8GB+ System Data on the G4?

[Stwutter]

Hi,

I got the G4 a few days ago.

It's my first 32gb phone. I looked at the storage stats, and saw that there's over 8gb under Miscellaneous, and when you go into that, it's 'System Data', but is greyed out.



It's not a big deal so far as performance or memory goes, but it does seem odd that I have an extra 16gb of storage compared to my last phone, and half of it is unusable.

Is this normal? I did a factory reset and restore and it actually went form 7gb to 8gb.

The System data is greyed out as that is the partition the rom is on.

You cant change this as its the amount of space required for the system.

So yea all seems perfectly normal my friend

Ok, thanks.

It does seem very high to me, as I'm sure my 16GB Z3 didn't have 4gb (or anything near it) taken up in the same way.

But it's still bigger than before, and with option to move apps to the SD, no big deal.

It is normal. Mine is at 9.35gb now

I was just as surprised last night when I saw that, man...count yourself lucky, mine's at 9GB right now! I come from a stock Lollipop 5.1.1 Nexus 5, so, yeah...but the phone's running great and I should be getting that free 32GB LG microSD card in a few weeks perhaps.

My LG G4c uses 4,20GB (like it's mocking me) out of 8GB. I mean, they could just sell it as a 4GB phone...

it's not freaking normal at all. i have another 32gb device running on marshmallow and it only consumes like less than 2gb of memory. why is it that my g4 running lollipop takes like 4x over of the system data?
