3 apps have taken up 4 gig of space?
#1
I recent;y purchased a Mizo i9 and I'm having quite a bit of trouble with it.

One of the most annoying issues is due to the ROM on the phone.
It claims to have 16gb of internal storage, but when I first got the phone I installed just under 1GB of apps and then kept on getting the "insufficient Storage on device" message. The remaining 306mb of available data dwindled on a daily basis without me installing anything else to the phone and yesterday I got a warning that some apps would stop working due to "insufficient space"

I contacted the supplier who told me to Factory Reset the phone.

I did this and before installing any apps the Available storage was 12.46GB.

After installing the Facebook, Twitter and 8 Ball Pool apps the phone states there is now 8gb of available storage left.

Is this normal?

If not any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this isn't in the correct sub-forum than I apologise,. Just not sure where it should be posted.

I have had this happen in the past, but what had actually happened was the phone had automatically downloaded all of my gmail attachments. it's unlikely this is the case with you, but just mentioning it.

when you kept getting the insufficient storage message, approximately what did your storage info read? (internal, phone & SD) ?

are you rooted?

Hmmm the gmail attachments sounds like something worth looking into. Did you just disable gmail to remedy the problem?

Here is a screen shot I took before.
[Image: Screenshot_2015-06-23-16-14-59_zpsch4ectpi.png]

The 394mb that was available slowly dwindled down to 28mb without me downloading any more apps or taking photographs etc. That was when I got the warning that apps would stop working due to insufficient space.

The phone came pre-rooted. Root checker confirmed this, but when I try to install SuperSU I keep getting an error message when it tries to update the Binary.

That 16GB looks fishy. Unlikely you have true 16gb. It should read 12.94 or 13.68 (for example)...Not 16.00. Probably faked storage. True storage likely 4gb with 2gb or so free for installing apps.

What's the SoC when you plug into PC with MTK Droid Tool running?

Another user on here (mirandam) has the same phone and swore the storage was genuinely 16gb. I bought mine from the same supplier.

Although if the storage capacity is fake it would explain why I am having this problem.

By SoC do you mean this information?

Sorry I'm no expert and only have a basic grasp on Android.

Yes, this screenshot is what I mean. Well it's good news that it says MT6592. It *likely* means your SoC isn't being faked.

But something with storage is not right. It would never read exactly 16.00GB. There is a /system partition that takes up a GB or 2, and even if not, it wouldn't read exactly 16.00GB.

If it were truly 16.00GB (or 13.86 / 12.55 / 15.84 etc...), you would be able to install hundreds upon hundreds of apps. Perhaps 1000+ (assuming not installing big 3D games).

Are you rooted now? If you're rooted, you can go into your /data folder and check each folder (gmail folder etc...) to see if they're taking up massive amounts of space. When this happened to me, it didn't show it in app info. It was some separate folder with all the attachments that wasn't registered with the data info in system app info. I went in with ES explorer and checked the properties of the /data and then the individual folders in /data until I found the culprit (gmail attachments).
