Hey guys
My phone was running a little slow so i was cleaning up, i use Titanium Back up and i selected to delete user cache and data.
As soon as i done this my SD card is kind of playing up. the apps that i moved to the SD card using S2E are not showing, but when i go into my music player i can play songs on my SD card.
Any help would be appreciated

There's no point of movings apps to sd because the data is still on the phone which will fill up quickly, I suggest u make an sd partition.

Hi guys I've been messing around with my phone all day. I have been restoring my apps back onto my phone and all that good stuff. I finally fixed my phone and when I was restoring my phone it tells me that my internal space is getting full. How is that possible if I only have 2 apps from the market installed? Any ideas?
thanks!
try clearing cache of your apps. If you have root access, download cachemate and use that. you can also move apps to your SD card to free internal space.
hope this helps
edit: you can also try wiping your phone back to stock if you continue with these issues
Weird I uninstaled Google maps update and and I now have 45MB of internal storage. lol??
Im restoring my apps then going to move them to my SD. Whats a good program to move them?

If you are using a custom ROM and it supports it then apps2sd because you can actually go beyond the 512 MB limit, you can make it as large as your entire SD card if you like... of course it has a trade off: the card must be repartitioned before you can use apps2sd meaning that you need to copy your card over a computer, partition and then copy back your stuff.
I use and would recommend that you use froyo to move apps to SD card. You can also move apps from the SD card back to your internal memory.
You can move most apps to SD Card; but some apps you do not have the option to move to SD card, and must remain on internal phone storage.
Follow these simple steps to move / to know whether the app can be moved or not.
1. Open Settings -> Applications ->Manage Applications and tap on the app you want to move.
2. Tap on the box “Move to SD card”.
3. Now tap on “On SD Card” to know whether your app has been moved or not.
You can also move back the app to phone memory by tapping on application and then selecting “Move to Phone” option.

The thing is..I only have 2 apps installed from the market and it's saying my internal memory is full. That just doesn't make sense.
Sprints stock ROM will give you a low storage warning when you have less than 45MB free space which I think is a little high. Thank god for apps2sd.
do you use the stock HTC mail app? if you do, try this: when you delete mail in the stock HTC mail app, it doesn't delete it, but just moves it to the 'Trash' folder? I've just cleared 6Mb that accumulated of the last month or so myself...
if all else fails, you might have to factory reset the evo.
thanks for all the help. so i needed up booting in recovery and clearing everything now it went to like 300mb and im restoring my apps. do you think i should put them on my SD card?
I would put what you can on your sd card...you can always move them back to the phone if needed

curious to know what caused that low memory problem in the first place? that's just weird.
i am not sure what causes the memory leak; but others i know with evos have had the same issue and a factory reset has solved the issue every time. good luck!
Many of my apps wont update from the market. It downloads them and them and begins to install the update and then I get a red triangle with and ! in the middle and it says update unsuccessful? What is going on? I have about 305mb of internal and a couple gigs external. Please help!
bump...
Please help!
First thing to try would be to clear data of the market. Go to the manage applications section and press the clear data and reboot. If that doesnt work then move all the apps you have on your sd card over to the phone. Then use a file explorer to delete the .android_secure folder. Don't worry, if you move all your apps over you wont lose any apps or data with the apps. Then reboot. Once you have rebooted you can move all of them back to the sd card. Once you start downloading again it will create a new android_secure folder Then you will be good to go. That folder gets corrupted during flashing, bad downloads, etc.

First off thank you for your response! I ended up doing the ladder of the two options but now it wont let me move the apps back to my sd card? I have my SD card partioned and for some reason when I try to move the app to my SD card with Titanium back up it looks like it moves it but when I click on the app again it still gives me the option to move to sd card? Can you help me with this?
Have you tried any apps from the market that will allow you to move besides titanium? Maybe a2sd or app admin yet? Try that and let me know.

I had this problem as well. It was with apps that are on my SD card only. The apps that stay on my phone memory never had problems updating. What I did to work around the not updating issue was, unmount my SD card. Then go back into market and download the apps that wouldn't update. Since your sd card is unmounted it will say "Install" instead of update for all the apps that are on the sd card, but they will still be in the "My Apps" section of the market. After you download the latest versions, remount the sd card and move the apps back over with app3sd or something similar. Hope this helps.
Ok, so i was looking at my storage usage today, and im a little curious. i am currently using 8.7gb of my SD Card. Only 13 apps are on my SD Card, I have 5 movies, only about 30 songs, about 100 photos, i do have 3 nandroid back up files, (i deleted 2 old ones) what the hell is sucking up all my storage?... lol If i go to my sd card via es file explorer or on my PC, i have a ton of folders but a lot of them are empty. Any ideas? Im tempted to wipe the card and put back only the things i want, but im not sure what on there is there as a dependency for something else.... lol
Like to know as well

Disk Usage will help you identify what's using up all your space
SD Maid will identify unused folders etc
Nandroid backups use up alot of space ; games have downloadable data which take up anywhere from 50mb-1.x GB...
Sandisk have a sd card management app ; try searching the market for it or try out one of the ones alread ysuggested ; Haven't tried them personally.
Thanks guys I'm gonna look into it, I forgot about game data I have 6 games, I'm willing to bet that's where its all at.
Edit - That SD Maid is a bad a** little program!!

I had root uninstaller and it had an option to auto backup everything I uninstalled. I accidentally stumbled over the backups and noticed they were 2.5 gb of apks...
If you use or used root uninstaller check sd/ root uninstaller/ autobackup.
Also check the sd card for game data leftovers.

I just got my Epic 4G, and lovin it - but, for some reason a few of my apps have vanished, leaving nothing but a generic Android icon with an SD logo. When I tap the icon I get a message saying "This application is not installed" I do have app2SD installed, but have not moved any apps yet. In the last day or so I have installed Titanium Backup & set up a Dropbox account for it to backup to and let that run once. I went ahead and put the 8GB SD card from my old HTC Hero in the external SD slot, and went through and deleted everything but pics and music. I didn't think it would make any difference as I never actually moved any apps to the SD (internal or external).
The only thing I can think of is I did use app2Sd on the hero, I'm not sure if that would have any effect on anything in the new phone. Thanks for any help!
Some apps like XDA automatically install to sd card, try to mount the card sounds like it's not mounted

Thanks for the help - it was mounted, I just ended up re-installing the apps and rebooting the phone, that took care of the issue. Still curious as to why it might have happened though.
Might be that you have multiple gmail accounts and you are not logged into the account to which the app belongs: see forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/android-user-group-323/error-application-not-installed-3441374.html
I'm really not liking the fact that game data doesn't store to default in Ext SD. I have 3 games with SD data of around 3.3gb which take up precious storage while my Ext SD sits free.
When I move these data folders to the Ext SD,the games ask to download data. Currently I have uninstalled those games (e.g NFS most wanted 1.8gb) because I have my nandroid back up and titanium back occupying around 2gb.
I have tried using link2sd/partitioning my Ext SD with Ext2 format, but that only installs the actual apk to the Ext2 partition while the game data still sits on the Internal SD.
I also tried directory bind but that often causes android to freeze untill I pull out my battery.
So please if any body knows how to place SD data on Ext SD and games are able to trace the data there, please HELP!

Was gonna suggest directory bind but you already tried it.
It works fine for me, no crashes when re-linking NOVA3 to Ext-SD.
I'm on stock ATT ICS 4.0.4 rooted.
just swap the int,sd with ext.sd card.
if you are on GB or ICS then you can do that esaly. there is a thread about it.
for JB (4.1 or 4.2) still isnt working.
Can I get the threads link?

Just flash light Rom version 9. The aroma installer asks you if you want to swap the internal with the external. I did it and it works great!

That ROM had a few bugs that I hated. For instance it repeats notifications. So I restored my rooted stock ICS by Dman after about 5hrs.

Well I am using it and so far so good. I especially like that lightRom fixes the GPS as well.

I was able to switch both SD's via the link given by lorddavid. So now my Ext SD is seen as internal storage while internal is seen as Ext storage. Hurray
