Hi,
My arc's internal memory left is 11mb which is 3%.
I have rooted & deleted many big apps. I don't have many text messages but 4 email accounts.
Only downloaded phone apps are SwiftKey, zdbox, titanium backup pro & beautiful widgets.
Due to this I often get lag, home screens removing every widgets and apps rearranging themselves after reboot. If I don't reboot its often unusable. I can no longer download apps on the market or update sone apps.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Just interested as I haven't heard of anyone else with the same problem before.
I originally intended to keep this phone for long but will now just wait for a successor with more memory.
Really frustrating as I had a xperia x1 before with many text messages and emails without issues.

Try Link2SD or App2SD for the internal memory issue.
And for speed up your device, I recommend the V6 Supercharger.

you only isntalled 4 apps and only 11mb remaining ?
i installed lots 8 apps, and lots of games. most games can be moved to sd, but some cannot and uses phone internal memory, and i still have around 100mb free space..

I have 126 user apps installed... with link2sd Still 132MB internal memory free. And yes, try Supercharger.
I have 4 apps on the phone because they wouldn't work very well if I transfered them to sd card.
But other apps that can't be transferred I have already done so when I rooted my phone. I even deleted bloatware.
Seriously I am completely stumped why I'm so low in memory & it keeps getting lower, 1 month ago it was 10%.
Maybe it's my email? I have 2 Gmail & 2 hotmail accounts. The 2 Gmail doesn't get used though as I put manual download for emails.
Thanks for the replies!

I think you should do a factory reset and install each app step by step, so you can see which app is using that much memory.
I'll do that thanks... Do you know if there's anyway to save the playlists on music player though as I don't really wanna reorganise all my music...

try clearing cache first.. that can get huge sometimes.

Try to backup your playlists on your sdcard.
simple reflash first.
Thanks I just factory reset & now I have 50% memory. Which still don't make sense now as I have installed more apps on phone & kept all original text messages.
I reckon I might have had some kind of malware or virus beforehand.

bloatware (apps which instaled on phone before you buy it)
Nah wasn't bloatware as I permanently deleted them when phone was rooted. Though I did install some non market apps before, which I reckon installed hidden malware or app that was taking the memory.

why don't you move some of the installed apps to SD card?!
um, I moved all the apps to SD card I could. Meaning the ones that support moving. I could force move to SD card for some apps, but don't want to screw with that.

That message is there for a reason and if you know what your doing some times it just takes common sense you can move most of your apps to SD card even if the creator of the app doesn't allow it in the app setting 's

How come some phones are okay with less than 20MB free... anyway, arc's internal memory size is way too small... "common sense", huh? Well, I have my own reasons for not wanting to force the apps to SD...
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Links2SD works wonderfully for the Xperia 2011 phones.
I did the "move to SD" for every app possible, but still ran into issues downloading games from the Market due to only have 20-70 MB free on the internal phone storage.
But, using Links2SD, creating a 1 GB partition on the SDCard for apps, and moving/linking pretty much everything to that, I have over 150 MB free internal phone storage for app downloading.

It isn't big, but not too small.
Some of us, as I do, have more than 100 apps and ~100MB left.
Once I had 145 apps and 80MB were left, I just use the native App2SD. No Link2SD etc
Do you clear your cache regulary?
Gives me back ~10MB each day

Well, if you compare Arc's internal memory to some other devices' that have 16GB of it, it does seem tiny, doesn't it? I have more than 200 apps and I use Apps2SD, so I move apps to SD if they support it. I used TB to force some huge apks to SD, like Epic Blue and Green themes for CM7, but it's a bit of a pain if you're on one of those themes when you have to reboot, because you have to reapply the theme after the phone boots up. And yes, I wipe cache on daily basis. I'm getting myself 32GB memory card so I'll probably try Link2SD or something like that. I currently have 2 class 8GB card which I got with the phone. Lousy card, lol.
But anyway, I just wanted to know if it was possible to get rid of that Low on space message. Like, okay, I know I'm low on space, I'll see what I can do later, but get the fck away from my status bar now cos you annoy me...

Why does my phone give me these weird "insufficient storage" pop ups when I have free memory. I barely have any apps on my phone and I just went to update tb and it said that I have no room. Also when I move apps to sd card most of them work but some of them give me this message as well even tho I know they're lying because I know I have free memory on both the phone and sd card but I get this message and they don't let me install or move apps. Anyone have this problem before? And I've seeen it on different roms so I don't think a reflash will fix it.

First, what program is giving the error, and what segment of the memory is it trying to write to. If you are trying to write to the SD card and there is no room there, then you might have a problem with that. On the other hand, it may be another section.
Additionally, you may have downloaded a program that wants to allocate a very large chunk of space for itself. More than you have. Some games download their data when you first load them. They often check for sufficient space first. They can use well over half a gigabyte, so if your SD Card doesn't have that space free, it will error out.
I know wht you're talking about but I don't recall titanium backup needing an extra couple hundred Mbs to work lol.
Its happening with every freaking app I'm trying to download off the market or install off my sd card. And even the apps I'm trying to simply update off the market.
And I have like 4gbs free on my sd card and 500 mb free on the phones storage.

There's been several ways of going about remedying this, there's the odin to stock method, the factory reset, and the clear market data method. I've personally only tried the latter 2, and they work temporarily in my experience.

DONT REFLASH... lol titanium backup odex file is corrupt, remove it from system/app and uninstall TB, then download again
What hsppens is there are fragments of the old programs still In data that screw up the reinstall. Search with root explorer and nuke those bits. For instance if youtube app fails, search for youtube and a list of all files with that in the name will pop up. Nuke those files (don't forget to make r/w). Other option is odin and clean imstall.

Is there a app that can automatically clean old left behind files like 1click cleanup.
Hi all, I too had that problem before when I was on stock EC05 BML and had little space on internal memory. I could not upgrade Titanuim so I got so mad that I started getting into custom roms with MTD to have more space. Also helps if you get a class 10 32gb card.
I saw that the July 15, Titanium try to download from market it failed because not enough space and I was tripping but I used the lucky and it cleaned the messed up left behind odex, then install was coolio.
I also get sometimes could not parse error on .apk and never could figure it out. I guess they are not compatible with my phone since they were not downloaded from market...

Titanium Backup is one of the most useful programs to come along for people who root and flash. It is well worht a few bucks ($6) to guarantee working updates, support the developer, freeze apps, batch work, and to save all your data. It pains me to see a program discussed here whose sole purpose is to cheat the developer out of a few bucks.

I just had to scroll back and re- read the whole thread. The second time around I saw the app you refered to by name. After Google searching it I realized what you are talking about. I agree with your statement and am a proud owner of Titanium Backup.
He says it will get rid of all 'corrupt data'?? I don't understand...?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I think that this is sometimes caused by unnecessarily re-flashing the gapps when doing a dirty upgrade upgrade on cm or aokp. It also happened to me after advance-restoring data on aokp. Duplicity seems to be the main connection here. Clean installs are good for the epic's soul.

Does anyone have any experience with this app? Its free with a pro version from the Play store like Titanium Backup, but I ran into a lot of problems with TiBu freezing. So anyway, I know if you format parts of your card the back up is lost and I know you can move the storage place, but it gives the option for free to store backups in DropBox. ( Something that is only in the paid TiBu.) The thing is I can find no way to restore from DropBox. All the apk's are there in the folder I created, but the app doesn't seem to be able to access it. Just wondering if anyone uses this app in this way or has had any better success with this over others.
Does it need you to download from dropbox before you can restore?
I dunno, just wondering. Hope you figure it out.
It just doesn't give any option to restore from drop box. I just thought it was a nice alternative and a free one that used drop box too. It also restores apps pretty quickly...more so than Titanium anyway. I guess the work around is to just change the save to the external sd for now.
I have it, works great. I got the pro version so i could backup up data too. Saves everything to ur memory card.

That sounds about right, but what exactly are you doing when the freezing usually occurs? What apps are running in the background while this occurs? If youre not sure, go to Dev Options and check 'Back kills all activities' and see how it operates for a day with that being checked. If that is checked, uncheck it and allow the RAM you have free to be used the way it needs to.
Also, are you Pure Stock or Stock Rooted?
You could also go to Applications Manager> Running, switch to Cached Processes and see if any of those labor intensive activities are showing High(30 +) MBs
I should have been more specific. But I was talking about internal storage.

But you didn't answer the internal memory question. Open MyFiles app and tap the pie chart near top right and read the middle column, Device storage, I think. 32GB capacity; what's available?
Using stock Swype or paid Swype from Play? Too many keyboards shouldn't be an issue but being rooted, I remove unwanted keyboards and stick with modified paid Swype (yes, I paid for it but modify it to get more alternate symbols and add a dedicated number row like the Samsung keyboard does). I think if I were not rooted, I'd disable them if possible if using another. I'm sure you've heard of Swype lag; it should be resolved even in the stock version. I've used both with no issue but didn't have both installed at same time.
When you upgraded to Lollipop, did you factory reset and reinstall apps and updates? Short of that, clearing data and cache for the suspect applications in app manager is the only thing I'd suggest at this point. Another OTA update is expected sooon; if rooted, harder to take OTA.

Perhaps I tripped up over the definition of Swype. When I say stock, I'm referring to the included version of Swype that Samsung provides. Maybe it updates from Google Play? IDK.
If you're using the paid version of Swype, try disabling the stock version with application manager. It's been too long for me, don't know if that app can be disabled.
But despite the ill communicated Swype versions, I'd say your issue is the fact you haven't factory reset after or before the lollipop OTA. I actually seen that myself because I took the OB7 OTA rather than wait for an Odin tar. The /data file system was mixed Lollipop and KitKat. A factory reset will get the file system correct. Maybe that helps. I can't think of a good application backup that works well for non rooted phones. But I hear this one is good. Backup before you factory reset. Maybe Android M gets some of this right, like full app and data restore and file management coherence between updates.

That's true; cache uncontrolled can can get out of hand, especially with browsers and ads. I don't manage mine manually but only have 39MB cache. Rooted has its advantages. I use an app with a lot of white listed apps to avoid bulk cache wiping.

Cached data and downloads is usually my problem. I also use the paid version of Swype and in hangouts it lags or won't pop up until I close and open it again.
