Why am i getting not enough memory on my phone - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have been getting notifications that my memory is getting low.. And i tried downloading more apps but it wont let me..
My internal memory still has like 9GB left on it and on top of that i have a 8gb sd card..

Quick memory question.

I just got my Dinc yesterday and I was wanted to know the difference between internal storage and phone memory and what they're used for. I came from the Eris so I've never seen internal storage. Thanks.

Internal storage is like sd card type memory that's not removable. Phone memory is for apps, the rom, data etc.
At least I think so lol

Whatever you want. You can put music on there, set your camera to save on internal. No app data tho...

If I could ask, where are you seeing "Internal Storage" and "Phone Memory?"

Low Space OTA

So I have the OTA and lately its been showing the low space warning when there is clearly 430MB available when I check it. Any ideas on why it's like that, I even moved most of the apps to the SD Card.

What version are you running? You can find that in the About Phone menu.
The low space is referring to the /data/data partition which only has 150 Megs of space. Do you have a lot of apps installed from the market? How about lots of mail?

Well yeah I have a lot of apps but most of them are on the SD card. I'm running the release 2 from incubus?

eMMC stands for embedded multi media card. Its basically the SD that came with your phone. You can use an app called storage analyzer to see what is taking up space on the emmc .

Missing storage space

I can't figure out where about 4gb of mystery space has gone. The screen shot shows the breakdown of storage yet I only have 6gb free. I've used sd maid to cleanup, corpse find etc.., as well as removed my titanium backups so see if that's where my missing storage went.
I'm running the latest cm10 nightly.

That's crazy, have you tried the app "DiskUsage"?

If you've run SD Maid, it may be your best option is to format your data. I made a post a while ago that lays out steps on how I did it to reclaim space, but not lose all my data: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33918194

Yes this is normal.

Yes this is normal, 2GB are for RAM, some for the OS etc. and the rest is free memory.

Wth does ram have to do with nand memory?
To OP. That is correct amount but not cause of RAM. The 16gb memory is partitioned for system, cache data etc.
And the one left is your sdcard.
You can always an external sdcard for music, photos and movies.
But game data and some other data like from gps apps must install in internal.

I just read something about nand memory being used as ram extension. I have no idea if that is the case here or not. http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/The_adoption_of_NAND_Flash_as_a_Seamless_Extension_of_RAM_Memory

If I understand that correctly it means that after ram is filled it will use nand space as virtual ram. I think that would decrease read speeds as nand is significantly slower than ram.

Yes that is what I understood from the article too, so we have dedicated 2gb of ram that has nothing to do with the 16 gb of storage, right? I wasnt entirely sure

Yes. Ram is autonomous memory. Nothing to do with the internal 16gb nand flash memory.
