memory problem???? 10gig in use? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

i just bought a galaxy tab 10.1v
i have some small apps installed and one game (stupid zombies) and google body and when i check my installed apps it says i have 10gb in use and only 4 gb free? is this of the entire 16gb?
is this normal or something my fault?

Go to the "Storage" tab in settings. it will tell what is using all of the space.

It says 9.9 gb in use of programs?

Try using Settings->Applications->Storage Use. That will show you which applications are using how much storage. It looks like the preloaded Dungeon Defenders uses a whopping 631MB. My next biggest app is Fruit Ninja THD (which totally surprised me) at 27.5MB.

Ok i will try but dungeon defenders isnt pre installed on mine?

I would try a factory reset, and check again. Something is definitely not right.

I already tried it yesterday and the same day it saying 9.9gb in use

There is not a "Total In Use" field in the Storage view of the Settings app.
The fields are "Total Space", "Available" and one field for each application.
What are these fields in your case?

9.9 in Use and 4.2 free

You are not looking to the Storage view in the Settings app. Where are you getting these values from?
Please, go to the Storage view in the Settings app for real and report what you see there.

I find my values with
Menu
Settings
Apps
Memory use
Do i have to look somewhere else?

Yes, go to Settings->Storage

Ok found it
Total 14,12gb
Media 23,12 mb
Applications 10,02 gb
Available 4,08gb
And i have no games installed

OK, now that we know that some apps are consuming the 10GB, go where you went before (Settings->Applications->Storage Use), select All applications and, one by one, check the Total Storage field for each application in the list.

My mistake, I thought it was pre-installed, but I don't really remember - my initial startup was a blur because I botched the initial link to my google account and then when I went back to connect to Google it didn't feel compelled to download any of my account's apps and so I spent an hour or so manually installing a bunch of stuff that I don't remember.

the biggest is the original gallery app and it is 30MB

Try to uninstall Google Body, I read somewhere that caused this issue.

i uninstalled it yesterday but the issue is still the same?

I don't know, probably this is the same issue.

[DISCUSS] Software update available

Was randomly checking if there was any updates available and indeed there was. It downloaded a 10mb file and flashed it automatically.
Not sure what the update did though, anyone have any ideas?

When you say 'flashed it' did this wipe all settings back to factory?
Don't think it killed any settings.

Nope, it didn't wipe anything. It just messed up my custom application arrangement in the app draw, but that's nothing too bad.
the only thing I noticed so far is that it added BBC iPlayer... only for UK users though.
I haven't noticed no difference! No BBC iPlayer app either (am UK Based).
Would be good if they can get the current games out working with the hard keys. Hate using the virtual joypad etc..
My bad, just noticed I have the BBC iPlayer app after the update.

other than BBC iPlayer, it also improved the Xperia Play app. Before the update when you purchase a game using the Xperia Play app, the game will not be available in the app, you have to exist and open the game in the app drawer, but now it'll automatically be available using just Xperia Play app

Just got every Gameloft game and I can confirm it does add them in the menu yes.

App partition and it is a waste!

Okay so it seems like a wwaste to me since you guys know I probably have the most apps counting at 477 user apps and it seems like a waste that nobody has this many and uses the 2gb I have 500mb left and I could sure use those.
How many apps do you have and space left?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I have about 60 apps that I restore on a new build... anything above that, I consider wasted finger flicks/time.
I dont dont have that many, but I use about 500mb, so I have alot of app space left, and the number of apps I use gets lower and lower each flash lol
Have between 50 and 60. Don't need anymore than that.
I have 102. Restoring is so fun... :/

No issue at all if you have the paid version of Titanium Backup... best purchase everzzzzz
I have 76 apps (less if I uninstall the ones I don't use), with 1.6GB free. Waste of space indeed.
Just have bank of America and MLB 2011. That's it. Oh, root explorer and xda premium. The rest are system apps that are part of malice. 51 total between market apps and system apps.

Stop some heavy apps or clear your ram or reboot the device and try. Make sure u have enough space in internal memory
I was tried your advice and its not working (70 mb empty). And this problem started when I open my phone first time. It can be any problem in my phone?

Try dolphin browser HD. Its better than stock.
70mb free?
thats already loaded,
some apps might have been using the CPU,
get a good kernel like savie's, remove useless apps, get a good app killer, install v6 supercharger,
you can google on how to do those
Thanks!

When did this happen? Play Store, Remove app from list option!

Sweet ! Also for you ladies and gents that don't know they brought it back But looks like it's only from within the device Play Store App, just touch the little circle with the line through it and its gone from your list of apps!
Removed 50 delinquent app's or so from mine!
Sorry if this is recent common knowledge I just was asking awhile ago and was told that this doesn't exist!

No! click that option and it never shows up in your Play Store history again, unless you install it again.
Each time you install an app or install a custom ROM with the ROM creators apps of choice it adds those apps to your play store list of app's! and they don't go away, and if you change ROMs and or try an app your list grows and grows whether you use the app or not it was always there in your list now you can clean those unused apps or unwanted apps out of your list so if you try a lot of ROMs you don't have to weed through all those app's!
I have 12 App's that I install and use, but 50 that I've tried and came on ROMs that I've tried now I have only 12 app's in my Play Store app history instead of 62 apps!
It is a list of apps that you have or had installed, so when you start from a new rom or a full wipe you can go to play store and look at the list to see which app you had installed earlier

Sweet! I already was wondering what to do with the large amount of garbage of previously tested and disgarded apps I would not like to be reminded of again... This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for telling this. +1 Thanks from me!

I know what it is and can be useful for but when I have to look at all the free versions of stuff iv'e tried then purchased the full app for example XDA-Developers free app and XDA Premium oh great now I got to buy XDA PremiumHD.....lol, all in my list but I only want 1, now I do!
I wasn't aware of this functionality until this thread, so thanks! Now I have removed all those 'old' and 'trial' installs cluttering up my installed list!

Duplicate apps

Hey guys. Is this normal for me to have multiple apps?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I haven't seen that before. But they are different versions so it's possible. I'd freeze the older version and see if you run into problems
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
that is *kind-of* normal.
All pre-installed apps are installed in "system/apps" folder and cannot be removed unless rooted. Then all updates are stored in the "data/apps" folder along with all user installed apps. This is done so normal users "not-rooted" can delete all their installed apps and updates to get back "stock".
Most apps that list your installed apps, like titanium backup, or the "system settings > applications" normally take this into account and only show you one version. What-ever crap program you took a screenshot of, obviously does not take that into account and is confusing you. I see "safe2remove" beside many of the items in that screenshot, I do not recogize that application you are using. Just some garbage app as far as I am concerned now.
do not freeze either version
I'm looking at system cleanup
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can delete the older version, but you have to remove the app manually or you'll need to reinstall. Look at the YouTube app in the attached pics. Also, system cleanup is a great app.
