Help, do I have a defective tablet? My son has only downloaded 2 apps, totaling 2 gb and he is now out of storage space (one of them being Grand Theft auto which is huge - no photos, no music, no videos etc)! I added a 16 gb micro sd card, moved the 2 apps to the sd card and the tab still has only 600 mb of storage left. I have turned off a ton of the pre-installed apps, which only freed up a bit of space. And pre-installed apps cannot be moved to the sd card.Help! Is that just the nature of the "lite" version or do I have a defective tablet in some way. I also have the older Galaxy Tab 2 and NEVER ran out of storage space and that one has tons of downloaded apps, music, photos etc. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it!

If this was a new tab then i would say YES you have a defect there if you put in a 16gb sd card moved all you can onto it and still can't load, that is a big problem. I load tons of stuff on mine with no problem and still have 8gb. I also clear the cache using Easy Cache Cleaner and History Eraser. You should check your settings and in settings application manager first, see if there is something there causing the problem. But i would send it back.

Good news - bad news. Contact AAA Mart,whom I assume we're the "seller". Are if you have had it less than 30 days you can get a refund from Amazon. Check Amazons A-Z gurantee. If that is an option, take it. AAA Mart has replaced mine twice for the same reason, will not charge and I am afraid to operate the third. I hope you have better luck than I have had with this tablet I think Amazon.listing this brand and I have told them so, but....... good luck from a fellow sucker

Hi. The tablet has 16gb of storage, with an optional micro SD as well. I wouldn't buy it though, the micro usb port WILL break, no matter how careful you are...

When I last used this device, I installed Amazon AppStore (might have been version 2.xx something). Subsequent versions did not work well on this tablet. As time progressed, many of the newer apps would not even run on this device. Your best bet these days might be downloading APKs and installing them manually. Awhile ago, I could find some apps (with older versions) at the websitewww dot freewarelovers dot com forward-slash android

This Tablet can only fit 1 micro SD card up to 32GB. Any higher than that and the tablet doe's not recognize it.

It's the memory that allows you to download lots or music or movies to your phone. The more memory you have the more you can download. I have a 16gb sd card on my phone & I have hundreds of songs & 6 movies downloaded so far but I have lots of memory to use. I have a tablet that I'm going to buy a 32gb sd card for & that's a ton of memory so don't slight yourself, get the sd card & enjoy all the apps, music & movies you want.....

It's 8GB storage with about 5GB usable (factory apps etc take up the rest). I have a ton of apps installed for both work and play and still have over 3GB left. Also it does take SD cards, I have an additional 8GB SD in mine.

You may have ran out of your 2 GB as it as i may be wrong in that it need turning or working space with GB's. Option as the 2 GB'S may have one good use as a storage option or backup far a small amount of photo or videos. GO FOR something bigger may be 16GB in that way you may run out of battery power leaving you with more GB to come back to.

It's funny that I was going to post the same exact question until I saw yours :P Well anyway's, I've been looking really hard at side-by-side pictures and size- The size the Galaxy Tab 2 is- 4.8 x 0.4 x 7.6 inches ; 12.2 ounces, while the size of the original tab is- 4.7 x 0.5 x 7.5 inches ; 13.6 ounces, which is ever so slightly different. :( And the camera's aren't in the same spot, in the original tab, the camera is in the more upper right part, but in the Tab 2, it's next to the mic. I was kinda bummed when I figured it out, since it looks like a perfect case, and you CAN'T beat $4.30. So I know, sad face, but if you wait they will start making some appliances for it. Pfft, there aren't any at all yet :O

I've read a lot about this phone not having enough memory on it. However, there is a way around the memory issue that is quite simple. Every time you download a new app from the Google Play store, do not open it immediately. Exit the browser and go to the APPMGR. Then, go to INSTALLED APPS and click on your new download. You should see a section that says "Move to internal memory" and click on it. Once you do that, it frees up the main phone memory and allows you to move your downloads to the internal memory. So far, I've downloaded Skype, Netflix, Pandora, Zedge, Tracfone airtime balance app and FB messenger. And by moving each app to internal memory before I open it, I still have plenty of room still left to add a few more apps later on. Hope that helps you out, because it's worked well for me.

I bought this one for my son, this is our conversation:It does have a slot for a micro sd card. The same one that is in my phone. did you get a book about how big of a sd card it will take in GBSyesWell that one is two..but most of the time they will hold more, they just send a smaller one with the players.I remember the book had that in it. Let me go double check, because it may take up to 10 I do not know for sure.There is a disk the comes with it so you can put drivers for the videos on there.It did not come with it, not that I could see. I used the one from my phone.how many gbs will it holdI could not find in the book the memory capacity of the external card that it can hold.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

I returned my Polaroid 8" Tablet 3 times and received a new one each time. EVERY one of them would freeze up, not allow me to download apps most of the time, and when it would finally download an app and I would get comfortable with using the tablet, it would erase all apps and the app store! This happened on ALL THREE of the tablets I was given. Get rid of it asap!

Mine came with the Google Play Store but it did not have FaceBook, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, or Netflix. I had to download them myself from the Play Store. The tablet that I got was one of the last in stock, right after I received it most of the sellers that had it showed "out-of-stock". So I think the last ones they sold were probably rushed through to get them available and didn't get a lot of apps preinstalled. This is the only seller I've seen who still has them in stock. And naturally they're more money than all the others I saw. Mine was $77, this guy wants $90.

There was an app that you have to use. Should have came pre-installed. Sorry I can't help more. I returned this tablet back to the store.
