My fascinate states that it has 0 bytes of internal memory. How do i fix it?
Look HERE for that. I do not have any personal experience with that issue. Looks like all data and cashes were not cleared properly. And maybe someone will stroll by that has been able to solve that issue with experience.
good day.
Wipe data in recovery if I remember correct

Voodoo lag fix I think causes this problem. I had same issue took off voodoo and back to normal. I think voodoo isn't worth the trouble.

I'm running JACxROM1.5r4. For the most part its a nice rom, love the look. Problem is sometimes it gets choppy and I wonder if moving my apps and dalvik-cache back to internal memory (not really needed with twice the memory now) it would help eliminate some of the chopyness. With that said, anyone know how to do it? I tried lucid's script but that crashes the phone and causes bootloops after.
I've been having quite a big problem recently. Something has been sucking internal memory like crazy. I've flashed several ROMs and still have the same problem of the low memory alert.
I flashed another ROM today and had 144MB of internal memory at noon. Now, without downloading any apps or doing anything major, I now have 133MBs for internal storage. I've currently been using a2sd because iGo is a total space hog and its better than the native gps app imho (doesnt seem to lose GPS signal every few minutes)
The other issue I'm having is the GPS. Its pretty much crucial to me right now because I've been going from Thousand Oaks to LA and everywhere in between and have only found two ROMs that I dont have GPS problems with. Those: EE4.0 and Aloysius
However, both of those have been giving me the low memory warning constantly and I cannot recover space no matter what I delete. I tried deleting iGo (a huge app) and it only accounted for a few MB (the full app is over 20)
I'm quite confused and have never had this problem before.
I've searched the web and it seems theres no solution available at the moment and Froyo takes care of it.

Well, about the internal memory storage, it could be your cache. Try downloading an app called CacheMate; I'm not sure about the free version, but the paid version has a 'Power Clear' option that clears ALL the cache on your phone. It usually clears about 8-14MB of cache everyday.
Also, 11MB really isn't really a big deal at all, as it will function just as well with 133MB as it will with 144MB.
After the froyo update my phone has slow 30 sec delay moments. doing anything from opening the camera to opening the Internet. sometime pausing when scrolling Internet or phone menus. that kind of thing.
should i perform a reset?
I looked in the phone and it has an option:
factory data reset?
and some options backup my data
automatic restore
I did a titanium backup but there are a lot of backed up things, but i suppose i could work my way through.
My questions:
do i need to perform some sort of reset?
What kind (hard soft there seems to be a few options )
and how do i do it?
What do the backup my data /autobackup options in settings do?
Many Thanks
wipe data, wipe cache
then restore only user apps
and maybe user data
do not restore system apps/data
if it still give you problem after a while
repeat and only restore user apps, with no user data
it might be the user data that has gone corrupted
a way to find out if that is the case is by reading the logs....
any DEV guru will know what to look for (not me)
I was told i had DB corruption in another occassion when we were debugging a new app, and after killing everything and only restoring apps, the phone was stable and the random bugs were gone after that
Cheers for the extra info.
How do wipe the data and cache again?
No need to wipe?
Hi,
May be worth a try, i recently had the same issue on my stock galaxy s running froyo, after trying many things i read on a website about the galaxy s not being great on apps2sd, well as i have about 60 apps, i decided to move them all back to the phone and straight away it was fixed!!!! it used to freeze when i woke the phone up for about 20 to 30 seconds and while browsing and now its back to normal, if you have apps on your micro sd card, you can check this issue by installing os monitor, when it freezes open the os monitor and it is kswap0d that is using 70% to 98% of cpu causing the lag, don't know why this happens but it was very frustrating!!!!! hope this helps you anyway.

Boot into Recovery Mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Recovery_Mode
Then select the option to wipe data, also wipe cache
Cheers for the extra info. I had a look at your wiki yesterday. I liked the links to the stress testing videos. I guess I can't use a craft knife as a stylus .
Just few minutes ago. I installed OCLF (one click lag fix) from the android market and it seems to sort everything out. And quadrant benchmark test.
Is oclf safe?
People are saying that the way the galaxy s stores data causes problems, that oclf fixes.
Helo all. Recently my desire z randomly reports that my gallery has no pics in it and usually sorts its self out after a quick reboot. Seems to happen randomly.
Starting to wonder if its a sign of a failing mem card?? Or internal mem problem?? Everything else seems fine ( apps ext...)

Your sdcard is formatted with the horribly unreliable and obsolete vfat filesystem, in order to make it compatible with all the flunkies who are stupidly using mswondoze as an operating system on some computer that they might want to connect with their phone. NOTORIOUSLY UNRELIABLE. The reboot is causing the filesystem to be scanned and repaired.
1 - 2GB seems to be an upper limit on the RAM. When I clear apps from task list, it always says X of ~1.8GB. Anyone else have this issue?
2 - Experiencing random restarts, probably once every few days. Couple of times happened during a Skype conversation but probably chance. I thought it might be RAM related (above), but it doesn't always happen after long run-times.
3 - Using most audio apps I get a mini-stutter. The only workaround I've seen is PowerAmp increasing buffer size which eliminates it for that app. This does seem to be linked with RAM usage as clearing app list and force closing the audio app to restart will get rid of it. Anyone else?
I've tried clearing both cache through TWRP, hasn't helped. I had to clear data previously through TWRP and re-install an A2017 image which I then rooted. Possibly something got messed up, my only other thought is to restore to stock and to see if it continues.
Any other ideas, or does anyone have the same issues?
Thanks for the help.

My A2017G was restarting randomly daily, would freeze even when changing font size... it was a dud!
After trying numerous factory resets and just using all stock apps (did not load any apps from Google Playstore) it still was problematic. I contacted ZTE through Facebook and built a written account of the problems and their reply.
Then I took my phone and print outs of ZTE's replies to the retailer and they replaced the phone. My replaced one works fine.
I have heard that if you have enabled Developer Options do not enable Force GPU or any hardware options as this may cause deeper issues.
So in short build a case around your phones faults and take it back for replacement. No phone in 2016/2017 should be this dodgy during normal use.

Will be somewhat problematic as I took a gamble with an aliexpress order, but will try and see if they help. Thanks.
But I'm interested if besides restarts, other people have had the same issues, namely:
* Limited RAM availability (2 of 4GB)
* Occasional stutter on audio (posted this on reddit as well, got like 8 upvotes but no solutions, so I suspect it's not just me).
