HTC Incredible :: Memory Reallocation Of The OS
Jul 6, 2010
From what I've read on these forums, Android only uses what programs are necessary and that the other programs, while taking memory, aren't hurting battery life or utilizing the CPU. So therefore, the task killers are useless and only cause more battery usage by causing the need to restart these programs.
So my question is to those who understand memory allocation, what happens when you run out of memory? What priorities does Android go by?

Here's the proof of the madness. I deleted several space hogging applications and it hasn't gone away. I have also power cycled and messed around with a few settings and the low storage warning will not go away.

This folder includes screen shots that are used for Internet Browser bookmarks. It also includes screen shots of web pages that I did not choose to bookmark. When I clear cache while in "Internet" in "Manage Applications" it does not remove these jpg files that are not being used for bookmarks. When I clear everything while in Internet app (in settings) it does not remove these jpg files either. It also does not remove them from within the HistoryEraser app. The only way I can remove the jpg files is with Astro or when connected to PC. I have to go through them and erase jpgs that I do not want there.
There were 72 jpg files in that directory and they go all the way back to when I got phone (on 4/29). I have only added 5 bookmarks myself during that time. They do not take up a lot of space but I just don't want them there.

When I go to the storage settings, it says that I have a 1.86gb (2gb) sd card, and only 649MB available on my internal phone storage. Do I have a different version or something? I was told that the Incredible have 8gb of internal phone storage.

The Dinc has a lot of internal memory but what use is it? Most apps do not see media in internal memory. Now with Froyo coming I see some discussions on the ability to install apps to the SD. Why? What are they freeing the space up for? I have a 16GB SD and space isn't really a factor for me. But, isn't internal memory faster than card access? How can I best use that space?

My incredible alerted me to the news it was low on phone memory...checked my phone storage and it had about 540mb's or so of available memory. Has anyone else received this alert? I deleted a few apps I hardly use or tested and didn't like and the notification went away. Is this a glitch that's been talked about before and perhaps will be rectified on froyo?

I could swear I've never seen my memory usage this high but maybe I'm just imagining things today. 63% used, is that high?

I am coming from a BB phone so memory management was different. I was exploring the phone today and came across the Services running and saw that I had something like
Avail: 183MB+113MB in 23 Other 57MB in 4
I don't quite understand what this means with the plus and the "in" statement. Not too long afterwards, I checked and I was down to
Avail: 99MB+0B in __ Other 0B in __
Could someone explain to me the format of the available memory and secondly if I should be concerned that I was going down to 0 in the spots shown in the second example?

Just picked up my Incredible earlier today. Was tired of waiting on Amazon so found the last remaining one at the Bestbuy instead. Anyway, they threw in a free 2GB SD card. I already bought a 8gig card. Should I return it? Will the 2gig be enough plus the phone memory? I know I'm being a little cheap but the extra cash wouldn't hurt.

There are three storage notes on System Panel: Memory, Internal Storage (6661.8 M available) , and SD Card (7681.2 M available). Memory says 71% used (and 117.6 M available) or 29% free. What does this mean? I don't even have anything open except for Lookout in the background (antivirus and backup disabled) and System Panel on. If it's ROM, how could I be using 71% doing practically nothing?

So, I'm trying to update a 40MB app (SVOX US English Female Voice - Android app on AppBrain), but my phone is telling me "Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item.". Could someone explain to me why I'm seeing this if the following is true? Phone looking at to decide that I do not have enough space? Looking at that information, I have plenty of space everywhere!

I just got my Incredible a few days ago and I'm still learning it. So far its much better than my old Blackberry. I just have a question as to if this is normal or if I have a defective phone. When I got into running apps under settings its shows on the bottom (the numbers of course vary) Avail: 64+219 in 25 and Other 60mb in 4. As soon as I open then browser and go back and check it goes to Avail: 58mb+0.00b in 25 and Other: 0.00b in 4. I checked my fiancee's Moto Droid and it isn't doing this. Is it normal with the Incredible or is my phone defective?

doubleTwist loaded all my music on my internal memory (took most of it). Can I connect my Incredible to my computer and manually transfer the music to my SD card? How would you recommend making this transfer?

I'm getting a "Low on Space" Icon but when I check my "SD Card and Phone Storage" it seems I have plenty of space left or am I just reading it wrong? Does "Available Space" not mean, the space I have left to work with?

SD Card
Total Space: 7.40GB
Available Space: 2.43GB
Internal Phone Storage
Total Space: 6.60GB

How should I save the mp4 files to the phone memory instead of SD card? Do I just create a folder named "Movies" in the root directory of the phone and put the mp4's in there? Thanks

Have you been putting your music, pics, videos, etc., on your SD, or your Internal 8G? I've been putting most on my 8G Class6 SD. Just felt like the phone would continue to run better if that Internal Memory wasn't loaded up? What do you guys think....opinions....?

No idea why, default is set to disk drive, only shows SD card storage on the computer. What am I doing wrong Ok it actually is connecting to both, but the drive for internal memory is saying please insert a disk into (E). I know they are both from the incredible from looking at the 'safely remove hardware' section of the PC and checking the box to display components.

Has anyone found an app that tells how much memory each program is using? Trying to find out which background apps to stop from running. Also, the other day when i was on charger I had a popup tell me the what percentage of battery usage each program was using (It was saying I was using more power than usb supplied and the battery was going to die).

It has be reported that Apps cannot be saved in the 8gb internal memory but in the 512mb rom. Is that a problem for anybody? Reviews from Infosyncvideos and the androidcommunity stated the problem. I dunno how big apps are but it shouldn't be a big problem.

I know a lot of apps using microsd for storage. I am not talking about the app themself I know they are limited to the storage in ROM I am just talking about data the app reads/write. I was searching why my maps weren't working with the weather channel app and found this thread:
http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/71829-weather-channel-radar-not-working.html
Also tried to download and use Epicurus and it crashes every time (thinking it stores usage data on your MicroSD. I'm theorizing because I don't have a microsd card in my phone and maybe a lot of apps have trouble using the incredible internal 8GB of memory? Thinking on buying a 8GB MicroSD card just for this.

When I first boot up the phone and check the memory (after shutting down all the apps I don't want running) I notice my phone has about 220-250 MB free after leaving the phone on for about 2-3 hours, with no activity on my part, that number gets smaller and smaller. I just rebooted my phone again because it was down to 125 MB free with no applications running.
Also, "Android System" is consuming 65% of my battery life. I realize that number is inaccurate after a fresh reboot so I played with the phone for a good 4 hours running apps and such, so that I could get a good test of how much the OS is eating up in comparison to other apps. 65% is a bit much no?
