every time i reboot my device always popup a notification that stated that my device have low memory space but my system memory still have 400mb free.this problem occurred since i use stock rom of DXLM3.then i change to CM9,the problem still exist and showing same notification.
i was thought that its my home screen not enough space,then i set a blank home screen as main.but after reboot still showing same notification again.
any idea to this issue,since i already have no idea on how to solve it.
Well, I used to have that error when my system space went less than 100MB. Maybe that's the problem, because you mentioned 400MB over memory, but probably mistook that as storage space. Just saying. The cure for that is just uninstalling apps. But if you are saying correctly, that you have over 400MB system storage, then I can't help you.

Guys, this has never been a problem before because i use to turn my phone off at night, but lately I have left it on
I remember at the start I had about 80mb of phone memory left, i have installed no apps or anything and this morning i got a memory low notification stating i only have 12mb of memory.
I turned the phone off and on again and i'm back to 80mb.
Is this a hardware or software issue? can it be fixed?
Try installing autokiller. Its the featured app on the xda homepage atm
but im not talking about ram, im talking about physical phone memory
Oh you mean Rom?
Have you installed A2SD?

no i havent but youre missing the point
the memory goes down rapidly even if youre doing nothing if you dont turn the phone off
That could be a software bug. maybe someone else could help
Not sure but this could be down to the cache and similar stuff. Remember that the system manages automatically space and uses it for the cache when there is enough. When the free space goes under some limit the system starts clearing cache and the same happens when you reboot the phone.
I guess this could be similar to swap files on windows where the system stores recently 'used' stuff to the hard disk in order to recall them in a faster way than reloading from scratch.
If you have some problems you can always use quick cache cleaner or similar stuff, but I've never experienced problems: as soon as the system needed space it cleared the internet cache and other caches as well.

i know what you mean and i agree about the cache
i just find it ridiculous that after 3 days the system creates 70mb of cache on the phone memory? that's ridiculous
although powering off the phone did take longer than usual so something was being cleared..
i think its the backup function which do that.... in settings confidentiality i think
(im french not sure of the settings terms)
I've been trying to keep some space in /data by using A2SD and by symlinking some of the larger entries in /data/data to somewhere in the ext4 partition.
But do I need to keep a fair bit of space, or can I run it fairly close to the wire? Will it only cause problems if I actually run out?

As far as I know it won't cause any troubles. However, whenever I ran out of space on a stock rom, I noticed I couldn't sign in with google talk. When I deleted an app to free up some space, I could login again. That's the only thing I noticed that happened whenever your /data gets full.
There isn't really a big issue if you are worrying about it breaking your phone. I guess the worst thing would be a bootloop or constant app FC's (just my assumption). Expect apps not to work properly if the data partition is full.
Also that disk full icon can be annoying to see so you'll probably do something about the low space before it can cause you some problems.
No problem withthat
Hmm so he's a weird one .. some of my apps are missing names .. it's not the same ones, everytime i reboot, sometimes they're all fine .. then randomly i'll notice some of the names are missing .. anyone else with this? explanation/solution?
PS .. not an SD card thing, happens even if not plugged in ..

This also happens to me sometimes, you can still access the apps but it's just annoying that it looks broken.. This only happens to my apps that I moved from the internal memory to my phone memory (I do this to save space on my 2GB internal memory - more space for messages and emails).
IMO, if you move an app, and you put it in the homescreen as a shortcut, the next time you boot, when the system rebuilds the apps' information, it does not include the apps that were moved to the SD card.
What I do is remove them then just add them back to the folders, I used to do this after a second reboot, usually a second reboot does restore everything, but now I'd rather fix 1 or 2 apps, than rebooting everytime to let the phone correct itself...

Hmmm an annoying oversight by HTC then...
It's not the worse thing in the world, just a minor nuisance.. Thanks for the tip anyways

Hi
Has anyone tried conncecting their phone to their PC and doing a disk defrag on the phone's memory?
Would you recommend it?
Cheers
No, it's NAND/Flash.
Moving things around wears the memory.
You're probably better off by copying it to your PC, formatting the drive, and copying it back.
I haven't done that, I don't think it's needed.
There still plenty of free space to keep it from becoming framented anyway.

With the phone having flash memory it shouldn't be possible to defrag the drive. Rather than having to wait for a platter to rotate like a conventional hard drive it can access bits of data as and when it needs

Thanks for your replies. It was very helpful.
The only reason why I would want to do that is because I've been issues with the icons on my homescreens.
Whenever I restart or shutdown the phone the icons on the homescreens do not display properly. They either show the actual icon but without the name underneath it or the green android icon is displayed in its place. They display fine in the apps section. I noticed that this mainly occurs with apps that have been transferred to the phone's storage memory partition. The apps stored on the internal memory are unaffected. I've tried factory resets 3x now (including wiping the phone's "external" memory, but it seems to be progressively worse. More icons seem to be affected. Hence, I was wondering if it had someone to do with the way the phone is accessing the "external" memory that is causing this problem.
Any thoughts?

When an application is stored on the storage card or part of it is stored on the storage card it is inaccessible while the storage card is mounted as a disk drive on your pc. It is also seen in some other cases such as when you turn the phone on, it has to mount the storage card and basically check the apps are there before it displays the icons. I think this is what you are experiencing

Yes, I understand that it takes a while to mount the external memory to the phone after restarts or even discounting the phone from the computer but it the apps still do not display properly, even after leaving on for ages. There is a problem with my phone accessing my memory. Plus, the phone's memory is not a SD card, it is internal and an image drive so in theory it should load quicker.
Hello, My brother recently got the Xperia Play, he has had a little problem with it, it has the latest stock Rom on it, nothing changed (yet) but when loading certain apps (Bruce Lee game is the worst, it has never worked) it crashes, saying the phone has crashed and has a loading bar which takes a while to load and reboot, anyone know the cause of this? thanks in advance.
That post is just vague enough that.... I got nothing.

well there isn't much else I can say, it crashes on certain apps, Not like a typical android crash were the phone resets, but it instead has a purple loading bar and purple flashing notification l.e.d and says not to turn the phone off while it saves.
Normally it just says phone has crashed, but this time said about needing 200mb free on SDCARD, but there is over 1gb spare on the SDcard

Freaky. Never come across anything like that, myself. I hope you get it figured out
Looks like an in-game error rather than a system one. While you may have enough space on the sd card, maybe some of the sectors are corrupted? if you have a spare sd card, try that and then you can at least determine if its the sd card. If it isn't then you know its either the game, system or device.
