When I use 1 Tap Cleaner, it shows Total 2.46GB, Available 257.18, I have 199 applications and most have been moved to SD card. When I go to storage through my settings, it shows Phone Storage, Total Space is 9.75GB, available space is 6.60GB, Internal Storage: Available space is 257. I used to have more space when I had 330 applications, I am not able to update some apps unless I clear some data on some applications. I clean my cache and data every day. How much space do I have for applications, are there other things besides applications taking my storage, I thought the phone has 16GB storage, plus I have 16G SD card. It is really frustrating experience. Appreciate your responses and help.

Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Installed the application "WhatsApp"
It seems that by default the Apps are installed in the 1GB device memory and not in the Internal Storage (16GB) by the Galaxy?
Do I need to use any application to directly install the apps to the 16GB Memory?
Help needed?
Just leave the apps where they are. They are placed there by design. 1 gig is plenty of memory. (not like the old days on the Desire)
Just use the SD for photo's, music etc.

That 16GB of internal memory, is not explicitly for your applications, the phone has shared partition of 2GB for your applications and the remaining 11.5GB for other forms of storage. Some application will automatically install on the SD card (external) as some phones do not have a large internal memory for applications such as the HTC Desire, only about 250MB~. You can move the application to your internal 2GB which I have found is slightly faster over when the phone boots up etc but not a major.
Hi,
I actually picked the S2 over the Sensation because of the slightly higher specs and the fact that phone has 16gb internal memory. Being new to android (switch from iPhone) I really don't get what device memory is and why it's filling up so fast. I have barely installed 5 tiny apps and already 140Mb out of the 1.97Gb has already been used. I installed loads of apps on my iPhone and I intend to do that same on my new one so could someone please explain this concept of device memory and what exactly is stored in there. Also, if I run out of device memory, how do I free it up or increase the 1.97Gb limit?
2GB /data rest as internal sd card, system partition, cache, etc.
You can move apps to sd card if the data partition is full.

Relax, there's plenty of space. I've more than 80 apps installed, and they uses 664MB, so around 240 apps before memory is filled up... Remember that large games like Gameloft games installs their main data on the 12GB partition. And there is also a possibility to move most of the apps to that area as well, but it is unlikely that you need that.
The 140MB used on your phone probably includes some pre-installed apps.
Phew! That's big relief... Thanks so much. Just one last small doubt, I realized that only some apps are allow to be moved to the SD card while others like facebook have the this option greyed out. Why is this exactly?
some apps have the ability to be moved to sd card while others dont due to the way they are built..
can use device internal memory to store app data?
guys is it possible to use the device internal memory (1.9gb) to store app data in absence of internal and external SD card? my camera/apps don't run in absence of the SD card any way to get around this by using the the device internal memory? ( i have 1.5gb free after installation of all the necessarily apps)
I'm curious how much of the 16GB is actually available to store data on. I only ask because in the storage settings I only show about 5GB free. I've gone through every folder and I really only have about 3GB of data on there, which is mostly app and game data. No music, pictures etc. That equals up to 8 gigs. Is that all we really "have"?
I think the 16GB is the total internal storage. I'm showing 10.48GB total available as user storage, 2.34GB as app space (/data). That's 12.82GB binary. Assuming they do like most storage manufacturer and use decimal GB in their ads, that's actually 13.13GB decimal. My assumtion is the remaining ~2.5-3GB is use by /system, /cache, other file systems and formatting loss.
I see. I'm down to about 11 usable then including app storage.
Hello I have a new Huawei Inspira (H867g) The storage listed on the website i bought it from said it had more storage than the phone says..
So DiskUsage says my apps take up 392mb of space all together. This includes the apps i have downloaded and the factory apps such as calendar, bluetooth services, androidhwext, com.qualcomm.privinit and all kinds of tiny things like that.
And Disk Usage says System data uses 123mb
So I go to Settings in my phone, tap on Storage, and it says
Internal Storage:
Total Space: 2.71gb
Available: 1.76gb, 115mb for applications only.
Why only 115mb for applications while there is 1.76gb available???
Is there ANY way to make that 1.76 available for Applications??
Also, When I get down to about 80mb free space left for apps, it says insufficient space available even when downloading apps as small as 5mbs or so.
It is all quite frustrating and stupid...
If there isn't a way to fix these issues and get much space, is there a way to make the MicroSD card perform as internal storage so I can have more storage and download more apps? I saw a video for that on youtube, for android tablets only (rooted) I believe..
I would appreciate ANY info and advice thank you.
