my friend bought an e8 a few days ago, his first android phone so im looking to get him all setup etc.
hes having problems downloading apps - he gets an insufficient storage error. i checked his phone and his internal space is 1.5gb, he has 150mb available but is only using 600mb for apps and cache. He is missing 700mb somewhere!!
i have factory reset for him but still the same after a while.
Also when i go to settings > about phone > model number > it says htc one m8, but his phone is an e8 definitely!!
also htcsite says that i can update software by going to settings > about > software information. that option does not exist on his phone!!
can anyone help? i persuaded him to sell his iphone 5s to buy this phone and its notworking properly!!
How can 1.5 be internal storage? there is16 gb in HTC E8 for internal storage (I have 2.3 gb of apps in it).
Are you sure its HTC E8?
try to install CPU-Z to check details information regarding the phone like phone model number, cpu, memory etc..

Try what swordfish suggested for finding out model etc.
For finding out where disk usage is going download an app called DISKUSAGE. That should help you.

Hello people.
What's my problem:
I own a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini St15i and today when i plugged it in my USB it said there was a new software update. I have accepted it and it passed without any problems. BUT after i turned my phone on and my friend sent me a SMS msg it wasnt stored on my messages anymore, there is just last message before u updated my phone. I checked if i have memory, coz i thought i was out of it, but there was 98 MB left on phone memory still. Then i asked my brother to send me SMS to check if it is working with him, but still it was same problem, message wasn't stored -_-
I triend turning off my phone, then turn on, removing battery, but nothing sloved that bug, and that happend just after i updated it, so it's some software bug. My brother has same phone as me but he didnt have any problems after update tho, and he got his update 15 days ago, and i got it today, i dunno why i had to wait that much for my update. Anyway i plugged USB on my phone and went in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and click "Repair" software. It said all contacts, msgs, and some more things will be "overwriten", then i went in settings to move all my applications to SD card coz i thought i could will still have them on my phone after Repair, coz it's memory card, not phone memory.
After it "repaired" the software i lost EVERYTHING, ALL applications even after i moved them to my SD card, and now when i browse my memory card i dont see where that applications are, i checked all folders but there are none of them! And what's weird it says that i have only 140 MB free on my card, even if it is 2 GB of total memory, and when i select all files on it it says total used space is 750 MB, so where is the rest of the space (it should be: 2 GB - 750 MB = around 1,25 GB, but it says i only have 140 MB free -_-)? I guess it is in backuped apps but i cant find them, anywhere. I thought they will still be there after repair coz it said only files from phone memory will be "overwriten"
SMS is working like it should now tho.
Any help please? I will destroy it, im totaly mad now coz i guess i have to install all applications again.
My phone isnt rooted btw.
Kind regards!
This phone has a hardware problem with SD cards. I tried to go to the store.
You can try going to the store and getting it replaced, or see if they have any solutions.
Although I don't have the same phone as you, whenever I flash a new rom/update, I take out my external SD card ... just incase, and if I have the time, I'll even throw a backup on my computer ... just incase.
Better safe that sorry.
Hope that helps.
I have ARHD 7.3 installed and keep getting the storage is low notification constantly. This must be the system storage but I don't know how to check it.
I have nearly 400MB free from the 1.15GB user data partition
SD has 6GB free
Every app that can be moved to SD has been moved
Disabled the built in mail app as I read that it stores emails in the system partition
Uninstalled dropbox and facebook app
The only thing that seemed to help was to go to Storage and select the 2nd Make more space option and clear the "Temporary files from HTC apps" (currently 7.02GB). The problem with that is:
TuneIn radio app stops working with "System Audio" error message
Skype stops working properly too
If you do a 4ext/nandroid backup and reflash, the problems go away but then come back as soon as you restore the backup you took
Don't what else to try. Help!
The way I see it, low internal memory is a hardware limitation. Considering this is a 5 year old phone, there is little that can be done especially as newer apps are more bloated. The problem is even worse if you are using Kitkat/Lollipop based ROMs since the OS itself takes up a lot of space.
One workaround which you can try if you can manage to get a high speed SD card (UHS-I) is to increase the data partition size. Check this mod for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-sensation/development/mod-turbo-data-8gb-data-partition-t3036742 . I myself am waiting for a new card to prolong my phone's lifespan.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a Moto G 2015 with 8 gb of internal storage, came with Lollipop and recently upgraded it to Marshmallow. The problem is that after restoring all my applications the sum of the used internal storage doesn't match the free space that should be available. Specifically I have 2.06 GB of installed apps and it reports that there are 3.72 GB used.. so there is almos 1.65 GB of vanished storage space. I wonder that maybe the marshmallow update file remains there and may be part of the missing space, but that cant be for all the missing storage space.
Here is a screenshot of the situation (Forum doesnt let me post link to a image: (It shows in the top bar of internal storage: 3,72GB in use of 4,54GB. Below: Apps: 2,06 GB. Cache: 2,06 MB.)
Maybe this was covered, but are the only alternatives to free that mistery space to root the phone and find the culprit?
Thanks in advance!
Carlos.
Hi there, android always eats up some internal storage, make a cache wiping and see what happens.
(Be careful about factory reset whether you attempt so, search about FRP, unfortunately been through that recently; basically don't change your google account password whenever you are attempting to factory reset your device).
Also, MM comes with an option to set sdCard as internal storage, check that out if you have a REALLY GOOD micro-sd maybe that could be your solution to a lot of future headache.
Regards!

Haha, I have a 32gb Samsung EVO Performance Class 10 UHS1 card that has speeds of up to 80MBPS (read) and 20MBPS (write), and it still reported too slow. However, it works better than my Kingston 16 GB Class 10 UHS1 card... Way better. I don't think any SD card will be adequate for what the tests require, they will all say "too slow" even though it may be the highest end card.

I've noticed that my Pixel's available storage seems to shift drastically between what's available after a few day's use and what's available after I've rebooted, which I don't understand.
Having quite a number of large Daydream VR apps, my 32 GB of storage is getting full. After a few days of use, my Pixel will report "not enough storage" when performing routine Google Play app updates. I've cleared the cache via Settings > Storage > Cached data, but that may only free up a bit more than 1 GB most of the time (see image 1). However after I reboot my phone, I suddenly have 6 GB free (see image 2) that has disappeared from the Other category.
Why does this happen, and is rebooting the only way to get this space back?
Maybe a rogue app? Check your Settings -> Apps and see if you have one that is using several GBs of storage that it shouldn't be before you reboot next time. Really weird that you've got 6 GB of "other" before the reboot and < 1 GB afterwards. Not an issue I'm having so I don't have a clue.

take look at this topic
https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-use-the-google-pixels-smart-storage-feature/
there might be temporary file as describe in this topic or temp file from an app! and better to say malware!
u need to check all installed app to make sure about it
:good:
I was continuously getting a message to download update but when I tried it told me not enough storage, so I got an SD card but try as I might I cannot see how to transfer apps onto it to free up space. I have searched Google for answers and some talk of a 3 dot drop-down but this doesn't exist in the SD card area. I only have about a dozen photos on the pad so I don't know what's used up all the space also battery life is very poor. I moved over from iOS devices because of the price but I guess you only get what you pay for.
If you've got the 16gb version the os will take up some of the space so you may not have much left. You can't use apps to SD on all tabs but you might find an option if you search in settings.
Also have you checked in developer options? Go system > about > mash the build number 5 or so times.
You should now have a developer options menu and you may be able to enable it there.
Don't have my tab with me right now to check it's possible but give it a go.
There's an option 'force allow apps on external' give that a try
I don't see that either.
perhaps you mean the one found in "Settings -> Storage -> Default location : SD card " ?
It will require a reboot.
