internet cache to sd card?? must have... - G1 General

I can't believe no1 has mentioned this...at least not to my knowledge...as I browse throughxda and android forums. Internal storage is under 60 mgs for me and the browser eats it up real quick up 2 20 or 30 mgs...I def would likke 2 see that option...

I'm second to this notion. It's rediculuous that the browser cache (usually the largest) is not stored in the microSD card.

Yeah that should be in the next cache, just like pc syncing... that would be sweet

Ummm what are you talking about? Maybe you have too many programs on your phone because I can use the browser just fine and have had over 600 messages on my phone... even some MMS messages.

Same here not showing any memory issues with the phone and have a lot of txt messages and MMS as well as quite a few programs installed.

It's not about a memory issue. The fact is HTC/T-mobile/Google made a stupid mistake by not giving this phone larger internal storage. Earlier today I had my phone slow on me because the browser cache had taken up all of the internal mem, I had to install a few apps just to reopen the browser so I could clear the cache. The fact that they KNEW the phone only had 60megs (which is sad on a phone of this calibre) for internal storage, and didn't make it so all storage of all kind was immediately transferred to the SD card is just annoying. This phone was like 5 to 10 OBVIOUS moves from being a damn near perfect phone Imagine the G1...as is...plus:
- 3.5mm jack ON TOP.
- Mini USB port moved to the side or top as not to impede typing while charging.
- 4-8GBs of internal storage..or even 2GBs
- Virtual keypad for quick typing with one hand.
- File Manager
- Complete video player with multiple codec support (Seriously, no AVI? WMV? even MOV?)
- constantly active accelerometer
- True IM on par with the IM client on the SK or better.
- and a personal nitpick...sliding finger across photos to swith from photo to photo.
with just those fixes...though there are indeed other 'issues' with the phone, but if those were implemented in the final design...we'd have a true iPhone killer (I think Android ****s on OSX, but the G1 < iPhone.

... I have yet to have any real issues. I had a message come up once because I installed every app in the market and it just said I had 10% storage left. I see no problem with the 60meg storage for now as I am sure in the future it will let us use internal storage.
As for the headphone jack... give it up this isn't an MP3 player it is a phone. If I wanted an MP3 player I would have bought a creative zen... oh wait I did.
Virtual keyboard is in the work... same with a video recorder/player... wow who would have thought. At which time I am sure the file manager will be coming out also.
So far this isn't even a final design... hence the RC in our versions. This is a release candidate... meaning "hey we need to work on it some more but it is good enough to release and get your opinions on what needs work" This phone is basically for developers and advanced users right now so that we can get our hands on it and figure out what we need to make.

I don't know what ya see on ur phones but when I first got my phone ad put about 2 or 3 new apps on it I still had 71 mb free of internal storage memory,it's about 30 below that now because of all the apps and games I downloaded but I still don't see any problems with my phone slowing down. For the internet cache what helped me a little was going into settings/manage apps/browser I realised that there was 8 mbs being taken up by data so I cleared the data and got 8 mbs back in internal storage memory free and didn't mess up my browser in any way, hopes this helps ya.

I have over 25 app installed on my g1 and my memory is at 58mgs ...the problem is that I dnt want to have to clear my browser history ever single time I use the internet...ya kno? I think internet cache to sd would be a big plus to this phone..thinkkabout it...u can surf for hours without worring about ne low mem msgs popping up....I honestly can see y ne1 would be against this

I don't think we are against this. We are just wondering where you get the 60 msg limit from. Yes I would love to see that option but it looks as thou none of us have the msg limit you have. I can live without the cache being on the card for now. Especially since I can browse for hours without it telling me my memory is full... and like I said I have over 500 messages in my inbox. It is the same way cache is stored on your computer at home (thinking FF not IE) once you use up your limit (8MB on the g1 I believe) it just deletes things in the cache to give you more space. If it didn't you wouldn't be able to go much further than 1 or 2 graphic intense sites.

first of all lets get this straight
mgs = megs = megabytes
msg = messages
the phone has 60 megabytes of internal memory when you install apps they are saved on the internal memory when you use youtube and browse the internet the cache is saved on the internal memory
cookzitall is not saying anything about messages hes talking about memory
right not i have about 40mb of memory left if i browse the web and use youtube it can go down to 10-20mb this slows down the phone
if we could save cache to sdcard you could have cache without slowing your phone

awww that is where we got confused. I didn't know mgs was megabytes since we us MB for that. msg is a common shortcut for message. With the biggest App being 4MB I don't see that big of an issue. And if you limit your cache correctly you shouldn't have issues either.

Yea thanx for clearing that up haitiankid...
This is really becoming a problem...especially with the market expanding to as big as 8 MB(mgs) lol ... I have a total of 24 apps installed with only 4 that r over a mg and my mem is at 53 MB....that's comparable to my wing..which is sad bc this phone shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the wing...just hitting a few forums on xda brings my mem down to 46 MB..and that's just me browsing the dream pages....that to me is insifficant...
I also noticed that there is a slight mem leaking happening...or maybe sum settings r stealing the memory but its unlikely....when I hardreset my phone and install all my apps my mem is at 57 MB....4MB more than the previous 53 that I was showing....maybe sum1 can relate or explain....

yeah the internet cache clearing is a issue, and yes the device should have more internal memory, and yes it should have internet cache on the storage card

if you go to settings -> applications -> manage applications
you can see how much storage all of your storage your programs use. even though you download an app thats about 500kb it takes up more space because apps save user data (even though its not much, it still adds up)
for example if you download one og the notepad apps off of the market thats about 50kb but depending on how many notes you store it can go from 50 to 100kb but thats not much
most of the storage is used for cache for apps that came with the phone like the browser, maps and youtube.

Have a 2 gig card now - but still get memory low messages

What can I delete, or shift to the card?
Pics and music are on it already now.
Thanks in advance
hard reset and don't install stuff on phone unless vital!
That's right.
Hard reset is recommended.
But for now you can uninstall some of your large apps (see your activesync) and then reinstall them, pointing to your SD card.
Wizardragon -- What actually is the problem you are getting?? If you have installed lots of programs on your device rather than the SD Card then of course you will get low memory messages sooner or later - however I am sure you haven't put a post here for something as obvious as that. :wink:
Can you do a SOFT reset and then immediatley go and look and see what memory you have - Both types. Post the results and then we can see what the issue is.
Thanks
The problem was caused by the camera software changing back to storing on the phone and loads of surfing while I was on holiday - but I scrubbed as many programs as I could - cleared the net cache - and copied the (few) pics over- and it is now showing 15M storage and 20M program storage free.
So basically now I'd like an idea if this is about right for free resources?
I have mine around 30Mb for storage and 25Mb for programs. I still have plenty of apps installed but mostly on my storage card.
Do you have any games (apart from the builtin solataire etc) installed in main memory? They can usually take up a least a few meg unless they're basic games with no fancy graphics.
its going OK now - with the exception of the camera software being crap.
I only have the standard games now.

Elf + Opera 9.5 = Low memory issue

Hello,
I'm user of elf (MDA Touch) and I use Onyx 3.0 ROM. When I launch Opera it's ok, but when I use it for about 15 minutes it shows a warning message, that says „the phone is low in storage memory“ or something (i think it means low RAM?). How to solve this issue?
Thanks
I too have opera 9.5. I use both the opera browser, as well as the IE browser (interchangeably). From what I see, whenever you surf web pages that has a lot of content (especially alot of images), the phone stores the data, even after closing the web pages. What I have to constantly keep doing is, delete the history, cookies & cache to free up the space, which eliminates the low memory messages, until the memory gets full again. It seems like after 4 to 5 large web pages, then I get the message of low memory. I sometimes get a critical low message (LOL).
For me, this is a big pain in the butt, and unfortunatly, I don't know any ways around it. Maybe there is a software that can monitor, and maintain a certain amount of space, to prevent this problem from happening; maybe we can start there.
Also maybe someone else could chime in with a solution.
i've seen opera running on both Elf and Elfin... it works without a glitch on the Elfin
but problems appear when i use it on Elf... same memory problems :S
we just need a good application that can free up (a loooott) of RAM...
As far as I have understood it's mainly the cache that eats up your memory. I found a way to store Opera cache on the storage card (well, I found a guide on the internet). It worked great untill I had a couple of tabs open (I guess tabs are stored in phone memory). But it helped a lot storing the cache on the storage card.

Yes! We need something that could monitor, and delete (if selected) the cache files on the fly (automatically) to maintain a certain amount of memory.

Moving cache to SD won't help much. Main problem is that Opera keeps thumbnail of page and it's full view in RAM. Wait for release of Fennec (Firefox Mobile), maybe it will work better.
Your total solution

This thing even plays youtube videos directly.

Ran out of memory already?

Hi All,
This is my second day with the phone, and i've already ran out of memory.
I have installed facebook panel and slideshow panel and google maps. That's all.
I've sent a couple of emails and received a few texts.
My stats show:
Storage:
Total 283.20 MB
In Use 283.20 MB
Free 0.00 MB
Program:
Total 200.48
In Use 74.82
Free 125.66
Any idea how I can free up some room?
Have you been browsing alot? If so clear out your cache.
Yes, i've been browsing a lot. Mainly facebook in the evenings. I've cleared out the Opera and IE cache... still maxed out though...
Also, there is 24MB (approx) worth of music installed in the stock rom. see my documents\my music
thanks for the reply. I will make sure i delete it all!
Also, do i need to regularly delete text messages to ensure i save space?

Text messges take up next to nothing unless you have thousands?
I really don't know why you have so much mem taken up on your handset. I have the same installed as you along with TomTom, G-Alarm, Finger Keyboard 2 etc and I have about 103 Mb free. There must be something going wrong somewhere. Do you have all pics and movies shot with the cam getting stored on the MicroSD? Is something installed on your MicroSD saving on your internal memory maybe?
Vids
I don't know about you but on my Voda UK Xperia there was almost 50MB of vids too on the internal memory, (A James Bond trailer and some jazz vids) I got rid of those. Removed the crappy music that was on there, deleted some of the images in the pictures folder.
Even after over a month and with all my apps installed to the internal memory, blackstone volume, taskmanager, mp3trimmer, dialer and even some custom mp3 ringtones, I STILL have 139.20MB free.
Edit: P.S. and you storage is actually a bit larger than mine: Mine only registers at 277.85MB total. My program memory is hte same though, 200.48Mb.
wow, max out the phone storage~
Well, it's sorted. I restarted the phone, which took it down by 1mb or so which gave me enough memory to start clicking programs.
I think it is because I went to the youtube website and it started buffering a video via the 3G connection (that is when the problem started).
I deleted all the temp internet files and it's corrected itself now (i hope).
Install stuff on the memory card, perhaps? Leave the faster internal mem for cache stuff hehe

Something is eating my internal memory...

Something is eating my internal memory. I'm aware of the BT issue, but I don't use BT... it has to be something else. Any pointers on how to track this down?
What do you mean by "eating"?
Apps and app data use internal memory.

Yeah. but not at 5mb/day when I don't install anything.
I have also seen this. For example. I was up to 115 meg now I am at 100 meg with the same apps installed. I do use BT but I also know when I need to flush out the core files so that is not the issue. What I have noticed is when I use the browser or set up my email account is when I see the drop. I have gone to apps and deleted cache but have also learned when I do that on Mail, Browser and contacts I lose all my contacts, mail settings and bookmarks. I cannot believe those would eat up 10 meg of space. If I keep using these programs will my internal memory keep getting lower and lower. I also just started using peep yesterday, and that is when it dropped from about 105 to 100.
You can empty the browser cache by going into Settings in the Browser and hitting "Clear cache."
Go into Applications in the Settings menu. Go to all the apps you use, and hit "Clear data" Problem solved.
someone should make a app that does this automaticly if there isnt one yet.
I had this same problem. I went back to Best Buy and got a new replacement. The new phone even had the EVDO Rev A, instead of the Rev 0, and the new one has "with Google" on the back.
I have read that there were a large bad batch of these phones, and that there were issues with them.
I also read that there are also other issues involving SMS/Text and Bluetooth that may or not be related to this.
If you can, go to where you bought it and get a replacement, if at all possible.
Just my thoughts!
The phone I have does have Rev 1 and with google on the back so I don't think that is my issue. I also have no dust problem. I just see the memory drop daily and unless I go and clear cache daily it won't come back. This should not be nec IMO. There is not much left on the phone with nothing installed and seems to me using APP2SD we should not ever fall below 115-110. My wifes Moment has the same apps and she has about 220 left on hers

And which memory because you are talking about installing apps when that has nothing directly to do with operating memory.
Installing on mem card doesn't "save" anything in this regard.
I'm also low on Storage-mem on the phone - even though I install programs on the memorycard whenever possible (and of course put my pictures, music and videos on the mem-card as well!).
I have 177mb free Program-memory on the phone but only 9.3mb storage-mem.
This makes programs such as the YouTube-app very unhappy as it seems to only be able to cache to internal storage-memory :-(
On older versions of WM you could change how the phone used it's internal memory with a slider in settings.
The phone also seemed to adjust this automatically as it became necessary.
Now however it seems that this possibility is gone (both manual and automatic adjustment).
I hope it is only my ignorance speaking so here's hoping that someone has a solution to this problem (fingers crossed)

If you have used up storage mem then that's it but what have you installed to use it.
Mine shows 152Mb storage and 252Mb program memory free. 27 apps installed and everything running fine.
Do you install a lot of application from the Marketplace? If so, this defaults to install on internal memory
I have exactly the same issue, and it's very frustrating. Pretty crazy really as I can't use the phone for anything that uses device storage. No youtube, no media busy web pages and some apps refuse to run smoothly, or at all.
Like you, I'm always having to delete Opera & IE's cache files just to keep the phone functioning! I've also deleted all my Co-Pilot files on the card and the device - this helped a little and gave me another 5 or 6 MB of device space.
With all cache's cleared and around 30 programs installed (all on the card) I now only have 7.8MB of free device storage, which disappears within a few minutes when using Opera.
Out of the 336MB of program storage I have filled 153MB with 182MB free - I wish I could control how much memory is allocated to the program memory and device memory.
Very strange...I have any large applications like games, copliot etc installed on my SD card, only small apps on my internal memory...
Total storage: 200.15MB
Used storage: 119.99MB
Free storage: 80.16MB
Total program: 336.93MB
Used program: 170.54MB
Free profram: 166.89MB
i have a 16 meg Ram Disk (see the 'ram disk' thread ) and my system temp folders and caches, plus opera cache have been moved to it. Opera now runs really fast, and the cache is no longer taking up the storage memory, plus when you soft reset it clears out the cache too.

Wow thats so confusing!
Just tell us
Storage memory (where the apps are installed)
Program memory (where the apps and OS run)
You should have plenty of mem to install ail your apps and run them without a problem.
Try installing them all to phone because you have enough mem

I have since day 1 installed all my programs to the memory card apart from a couple of programs and hotfixes which I though would be smarter if I installed to the device - but these are tiny. I have also set my marketplace to default to the memory card and removed all co-pilot files and set all podcasts to the microSD too.
Total Storage: 200.27
Used Storage: 191.48
Free Storage: 8.79 (whohooo, that's much bigger than normal!)

I really have no idea what's using all my internal storage.
Yep - that's about the same for me.
Only a few apps are installed directly on the phone (the ones that install without letting the user decide where they want them) so what's hogging my phone-storage is beyond me...
But I really don't need close to 200 mb of program-memory, is there really no way to use some of this memory for storage - as was possible with earlier versions of WM?
Have you tried importing to PC, such as pictures and other things, using Windows Mobile Centre?

I can't help but think that you've missed the point - when the storage memory is full the phone ceases to function properly!
It uses this area of storage for the cache files for the browser and for applications such as you tube. When I start the youtube app, if it opens at all, it will say 'Critically low on system memory...etc' and shut down after playing a few seconds. If I have many tabs open in opera the same memory problem occurs.
The 'Device Storage' partition is full (with what I don't know) whilst the 'Device Program' partition is almost empty. We have no control over what sizes those partitions are. Maybe i've got it all wrong but either way it's really limiting the usefulness of the phone.

yes there is. as I mentioned in post 9, I use a ram disk for my temp files and cache. lives in program memory but shows up as a (fast) memory card.
search for the ram disk thread.
also, as regards figuring out what is taking up all the space, use a file manager (don't forget to unhide all files) and search for everything over....say....1 meg.

The 'Device Storage' partition is full (with what I don't know) whilst the 'Device Program' partition is almost empty. We have no control over what sizes those partitions are. Maybe i've got it all wrong but either way it's really limiting the usefulness of the phone.

No I haven't missed the point, I just don't get the problem and I'm trying to figure out why not?
And that would help you. Something is causing certain phones to behave this way. I use youtube and opera and never have to clear out anything.
I currently have 36 apps showing on my start menu screen and memory is showing as Storage 152.13 Mb free and program 313.80 Mb free.
I run Titanium (not manilla UI) and I have LeoLite ROM installed.
Something in that setup is causing the phone to respond differently!
