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.

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?

I know this belongs in the "How To" section, I do, and I'm all for trying to keep things organized around here, but there's no denying that a lot more people will see (and therefore respond to) it here.I have 23MB of memory left on my phone. I can free up memory on my SD card easy enough just by pitching stuff like downloaded installs, vids, pics & music, but what can I pitch to free up PHONE memory?

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 :: 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.

Android :: Retrieve Free , Total And Maximum Memory From Other Applications?

Is there a way to retrieve the free memory, total memory and maximum memory of other applications/processes using my application? I use Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() but it can only retrieve your current application... If there's somehow a method where I can just input their PIDs or Package Names like "Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory ().packageName" for example.. Here's my code...

General :: Free Ram 0.0 Bytes Android 4.1.2 - Low Memory Msg For All Apps / Frequent Crash

Sep 1, 2013

I bought iball andi 5li android smart phone a few days back. The configuration of the phone is:

512mb ram
4gb internal
1.2ghz cortex a9 processor
android 4.1.2

Although my device runs almost every app out there (including temple run, subway surfers etc.) but occasionally im facing problems.

Problem occurs after 3-4 days of restarting the phone. When i restart and check the ram usage it says 350 mb (approx) as used and 150mb(approx) as free ram every app runs smoothly but as days pass by gradually the free ram starts decreasing down to 30 mb where all the apps (games and browsers) start crashing with a low memory message. then the conditions get worse after approx 2 hrs free ram is now 0.0 bytes and even the launcher,settings etc crash with a low memory message. The only solution out is to restart the phone.

[used androids before and is quite aware of closing or killing apps but none is working]

Already Tried:
# removing apps from recent list
# stopping apps from Setting>apps>running apps & cached apps as well
# restoring to factory defaults
# used ram freeing apps (no change on ram)

HTC EVO 4G :: How To Free Up Space On Internal Memory?

Aug 27, 2010

So recently I have had my EVO tell me that I am running out of disk space (Internally), so is there an App or a way I can view my internal files and delete them off. I know I can use the Market to delete Apps and I can use the stock Froyo Manage Applications to remove Apps, but I feel that files I download to my phone are going to my internal memory rather then my SD memory. all the help!

General :: Is There A Minimum Rom Free Memory?

Jun 5, 2013

I've done some research, but haven't found what I'm looking for. To cope with the memory limitation of my phone, I move some apps to Rom with titanium explorer. Does the rom use the rom partition free space for something? Writting cache, and so on? I have a Xperia J and a X10 mini pro, and they both have around 20 Mb of free space on the ROM. Is it ok? Is there a "safe threshold"?

General :: How To Free Some Device Memory

May 27, 2012

I use 1 TAP cleaner to wipe out cache , but since last few days i see that much more "device memory" has been used by what i don't know !!

I uninstalled many less-used apps from the task manager yet the "free-memory" shown is not as much as it should be on the device !!

I also move many apps to SD using app2sd but still the device memory has not been freed as per my expectation ! out of the 1.97 GB available i have hardly 0.94 GB left as free memory on device !!

HTC Droid Eris : How To Free Some Internal Memory?

Jun 13, 2010

Maybe this has been discussed, but i don't remember reading it. I've been clearing out my cache regularly to free up memory. But it never occurred to me to delete MMS messages. I just freed up 10 MB of internal memory by deleting MMS messages. I deleted entire threads, and in some cases, individual MMS messages (pictures and videos), because i didn't want to loose the whole thread.

Apr 30, 2013

I have a problem with my Android phone. I already select an option to install apps into SD card but each installed apps still consume some free space in internal memory. Example: an app size 20 would take 2-5mb in internal memory. Unfortunately, my internal memory is only 222mb.

HTC Incredible :: How Much Free Memory Normally Have / Keep Things Running Smoothly

May 6, 2010

Just curious what you guys normally have freed up on your phones, since this is normally a way of speeding things up a bit. I've been reading today about how Task Killers are somewhat counter-intuitive and do not help with battery life. So I deleted and I'm now thinking about not having enough free memory... Figures.

Anyways, I'm 25mb right now, and I've hovered between there and about 125mb today. I'm curious what you guys are normally seeing. If I'm not using a task killer, is there something else you might recommend to keep things running smoothly?

General :: How To Free Space On Internal Memory Of XT532

Feb 13, 2012

Now the XT532 (taiwan version) can be rooted, I am interested to know what can be removed. On the internal memory, it states is has 160Mb available of which 95 is already used by the applications on the ROM. So I only have 65Mb available for new programs. I try to move as much as possible to the SD-card, but still i run into the limits very fast. But how do I know what can be removed safely? Also, a total of 160Mb seems quite low for a phone which is listed as 500Mb ROM/ 500Mb RAM. How is that calculated? Is the other 340 all occupied by Android?

HTC Incredible :: Store Version On Free Micro SD Memory Card

May 2, 2010

last week before getting the incredible i had 2 extra micro sd cards laying around. Today i have 4. Of course i got the free 2gb sd card with the phone, its still in the package. And today when i went to the verizon store to buy a car charger and the red and black gradient case they gave me a 4gb micro sd for free! So now i have 2 extra micro sd's that i didn't have last week. Not too bad. So for those who didn't know i guess verizon has a deal going on now where if you buy a car charger and case you get a free 4gb micro sd memory card. I"m not sure how much they retail for but its got to be at least worth $10-15. The case and the charger came to $50 + change. Just a heads up for those that need these accessories.
