Android :: Internal Memory Loss When Reconnect / Re-provision Application To Device With Eclipse ADT
Jan 20, 2009
When I install my application with Eclipse ADT (by simply run and choose device that appears in the list) through USB onto device, sometimes I noticed it consumes internal memory (storage) space even though application is already loaded on the device (exactly same version - just some minor code changes)As my application size getting big, this is really annoying because eventually it will use up all initial storage space of ~70MB and I have to factory reset in order for me to continue testing my application on real device.I did little investigation and find out this seems to happen when
1) load/run application onto device for first time with USB
2) disconnect USB
3) restart Eclipse
4) connect device and try to load/run application onto device
5) internal memory goes down by application size ...
and it does NOT seem to happen as long as I keep USB connection and Eclipse still recognize the device. I'm just guessing here, but maybe does Eclipse ADT creates temporary file of some kind that's get left behind when I disconnect USB? I'm running RC30 so I don't have root access and can't check system files/folders but is there any way to look for these temp files (if any) and clear out either from Eclipse, or using adb shell command?So for now, I leave my device connected to Eclipse all the time but I want to use it as phone as well as sometimes I want to show to my friends to get some feedback etc it would be really nice if I can somehow load application onto device, disconnect and keep testing/using phone.Has anyone experience this issue? If so, is there any walk around to this problem? Or could you point me out what I'm doing wrong here? I tried few things myself, such as close Eclipse right after I launch my application on device, disconnect USB etc but nothing seem to work.

Ive had an HTC G1 and I now have the Samsung Behold II. Theres a problem I've noticed on both phones. Lets say I have 60mb of flash memory and I download an app that is 5mb. That would put me down to 55 if my 2nd grade math serves me correctly. Now if I were to uninstall this app, my phone will only go back up to 58mb. Even after restarting the phone 10 times, taking the battery out or doing whatever, it remains at 58mb of memory.
I want to know why does this happen? And is there any way to recover that lost storage? I just find it a bit crappy management of memory. Because this problem can be more drastic, I downloaded a 20mb app which sucked balls, to which I quickly uninstalled. I only got 12mb of the 20 back. Thats 8mb lost somewhere. Again, I'm looking for at the very least an explanation

How to read and display the data stored in the Internal Storage-private data on the device memory.
String input=(inputBox.getText().toString());
String FILENAME = "hello_file"; //this is my file name
FileOutputStream fos; try {
fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(input.getBytes()); //input is got from on click button
fos.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} try { fos1= openFileInput (FILENAME);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
outputView.setText(fos1./*I don't know what goes here*/);

I have a huawei honor device and by mistake while I was formating my laptop to windows xp through the cd booting. My device was USB connected and I deleted the SD card and phone memory by mistake.
Know, I can see only the SD card memory, but can't see the internal memory for device.
The device normally has a 4GB internal memory, 2GB are for the software and the remaining 2GB for usage.
I'd tried downloading new rom, but still the same problem! Need retrieving the lost 2GB memory ?

I'm developing an application that interfaces with an RFCOMM endpoint.Through bluetooth, my Droid phone connects to this device, initializes it, and happily sends and receives data.A problem I have encountered however is when I walk away from the device (while it's sending/receiving) and the bluetooth connection goes stale. I easily detect this in my code by various exceptions thrown by the inputstream/outputstream/socket.

Anyways I have just got myself a Sony Ericsson X10 and it's my first Android phone. I have upgraded from a Samsung Omnia running WinMo 6.5 and I must say I'm enjoying Android so much more already As I'm completely new to Android I have a few questions:
1, Installing Apps - The SE X10 only has 256MB internal memory and I have a 8GB memory card inside, I have noticed nearly everything I download installs to the internal memory. With my Omnia you can choose where to install it, is there a way to force it to install to the SD card or move it from the internal memory to the SD card?
2, Charging - For the first time ever I have never have come across a phone that fully turns it's self on from being fully turned off when a charger is plugged in and turned on. With any rechargeable device you need to give them a good charge (16+ hours) to give them a good life. But how can I do that as the battery is being used as its charging?
3, I've seen some stuff about rooting? I kinda understand it but what is the benefit of doing it? Is it risky? Is there any cons?

I want to buy the HTC Desire or the Samsung Galaxy S. At the moment I prefer the HTC Desire. It's smaller, feels better and has flash which the Samsung lacks. But when I read the fact that the HTC Desire is very limited in internal memory for installing apps and the fact that you can't transfer a lot of apps to your sd card with the help of the froyo 2.2 update got me thinking again about which phone I should pick. I don't want to buy the phone and later regret that I don't have enough space for apps. That's not the only thing that is bothering me. So I want to ask a few questions.
1: What is the average number of apps you can install on the internal memory (so without SD card) of the HTC Desire if you installed update 2.2?
2: Let's say I use internet 2 hours a day, watch movies, listen to music 2 hours a day and also call people 1 hour and send a few text messages. If I do this everyday will I have to charge my battery everyday or will it last longer?
3: Can you install apple apps on HTC desire?
4: What is the average size of an application?

Is there a way to move apps and games from the Samsung Transform's internal memory, to a memory card? So the apps can run from the memory card, while keeping the internal memory free? I keep finding posts on how to do it, but they all seem to be outdated and no longer.

I know about the ROM memory leak when you shut off the phone while BT is trying to connect, but I havent seen anyone talking about loss of RAM. you get it back after the phone is rebooted, but I noticed with taskpanel x and now with auto task killer. (I did a factory reset and attempted to use the phone w/o a task manager/killer and it was unbearable) I start the phone and had about 97 in the beginning with taskpanel x, everytime it would "kill all" the available memory would be lower, eventually in the 50's with everything killed and Id restart the phone and then Id be back in the 90's. now with auto task killer Im looking at 54.4 available when I wake the phone up, just restarted it and I have 76. does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping the 2.0 release would also come with a fix for this, but with noone talking about it, Im assuming its not being worked on, maybe its just my phone...

I've had unaccountable SD card memory loss since the update. Is it the upgrade or one of the apps I've downloaded since then. It seems to happen when I use picsaypro and an online animator even if I don't save anything.

Am a MMX A110 user, the phone is really great apart from occasional hanging. yesterday, it got hang when I tried to open the gallery, then I had no other option other than to remove the battery and turn on. When I turned it on, I was caught by surprise ,the apps which were moved to SD card where missing and the app list in settings shows some damaged icon then I rushed to gallery to find out wats happening. All my 300 photos were lost. Except my contacts and messages everything were corrupted. Though I recovered most of the lost stuff. I still lost many important memories. Later, I formatted my memory card to solve this issue.
1)a backup app which can function without internet connection and can synchronize it with my computer
2)Security app something like an antivirus.

Dianne mentioned we can use "@*android:type/name" to reference resource added to framework-res.apk at "what's the best way for OEM to organize it's own resources?"(http://groups.google.com/group/android- framework/browse_thread/thread/e9974bd5a42af10a/1f7055086f5489a7).
And I did see it is used in android source and looks like it is used to refer to internal resource not public, am I right?
I wonder whether it is possible to refer to internal resource without errors in Eclipse. I tried but adt reports error.

However after getting a bunch of apps from the android market i am getting a warning saying my internal memory card is getting full.when I check under settings, i still have about 20mb left. At what size do i start getting this warning? Its it possible to save apps onto the sd card instead of the internal memory? Also is there a size limit for the number of text messages, i starting getting warning messages for those as well.

I know i should have made tons of Backups before trying out something like "Provision Optimizer [Root] but i didn't do any Backups. After i clicked the "one click optimize" button, i rebooted my phone to apply the settings. The Motorola Boot Logo showed up, but instead of loading/showing the animated Motorola Boot Logo(the second one) the Screen turned black. After waiting one or two more minutes I tried to touch the Screen and the Motoluxe responds as if the Screen was turned on. Even the sounds and vibrations match the Touch screen unlocking.
Technical Details:
Motorola Motoluxe
Android 2.3.7
Fw: IRM-1670-0-4073-A02_BFM_service.sbf (stock)
Rooted
Usb Debugging enabled
How can I backup either my Data to flash the Motoluxe once again (Titanium Backup installed) or undo the changes, that the "Provision Optimizer" did to my system?

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)?

Is it possible for an app to grow or continue to use up internal memory as you use it? I installed a new Android/Facebook app named Dungeon Quest less than a day ago. Since then I have use this app on and off but I have noticed that gradually my phones internal memory has been growing (from 231mb used to 240mb)! I haven't made any of My space is now getting critical.
Is there anyway short of rooting to reclaim this space? This seems to be a buggy app. I'm wondering if its got some kind of error log file growing in my internal memory area?
