Hello folks,
I currently have an Excalibur (Dash) phone. Does anyone know or happen to have a workaround fix to re-direct temporary memory or available memory to the storage card instead? I just keep getting "memory is full" issue whenever I try to start my camera phone even though I've already close down all app running.
Thanks in advance
Check Applications Installed
It seems that there are various applications on your Dash which are installed on phone memory itself. Normally, while installing an application, it asks if you want to install it on phone or storage card. Best way is to install them on storage card, but remember if you ever replace your storage card, the installed apps will not work and you will have to reinstall them. Also, if you are using email software on it to download mail and attachments, you can change settings so that they are stored on storage card.
I suggest to check your phone for apps which are installed on it and remove the ones you feel are no longer needed. Alternately if you decide to keep them, uninstall them and reinstall them on your storage card. But remember, any data or settings generated through those apps will not be available once you uninstall them.
Hope it provides some pointers.
Cheers,
KC
Great advise KC! I will check those and let you know if I am still having the same issue.
Cheers!!

Hey All,
This is my first post but joined long ago, Great forum by the way
Please tell me if this post is in wrong section...
I have a Jasjam running:
WM6 Professional
ROM Version 3.62.305.5
ROM Date 11/06/07
Radio Version 1.54.30.10
Protocol Version 32.87.1020.20H
ExtROM Version 3.62.305.116
I'm having the following problems over the last few days, Was fine previously...
1. Phone is running slow,
2. Can't always send sms messages and "locks up" in message function, I have to stop this via settings to egt out of sms area......
3.Storage Memory is full - even after deleting text messages and uninstalling some software. Space frees up once this is done and then seems to somehow get full again without explaination...
I have even moved everything I can from phone to storage card and memory increased, then I get same error message again and somehow memory is full again...
Keep getting this meesage "Storage memory is critically low. If storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. Use file explorer to delete files that are no longer needed or move some files to a storage card"
Please help, Is my phone stuffed?
Thanks in advance.....

try to flash a new rom?
I really didn't want to do anything except correct fault, as it just suddenly started having this error. I will only reflashing if I can't resolve it any other way. Thanks
try searching for sktools, I am not going to post it here unless it is necessary it is floating everywhere here.
try this
try oxios memory
If you are installing it in the phone memory then try to unload few programs that you use less. Install them on storage memory card, do you know that SD card thing. Increase your SD card memory to 2 GB if it support or try 1 GB as I am using it and don't need more of it. Also try to transfer your pictures and movies to the storage card.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Use ActiveSync Explorer to do the job or use any file explorer other than the windows own. GS Finder is the one I like but there are other available on net.
Not posting here coz it will make people lazy. Try to use search and get use to it.
Low mem
hi, as a ex hermes user I too faced this problem many times.
My issue was too many emails and attachments.
I had outlook on my pc synced for all messages from last 30 days (usb), plus 2 other email accounts with about 5000 messages done via 3g when out and about it killed my mem free untill I eased back on the qty I needed.
Hope helps

I know the answer to this!!! You have to delete temporary internet files although you might have figured it out by now
I actually just re-installed WM6 and the problem is now resolved.
Jason
In other words, you just wiped everything out of the phones memory.... As was suggested by just about every other post after beastfellows post...
Make sure you save attachements for sms/mms/email, save as many apps to the memory card and put all pictures and music on the memory card or you will be back to the same point pretty quick...
Cheers...
I downloaded some apps from the Marketplace. I usually get the cabs online and just install all my programs to the storage card and leave the main storage open. But with Marketplace it seems to install them directly onto the device. Is there a way to change that? To make the Marketplace programs install onto the storage card instead? Apparently...all these apps I've installed have caused the memory to get low. It says I have 13MB available and the phone is running slower than usual. Is there a way to safely move these program files over to the storage card or am I just gonna have to remove them and see if I can't find the cabs online?
Or does anybody know a way to open up more storage/memory ...temporary files, files I don't need that came with the Tilt 2. (Note: I already use ClearTemp and CleanRam)

There is a Thread on this forum on how to remove some of the ATT Bloat. I was able to free up a bunch of memory 10-20MB.
LINK: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UninstallingTilt2Software
Or you could also Flash a new ROM.. With a TON of stuff installed, I have 209MB Free Storage
I had Good Results with one called e2 ROM - Also Adds the Weather to the TF3D Home Screen

You can move the programs to the storage card with SKTools, or re-install them from cabs. I guess Marketplace forces it to Memory.
You might also check your PIE/Opera cache, it can get rather large.
Thanks so much for the advice. Where can I find the PIE/Opera Cache at? What's the path?

I clear in MemMaid or SKTools myself, but you can do it via the programs themselves.
pie: path: \windows\profiles\guest
Or launch, Menu, Options, Browsing History, Temporary Files highlighted, Clear (soft key)
Opera: path: \windows\opera9\cache
Or again launch Opera, Settings, Privacy, Delete Cache.
You can now specify in Marketplace in options to download to storage card
Hi everyone,
In panic mode right now...
I downloaded an app that helps you find all your apps that can be moved to the sd card. So it found 150 or so. After an hour of manually moving each one, I had over 400mb of free internal space and only like 40 apps left on the main phone storage. Awesome... but then this morning I noticed that things were running real slow... so I rebooted my phone. When it came back up I noticed some of my home screen shortcuts had become generic android icons. I went to my launcher & lots of apps were missing. I have a LOT of apps so I can't quite confirm yet whether its all the apps I moved to sd but it seems that way.
When I go to the market I see apps that I had yesterday as not installed. I have astro but I'm not quite sure what folder to look in to see if the apps are all still there, just not being seen by the android system maybe?
I've been driving all morning so I haven't gotten to research this much yet. Just rebooted a couple times hoping to fix it but no luck yet.
Any help is majorly appreciated. As soon as I'm at a computer ill be working on this all day. Freakin disaster!

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
update to my question
so now that i'm in to work i can mess with this... quick update...
when i go to manage applications and go to "on SD card" i get a big list of apps that have the names like "cn.miren.browser" instead of Miren Browser and "com.alphonso.pulse" instead of Pulse which is kinda normal except usually they then refresh with the regular name and the size listed underneath. well it's been sitting here for 5 minutes now and hasn't change and it still says "Computing..." under each one and instead of the normal icons, its sort of a grayed out generic Android icon with an SD in the bottom right corner of the icon.
so clearly it still knows that these apps are there. it just maybe can't access them? i dont know. could it be the sd card? this is the original 8gb sd card that came with the g2...
any thoughts?
???
so i found out that the sd card had some errors in the file system. so i let windows fix the errors. no help (although my phone boots WAAAAAYYYYYY faster now).
so then i found that i have an extra 8gb microsd laying around (which also happened to be a better, class 6 one too). so i cleared it off and copied over alllll the files to it. booted up. STILL NO GO.
anyone have any ideas here? i'm really running out of ideas here.
when i boot, everything runs great, but all my apps that are installed to sd are gone. also it never says "preparing sd card" in the status bar when booting. then if i go to manage applications it never finishes "computing" the size of apps. if i go to "on sd" it shows all my apps, but says computing, and i can't access them, uninstall them, move them, etc. i'm totally out of ideas here and i really don't want to have to do a system restore.
anyone?
think im having the same problem . has ur market gone too?
fix?
ok so i ended up getting mine fixed using these steps that someone from a company that makes an apps2sd app sent me... the only difference i had to do was since my phone also wouldn't recognize my pc, i had to pop the sd card into my pc directly to delete the .android_secure folder... i don't want to mess up your phone or anything so make sure to read around a bit more before trying this, but this is what worked for me. after i started adding all my apps back one by one i've been fine ever since.:
"I guess the problem is ".android_secure" is not recognized by Android.
Would you try the following steps (I am not sure if it works)?
1. mount phone with PC
2. backup all files under .android_secure
3. delete .android_secure directory
4. unmount
5. try to move an app (any app) to SD card (it forces Android to
create .android_secure on SD)
6. mount phone with PC
7. restore all backuped .android_secure/* files to .android_secure
8. unmount => check if it recognized the apps that you moved to the SD card"
Hi,
I have a strange but annoying problem in Tab S running lollipop and rooted since last week.
I can't save app with Titanium backup, it stops after one saying insufficient storage. Also, I can't preview or export any files from the Drobpox application. Photos are not appearing as thumbnails. It says "Storage saturated or unavailable".
But what is strange is there still 6.8Go space on my internal storage and more than 10Go on my external SD card.
Do rooting could have change something? But I can't understand why internal storage is affected. Other apps seems to work fine, at least I didn't find other complaining about storage.
Does someone have an idea of what I should do?
Thanks
Mel
PS I already clear caches and also did a wipe partition
Post a screen shot of your storage in settings.
Hi,
Awkward link but I can't post it since I don't have posted more than 10 messages :
dropbox DOT com/s/ko6rg0v18mvt1mf/Screenshot_2015-06-27-12-34-23.png?dl=0
Since yesterday, I got 2 others apps behaving abnormally. A twitter client unable to display image thumbnails and a newspaper app unable to download the daily edition.
It sounds like a writing access for (some) 3rd party apps (since I could take screenshot and picture, on internal storage). Is it possible? Does un-rooting will amplify or solve my problem?
Thanks
Mel

It looks like you need to apply the sd card fix. Search play for sdfix.
Also you need a kernel that allows permissive mode for titanium backup to work.
Thanks! It solved my problem! All the problematic apps now working fine.

If this is the wrong forum please direct me to the correct place but I have a few issues and questions.
I'm running 10166 on a 640, I don't know if I can update to the latest without a PC but I don't have access to one until October 30. Clarify if I can?
Another problem. Is there known issues with SD app installations? I can't seem to find a list of known issues for my older build, it runs great aside from some new problems I discovered since I just got an SD.
If I install an app to the card, which is the default option and is selected on each choice in Storage.. Some apps on the store wont install and tell me to change where I install apps. I do and retry, it says same thing. I'm sure that changing any of those options doesn't work at all. Sometimes the system loses the SD and it basically shows as not inserted, to which makes me restart and once up again, the apps on the card are all broken and tell me to reinstall, if I go to the store and click Open, the app works fine so it's a shortcut bug apparently. I can't even remove the card and try to install some apps that won't go on a card. Messenger is one app I cannot install no matter what I try since I got my memory card.
Other than this card issue and how ugly and slow the store is, everything else is great.
Oh one more thing, when I reset this build recently, it seems like backup and restore doesn't work very well? It definitely lost all my bookmarks how do I save them? It also applied a lock wallpaper I haven't had in 3 months, and I don't know what else it's supposed to back up but nothing else but texts and a couple random apps restored.
Whoever reads all this thank you for your time hopefully someone can help in any way, reddit sucks for adequate help.

First of all, you can update to any preview build without a PC
Later when RMT does release, which will probably be a previous build than the ones we use as insiders.
The SD card has been spoken about in numerous blogs and forums, some apps need to install on the phone and have no permission to install on SD card, in that case, change storage settings to let apps install on phone, install the app from store and them swap it again to SD card.
The store is a lot lot better on build 10536
Theres a bug on 10536 where apps that cant install on SD and only phone, WONT install, its a know bug which Microsoft is fixing
