Storage space running out error

Hey I'm having an error with my phone saying the above error permanently in the status bar. It notifies me of 250mb free although that isn;t and amount that adds up from how much media the galaxy is saying i have stored. I have tried flashing different roms clearing cache resetting etc no prevail. Please no suggestion that includes installing apps as I can't do that and I cannot connect to the computer to backup media to format the device due to hardware issues. I also don;t have a file manager installed as it doesn't come with the ROM and can't install due to this issue :/ help is muchly appreciated!
Thankyou

Can you break down what the storage says? Don't forget, on a 16gb nexus there is only (IIRC) 13.3GB free after allowing for formatting and system files.

It doesn't count all other directories in the SD aside from Music, Data, Pictures, etc. Plus, other file types don't count to that total. ROMs, for example, take up a lot of space but aren't counted when you go to settings>storage. And then you have app data that apps put in a weird place and are hundreds of MBs big...

i have 351 mb left.but yet the error message in the status bar does not go.i cant install any apps from the market.it says insufficient memory.but i do hv 351mb free!! any solution??

Nope. The 2 Gb there is for the apks only. That's a hell lot of space. The data of games go to the SD Card anyway.

Awesome

actually when youve installed games and apps, data of it will be on the 25gb and not on the phone memory .

[Q] anything like HBOOT to repartition internal memory?

Hi!
As I understand the Xperia S has a huge internal memory of 32GB, but this is parted into two partitions: One for Apps (known as /data on my HTC Desire) and one for all kinds of user data (/sdcard).
Right?
I know I can move most parts of most apps to /sdcard with internal functions. But not all apps.
So I would like to have more space for apps - is there anything like HBOOT / http://alpharev.nl to repartition the internal memory for the XS? Anything to make the app partition e.g. 5GB instead of 2GB?
Or: Is there any custom rom which uses the whole internal memory at once with no extra partition mounted to /sdcard? As I understand, this is the way google wants to handle this in ICS. One big internal memory for all purposes.

First, there is a SD card, a data one, a system one, a cache one, boot and maybe some obscure ones. Second, as I'm aware, no known way to increase it. And you don't need a huge partition. You can have a hell lot of apps with 2 GB. The data goes to SD card anyway.

to be honest, I am not sure about this.
At the moment I have a Desire with /data 1,5GB (via ext4 partition). I have only 200MB(!) left!
I have no big games on the phones. Some apps are moved to sd, additional. And there are no many big ones on my phone.
e.g. Facebook has 50MB and cannot be moved. G+ 30MB and I want to use the widget, so it is not moved. Amazon App Shop 30MB, cannot be moved. wetter.com 20MB and this is after moving!
And these are all of the huge apps on my Desire with only 200MB free. the other apps are odds and ends.
So, projected to the XS I would have 700MB free in the moment. And there are many apps I had to delete on my Desire and I want do install them. e.g. the Simpsons game 100MB and cannot be moved ...
/data 233MB free of 1511MB:
/data/app 426MB
/data/dalvik-cache 387MB
/data/data 300MB
/data/app_s 97MB

I, sometimes get to go through my apps list, I look at each one of them, and think: Do I really need this app? I can't uninstall it and download when I need it again?
It may help you.

hm, this sounds like shortage management. And when I by a new phone I do not want to do shortage management, particularly on a phone with 32GB.

But seriously: my smartphone is my digital Swiss army knife. I do not want to think about "do I need this app the next week?" And even worse "there was an app long time ago which would help me now, but which one from the bunch of similar named app was the one?"

I get it... Well. I'm running out of options right now... Maybe move some apps to system? Needs root, tough

dont know if this is what youre looking for:
well for storage you have 2gig phone memory and 25.80 internal memory,
all of the apps installed on your phone if you didnt move to sd will go to the phone memory which is 2gig,
all of the datas,obb files,pictures,movies,etc.. will be loaded on internal memory,
so the 2gig memory on your phone will be big enough for all your apps, meaning only the .apk files are stored on phone memory
and not the data.

help || cleaning my phone

so it like that : i have 540 mega of clear space on my phone and i tried to download shadowgun game from the appstore . almost at the end of the download the phone stopped downloading and wrote : not enough clear space. so i thought "ok so i will download a smaller game " but then i notcied i have 460 mega of clear space and the game wasnt even installed.. so: my quistion is : there is a way to clean the phone and get back the space for the uninstalled game?
ty very much helpers!

If you didnt have space, the app shouldnt even begin downloading. Check the android/obb folder on your internal sd

oh.. the folder was there and 3 other apps i dont really have on my device.. now i have more space. ty very much

If you're phone is rooted you can download Gl to SD and put your games on an microsd card.

my micro sd is coreppted . so i need to mange my space on my phone wisly . and i have to many apps folder without the apps and i take all of my space .

Yes, games mainly contribute to the consumption of large amounts of data. You can get microsd cards extremely cheap, that would greatly help would think your storage issues.

My ram is only at 46mb-100mb if i'm lucky. it isn't a big deal with the way RAM works. you actually want your ram used rather than free.
use diskusage.

See if my signature can help you in any way.

if you look at silentvistor's sig, it gives good ideas how to reduce background processes. you can also install tb and freeze a lot of the unncessary apps if you are rooted.
i have ran tw and aosp roms, and never had close to that much free ram unless i'm constantly closing out of the apps and killing them. it actually takes more battery to kill and fully reopen an app than it does to have it running in the bg. just get rid of the apps you don't want to use/run in the background.
use diskusage to find big folders, go in there, and see why you have such low memory. if it is stuff you want to keep, get a big sd card and move it all there or use a sd swap script.
