Hi,
I just had new phone delivered the 32GB Prime version and it complains it has insufficient storage space after installing only a small handful of apps... (no games) it says it only has 111mb free of 32GB storage but the total "internal storage" only shows as 1.5GB...
Mi Verification app webpage shows it as the RedMi Note 2, where it shows the correct IMEI#, LTE Device Model and N/A for Purchased on and N/A Warranty..
The Mi security logo on the box looks like the legit version shown in the guides (has x's in the mi logo)
Is this a counterfeit or just very small app storage??
I ran Antutu 5.7.1 64bit and the device got 48,304 which I installed from play store myself and the demos seem to be very fluid at 27fps... I don't understand it's like the phone is has real CPU but someone forgot to put the storage in? :S
If Mi Verification says it's original, then 99% it is.
I would suggest installing the latest multi ROM on it, and doing a full wipe.
Perhaps the storage has been corrupted somehow? Or not partitioned properly? If you're going down the TWRP/custom ROM route, maybe you can check TWRP's partition tool.
I had the same problem. Just reboot your phone and check internal storage should be shown correct.

I found out, to sweet relief, that I have the 16GB model
When you restart the tablet, cyanoboot lists the specs at the top left corner.
You will notice that the 16GB model shows up as having 5.3GBs in the storage menu. This is false. What's really happened is that you have a 7.5GB partition with free space. If you wish to reclaim this space, you must repartition your nook (a risky process). If you want to use that space without risking bricking, you can simply copy over your files and documents to that partition easily using the file manager. Hope that helps.

Hi everyone, I recently won a bid on Ebay and bought a Nook Tablet for $50, with free shipping.
I successfully flashed CM10 blah blah...and when I go into Settings > Device > Storage, it lists the following:
Total space: 5.50GB
Available 5.31GB
... blah blah ...
... blah blah ...
... blah blah ...
Internal storage
--------------------
Total space: 7.45GB
Now, it seems to me that this tablet is the 8GB model. The seller stated the item was 16GB...
(I backed up the stock ROM already, in case I needed to return the item should it not be as described).
I want to know what amount of space those of you running the 16GB model have in that menu.
Is there a way to confirm if my tablet really is the 16GB model or 8GB model? (Note: I didn't even bother to register on the official nook ROM from fear of updating it to a un-hackable ROM, so I don't know what model I have unless I reflash the stock ROM and register!) Is it possible that there could be unallocated space that CM isn't finding?
If it really is the 8GB model, I can contact the seller (who offers free return shipping) and get a replacement.
Please help!
I believe that's its the 8 if the system states that I believe its true.

Damn! I waited a week for this thing to come! Now I have to spend another week getting a replacement!
Alright, I'd like to hear from a person who has the 16GB model and see how much space s/he has before shipping this back...
Le sigh...
UPDATE! Question answered!!!
So, when I rebooted the tablet again, I saw cyanoboot say this model was the 1GB/16GB model at the top.
It is indeed the 16GB model!
I opened up the terminal app and also checked some things in the file manager...
Output of "df" (the marked stat I believe to be the unallocated space):
imgbin (dot) org/images/14562.png
(I can't post image links yet because I'm a noob)
Now, I forgot to post this earlier, but I see on the bottom that there is ANOTHER storage tab which states:
Internal storage (representation of the bar. Plus signs mean a gray strip):
|+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Total space: 7.45GB
Available: 7.45GB
Furthermore, I opened up the file manager. After doing so, I am presented with the location "sdcard0" which contains folders such as B&N Downloads, LOST.dir, and My Files. These seem to be present from the previous stock Nook firmware. I seem to have not thoroughly reset/format the tablet...
Could someone tell me how I would go about reclaiming the space? If required, I can reflash it easily.
Great you the model figured it out! Easiest way to check (because many get confused with the storage numbers and don't realize there are more than one partition) is to look at the model number in faint lettering under the speaker (at the back). The 8GB is 250A and the 16GB is 250.
What space do you need to reclaime? The 7.45 is there for you to use freely. 5GB is for apps and approx 3GB is for OS. If you want to change partition sizes you need to repartition. seacrch for that and you shall find, but quite frankly, I think the current partitions are fine sinec you can always use sd card.
really, thats my question too, how to repartition the emmc? searched the forum but couldn't find a tutorial. it seems only way to do that is open up the tablet, take the emmc out and repartition it the hard way can you help me with a more suitable solution?

Putting "repartition nook tablet" into Google gave me (as no.3 on the list of results) a "how to video" that is an illustration of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531120
But honestly, you'll just gain a couple of GB to the 8 you already have. You probably want to keep around 2-3 GB for the user data and that leaves 12-13GB for "media". You already have 8GB and the option to use an sd card. Is it worth the bother if you're not that into this stuff?

I agree with you. It is best to leave it alone. 5.3GBs is plentyyy of space for apps. I am actually only using 200MB of space for apps right now and I have Firefox and a FTP server app. Besides, I can use the 7.5GBs of space as a data partition, I can, for example, copy over my music and PDF files to that partition.
I also have a 16GB microsd card also in the nook tablet, so I am not in dire need of space anyways lol XD
I shall mark this thread solved

This proibably means yours hasn't been through the BN reparttition scheme. If you've got a BN store nearby they can repartition it for you to the 5 GB Data and 8GB Media or whatever it's called (where you store your own stuff). If you (like me) don't have the option to do that you can run the repart.img dexcribed in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 yourself to get those partitions. Topic doesn't say it's for repartition, but the repart.img sure does that!
Edit: Or maybe I misunderstand you. Maybe you have a device that has been repartitioned "manually", giving you 11GB for your own storage? Cause I donät recognize the number 11. In that case you do NOT want to do any more repartitioning!!
Hi, I haven't been able to download or update my apps from Google Play Store for quite some time now, due to the following error: 'Not enough space on device'. I do have enough space on both internal memory as on the SD card.
I'm the (proud) owner of a Xiaomi Redrice (model HM1W)
Android version 4.2.2 HM2013023
MIUI version MIUI-JHBCNAH4.0
I don't know what other information you guys might need.
I really hope you guys can help!
could you be little specific

how much space is exactly there in your internal memory?
Hi Guys!
Just wanted to get this straight once and for all from you, the experts.
I have bought this cheapo Chinese device (yeah, I know...)
The guy selling it swore on his life that the device had 12gb of storage for app installation.
I didn't quite believe that so I asked him to send me a benchmark screenshot to see what was the storage situation and he sent me this:
i.imgur.com/KAyugUv.jpg
So as it says, while it has 12.5 GB of "Internal Storage", it only has 0.68 GB available of System Storage...
And my understanding is that, lots of apps simply Won't install anywhere else besides the System Storage, and even if you can Move the app to the internal storage, it will Still take up some space on the system storage...
Am I understanding this correctly?
If that is so then, does that mean that after my apps use up that measly 680 MB of space on the device I am "SOL" and I won't be able to install anything else on the device??
Thanks for the help!

You can set the setting to directly install to Internal Storage

This unit has android 4.4.4
Could you post a walkthrough on how to do that so that no apps take space under System Storage?

look ..if he means by system storage (the size of the ROM that will be installed) that mean you have 12 GB for your apps and that what i think it means(no android system can take 12gb !!)......and for moving your apps....you can try towelroot to root your device and install any app that can help you moving your apps....or try to go to settings>>apps>>and press the menu button and see if there is a option called...preferred installation bath or something like that>>>set it to removable sd card

I found this on another page:
"System Storage" is where the OS and the System Applications are installed. This could also be considered where the User application are installed (based on your question). User installed applications are installed in /data/apps, settings and app data is stored in /data/data, and then application cache data is stored in /cache. These are all part of the "System Storage".
Internal Storage is an area that is used like an sdcard. As far as the Android OS is concerned, it is an sdcard. Some applications may save data to it, but it is mainly used as direct storage for your stuff. Like pictures taken with the camera, music, ringtones, things like that.
You cannot just adjust the size of system memory. Is it technically possible, yes. But doing so could require you to have knowledge of linux tool, rooting, custom roms, recoveries, and even possibly having to compile your own linux kernel and ROM or other information that I am not thinking of at the moment. Which is well beyond the scope of this site.

So that basically means is that all apps by default will install themselves or lots of info about them on the 1gb System Storage... And that translates to running out of space almost instantly if I start installing apps...
Perhaps the Root option could help alleviate some of this space constriction by forcing all apps to install in the Internal storage and leave the System storage completely alone?

Hey everyone
Here's what's happening ... I have an Samsung Galaxy SM-J500FN 2015 model phone,
a while ago I rooted it (back then it was under Android v5) ... I wanted to tweak some settings but I did something terrible, I played with KNOX.
Apparently KNOX and root don't go well together, my phone wouldn't boot anymore (rebooting loop).
Anyway, it was nothing, I just used Odin and a fresh new Official ROM (Android Marshmallow v6.0.1) and my phone was working again.
But now I discovered something, my phone is supposed to have an Internal Storage of 8GB, and that's the amount my memory settings show, but something was wrong with that, so I searched and after some time I understood that even though it said 8GB, my true storage was 4GB.
(More exactly I had 8GB but 4GB were constantly full, not even used by the system).
After a day I understood what might have happened :
My older ROM that has crashed wasn't erased when I flashed the new ROM, so now half of my Internal Storage is occupied by default meaning that I have two partitions on my phone (similar to when you install Windows and Linux on one PC).
But I cannot find any way to erase/reset my phone totally to get back those 4GB of memory.
If you have some applications, tricks, advice of some sort that could help me, I would really appreciate
Thank you for your time.

Hi, how are you sir.
Ok, first thing you should know, that if your phone is labeled as an 8GB phone then you will only get 4GB no matter what you do, now there is no way that there are 2 roms on one system partition, what may be taking the space could be old data from the old rom like in /android folder and could possibly also be media files from apps that was installed in previous rom like Facebook photos, WhatsApp videos, pics, and voice messages...etc, installing stock rom with Odin doesn't erase any files, but it completely replaces the rom in system partition with new rom.
Okay I see, thank you.
But still, I've explored that 'Android' folder a few times, checked photos, documents, everything ...
Now what I don't really understand is this :
You will only get 4GB no matter what you do

Why is that ? Isn't there a way to access this memory ?
BTW : I didn't flash with Rooted Stock ROM, I used an Official Android 6.0.1 ROM from Samsung's Website
EDIT : My phone when started in Recovery Mode first says "No Command" with the Android Red Error logo, then opens the recovery mode like there never was no error involved ... That's one the things that made me say that my phone definitely had some issues with my older ROM.

the reason why you will get 4 only is because the 8GB includes system partition, data partition, cache, preload (if there is one) in addition to the space taken from the formatting, it's pretty much the same like when you buy a 8GB sdcard and you get only about 7.3GB, or when you buy a 16GB phone and you only have 11.5GB for media (my case..), or when you buy a 32GB phone and you find about 8GB already taken from the phone and you get to use about 23GB for media files (my dad's case and you'll notice that in any other 32GB phone), that's what i meant, you also can check any 8GB phone and you will find that he only has 4GB for media...i hope i explained it in an easy way.
in my case i have an s2 with 16GB
i only have 11.5GB for media, and there is 512mb system partition and 512mb preload, and 2GB data partition, and small cache partition.., so that makes it about 14.5GB in total, the missing 1.5GB is due to formatting as far as i know, same as the sdcards thing i said earlier..
p.s: those partitions are unaccessible by default, they are hidden from the user, only way to access them is by rooting the phone and using a root explorer.
Yes I knew about that, but I never knew it took so much place
Thank you for your answer, I guess my phone is totally normal
I am using Samsung Galaxy A87 2016, not rooted. I even installed an SD card but my phone does not allow it to be moved to sd card storage. My main problem is my internal storage is not full but saying it is. I'll post screenshots of every detail of my phone. I bought my phone on June 2017 and I saw that it didnt have any GAPPS except gmail which I dismissed and when I first installed apps it seemed to be fine but after some apps ( its not even alot) it started saying insufficient storage on google play store when I try to download
How do I post screenshots?
