Dash memory issue

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!!

TILT 2 Memory/Storage FULL

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.

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

Google Drive offline cache

Hi there
Yesterday I signed up for the new Google Drive. Got it set up on my computer and on my Desire and started syncing files between the two. But when I tried to make the files available offline on my phone I wasnt able to. I think it has something to do with the offline cache on my phone beeing so small(Only 25 mb). Ive seen somewhere that on other phones the cache starts at 50 mb and you can choose up to 250mb in cache.
Why isnt that possible on my Desire? I know the app is new and all that but I cant understand why it is different on the Desire compaired to other android phones. ive got plenty of space on my SD card and i dont think it is saved in the internal memory.
Anyways, would be awesome if anyone had an answer to this issue.
Thanks in advance
Offline files are saved on the internal as far as me doing a quick test with it.
via xda app

I also have a problem with Google Drive offline access, don't now if it's the same as you.
With Google Drive online, no problem, it is downloading the file, and then opening the corresponding external app.
But if I set the file on offline acces, then the behaviour is depending on the file:
- with pdf file, no problem, the file is downloaded into Google Drive data folder on the SD card, with a copy in the data partition and opened with Adobe reader.
- with xls file, the file is only downloaded into Google Drive data folder on the SD card, and then Docs to Go isn't able to open it (looking for it on the data partition).

[q] need help! Internal storage taken up but cant see my files!

Was told to update my rom a few days back and for some reason got a message that the Device ID was trying to change so i clicked KEEP SAME ID but for some reason now my internal storage shows all the same free space i had but NONE of my files are viewable. I go into the storage file viewer and its like its just with the new folders for a fresh system yet theres still only my 1.5gb free as before. I ran a rescan of all my media with NO luck. This is ridiculous. Any way to check if my device id changed and perhaps that's why my data is not viewable? please help asap

Storage Error - Insufficient storage available

First of all I want you to know I have searched the other threads with similar problem and honestly anything didn't work for me, that's why I'm posting this in a new thread.
Let me get into what is the problem, I can't install/update most apps(while some get installed/updated). This isn't only for apps through Play Store but also through LG App Store. The amount of space remaining in Internal as well as external is about 5GB. The huge .obb files are in ext. SD itself done with the help of 'Folder mount' app. Of course my device is ROOTED with stock ROM. I have tried every solutions like clearing stuffs in /data/app or lib folder, clearing play store data, cache and many other solutions that I can find. Nothing works for me. What should I do now? Any help will be appreciated.
Running Stock 4.4 ROOTED -v500
For storage details refer pics attached.
