Everything seems fine under Storage & USB Settings, except when I launch the File Manager - it's only showing me the SD card, both by name and size.

Edit:

 

As a last resort, tried to format the SD card as external storage, rebooted the phone and reformatted as internal. Rebooted.

After a hard work of backing up my data, i formatted the phone (reset to default): it seems to be the only method to solve.

Then it seems to accept SD with right space. :smileyembarrassed:

Hope it's useful
