Hi
I just had an issue of the internal memory is getting full even if I already had the applications and games installed in the memory card
But I wonder if there are any way or tips to optimize the RAM and get as much space as possible ?

Not much besides returning it and complaining the the 500.00+ phone you paid for came with 3.00 worth of storage. Im being generous saying the internal memory is 3.00 its more like 2.00

But there should be away to optimize the RAM coz its totally an clear for the internal memory to get full fast even if I just had only few apps installed. My Iphone have more apps and games installed and I never had an issue with memory

Yes there are many ways. Easiest and fastest download the app: "app to sd" from market and u can move most apps to sd card.
Try that and let me know

Flame the noob, shame on you You don't know jack until someone points you in the right direction. Sure he should have searched a little, but still.
Dude, you got good advice on the apps2sd. The real memory improvements are after you pluck up the courage to root your device, but it's pretty easy. Follow the other posts on same. Then you can check out Titanium Backup from the market, or there is another command you can run if you install the Android Development Kit but it's more techy. Stick to Titanium, it moves most of the game to SD, leaving <1Mb for each. I have loads of games installed & have 150Mb free.
Let us know how you get on...
Thank you guys. I just tried it and it freed around 120MB
I really dont know much about the android and how to handle it properly but really you all are giving a great help and I appreciate it very much
Once again thank you very much

If you learn how to use adb, you can try the command " pm setInstallLocation 2 ", this will force more apps to install to the SD Card and free up even more space
What i can delete on my internal storage? Where are the rings, Demopictures...? I us apps2sd and i have only ~100 MB free. What is adb and how i us it?

I'm not flaming or anything I just want to enlighten the OP.
Ram is not what you are referring to. What you are referring to is the internal storage.
Internal storage = Computer hard drive
Ram is where processes are being run atm. every time you turn off the phone the ram is cleared.
Now like many have said you can use adb and setinstalllocation2. What this will do is install all the applications on your memory card.

First of all check all the apps are on stock apps2sd. Go to settings/applications/manage applications then on the top click SD Card. It will then bring up a list of all the apps that are stock apps2sd conpatable and if theres a tick it means there already on. If no tick click the app then click "Move to SD". Instant more space.
Second uninstall the apps you use least.
Third clear your browser cache. Go to settings/applications/manage applications then scroll till you see Browser click then "Clear Cache"
Forth and finally I would root the phone and uninstall some stock stuff you won't use.
Done.

I have about 293mb free and want to see how I find out what is on the phone, switch it...if possible...to the SD card and free up some spaceon the phone itself.
Is this necessary on a Linux device like the Epic or not? I have red and heard conflicting things. If so, how do I do it? I am rooted.

Free space won't speed up ur phone. Only benefit of apps 2sd is that u can download a bajillion apps. U only need space if ur totally out.

Hey guys I've got an issue, I'm lookin for a way to fix the error for lack of internal space when even within the UI I have More tthan half a gig available. Before actually diving into the Rom and lookin around I figured I'd ask if anyone else has come across, and fixed this. Thanks, Nic

I'm not sure if this is the type of fix you're looking for or not, but I heartily recommend CacheMate. It can clear cache from a TON of apps and free up a lot of internal space. Plus the dev is a cool guy. There's a free version to test if you want.
Thanks man I'll try it I'd actually hit the thanks button but xda app doesn't have one D:

I've read that rooting with Gingerbreak works with the latest update, but also might erase the internal storage. Exactly what part of the internal storage might be erased? EVERYTHING, or just installed apps, ringtones, music, etc...?
Anything on internal storage, if u click on app files and go to internal storage anything there, so if u don't put apps on sd ur fine but some of its files it saves will be gone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
So... basically my best bet would be to make a copy of everything i can onto my computer before attempting the root?
Yes

And..... another question. Is a microSD card actually required for it, or no?

Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yes an external SD card is required. You will be prompted to have one when you first install gingerbreak. I had to go out and buy one.
just copy su file in /osh/bin with some name. your root will be preserved.

I would start getting familiar with ADB. If you know Linux/UNIX at all, you will feel right at home.
Here is the most simple way of increacing your SD card's reading speed.
To getting started,there are three different ways of doing it,first manually,second with cwm, and third with a single app. I will show you the third and easiest way,as there is a thread about the first two.
If you want to check out the first two look this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010807
Requirements : a rooted device.
The only thing you have to do is to download two apps.
First download the "SD tools" to see the scores of your SD card's speed. Well,now run it and do the test.(if you know any other apps to do the same thing tell me and I may add them all).
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools
Now download the "SD speed increase" or "SD-Booster" and open it and set the SD cache at a value.
THE RECOMMENTED VALUE IS 2048.
After rebooting your device this setting will be lost,if you don't want this to happen hit the set on boot button.
Play store Link: SD speed increase, SD-Booster
Now run the "SD tools" again, run the test one more time and see the improvement.
I have a 6 class 8gb sd card and the reading speed increased from 12.6mb/s to 17.1mb/s (see attachments)
Use at your own risk.
P.s please tell me if it worked for you and if you have any suggestion for this guide.
Thanks for reading

Hi,
But why do you want more free RAM? What's the point to having more free RAM?
With Android it is useless... You are happy with 500 Mb free RAM? Well, and about the multitasking?
You think your SIII will be faster, smoother or anything else with more free RAM? This is just the opposite
These kind of threads are....
More free RAM helps me with all my multitasking, I personally use my S3 like a computer, so I would need lots of free RAM
PS. I have over 150 apps from the market installed, before this tweak I only had like 100mb of RAM free now I got like 380mb

Google "how RAM management works in android"
If u do alot multitasking u should not have much free ram becuz all the apps running in backround. If u close backround apps to free some ram that means u just kill the ongoing multitasking ur phone is doing and next time u go back to ur previous app it has to be started again so it actually slowsdown ur phone when ur system actually needs more ram it kills the apps by it self... so no need for that much free ram :/

Sometimes higher is not better...

Ok, and...?
Android doesn't work like your computer (with Windows I presume) it's the opposite
You "would need lots of free RAM", it's for you not that the system needs
You have 150 apps with 100 mb of free RAM and now 380 mb of free RAM with you "tip", other than number of free RAM you see in System Tuner, What has changed???
Just the apps you use regularly/often are killed and when you open them they put so much time after like a reboot because they are not kept in memory...

When browsing the web and playing games on the S3 you'll often find a crash. This is because the device has low memory. Deleting apps that use this resource will help by not wasting the memory ie the RAM.
I think its fair to say that the S3 demonstrates that low ram is a reality. I wish people would stop trying to defend the phone by saying low RAM is wasted. Get over it. It is real. The S3 cannot multitask like the S2 because the ROM is packed full of ****e running which is using up the RAM.
Thanks to the OP for posting this.
and aside from what many people have said on how memory works in android,
take a look at settings > application manager > running > then click the bottom "show cached processes"
for those who like to use 3rd party memory managers they will included these cached processes in killing.
they may kill unnecessary processes but along with it those apps that you always use.
now after killing those cached processes, you will see the system caching a new list of apps and many of them are not the ones you use.
thus memory managers/task killers are just spending cpu cycles in turn battery power killing tasks/apps that you always use and when the system detects the free memory it will load apps into cache and usually those apps aren't the one you use.
thus kills the purpose of those task killers/memory managers of freeing memory since the system will just load apps into memory and cache them.
