Hi, I'm using AOKP JB Build 4, and have been having some storage problems. Here is a screenshot of what is happening. As you can see, it says I only have 491 MB of storage left, but I've only used 5 GB for apps, 740 KB on pictures, and 500KB on music. What's going on? Why isn't it showing that I have more space than that? I also cannot download any apps because it says I have insufficient storage. Thanks!
I've had the same issue of the storage not reporting properly. I haven't been able to find a fix or cause yet.

I had this problem today aswell and i solved it but idk if its the same for you.
For me, i have Rom Toolbox Pro and i had the setting Apps2SD turned On and it made me have the storage problem. When i downloaded a app from the market it told me that i had the insufficient storage. Turning the Apps2SD off cleared my problem.
Here is the thread that helped me out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745247
Hope this helped

So, I just got my new G2X yesterday and loaded all the apps that I had on my MyTouch 4g before. Today I tried to download a 25MB app and my phone is already saying that there isn't enough storage space. When I check under storage it shows that I have 1.2 GB left on my internal storage. So if I have over a gig left why can't I download a 25MB app?
OK, so, come to find out that the Amazon market was able to DL apps perfectly fine so I uninstalled the Android Market updates and then it started working again. So, for what it's worth.

What would have been helpful was a better description of what you were doing, the full message you received.
The market downloads apps to a temporary cache before installing them. If you try to download many apps at the same time sometimes you will get the out of memory error. I got it on my Nexus One often. It has nothing to do with how much usable memory you actually have left. If you are downloading a large app download it alone and don't download any other apps at the same time.
Good advice. That's happened to me before.

Good call. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in the future. thanks.
Not to thread jack. where I'm having storage issues is the way it seems my SD card is being handled. For whatever reason my phone shows as having 3 storage locations SD card, Phone memory and Internal phone storage. The issue is that when using music players when picking a source it only lets me choose from either internal storage or external storage but the internal storage is the Internal phone storage and the external storage is the Phone memory. Leaving me without an option to choose the SD card. What's even more strange is that it does pull music from the SD card but now alot of the tags are messed up. All the tags are correct. I've doubled and tripled checked that. Leaves me scratching my head as to what is going on.

Makes sense. Do you know if this is adjustable? Noticed more and more storage issues with the new market.

Any idea how many apps is too many? I've had at least 15 or 16 apps downloading/updating at once on this phone and I never got an error.
On WI-FI I downloaded 10 at a time no problem. On phones data 5 no problems.

'ello, gents. I just got my first Android phone and I seem to not be able to access 4GB of the internal memory. Under application storage, it has my available space as 4GB+, but won't let me install applications to it. I downloaded the disk usage app and it shows only 561MB total instead of approx 4561MB that should be there. I now have 62MB of internal space left and as I was typing this I got yet another warning that I am out of space. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I think when I turned on my phone i had roughly 4.5 GB available for usage. I so far have only used up aroun 500 mb. Everything else goes on my 16gb SD card. What all do you have installed on your internal to eat that much space up?
You could always try to wipe the device clean and start brand new.
Well, I have a few apps installed, but my point is that the space isn't being used--it won't let me use it. The phone thinks that there is only 550MB total internal space, and, for some reason, ignores the other 4GB (see the screenshot I posted). I have been throwing everything on the sd card and even ordered a big sd card for this purpose, but I still want to fix this issue. When I try to click on application space under application storage to get some options our something, nothing happens. It looks like I might need to just reinstall from scratch to see if that fixes it. I mostly wanted to see if others were having this issue our if it was a known bug. Thanks again for any insights.

That 4gb of space is specifically for your apps, if ur phone isnt recognizing or accessing it then u need to return it cause its faulty.

same issue here... 500MB out of 4GB used internal. All the rest of my apps are going on the SD card.
I'm going to see if I can make it over to the at&t store and see what they have to say about it, but if anyone figures out what's going on, let me know. I plan on flashing MIUI as soon as its out, so I don't know if that will resolve the issue, but its probably better to not wait and see.

I appologize in advance if this is a bit rambling.
I spent some time troubleshooting the issue and it does seem like the Atrix 2 has some difficulty using internal app storage.
Using the default App storage viewer (settings > Applications > storage use) it shows the correct size of 4gig, but using DiskUsage I was only seeing a size of 561MB.
I started to test this by installing apps till i hit the 561MB limit and sure enough at ~560 it started complaining that there was no more room available for some apps and for others it started to install them on the SD card.
So i decided to try and force an app to internal storage. DiskUsage showed 9MB free and I had a 25MB app installed on the SD card. Using the default app manager I moved the app back to the phone and it installed, thus taking up all the free space shown by DiskUsage, but at the same time increasing the size of the disk to accomidate for the overage. All subsequent app installs have gone to the internal storage, increasing the disk size in DiskUsage.
More to come..
How did u move or force install on internal storage?

the legume - did you make it to AT&T and did they have anything to say?
I haven't yet, but using azangerle's idea, I seem to have resolved the issue. It looks like you need to force the phone past the approx 500MB barrier by moving an app to the sd card, filing up the 500MB internal storage and then once the phone says that its out of internal storage, move the app from the sd card back into internal. It will allow it to be copied, and you should be able to use the rest of the 4GB of storage afterwards (I'm almost to 2GB used with apps and haven't had any problems).
I'm still going to ask at&t about it when I can make it over there, but its not as high a priority new that we've found a workaround.

If you go to applications > manage applications > and then select an application, you can choose to have the app moved to the sd card (or back to internal)

Ah OK. Thnx. I see a few tabs there... downloaded, all, on SD card... what does the 'on SD card' mean? I definitely have not moved any to SD and if I go on an application I am still getting the option to move to SD :/
They are only on the SD card if they have the green checkmark, even if they are on the SD card tab. Its very confusing.

Thanks for clearing that up, I wondered about that cause I know I hadn't moved any apps to my sdcard yet it told me I have a few on there. Maybe because they were installed off of it???

Nope I installed it from market. I think these are the ones that can be moved to SD?

I was questioning why it showed like that on my phone. I have found some good info though
If you go into manage apps and click on the "on sdcard tab" unless there is a green checkmark next to the app it is not actually on your sdcard. Weird, but that's how it is.
I can live with that. Just wondering what on SD card means...
Has anyone known how to have access to internal storage?
I'd like to copy some movies to it but get "Access Denied"
Is internal storage available for an user???

What's the purpose of internal storage?
Is it default place for installation of the new applications?
i am running CM 10.1 on my infuse...
Out of 1.48 GB internal storage
0.97GB is Apps and cached is 19MB, Available space is 642 MB
But even then there is an notification that Storage space is running out, there are no logs in data/logs
have 3.6 GB out of 13.03GB free in usb storage and my external SD card of 4GB is almost full
why am i getting this error?
I cleared this error by deleting some of the old application data which was about 19MB in /datadata folder.....
Now i have about 40MB free in the datadata, but the thing is my email in which i set the sync option to all downloads all my emails and now it uses 69MB of the datadata partition which is the highest...
Is there any way to change this only for email app?
I have to say. This is the most frustrating error I've encountered,...
I have a Samsung infuse and I've tried all of the Roms for this phone and I always manage to get this error. Even the base cyanogenmod ROM... The only way that I've found to clear it is to reinstall the ROM.
I found out on some Google searching that there seems to be a bug that once the notification is there for the error, there is no going back. In other words, if you fill your storage, and get the error, then delete apps, there's no going back...
Couple days ago i have bought LG L90, its a great phone, but i encountered storage issue.
Ive cleaned cache, deleted unused apps. At least warning is gone, but i still cannot install apps over 20 mb because i get that message.
The worst is, there is free space, 400MB, why i cannot use it? Could anyone explain this to me ?
Previously i had Huawei y300 and same message was appearing when i was getting ~100mb space left.
Is there any way/solution to get remaining space working without having to root the phone?

400MB free space doesn't necessarily mean that 400MB are free in the partition allocated to applications.
Your L90 should be running KitKat, so moving apps to SD won't be like it could have been with a JB version. But some apps might still be able to be moved to SD. Go through your apps (via Application Manager) and see what you can move to SD.

What do you mean that moving apps to SD isnt on Kitkat like it was on JB?
Hello,
This is my first ever post here. I stumbled across this website when looking for a solution to the Kitkat 4.4 SD card issue, and it seems like the best place for advice on Hudl2 issues.
I got my Hudl2 for christmas, It had 9GB internal storage, but with a few apps on it that went to 8GB free space.
I have found that watching Programs on 4OD app, streaming them NOT downloading them is taking up space on my internal storage and my Hudl quickly started saying the internal storage was low.
Looking on the Setting-> Storage it showed a total of 1GB of apps installed, but ONLY 500kb free space and doesn't display any large files that could be the cause.
Anyone having similar issues, and know how to fix this problem? - the only fix i have found is a factory reset to free up the space until its full again.
Many thanks

Maybe clearing the cache could help you.
Go to Setting->Apps and click on the apps like the one you stream (4OD) to open App Info.
Clear the cache of the app there.
(You might be able to free up a hell lot of data)

When checking the cache it had 2mb there... Cleared that and the app data too. No luck there. It seems like a factory reset is the only option... But not a good one!!
Try CCCleaner or Clean Master! Not sure if you can download/install the APP from Store though!
(Due to not enough space for download/install?)
