[Q] Low on Space 'Tablet storage space is getting low

I got my transformer on Monday and having syned it with my google account all is well.
However yesterday I was presented with the message "Low on Space Tablet storage space is getting low"
When checking the settings I am told that I have used 12.8gb for apps!!!
This is not possible. Looking at the xoom forums I can see other users are having the same issues
Any Ideas?

Hi,
More like a suggestion, can you install an app like DiskUsage from the Android market? See what that tells you?
rio

I don't think the Xoom users who had this problem found any resolution except a factory reset.

No I could not install any apps - even after removing a bunch of them.

Thanks I had seen the threads but not read them.
I have since done a full wipe (factory restore) and it has fixed the issue.
In a way this was not too much of a problem as I am getting my transformer replaced because one of the sides where the back meets the metal edge, the back is too thin (pressed in too much) so the metal edge is sharp to touch

On the Android phones you can go into application settings and see (and clear) the memory they use - sounds like an app just filled it up with something? This could be a worry if its one of Asus'es standard apps.

Eeek indeed, but wouldn't they all be made in the same way? ie, all of the pads are lethal instruments?

Don't mean to thread jack, but how much of the internal storage is available for App Installs?

I read somewhere that approximately 14GB is free?

Yes it is about 14gb.
System showing 635mb used 13gb free at the moment

It would appear that Honeycomb is quite different to previous versions of Android, and the remaining 14gb or so is available for apps/data/media whatever.
I guess this is why they don't have a USB storage mode any more, and MTP is used.

Had the same problem today. Tried to uninstall some apps to see if one of them went "crazy" but didn't solve the problem and...I cannot install other apps. I think I'll have no other choice but reset :-(

Since the reset, I haven't had any problems - if that helps.

This seems to be a honeycomb issue as the Xoom just received an update that fixes the "Application storage errors will not appear unless the device has reached maximum storage capacity." issue.
Maybe ASUS has added the same fix in tomorrows update?

It did it again....
I performed a reset like 2 weeks ago...everything was fine but now again "Low on space". Damn!
I really have to root and then make a backup so if this boring thing happens again at least I'll use the backup. Now what should I do? Reset again, configure everything again, download apps and then after a week maybe do it again?
I also noticed that this happens after some FC with the browser, so happened last time so happened this time.

just noticed this on my transformer too, any solutions except factory reset? i also did the may 13 update but that did not help. i hope asus will push a fix for this soon.

The "low storage" problem happened for me a couple of days ago. I did a factory reset and it went away...for now. Hopefully it won't come up any time soon.
I think Xoom owners are experiencing this problem too. Maybe the next Honeycomb update will fix this problem for all of us.

been having browser fatal crashes all day and I just got this error as well. Any suggestions besides a factory reset?
16gb bone stock transformer.

Well, after trying to access my saved game files and such with no luck I did a factory reset. For some reason before the reset, alot of the info wasnt available in astro file manager or through windows explorer when hooked up to my pc. After the reset, I was able to browse all the files and everything was visible. Not much info available for this problem yet.

[Q] Brightness Reduced due to overheating!!!

I am very desperate here in regards to one issue that I have. My phone keeps reducing the brightness on the screen due to overheating. My phone is not even hot. The problem is that I can't even go back to full brightness. I have to wait for a while to do that. But then, I work a little with the phone and BAM does it again. Are you guys having the same issue that I am having?. I have the phone to maximum brightness with auto brightness off. I asked on different forums and no answer as of yet. I already exchanged the phone and I am still having the same issues with my second phone.

Replied as well in the other post.
Are you running widgetlocker? That seems to overheat the phones by running the cpu into the ground

No sir. Not running widgetlocked. Funny thing i just watched an entire movie that i purchased through the media hub and the brightness was never an issue. But here I am surfing and checking youtube clips and it happended again.

My god. It keeps doing it. I cant believe nobody has the same issue I have. 2nd phone and as soon as Frys has more in stock I will be getting my third. I love this phone and I will not give up until I have a working one. But if anyone knows of how to fix this issue please let me know. Thank you so much.

I had the same problem. Backed up all my data and did a factory reset. I'm not sure what app it was but I've heard widgetsoid & widget locker are the ones that cause the processor to constantly run at full power making the phone overheat. After my restore my phone was back to normal.

Well i just finished with the factory reset and as soon as I was setting my market account and downloading apps it did again for a few seconds maybe 5 sec. and then everything went back to normal. I am going to keep working on it and hopefully the issue will be fix. But the fact that it did it while downloading my fist app after a factory reset makes me wonder. But thanks man for answer me. Thank you. I will keep you guys posted.

Don't restore any apps yet or downliad anything. Just use it regular stock for a few hours and see if it heats up. If not its a buggy app using all of your resources.

I only have this happen while having my infuse mounted on the dash while driving. it happens when the phone is charging, screen cranked up all the way, using google navigation turn by turn, has bluetooth on, and is streaming music from google music. Haven't had it happen during normal use at home. The phone mounted on the dash doesn't help with the heat since it's being hit by such strong heat from the sun. I'm also using the barely there case by case mate and it is always pretty cool to the touch with brightness all the way up and wifi on. Don't know If that helps. I'm loving my phone though.

Man, this is crazy. Still haven't fix the issue with the brightness and now I have an issues with flash content on my browser. For flash the video plays fine but the sound is playing like in slow motion. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash and still have the same issues. I starting to think that I have a lemon for a phone. 5 days and still Fry's has the phone out of stock. I need the return it for a third and hopefully last time. Oh by the way, I still have issues with the brightness.

Same issues on my phone, maybe it happens to all of them..

screen just went wack again. this time i found out what caused it.

A app called phone tester. It has a Multi touch tester and it for some reason caused my screen to do the weird thing and not want to do the carousel.
So maybe peoples issue is this app? Or maybe other multitouch apps? Worth a shot just thought id let you know...
Edit: removed app still doing it. But happened right after that. Could it be a memory leak ? Cause it seemed to happen the same time frame of owning. It.
Or the MT app memory is in the dalvik cache that a hard reset might not delete? Hmmmm
Edit 2: ok seems after a few minutes of use it works fine again. Then if I shut screen off and back on it bugs out again. Then after a few minutes works itself out again.... Second phone that did this... Has to be something

I had 3 third party apps installed (Skype, Pulse and Speed Test), when i had the touch screen issue for the first time, so i don't think this is caused by apps. I also updated my phone to 1.35 (full wipe) but i still have this issue, so it's starting to look like a hardware issue

One thing everybody with any issues needs to always keep in mind is that if you have any 3rd party apps installed....there could be conflict of some kind. If it does it stock after a factory reset with NOTHING installed....then ya got a problem.
I think some people (not you Smash) on these forums tend forget that very simple thing when they think they have major issues with the Sensation.
Incompatible apps are a much bigger problem then most people think.
This is also VERY true for SD cards as well. It's a pain, but you have to keep these things in mind when you have a problem....

I've got phone tester on mine but its been fine. ZDBox was causing me no end of ****. Random reboots, turning off without knowing, freezing, capacitive buttons at the bottom not working. I nearly sent the phone for repair but as soon as I uninstalled it I don't have any problems at all. Battery seems better too.

[Q] Is this a common problem?

So yesterday I ran onto a problem:
So I downloaded Riptide GP and then I started the race but in the second turn everything just got messy and the game sounds just continued as I could still hear them. I didn't know what it was but today I got a idea that it may be the force GPU rendering, so I turned it off and tried again so no problems in Riptide,
but in dead trigger and some other games i've noticed a same kinda lag doesn't matter if GPU rendering is on or off. The screen just gets messy but I can hear continuing sounds... and then the game force closes (without any kinda message)
So have you guys had any trouble with performance?
I'm overall quite "disappointed" with the whole tegra 3 I don't think it's "that" good :-[
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

I haven't played Riptide, but I did play Dead Trigger. I didn't notice any lag, but the game was buggy on its own. I would be shooting zombies, then suddenly, I'm turned either 90 or 180 degrees and shooting at a wall. Combine that with the non-continuous look, and I'm frantically making little swipes with my right thumb to turn toward the zombies again. It makes the game unenjoyable (the fact that the story sounds like it was written by an eight year old doesn't help).
As for your lag problems, have you tried the usual troubleshooting methods (cold boot, factory reset, etc.)? I know that GTA3 recommends rebooting the tablet and starting with empty RAM (as empty as it gets, anyway) before you play it, and I have noticed a big performance difference when doing that versus playing with open apps. Maybe you could try that?

Yea that turning issue in dead trigger is really annoying.
Often after a reboot it has helped.
Is cold boot a normal reboot and what is the menu which you get when you press volume down plus power at boot or was it volume up?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

When you press volume down and power while booting, it shows you the bootloader menu. If you don't press anything, it will do a cold boot, which means it clears cache and dalvik cache.

Ok thanks, was it also possible to do a factory reset from that menu?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Yes. To be honest, though, I may have been wrong about how to cold boot. I think if you go to the bootloader menu, you have to press volume up. I'm pretty sure, now that I think about it, waiting will take you to recovery. Volume up gives you the option to factory reset, boot into Android, or wait 10 seconds to cold boot. Regardless, it will tell you when you get to the menu. Just pay attention to what it says.

I have Riptide GP and ShadowGun and they play flawless.
My TF300 has the stock room with the .30 update.

FWIW, I also have Riptide GP on my stock TF300T and I haven't encountered any issues up to now. Played for quite a while (and so did others)

Yesssss! No more lag on either shadowgun or gta 3 so far i have tested!
Seems like those factory resets helped, dunno why.

Issues after 4.4.3 update

Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing

I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused

i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?
