[Q] Problem of intern memory - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
first I'm sorry for my poor english. I will do my best.
I have my Xperia Play since 1 month and I have change the SD card from 8 to 32 Go. I have many place to stock all the things and the RAM free is great. But the intern memory is less than 24 Mo when it's started.
I have install and use App to SD to do the best but there is the same problem.
How to please to have more free intern memory ? (it's a problem when I must download a think from android market and install an update for example).
Thanx.

Heads up, internal memory and RAM are the same thing in android. So I'm not really sure what you're asking since you say RAM is fine but internal memory isn't....

How can Ram and internal memory be the same thing? I have 270mb free memory but often low on ram when open too many apps
Anyways OP, you can look up on the Dalvik hack, not sure whether you need rooted phone or not..

He's talking about internal storage, not internal "memory".

Try rooting the phone and getting rid of bloatware. Also, some roms take up less space than others. I found there is more internal storage after the updates.

Because Ram and memory is the same thing! Storage or disk space has nothing to do with memory.

Guys you're arguing semantics here. The guy stated English wasn't his first language and he's quite clearly talking about internal storage, especially when he mentioned his SD card. Quit arguing about the difference between memory and storage.

Not mine either, that's why I understood exactly what he said

Agree..

TS, try to use link2sd, but before you use that you need to root your device and create a partition of your sd card..

Titanium is an Android user's best friend. Especially the pro version. Freezing bloatware makes a HUGE difference in both general performance and battery life.

Thanx a lot but Titanium is not easy to configure : I must be "rooted" but I don't know how. Installing BusyBox and SuperUser don't change that.

Superuser is availible in the market, anyone can download it. But it's useless without su in /system/xbin/

damn, oh well, hey do you know by any chance y my htc sense weather clock widget thing wouldn't be working????
How many of those apps you use actually daily that you would need ap2sd already =S -- I thought internal storage would be enough
1gb of apps?
damn
There isnt 1GB of app storage. There is just over 300mb
Still, thats ALOT of apps dude.
internal storage is just fine for me lol. And think aboiut when we get nand unlocked and have all that space open because of sense removal

Why would you gain space if you remove Sense?
/system is not the same filesystem as /data where your applications go.

[Q] Low on space messaging driving me crazy

Hey
I have a few apps on my SD card and this morning at random I recieved the "low on space" Message in my notifications area
It is driving me crazy and wondering why this could be as I have 41MB free.
I am rooted with the bootloader unlocked and I have not installed any app for a few days at least.
I have the add more space mod maybe this is just eye candy rather than actual space freed up.
Other than being rooted and bootloader unlocked I have stock .62 firmware with only reboot mod and some fonts replaced etc
If it is still there tomorrow evening I will just reflash my firmware however I would rather not need to
Thanks in advance,

Your phone is rooted and unlocked. Theres a way to format a partition on your sd to act like a internal memory. May that helps. Google it, i have seen a guide before

You can use tb and integrate some apps into ROM.
I use root explorer to check the space in system,then use titatium backup to move apps as system apps then push to ROM.

There's a well written Link2SD article written on Xperiablog.net. I've followed that and no longer have any memory issues.

If you mean can you still use them and update them then yes.....I have flash player,gmail,maps and other apps I cant remember I pushed to Rom and they still update ok.
By doing this you get extra internal space.
don't use all system space as I got fc 's when I had 10mb left

Increasing storage

Hey,
I am using the stock HTC ROM for now. It is unlocked via HTCdev and rooted. I need more storage space on my phone. Going through the forums I see that I can use Link2SD and/or App2SD.
What are the differences between these... and which one is preferable? I don't have a card reader, will that be a problem?

i use link2sd and find it alot easier, there is a thread on here some where with all you need.
you need a program called MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition which can be googled (get the free one)
also i will look for the thread for you now, its round here somewhere

Link2sd has a GUI it means its an app and it is easy to move apps and do many other things..
Link2sd is prefered when you have class 6 or less card. Data2sd is prefered when you have a fast card.
Well you can make a partition without card reader but just hope it doesnt give errors.
I personally partitioned my SD Card using CWM-recovery. I use S2E. You can try that out too, although the ones suggested above will also do the job well.

Install Titanium Backup - the pro version is well worth the money - and choose 'More' from the menu then ''Integrate sys Dalvik Cache into ROM' also choose 'Clean up the Dalvik Cache'. This could increase available memory by quite a bit.
On Link2SD on the menu choose 'More' and then 'Link dalvik-cache files' - this will free up even more.
Then do a reboot.

[Q] Move Apps to SD Card

I am running the T-Mobile Galaxy S III CM10 Nightly, I have the 16GB version with a 16GB SD Card. I for some reason don’t have the option to move apps to my SD Card? I tried a 3ed party app to do this but get an error saying I’m out of space but the SD card is blank?
I tried a few different SD Card with no luck? My file manager can see the SD Card and its content? I tried running a fix permissions but still no luck?
You can't move apps to your Sdcard. Samsung is to blame for this.

I was just giving you crap,
I would love for someone who knows more about this topic to actually reply with some details. But to offer my limited understanding, I have read of two options to move apps/data to ext SD:
Directory Bind, which you can read more about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550.
and
Link2SD, which you can read more about here, specifically with respect to the S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33831712&postcount=3379
I do not know how well these options truly work, as I am still investigating it for myself, but hopefully this will help. Of course, again, I would love for someone with more knowledge of this - specifically with respect to the S3 - to post here and offer some help.

I didn't partition the sd. Didn't know I was supposed to. I'm not sure what that does or what the benefit is. I'm very much the noob when it comes to that. Sorry for not having a good answer for you.

This is great, was just going to post that link Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I wanted to pass along something else useful. There is also this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849860 Where you flash a script and use a script manager app to to edit the init.d file to allow sd card mount on boot, essentially making the phone think that the external card is the internal storage.

Xperia PLAY very low internal storage HELP!

Hi my internal memory on my Xperia PLAY is 1.7 mb and everything is sooo slow and freezing and I can't even get into applications to delete apps. What can I do??? it's so frustrating!
HELP ME!!! Someone come on!!!
you can use link2sd it lets you move the apps to a ext partition... obviously you have to format first

But my phone is freezing and I can't access anything at all!
so you have only two options
1. you've saved all your data and flash a fresh install of a ftf so you can do the process with link2sd
2. conect to pc if you can and delete some data (music, pictures....) and see if you can with that
3. I don't know what else .... sorry
Okay thanks for that. Do I need root to use link2sd

If u dont care about the data being lost why dont u flash a stock .ftf it usually is a good back up. But of course your bootloader must be unlocked. Actually abit of info regarding your set up (kernel,rom, unlocked bootloader or not) will help us help you

Yes you do. You also need to create a partition on your SD card if you are going to link your apps to it
