http://androidforums.com – Hi, I have a weird problem with my S2 running samsung stock ICS 4.0.3. i have been using sgs2 for over a year now and whenever my free internal storage goes below 2.5GB i move the apps to SD card. But now No. of apps in SDcard has hit the Android limit so i simply delete the Apps. But off late that is not freeing up my internal memory. Soon after deleting apps it shows internal memory freed but by next day or it again fills up. This is when i check my storage at Settings-> storage (shows ~220MB). when i check my with settings -Applications it stays free and now its showing 600MB free. Thi (General)

[Q] internal memory 21 weeks 1 day ago

Hi Iknow plenty has been said about this subject but I have completed the following but still get message not enough space: Partitioned SDcard Downloaded both link2sd and Titanium backup Moved and lnked all apps to sd LINK2SD tells me only link2sd on internal Power tuner working Storage info as follows INTERNAL total 146MB! used 128MB!

Ok I really can't figure this out and my theory is that the droid maxx has it backwards and uses "internal storage" to mean external storage and "move to phone" as internal storage. Can anyone please explain this to me?? I have ApptoSD and, as an example, one of my apps MUST be kept on internal storage.

Hi all, I have been using Android phone for years. Previosly I owned a HTC Sensation XL. I have no problem of moving the apps between internal phone memory & SD storage. This week just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Internal storage fills up. 18 weeks 3 days ago

Hi, I have a rooted Pantech Pocket, ATT as carrier. When the phone was new, I loaded just a few apps, Titanium back up and SD maid, created an update.zip file on the SD card and the empty internal storage was about 300MB. I use the phone for texting, email viewing, a little browsing, and well, as a phone. No gaming, or streaming audio or video. My internal storage is now around 50MB.

Hiya,

My PE was synchonizing some files from the internal memory /sdcard wirelessly to dropbox when suddently it run out of battery and it turned itself off.

When I turn it back on I received the messages: * Preparing /sdcard * /sdcard damaged

I've tried resetting the device but still same problem.

The PE settings display: * Data storage device => Internal Storage * Internal

After installing a couple of games and apps, Android tells you that you are out of storage space. So you head on to ebay and buy the largest sd card your credit card can buy.

Problems 3 Fold 6 weeks 3 days ago

I had this thing within 500MB of the internal capacity less than a month after purchasing it.

I've limped it along until now. It has gotten to where it will not update apps due to insufficient space. Things I've noted: It will NEVER compute internal storage space Under Settings/Storage. Perpetually says calculating. It will not Delete my apps.

I've been using my phone for about 5 months but recently I faced a problem with the internal storage of my phone. I have a total space of 1.97GB for my internal storage, apps used up 601MB and it says I only have 216MB available. Adding up the apps and available spaces, I should have about 1GB left. I don't know where it go and I can't update my apps now due to the insufficient space.
