Hi guys, I'm having a nasty problem which I cannot figure it out.
So, I bought a 16gb class 6 SD card to replace the 4 gb one, but here is the problem.
With the original 4 gb one, with all apps and games installed it shows 140 mb free (internal storage).
If I remove it and replace with the 16gb one, it shows only 105 mb free, even after a fresh wipe and install (therefore no apps and games installed).
What gives???? Can you please tell me what could be the problem? Why my EXTERNAL card is eating my INTERNAL memory? Is this a paradox? It is supposed to be only an external thing, why does it mess up with my internal memory?
Any help is greatly appreciated, its driving me nuts, I wipped, formatted, and reformatted in an endless loop, hoping to solve the problem, still the same result (old one = 140 mb with all apps installed, new one = 105 mb, only the OS, if I start installing apps and games - even if on SD, it still eats up the memory and gives a low memory message).
LE: Solved! One had A2SD+, the other didn't!
Hello everyone.
I'm currently using CM 6 on my Desire.
On the phone I have LauncherPro and Weather & Toggle installed and nothing else (beside google apps). All my apps are on the SD card.
Problem: I have 15mb of internal memory!!!
Removing some of the pre-installed apps won't increase the space left. Whenever I install a new app on the SD card, it also uses some of the phone memory!
What should I do? Help would be appreciated

You could consider going s-off and flashing a custom partition table to gain more space for apps?

That helped. Thanks
Or you could go with starburst ROM and use date2sd I have 2gb internal space on my phone and the rom is super fast and stable
i have a htc wildfire which comes with a 512mb of internal memory. but as soon as i got my phone of the market, it shows only 90mb left under phone memory. i do understand that this comes from the built in phone apps, data, cache and etc. but i need an easy solution to free up the memory as it could slow down my phone. any help?
ps: my phone is on 2.2.1 froyo and hboot 1.01 so yeah i can't root it! :x
It doesn't come with 512 MB internal memory, but, with 175 MB. So, having ~100 MB on a stock phone is normal.
You are probably mixing up some other space (ROM, I think), with the internal memory.

You can look up any mobile spec listing site (Eg: GSMArena). It is clearly listed there 512 MB is the ROM Size on the Wildfire, not its internal memory.
Besides, I think the amount of internal memory can be seen under Settings also on the Stock ROM as well. (Not sure, since it has been months since I have been running the stock ROM), but, on CM7, it clearly shows Available Internal Storage and Total Internal Storage. (Which is 175MB)

yeah gsmarena shows that it has 384 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM. didn't say anything about internal memory. on the stock ROM it only shows the available internal storage space, nothing for total. so i couldn't figure out what was the total internal storage size..hehe
anyway thank for the info, it sure relieved me to some point guess i have to wait for the root to come. go unRevoked!
go unRevoked! +1 this
if you are not on 2.2 froyo, you can root your device with unrewoked...

WRONG.
If you are on 2.2, you probably have HBOOT 1.01 wich cant be rooted. Its about HBOOT, not android version.
with a root stock rom, j7, my phone is running out of space, althou I have not installed big apps. why? mis. files says 4gb, but when check these files (folders) they amount to max. 1gb. any ideas? where does the storage go?
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install some games/apps on my phone but it says "low memory", the fact is that my phone has 800mb+ of free internal memory, and 7gb+ on SD.
Rooted phone, 4.3 JellyBean.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Low memory?
You means RAM?
Then close all applications & try
otherwise
You may had tried some large games like Asphalt.
(Apps which requires more than your available memory)
Please remember - SXM will not install apps to external memory card
