Internal memory full - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the original Note 10.1 and it has been working great for over a year but recently the internal memory just keeps filling, no matter what I do. I have cleared out all unwanted apps & data which worked for a while butn a matter of weeks, & without downloading any more apps, it's become full again. I then did a factory reset which worked well, but within 2 weeks same again!
Any ideas?

Could be one App that is synchronising data to the tablet.
Do factory reset.
Remove the memory card
don't use any apps
and monitor the storage space used. (if the internal memory is still getting low so the tablet need to reinstall the firmware)
Make sure you don't setup DropBox account to see what will happen.
after this try one app at a time to see which app is eating the storage.
final option is to do reinstall of the stock firmware again using Odin.

I'm on 4.1.2 it's been fine since I did the last reset but I took the memory card out and haven't put it back in so I don't know if it was something on that that was causing the problem

Factory reset Noob

Unrooted ,untouched TF101 with OTA ICS.
How can I do a factory reset and keep all my stuff ?
In storage I see my SD card is almost empty so all my photos and such and stored internally, How can I move them so they won't get lost ?
What about free and paid apps and all their stored information too ?

Just move what you want to save (photos and such) to the external sd card or to a PC.
Your apps that you download from Market is link to your Google account so once you sign back in with the same account it will get restore.
Data will be lost

Connect it to a computer and copy the files from the tf101 to pc

I'm kind of in the same boat, except I did try to use Asus App Backup, except that it fails on all. I'm trying to backup 23 installed apps, 167 MB total - well under the 600 MB limit. This is after the ICS update. Any suggestions as to why it won't work? Tried titanium (free version) but it seemed to be overkill for what I wanted to do. I don't have a ton of pictures or music, all that can be easily replaced. I'm more concerned about a few apps I've gotten from Amazon and a couple of other places (all legal), but may not be able to re-install.
Hate to have to revive this but i haven't been able to find an answer. Mine always freezes at 7% or 12% no matter if full or partial app list. I lost root for awhile with .21 update so couldn't use TB. I am now rerooted but trying to get Asus' stock app to work on their product as ridiculous as that may sound. Doesn't matter if I use internal or external sd card.
That brings up another issue that my tfp keeps losing recognition of my external sd card. Havent been able to find any help on this either.

[Q] New tablet owner looking for space...

I installed cm9 on my samsung galaxy tab 2 7 and am really digging it. I'm really new to the whole cyanogenmod and android tablet thing. I have performed a factory reset, but there seems to still be things on the device taking up space.
With only 8 gigs of space to start with space is at a premium, so is there anything i can do to safely wipe the whole thing and start from a fresh install? Is this even possible?
Any space saving advice is welcome.

I guess you could try before installing, do a factory reset in Stock ROM, that will format your Sdcard and give you more space... Don't forget to do a TB backup...
I have only 1.5 gigs on my Fascinate, but I am only using about 800mb. Android apps do not take up very much space at all. Also, forgive me if I misinterpret your question, but the space is taken up by your /system and /data partitions, which eat into the 8 gb.

Um... In my haste I did neglect to do a backup. Fortunately everything seems to be in working order. I am using CWM to do a backup now.
Is there a reason I should use TB to do a backup instead of CWM?
I'm still really new to this, I'm just glad I didn't screw anything up on my first try.
As long as you use it only, TB backup should be functionally equivalent to a CWM NAND backup. But if you upgrade to another TAB, only TB backup could be easily transferred to thew new TAB. CWM NAND backup could note be used on the new TAB.

[Q] Recovering Applications on the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

Please bare with me since I am still learning about android and so my question is, how can I recover my applications from my tablet after I have rooted it.
I flashed cyanogen 9 to my SGT2.10.1 and it was successful, although I am stuck on trying to recover my applications from the partition internal memory. Of course I have done a variety of steps to recover them and some of the steps I took are:
1. I tried using the spk tool - I really do not know how to use it and I am having a hard time figuring it out
2. Trying to delete and reformat the internal memory - was not successful since it only erased of what I currently had on the rooted and partitioned memory, thus my original/stock application are still within the internal memory.
3. I tried using applications such PC36IMG-AmonRA-3.07-gnm.zip - I changed the name to PC36IMG but flashing it lead to installation fail/aborted
4. I tried recovering them with titanium back up - but the application couldn't see my original/stock applications
5. Also tried using Astro File manager - Same results as TBU
6. Deleting the files from my pc via usb- it does not give me an option to reformat it
Any suggestions? this is the final step that I need to complete to finally enjoy my retarded galaxy tab 2
Hi. I always use titanium backup and never had problems with it - what do you mean by "couldn't see my original applications"? Did you make a backup of the applications prior to flashing CM? If you did so and you didn't format the sdcard (the "TitaniumBackup" folder" resides by default on the internal sdcard), you should still have all your backups there, and you should be able to restore them.
Are you trying to get the same apps you had on stock prior to flashing CM9? If so, did you back up prior to flashing?

it is recommended that you dont use titanium back up to restore your apps. you will have to reinstall from scratch. that is on the cm9 instructions.
just for future reference, you will need to download tbu from the market, install it then try to use the back up to reinstall your apps. or you can create a zip file from within tbu which you can install using cwm but do it after your rom is working

I did not back it, I also did not delete them before flashing CM which i truly regret. Since my stock applications/original applications take up 8 gigs of my internal memory out of 13. The 8 gigs of memory/apps, I have no access or whatsoever.... I succesfully rooted and flashed CM and GAAP the only thing is left for me is to restore this applications or delete them so I can finally utilize my tablet.
Please help me
any suggestions are all welcome as long as my tablet not end being brick.

Hmm... Well I hate to say this but I think they're gone... You sure those 8 gigs aren't something else?

Impossible, im pretty sure those 8 gigs can only be my stock applications? what else can it be? I mean you do not actually think cyanogen 9 is worth 9 gigs? I have nothing in my current OS.
They cannot be good since I can fully see the memory being occupied, I am just having a difficult time accessing and recovering those stock applications.
I can't believe no one knows how to do this in this thread....

[Q] Need guidance on Samsung Galaxy 3 i5801 Factory Reset

Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5801) from past 2 years. Recently I am started experiencing memory bloat issue. I have only 30 apps installed and still I have only 20MB internal memory left. I tried clearing all unnecessary data from Application section in Settings. I also moved few apps to SD card. Still there is not increase in free internal memory. Due to this my phone's performance has drastically reduced and m quite frustrated with it
I am thinking to do a factory reset now to get back my internal memory. Can anyone suggest how much will this help in resolving the issue. Also can anyone tell me what data I will lose if I go for a factory reset. Will I lose all the apps (including Google Play, YouTube, Calculator,All Share, etc which came pre installed when I bought the phone)???
Kindly let me know if any other way exists to resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance....
Some info about factory reset...
Factory reset erases only /data and /cache - any data you stored, any apps you installed, any settings you configured WILL BE LOST.
SYSTEM apps will stay as they were.
Also, If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, you will still have 2.2 installed because /system folder doesn't get deleted when doing factory reset.
If you rooted the phone, root will STAY too.
I don't know if you're rooted, probably not as if you were, you will NOT be facing those problems
When you are rooted, you can try eg. Link2SD app (download from the play store) and move teoretically EVERY app to the sdcard.
And as I'm not an expert with this app moving stuff, maybe some other geek can help you out with this

Some apps deleted after reboot

The phone became sluggish. I rebooted. After reboot, some of my apps were gone. :crying:
I opened Application Manager. It appears the apps got deleted became "com.(developer's name).(app's name)" and 0.00B.
I tried to install one app which got deleted. It failed. (Error code: -110)
What's wrong? How could I get back the apps, data and settings?
I have no SD card.
It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, not rooted.
Please help. Thanks a lot.
Do a second clean reboot, and don't touch phone for 20 minutes. The apps MIGHT come back. If not, reinstall apps, then uninstall, and install again to clean up corrupted files. At worst, you might need to do a clean wipe of your system, as the file system itself might be corrupt, though normally I only see this on external memory cards.

What do you mean by clean reboot? I just switch off the phone. Wait 20 minutes and restart?
I couldn't reinstall the apps which got mysteriously deleted. They always fail. (Error code: -110)
I would like to save the data and settings of those apps before I do a clean wipe as a last resort. But how could I backup those data and settings when they are all suddenly gone. Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Tried but failed :crying:
Could anyone help? Thank you.
The system looks unstable. I couldn't reinstall those unrecoverable apps. I would like to backup data and do a factory reset.
But how could I backup those app data? The app data are still there, but the apps are unrecoverable.
I tried Helium which states it can backup app data without root access. Unfortunately those apps which got deleted mysteriously were not on the backup list.
Titanium Backup needs root access. I've never rooted before.
What's the easiest way to root my phone? Thank you.
