Hi,
i've bought 2 days ago the tab. It's a branded TIM (italian carrier).
So i've decided to fit a stock rom like in the tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686514.
Everithing is fine, but i now don't see the 16gb.
If i tap settings/memory i get:
Memory on board
1,97 gb total
sd card
it's empty because noone is inserted
Then i run titanium backup to get some more info and i get:
internal rom 1.26gb (269 mb free)
internal: 2.11GB (1.79 gb free)
sd card: 2.11GB (1.79 gb free)
sd card and internal are the same thing for titanium backup ?? They are the same.
Could you please help me to find the lost ram ??
THANK YOU
PS If i insert a micro sd, in titanium backup i've one more row:
ext. sd card: 3.95 gb (2.73 gb free)

which galaxy tab 2 version did you have, currently there are 3 version for the 7 inch alone, P3110 (wifi only), P3113 (wifi only plus iR), and P3100 (with GSM enabled). The P3113 have 8 GB storage while the rest is varied between 16 - 32 GB.
I've the gt-5100 wifi+3g 16gb
Weird, on my P3100 (7 inch GSM 16 Gb) there's 11.87 Gb total in settings>memory. Could it be because yours is carrier branded version which usually has been modified to some extent, maybe try rooting and installing new stock / custom rom and see the result again?
I need your help.
I've started with CWM, done a full wipe (dalvik,cache, user)
Installed another rom (the Fry rom)
Done again a full wipe.
I get the same free space as on first post
I have the same problem, and when i flashed stock rom with the pitefile, i got 4.56Gb total memory on board.......Still missing about 8gb...
I have solved the problem guys. You have to flash the stock rom with a pifile called signed_espresso_20120220_16G, this opens for 16gb total memory. I have the file, but i cant upload it, so send me your mail adress and i will mail the file to you ho needs it.
Is it for the 10" or the 7" ??
I've done a search on google and i'm not sure what the file is for ... and it seems to be for the 7" version of the gtab.
Any further info ?
thank you
PS
when i used odin to install the rom i did not checked re-partion, following the instruction of the link on the first page. I installed the stock rom and then the ram was 2gb. Then i've installed the fry rom (that is a stock plus some whistle) with a full wipe. But i've the same problem.

Try downloading the official non branded firmware from sammobile.com or samfirmware.com, flash it using odin and use full wipe / erase.

Can you give me instruction link to do that?
Please take a look at the attached screen shot where it shows that the information I have on my phone only takes up about half of the internal storage, yet I only have 511MB available. Can someone please help me find out where my internal storage went?
I am running CyanogenMod 10 on my SG3. Before this I ran all of the Experimental M builds and before that I ran several different nightlies.
Update:
I can't tell if my screenshot is working. I will type out what I see when I go to settings, storage:
Internal Storage:
Total Space
12.05GB
- Apps 3.03GB
- Pictures, videos 635MB
- Audio 22KB
- Downloads 97.64MB
- Available 510MB
Thre is also a graph of which more than half is dark gray representing Available.
Do you have a lot of backups? My backups don't show up in that chart either, but I've got 2.5 GB worth. Use something like storage analyzer from the play store.

Accidentally saved some CWM backups to internal SD. Deleted them through CWM, but still shows 4.4GB in CWM folder. Also have several weird folders, USBDriveA-F, dated the same as CWM backups. Running Jelly Beans build 6. noob, so any help is very much appreciated.
Shouldn't your Total Space list 16 GB though?
I have the 32 GB model, and I just checked mine, and it says I have exactly 32 GB of Total Space.

Go back into cwm and clear unused backup data in the backup menu, should clear up a little room. They do take up a lot of space though, they will take roughly 1.2 gb per backup. Also, i have those folders too. Not sure why, but they don't take y space, do they yours?

That perfect sense, and actually that is what I would expect. I was surprised when I saw mine reading "32.00 GB" Total Space. I thought it was going to read 27 or 28 GB or something like that.
Attached a screenshot. Maybe my phone is just including the system partition files in the Miscellaneous category or something?
I tried deleting backups from CWM, but the blobs folder was still 4GB. Is there a way to delete blobs folder contents through CWM? After flashing TOB 4.5, knew I wasn't going back so I deleted the contents of the blobs folder from file manager :good: My usbdrive folders are empty too, just wondering if that was normal.
I wanna use my microsd as main storage.

I had slight issue with something else but fixed it earlier today, here is exactly what I did; formatted ext sd card to fat32,
then did a full wipe using philz recovery (option which says wipe to install new rom),
then formatted internal memory, /sdcard
Then pressed full wipe for new rom AGAIN,
Then flashed rom (am running HD ROM 7.0),
Then flashed script.

because you specifically keep mentioning temple run I just tried it AND YES for some reason on both temple run one and two my actuall device memory goes down instead of the SD card, to be honest before this about 4 months ago I tried this and also had a problem where I could not install anything at ALL EVEN FROM THE PLAYSTORE, this script seems to be quite buggy for me personally, im going to go back to normal. I am going to look for an alternative. Also the parsing error which got fixed is back again LOL! Wasted money on a 64gb it seems.

Yes, I feel like I wasted money for the sd too,but also I feel stupid for not knowing all of these storage stuff at the first place. Honestly, I won't go back cuz if your fond of gameloft games or games really big on MBs you actually can save some memory. I have 7 gameloft games installed which are about 1 gb each and they have taken no more than 0.50 from the internal(all together). All games with Cache will work that way cuz the cache can go in the external (e.x with cache http://android.mob.org/game/dungeon_hunter_4.html ) if you scroll down where it writes download the last one is the cache, its close to 1GB. But, it still isn't fully working,as small games,which in my opinion happen to be the best for tablets don't store there.In the future i might change too, i get no errors or anything so far. Maybe a new script or something comes by then, that is actually working? :fingers-crossed:
If you find something better, tell me. I'm not so pleased with this script either

For crying out loud... I gave you the answer. You didn't like it, but that's your problem. I also asked you (and anyone else) to provide any proof of more internal storage on the 8GB model. No response, as expected. If you somehow remember getting full 8GB on stock ROM, as opposed to what you are getting now, you were hallucinating.
Let me try again. There is TOTAL storage, which is 8GB. And there is USER-ACCESSIBLE storage, which is much less. Unless you go really hardcore, and start playing with non-standard partition sizes on your tablet, you will NOT get more than approx. 4.5GB available to you. It's a fact of life. Get over it. To better understand what I mean, open terminal console, and type "df" (without quotes). Check the total size of your internal sdcard partition (on stock, it's /storage/sdcard0, on CM it may be something else). This is the definitive answer to your question.
Me too dude, The box of the tablet, and on the back part says that is 8GB but is only 4,59GB. Why?
Because the storage divides in two the first part is for the system app, and system process. The other part is for your apps or other things.
This is not a problem it is normal on any device. Why do you need many storage?
Try to use FolderMount or Link2SD for your apps. FolderMount helped me a lot for the big games.

okay i am the type of cat who is able to admit when I am wrong... i am wrong!!! I am sorry about that because I could swear that when i had the stock rom in that it showed 8gb TOTAL memory but obviously less available memory. since I posted this thread I went back to stock just to prove myself wrong and again, you were right. it only shows 4.59gb which really is a surprise to me.
just so you know it's not that i didnt like your answer, its just that I really believed that i saw 8gb total. my bad dude.
now, if i am able to get a memory swap with cm10.2 working Ill be satisfied. any ideas?
thanks

Sorry, can't help you with this, because I am not a CM user, and, most importantly, I never used any storage swapping methods. One think I did try in the past was to use some app to mount specific folder(s) on external SD to present them as if it was an internal storage. Although it doesnt completely swap your int and ext storage, it works just fine in most cases (with some limitations). Basically, this is what Folder Mount is about (already suggested to you). I used DirectoryBind, which has long been abandoned, and doesn't work on newer Android versions. Many people are happy with Folder Mount, but you can also find other alternatives, like Super Mount from Lidroid (it's free, unlike Folder Mount). Look them up on Play Store, it might be a workable solution for you...
I have the Nexus 5 16GB and recently updated to 4.4.3. Rooted again already, and installed TWRP. Now, I was going to perform a backup and I noticed my storage space is running low. However, I can't identify what is filling up the storage.
Available space - 3,17GB
Apps - 3,80GB
Imgs, videos - 772MB
Audio - 220KB
Downloads- 11,60MB
Cache- 132MB
Others - 116MB
If you add up all of this it will give around 4 maybe 4,2 GB of occupied space. Nonetheless, it shows up as if 9GB are occupied. What's going on?
