Hi folks at XDA!
My name is Erich And I have a N7000 (first gen Galaxy Note).
I have it rooted and although it is a 16GB device, it is showing just 10.9 GB of internal memory when I plug it to the PC via USB.
But this is not the major problem. The major problem is that it is displaying full memory (2GB total) even after a factory reset and installing a just the super optimizer app.
I´ve tried to use odin with the 16GB .PIT file but it didn´t helped.
I´ve tried to format it to ext 4 with Phil-z CWM and I can´t boot it past CWM anymore. Later today, I´ll try to install the original ROM file from sammobile.
Can someone please help me mainly with the memory problem?
Thanks!
Does anyone have any ideas please?

go into settings > storage > normally you will get Internal phone storage at about 2 GB and Internal SD card at about 13.43 GB ( when it is having a 16 GB embedded SD card)
your 16 GB embedded SD card has many hidden partitions, so usable storage space will be reduced.
what you can do is copy all the contnts of your SD card to your PC and than format it by settings > storage> format to get back full space.
to learn more about storage look at My Storage ( link below)

Thanks man! This is what I get when I do as you told:
device memory
- total space: 1.97 GB
- apps: 402 MB
- Available space: 1.56 GB
USB Storage
- Total Space 11.08 GB
- Apps: 86.12 MB
- Images, videos: 1.53 MB
- Audio: 32 KB
- Other Files: 172 MB
- Available Space: 10.88 GB
Keep in mind that I did a factory reset this weekend and formated everything via PhilZ CWM.
The real problem with all this is that the avaiable ROM goes full with just few apps like Waze, WhatsApp, gApps and such. I used to install lots of apps with no problems, but now this space goes up real fast.
Anyway, I will play with it again after the format/ factory reset.
Thanks for the info. I´ll try to update the info as it goes.
And it happened again.
It was ok yesterday, with 1.5 GB free yesterday and today it is full. The last thing I've installed was any.do and any.do Cal. But those were about 5 days ago.
All the movable Apps are in the external SD
All pictures were deleted too.
All I've intalled is:
- Super optimizer;
- tinder
- swift key
- skype
- waze
- WhatsApp
Root apps:
- root checker
- Super User
- Super SU
- PhilZ CWM
So, again I ask again the good people at XDA:
Does anyone have any Idea of what's happening?
thanks in advance
I am still having this problem.
I can´t update any app because the ROM isn´t enough for the action. Can someone please help me?
What ROM are you using?, and also which recovery do you have?

What does it show when you do settings/storage ? That one is accurate for me.

Here are the complete details which shows about the memory :
In Task Manager it is showing : System Storage -> 10.24GB/11.87GB
From Settings > Storage :
Total Space : 11.77GB
Apps : 1.39GB
Pictures, videos : 213MB
Audio : 0.91 GB
Downloads : 20.01MB
Miss : 1.52 GB
Available : 1.52 GB
From settings > Application Manager :
Device memory : 10GB Used
1.7GB free
cache...
Not sure if you have already tried this... Use a good cache cleaner and check if something is taking up space in cache
Also are you using link2SD ? If yes let us know..
Connect the Tab to computer and check how much free space it shows in explorer...if it too shows 10GB used then definitely somewhere a big file is taking up space...
Last thing that comes to my mind is , install " SD Maid " and there is a option to list Top 50 Biggest size file...please check if that helps
any workaround?

You know guys, I already found the answer to this and posted it for all to find. I cannot take credit for this, another fellow got irritated that his kid could not install games anymore, so he figured it out. The answer is not all that bad and is easy, and quick.
Use ClockworkMod ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Use the menu to format your internal SDCard. Reboot. You will loose all of your apps and have to start over, but your Google account will recover and put back everything in fairly short order. Mine completely restored itself in about ½ an hour. Sweet!
Losing all storage on the internal card is a very, very frustrating thing and it drove me nuts for longer than it should have. My girl was SO upset that I would lose all of her game progress that I could not update for a while until I used Titanium Backup to backup all the stuff on the tablet. Titanium Backup restored all of her game data so that she would not have to play Jewels Star from the beginning again, she already cleared all 3 major hard board and gained a bonus board of 100 more levels. Lose that and man I would be dead meat. Titanium put it all back, thank God. Another bad thing is the apps would not even update anymore, no room. Oh, baby is here now, time for bed.
Please, click the Thanks button if this post helps you! Night night everyone.
One question - is formatting internal SD safe? Won't it delete system or something? I don't need to flash rom or anything else after that?

'Internal SD' is a separate partition of the internal memory away from 'system' partition. So no worries that you will screw anything up by formatting internal SD.
I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 to my Samsung Galaxy i5801 and it seems to be working OK, mostly. I am having to try to reinstall several of the apps I had previously but each time I try I get a message that there is insufficient space to install.
I have checked the reported space and it seems I have 0 internal storage and 14GB external storage. I have tried to change the storage location for downloaded apps to both internal and external with no difference.
Any suggestions for a solution? I have tried searching the forum and, although I see other posts asking similar questions there don't appear to be any answers.

You can try to reflash the rom or you can partition your SD card and use data2sd.
The problem with the install location is, that you need to have free space on the internal storage in advance.
The app is first downloaded into a container on the internal storage, and then installed (at least partly) to the internal storage. So you should have at least appSize * 2 of free space.
Another app you could try is Link2SD. It moves mostly everything of an app to the sd-card. But for that you need to partition your card. Just google for that app
TRIED Link2SD [ BUT NOT WORKING ]
Link 2 SD is best to Move apps to SD Card ...........

If you are using Marcellusbe's build then Link2SD should work. Just ignore the error and reboot the phone.

I use marcellusbe's CM 10 only .....
I rebooted the phone ...
But it is not at all movig the apps to external SD
did you install the rom with odin? i had exactly the same problem, reinstalling the rom from clockwork mod recovery fixed it, or install the mtd version from recovery.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!
Try MarketFix by Felipe Aaon
You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
As you can see in the screenshots below ~1,3gb of internal storage are missing. ( 0.53 GB free + 2.89 GB apps + 0.06 GB the rest of things = 3.48 GB. Total space 4.74 GB - 3.48 GB = 1.26 GB missing.)
If you look closely there is an anomaly. In list the Miscellaneous file takes only 26.69 mb internal storage but in the graphic look like they are taking much more. I guess there is the missing internal storage.
I am full stock with the latest firmware installed. I have the 4,7 inch model.
I tried to factory reset and wipe cache. At first was ok, but after i remove the bloatware and install my apps same results.
I use cleanmaster,powercleaner but with no result.
I looked up in every folder in internal storage but i did not find anything that can take this space.
What can i do without root? I don't wanna root right now.

i am having the same issue, dont know what to do:S
I'm gonna guess the both of you are running the "8"gb versions? It's possible you may have an actual 16gb nand chip, just partitioned to 8.
If you are, then I would highly advise you repartition the memory and unlock the 16gb. I also think it has been mentioned somewhere that there is some 1.+gb backup file or something or other that appears to be useless. I've seen some users at the russian site 4pda complaining of the same issue.
The bottom line is you're going to have to root to fix the issue. Re-flashing the software via the mobile update app will just lead you to the same situation.
There is a flashable zip in the repartition thread in the dev section, that makes it pretty painless through TWRP. It will check to see what actual size nand chip is present.
correction: i have a 16 GB 5.5"
Hi, I'm french and sorry for spelling.
Same concern on Idol 3 (5.5) 16Gb

I have the same problem, what is the solution for this?

Hello,
I have a GoClever Aries 785 (M7841) Tab, and supposedly it is an 8 GB tab, since I can ot post any images because I am a new user this will be harder, I will try to transcript from the screenshots I have taken, here we go:
1. You see this when you press the "Storage" tab in settings:
Storage
Rom information
Internal Rom 8192 MB
System 7528 MB
User Available 664 MB
Okay so, What does all this mean? Am I missing something obvious here? Internal Rom as I understand is the total memory the device has? And System is how much is currently being used as a total? User available is self explanatory. I am not new to flashing Android Roms and such, but this is confusing me for some reason. Moving on to the next image and closer to the main question
2 In the same "Storage" tab I see a section called:
Flash storage
Total space: 5.06 GB
Available: 664 MB
(And on it goes with how much storage the apps, pics and so on occupy)
As I understand, this Flash Storage is an emulated internal SD card or something
3. Another section is:
Internal storage
Total space: 0.98GB
Available: 287MB
Apps (SYSTEM APPS IN FACT) and cached data takes about 500MB
So that adds up to what? 6 GBs? As I understand 3 GB is hidden and used by the Android system?
The point of all this is this leaves me with like a half a GB to download apps and install them because they all go to internal storage and not flash storage or SD card. WTF? I am constantly having issues of low storage and when I reach a certain limit Google Play does not even let download apps. I can have the Flash storage as empty as I want and an SD card as large as I want but because the internal storage has only 300 MB available I am not able to download apps. I can download apps if there is free internal storage and move them to flash storage from the app manager, but the system still leaves some data in the Internal storage and I do not think I can move them to an SD card, so since when I move an app to the Flash storage and it leaves some data in Internal, I come to a point when it is full again and there is nothing I can do about it. I cant select the default write disk to be Flash stage or SD, but I think it is only for the camera, voice recorder and etc. How do I work around this? Is there a way to reparation the storage so there would be more space of Internal storage? Or maybe some thing else I could do? I can not even have apps like Facebook or the Google Docs that I need, I have to constancy clean cache so I cant at least get like 20 MB more.
Device is rooted, I can access device internal storage with ES file explorer.
If you have gotten this far, I thank you for reading my novel, I have tried to explain everything as clear as I can and to include as much info as I can, some of it might have been useless. Sorry for a long post.
No one has the answer?
Hi !
If the device has been rooted then some improper storage readings may occur
Install DiskInfo from playstore for a better image of your storage
You can use but be careful with SdMaid from playstore as well
Basically , a 8GB Rom is the total storage your device has been built with which actually means 7629.39 mb in real
From this amount , 3 gb may be the system which you can`t fill it up with user`s apps or personal files , the rest of it is the user`s space storage from which 500 mb is the cache
In the end , without any personal files or user`s apps , the amount of available storage may be 4291.53 mb so , try to remove all the personal (media) files away (audio , video, downloads ...) and check how much free space you`ll get
Your system may be capable of moving user`s app to flash storage but this is limited to certain folders like data folder of the application , the obb won`t move out
A good application is Apps2Sd from playstore but again , be very careful and properly read the xda`s thread before doing anything
Good luck !
