Hey everyone I got an atrix for Christmas and I've already run out of application memory. Is that possible? Also I only have 10 gb of internal storage I don't know where the rest of it went. I'll post a screenshot

It says you have a gig and a half? You still have a lot of memory

Yes it is. You have a limited amount of storage for applications. On your phone you have 1.41 GB. Once that is used you have no more room to install apps. Now you also a limited amount for storage for things such as pictures, videos, documents, etc. On your phone it is 10.71 GB. I know what your saying; that is only 12.12 GB. Where is the rest of my 16 GB of internal storage? The other 3.88 GB is where the android OS is stored. It is like a computer. Your harddrive may be 250 GB, but you don't see the full 250 GB because some of the storage space it is hidden since the OS is stored on it.
I didn't think this was possible. How many apps do you have?
Thanks for all the quick response and I think I get it now thank you! And I have about 20-25 apps including shadowgun which is something like 250 MB

You are messing things:
There are several kinds of memory on your phone:
1. RAM partition- its 1GB, which actually you can use 815 MB.
2. ROM partition- Where the OS is stored. its something about 1-2GB.
3. Osh partition- a partition dedicated to the webtop. about 1GB.
4. Apps partition- Where the apps are installed. about 2 GB.
5. Internal storage partition- Where you store all kind of things, like a HDD in a computer. this memory you see when you connect your device to a computer. you have about 10.7 GB.
6. SD card- additional storage memory. external SD card to enhance your storage. its size depends on how generous you are.
Now, apps are being installed in No 4, and generally the heaviesr apps are something like 50 MB tops. to fill your apps memory you will have to install a whole lot of apps, surely more then 30 apps (for instance I have 140 apps installed, including some really heavy apps like shadowgun, MC3, IGO, World of goo and some other, and my apps memory has 1.14GB of free space).
The 250MB data of shadowgun is located generally in the storage memory,and this can run out on you, if you have a lot of music or movies, after all it has 10 GB which is quite a lot.
In your case it seems that you have plenty of memory avalable, both for apps and for general storage...
Hope it clarified something...
Edit:
Changed the word 'Memroy' to 'partition'.

Thanks I guess it was a little bug because when I installed space dog it said insufficient memory

I would avoid using the word memory in these cases, partition is more appropriate.

I have 108M with only Android Live, com.google.android, launcher, taskiller.
What do all of you have?

The N1 has 512MB but is not available until 2.2.
From what I've read we will receive a ram boost with the first update
hopefully thats not all that will be updated in the next patch.
How do you check RAM usage? I can only find my ROM usage/Internal capacity, in the Running services setting.
Doesn't really matter.. hence they don't tell you. Ideally you want almost all memory used because that's the most efficient.. if they put a value up there then people start getting OCD about maximimising unused memory instead of letting the OS do the opposite.
Does the nexus has the same issue as the original diamond whereby if you installed so many apps it would run out of memory ? I can no longer use my youtube app on the diamond as it requests at least 8Mb of memory!
I always get this message:
There is not enough free storage space to run YouTube. Minimum free storage space required is 8MB
Click to expand...

Not being that tech savvy i'm always confused how memory is allocated on the diamond as i still have about 1.5Gb on the "storage card", 28.70MB on the program tab of "main memory" and 7.74MB on the storage tab on main memory!
Why couldn't they just allocate the whole "storage card" to the phone apps etc ?
Essentially i'm asking is the nexus prone to running out of "memory" even though it may have a 32Gb mico SD card with copious amount of room left for apps etc ?
Forgive me if i'm getting totally confused with ram/rom/storage memory!!
cheers for any help.
hope to be a nexus owner soon.
Memory is not the same as storage space. Look at it as you would RAM on your pc. You don't get more RAM if you get a bigger harddrive, right?
It's the same on the phone, it doesn't matter how big of a SDcard you put in it, the memory used for running apps is the same.
And no, I'm pretty certain you will not get the same problems with the Nexus as you've had with your diamond.
cheers SBS........

Wow...that's awesome if true. So how much is it capable of making use of now? 256Mb? Anyone know?
download quick system info
right now it says Memory Total 213mb free 54.94mb.

A lot of people misunderstand how the memory is used, its best to keep all your regularly used apps running and in memory. I pretty much don't force close anything.
So the ram will double up (+ few more) with the next update?
^ yes, this is a limitation of the current kernel, its being fixed and will be pushed in the next update.
yes our phones will run even better soon
Afternoon all!
I just wanted to see what was best for our fascinates or Android in general... What is best to have the aps stored on internal phone memory or the SDCARD? I don't know if it actually makes a difference or not but wanted to check to see what the developers or users though as well.
Cheers!
I leave apps on internal memory because it seems to me that if the phone is having to pull it up from the sd card it will only slow it down... Just my $0.02

Internal.
I tend to run out of sd card memory faster.
I put mine on my SD card. Conversely, I have noticed that if my internal memory is bogged down w/ apps then my phone is slow and laggy. Of course, I have like 100 user apps.

I'm trying half and half... the main ones I use are on internal and others have been moved to SD card.

Just started using the sd card for apps & so far so good. Haven't noticed any hit on performance. Anything that runs a widget should stay in internal memory though.
Sent from my OTB Comm.Rominate
I currently have all movable apps on my sd card. That would be a total of about 81 on sd and 41 on internal memory. My phone doesn't seem to have much lag at all.
My experience has been good with putting all apparel that I can on SD, just read the info in the market for the appear, some won't work right or at all even though they are movable.

Just a question: would moving frequently used apps to the card impact battery life in any way?

Impact? Yes. But you'd be hard pressed to measure it.
On the other hand, SDcards are going to generally be slower than the internal flash storage, even the high class ones. I don't see any reason to move any apps to the SD Card if you're not on the verge of running out of space.

+1 on this. I think you'd have to have like 600+ apps on your phone to use up all the internal memory space.
SO far I've only moved Plants vs Zombies to the SD card. Because that beast is 75mb.
I had all movable apps on the SD Card until I realized that I had tons of space left on my internal memory while I kept running out of space on the SD Card. I recommend leaving apps on internal memory.
This is really bugging me. It doesn't happen in Play Store, but whenever I try to use Dropbox or Titanium Backup I get errors saying that I don't have free space. Even the graph in settings app is kinda messed up, the graph itself is fine but the free space value below says only 4 gigs free, despite the fact most of the graph is empty. In apps like Solid Explorer and Storage Analyser I get 8 gigs free. I tried Googling it and none of the results had any fixes for this. Any help?
You don't have 8gigs free. OS takes up about a gig or so. Titanium back - the ROM you have baked up takes about another gig. Apps, cache, and music should fill you up. One reason why I returned my 8gb.

I have a 16 gb. I have 8 gigs free. Four gigs are allocated to system, and four more I've used up. That's not the issue.
I fixed it by formatting the internal sdcard through TWRP.
I have a 16GB Nexus 4, with a few apps etc installed and now have only 6.8GB.
My question is, is it worth moving to Cyanogenmod to get more available memory.
or is there a way to delete some inbuilt files to get more memory.
Also what is the minimum memory the phone will operate on without causing any problems?

minimum memory? There is not a direct science for that. Try slim roms since they cut out a lot of fat out of their roms. Also there are plenty of files that can be removed to save space but you have to do some research and see what you want and dont want. Root explorer is an app that can delete system files if necessary. Slim has it built into their rom.. Not root explorer but similar software
I know this little laptop has 16gb internal storage, but I only have 800mb worth of apps and it says there is no more space (shows 11gig free under storage settings)
any way to increase the internal app storage?, I have rooted it using VRoot and installed superuser.
if app storage can't be increased then looks like i will be returning it to amazon..............would be a shame as it is a handy little android laptop.
Yes it has 1GB of Internal storage or RAM, and 12GB on the NAND flash storage. So the RAM memory must be getting full.
The solution for me after rooting was to uninstall pre-installed apps I do not or rarely use and to move my large apps to SD if movable. The best app I have found that accomplishes all of these is Clean Master. It does manage memory very well as well, plus it is free on the Play Store.
This Lenovo Laptop/tablet is definitely a keeper for me, even though the screen resolution let it down a bit. My 18month old Ipad - at twice the cost of this Lenovo Ideapad- has been lying unused and will soon be on eBay since I could barely multitask on it.
Good luck.

Good ideas, thanks for the suggestions.
I have just ordered a 32gig sd card from amazon and i have also downloaded Clean Master as you recommended.
I am now going of to the store to find an app to uninstall the pre-installed apps.
As you say the screen resolution is a bit disappointing, but I will give all your suggestions a go and use it for a week with the sd card and see if I can get used to it.
thanks

Grant root access to Clean Master and it will uninstall pre-installed apps and alert when a newly installed app can be moved to SD.

Excellent, my 32gb came this morning (amazon prime) and I have managed to free uo loads of space. I installed move2sd enabler, it will even move apps to sd that normally don't have this option! awesome!
Last question........can i get full screen? when playing a game or reading a magazine the task bar is always there, can I temp remove it?
Install an app called Fullscreen. There is a free version and a plus paid version in Play Store. I find the free version adequate for my needs
