My device was reporting only 48,9GB of storage total, even though I had just wiped everything. Is this normal?

Yes this is completely normal. This is because there are still partitions available on your device which are not visible to you eg. system , vendor, cache etc.
The Internal Storage partition availabe is for your own storage use.

Yes, Android requires space, too.

Storage Issue known

Just wanting to report: Finally got frustrated with my girlfriend's Wildfire S so we went into Tmobile to find out what they knew. Apparently the storage thing is an issue and you can get the phone replaced under warranty. We should be receiving the new phone monday or tuesday, will report findings.
Happy to report the new phone doesn't have the storage problem. It had about 115mb of free space, and functionality that hadn't been working previously, like email, gallery, friend stream, etc.
How much?
How many applications and how much free space do you have left now. I have 10 and only have 6.1mb left, and these apps are very basic, no games or anything.

Try DATA2WHATEVER if your rooted
Just do factory reset, it'll clear upto 100+mb of memory.

I think on the GNex the whole SD card can be used for installing apps. Google did this on purpose to cope with the "Not enough free space to install" issues one had on other handsets.
Are you on Stock ROM?
Stock Rom, I thought that was the case as well, I think I may have found the problem might be to do with restricting background data? will test and see.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Market -> Clear Data. Try again. It's a bug likely.
There was an "out of memory" issue on Honeycomb tablets which required a device wipe to correct. I hope you get this resolved. I'd hate for this bug to be in ICS.

I got that couple of times - when I wanted to update app which i "modified" with Lucky Patcher... Most of the time I just uninstalled that app first, then I installed new version. I also tried in Settings-Apps-All-Google Play Store to clear cache & data. It may work... :fingers-crossed:

System Data

Hello,
Never had any issues with my G3 in the year ive had it until now!
Basically I've checked my storage as my 16gb internal seemed to be incredibly low (especially since I store everything on my SD), I then realised I had a huge 8gb +/- taken up under Misc - system data. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to reduce this size.
On Samsung phones you can enter the hidden menu and wipe dumpstates and logcats but cant find the option on my d855 hidden menu.
I've flashed a bunch of ROMs and done resets etc but the problem persists. Any help would be great.
Using apps like System Cleaner etc etc DO NOT do anything as the problem lies in system data.
Thanks
Curtis

UPDATE
I've managed to improve my situation by doing the following;
Deleted the 'Facebook.orca' folder from my internal sd (That was a massive 4gb- but for some reason didn't come up under app data etc)
Installed FolderMount and linked my DCIM/Picture folders to my SD to give me an extra 1.5gb of internal space.

Internal memory over consumption: Sm-p601 note 10.1 2014 edition

good day guys,,
the problem is like that,,, obviously the system is counting the space that is consumed by the application i've had installed on it, wrong, cause i'm very sure that it can't never occupies that much the system analysis is telling me,
i calculated the size of all the applications on my device it turned out to be around 9 GB
yet the System counting it for about 10.82 GB
= 1.82 gb is like geny in the air, i can't find it
2nd, i think the device is giving these applications wrong size any way,
so,, there most be something wrong with the system reading to the memory or the applications space,
1- i formatted the the memory through the reset factory function
2- wiped the memory through the recovery
3- re installed fresh official room by the oden,
yet still the same !!
what do you think guys,
screen shot & device information attached for your reference
MODEL NO: SM-P601
ANDROID VERSION: 5.1.1 (OFFICIAL ROOM)
INTERNAL MEMORY SIZE: 16 GB
