So... Hi everyone, here's my problem. When i go in my phone's settings it says that i have 920MB available ( 7.20GB on 8.00GB ) , But , when i plug it on my computer in file transfer mode it shows that my storage is full and that the capacity is only 3.70GB

So, thats about it please help thanks;)

The phone is telling you about the entire storage, while the PC only sees the "/sdcard" partition.

The difference is that the 8GB includes the partitions used by your operating system, radio firmware, system cache etc. These take up more than half of the very limited storage your phone has. The PC is just seeing the space that's available for user files (which makes sense as there's nothing it can do with the rest).
