Can someone do me a favour a and check their total internal memory. Mine is at 10.36gb. Is this not too small? I wasn't expecting the full 16gb, but even so...

Yes its only 10.36 GB free. Probably the remaining is used by Samsung pre-installed apps etc.
Cheers. Oh well. Spotify better hurry up and allow moving to external sd!

Do a search for the old spotify apk, it lets you choose external. You uninstall spotify, install the old one and choose external storage (download a song to confirm its on ext), then upgrade to the current version and it will keep external as your storage location.

Thanks for saying what the memory is. Just proves to me that I need one with more memory.
Hurry up Samsung and release the larger versions.

I have a feeling that this will be a stupid question. But how do I move apps to my external SD. App to SD does not work. Cwm does not show external SD. I'm lost

Well there technically is no reason for Android to move apps to sd because we have so much internal memory, try moving all the media files you have to sd.....

I don't think that's the technical answer. They took that feature out in 4.0, but if you search around you'll find workarounds if you really really want it
Well the internal has told me that I'm running out of space

Why is my 16 gb T-mobile Note 2 only showing 10 gb? Did i get a defective device, or does this particullar device use 6 gb for system? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Quite a bit is used for the system, and is normal (unfortunately)

Thanks for your help! But it really sucks that I only have 10 GB of storage left and most of that is being used on apps

You can always buy an sd card, you can add 64gb. At least we have an option to add an sd card. If you need more space there's options.

And if you get a usb OTG cable, you can add a flash drive to add even more storage! I got a 64gb card in the phone and another 64gb flash drive which I've loaded with music and videos.

There's an option to transfer user apps to sd card in Titanium Backup paid version.

I was looking for an easy way to do this because I am lazy. Saw scripts and stuff but that seemed like work.I tried this, but I am not certain it works, at least not well. I ran it, and it says it ran successfully, but the device memory didn't change at all. Same amount taken up by applications, same available space over all.
However, I did try to move the apps back and forth again to test this, so maybe it moved once, but then refused to move any more. Not sure...
Do I have to have a rooted phone in order to move stuff to my sd card? This is insane that u can't move apps or music to an sd card. WHY would Samsung do that?

They are probably not transferring because they don't run properly from the external sd. There's plenty of room for apps in the internal.

I was updating an app and my notification bar said that I didn't have enough space. But I have 11gb internal and 12gb on my external memory card.

"I have a phone, and it isn't powering up." See, no one can make the head and tail of it.
Sorry about that pun, but I only wanted to tell you that more info is needed than throw some statement that would attract no more than some blind solutions.
Tell more details, like say, what's the free space? Did you check with any disk space explorer app?
Perhaps you're looking at total space, and not available space, and you may have the emulated storage bug, eating up your space.
Are you using lucky patcher?

Yes I am using Lucky Patcher. And I was looking at my storage via "holding home" and checking thru that way.
Am I missing some memory? Shouldnt I have more available then 3.5? Is this normal guys I thought this phone has 16gb internal?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You got one of the recall S4's probably. Shake the phone and see if you hear something rattle, if so thats the missing memory. Take it back to the store for recall replacment
Some of that 16gb is dedicated to the "system" (Rom and pre installed app)

Most likely the other part of you answer. Although its a 16gb device only around half of it is usable storage. Still after flashing a ROM I tend to have 7+GB available. Backups take a big chunk. 2.5 - 3gb and by default store internally. Move these to an external SD and select external as default storage on next backup. I actually have a separate 32gb thumb drive+ otg cable with a backup from multiple ROMs. And I select the USB otg option. Keeps my on board SD cards clean.

Look at the pictures I attach. The Samsung entry takes up a lot of space. Is this something I can safely delete? What is it by the way?

I think it's dropbox syncing files to your phone, though not 100% sure.

Yes. If you have it turned on, and there's no other dropbox entry in storage overview, that's most likely it. Delete the cloudagent folder in /sdcard and see if it's gone.

Use a file manager (or browse from your PC) and look what it contains. It could be files that are synchronized via Samsung Kies. By default the "Samsung" folder is around 102 MB only. It contains a video file, a music files and some images for wallpaper.

Hi,
Why not move them to your external sd? This way you can save your internal sd space. Please note that the free space for internal sd and sdcard partitions are shared.

Uh, could you confirm that you mean that free space in internal and external storage is shared ?
Because as far is I know you are wrong.

Hi,
What I meant is the free space for internal (hidden partition where the apps are installed) and the sdcard position are shared. Not the external sd.

Whatever you do, you won't be able to use more than 10.46 GB of data. Even if you switch to an aosp ROM which is less than 1/3 the size of touchwiz ROM , you will still only be able to use 10.46 GB.
Some apps showing 11.2 GB including titanium backup is the same as only 14gb usable out of 16gb usable. You can multiply 11.2 x 1000^3 and divide it by 1024^3 and get roughly 10.46
Resizing partitions is a different case.
