question about memory? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

my 8.9 tab has 16 GB total. i heard that the 8.9 only allow 1 GB for installed apps which is shared with the RAM memory. is that true? or you can install as much apps as you want all the way up to 16 GB (which in actual 12 GB)?
also how do i find out how much memory is all my total install apps? i went into my installed apps and at the bottom it stated i have used 780 MB so far out of 12 GB. but my question, how do i find out of 780 are installed apps, and how much are user data such as music, photo, videos etc.?

Memory allocation

from the HTC specification we have in our Diamond's 198 RAM, but available is only ~115 MB. I assume that 64 MB is used by graphic card and another few MB is used bu gps, gsensor, phone, etc
My question is why is needed 64 MB allocated all the time for graphic card? Why its not used dinamically allocation? And what the hell is doing the graphic card with 64 MB? My laptop with extended screen and with 1040x1050 resolution is using only 16 MB of RAM (shared memory)
Why not allocate by default 16 MB to graphic card and free some RAM to be used in application? - especially that there are no application to use the HW acceleration? This is mine only dissapointed - all the time i don't have enough RAM (IGO 8 + Opera and RAM its 100% used)- and that-s why i bought it -to have it enough
Has it occured to you that your premise of the graphic's card using 64MB RAM could be wrong? In which case, the rest of your question makes no sense.
I'm not saying it does/doesn't but it sounds like you've just guessed and then posed a question based on a potentially flawed fact!

maybe soon will be program with you can be able to change that.

16 gb enough space?

To those of you who have the 16 gb version and are dual booting webos and android, is the 16 gb of built in memory enough for you? Are you running out of space with apps, pics, music, etc? Might buy one so kinda curious. Then again I do have dropbox and the 50 gb box.net app so I'll probably be good anyways. Thanks in advance.

Should be plenty for dual booting android. Not sure what kind of resources Linux uses
Google Music will be your best friend if you have a large chunk of music. I never was a fan of any of the cloud services only because of the upload limit size, however I did just find this workaround for box.net

Still not sure how much I'll use it since I don't do anything with books/novels and my music is taken care of through google music, and I'm sure that work around mentioned above won't work unless it's multiple files, not one large one, such as a movie.

They will get rid of that work-around at some point.... just saying.
I have the 16gb Touchpad and most of the memory is filled of files from Gameloft and EA games and my titanium backup (don't like dropbox).
The rest is all on google music or Box
I've always felt 16 was plenty. I have all the apps I want in both webOS and ICS, and still have about 8GB free on the storage. I think I have about 1GB free on the system partition (that's where the apps install). But, I don't put on any music or videos. I have Netflix, Pandora, and Google Music, so I stream any content I want.
To me the device is basically a paperweight without a network connection. Like 90% of my use is either YouTube, Netflix, or web browsing. So I dont worry about space.
If you plan on loading it up with music I would think 16 us still plenty. Even though I have over 100 GB of music files, I only really listen to about 2GB consistently on my phone. If you plan on loading movies on it, 16 may be an issue.

Although I'm subscribed to services such as google music and box.net, I store my media files locally as opposed to streaming, so 16gb didn't suffice for me. My thinking is that streaming media files via box.net or google music is a good option if you: 1) stream only over wifi or 2) have an unlimited data plan. Basically unless you're utilizing your phone for wireless tether (on a limited data plan) for the majority of your network consumption, you could conceivably survive with 16gb.
I own the 16GB version, and the space is sufficient for my needs, although in hindsight I would have preferred the 32GB version because I often find myself playing the game of "Do I keep these files, or those files?".

[Q] Can't download Google Play Movie

I'm new to this HP TouchPad/Android thing and would be grateful for some help.
I installed CM 10.2 and it generally seems to be working well. I downloaded Google Play Movies & TV, then tried to rent a movie and download it so I could watch it on an upcoming flight. It will not download, saying that the movie is 400MB and there is not enough room.
The FreeSpace Android App reports the following:
Cache 130 MB
External_sd 11.23 GB
Internal/data 290 MB
Lib 10 MB
System 200 MB
Does Google Play Movies & TV try to put the file in the Internal/data partition? If so, should I consider using Tailor to repartition and move some space from SD to Internal/data? Any thoughts on how to do this, if that's the fix?
Thanks...
Yes I had exactly the same problem but with the music (as I pay for the monthly music streaming service).
As I use it on my phone more, I'm not that bothered, but I thought this whole Data/Media partition thing meant we were supposed to have tiny data partitions now, which seems to be causing all the problems. I can repartition in tailor (I understand that totally), but is that the right thing to do. Think I have a 600MB Data with 28GB Media.
I'm using the CM 10.2 nightlies from not too long ago.

You've got the wrong way round it should be 28g data and 600mb but I would use one of the resize zips and would leave at least a few gigs for media and and a couple less for data please have a read of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671582 .
Have fun .

Real space of 128 GB

What is the real total space the 128 GB version? Also, how much space do you have available after you turn on the device?
It's 118GB I thinks (without apps / 3rd apps)
I still have 105GB available with 10GB apps + data and 10GB system storage

Increase storage beyong 128 GB

Hi everyone!
If you have 128gb storage and you run out of space how do you save your files, media etc?
What are your ideas?
512 is too expensive and comes with fan that I don't need.
Thanks in advance
Use OTG smart connections
Cloud storage
I got a crapload of apps and over 30GB of media files and still a lot of room left on my 128GB, maybe uninstall some unneeded apps?
