Help Not adding up

After the latest update, which seemed to hang for a few days, My phone began to randomly restart and I could no longer use my new 128GB sd card I just got. Keep getting an error about sd card is unmounted.
My 8GB phone, which shows 3.96GB max, shows 201mb left available. I selected all files and folders on phone which added up to 1.42GB. So where is my 2.54GB I should have left? I deleted everything I could think of which didn't help. Do I factory reset and see what happens? Will it solve both problems?
Thanks in advance.
 
MLSS, thanks for the advice. After reset, storage showed the right info, No more random restarts, and no google products crashing so far. Been a few days. Thanks

This "Sharp Aquos Crystal Mod #306SH is a great looking cellular phone but I had trouble with the using some apps and I needed to download as many apps to my SD card as possible but I had a hard time with this phone. Many of the Tech Support folks acted like it is me that is messed up instead of the phone, so I took it back to the Boost store where I got it after one day, they said it was OK and I wasn't using it correctly!? The "Boost Store" which had Boost signs everywhere and the phone number said it was Boost but the Customer rep there (after my purchase) said: Oh we aren't a Boost Company Store! Everything about it said: "BOOST MOBILE" anyway, the girl did a soft reset and sent me on my way!

Boost Mobile Corporation has a 14 day no questions asked return policy but the store I got mine at would not honor it! When I got a real Boost Company Agent on the phone, they simply said for me to take it to a Boost Mobile Store (which I never found) so they just lost me in cyberspace. So I sent the stubborn phone to Sharp Warranty Services. They received the phone, by their own admission: they returned the phone after doing nothing more than an assessment and my stuff was still on the phone, so we all know that means, the most they did, was a soft reset and sent it back! As far as I know, it still has never worked properly! I almost never hear it ring and I may not get any voicemails for a week or more from the date they were left in my voicemail!?
Now, that's it as far as the phone goes but Boost Mobile Customer Service number 1 (866) 402-7366 from the Internet is nothing more that a telemarketing line which holds you for ransom to talk to Boost Mobile Rep! When I have reached a Boost Mobile Rep in the past, I asked her for my account number (they keep it hidden from customers) because as she said: Customers only want it, so they can switch companies and port their phone numbers! They use your cell number to access the website with the 4 digit number given to everyone by Boost Mobile Agent when you sign up! I was amazed but after all of that, the lady asked why I wanted my account number and I just said for my record anyway after much time, she said it's so you can leave Boost, right? I said yes, she offered me a free month and a new (low end Smart phone) and I didn't take her offer immediately because I needed to think about it (she assured me I could do it if I called back in a week or so) and when I called back and finally got through, the rep said NO WAY! I called back today and after almost an hour, the rep said the computers are down! That's way to common too! Since Boost Mobile Customer Service is so hard to contact, I want to sale my (Like New) Sharp Aquos Crystal Mod #306SH for $30 + $5 = $35 to first person who wants it. It may well be that I just don't know how to make the correct adjustments to make the phone work correctly and because the phone's good attributes, a huge screen, overall size and weight make it a very nice Smart Phone for a Boost Customer. I'll give a case (some minor scuffs), but it protects the phone from damages from drops etc. so If you're interested, please email me at this email address: electrikn@gmail.com and we can finish the deal. Thanks, jerry b baker <><
