So, i havent seen anything about this.
but my phone puts about 2gb of things on the SD card. i have about 2gb of music and photos but 4gb of the sd card is being used.
i pulled all my files off and formatted the SD card before and at first it was fine but 5 min later the card was about half full again, any reason why?
Swap file cache maybe?

Is it possible the phone is just thinking backup files are still on the SD?

Cache files usually. Is you file browser set to view system/hidden files? Lots of folders start with a period as file names.

Use cache cleaner NG should hopefully resolve the issue.

Just wanna ask, which is better, 32MB swap or 256MB swap? Also I've read somewhere swap size was supposed to be RAM x 2, but then again that would be pretty huge.
Neither, and 2x amount of RAM is only fitted for PC's. In reality it should be 1,5x. I myself tried using SWAP, but it slowed down my SD card a lot (reading, writing speeds). I suggest you should disable the SWAP completely because SGY has got a very good RAM management by default, thus no need for SWAP. I myself never ran into RAM-related issues. Also, as you know, SWAP is A LOT slower than RAM.
just use 256 bro.
I'm using 256 MB. Is stable with a2sd.
I'm afraid to try this one...i've read some threads about it, and is it safe for me to do it even if my sd card is not class 10?, sorry im just a newbie
When using swap the lifetime from sd card will go down.
GREEEEEEEEEETZ!!!
Does link2sd support for swap?

Yes, link2sd support swap but you Kernel must support swap to work.
Hi guys,
I have a 1gb sd-ext partition that is nearly full, what with all the apps I have...
I also have another sd-ext partition created. Does anyone know if it can be used to keep apps there and use them, like how we use from our regular sd-ext.
Any ideas/thoughts if this is even possible ?
Thanks,
Greg.

Why don't you just enlarge your nearly full ext partition? I believe gparted can do this without wiping it. It may take a lot of time, though.

Yes, that's a possibility, but i read somewhere on xda that having 1.5gb or above creates issues?

Then don't make it larger than 1.5GB Some people say 1.5GB, others say 2GB. And it *can* become unstable, it doesn't have to. Don't know the facts about it.
I have 2gb ext4 on my N1 without troubles.

I see my phone says that its 8 GB on the storage page, but then why does only 4GB show up as useable? Is there any way to change this also is there a way to install apps to SD card?
As far as I know only the dev edition with an unlocked bootloader will free that 4 gigs up. The retail RAZR m has the internal memory partitioned. 4gig for the OS and 4 gig for user app storage.

So APPS2SD isnt working on retail one?
I haven't had any luck with an app for moving apps. I've just shuffled them with root browser.

The way motorola set up the storage directories tricks app data to be placed on the internal storage. Its named sdcard. Then you got sdcard1 which is your actual sdcard. Its easy to move your music, pics, videos or movies onto the sdcard. However large amounts of additional game data is installed in internal. Should you move the data to sdcard1, the games won't detect them (with bards tale being the only exception). Moto did this on purpose to get you to buy their other droid with slight hardware improvements and larger storage areas. Now, to truly move data to the sdcard, you will need to gain root and install an app called directory bind. Which allows you to move data over to the actual sdcard using directory path manipulation.
IIRC its the norm to store data on internal sd in android... Not just a Motorola marketing scheme

I do not know why Sony want to keep 200M RAM
For example, even though I open a lot of programs, RAM uses about 70%. Then automatically kill other processes because RAM limit is reached., And I installed gameloft Vegas, but I could not play the game because insufficient RAM

It is used for system apps. You don't want to lose messages or calls when you play games do you?

In my friend's Sony Live With Walkman mobile free ram is only 43 and he was able to play Vegas without any problem...
Not sure if this helps but if you are rooted and you have ext SD card you can use link 2sd to move all apps to ext SD card and use folder mount to move game data to ext SD this will give you back more ram and storage space on device.
I use both of these and look at my ss

For both of these apps to work you need root.
Both of these apps are available on the play store.
For guide to use link 2 SD follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326.
For using folder mount use this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122
Foldermount is free but limited to 3 active folders the pro version is available from with the app.
I found Foldermount is easier to use.
I moved all these files to ext SD card NFS most wanted, NFS shift,asphalt 7,real racing 3,reckless racing 1 and 2 and reckless gateaway.

To really answer your question, It is not Sony's fault nor Google's, the 200MB ram are used by the Linux kernel. All the kernel is loaded into the memory, it is the same for ALL operating systems. Windows do the same (you can see it in Task Manager under the Performance tab : "Kernel Memory"). You can't do anything against that except if you rooted your phone and you want to build a kernel, but you won't gain much memory for the pain...
The problem with this phone killing process is not because of RAM (it has plenty of it), but the latest Android versions doesn't allow too many Applications open at the same time (I remember something like 3 in Foreground... The V6 Supercharger thread has a good explanation )
From My Friend's Xperia T with Android 4.1.2 .. Sony increased the User Memory upto 870 MB... In ICS it was only 650 MB If we get an update like that means good..
I mean, in the free RAM, there are 200M is not available.
For example，if you wipe all data
total RAM 766M
system apps always used 366M
400M free
However, there is in this 400M，200M unavailable
When you free RAM reaches 200M, the system will kill the other processes in order to keep 200M free.

If you don't want to pay for the foldermount, you can do it manually, using symlinks, it isn't that hard.
