Hi there,
Phone storage at approx 36MB, all apps possible moved to SD card, available memory seems to fluctuate, seems as if something is eating it. Uninstalled many apps that were not possible to move to SD but problem returns. I remember having well over 100MB free space after flashing the phone with the UK generic rom, did not install much since, nothing that would explain this anyway. Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Edit: Found the problem, Sony's Data Monitor was the culprit, cleared over 70MB of data from there. Funny, was not even working properly...
good for you. my phone got bricked due to the same problem.
my phone suddenly said low on space even thought data monitor and etc2 was off. no other apps were installed. flashed several f/w's with wipe and still low on space. in the end my phone now would not boot at all.
only fastboot, flash mode and boots into se logo :\

Hey Guys,
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I'm having an issue with Rom Manager. Doesn't seem to matter what I click on to try to download, I keep getting 'Rom Download Error'.
Is this a known issue and if so what is the usual fix?
Thanks so much. Great work, as always.
have you tried clearing the download cache?
Yes.
I actually found the problem after nothing would work anywhere. Couldn't get anything from Rom Manager or the Market. Turns out my SD card was maxed due to all the backups I had made (had no idea they were upwards of 300MB a piece!). Weird though, because I thought anything downloaded from Rom Manager or the Market went to the internal phone storage by default. There's still plenty of space there.
Anyhow, I just erased a couple of unneeded backups and freed up over half a gig on the SD card and all is well again. Guess I'll upgrade to a 16GB card when the cashflow permits. Or maybe I'll ask for it for my birthday, heh (less than a week away).

I'm having this same problem and I have a 32 GB sd card. What's the point of paying for the full version if it doesn't work.
I've got an issue i'm hoping you guys can help me with.
I've got a stock froyo 2.2 rooted device.
just recently i've been having issues with my apps.
I back up my SD often so i formatted it and reloaded the data.
This helped until the first reboot then i started having issues again.
The device would show internal apps only, sometimes taking up to ten minutes to load the storage apps.
In the market i cannot download/install apps, even the ones on internal
(sometimes taking several minutes to install)
I've attempted to unmount the SD card but it hangs.
t it hangs when i try to use apps2sd, using my phone as a disk drive, checking disk usuage on both internal and storage, etc.
But i have full access when i use file managers and also when i take the card out of my phone and plug it into my computer. I see everything and everything works.
i have also noticed that it reports the internal memory wrong, sometimes it'll be 50mb's sometimes 130 mb's. All within hours of not doing anything.
i made a nand backup so i'm doing that now, maybe i forgot to clear cache or something last time?
any ideas would surely help, in all honesty it sounds like my internal drive is failing and i hope thats not the case.
thank you
hey guys, sorry to be trouble but frankly im just fed up, tried and searched everywhere, i have dhd with ARHD latest installed just the basic new rom by mike, lately ive been experiencing my phone rebooting everytime the apps load from the sd card, it just continuously reboots, i take sd card out and its all fine, tried many other cards and have the same issue, so somewhere someone said its because theres alot of apps on the sd card and the firmware or htc cant handle it so it shuts the phone down by doing a reboot, i currently have 123 apps on my sd card in the android secure folder with a total size of 1.41gb...i have about 60 apps on the desire hd internal storage, i have a 32 gb card, plenty of space in the card itself, heres the wierd bit, i delete a few apps from the android secure folder and the phone starts loading the apps perfectly and doesnt go into a reboot, however the problem comes back if i download new apps, please has anyone got an idea whats going on, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, then also it would randomly start saying sd ard unexpectedly removed, although thats only happened once so to be dafe i just took that card out and replaced it since i had another 32 gb lying about, i guess the real problem is the reboot....
ohh to make it more frustrating, i reflashed, clear memory, cache and everything before reflashing ARHD again...started with a few apps, lasted about 4 days then downloaded a little more and then woke up one day a week later, tried restarting my phone and there it goes again, constant reboots with sd card, the apps load, screen freezes and waaala reboot...
im desperate...had this phone over a year and now its just acting up when lots of apps are on there...
any help would be appreciated...
So no ideas then anyone lol...
It's a notorious issue with the dhd on gingerbread (revolution). I encountered it recently when sense kept restarting on my phone every five minutes after I moved too many apps to my sd card (even though most were frozen and the sd is class 10). After I made sure I had backups, I uninstalled a lot of apps from the sd card and everything is fine. Either try and uninstall some apps you aren't using or upgrade to icecoldsandwich.
Or the other option is to make a second partition on your sd card (backup first) using ext4 (use minitools), then use the app link2sd.
Link2sd app worked GREAT for me!
I can confirm this. If you put too many apps on SD card, it just reboots. Drove me crazy while I used stock ROM.
Here's some super duper tricks guys....Enjoy!!!

Hey,there's a cool way to get it going even if there are ton's of apps in SDcard.try this simple trick(Works for me with 735 apps on a 32GBcard) :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.Then when the launcher starts,goto 'settings' fast.
5.Then quickly goto the storage>Unmount SD card.
6.Then after the USB storage scanning is finished and all apps in phone memory are granted their requested permissions(just for rooted device),mount the SD card...
7.This time the reboot won't occur until you power it off and power it on again...
HAPPY TWEAKING!!!
Here's another trick too... :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.This time,just after the launcher start,plug in the USB cable and connect it to the computer in MTP mode.
5.When the SD card scanning just stops,plug the usb cable out(this'll give you a max of 1min to do it).
6.A second wave of Media Scanning occurs.
7.but this time,it won't even dare to touch your phone...
"Nothing is Impossible" :victory:
The final trick(Trick 3):
1..Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Take the SD card out.
3.Power it on again.
4.After booting and media scanning finished,put the SD card back in.
5.mount it in settings>storage>mount SD card.
6.Wait till the media scanning ends.
7.Now you're ready to go....
"Never Give UP on Anything" :highfive:
hey guys,just don't let the tech rule you.Rule the tech.these are just basics...Anyone who got to play with a smartphone for a long time can figure it out....Just tweak your brain!!!! Anyway Cheers bye now.... Hit thanks if I helped you.... :victory:
To start, I have done some digging around, but have not found any help.
My s 3 has become really sluggish, although the task manager shows no abnormal ram usage. I can not install apps from the play store, i CAN download them however. AVAST will not advance on it's scans, it stalls at 5%. The red LED light when charging will not appear as well. and like i mentioned earlier, the phone overall has been acting strange.
I did root my phone, but flashed it back to stock about 7 months ago and no problems have happened until this one.
This issue has affected me before, while rooted, and a factory reset solved it, but i am wondering if there is an alternate way to fix.
Can anyone offer some insight?
EDIT: The problem seems to come and go, sometimes the led will light up and i will be able to install apps, and then the problem will come back.
sometimes a funky sd-card will cause really strange problems.
You might try to backup your internal storage and sd-card files to a pc, format the internal storage and sd-card and copy your data back.

i removed the external sd-card, wiped the system cache, un-installed all apps that i didn't use regularly and that seems to have solved it. Thanks for the pointer!

awesome! I am glad things are working better for you!!
Using my wileyfox swift for a few days now and having a blast. This is the cheapest phone I ever got and i'm enjoying it
even more than my Nexus 4.
Today on the other hand, something strange happened to me.
Phone was working fine with a Samsung Evo 32 GB UHS-I formatted as internal storage.
Today I decided to move some apps from internal storage to the SD. I should have never done this..
After 3 apps the phone would stop moving them and stuck at 0%.
I thought this was just (another) android bug an rebooted the phone.
I moved 3 more apps and the same problem occurred.
This time the phone got stuck in bootloop at the wileyfox logo and a soft reset solved this.
When the phone booted I noticed 6 apps had disappeared, strange thing is. These weren't the apps I moved to my SD.
After opening the app drawer my phone froze completely, another soft reset was needed. This went on 5 more times, until I
removed the SD card. After this the phone started fine.
I checked the SD in my laptop and it was only showing the folder "Lost.dir".
When trying to format the SD card it was only showing a option to format it to 16MB.
After this i used Windows build in "disk manager" and noticed that there was a second (and main) partition of 16MB on the
card(?!).
After removing this partition I could format it to the original size.
It took me 5 tries before the phone would format it to use as internal storage. It would force close 4 times before with
an error message.
Can't find anything related about this issue on Google, is this a known bug?
TL;DR: Moving apps from internal storage to SD f'ed up my SD partition/card. Can't find anything about this issue online.
Phone info:
Wileyfox Swift
Cyanogenos 13.1.2, latest updates installed.
Not rooted, locked bootloader, nothing modified.
Even if u can use sd card as internal storage or whatever is not recomended to use it. Or even move apps on it my friend lost his 32gb sd card after using app to sd or something similar i dont remember
Actually this is some solid advice for everyone.
I tried using a build in feature and it did a whole lot of staying things. Since this happened I will stay away from the feature.
