I hope somebody can help me with this cause Im not too happy right now. 2 days ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and Ive signed into my Google Accounts so I can install my apps.
The device has 8GB of memory, Ive installed only 12 games yet the device tells me I do not have enough room to install more ?!?!? WTF ! I have 8GB of storage.
When I go to settings, SD Card and Device Storage it shows I have 5GB of space left.
Then I plugged the device into my computer to see if I can copy over some music, 1.25 GB worth copied to the device with no problem leaving me over 3GB of space so whats the deal? why cant I install a 20mb app but I can copy over a gig of music?

That's happened to me a few times. Try clearing Market cache in Menu > Applications > Market and reboot
I am curious... what error are you getting from your phone?
I get a "can't install on USE or SD card" error....
And its getting worse...
I have like 30 meg free... and get an error installing a 4 meg file...

If you meant Settings>Applications>Manage Applications I just did that and the option to clear the cache is greyed out and its already set at zero.

Hi,
I'm still new to the SGP5 (in my case), but if you can, try to get something like App2SD installed. That tells you how much "internal" (not sure what its called on the SGPs) memory is available. At least on another device I have (a Droid), even though you have lots of space available, they only allocated a relatively small amount for "system", which is where apps normally go, so you can run out of that "system" space way before using up all of the internal SD space.
Apps like App2SD/App2SD pro will "move" parts of some apps (not all apps are "moveable") to the external microSD, leaving a much smaller "footprint" in the internal SD.
Jim
This is quite common, what you want to do is clear all the cache and everything else. To do this go to the Sd card or root of device and deleting the tmp folder and going into android and deleting other cache related to the device. Thats how mine got fixed.
hey thanks for the info. I was beginning to think I had a defective device. I wound up installing my apps a little bit at a time, took me a couple of hours. for some I actually had to side load them.
I will definitely get App2SD and see how that works.
This device is a Xmas gift for my 8yr old because he likes my Galaxy S II more than the iPhone 4 I gave him. he would not have been able to put all the games on it so I figured Id open it up and at least put all the games on it.
thanks again for your help.

Hi,
Mind you, not all apps will be moveable. I'm not sure of the technical details, but I think they have to be written a certain way to be moveable. In any event, a nice side benefit of apps like App2SD/App2SD Pro is that they will show you the space available for apps, so you get an idea about how much "headroom" you have.
Good luck,
Jim

Really wanting to pick up one of these Notes but, as I learned with my HTC Desire, I ran out of space for my applications rather quickly (until I rooted it), so I'm wondering if the Note suffers from the same issue of not enough space on the stock RoM? I really don't feel like rooting it but if that's the solution then so be it but I'm a bit of an app whore and I need space for them all.
Thanks all.
Any input appreciated.... Probably still getting one but I just wondered if app space has been an issue for anyone?
You have 11gb after all the system files are on there. That should be plenty, and if it isn't you can always save apps to sd.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
On my old desire only 512 MB or so was dedicated to app storage so it got consumed quickly, just wasn't sure if the Note had a similar spec for its internal memory.
I made the mistake of going back to BlackBerry and I've been out of the android loop for a bit but I'm coming back!

That is the internal sdcard for user storage...not apps
The data partition (where user apps are installed) is a bit over 2gb.
Way less than 11 but still should be plenty

Dude, I just bought the note about a 10 days ago, I'm not sure but it seems like i have a problem with the storage. My problem is that, I downloaded many games and all the data of those games that i downloaded stored automatically to the internal memory of the phone not to my SD card. Now my 32 GB SD is empty and my phone memory is full. I don't know what to do, if I ever move any of the data to my SD card then i can't play that game it will asked to download the data again. My phone is not rooted. I was wondering if rooted, does it going to help.

Can't u click menu on some of those games and see if it will allow you to place backups or saved data to another file? And redirect it to external sd card ?

Apps can only be saved to the ~16 GB on the phone/internal sd card. The external is pretty much for music/videos/pictures. You can root, install titanium backup and backup apps to external SD. Then if you run out of space, uninstall less used items and you can restore from where you left it vs re downloading and starting over. Not perfect, but it's this way on a few phones (Droid bionic comes to mind)

System, data and cache partitions. Install Terminal Emulator and type "df" (I'm not sure if it's only shipped with busybox, if so install busybox from Play Store too). It will print all mounted partitions, their size and used size.
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply!!
It just bugs me that I only have 320MB available memory for applications...
Also, another memory related question...
When I am on the Apps Settings, first it shows that I only have 52MB left, then when the sizes of the apps finish loading, it turns to 131MB left...
Can somebody shed some light into this?
Again, thanks for the answer...

Maybe it's a bug. Second value is true, I think.
I am no technical person but i really think you should root your phone and use Link2SD to save the space, my phone was a worthless piece of crap till i got around to using Link2SD and now i have tons of apps on it and the internal memory has more than 150mb free which makes it run fatser.
this app will also tell you the information you need about how much space left exactly.
I tried rooting my phone but i was greatly unsuccessful... my phone was stuck on an endless bootloop... so i reflashed... it would be great if i can flash this...
Earlier, i have 50mb free, but when i installed icq, it says that i don't have enough space...

you probably know that you can send apps to sd using the regular way " from app info", but some apps can't be sent like chrome for example.
if you already know that and the icq app isn't movable then you should consider giving it up, and maybe using a multi im client like imo beta, it supports icq i think
and just steer clear from those apps that can't be moved using app2sd, you can find it here if tyou don't already know about it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
good luck
Yeah... I know about that one... it's just that icq is only a 3mb app, and I have 59mb free memory... so why would it suddenly say that I'm out of memory...
That's just weird... anyway, I have given up about the memory issue on my phone... unless i somehow find a way how to root this, I'm good as stuck...
Sent from my MK16i using Tapatalk 2
well i use link2sd for that too. i don't know if it will work with you because this function is not root related but you should give it a try
download the app and launch it. ideally you'll get a list of apps on your device. there is a button at the top to sort these apps and if you choose to sort by size you'll see which applications are taking more space and that's how you know what's eating your space.
probably other app managers do that as well cause all you need to do is sorting which is no big deal.
i am no expert when it comes to rooting but it took me a long time to do it in my device because pieces of information were scattered everywhere. so i am sure if you look harder and ask experienced members here you'll eventually work it out
best of luck.

you're on ICS, right?
when I updated my mini pro to ICS, several apps just force closed when I was trying to run them. so I uninstalled them and tried to download them from Play Store again, and I was getting the same "low free space" message. I'd say those apps are just incompatible with ICS and you have to look for some alternatives.
Thanks again for the replies ... really appreciate it... i have another question that's sort of memory related... i installed hatchi, but niw it seems that i can't uninstall the updater...

You can try this:
www bongizmo.com/blog/moving-all-android-apps-to-sdcard-apps2sd-froyo/
If you want, I found it while I'm searching the internet but didn't try it
I know there is probably nothing that can be done, but it's worth a shot to ask...
The other night when I was texting on my phone at work, I got a random notification that said something to the effect of "SD Card has unmounted unexpectedly". I just cleared and figured it was no big deal. Later on, I noticed that I couldn't access any music or pictures that were saved so I restarted my phone, and still nothing showed up. I went to recovery and it wouldn't mount my SD card(external 16GB, by the way). When I look at my SD card in root explorer, some of the stuff still shows up but they all say "0 bytes". And now, I just have this constant notification that says "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I click on it and it gives me the option to "Format" or "Cancel". My question is, is there any way to recover what's on the SD card before I format? I don't understand what caused this at all. I've never had a problem with my SD card on any of my EVOs before, and now it suddenly gets 'corrupted' or something? I don't get it... But I really don't want to lose every picture and song on my SD Card, if possible.

Did you try putting it in your pc to see if your files were there? I don't know if anything can be recovered. You probably don't want to hear this, and not to be a jerk, but that's what Dropbox and other backups are for. Someone might have an idea for helping out though, that really sucks if you lost it all. I'm always afraid of that happening.
This happened to me. I downloaded "test disk" to my PC and recovered everything
Edit: its a free program.

Well a couple of things to try, boot into recovery and try to fix permissions. I had a problem where out of the blue pics music and apps didn't work that were on the card. I couldn't get anything to work so I fixed permissions and everything came back. Now as far as recovery goes, what OS are you working with on your computer. If it is mac, try DISKWARRIOR that program is AMAZING, so far I have had to use it on a mac and a windows pc at work. This program literally found every doc, pic and mp3, flipchart and smartboard pages on each HD and the HD was corrupt enough that NOTHING was able to see it when I put the HD's in an external case.

I run Kubuntu(Linux) on my personal computer that I built almost three years ago now(still a beast!)... I have Windows 7 on one of my secondary HDs for those rare times that I require the use of Windows. My mom has a Mac, though, so I hopped on there to see about DiskWarrior and it costs $100! Maybe if I can find a free trial version somewhere or something... I'm going to give a few things a try, though. Obviously the information is still on there but there's something causing it to not read correctly on anything. The Mac won't read it normally either...
Anyone have any idea where all my internal memory is going.
I realized that I only had 2.85gb of memory on my internal sd
I deleted some crazy but I truly have no idea where it's getting these numbers.
It shows I have 7.83gb in miscellaneous files. When I opened it and added the files size up, it only comes to 2.07gb.
Not only that. I completely cleared my download folder and it still shows 20mb usage.
Damn I miss my 32gb s3
Am I missing something?

I had that problem before on this phone but I just did a full wipe and started over and it was fine but I could not tell ya what caused it cause I haven't been really even using too many apps and games cause I have been too busy flashin different roms and playin around with the phone.. I have been being a huge slacker... If it's not too hard for ya I would just backup everything with TB and start over and then restore with NO app data included. I do it all the time but I have been crackflashin for years so I got it down to a science now. lol It is a pain though so if you can figure it out it would be better, of course.
** And YES, I do miss my 32gb S3 sometimes**
Okay. Downloaded SD maid.
Pretty much tells me exactly what I've seen on my storage tab.
I did clean some corpses (lol) but nothing out of the ordinary.
Don't mind the Six Feet deep episodes, those are on my SD card.
Btw, as far as roms go. I've only flashed beans v2 and I always fully wipe and never restore with data, ever.
I also have never had a problem with a rom, and I credit that towards always wiping clean. So what it takes a few more minutes to set up. At least you know it's a fresh install right?
So it looks like your 4GB of TWRP backups were the culprit?
Edit: Oops - I guess only 1.44 GB of the TWRP backups were on the internal SD.

YUP! I am just sayin that something is not right and if you do it again and the problem is gone then "problem solved" ... But I didn't know if that was something you wanted to try? I went from the International Note 2 to the T-mobile Note 2 and now am on the Verizon Note 2 and I have seen this issue but I just don't have an answer for ya...?
EDIT: You do have some TWRP backups in your system files (in your internal storage) The one at the top anyways...
I'm confused about the Twrp backups. I only have 1 in there and it's the stock rooted backup.
This is my first time using Twrp. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I have been using clockwork for the past 2 years. Flashed hundreds of roms from my OG DX, DX2, Bionic, Gnex, Sgs3 and now Note 2. Never had this issue on CWMR
Hmmm here's how I interpret it...
7.83 GB of Miscellaneous files
5.77 GB of which are dedicated to System Memory.
2.06 GB remain
1.62 GB of that being TWRP
0.44 GB dedicated to everything else listed.
I wonder what is in Note II's Android OS that requires 5.77 GB of memory.
TouchWiz is a big *****
Please read forum rules before posting
Questions go in Q&A
Thread moved
Just want you to know that you're not alone. Stock, I had those 5gb and now on Beans 3 it's still there. I've wiped more times than after eating dirty mexican food and nothing seems to work. I'll be creeping this thread hoping someone finds an answer.
I also have 5.77GB of Miscellaneous Items. Granted reading that post earlier 5.77GB dedicated to System Memory. So yeah. I guess mines alright.

Hey everyone!
So. Mum has been nagging forever because her Moto e kept on saying there's not enough storage yadda yadda.
Now, here I thought she had been downloading too many candy crush ripoffs, but I've been digging around a bit and it looks like... 2GB are just... Gone!
I couldn't find what was taking so much space, so I used a few storage analysis apps. They all gave me the same information: the unmovable apps on her phone occupied no more than 2.5GB.

Have you tried cleaning your cache.
Also I know this is not recommended by many but installing the 360 security lite app and cleaning usually clears up space without deleting any data. This has always worked for me on the stock ROM. For course once you clean up your phone delete the app cause it's really shady.

Thanks for your suggestion buddy.
Just tried with 360. It did clean up some space, but it was mainly cache and random useless files. Charming, but unfortunately not what I needed.
The internal memory still seems to be lacking these 2 phantom gigabytes and I really have no idea where they might have gone.
Meh!

On reading your post again, it struck to me that the pre-installed apps (Moto Display, Google, YouTube etc.) hog a lot of space. It was becoz of this I had rooted my phone and used system app Uninstaller to remove the Google apps I didn't use.

Definitely! I already disabled all the apps my mum doesn't need.
But again, the problem does not lie in the actual space the apps take! It's just that the data partition says that is 4.5 gigs full, but when I try and look up what is taking up all this space it says there are only 2.5 gigs of apps (apk+data+cache) since I moved everything else on the SD card.
So, again, where are these 2 gigabytes?

I knw this will be an inconvenience but try and format device. I've noticed that often when I phone is updated thought an OTA without wiping data, so issues arise.

That's what I did in the end. Thing is, I didn't update through ota, I flashed the update manually. Seems like it's fixed now, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for the help buddy.
