My Tab 4 has been running fine for years.
Now when I try to add an App the Install responds with "insufficient storage"
I have 500mb free !!
Also my SD card (64g with 40g free) seems to be Read Only and cannot delete things like movies.
Yet if I attach my Tab 4 to my computer, with Windows Explorer I can delete any file.
An associate message talks about with KitKat 4.4 a change in security... Yet I am on 4.3
any ideas?
Regards,
Frank
I had a similar problem not to long ago trying to download a app and found out that some apps have additional files it has to download too.

anyone have the same problem?
Is it rooted with a rom?

only rooted (original rom)
I had the same problem: the task manager was showing personal data at 80 out of 81MB. When I cleared the data for the web browser it dropped to using 7MB.
Clearing cache in the browser didn't help, I had to clear data for the app.
Of course that wasn't the first app I tried clearing data, but it was definitely the browser that was hogging the storage.

Did you by any chance used the One-Click-Lag-Fix? That shaves about 1GB from your 1.8GB app storage. I had same issue until I uninstalled the LagFix.
Also, you can use MoveToSD app to move all your apps to SD, that saved me about 400MB of space. Note: When you are moving Apps to SD, the ignore the size difference, it still moves the data to SD. You can check your storage size after moving a whole bunch of apps.
If you got root get the android terminal emulator then you su
#pm setInstallLocation 2
#reboot
that should move most of you app to sd. or you will have to manually do it but that should help.

I gave this a go, but it didn't move any apps from "Device Memory" to the "USB Storage".
If there are 3 devices, does the numbering work like this:
0=galaxy tab's internal memory "Device Memory"
1=galaxy tab internal SD card "USB Storage"
2=user-insertable/external microSD card "SD Card"
???
Answering my own question:
1=galaxy tab's internal memory "Device Memory"
2=user-insertable/external microSD card "SD Card"
0="[auto] Let system decide the best location"
...but I wouldn't bother setting it to 2, because it prevents some important applications (like Google Maps) from updating: "Application cannot be installed in the default installation location android"
I am successfully using v3 but have two questions. First, my NC "Storage" indicates that total internal storage space is 0.92gb and available is 812mb. Did I do something wrong; I thought I had 8gb internally. Second, what version of OC do I use: SD or emmc? Third, certain free apps don't show in market, such as Amazon. Any ideas how I get the this and others that don't show? TIA.
*bump*
Mine also shows .92GB avail and 800mb or so free. Any luck?
same for me...
There are several partitions in the 8gb internal storage.
Right now some of them can not be read by android. That's why only about 1gb space shows in android.
You can mount and storage any files in the partitions through a PC by installing an app, though android can't read that, as I mentioned above.
Some apps whixh, can not be found in the market, you ca try the app name market enabler. Or you can download the apk installation file from internet, and install it by any file manager

HI, first of all thank you for a great forum that i have visited a lot of times the last 5 years.
I have one major problem with my samsung galaxy note. I can't run gallery because then i get 'not enough memory, Delete some items'.
If I start camera and then click on one image gallery starts without any problems.
Storage on my note:
SD Card: Available 11,40 GB
USB storage: 0
System memory: 1,47 GB
Please tell me how to fix this. I have tried a few memory optimizer apps from the marked but nothing...
Regards
Noeinstein
After 2-3 days of experimenting and studying loads of internet posts I finally managed to solve this problem:
Your Gallery needs space on ur internal SD-Card to work, even if you store all ur videos and photos on the external SD-Card. And as you posted there is 0 kB Space on your USB-Storage and thats the point.
Go to Menu - Own Files and find the largest Files and Folders. Now you have to find out, which Files may be deleted. For example I deleted Game Folders that took up to 0.5 GB and also deleted some old BackUp Files of CWM.
Be careful with this deleting and watch out not to delete any system relevant files!
I did not deleted them but moved them to my external SD-Card so I could move them back if my Android would be messed up afterwards.
I hope this helped you and others!
as said it more than likely because you have no free space on your internal memory, free some up and im sure it will start working
Hi everyone,
I have issued the same problem newly on these days with my SGN. But on the contrary, when I look at my storage levels:
Storage Name: Used / Total
System storage: 0.92GB / 1.97GB
USB storage: 1.42GB/11.07GB
SD card: 8.00GB/14.89GB
I'm using Android version 4.1.2 with N7000XLSA Baseband and the device is rooted. I have deleted some files to free up more space in internal SD (which is denoted as sdcard0 in JB) but it seems that it didnt work out, because the problem continues. Am I doing smthg wrong or is there another solution or workaround for this?
Regards,
Same problem here
I have same problem. Almost same memory usage. I mean lots of megabytes exist on every unit (phone, phone sd, ex t sd)
But cannot open gallery, s note, etc with same "not enough memory" message.
N7000/4.0.4
Just clear cache from in gallery app from settings>application and reboot. Also you need some minimum space in your internal sd storage. Also do not install unnecessary apps. Try to uninstall the apps that you don't use. Some apps tend to use more ram & storage.
Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?
in my S4
whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.
Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks
Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.

Got the same Issue - can send Images and theyll get stored on SD via Foldermount, but when i receive images, just got the blurry thumbnail and after i downloaded the image i got that "Media is not found on the SD card" issue.
Anyone knows what i did wrong?
Hello folks.
I've been deleting files form SD card, using MTP. Deletion works without error, files are not shown any more.
However: The SD-card does not show any more free space as before the deletion.
Any suggestions?

Hello folks.
I'm wondering if my question is not clear.
I have 30MB left on my SD, even though I did delete a bunch of stuff.
I really could use a hint - would like to copy some new content to it, once I get more "free" space...
Well, how have things turned out?
You know about the extra restrictions regarding external storage added in Android 6. You can barely use the SD card as it is, let alone have Windows do things to it.
Have you tried checking the storage with a file manager? ES File Explorer and X-plore could be granted some sort of write permission - see if the files are still there and delete them through your phone - although those two have a recycle bin option, make sure you uncheck it first.
And start using Temasek's custom ROM in the first place. If you're using the SD card as much as I do, that's the only reasonable option when it comes to Android 6.
