My wife likes to use the Galaxy Tab 7.0 v3 (Sprint) for videos. Yesterday, when trying to take a video, a message stating she had ONLY???? 4032 MB (4 GIG) left in internal memory prevented her from taking a video several times. Yes, 4 GIG not 4 MB or 4 KB. I had installed a 32 GB SD card which she had never used, as the Sprint Model is a 16 GB memory model. Anyway, last night when I changed the default for storage (to find that you have to scroll down a settings menu to find the storage option...not very intuitive) of Camera/Video to the external card, the message stopped so the immediate problem is solved. However, why would such a message show up (I'm ok with that if there is insufficient space left) and prevent the video from operating, when there was still plenty of storage? Most of her videos are around 200 MB with her longest around 650 MB. Anyone have an answer? I could not find this issue addressed anywhere on the internet or Samsungs site.

Hello,
Sprint PPC 6600 with a 4 GB SD card... the card is working fine with files, however I get the following error upon trying to use the camera for pics / video:
"Unable to capture. Not enough Memory 36001:111:0"
the Tools> Options (Image & Video Tabs) are set to have the SD card be the storage folder.
any suggestions?
Thanks
this is my first post from my BA.. anyway..it is a known problem with the camera software itself.. not the hardware.. just need to put enough data on your SD so you have less than 2gb free and you should be good to go
works great.
thank you for your time

I seem to have an issue with my internal storage in the Settings app. When I select Storage to display how much I have used it showed 277 mb used in Pictures,videos. I had about 16 pictures/videos in there, along with a bunch of "empty" places. I deleted those empty places and cleared the cache, no difference. I checked the gallery and it showed the same pictures, along with videos from a couple of games, and one game I had uninstalled, Shadowgun. There were two videos and two "empty" videos for Shadowgun. I deleted these four, and instead of going down the amount of space used for Pictures, videos actually went up to 410 mb used. One more thing on these videos, the two were the same, except that one had a path listed under details and the other one did not. All four were the same size, about 30 mb. Any ideas?

You could try using SD Maid to help you out. Sometimes thumbnails generated by the gallery result in huge (300+ mb) sizes (SD Maid could get rid of them and additional unneeded files for you).
I'm also having problems with internal storage, I'm getting low space warnings with almost nothing installed. I reloaded from stock image and after reinstalling my apps it said I was only using 1gb, my tablet is used as a car stereo so no photos are taken and all media is on the sd card but now 3 days later it says I am using 4gb of internal storage without adding any new apps or adding anything to the tablet also I am noticing my tablet lag horribly sometimes when coming out of sleep. any help would be appreciated

Since you have it in your car, I'm guessing your using GPS nav?
There seems to be a bug with the GPS caching. Check the data/GPS folder for a ton of dated txt files (something like gl-2012-07-01-9573859.txt). And delete them. That folder can grow to a few gb of space of not cleared.
You will have to be rooted to see and mod the GPS folder. Your only other option if you not rooted is to factory reset.

Its good to know whats causing it I will probably stray away from using the gps as much.
I'm not rooted and probably wont root as I am only weeks away from swapping out the acer a100 for a nexus 7. I already have a buyer lined up for my a100 and don't want to risk anything before the sale
Internal storage
I had this issue one of the culprits: gogle play, clear that cache it also stores mp4.
Hello everyone,
I have two issues with my Galaxy S3 :
1. I need to shoot some 720p videos with my phone and sometimes they get to be quite lengthy and the file size exceeds 4 GB. The problem is even with a exFAT formated 32 GB card, the phone will stop the recording at the 4 GB mark. I understand the limitation for regular FAT is 4 GB, but it shouldn't be an issue for exFAT; and yet it is. How do I remove this limitation and where is it comming from ?
2. A lot of times I get the message "SD Card unexpectedly removed, please use the unmount function .... etc " . The thing is I am not even touching the SD card, the phone goes crazy by itself. Do I get a bad SD card or is there a bug somewhere?
I am running the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM.
Thank you
Hi again everyone, I want to thank all of you great and talented people who have helped me and made suggestions as to make my Note 2 a much better device. I have a problem and I need some help. I have the Note 2 on T-Mobile, and I rooted it,
How do swap my internal memory to become external memory and vice versa.? I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (USA version) I live in the New York City area.
I have about 1.36 GB left of device memory. When I download a game, or a large app, it automatically goes my device memory. Problem #1: Is there any way I can tell my Note 2, or set up my Note 2 so that whenever I download a game or an app, to go automatically instead to my micro external SD 64 GB card (I have the Sandisk Class 10 card). So I have two problems one is transfer some of my 8.97 GB presently on the card, and in the future make every app or game I get to automatically to San Disk Card. when I go "My Files" on my Note 2, it lists two storage areas: the Sdcard0 and extSdCard. Also, when I plug in my Note on my computer it only shows the following: Card: 36.9 GB free of 59.4 and phone 1.25 GB free of 10.8 GB. Can anyone please help, please thanks? Thanks.
Hi guys. I tried to browse for answers regarding this issue, but I couldn't find anything that worked for me,
I've gotten to a point where any time I either download a single picture from Whatsapp or take a photograph with my phone, I get the "There's not enough space in your device memory". I discovered that neither deleting apps nor manually moving them to my external SD card had any effect on this. I have tried many kinds of apps that move your apps to the SD card, but it hasn't worked. I installed an SDK on my computer in order that the phone would install apps onto the external SD card by default. This didn't make the issue go away.
This is very frustrating. I have double checked every single folder inside "sdcard0" and there are no big files taking up space. I'm running on a stock, non-rooted 4.1.2.
I recently deleted around 300 - 400 pictures from my external SD card and the following time I connected the phone to my computer, I noticed the phone's memory had like 400 mb of free space that it didn't before (and yes, I was ABSOLUTELY sure those pictures where stored in my external SD). But just a couple of days after that, the space issue got even worse than before, saying that I had no memory left at all (it would usually display the message when I had like 69 mb left, if I remember correctly). Using Cleanmaster helps like 4 out of 10 times, but thanks to it, I've noticed that the phone is creating 3 Photo thumbnails files: two which are 520 mb in size (stored in DCIM) and another one called Gallery Thumbnails which is 1.02 GB. I suppose at least one thumbnails file is created automatically after deleting it, but I don't understand why I have 3.
I found a thread made by someone with the same issue, and someone suggested to uninstall all Google Play updates, or something like that. I did that, and it didn't work.
I hope you can help me find a solution, and I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place. Thanks in advance.
Could you show us a screenshot of your storage in settings?

There you have all my storage information. The phone's not presenting the issue right now, and as you can see in USB storage, I have 500 mb of free space, but it's always like that: I have a lot of free space, and one or two days later I try to open a picture I just took or downloaded, and it says I have 0 mb left. I connect the phone to my PC and it shows the "phone" storage completely full.
What I don't understand is why it shows that I have 528 mb of pictures and videos in USB storage, when I'm 100% sure all that is stored in my external SD. Could it be that those 528 mb are actually a thumbnails file?
I am having the exact same problem! Running 4.1.2 firmware, this just recently started happening... I've reformatted the internal USB memory twice but the problem keeps reoccurring.
I try to get into the image gallery sometimes and it will say something like "You only have 50mb of space left, delete some files" and then it either forces me to quit or go into the file manager. But there are no pictures or video on my phone at all!
I've noticed that the DCIM folder on the internal memory was MASSIVE (600mb+ despite having no files whatsoever), so I connected it to my computer and manually deleted it and rebooted the phone, only to find that DCIM had replaced itself with a slightly smaller size (450mbs) and is continuously growing. Reformatting the USB every week or so is becoming a big hassle.
What's going on? Could the internal memory be fried? Is this a bug that can be fixed somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
