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.
What service/provider of cloud type storage do most people here use? Any good recommendations?

Personally I use Google Drive + Google Music for my tunes. Frankly the integration makes it a no brainer to me. That isn't to say it would be best for everyone but for my uses it's perfect. However most people will tell you to sign up for all of them and use them all then pick one. After all you can never have too much free cloud storage. And that will allow you to try them before you go Premium, if in fact that is something you were considering. I know Dropbox is great too. Cubby invites were all the rage here lately but I have never tried it. There's a thread. It would probably help you get better recommendations if you told us what you plan on using the service for.
i use Dropbox.. got over 100+Gigs because i have a GS3 + One X and a few other reasons.. i also use Google Drive + Google Music and all other Google cloud features
New accounts only get 2GB of space tho
currently i use google drive and dropbox. i think the free space on those services will increase in the future because there is a lot of competition
Google Drive
Dropbox
Amazon Cloud
I use them all, but 4share is my preferred one.

I have Dropbox (4GB), Ubuntu 1(5GB), Google Storage for Developers (100GB) and Skydrive(25GB).
I know that's a lot of them, so I use SMEStorage to manage 'em together, well except for Dropbox and Ubuntu1

This :good:
Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, SkyDrive ......
It depends what you need, for pure file storage dropbox or google drive are probably the best.
If you are looking to stream media from a cloud then I am not sure what is best here. Anyone have any suggestions for streaming media (files that I own already rather than other options)
i use:
dropbox
skydrive
box
sugarsync
cubby
google drive/gmail
they're unique in their own way, but generally similar; free with paid extras. i have about 115GB+ of free online storage, so no need for any paid versions. i suggest try a few out and see which service suits your needs best.
I use Wuala. I think it's reasonably priced and there's a bonus that everything's encrypted!
Thanks everyone! What I would like to do is stream home pictures and videos. Any of these good for this?

I like the idea of my data being on my own systems. As a result, I set up ownCloud on my Linux server in my basement (tho I believe a Windows variant exists). With the help of DDNS which provides me with a URL, along with some port forwarding, I basically have my own web address I can access from anywhere and log in to my ownCloud server. You are limited only by your hard drive space. I'm currently rockin a 300GB personal cloud server. I'll be looking at 6TB once I get my new drives in for the RAID 5 array I plan to set up.
On the same server I also have Subsonic running. I paid the couple bucks donation fee (10 to 15 or so) to unlock the full mobile license with the mobile app for Android, iOS, etc. There again, using my DDNS URL I tied Subsonic's Android app into my server at home. I can now stream all of my media straight from my box at home.
In short:
For music and media - Subsonic
For everything else - ownCloud
The future plan: 6TB for personal cloud usage for music, pictures, videos, documents? Oh yes. :good: Even my current 300GB setup is significantly more than I would get with any free service elsewhere. I'll take it.
total win.
Another mod for subsonic for your own cloud media server.

I'm quite fond of Ubuntu One myself. I use it for auto-uploads of my pictures on my phone. Since Ubuntu is on all of my systems, once I fire up my laptop, desktop, whatever it auto syncs locally. Of course, Dropbox does this too, but U1 also gives me 5GB to boot. I assume Dropbox is still @ 2GB for starters?
I use Dropbox, Google Drive, Sugarsync, Ubuntu 1, Amazon MP3 and Google Play Music. All serve a purpose and all get used. 16GB is not enough. Cloud storage is critical for me. Ubuntu 1, Dropbox and Play Music are the best imo.

The Nexus 7 had something like 5.92GB of usable storage. I'd expect the same out of the Nexus 4.
Actual Usable Storage
Hi Guys,
I put together a list of the actual usable internal storage of different phones so that we can compare and see which one has how much. This can be found on:
http://icethreads.com/actual-usable-storage-of-mobile-phones/
Let me know if you found it useful!

No unfortunately it does not. Storage size is 16gb or 32gb. But with Cloud storage available today, its very managable... for me

No it does not but you can get it in 32GB at OPPO Style which I think solves that.
Im with corey on the Cloud storage. Instead of keeping photos and videos on your device just back them up to one of the many cloud services, google drive, dropbox, or my favorite box (got 50gb's free from them <3). Then just delete the photos/videos from your device and you will have all the room you want for movies. We also are waiting on OTG enabled in the kernel but it may be sometime for we see that. OTG would pretty much take care of all your memory issues.

only if you have unlimited data (or high limit)
according to oppo, OTG isn't supported hardware-wise at all (so any kernel fixes won't work)

With the Oppo Find 5 32 GB version, I think the cloud will get you through the same as having and SD card, that is my plan anyways there are so many cloud services that are giving out free storage. This is pretty much the best device you can buy for the price that has 32GB of storage built in. With 32 GB built in you can play all your games and apps right from the device. I had the International One X and never filed 32GB up with all my games or apps. That was one of the main attractions for me when purchasing the Oppo Find 5, because on other 16GB devices you cant play games or apps from an SD card, so really a cloud is just as good as an SD card basically, they will both do the same thing.
For some reason Google screwed their system up by not allowing programs such as apps2sd and others that do the same on Gingerbread, at least I still think Gingerbread can do this? I don't see why they did this, other than the fact that they are most likely trying push their cloud service but even with Google Cloud you cant play games or apps. You would think they would want to sell more apps and games from the play store but what happens when you only got 16GB, you can only buy so much to have on your device at once. I' thinking next year or the following year 64GB and 128GB are going to be standard with new devices having it built in 64GB and 128GB, yeah that would be really nice 128GB onboard, no SD card crap to mess with.
Does it have a removable battery?

I don't mind the design as long as we start getting 32gb base and phones that last >12 hrs with 3 hours screen on time.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.

With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.
Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.
