I just got this tablet dirt cheap as a display model. I have other tablets but none with a screen this big. So it is only showing 234MB total internal storage in one partition (its supposed to have 4 GB). So I know system files take over a gig but it should still have a couple of gig. I contacted the manufacture who tried to do a reset (and didn't even know how to do a restore to default, I had to tell her how to do it as I had already searched on it). Even after a restore it only shows 234MB. It was a display so someone may have messed with it in the store. The manufacture said return it to the store without really trying to trouble shoot it (I can not get another to replace it so cheap). If its dead fine, I can return but I would like to get it to work. I have searched and tried things but can not find the missing space. It is not rooted and I don't know how to do it. I do have a terminal emulator installed but can not find any info I can interpret.
Could anyone help me find if the partitions are just messed up or is the hardware bad?
edit:
A little additional info. I found a file explorer that is showing system files and folders. proc is 1.6gb, sys is 25MB, and system is 173MB. The rest are small files and folders not more than a few MB. It doesn't show the missing space though. It only shows one partition in settings. Its almost as if there is unalocated space or a partition that is not showing up?
