[Q] Memory Issues

hi there,
the official HTC Desire specs say it has 512mb internal memory, but mine says it has only a total of 148MB in the corresponding settings page. although i install all apps possible on the SD now i have a lack of memory... only 10MB left and i get a permanent icon in the status bar saying theres only little spacy left. and i dont have many apps installed and did a full wipe 2 weeks ago.
what can i do? did i maybe get a broken phone?
thanks in advance!

No your phone is fine, do some searing for A2SD+ or Data2sd.

i have App2SD installed! but having skype and stuff which is only installable on the internal memory uses almost all the space i have. most of my apps are on the SD though.

Not A2SD but A2SD+, this uses a ext partition instead of the froyo version.

Correct. I agree with TheGhost1233, for the moment, it's best to use A2SD+ and not FroYo A2SD. Data2ext is still in development and isn't completely finished yet. You still may find that not 100% or app data can be placed to the SD card because of developer restrictions (not all apps will move as they need to be modified by the developer).

cool stuff. thank you for your help! i will try it tonight after work!

FYI the official specs say the desire has 512mb rom not internal storage, rom includes all the partitions on the desire, boot, system, cache, data, recovery, radio hboot. blah blah blah

ok, so after a lot of months i managed to root and s-off my desire correctlty. i installed sandvolds android 4.0 rom with a built in a2sd script. im not exactly sure which one i chose, but it was "apps and dalvik on ext" but i still have the memory problem in install 5 or 6 apps and then i get the message that no free space is left to install more apps. i dont get it, arent apps supposed to be installed on the ext partition i chose during the installation? heres a screenshot of the memory status:

[SOLVED] Is SD card usage wrong?

Hello,
I encrypted internal memory.
Following, I installed several apps and moved some to the SD card.
The SD card usage not increased and the internal memory not decreased. So, I suppose it was due to the fact that I had encrypted the internal memory.
So, I uncrypted it. But, the issues remains.
How to solve this, please?

Setting, General, Storage, tap on Cached Data. It will ask you to confirm deleting it. Tap OK. It will free up some space.

Hello,
I doesn't help.
I did factory reset and formatted SD card.
The same issue remains.

Same here..
I found that the "moved to SD" apps were being moved to /mnt/asec which might be only a partition inside the ROM.
The external sd card is named as extSdCard and there is a "sdcard" that is actually a partition in the ROM.

Hello,
I did contact Samsung Support and used Smart Tutor.
"Move to SD" create the folders at SD card but doesn't move the files.
Even if you move the files manually it doesn't work, for example Amazon Kindle.
IT'S A BUG !!!

can I use sth like "directorybind", "foldermount"...
I'm using Link2SD Plus on my Xperia but I myself didn't like it

I use foldermount (pro version) to move several big folders to the external SD and it works like a charm on my T320.

I don't use the apptosd feature, I suggest installing link2sd its much better at moving the whole app to the external sdcard, and it just puts a link in the systems folders. Also I recommend buying the paid version of it as it will also move the data of the app as well

Hello,
I am very sure that Samsung must correct this bug.

I was wrong

After read "The SDCard Bible for the Moto G 4G/LTE" (https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7e59cc7baf), I concluded I was wrong.
My UHS-I SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ 32 GB (SDSDQUA-032G) is working fine.
Feature "Move to SD card" is working fine, too.

Confirm amount of built in ROM and RAM

Hi all,
Hi All, I bought the US Version 64 GB/4GB phone. How do you test/confirm the amount of ROM and RAM on your zf2? In Titanium Backup I see the following and wondering if this is a cause for concern. It shows ROM at 2.34 GB is this what others are seeing?
see screenshot below:

So what you are looking at is the system rom partition (closed system that can be accessed by root), your internal storage and your external storage. There is no mention of RAM there...
You need to check with some other app to find out your RAM...

ROM is your system partition, which is were you "system.img" goes, ram is around 3.7GB which is completly normal since the gpu takes ram and system runtime, and after that "user available ram" which is 1.4GB or so depends on how many apps your running etc...dont be concerned those numbers are completly normal.

Any suggestions on an app that does that? And whats the point of having 4 GB of ROM if it's partitioned and the OS can't even access it all?

Thats a safety measure in case the manufacture needs more space in a future OTA update, and you "can" access it with root, like i said stop worrying about rom partition size, sit back and enjoy your new phone.

With a 64GB Internal Storage, it wont make much difference
As for the app, look on the play store for a "Hardware Checker"

[Xposed & Root] Use External SD as Internal SD

--------
Standard Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for bricking, breaking or otherwise harming your device, please be aware of your options and the possible dangers. Make yourself familiar with the installation/disable process of xposed.
ALWAYS make backups before doing anything xposed/flash related.
--------
Just wanted to share a method I'm currently using to install a lot of games with filling the (small) 32gb internal storage.
Assuming you have already unlocked your bootloader, rooted and installed xposed on your phone. (Xposed not available for nougat yet, so no support for EMUI 5).
Note: This only works if you inserted an External SD card, this of course won't work with dual-sim).
1.Open the xposed installer and go to the download section.
2. Search for & install 'XinternalSD'.
3. After installation, activate the module.
4. Reboot.
5. After reboot, in my case, it should automatically have made the external sd be recognized by android as the internal SD.
6. Play around with the settings, you can enable it for all app, or just certain apps. You may need to reboot after changing settings.
7. Screenshot of my settings:

Warning: After setting this up, you may have to reinstall some apps, they may not be able to update, because the Play Store tries to update to the new location, where the app isn't.

Link 2 sd works for some app/games.
For example, spotify worked great, but asphalt would just try to redownload everything.
I've just downloaded a lot of games at once, mostly to test with my controller. However, some games have remained after testing and now I can play whatever and whenever i want, without having to make space. What else do I need the 128gb for .
Also, please don't quote the entire post .

fixed it, i get bored of games and uninstall then pretty quickly. i have gta and oceanhorn thats about it, my music takes a lot of space and i have a few movies as well i never will be able to use 32gb for games XD

probably we need an external gpu to play on this phone....

I give up on playing this 6x. The only heavy duty game I'm playing is Fallout Shelter on my Pixel XL.
