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.

clear cache.. browser usually has 5mb or more.
move apps to SD; froyo style.
Hope that helps.

moved all i could over to sd. uninstalled whatever apps i could. cleared cache.

after rooting and moving all apps to sd why internal memory only 80 mb left

hey guys
I know that this has been asked many times, but what am I missing here, I rooted my play, moved all the apps via titanium to my sd card and I am left with only 80 mb.
I have about 240 apps installed
the biggest apps are 10 of gameloft games and IGO
1- what can I delete to increase internal memory
2- another question when I download apps from the market do apks get stored in the internal memory.
I am really confused about whats the use of moving to sd card if I will only have about 80 mb left in the internal memory.
This means I should start deleting apps, what a bummber as there are many more apps I wanna install

Try clearing caches.
After root I use an app called cache mate for root users.
It freed up a good 40mb for me on its 1st run.

i already did use cache mate
any other suggestions please?

Every app that you install left something on the internal mem, to use stuff like widgets etc, so if you cant live with 80mb (my nexus one is always with around 20mb) you will have to uninstall some of the apps, specially the ones that cant be moved to the SD...

The problem is that there is only one app that is left in the internal memory now and still only 80 mg.

well, perhpads i was not clear enough on my previous post...
no matter if you move all apps to SD, still, each app left a piece of it on the internal mem, if you have 240 apps, and each of them leaves 1mb, then you have 240mb used...
If you want some free mem, the best choice will be to get rid of some of the 240 apps, normally i dont use more than 10 and a couple of games...check what you have installed, probably half of them are junk...

This is what happens when you get a new device & download the world!

[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] I wanna free my Ram a bit

how can I ?

No point
Android will free ram if needed and ram cleaners and anti-viruses often mess this up

]May i ask why you need the RAM? Its android operating system after all if program requires more RAM the system will free enough. You have 1gb free which is more than enough. If you want to free more install some ram killer/cleaner like Clean Master,or uninstall some apps that you dont use. cheers :highfive:

thanks for answers
but it's about the battery, I wanna keep the phone on as much time as I can without needing to charge it
and I thought that all these running apps are consuming the battery and reducing its lifetime

Actually, having apps in the RAM saves battery. It's more battery-consuming to have to read the apps into RAM every time you want to use them. Better have them preloaded in the RAM and always ready-to-use.
They aren't 'running' in the background, but more like 'hibernating'.
If you really want to make sure no apps are consuming data and such in the background, then use Stamina Mode. Also checking which apps are allowed to automatically sync data is one way to go.
