Just to clarify I am not talking about the storage in the device.
I have noticed ever since I have got this mytouch that the internal memory is low. Sometimes its around 17m and creeps up to 21m at times. I have looked at other peoples devices that are not rooted and have noticed way higher memory available sometimes in the 40m. I am seeing this using advance task killer or even linda file manager shows this available memory number. My device is rooted with the latest 4.2.8.1 mod. I have an 8gig sd card partitioned in 3 portions and one of the portions is a Linux swap file thinking that this would help it run smoother. I look at the running apps in the advance task killer and some of the time there is 4 apps running. I kill all of them and it boost up to 28m But then later on it comes down to 20m. I have heard people having up to 70m on their devices. I have never seen that ever since I have had this device. Has anyone heard of up to 70m before on a mytouch? Maybe I am hearing lies or whatever but this is confusing with the internal memory and what it should be and what people have seen and what I have seen on my device.
So my question is what should the advance task killer say is normal for memory available on the mytouch if all apps are closed besides advance task killer? Has anyone ever seen 70m here? If you have 70m then tell me what the heck are you running? I am not happy with sometimes seeing 17m and the device is slow as a turtle. Is there a way to use a part of my external sd memory card as internal memory within this os. I dont think the swap file is the trick to gain more memory for the device to use when more memory is needed internally.
Strange my rooted phone has 39M right now...

hope this helps you
if your device is running slow...something is def wrong....i just got my wife a new phone (same as yours) its rooted running the latest cyanogen mod...no theme on it...and it fast!
her mem show anywhere between 25~40 when advanced task killer is used
hope that helps...
maybe a wipe and re-flash will get you running faster.

I am currently running cyanogen 4.0.4 on a myTouch, I had about 70-80 applications installed on the phone and started to see a huge lag issue. I recently wiped the phone and started everything from fresh and the phone is working the way it should be. I have a 16GB SD card and looked into Apps2SD but is that the only option I have to run my applications on my SD card to keep my phone performance the way it is now?
Does anyone have any input?
apps2sd wont make much of a difference. i have 130 on mine and it runs fast. do you use setcpu or overclocker widget or anything like that?
So...I am running Fresh 1.1, and I flashed Madaco's new kernel...then I enabled compcache.
Ever since flashing the new kernel, my Taskiller widget (which now shows how many MB's of memory you have available) will start at about 94mb when I power on my phone. Throughout the day, as I use taskiller to close programs, the memory doesn't go back to 94mb, but slowly goes down. First it'll go to 90mb...than 88...than 82....than 66...and all the way down to 54. It decreases each time I use the taskiller saying that my maximum freed up memory is only at 54mb, when in the morning it started at 94mb.
Can anyone help me with this? or help me figure out why it might be doing this? Sorry if the description of what's happening is kind of confusing, but I don't know how to explain it any clearer.
Thanks for any help given!
You really shouldn't be using TasKiller. Find out why here: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Uninstall TasKiller and you should be fine.
I use it cause the apps build up and kill my battery.
I stopped using any task managers for 2 weeks and my phone never really got any faster it actually was much worse when using the keyboard so I tried using them again and it's not as laggy anymore I don't really know how true that is I believe Fresh but it didn't help me
I've read about not using taskiller elsewhere, but I swear it makes a difference. Whenever I am experiencing lag, I run it, and boom...the lag is gone. It's not just my imagination either.
But back to the question: Why the heck would the available memory be going down each time I use taskiller?
I get the same thing and I have always wondered this also I will start out with a good amount of memory and later on in the day I might be able to get half of the memory I started with freed up
I am getting an insufficient resources available when I try to transfer information over to USB storage on my S. I checked and it's showing that I have 7 gigs left. Am I doing something wrong?
that seems very weird. i have yet to hear about something of this sort.. this isnt vent helpful but just to show that people care and read your problem! hopefully some one more knowledgeable comes to your rescue.
happy holidays
I know that sometimes my storage info does not update right away (had the same issue with Nexus 1.) I don't know if it is related to the file system management or just the way the OS tracks storage usage but you may actually have less storage than your device is saying you do. Try going to your memory card via astro or any other file manager and delete the trash file and then reboot. I did this last night and my memory usage corrected itself. Hope this works.
thanks for the quick repsonses guys. Astro is showing that I have 7.19 gigs free. So strange.
Just rebooted for the second time and that worked. Thanks guys
How about you try backing up all the important stuffs and reformat if thats even possible.
Are you running stock or a custom boot.img? I noticed on custom boot.img's I was getting insufficient storage errors... I haven't seen a single one since being on stock 2.3.1 rooted.
Don'y know if anyone observed this or not:
My N1 with a2sd enabled consumes more power than without. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as need to access SD requires additional power.
Anyone observed similar pattern with a2sd?
What does it have to do with app2sd?
That just points out what applications you can move to the sd-card.
You can do that without app2sd too...
Mod edit: Let's keep it friendly here, guys.
LOL I have not notice but I have notice a crazy lag to load icon stored on the sd card maybe I need a better class. I been doing ok on battery so far down clocking to 700mhz and flashing it to MIUI but I wouldn't doubt my app2sd drains battery since is probably always scanning to free cache.
Let's keep it friendly in here, guys.
Personally I haven't noticed any battery drain with the Froyo / Gingerbread Apps 2 SD / Apps 2 USB Storage. While that's a little different than the Apps 2 EXT, but I would imagine them both to not use much power at all. Both internal memory and USB storage use NAND flash memory, and it would be reasonable to assume that they use similar amounts of power.
Spx2000, you could have some issue in your particular installation. Perhaps try wiping cache and Dalvik cache and/or do a full wipe and reinstall your ROM.
I think there is a problem with App2SD that seems to have started with an update a few weeks back. In fact, until I started reading the comments here, I had no idea that it might be the cause. My Nexus One has had extremely slow performance and a slow battery constantly for the last month or so. It all started at once. It was around the same time as the 2.2.2 upgrade, but I swore it started a little earlier. Today I went and turned off the option to check downloaded apps in Apps2SD and it seems that my Nexus is back to its old form. Something must be wrong with the App2SD feature that scans downloads. It doesn't show up as the App2SD process slowing down the phone, but you see system load from processes such as init. If you have the problem, I recommend turning off the App2SD option which checks downloads to see if that eliminates the problem.
it is true that if I use the app in SDCard consume more battery?
Greetings all
I have a HD2 running Android. The ROM is DL DesireZ v2 internal. software number 1.72.466.4
I am at an understanding there is a new version out but the flash I have atm is 100% working besides one thing....the phone memory.
When I first flashed it I had loads of phone memory, I think it was like what, 150mb?
But I downloaded lots of apps, even used the Apps2Sd app to save space on the phone memory.
So after a while, I ran out of phone memory, how? I have no idea.
I have deleted all the apps I had and I still have <10mb space on my phone memory and I can not find ANYTHING on the phone memory taking up this space.
Anyone else have this issue?
My gf is going nuts at me over this, she said she may as well have the Win 6.5 back on it, since she had no apps anyways
Cheers,
Gib
yea i have the same problem..
all my apps are installed on my sd card or my ext3 partition.
still i have very little phone memory available.
somehow it looks like the phone is saving the app on the phone but then moving it to the sd card without removing it on the phone memory and causing data loss?
also when updating an app i just lose a lot of internal memory..
how is it possible that there are a lot of people with this problem (i searched the forums) and nobody know an answer to this?
