Android :: Low On Phone Storage - How To Free Up Memory?

Jul 20, 2010

My phone (htc desire) kept saying low on phone storage and I assumed this meant the memory card (originally 4gb) so I purchased an 8gb sd card and put it in my phone, however the same message popped up low on phone storage. I now realise that its the memory storage thats low and not the sd card. Is there are way of moving my apps etc., on to the sd card rather than using the phone memory? If this isn't possible is there any other way of getting around the low phone storage problem?

Android :: How To Free Up Memory On Your Phone

Jan 17, 2009

im not sure if this is a repost or if everyone already knows this but this is a very awesome tip. when i hard reset the phone and went to the market, i clicked "my downloads" and my apps that i had b4 were all listed and they said "free", (which meant i had to redownload). so it keeps your history according to your intial google sign in on the phone. ive hard reset bout 3 times just so i lower my market "MB". im at 3mb on my market and 50mb free of memory. i also have 67 apps installed. i highly recommend to hard reset your phone every now and then. it gives you so much more memory when you go and reinstall all your previous apps from "my downloads" section of the market. plus your contacts all sync to your gmail so you dont even have to worry bout losing any contacts. trust me, it really makes a difference in performance after the phone frees up that much memory. b4 i first did it i had like 27mb in my market and like 45 apps with 10mb of free mem on my phone. man did that suck. every time you go in the market or even when you uninstall an app it will still be eating your memory. try it out and leave some feed back. its really harmless. the only thing is that you will have to set your settings on some apps to how it was pre hard reset. for example, missed call, scoreboard, weather channel, and more. but its really worth it.

General :: Merge Internal Storage And Phone Memory?

Mar 3, 2014

way to merge the Internal storage and phone memory together as I only have 500 MB of app storage (internal storage) and most of that is took up by default Google apps and I have a unused 2GB phone memory. So is it possible to merge/combine this together so I have a total of 2.5GB for apps without adding a alternative ROM?

I have a rooted phone with 4.1.1 Jelly bean.

General :: Extend App Storage Partition Of Phone Memory?

Aug 13, 2013

My new android 4.2.1 phone has 32GB of phone storage, but only 1.5 gigabytes of that is allocated to the "internal storage" partition for app installations etc. The rest is used as an internal SD card for data storage. I also have an actual SD Card of 32GB.

I find the 1.5GB of internal storage a little bit too low and I fear to run out of memory in a few months of intensive use. As I have a large external SD card it is a bit useless for me to also have a huge internal SD card partition and I'd rather add some of that to the 1.5GB of internal storage for apps.

I have googled for quite some time now, but I can only find threads of people trying to extend their internal storage by partitioning an external SD card. This is NOT the same as my problem as my phone storage is large enough but just not properly allocated in my view.

So my question is as follows: is it possible to add a few GB's from my phone storage to my internal storage?

Motorola Droid :: Phone Storage Space Getting Low - Text Message Memory Full

Sep 24, 2010

Have the warning message "phone storage space getting low"

Have 11G of 14 on SD card, but only 25MB free on internal phone storage.

Just got a text message that wouldnt come thru, and it said 'no text message space left'.

Just uninstalled somethings that were 10MB, now giving me 35MB free but

I keep getting texts, the phone vibrates , which it wasn't set to do, and says 'text memory full'. I am assuming it is vibrating to give me a warning.

Can I clear some of the text memory, or must I clear all of it. And if so for either, how do I do this.

I have moved apps to sd card that makes sense.

How can I free up more space.

Jelly Bean :: Motorola XT919 - Phone Doesn't Recognize Some Free Space On Internal Memory

Sep 26, 2013

I have free space on the internal memory of my phone that is not recognized for things like installing an app.

This is my phone:

Model: Motorola XT919
Android version: jelly bean 4.1.2
Internal memory: 4gb (really 2,2 gb free since the rest is used by the OS)
Rooted: Yes

I found out about this problem because I was running out of internal space so I inmediately checked the storage settings and I found this:

In the installed apps settings it shows 766 mb free of internal space But in the storage settings the things are different: As you can see, this time I only have 127 mb free of internal storage....

Just to be sure, I downloaded the app Storage Analyser and once again checked the internal storage free space: And this time shows 1,52 gb free...

Well the thing is that my phone considers as free space just the 127mb shown on storage settings, and I want the phone also uses the free space shown on the app settings or the one shown by storage analyser.

Android :: Widget To Show Available Free RAM - Not Storage RAM

May 6, 2010

Is there a simple 1x1 or 1x2 widget that shows free memory? Not storage memory, but running memory. Like after you run an Auto Killer (like Apollo, or ATK) it shows you how much RAM you now have free. I'd like a widget to display this information on the home screen? All I can seem to find is program storage memory, or SD memory storage, not RAM.

Android :: Internal Memory And External Storage

Aug 18, 2010

I've started seeing some apps that offer to read/write data to the internal phone memory (like Super KO Boxing 2, which offers to save a whopping 52MB to the phone memory). I suppose this is because newer Android devices have a lot of internal storage, as opposed to my devices, which have very little. I would like to support internal storage in my app as well.

But it's a bit difficult to implement a solution to something that I don't really know how it works. For example, do these newer devices allow users to upload files to the internal memory, like it's possible to do with the SD card? Can someone explain internal storage from an user perspective and recommend strategies for supporting read/write operations both for internal and external memory (ie: letting the user choose which memory to use at startup, like the Super KO Boxing 2 app)?

HTC Desire :: Installing Firefox Mobile / Free Internal Storage?

Apr 25, 2010

I installed firefox mobile (alpha version) just to test it out, but I can't for the sake of it find it on the phone. Tried install it again and it says it was successful. Still nothing, and I find nothing when I try to uninstall it. The phone says it got 56MB left of internal storage. Have I just spent a great deal of the internal memory installing a "ghost app", and how can I get rid of it in that case? I don't have that many apps on the phone.

HTC Droid Eris :: Free Internal Storage Space For Applications?

Apr 26, 2010

Is there any function or even app on the phone that will tell me how much free space I have for apps on the phone? The "free space" number that is in ABout Phone, or in many many system tools type apps is misleading, because that is a combination of the app space and the working memory space. Since Linux loads that up to be more efficient, it will almost always show some relatively low number (30-40MB in my case) as long as the phone has been turned on for some time. In reality, I only have 35MB of apps installed on my phone, so I have plenty of room, it is just hard to tell. So far, the only place I can find that info is on the web-based side of appbrain. Is there any on-phone location where I would be able to get that info? (Short of actually adding up all my apps' sizes by hand?)

General :: How To Get Google+ Instant Upload Free Storage For Any Photo

May 13, 2013

You know that Google+ Instant Upload photos don't count against your storage, but do you want that free storage for any photo at all? Here is a little workaround

Simple, but effective: just hook your phone up to your computer and drag and drop any photos you want into your phone's camera folder and, viola, they are treated like newly taken photos and uploaded to G+. (or use a file manager right on your phone to copy and paste there). Then, just delete those photos from the camera folder afterwards.

Now, keep in mind that they will be reduced to the "free upload" pixel limit of 2048, just like any other instant uploads, but for many of us, our camera phone pictures are not much bigger anyway.

Extra pro-tip: videos are also "free storage" and they don't reduce their quality at all. You can really maximize your free G+ storage with video.

Android :: Out Of Memory On Bitmap But There Is Free Heap Space

Aug 10, 2010

I have a list view that display about 25 images with size 60x60 pixels. I dowload this images from internet and I store in an arraylist as Bitmap. I need to save it in a arraylist because a listview will recycle views and so I need, wenn the user scroll, to display the image in the new view WITHOUT downloading again from internet

But after some time I got

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget

It seams that I got this exception about after loading 20 images ...

Reading in forum I have read about memory heap.

I try to check the memory heap usage with: Debug.getNativeHeapAllocatedSize and Debug.getNativeHeapSize()

When the exception occours both are about 4M.

But android has more than 4M?

When the application start the values are a little less to 4M so it seams is not a big memory usage or memory leak.

To be sure I want to call : ActivityManager.getMemoryClass() but this method is and instance method and I can't find the object to invoke!

But this method say, that al min should an application have 16M!

Any help? I have seen many topics in google ... but all speak about recycle. But if I recycle a bitmat ... then should I download again from internet?

Should I store the image on flash memory or sd card instead an arraylist in memory?

Android :: Free Up Memory By Finishing An Activity After Calling Another?

Feb 25, 2010

Hopefully the title wasn't to confusing but what I meant was the following:

Lets say activity A starts activity B by calling:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Activity_A.this, Activity_B.class);
Activity_A.this.startActivity(myIntent);


Could I save/free up some memory by finishing Activity_A after Activity_B is begun (if thats even possible). Maybe through the following:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Activity_A.this, Activity_B.class);
Activity_A.this.startActivity(myIntent);
Activity_A.finish();


Or would Acitivty_A call startActivity() and wait for Activity_B to finish before it called finish()?

The idea would then be that when the users end with Activity_B, it would just restart Acitivity_A (and finish itself in a similar fashion)? Would this create too much overhead? Thanks for any answers and I apologize if the formatting of this post isn't correct.
