Frusterated with internal memory.. - Defy General

I have done searches on this forum and found others asking same question with no answer..
After flashing some ROMS/SBF the most I hve been able to get is 128mb for internal memory and non of the ROMS/SBF that I have tried would allow me to use my sdcard (which came stock with the phone). Most have given me about 48mb of internal storage..
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a fix for this?
What ROM/SBF do you recommend that has allowed you to have more than 128mb of internal storage for apps?

Er I think somethings not right with your phone I got 80 apps installed and 850meg still free on internal memory.

i already saw a guy disassembling the device on youtube. i will try to find it and send him a message. if htc still uses micro sd as internal memory, that's mean we can extend the internal memory and solve the issue.

"The microSD card slot is soldered into the motherboard."
Crazy Idea: Could be possible to use the SD Card memory as internal memory making some mod on a custom 8s rom?
pls extend it it makes me crazy..... cant install 1 good game....
I`ve asked the guys from "Rounded" who made this repair tutorial.They said that this phone does not have a microsd slot for the internal memory.But i am still optimist and believe that this will be fixed by the MS guys.

[Q] Problem with internal memory

Hey,
Im very new to this Forum.
I recently rooted my samsung grand i9082 and found this problem.
the problem is that my internal memory has gone up and now it says that im running out of memory.
so i uninstalled most of my apps and checked the storage and found that in the misc files there was 2.33Gb used space.
i tried to check the files which had that much memory and the interesting thing is that it doesnt show files that has 2.33Gb of capacity.
Now im completely confused. Whats wrong. i don know can this be due to the backup or anything.

Yes, your backup files are probably not showing in system ka storage management app...
Try downloading ES File Explorer, it has an SD Card Analyst feature which shows you how much space which file is taking up...and it shows ALL files.

[Q] Wheres my space going?

Hello guys,
This might seem like an idiot question but I totally confused here
My internal note 2 memory says 3.19GB free of 10.4GB. I am trying to clean my space so I plugged the note 2 to my pc on WIndows 8.1.
I selected all the files and folders in the memory and checked their size which summed up to only 3.24GB! I am really trying to find out whats taking so much space. Should I connect my Note II to Linux and check or how do I find out the total contents of thiis internal memory??
Please help me!
Thanks
It should be caused by using warez??
A lot of apps do a mess. I recomend wipe internal storage

Hello,
Thanks about your quick reply! :highfive:
Well it may be but not in my case as almost all apps I use are either free or purchased properly.

As about this,
This is exactly what I would be keeping as my last option. Essentially wiping internal memory is almost equal to factory reset, something I don't want to do unless I don't have any other choice..
Any way of of checking whats taking the memory without formatting would be great
Thanks

In Titanium Backup app you find the exact memory stats devided in system and internal. To optimize internal mem push as many apps to ext sd as you can.
Besides: From Windows/PC you normally can't see hidden or system files.
For further information (eg more space in system) feel free to ask.

Hello,
Thanks for your insight. I am aware of the Windows dilemma hence was trying to get through using Linux but I could not :crying:
However I am already using the Titanium Backup app.. I have pushed almost all possible apps to external memory however I came across a problem where the majority data and memory are still being taken up on the internal memory by that app. Clearing Google Camera, Chaton and Camera Awesome's data, I almost got a GB in internal memory!
Speaking of this I have run into a very weird problem. :silly:
after rooting, I force transferred many apps to external memory. Since this Every time I restart my Note II its forgets my default launcher
Any idea what screwed this up?
Regards

You can't move or force all apps to ext sd, especially system or system related apps, so I recommend to reinstall your rom and try to move step by step, so you can revert back by only changing one app back to int. I remember an app which forces apps to ext and also with that app it is recommended to change quite a descent amount of apps.

Are you sure? Even in folder priv-app you find system apps and some are not clearly assignable.

Your problem can be related to apps that uses root access - this type of apps leaves a lot of trash even after uninstalling, so I recommend you to use only those apps, that are really needed.
Mine phone memory got piled up like yours...Titanium Backup helped me. Pushed lots of app to ext SD....

Internal Memory full

Hi all,
I've just rooted and changed the rom of my HOX and to be honest it's amazing how fast it is and the battery seems to last a little bit longer.
Anyway, I am not writing a new thread for that of course. After trying to install several Apps, I've figured out that my internal memory is almost full even if I only have 706mo of apps. I've moved everything I can from the internal memory to the "sd card" and still, it only remains me 1.28gb of free space.
Do you know what's this "Other" folder which is taking me 4.79Gb of space?
Do you know if I can delete some stuffs?
Thanks,
Alex
Hey
Hi,
It shows others which includes space for system partition and kernel and all the system which is stored on your nand memory.
You only get around 2gb for applications
If I helped you hit that thanks button
Thanks for your answer but I know that. I would like to know if I can get clean the space used by the system and the kernel in order to get more free space?

it's a fictional space that will make you believe you really have 32GB...
its just a dirty trick by htc.
in reality you have 29gb where 2 is the data 25 is the "sd card" and the rest is system.

Where has all my storage space gone?

Hello,
Just upgraded my LG G4 (H815) to marshmallow. Before upgrade I had about 15GB internal storage space empty. During upgrade my phone asked if I wanted to back up and I said yes. Now after upgrade my phone is saying I have 22.70 GB of total storage and have used up 22.02 GB!!! Where did all my space go? Is there a hidden backup file sitting somewhere which is eating up all my space? Can someone please guide me? I am at a loss. Don't really want to reset my phone if I can avoid it. I am having difficulty installing any new apps because of such low space. Also, I do have an external SD card and have already transferred most of the apps there. Still no joy. Many thanks in advance.
