Not in Benchs, but in general behavior.
I press back and sometimes makes 2 sec to return to previous screen.And other similar things.
The truth is that I have many apps installed, but this happens when I have 115mb of RAM free, 2gb of SD free and 390mb of Internal storage free.The emmc is at 5gb free.
What could I do to make this better?Is there some defrag app?
Are you rooted? If so, reboot into recovery and format your cache partition, then go under Advanced and clear your Dalvik cache and reboot. It will take a while to boot back into the OS (sometimes 5+ minutes) while it rebuilds the Dalvik, but it will be much snappier from that point forwards.

Hey guys,
I have some doubts in the cache in phone which need your expertise in.
Why is it that sometimes our phone will get sluggish and laggy, and we need to reboot it or clear cache to make it back to fast again? I thought in Android (linux), that ram is needed to run any applications and it does not depend on the space (data storage) we have left in the phone. So what does clearing cache has to do with the performance of the phone?
Thanks for your time.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
I've recently noticed that my phone internal memory getting low (20MB) even though I had partition-ed my memory card to get Apps2SD.
I have a 8-GB card and the setting is (~512 MB EXT3, ~30MB linux-swap) and the rest is FAT32.
have a look at the attachments to analize the the problem.
Did I do something wrong? or this is normal !
regards,
nayyak
It's normal. Data caches fill over time and take up that internal memory. You can regain much of it back by opening up your app manager and clearing the caches of any app that allows, especially things like browsers, gmail, market, etc.
That'll free a bunch up. I highly recommend an app called CacheMate - it does all that with the push of a single button. You can also boot to recovery and clear your Dalvik cache.
Also, if you're rooted and install a bunch or different ROMs without wiping, this will happen.
Thanx for the response
but I've already tried wiping the cache folder and it didn't help coz it gets filled up immediately.
After I enabled Darktremor Apps2SD, my internal memory went from 157 to about 89. Sweet. Unfortunately, I am seeing a marked increase in internal memory used over the past week or so. I am not near any critical threshold, but I am concerned with its rate of growth. Is there any way to "clean it out" besides using CacheMate, which I believe only clears app cache that is in the app file (correct me if I'm wrong).
I have not installed more than 3 apps since the A2SD, and believe all of them are "move to SD" enabled. I verified their location using Astro. I do use web browsers, flip between Dolphin and Opera - still deciding on which I want to keep. I also use Tasker for many things, but I'm far from being a power user. Tasker is on my SD, though the dev claims it won't move to SD. (I'd like to put it back to internal because it seems a little sluggish)
So how do I "clean up" my internal memory? Is it all just factory apps and Dalvik? Can I wipe Dalvik and reboot and find less internal memory used?

Yes, that's exactly what I do whenever I feel the internal memory needs to be cleaned up, or if I uninstall several apps - just to make myself feel like I'm taking good care of my phone - wipe Dalvik and reg caches through recovery, reboot, and voila. It takes a little longer for the phone to boot as it is recreating the cache for the apps you still use but my phone is still running like a champ so I'm happy.
Apps on SD (not ext) are still potentially taking up quite a lot of space, so I personally move stuff that installs to SD to "internal" on my phone, that way it goes to ext, including its data.
Also, the browser seems to cache a lot of data, not just browser cache, but some other stuff, but it's more of an issue with 2.2... but if your Aria is 2.2, try killing the Browser from the Applications list or a task killer and see what happens to /data
Failing that if you're rooted, go look yourself and see what's taking space. For me all of my used space is accounted for in dalvik-cache. If I install many more apps, I'll have to move dalvik to sd.
If your running Froyo then you should look up TA Utility and Move2SD.
TA utility moves your cache to your SD card and Move2SD lets you Move all your apps to the SD card. You got to be Rooted to use these app but I love the space I got now on my phone.

hang on a second ... you say that you have an ext partition on your SD card and all apps are installed there when you select "internal" installation??
That's what a2sd does. It moves the internal applications (and optionally the dalvik cache) to a partition on your SD card. This frees up the internal memory on your phone.
Ok, that I know. I was just confused with your description.
I use A2SD as well but it does not need an ext3 partition. It goes straight to my fat23 SD card.
Then you're not using DT's A2SD which is what this thread is about.
Hi all,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Note 3 (SM-N9005 - stock KK 4.4.2 - XXUFNG2 - not rooted). As you can see in the attached image, the cache size is 1,47 TB!!! Going deeper into this, I found out that it is related to three apps, each with more or less 500 GB of cache.
Two of them are user apps (Office suite and Amazon apps shop) and if I uninstall them the amount of cache is reduced of 1 TB, as expected. The last one is a system app, Google Newsstand, and I obviously can't delete it.
If I clean the cache via usual apps the amount of cache cleaned is "right": about 10-30 MB, no mention of strange TB-sized cache.
Yesterday I did a wipe cache partition, with no results at all.
So the questions are:
- why the amount of the cache is so ridiculously high? Maybe the internal SD card is broken?
- why are there two different values for the cache amount (second image)?
Suggestions are welcome.
Bye, Simon
It could be wrong reported cache that is attached to your account. Stop wonder if your device work normally. Have you tried to clean cache with internal setting (just press on cache then clean).

Sure I did. The wiped amount of cache is about 10-30 MB, that huge gigasized cache remains completely untouched. Actually it seems to be invincible.

It's clearly incorrectly reported cache. No way in hell would our phones have 1TB of memory. If it did then daaaaaaamn.
If after you cleared the cache from Recovery, and used Clean Master to wipe the cache, and it still didn't work, flash stock.
Seeing as how the device only has a 32GB drive, logic clearly dictates this is just a glitch.
Ignore it. You have 12,44GB free.

Yes, this was obvious. I was asking if this issue could be related to a broken internal SD...

Doubtful. It displays the original size and free size accurately. Same SD.
Try emptying the cache through Recovery.
(Shut down the device, press and hold volume up, home and power, let go on the Samsung logo, navigate with volume keys to Wipe Cache Partition, hit the home key to confirm, wait and navigate to reboot now. DON'T click home whilst on Factory Reset/Wipe Data.)

Already done, as I wrote.
Strangely, nothing changed. Now I'm waiting to completely factory-restore the device.

My mistake, thought you meant cleared the cache through settings.
If a reset doesn't work, you can always try reflashing the firmware.
I have experienced this once! It was from changing ROM(Jackaway to Stock or was it the other way around). I was bothered by how I had lesser free space when I had the same apps at that time.
It seems that the emulated path created a copy of everything in my internal memory like the obbs and stuff which were huge. Accidentally discovered it when pressing the back again and again in Solid Explorer. What I did was deleted it there. I lost my files but I had backup so everything was good.
In conclusion, delete the duplicated files in emulated or internal somewhere. Just backup and then manually delete it. And to be even cleaner, factory reset. Hope it helps.
PS. Mine was bigger about 2GB+ lol. Also when restoring, remove the sd card. I hate it when some apps go to sd when restoring. Lol
Dears,
I just bought my S5, suddently unpgraded to Lollipop.
Briefly, I can install 50% of the apps I had before, it's going out of storage.
I did a full wipe after upgrade, so there's no wasted space in the storage.
I couldn't find a partitions scheme, some I'm here to ask if this numbers are normal:
There's a lot of data in the cache, I need to frequently wipe it.
But overall, tapping used space I see in detail 7.5GB of applications, while going to application manager and summing all applications' size I arrive to 3.4GB only: it seems there's 4GB lost somewhere:
Anybody noticed the same?
Where can I check partition sizes for the S5?
Thanks everybody and best regards.
Factory reset after upgrading to Lollipop, KK leaves rubbish files behind and cause more problems than just lack of storage
Also remember now with LP, it uses ART instead of DALVIK, which means app sizes will be bigger
Well, I've been doing it, same problem after several days.
Also, I actually have 350MB of cache, 800MB free, but of I don't clear the cache I can install nothing, Play returns not enough free space...
Possible it partitioned 4GB for "private mode" I forgot to disable it when I rooted and now everything is showing I only have 12GB and trying to find out how to recover that partition and add it back to the internal storage partition currently. Try turning "private mode" on and see if your storage page shows a chunk of space used for that
