Hi guys,
I bought a new tablet CHUWI VI7, with android 5.1.1
and i have a weird problem, the storage space is running out, now i have 156MB available.
but the funny part is this:
TOTAL SPACE: 3.60GB
AVAILABLE: 155MB
APPS: 792MB
PICTURES,VIDEOS: 488KB
AUDIO: 40KB
DOWNLOAD: 464KB
CACHED DATA:1MB
MISC: 23.42MB
TOTAL:817.404MB!!
every sec, 1 mb is gone...
i try clean cached via recovery, didn't help../
i do a full format from recovery and after one day this happens again.
i try delete every app i can and this is not helping .. i just download waze,google photos,google play services,youtube,rocket player and some small apps from play store.
i think is a virus that is build-in the tablet, but i can't do a root (what is published here didn't works for me..)
and i try to download a antivirus and it not find anything...
what should i do? please help me... this is nice tablet and it works good..
Same here!
At some point I only had Waze, Here Maps (with downloaded maps on External SD) and ES File Explorer, and I couldn't update any of the apps because of lack of space (less than 100Mb free).
I simply cannot understand why...

Yes, there is a bug in this tablet.
I have to root the device, flash it, and then all bugs are gone.
you can follow this tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/mod-t3175515
I have the same problem on my Chuwi vi7 - I can't install apps because there is no space left.
I freed up a fair bit of space on Data by clearing the data used by various apps in Settings, but be careful which apps who's data you clear, or you might lose useful data. Apps that sync with your Google account can soon be restored by syncing again.
I installed Diskinfo from App Store (free). It makes it easy to understand why there is a shortage of space. You'll be able to see that Chuwi created a Cache partition which is 1.1 Gbytes and a Data partition (where the apps are installed) which is 3.7 Gbyte. Unfortunately my Data partition only has 9% space remaining, whereas the cache partition has 95% free!
A more ideal solution would be to either :-
1. Resize the Cache partition to give Data more space. That would require a rooted phone, a repartitioning app, and you'd be wise to backup the partitions before resizing them. I'm sure 500 Mbytes would be ample for Cache. Cache can be cleaned easily enough anyway.
2. Start moving Apps to an external SD card. There are several apps and tools around that will handle that for you. That will free up space on the Data partition.
Hope that helps a little. Colin

Several weeks ago I installed the Avatarrom with Jelly Bean 4.2 on my Galaxy S2 I9100. At first I was very pleased with everything. It was much faster, and in many ways better. Since then I've installed two updates. I'm constantly running out of memory. I cannot read my Gmail using the default gmail app anymore (your device doesn't have enough storage space to sync). Updating apps in the playstore doesn't work (Insufficient storage available). I removed many apps, cleared the general cache and that of many apps, moved numerous apps to the external SD, and that freed up enough memory to get the rest working, but not for long. With the second update, things seemed improved and I could open gmail again, but only for two days.
I've installed the app DiskUsage. This reports the following:
App storage (system ram I suppose)
Total 2015 MB
System data: 1645 MB
Applications: 309 MB
Free: 60 MB
Storage card
Total 11781 MB
Free 4900 MB
Storage SD card
total 14972 MB
6700 MB free
If I remember correctly the system data was "only" 1200MB when installing the avatarrom. Now it's 1645MB. How can that be? My phone has 2GB system memory, and if I'm correct there are not many phones with more than that. So if it grows 200MB with each update, something's wrong, isn't it? Or am I missing something? Should I clear some other cache or download folder? Does the free space on the storage card make a difference? Can I increase the system memory space, like resizing a partition?

Clear the cache files occasionally, every app generates cache data like Chrome Browser can generate more than 100mb of cache over a period of time.

Many apps store data on the system /data partition, the only chance to get more free space in the standard way is:
- remove unused apps
- move apps and/or data to sd (but not all apps will alow that)
This should give you some additional free memory, but yes, I agree, the /data partition is a bit small.
Hey, my friend has the same problem.
I installed him 3 different 4.1 JB roms, but the problem is same in all 3 roms.
We did factory reset and also wiped phone in recovery mode, but it didn't help.
We also tried this with sd card in phone and without sd card with phone, no difference at all.
What should my friend do to fix this?
Hello everyone, cause I am new here.
I hope I've set this topic in a proper forum. I seem it is a general problem, not connected with specific model of phone.
It began when I was updating apps on the phone - I saw a message about a lack of free space. Update couldn't be continued. I had CyanMobile eXperience custom ROM, my phone is Samsung Galaxy Mini.
Firstly, I tried to clean SD card, removing most of photos taken with camera. It helped for a short period of time, but although I had plenty of free room on SD card, the problem returned. There was no free place on the internal memory.
I tried to move all possible apps to SD card using options from settings menu (most of them were already on the card, I had done it before), but this also help for a short time.
So I entered Recovery and used Wipe Cache. What is important - probably without any need I used also Fix Permissions option. After this, the phone stopped reacting, so I turned out the battery (now I know that I shouldn't do it).
After a reboot, the OS and the launcher returned to factory settings. I understand that it's a consequence of Wipe Cache. But, additionally, Home key stopped working. I guess that it might be because of the wrong use of the Fix Permissions. So I repeated it (waiting until the Fix Permissions finishes), but it didn't help. Home key didn't work all the time.
I read that the only solution is reflashing the ROM, so i decided to install something newer: this CyanogenMod. It helped for a Home hey problem, but not for a free space problem.
Somebody adviced me to use Link2SD app. I managed to install it after removing few apps and moved all possible apps to SD card with this app. To do it, I had to repartition the card. I made 512 MB Ext4 partition (my SD card is 2 GB) for Link2SD. Installed one or two updates and the problem came back again.
I have no idea what to do now. I'm wondering about Wipe Data, but I am not convinced to do it, cause I would have to install everything again. Moreover, I seem that it won't give much, after installing all the apps and updates it will be no free place in the phone internal drive again.
Meanwhile, don't know why: due to Fix Permissions misuse, Wipe Cache, or changing ROM, some apps vanished.
The OS shows 23,95 MB free space in the internal memory (total capacity - 178 MB, 58,71 MB used by apps data, 576 MB by cache, so about 120 MB strangely disappeared) and 370 MB free space on SD card (not taking into account Link2SD partition - second one with FAT16: capacity 1,36 GB, 56 KB taken by apps data, 27,2 MB by photos and movies, 64 KB by sounds, 80,55 MB by downloaded data, 288 KB - cache, 545 MB - "different").
Strange is this "eaten" part of the phone internal drive.
What to do now?
The Device Memory section at the storage page in setting displays that:
Total space: 1.97 GB
Applications: 1.23 GB
Available: 49.52 MB
Where did the 700MB gone?
This happens when I upgrade the Android from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I've installed less apps in 4.1.2 than in 4.0.4 (I wiped my phone before upgrade).
I tried to wipe dalvik cache which give only 10~20MB. How to freed the eaten device memory?
Also, strange enough, I've move many apps moved to sdcard but it seems their data are still remain in device memory. I check one large apps' info:
Total: 165 MB
Application: 100 KB
USB storage app 51.81 MB
Data: 113 MB
SD Card 0.00B
Does this mean 113MB data still in device memory?
EDIT:
I finally found out what take up the near 700MB space.
I delete all files in /data/lost+found/ freed 666MB.
I use an apps called disk usage to locate this.
Jelly bean takes up a lot more storage space than ICS for a start. How many apps do you have installed? I have about 60 downloaded apps installed (not including the pre-installed apps) & I have 0.97GB free in that partition. Do you have a few hundred installed?

In my App To SD in ZDBox (an integrate toolbox apps with app2sd, taskkill, etc function), I have 43 Apps in phone (only 8 apps movable) and 41 Apps on SD Card, not counting android component. But in the "All" page in Application Management in Options, I got 200 Apps including android components.
I don't know which is more trustworthy but no matter how, many large apps have been moved to SD Card. Even from the "All" page in Application Management which includes many android component, I manually add up the space occupied. It is just 1.25 GB.
Where do the 700 MB gone and how can I get them back?
By the way, how many disappeared device memory do you have, Hopper8? I mean when you subtract the sum of all components including available space from total.
Weird. From what I manually added up all apps in phone and sd card, its just 1.25GB.
But there are 1.23 GB of Application in "Device memory" and 1.66 GB of Application in "USB Storage" in Application Management.
1.23+1.66=2.89 GB >>1.25 GB
I am driven crazy.

Hmm. Without seeing what you're adding up, its hard for me to visualize. It does sound like you're missing some space though.
How did you upgrade to JB? Did you flash via odin? Or accept a Kies/OTA notification? I'm thinking that a full wipe is in order. First step is factory reset.

I did a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache and flash [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLSW (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (XEU) [05-06-13] with ODIN.
It's difficult to make a list of my apps but as for my adding up, it includes all data except cache of all apps installed on no matter device storage or external SD card. I also checked the apps' cache size with a system cleaner. Only 30 MB of Cache in total.
Do you have device memory not inside any categories (not even in Miscellaneous or System)? Strangely I just have one categories, Application, except available under Device Memory (or Internal Storage in some version) section at Storage in Options.
Hmm. And you have used a few different system cleaners and such to have a look at what's on there?
As for my listings for the storage usage, I've got available, apps, and cached data for my internal storage. Nothing else.
I really don't know if I can be of any other help to you mate if there are any other posters who can help, please do.

I've got the same problem. Running Revolt/JB ROM. But had the same problem with the previous ROM (AOKP/JB).
Storage tab in settings reports: total space: 1.97GB , Apps (app data & media.. : 0.95 GB, Available: 242MB.
So yeah. Android's using some fuzzy math here, or something isn't being reported properly.
I did a full factory wipe, no luck fixing the issue.
95 apps, rough count just flipping through the screens in the app drawer.

Can someone kindly explain this to me. I'm getting errors like insufficient storage and Application cannot be installed in the default install location.
These are occuring on currently installed apps that are trying to update. I've downloaded a couple of new apps without issue though.
This is really confusing to me.
My storage looks like this:
Total Space: 1.97Gb
Applications: 1.55Gb
Available Space: 282Mb
USB Storage:
Total Space: 11.25Gb (broken down in apps, music, etc.)
Available Space: 9.98Gb
I do not have an SD card.
Seems to me I have plenty of space to do what ever with.
Just don't understand what this all means and what I need to do to fix it.
Thanks kindly,
J.

I had the same issue but I fixed it doing a factory reset and changing the ROM
Have you tried wiping the cache partition.
Also try clear data on the play store , Google play services, and Google services framework.
Then remove and readd you gmail account from the device and power cycle your phone and try downloading apps again.
If youre still having issues back up your data and factory data reset that bad boy
Hope this helps! Feel free to message me if still having issues.

Hey.
I have seen this issue pop up a lot with no real resolution.
My girlfriends S2 keeps trying to update applications such as Chrome and Whats App, and they keep on failing to update. It seems like it downloads the update but when it attempts to install it, it gives an error saying there is insufficient space. Also, I can download other applications fine it seems.
Here is the storage specs.
Internal Storage Total Space 1.97gb Available 160mb
Internal Storage Total Space 11.49gb Available 8.14gb
SD Card Total Space 1.84gb Available 1.82gb
USB storage doesn't show anything, it just says Storage Space is running out.
I deleted the log files and all but it still happens. Tried clearing the dalvhik cache but nothing seems to work!
Would appreciate any help please
1st of all
As this is a question, it would be more appropriate to put it in Q&A thread, don't you think?
2nd. Some options you can try:
Clear data of Google play and Google service framework. Reboot
Delete the google account, reboot and re-enter it.
Or go into CWM and wipe data/factory reset as your absolute last option. Don't for get to backup, if you try this option.
Good luck
Yeah true maybe a mod can move it sorry.
Do I do that by going into Applications and Clearing the data?
When you say delete the google account do you mean like remove her account from the phone and readd it?
EDIT
I deleted the data in Play and Google services and it still doesn't work.
I seen it mentioned before that doing a factory reset does not solve the problem
Not google services, google services framework
Yes you can do that in application manager
Yes remove account from settings, reboot and re-enter it.

Okay I did the account deletion and it seemed to fix it.
All the applications that couldn't previously update, updated.
Vine gave an insufficient space error but then I tried to update it again and it worked fine.
But Chrome wont install.
It was previously installed but couldn't update, so I deleted it. And now I can't install it.
Says insufficient space. Any recommendations?

You probably should know that when the system storage (where apps are) get's "full" when it reaches something near 1.7 GB out of 1.9, mainly because the rest is needed for cache storage etc..
So i recommend keepng it below 1.65 GB, do you have below 1.65 GB?
Try to delete what you think is unnecessary apps. Install google chrome and if it works, means you don't have enough space..

Yeah I deleted some things and it works fine.
So the problem is the internal storage.
It says Internal Storage Total Space 1.97gb Available 500mb
However, apps are only taking up like 200mb and cache is like 1.3mb so where is the rest of the data being saved?
Her other storage space is like 8gb free so why aren't apps saving to that?

If you have 500mb available, you have more than enough free space..
Cache are in insternal storage, but mostly are in /data/data folder.
The other storage is where pictures, videos etc are stored.
