Root Internal Storage...1.80GB???

Just wondering why my internal storage is showing 1.80GB with only 361MB available?

This phone is supposed to have 4GB of internal storage. My LG Motion had 5, and it displayed 4.something GB at the top while showing what was available at the bottom.

So why does this one show 1.80GB at the top instead of 3.something GB?

Thanks!
 
From what I understand, the 4gb internal storage is the total amount for the phone, meaning some of it will be used by the OS and other apps. The user-allowable amount is 1.8gb to 2gb.

The LG Motion was the same way, but displayed differently.

I can't believe the OS uses 2.2GB though. That's ridiculous...especially on a phone that won't let us move apps to the SD card!

Yeah, I know it can be done with some work, but I don't speak developer. I read through everything that has to be done to allow apps to move to SD and my head was spinning!
 
Apps to sd is available by simply adding two lines to the build prop. The user storage is 1.8gb, deleting a few unused ring tones and notification sounds you don't like will help free up a little space too. I have a little over 100 apps installed and I still have 1.1gb free...

Two lines for a2sd and where to place them..

Could you please please please give me a step by step on how to do this? My phone is so slow it is depressing...I can't even swipe from one screen to another without a slight delay. I can't delete any more apps, because I use everything I have! I would be incredibly grateful for your assistance...just make sure you don't leave even the simplest of steps out!

Also, I found out a coworker has the same phone. His also says 1.80GB so I know now it's the way the phone displays. Which is weird that one LG would show memory differently than another.
 
Using a root file manager scroll to system and find the build prop. Open it using text editor and at the bottom of the build prop you'll see all the ro.lge.capp lines find the one that says RO.LGE.CAPP.WAPSERVICE ( it will be in lower case lettering though) and enter the two lines needed underneath exactly as shown in screen shot above save and exit out. Reboot and when the phone comes back on go to settings/apps/downloaded (you can't move system apps to sd) select each app installed and see which ones allow you to move then select the button that says move to sd.

I keep getting a error the only thing I see different is on the sdcard=true line has a underline under true. Is this needed?
