Internal memory not 4gb

[eureka]

Surely it's the same as other boxes, smartphones, tablets etc & that some of the internal storage is used up by the operating system, any pre-installed apps, as well as any other apps that you install yourself? So when something is advertised as having 4GB internal memory or storage it's not claiming to have 4GB available, just what it's overall capability is.

It would still show a 4 gig capacity just with a good chunk used up for apps and operating system. It does not show the 4 gig capacity, only 2 gig. Your computer and smart phone uses up internal memory for the operating system, but the hard drive/chip capacity still reads a total storage capacity. The portion of the drive used by the operating system is not "hidden".

Sounds like the flash is not formatted properly.

Captain was your plus the same as ours on not showing 4gb? Is there anyone that can get in contact with AVOV to clear this up? As I stated in my first post I contacted them and they responded once with no help, I have since replied back but they have not answered me.

I haven't got my plus hooked up right now. I'm sure mine was the same as everyone elses.

Someone will come on and correct me if I am wrong, (and I am going to skip a bunch of the finer details,) but the OS is created in a separate 'partition' of the internal storage, and the remaining space is left in its own partition. Settings->Storage reports the space in the non-OS partition. Again, I too wish I could see the OS partition in these numbers.

More importantly, I wish manufacturers would report actual available storage on the packaging of a device, it is such a kick in the pants to get home with your brand new device and find that you have only half the space it says on the box. Very frustrating.

Hope this helps.
