8.92 GB Internal memory?
Hello everyone,
I just got the Photon last night. I just moved on from my Evo 4G. It's a completely different experience in the UI. Cant wait to root and change out he ROM. Here is my problem. I go to check the system and It shows Internal storage "Total space 8.92 GB" "Available space 8.63". It's supposed to have 16 GB of internal memory. I understand that some of the OS and other bloatware is going to take up some of the Internal memory, but Almost half? 8GB? that seems a bit extreme. Is this normal or do I have a defective phone? Thanks |

The user has access to 8.91 gigs for storage of music, photos, videos, app cache and other non app downloads. 2.8 gigs is used for app storage. A portion goes for formatting. Similar to formatting a 16 gig storage card. The user does not have all of the 16 gigs available after formatting a 16 gig card. The rest is used for the OS, internal cache and security...... |

Thanks for the clear answer. That does seem like quit a bit to loose though. Almost 8 GB? what about the phones that only have 1 GB of internal memory? They obviously don't loose anywhere near that.

You mention other phones with 1 gig of memory. They have to share that 1 gig with the OS, app storage and RAM. Not mention the app caches, and clipboard. I'll take a phone any day that has almost 3 gigs of internal app storage.... |

Don't forget about webtop. That is most certainly taking up some room. I have not looked at the partition table yet, but I'm sure that consumes a good deal of space.
