    Can anyone tell me if storage is a particular issue with this phone or if it's just me? For months Ive been getting the device full or almost notifications but I cant really understand why. I have literally 6 apps that Ive downloaded: FB, twitter, a golf app, a weather app and a banking app. Ive got maybe 2 dozen photos and videos saved. And I have an extra storage card. I have deleted stuff as I get the warnings but it doesnt seem to have made any difference. So I cant download or update anything at the moment and my music player seems to have stopped. Help!

    Hi.

    I have a Samsung J5 also and I have noticed that after downloading a few apps, I get the notification about 'Insufficient Storage Space'. My phone has 8GB internal storage space with a further 32 GB SD card installed. I have tried moving all my downloaded apps to my SD card, but still encounter trouble with storage running out.

    You both need to look at where your apps are storing files/photos and cache. Settings ->Storage will give you a good idea.

    8GB of space is simply not enough on a modern phone. Cache for apps will hoover that up in no time. And Android itself will take up a large % of it.

    Jesus 8GBs internal storage. Should be banned under the human rights convention.
