Only 45.8 GB available of Internal Storage? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

My LG G7 has internal storage 64GB and I don't remember how much of this number was available at first when I buy it.
I did root and bootloader unlock my device as well for any other personal purposes and I verified that my storage has 45.8GB available I found it little. Isn't too much for a Android to use almost 18.2GB of system?
Is that correct really? If not, how to fix it please?

That sounds about right. I have a Verizon G7 and have about the same situation. That's why I've added a 128 GB microSD card for storage outside of the on-board memory.

I guess that is the price for the a/b partitions. Everything exists twice except data.

real capacity is 59.53 GB. 13,5GB is for system, internal hidden data etc.

[Q] Does the glide have 8gb internal memory??

Hi guys, need some help here. I was selling my sister's i927 on ebay and I just picked the generic ebay title for this phone that says it has 8gb internal memory. So today I got a complain from the buyer saying that he/she only sees 2gb storage.
As I never used this phone, I am not sure there are any variants that has less internal memory. Can somebody help here, maybe with a screen shot that shows how much memory it has? Greatly appreciate it!!
8GB internal, AFAIK is divided as follows
4 gb for actual user storage
2gb for android system itself (in different partitions like /system and /data cache etc)
and 2gb for android user apps, cache, etc (downloaded from google play, etc).
I hope this helps. Though I still advice to research it to google.

[Q] was I cheated?

Hi
I am so curious about my phone ROM size. I'm not sure if I was cheated. My phone specs say that Internal Memory(ROM) is 4G but when I check it with Antutu, it show only 222MB. Was I cheated? Please check the link and attachment for screenshot.

Are you asking about your phones ROM, RAM or internal storage? The only number give in the Specifications is 4GB of internal memory... which means internal storage for apps and such.

It should be 4GB but Antutu show only 222MB. That's why I'm curious. Did you check attachment for my screenshot?
No the attachment was unable to open for me... But to answer your question I have seen some factory installed ROM's as large as 6gb so im not suprised that most of your space has already been taken. Just add an Micro SD card. Another way to check is to hook it up to your PC and see how much space windows says it should have. You can also find the largest files and see if its bloatware or something else.

OK, I attached JPG. Why 4GB turn to 222MB? It is not even close.
First of all you are not in the right forum, this is the i747(m) forum. Secondly the information you are looking at is the physical memory (RAM), and the size of the rom that is installed (ROM, go figure). This simply means that the partition size to install an OS on your device is 222 MB large, which is stored on the internal storage (sdcard). The specs for the device list 4GB total internal storage, after subtracting system reserved space (ROM, Recovery, Bootloader, etc.) you are probably left with a little over 3 GB of actual accessible storage space. The screen shot you have provided does not include the internal storage capacity.

No, as i stated in the instance of this screen shot the ROM label is signifying the size of the partition you have available to install an OS, i say it doesn't include internal storage because it doesn't mention internage storage (or sdcard) anywhere in the pictures. I have never used Antutu so i downloaded to see what it looked like on mine and it is much more detailed. I attached a screenshot, and i also attached a screenshot of the storage menu from the settings menu, which is all you need to look at to find out how much internal storage you have. As you can see my device has 1700 MB of RAM (physical memory) and although their label of 'memory' under storage is incorrect and misleading you can see it matches exactly and is in fact the internal storage size...the information you are seeking. You can see the same information on internal storage with the built in storage menu. You will also notice that i only have a useable 12GB, when my phone actually has 16GB internally....this is because of system reserved space. Im not really sure how much more specific i can get about the difference between RAM, ROM, and storage....i hope this helps.
On a commentary note, seriously dude if your device only had 222 MB of internal storage after the intial install size of your ROM you are left with 46 MB, you would be hardly able to install a couple apps and cache a few websites before you phone decided life isn't worth it and jumped out the window.

Do you think Android 2.3 OS take more than 3GB? It could be enough for OS for PC. I'm not sure if you say ROM and Internal Storage is different?

That is precisely what i said, in great detail.
I don't get it well. If they are different, why both of them are not mentioned together in specs list. Basically, If Internal is mentioned, no ROM is mentioned. Look at this link for example. Spec show only ROM, no Internal Storage.

Their specification is labeled wrong. Like i said several posts ago, go into the settings menu on your phone, then storage. This will tell you how much internal storage you have available and a chart of what is using it.

One reason I'm trying to figure out if manufacturer sold me what I've been told. The second reason, I want to buy a new phone which is not popular brand like Samsung. If I can't figure out what is the real Internal Storage, I might end up buying a phone with very small internal storage which I won't be able to install many apps. I mean 4GB is really enough for me if it is really 4GB, not 222MB or less.

LG G3 storage question

Hi all,
I have a question regarding a phone i own. I flashed cm13 on it and i see it shows only 11.xx GB. Is this normal ? The phone is 16gb
Thanks
I own a 32 gb model and storage wise i think i only have 24 available so much is reserved for system partition plus other partitions efs aboot ect so id about say its normal
I know but on my wifes Galaxy s5 it shows her internal space is 16gb and if i remember correctly my phone showed that as well on the stock lg firmware. See video what i mean. CM13 shows something else (picture first post)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=_VzCganiKo8
Mine does that after a while what I usually to do is if there is nothing you need on internal storage is to boot into twrp wipe internal storage ,making sure you have your rom on ext card (don't want to wipe that do we) then flash my rom.
This leaves me from a clean install with about 8 or 9 gb left to use on internal storage.I think what happens over time is a lot of useless files tend to build up on internal card and this is the reason you don't have much space left and also the operating system takes up quite a bit as well.
just buy a 64gb micro sdcard... or even a 32gb if you don't need much more, they are really cheap.
part of the missing space is the partition information space and the space used by the system/recovery/cache etc. on android 6.0 you can format it as internal.
How can i format that space ? I am running CM13 that uses Android 6.0.1
Here another screenshot from the recovery, why does the recovery not say i have 16GB ???? i don't really understand why it's not listed.
Because it shows available storage not total
Oke thanks for the answer.

HTC 10 - Adaptive Storage Mode

Might as well create a thread of people who are using their SD Cards as Adaptive Storage instead of External "removable" storage.
I recently bought a 128GB Lexar Pro 1000x *UHS-II and used it as Adaptive Storage. So far so good but during the formating of the card it was stucked on 40% but rebooted the phone and voila after reboots it became adaptive storage and migrated all my data.
I have another curious question, when the SD Card is used as Adaptive Storage, is the SDCard is the primary install location of all apps? What happens when the internal storage is full, will it just continue doing its stuff occupying the big space from external SD?
Looking forward to an enjoyable discussion.

Been using this on my One M8 and now HTC 10 so I had some experience.
First off when you first run the Adaptive storage say yes to move app etc, this will help when you connect Phone to a PC so you can see the Full SD card for putting music on etc
App now install on both Internal or SD card depends on the app tbh I found most games will go right onto the SDcard, the great thing now though you can move each app when ever you want.

No NO it will finish eventually. Id say reformat as portable again then reformat as internal.
Cool. I just switched from a slower 128GB card to a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-I U3 card so that I could switch to adaptive storage. No freezing, etc, when formatting. It just worked. I was originally running it the 128GB card without adaptive storage enabled..
The only "hitch" that I encountered was that HTC Messages app kept saying "Space is unavailable" every time I opened a picture message, or tried to save the image. These were ones that I received after I switched to adaptive storage. I cleared the cache, and that didn't help, at least at first, but then it started working as expected after some fooling around. It's worth mentioning that Google Messenger wasn't affected, it was only HTC Messages..
Other than that, so far so good. I'm not rooted (yet), and haven't read to far into that error, although there are a few users experiencing that with the HTC messages program. Will report back if I notice anything odd.

Last night I wanted to try Viper10 Rom, on my stock rooted rom I was using the adoptive storage feature, the second I wiped(NOT format) data the SD card was ruined.
Its required to full wipe when changing roms with totally different bases, so adoptive storage seems like you can no longer flash custom roms? :/
My Sandisk 64GB card thinks its 16GB and it won't even work, it formats in windows 10, won't read in Android anymore, says its "unsupported and 0MB" but it thinks its 16gb, and once you try to move anything to it Windows no longer reads the card and corrupts.
I don't know if adoptive storage is the exact cause or if my card happen to die while in TWRP so beware, does anyone else have feedback on this? what's your experience with flashing roms and having adoptive storage?
It sucks!! but eh I guess getting a Samsung 64GB Pro+ is better then a regular Sandisk(not extreme).

Thanks! So let me ask you, how do you enjoy adoptive storage and be able to flash new custom roms?
Wiping data doesn't wipe internal storage, and it doesn't wipe portable SD either, so why does adoptive storage SD mode get corrupted on data wipe? What's the way around it? never use adoptive storage again unless you plan on staying with stock or one rom?

Personally even at 32gb I don't see a need for adoptable storage.
I keep my media on a 64gb card and don't use the internal storage except for pics and misc things. This way I can flash updates and things from recovery, directly off the SD.

In the old days we used Apps on SD because of storage space etc. Do you really need apps on the SD when installed normally they're still on the internal storage and not the system folder.

I suppose it will be fine, I have 9GB left now but after all this crap I RUU'd my phone to fix everything because my phone wouldn't stop boot looping after around 3 minutes after this SD corruption.
I have all the apps I usually have installed, but almost all these games never been run after the loss, so no data yet for these games, hopefully after a couple months of use, saved game data and such only make it where it says 8GB left or more, if not, I am sure it will be alright.
NOTE: I already moved photos, videos, music, Game ROMs(SNES N64, PS1) to SD Card leaving 9GB left.
I'm sure it will all be fine, thank you for helping me make this decision today!, I also noticed in Download/Fastboot Mode that the SD card is properly detected, no more "SD Card Not Mounted" Firmware updates will be easier, no more PC use! :good:
It's not ruined @Viper4713 It's just partitioned incorrectly.
You can only have a single partition on the SD card. Yours now has a 16GB partition instead of a 64GB partition.
You can use this tool to "recover the lost space". There's manual ways as well but this works just fine.
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...l-to-restore-full-capacity-on-sdhc/sdxc-cards
Remember that your SD card reader needs to support SDXC cards.
If you use this with a reader that only supports SDHC cards, you'll end up with a 32GB partition.

I agree. If you are a fan of switching ROMs I dont suggest Adaptive Storage.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
Adaptive storage is a meh feature for phones with 32GBs or more on-board. I think it was designed for the low budget Android phones with 8GBs or less that practically can't fit anything on their phone without assistance. There's plenty of cheap phones that come with sd card slots and this feature benefits them greatly.

I will heed your advice, but what to do about apps which will potentially use up a lot of storage space such as music apps ? Spotify is well behaved and lets me specify the SD card for its offline cache, but Soundcloud Go doesn't. Is there a way to either create a symlink or run just that one app off the SD card without using adoptable storage ?

Samsung is lying under our noses

Before you leave a comment please read the entire post.
I just got my device today and wanted to check the storage of my device in de My Files app.
And saw the amazing 1TB of storage and 99GB of used storage which was strange since I only got the device today and am pretty sure their system ROM doesn't use 80GB of internal storage.
I then download ES Filemanager to see what was using all the storage and then saw that I was in fact only using 13GB of internal storage and that actual total of usable storage only amounts to 937GB.
I don't really mind that it isn't really 1024GB of usable storage. But that they lie to us by showing 99GB of used storage in the My Files app to reach the total of 1TB usable space. That just doesn't sit too well to me.
What do you think about this?
1tb flash storage are not 1024gb but 937gb. i know that because i use byself on my pc nvme drive and i have a samsung 970 evo 1tb mounted that have exactly 937gb. the system of the s10+ use only 5gb and not 13. what you need to know is how linux works. the phone have more as 1 partition . system partition is allmost 6gb, vendor partition other 1.15gb, cache when i saw right on my s10+ 900mb, swap memory 2.5gb etc etc. so when you remove all partition from the 937gb is normal that you have left 901gb. you can buy a 1tb ssd for the pc and you see the same. you haven then 931 or 937gb (differs from brand to brand). in fact the chip have 1tb because it have 1000202039296 byte
^this! Kudos
If you use all 1TB of storage I'll buy you a 256gb SD card to make up for the loss. If you have ever used any phone, computer, or device with any kind of storage you would know this is how storage works.

Not really talking about the partitions tho, I'm wondering towards why they show 99GB in use...
Did anyone read till the end, yes I know 1TB doesn't always equal 1024GB and yes I know partitions do exists and that system most of the time takes around 4GB. And no I honestly don't care about the lost space of not having exactly 1024GB. I was wondering towards why they show 99GB of storage in use while only 13GB really is used
I think that nobody really read the post so to clarify. He isn't complaining about him not getting the full 1TB storage, he is wondering why the software from samsung says it is 99GB used and the software from ES Filemanager says it's 13GB.
It's probably that the software from samsung the flash storage without partitions shows, so it doesn't take in consideration that the flash storage might have multiple partitions. While ES Filemanager shows that you have 13GB used in the partition your files and apps get stored in.
So technically samsung isn't "Lying" to us. They are just showing the intire flash storage.

I don't really mind that it isn't really 1024GB of usable storage. But that they lie to us by showing 99GB of used storage in the My Files app to reach the total of 1TB usable space. That just doesn't sit too well to me.
What do you think about this?

That's how all storage works. You never have the true amount. There is space reserved for the operating system and apps.

Buy why so much storage
I would assume they have it "hardcoded" to show "Used Space" = ( 1TB - "Available Space") ? Other thing I am not sure but on Linux (pretty sure Android uses ext4) you have by default 5% used for root filesystem so that takes away from your storage. Anyone to correct me maybe ?

Oh thank you someone who doesn't act toxic, thank you. And yes the probably hardcode and that was the point I was making. A lot of people just started raging as if I'm not happy with the 1TB usage...
What a reach
