HTC Incredible :: Filling Up Phones Storage Make It Run Slower
May 5, 2010
I would like to know is if filling up my phones storage is going to make it run slower? I had 5 movies on my 8g microSDHC card. I decided to move them to my phones storage since nothing really uses that storage. The movies play great from both the phones storage and the SD card, but it felt like my phone was running a little slower once I did this. Is this just in my head or will my phone really run slower with its storage almost full? My phones settings state that the total space of the storage is 6.6GB and the avialable space is no 1.57GB.

A while back I tried to install CM on my friends LG G2. We installed CWM, made a backup and everything went well, until we were done flashing the ROM. It wouldn't boot, and after a few tries we decided to use download mode to reset everything back to stock. Everything is fine now, except I think the backup is still there. There's only a little more space left, but he only has about 4gb of data on the phone. We looked at all the folders and nothing was taking up all that space.
How can we delete that stuff taking up all the space? Would a normal factory reset work, or do we need to get CWM on there again to delete that backup?

Does filling a phone with only internal storage slow it down? Even if you don't fill it?
I'm asking because I put 10gb of music on my HTC One, and I was just curious as to whether it would effect it in any way.

I just can't figure this out. All I need to do is be able to make calls to other cells and landline phones over my wifi connection using my incredible ( i don't get cell service at home). No international calls. I have sip set up and fring. I can dial out on my dinc and i will hear ringing but but that is it. No one picks up. I have called my home phone and it doesn't ring.

Does underclocking make video run slower? i'm on the htc inspire with Absolution v3.7. i undervolted it aggressively to -75. i also underclocked it to 384. but i dont think underclocking is the cause since i had underclocked this phone with virtuous unity to 384 and videos played well. anyway, i noticed with netflix, video runs slow every 4 minutes then normal again.

I am building an app that scrapes information from web pages. To do that I have chosen to use an HTML scraper called J soup because it's so simple to use. Jsoup is also dependent on Apache Commons Lang library. (Together they make up a total of 385kB ). So Jsoup will be used to Download the page and parse it. My question is if the use of these simplifying libraries, instead of using Androids built-in libraries, will make my app slower? (in terms of downloading data and parsing). I was thinking that the internal libraries would be optimized for Android.

I only have stuff on my home screen, a full screen weather widget and like two programs on another...that leaves 4 more screens with nothing on it. I have all the apps I need so far and most of the ones that came with the phone I don't use. Just feels weird having all that extra space.

I'm test driving Shadow rom right now.Is it weird? I'm getting lower Quadrant scores when I am using Set CPU with the settings on 998Mhz on the Performance governor.I'm using the Koush kernel that came with the rom.With Set CPU uninstalled, I consistently get higher Quadrant scores.Am I using the wrong settings in Set CPU?Kernel is capable of 1115Mhz, but is set at 998Mhz.Mods please move if I posted in the wrong place.

I was just having one of those moments of thought about switching my phone from an Incredible to the Droid X, still tossing the idea around, but say I do....what happens to the apps that I bought on the Incredible...would they be useable on say a newer Android based phone?

For some reason my Incredible won't mount both the internal phone storage and the SD card storage at the same time. What I mean is...when I plug my phone into my PC I only get a single popup asking to mount the phone's SD card storage, but not the internal phone storage.If I remove the SD card (or unmount the SD card using menus on the phone) and then toggle the connection type from Disk Drive, to Charge only, and then back to Disk Drive (to burp the connection), the internal phone storage will mount, but the SD card won't mount because it has been removed.When I connect my wife's incredible, my computer sees both the SD card storage and the internal storage (as expected) and gives me prompts for both. I took the SD card from the problematic phone and put it in the "good" phone and there are no issues at all (IE.. both the internal storage and SD storage mount). This of course means there is no issue with the SD card.

I have a rooted dinc with a Innocell 3500mAh Extended Life Battery.Other than the battery and being rooted (removed some stock apps and added wireless tether),its still stock (ie. ROM, Kernel, etc.).I don't talk, text, or browse the web much, but I do stream Pandora ALL DAY at work.Usually about 7-8 hours non stop Ever since I rooted, it seems like it runs a little slower (ie. scrolling through home screens, exiting apps, sometimes it hangs or lags, etc. The snapdragon processor just isn't "snappy" (pun intended) as it formerly was.I was thinking about doing a Factory data reset ? or do I need to unroot, then reroot again?

Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?The rest of my applications have been running great.I love the new additions of 2.2 but was surprised to see a slowdown in Handcent.I understand that some people have been experiencing typing lag,I have as well but even while opening the application and choosing between contacts I have noticed a great deal of lag.Enough to make me go back to the stock messanger(which could have used some customization options with froyo IMO).

Not sure what is going on. I have a Linksys WRT-160N router. Before the OTA 2.2 update I would get speeds on WiFi between 15-18 mbps (speedtest.net). Now Im getting less then 3G speeds, like 1.3 and under.
Ive tried to tweak settings in the router and no change. I even did a factory reset on the router and still same thing.
Finally I went to my moms house and tried her WiFi and got what I used to get 15+mbps.

So if I do a Factory Reset on the phone it still has some of the old photos/videos I took, which leads me to believe it doesn't fully clear the device of everything, just the settings that I changed are returned to their factory defaults (duh!).I was curious if I do the Clear Storage option, which means turning off the device and holding one of the volume toggles while holding the power button - would that mean that the entire Android OS would be removed, or does it mean it does a format of the phones entire partition and re-installs Android (similar to a reformat/recovery partition on a computer)? In which case I would need to reactivate the phone doing the simple *228.

So I will be getting my Incredible in on Monday. However, after seeing the Linpack screenshots for the MotoDroid at 2.2 I am wondering if the Incredible really is all that fast. I mean how come the Incredible is slower than the N1 if it has the same hardware? I know the difference is small but I just don't understand that. Also, how do they get the Shadow/Xtreme specs before it is released? Those specs are amazing, maybe I should have waited. Here is a link to the screenshots: Post Your Motorola Droid Froyo Quadrant Scores! | Droid Life: A Motorola Droid Blog. EDIT: The reason I am wondering about the 2.2 specs is because ours should be comparable to the Nexus One. How could the MotoDroid be so much faster than the N1? I'm not looking to bash any phone, I am just confused as to how this works out.

Sorry if this is a complete NOOB question, but what is the difference between the internal storage which is 6.6GB and the phone storage, which is about 750MB? How do I access the 6.6GM of storage? What am I missing here?

I am in a verizon store. There is a droidx and droid incredible right next to each other. I installed speedtest.net app on both. Used advanced task killer to kill background apps on both..then ran speedtest.net app.Ran the test ten times on each phone to get a good average. Droidx gets 0.50 mbps max...incredible gets 2.0 mbps nearly on every one of the ten runs I did. Why? Is this a known issue? I wanna get the phone..its in stock..but this speedtest issue is bugging me. Any explanations?Also the droid x is getting only 2 bars..the inc has full signal. Been here about an hour, and no change in signal or speedtest.live update.. I am going to drive to another verizon store right now and repeat the tests on new phones..I will run with and withouth task killer. Ill update once I get to the new verizon store.

My internal phone storage says available space is 164mb. Is that good or bad? Also my SD card storage is 14.91 gb. My available space for that is only 2.23gb. I have like 3000 pictures. Would that slow down phone and lag? Also if internal storage low how make better?

As of now, my Internal Storage on my S3 follows a path similar to this in order to get to the files I had before just flashing a new ROM:
Galaxy S3 > Internal Storage > 0 > 0 > [Folder with my stuff]
Is it possible to NOT create a new "0" folder every time I clean-flash a ROM? This results in having multiple instances of where Screenshots, Pictures, ROM Backups, and other files/backups I deem important are saved.
Having to transfer files manually is a huge time sink (literally hours), and I seriously cannot stand when my files are so cluttered and folders are redundant and more deep and than necessary.
The only thing that I can think of in order to make the process less painful is to compress the old instance of the folder, move it up one level, and then uncompress the files - leaving one "0" again -

I have a MTK device, and the storage is like that :
- ROM storage ( 515 Mb )
- Internal storage ( 825 Mb )
- SD interne storage ( 2.37 Gb )
- SD Externe storage ( it's my own sd card, my 8Gb insered sd card )
As you can see, there is a " internal sd card " that i can't remove at all ( it's like a 2nd internal storage )
But i have a lot of apps and sometimes this apps have a huge data ( like a couple of game or my GPS app )
So my problem is that when i move my applications to the SDcard, they go into the internal sdcard, but i would like to move them to the external sd card.

I have a little experience using computers from late 1995 Year, and from year 2000 I am using also Linux from time to time, and very rare but it was a delight freeBSD. I have no experience on Android and MacOs.
Now, I all my family (father, mother, girlfriend and I) changed the phones on Android which is Linux based, but for ARM processors.
Anyway, I have played a little with Android 4 x86 on my laptop.From, my point of view, a Android Smartphone is just a little computer like an raspberry pi / pandaboard / beagle board.So, a mini computer with an Arm processor running a very small and tiny operating system max 8 Gb, when on my gentoo install I had been using about 30-40 Gb. I know, the size can be affected by the compiling flags but anyway.
Now, on all my system I had, from my experience I did 2 Backups, like this:
My laptop is backed-up on the External Hardisk number 1, and the External Hardisk number 1 is backed-up on the External Hardisk number 2.So, as it is a good practice to have a backup handy, I keep 2 backups in 2 different location in case of hardware failure / water flood etc. Some of the files I need are backed up in the cloud, on the internet.
I use to make IMAGES of the Operating System partition, and of the mbr , and of the partition table, with software like Acronis True Image, Paragon, DriveImage XML, Norton Ghost, Clone Zilla.
When I had to do data recovery I did an Acronis "sector-by-sector" approach image of the hardisk, and I recovered files from that image.
I assume that maybe I will need to get root on one or two phones, and one phone need's to be unlocked from the carrier.
Before doing this I would like to make a full backup of the phones.
1) How can I make a FULL backup of the android phones? In this moment my mother phone is a samsung galaxy mini2 Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 s6500 and mine is Sony Xperia L
2) a) If I will "unlock" the phone from the carrier (locked on orange, but i wish to use also Vodafone, I tim, I wind, moviestar, o2 etc)
b) If I will "root" the phone to gain administrator acces on it
After step A) and B) if I will restore the original backup, the phone will be "locked" back to Orange, and "un-rooted", or it will be "unlocked" and "un-rooted"?
3) Instead of having an hardisk like computer have, I guess the smartphone is using an "usb-stick/sd-card/ssdhdd"-like memory for storage of the operating system, so how can I see the partition table, the mbr, on the device?

It stinks that Samsung didnt make one but is it possible for a developer to make one that works with the Galaxy S default music player? I dont use a lock screen at all so I have no way of controlling the music besides going into the music player app. I am currently using Meridian player which has a music player widget btw. I plan to get the Epic 4g and want to use the samsung player, but it needs a widget

I've noticed that the Internal memory of my Desire seems to filling up even though im not adding new files/downloading any new apps... Im using wi-fi several times a day to check emails, update friendstream etc... but there seems to be no major correlation with the memory increase.
As a guide memory usage has gone from 72mb to 82mb in the last 5-7 days
Is this normal? how i can clear out any files that may be accumulating? Obviously concerned as internal memory is limited as it is and if this continues it wont be long til the phone fills itself up!
