My Hipstreet tablet tells me I have no storage, when I know that there is.

I have a Hipstreet tablet with 16 gigs of storage... using about 4 to 6 gigs and I'm stuck. There is very little on my tablet in the way of Apps and can't even update what I have, without that annoying message coming up, telling me "there is insufficient storage".
Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it ?

That 16GB is partitioned for various uses. There's a system partition, an app partition, etc., etc. You're out of space on userdata - so even if there's space left on other partitions, you can't use it for apps and data. (Some manufacturers do a good job of designing th partitioning so that you have the maximum amount of starage they can give you - some manufacturers aren't that good at it.)

Thanks Rukbat.. So what I'm hearing is, I'm S#%t out of luck !
I was so hoping for a good easy fix.. That really sucks. Next time I'll ask more questions before buying something like this. Thanks again for your input..

I'm still looking for a fix ! Would anyone else have an ideal or solution ? Can this tablet be repartitioned to make use of all that memory ? This is so frustrating !

 

[Rukbat]

No, unfortunately, even for the popular devices, no one writes repartitioned ROMs. You just accept the partitioning the manufacturer uses. (It's not like a hard drive, where it's easy to repartition things.)

Thanks again... Shame on me... Better luck next time !
