2) Installing so many apps (while you install apps it by default store in device memory)
3) If the default storage for Camera is device/Internal Storage. (When you takes pictures or video it stores in device and this error will come after complete the limit of use internal storage)
4) If you use social media and multimedia messaging apps, by default it stores media files i.e. Images, Audio files and Videos in device storage.
5) This problem may comes due to faulty firmware or old version firmware.
6) Due to bad sector in Internal memory/storage.
7) Due to built in storage space low in some low priced Android smartphones i.e below 512MB or 1GB.

3) Change the storage Location to SD card/External Storage in Camera (You can change this by going to settings on camera, Open camera-> Click on Settings icon-> Storage Location-> Select SD Card)
4) By moving the multimedia files stored in the device to the SD card i.e. if you use Whats App it stores all media files in device storage so move these files periodically to SD card. (To move whatsApp media files Go to My Files -> Device Storage -> WhatsApp -> Media -> Move all folders i.e. Images, Audio, Video and Documents etc.)

9) In some high end smartphones you may get this error, although the free space is 1GB or more, now a days some phones come with high Internal storage capacity i.e 32GB or more, but why this error come? because these phones are designed to give better performance, so they limit the use of Internal storage to run the phone smoothly, when you cross the storage limit available for users this error comes, then you need more free storage in the device by following the above process.
