Errr....Where's the Internal Storage?

---

So if I'm not mistaken, this phone is suppose to come with a 4GB internal storage n a 16GB (or 14.something something GB in reality)MicroSD card. Ok, I get that much, but, where is that 4GB internal storage? I checked in the Storage section and all I see is the 16GB SD card and 1.89GB free space under Internal Storage. If that 1.89GB is the only space left from the 4GB, what the hell is occupying the other 2GB of space? It can't be the OS (I'm very sure that's on a different chip/ram/etc) and whatever it is, I'm not seeing them on the phone (since the HD videos were even deleted when I format the SD card). So what is in here?

Also, Unlike on the Atrix, it seems you can't unmount the internal storage and view them on the computer under mass storage. In the atrix, when I connect the phone to the PC, I get 2 removable drives pop up, one the microSD and the other is called MB860, which is the internal storage of the phone.....So why can't we do the same thing on this phone? Is there something hidden in there? And if it's locked, that means LG lied about having 20GB of storage available on the phone, while it's only 16GB.

According to the official datasheet for the phone (click here) on page 2 under specifications it states that the phone has 4gb internal storage but only 1.91 gb is usable for apps (which is why on your phone it only shows ~1.9 gb available in info).

Awww!! That is BS!! So now I actually need to get a 32GB even if that 20GB would have sufficed -__-

That leftover space on the internal storage is for apps, specifically for apps that only works or works better in the internal storage over ext. sd card. I just restored all my apps for TiBu, and the apps that go into the internal storage end up in there , and those that go into the sd card end up in my sd card.

Now I only have 845MB of space left on the internal storage, which is not much at all, albeit it is sufficient for several hundred for apps, but still it's very little.

i say once we find a way to get CFW on the phone then we might be able to access it

Let's also remember that the Nitro HD has the 2GB of storage available, while the Optimus LTE only has 1GB.

are you talking about it's ROM storage capacity? (I don't what exactly it is called lol)

Application storage.
