phone running out of space?? gmail taking a while to refresh?

my N1 is saying its running out of space. anyone runnin into a space issue too? what did u do? i dont think i have that many apps installed. i uninstalled the ones i didnt really need.
when i check SD Card/Phone storage settings, says my phone's internal storage available space is 19.07mb >.< is that low....
also, for gmail syncing, is it me or does it take like a while to sync...?

If you are running a custom rom try moving large apps like Flash to your SD card. Also clear your browser cache. Deleteing old sms's will help also.

no custom rom. stock 2.2.1. moved what i can to SD. 32.75mb now =3

did you try removing browser cache?

removing browser cache was what increased it to 30 something mb =3 lol
is there any way to save text messages =3

Try this out for backing up SMS: code.google.com/p/android-sms/ (I can't post live links yet.)

SMS Backup & Restore from the Market

does it get saved on the sd or on the phone?

20mb is the limit for the low space warning.

removed some some unused apps again. now at avail space 48.70mb. is that good? what does everyone else have?
did the backup thing... went thru my 17k+ msgs since i got phone in august. xD

Everyone else mostly has custom ROMs with Apps2EXT, which equals pretty much unlimited space for apps.

???? apps2ext??

I hover around 25mb-30mb free space usually. I also have a bunch of games I could uninstall since I only every play maybe 3 of them.

Every time I got the low space warning it was from having way too many windows going in the browser.

[Q] Install apps on ext sd

Hello,
Is there any way that I can install apps directly on the external storage card? and how?
The problem is I am using Navdroyd and Copliot with all their maps that take a lot of space on the interanl storage card.
Any adice?
Thanks
Airey toi inssist, anyons can help please

Any1???
How can i force to install app on SD????

Nope, honeycomb doesnt support apps2sd function.
But one way you could free up some space (about 300mb, varys on each rom) is by converting user apps to system apps in titanium backup. This will take up a lot of unused rom space and free up internal storage space.
When you open up titanium backup, on the very bottom it tells you how much free rom space you have.

Thanx Man.

I am using Link2SD from the market. It is a little difficult to get all set up but once you do it works great.

Keep in mind when you update your ROM (custom or OTA), it'll wipe any applications you converted to system apps. Since they will then be located in /system/apps.

How do I set up links2sd?

I should go back and edit each incident where I mention Link2SD and change the recommendation. I might mention it again. But I can't recommend it anymore. It does work, but the performance cost was terrible after a short time.
Anyway, all that I did was to follow the direction at the apps market page to a 't'. I would suggest that if you decide to give it a go. Consider leaving the app control to manual, and be selective about which apps you want to move to sd. When I only had a few apps moved it seemed ok. Once the list became more populated my tab started being very slow with quite a few errors and even lockups. To top it off reversing the process was an awful mess. I ended up having to wipe my tab to get it back to normal.
The sad part to me is that I can almost fill up my 16gb tab with the just the games that I own. No way I can install them all and have room for much else. Funny, that's the whole reason I wanted a tablet with external storage. I kinda think that the sd card feature was completely misrepresented.

[Q] Where did my app storage go?

I've run out of app storage space on my phone. Its given me a low storage space warning and wont let me install anything else until I remove something.
I use apps 2 sd pro which was the free app on amazon a long time ago. It is telling me that I have 39.04MB available out of 498.38MB total on my phone. I have moved every possible app that will let me to my sd card. The are 40 apps that are left on my phone though that can not be moved and are the standard things I always use and dont want to get rid of. Things like maps, market, music, flash, etc.
I've added up the size of all of the apps installed to the phone storage and it comes to about 162MB. How are 162MB's of apps taking up 498MB of space. Where did the other 336MB go?

Epic will raise "Low memory" warning when phone has less then 50Mb of free memory.
Clearing the cache for some programs will make it go away.
Open Samsung program manager and it has all stats for available memory on the last two tabs.

The other 336 MB is the operating system and system apps.

I thought the phone had 1GB of ROM though. And that about 500MB of it was for the OS, and the other 500MB was for apps. Is this not how it is? Is it only 500MB of ROM and I only get about 160MB for apps after the OS takes the rest of the space?

The Galaxy II has the 1G, we get 512MB.

If you are using a froyo rom, you can install an app called move2sd enabler, follow the instructions and it will make more apps able to be moved to the sd card, rescan with apps2sd and it will do the rest.

I wonder the same thing. I moved all my apps to the SD card using Titanium Backup,but still running low on space on the internal memory. So the question is what is taking up the memory? If you look at a app in Manage applications you see the storage breakdown. Total,Applications,Data,Cache, and their respective sizes. Here is the deal, you can move your applications to the sd card but the data stays on the internal memory. The data is all your preferences for the app like saves for a game or bookmarks in a browser,things like that. To find more room on internal memory find a cache cleaner in the market. Delete Pictures on your messaging they too are stored in internal memory. Hope this is helps

There is no option to install apps on your sd card with Titanium. It only backs up a copy of your apps. You need to go into Settings>applications>manage applications and click on every app and move them to sd/usb storage that allows you (not greyed out).

Titanium has a batch option to move all apps2sd or internal memory.

Thanks,
I didnt know about the batch option to move to apps2sd, i just did it one at a time.(long press on the app in Titanium brings up the option) Just remember don't put apps that use widgets on SDcard.

I would be careful using titanium to move apps to the sd card. Some apps just can't be moved to sd card, widget apps will break if not in internal memory, and a lot of system apps can't be moved from the system side of the rom. Titanium doesn't care it will move everything if you tell it to weather it breaks it or not. Just saying use care if using titanum to do this.
I'd start with settings, applications, manage, then the sd option at top. Move everything you can that way first before going to other options to move apps.
Also if you use a particular app often it will run faster if left in phone memory then off the sd card.

Use adb or terminal emulator and check /data/log for dmp files. I've had to clean up several times and did the trick.

I thought I had a lot of apps...still haven't ran out of room on the epic. But I do have to say I don't have many games.

you can save some space by using the option in Titanium Backup to merge updates for system apps.

I have this same problem too. I deleted a lot of unused Apps and moved any others to SD. I do not have the option to clear cache from any App. I even deleted all my messages and entire call log and still says internal memory is full. When I add up all my Apps memory its less than 150MB. Its really annoying. Out of curioiousity what ROM is everybody with this promblem running?

check /data/log you may find some dump files that need to be deleted.

[Q] Titanium Backup not backing up the big games

I ran a batch Titanium Backup today as I'm about to wipe, but noticed it did not backup the big games such as Horn, Asphalt 7 and Mass Effect Infiltrator. For example, Horn is 1.73GB but it only made a backup as an 8MB apk file. According to Root Explorer the TB folder is only 573MB big, with Anomaly Warzone earth being the biggest backup in there at 151MB.
Is there a setting in TB I can configure, or does TB just not support backing those games up?
Would like a way to backup these games so I do not have to re-download them. Thanks!

How well does Titanium Backup handle external storage now?
I can't imagine backing those big games up on the device.
I don't really have room for one copy...

Try "backup app external data" and change the max size limit?

I changed that setting to Enabled (Always) but didn't make proper backups still.
I'm just going to manually backup/restore the /sdcard0/Android/ folder and hope it works, most of the large game data seems to be in there.
edit: One thing I noticed about these problematic games is they store most of its data in an area called "USB Storage app" when viewing its app info, maybe TB doesn't know how to process that yet.

I've set the backuplocation to my mounted USB stick and it does the job pretty good.
Only 1 big game didn't backup, NFS most wanted, will have to check for that asap. All the other stuff went perfect (also some other big games).
Maybe it is indeed a problem with the location that some apps/games use to store their files.

I've had the same problem as you before. Normally I run a batch backup for all the apps except these games directly to USB storage and then backup the games one by one as they take more than half an hour each one to backup. As for external data I have never put any limit and besides the long time it takes to backup I haven't had any other problems.

Ok, for NFS most wanted he only makes a backup for the game data, not the game itselve.

Setting up TB Pro on my tablet (installing the latest update with menu button in corner), I noticed the same - a small backup size compared to what I'd have expected for one of my games. Checking, came across the default setting for Backup app external data set to "Enabled if it's smaller than a chosen size". Looking, I don't see where to set this "chosen size". After selecting always enabled, the size backed up increased...
Several questions:
Where is this size setting if I want to change it - not finding it under preferences?
When backing up "external data", what exactly is being included/excluded if over that size - all user data for that app or ?
Is external data considered the same as the app data (except what's on the sdcard,etc rather than in internal storage)?
- On my tablet, "sdcard" is part of my 32GB internal storage but TB appears to treat it as external (vs the actual removable sdcard in my slot).
Thanks for any clarification - want to make sure I'm getting everything and understand it fully!

Internal Memory Issue

Hi,
Not a biggie, more a frustration that I don't understand.
Is this correct with regard Internal Memory.
Am I missing something
I can't see how I am using over 12gb of memory, I don't have video, music etc on the phone that I know of, Titanium is around 1 Gb which seems normal. CWM backup is around 500MB.
1. Is there a way to see what is using my memory?
2. What can I safely delete to free up memory if needed?
Many thanks as always.

Have you checked the partitioning? I don't know how or why it would be altered, but there seems to be a discrepancy between the visual bar graph (which shows mostly gray = free space) and the actual space it reports to be available.

Thanks for the quick replies,
My second picture was taken when I run Clean Master and shows that I only have 6% free.
I have run and posted the SD Maid, which shows I have only 700MB left.
The graph on my first pic 'the grey bit' shows loads of space. And adding up segments it totals about 4GB .so in theory I should have loads left.
The only issue is that I get low memory warnings when I creeps over 95% and I can't see what is using up the memory to clean/clear it.

Perhaps you can do a factory reset and see if the problem persists. Backup your important data first.

As much as I have been avoiding this I have wiped and factory reset and I am back to 10GB in use and 2ish available.
Still not convinced and still confused as to what is causing it.

Factory reset only deleted internal data. Try also wiping data from recovery. Backup your stuff first.
