I bought my S2 from SenQ and as part of the package I was offered RM90 for a 16 GB Kingston microSD card.
I installed the card, but when I went to the Setting->Storage, I saw under SD card my TOTAL space only 14.89 GB!! Can anyone explain what has happened?
I have also moved several apps from the phone memory to SD card, when I went to Setting->Applications->Memory Usage, I saw that indeed under "On SD card", it displayed the apps I have just moved. However, at the very bottom of the screen there is this green color bar and it says SD card storage: 11GB free, 188 MB used. Wow... so now I lost another 3GB of SD card memory??
Furthermore, when I used the default file explorer (My Files) and browse to 'external_sd', I don't see files inside. Can someone please explain to me how all these things work?
Thanks

Ok, here how it works... 16GB = 160000000000B - This is normal math but the calculations towards the GB in our pc/phone goes by the binary code law.
Binary code = 1 or 0 only, so the nearest number that it can get towards 1000 is 2 power 10, which is 1024. And hence:
1KB = 1024B, so 160000000000B = 15625000KB
Again 1MB = 1024KB, so 15625000KB = 15258.78906MB
And again 1GB = 1024MB, so 15258.78906MB = 14.90116119GB which almost same amount as 14.89GB that you see on your phone...
