Looking in my Settings>Storage and Applications, I am being told I have 15gb of Apps. This can't be as I only have about 80apps installed.
Anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks.
Reboot and see what happens. Sure its not 15 gigabyte free?

Thanks for the suggestion but it is now 17.22gb used by Applications.
I suspect something is just filling up the space. I have a 32gb Iconia and a 32gb SD card.
After a bit more digging using DiskUsage App, it appears that in the /mnt/sdcard I have 17,779mb of System Data somehow!!
Any help much appreciated.
Something funky for sure, since even if all 16gb were free, it would of course be less than 16gb total. Out of box, the A500 has 12.5gb or so free, but 1gb can not be used due to Honeycomb's sucky memory management.
When I received my refurbished attic they didn't include the sd card so I was wondering if there was a way to forgo having one but still flash rom's sideload and all that good rubbish.

the atrix does not come with a sd card. it has 16gb built in storage memory, so just install applications and download things as you would and u shouldn't be running out of space anytime soon.
Go into best buy, spend 9.99 and get a micro sd card.
Indeed the phone has 16 gigs of internal storage....what do you think this is an Inspire?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy Nexus 4 but I'm afraid that 16 GB won't be enough for me. So I wanna know exactly how much available space does the 16 GB version have?
Thanks in advance
Guessing around 13 like most devices
I want it exactly
It's kind of hard to know exactly without checking the storage right when you receive the device, but I think roughavoc's estimate is pretty spot on. It might be a little less than 13 depending on apps. For example, my Samsung Vibrant is 16GB running JB, but it has 1.25GB for app space, and 12.76GB for USB storage (general purpose like music and videos).
12.92 GB. Exactly

Not enough for me
I did not paid attention when people started to complain about the low memory matter and ended up buying a 16GB i9500, now that I know what's the problem is there an alternative for this? what do you recommend ?
Get a micro sd card and u r good to go

Like what Saad2687 said. My advise dont get scandisk though. I have samsung 32 gig class 10 and its amazing.
Yes I got a 32GB Samsung, but the thing is with the installations and all the bloat, is there something I can do? With my S3 I used aroma debloater it was awesome it left my phone free of non useful stuff.
Brother i am infact using sandisk 32gb class 10 micro sd from past 20 days and its great no problems at all.

Use onboard storage only for apps and move media (photos, songs, videos) and documents onto SD card. But dont cheap out to buy any no name or cheap class 4 card. Class 10 is a must.
Root ya phone and grab titanium backup. You can uninstall about 900mb of crap such as eye scrolling etc...

As the others said, get a SD card. Also VERY helpful is Folder Mount as it lets you remap the /sdcard/Android folder from the internal memory to the external SD card which gets around the problem that most apps want to store everything inside those folders or directly in /sdcard.

Thanks I'll give it a try. that's what I was looking for.
Got myself a 64gb Samsung pro microsd and moved all my images/videos/music.
I only use my internal storage for apps.

By the way, be sure to read the guide on what is safe to uninstall before you go ahead.

32 GB external SD Card
Move anything that isn't apps (music, movies, any extra files) onto the external SD card. Get at least a 32gb and you should be golden.
Save to the SD instead internal memory

get another 16/32 Gig card, that should suffice.
i am suing sandisk 16 gig for the past 1 year and no issues till now, and most of the times its a life saver as i keep everything in my sd card (music pic etc)...
My setup which 16gb users might like.
My phone is 16gb
My sdcard is 32gb
But thays not enough space so i added an extra 64gb via usb
The method to mount usb is OTG in a modified case.
(*please note just use the usb when you need it as it obviously drains battery faster)
Here is a image of modified case

Use foldermount to switch game data to my 64 gb class 10 sd card.

This didn't work for me.
/sdcard is a link to /storage/emulated/0
that's internal mounted fuse
/storage/extSdCard is real sdcard mounted normally.
It's 4.2s storage problem
in previous versions it was as.simple.as editing fstab.

I don't really put a lot of stuff on my phone as I have a separate mp3 player on me at all times, so the space taken up by bloat wasn't really a problem. I already had a 32GB card on me though so I slapped that in.
Hi all - not sure if I'm installing or not deleting old information correctly but I anytime I put a simple rom, my 32 SDcard only has 24 available gigs of storage.
Am I installing something wrong or do you lose 8 gig right out of the gate? That seems like more than I'd expect.
I've googled for an answer but it's a weird issue - any help is appreciated - thanks!!
Im guessing you are talking about the phone version with 32gb internal storage? If so, I also have 24.8gb available space. I'm guessing the rest is reserved for android etc itself.

Yeah - I guess it takes 8 gig for firmware/OS - didn't think it'd be that much. Thanks.
