[Q] Low Internal Space

Ok, I admit I have not done any extensive research on this issue as I'm at work and just dont have the time to pick through lots sources. I handed my mytouch slide down to my wife after less then a week to get a vibrant and now all of a sudden from nowhere she had almost no internal space. She had uninstalled everything except facebook in order to open txt messages and still had low internal space. As I said, I dont have time to deal with it in depth so I loaded to bootloader screen and did a data wipe on it. Now it looks better but still has a low low 74meg available internal space and not the 512 it should, wtf is going on here and any tips on getting this straightened out on the quick and easy?
If this has been addressed, then I know full well a flaming is inbound, but I'd really like to get this thing fixed for her so she stops whining about it (all married men will understand I hope)

Yes, this has been asked before. Is the phone rooted or was it ever rooted. A guy had the same problem. He said he had some old files when the phone was rooted and it ate up his memory.

I do appreciate it. The phone had been rooted before, first thing I do with each new phone, will have to do some poking around for that thread. Thanks for the heads up on the other thread.

Yea, your right. I would assume that it could be a file on the sd card causing the issue. I know it sounds stupid because the memory card shouldn't have anything to do with internal space, but its worth a try.

I had a memory problem as well right after I first rooted, but right after I flashed my first Rom everything was a-okay again. Maybe updating the phone to one of the Expresso Roms will help out. Hell, you're already rooted and it's the same OS and baked in stuff, so why not?

Here's what I go from the guy who solved his problem.
I went into the SD card and wiped ALL my root files (.zips/.apks). The phone was then factory reset. The rooting files et Al. take up a TON of internal memory space. If you want to keep it rooted, you are stuck with low internal memory...unless you move apps onto the external SD somehow. I didn't have the slide long enough to go crazy with apps and have this problem.
Basically...I un-rooted the phone for her but forgot to wipe the root files initially.

I restored the phone back to original ROM, so I don't understand how files on the SD could possibly put themselves back onto the internal memory. I need to locate the original stock ROM. Format the SD card, place rom onto said SD card, and reflash and hope for the best I suppose.

After rooting, you guys stayed on the ENG build. The ENG build has significantly less space on /data than a normal ROM. That's your problem.

I have the last post in this thread and I'm still awaiting an answer I'm on Chiefz OTA ROM which has a2sd via ext and it's working properly but I'm stuck at 28 MB's of internal space and cachemate only frees up about 2-3 MB's.

Hmm I wiped the cache from clockwork mod and my free space remained the same.

guys go into settings/applications/manage apps and then hit menu and sort by size ..see what the bigger apps are.. My dialer for some reason had over 10mbs in the data portion..I found out this was bc of pic messages, I deleted them and it fixed it some.. Same thing happened with my dads and his email app.. he had almost 100mbs in the data portion and the only way to clear it was a wipe, I couldnt find the culprit.. BTW deleting dalvik wont do anything as it just recreates itself after a reboot.

same issue with SLIDE-Reloaded v1
I mounted the SLIDE-Reloaded v1 Rom about three days ago and downloaded about 15 apps and all of a sudden I am low on space. This ROM is suppose to be similar to that of the stock ROM just a tad bit heavier yet I have nearly none left. My biggest app is Skype with 12mb and then a few on 5mb and it just goes downhill from there for the rest of the apps (as far as space goes it is minimal).

I see where all the apps are and when I tick delete they just don't go anywhere. My question is how does do I go about the about process mentioned by TrueBlue?
I initially rooted the phone and installed the CM6. I did not care for it and decided to change ROMs to this one. During the process I did a wipe data/factory reset and then I wiped cache Delv somthing.
Cheers

I was the one having the issue....I temp. fixed it back then (OG thread) but it just happened again today. We did a complete factory wipe and we will see what is causing it by NOT installing apps. My fiance only had 6 apps when the error occured...stock/un-rooted.
Will update as I see anything happening...

Sorry to bump this, but the problem still persists...I have tried just about everything I could think of, but to no avail.

Either ROM i flash is missing one of the programs. Idk if it's some corporate agreement or something, but it sucks.

I worked on this for a wee bit last night. Seems I will have to do something more than grab the apk and odex files and stick them in the system/app folder. Also, both roms are squeezing their limit on system space. Perhaps a reason why they are not included. I killed tye loggers and widgets and made room, threw the files in and cooked, but when it came out they aren't showing on the menu. Perhaps its a permission problem; it got late quick last night/this morning. I will take anothet look.

Do not forget to clear your Dalvik and cache files.

The thought occurred to me last night... Why don't I steal the system files from the euro [newest] build, replace what I must [see xda article on 6 easy steps to porting sense], and recook and voila only really porting from gsm to cdma not phone models; so, it shouldn't be too buggy. Until I get it built though, this flash might work. Can't test today but will later.

Galaxy nexus gone slow

Hi. My phone (on Stock unrooted 4.1.2, didn't upgrade to 4.2.2 for no reason) has recently become very, very slow. I guess the reason for that is that I recently copied an MKV movie to it. Ever since I did that, it has been dead slow. Even though I have deleted it now, the sluggishness still persists. There's nothing else that I did (ever since this problem started), and please note, my phone was blazing fast before this, so I don't expect suggestions to flash a new ROM or kernel (because I'm a noob when it comes to flashing ROMs and stuff, and I will have so many more problems doing so). I think my phone can go back to the state on stock ROM and kernel.
Another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988233) mentions the same problem, I've found out that I have the exact same problem. My phone wasn't sluggish before I copied the movie. But now that I have removed it, the phone is stil slow and sluggish*
* what does it mean when i say "slow and sluggish":
- pressing the lock button doesn't turn the screen on, i have to do it a couple of times
- apps take longer to load
- widgets don't load (most of them)
- everything that you can imagine (swiping, sliding, etc) is slow.
Help, please. Thanks in advance.

Clear the cache of the video player application that you tried to play the video with. That may help. Go into settings>apps>downloaded>your video app>clear cache.
If it's the Gallery, go into all applications instead of downloaded.

It may be caused by installing too many RAM-hogging apps, if you're rooted you can try using Greenify from the play store and see if that helps.

I didn't copy the movie for playing, I copied it to transfer it somewhere else. And I've cleared cache of the video player MX Player just to be sure, and uninstalled it. Still no use.
One more thing. Apps are not responding, even stock apps. Once I open an app, it takes forever to load, and the message pops up: "<app> is not responding, would you like to stop it?" with the options "wait, stop, report".
All this has started ever since I copied that movie to my phone. Before that, it was blazing fast, no RAM hogging apps or anything.

How about you try to save all your pics/files you have on your phone, and do a factory reset? I know that's the highest you will go, but still worth a shot!

if it is uTorrent, they're probably temp files that haven't been downloaded yet. If you watch how torrents download on a PC you'll see there are usually temp files that have to be "filled in" with the file data
if there are no active torrents then those files are probably just leftovers from abandoned downloads.

Right on all counts guys. And pretty fair eye balling as far away as you are. Yes my first thought was that uTorrent Beta was dropping some bugs, so naturally I uninstalled it and cleaned up what I could find within the system. Then I deleted the weird (looked like uTorrent folders and files. Cleaned up again but the suckers came back like bad pennies but this time they seemed to grow logarithmically. The seemed to be attracted to a folder that I had named "Programs" as I was going to stash uninstalled programs inside (go figure) as that was the first folder to be come affected again. So I got out the RAID, bombed them again; all 458 of them now; then formatted using the note 2 stock program and wonder of wonders they came back again. IOkay I'm thinking I'll fix all you guys. I pulled the external SD Card, slipped it into the (make it the right size thingy) to fit in the media slot of my laptops and long formatted the 32GB there. Guess what, no luck the [email protected]@rds were back the next day. My last thought is to boot up with Hiren's Boot DVD and do a 010101010101 back to brand new were it a real hard drive "destructive low level format but with my luck so far, I'll either ruin the SD Card or the damn bugs will return. I'm flat out of ideas, What do you guys all think? he said "still befuddled"!
BTW, I am as well clueless as to why Malware Bytes shows up three times in notification but it did catch a bug first time out. Or maybe it just wanted to look good..who knows at this point (laffin) I just uninstalled and reinstalled it now only one icon show up. So, I am Waaay open for suggestions. Thanks for your time and thoughts guys. Much appreciated.
PS. Just as a sidebar: It always upset me when I'd install one of these Android type programs. The nearly brag about stealing your undoes and shoes. Now I ask ya, why would something like AndroZip need to access my phone? Irked me a bit so I got to searching and by god there are APKs that are supposed to be able to turn x-ray vision off. Hoping this is not a waste of your time....The one I like best so far is App Ops, the next in the "try it out line" is Advanced Permissions Manager. Both rate well and have the right look and so far have not crippled a program. Amazing. Looking forward with baited breath for your sage like observations and advice....and that of any other or you smart guys. Thanks again.

[Q] Keep getting stock quote

So ever since I got the watch, every day (ie resets once a day) it shows me a stock quote from rl (Ralph Lauren Corp), the watch is the one generating the card because it happens before it synchs with the phone.
The thing is I don't have any stocks entered. I have never had one entered. I don't follow any stocks. This quote seems to be baked into the watch. Anyone else seen it and know what gets rid of it?

Try going to Google.com/finance and see if it is in your portfolio for some reason. If it is, delete it. If it isn't, then I have no idea.

Looks clean, no portfolio.

Pfft... I was guessing more along the lines that Ralph Lauren paid google to be the default demo stock for the stock app. Anyways it still pops up despite not being in any of the areas listed above.

Try opening the Google app on your phone, go to customize and see if its listed as a stock there.

If I were you I would at least attempt clearing all data from Android wear app in settings and doing a factory reset on the 360 itself. Is your 360 on latest 5.1.1?
