[Q] Is 320 Mb of internal storage enough?

Arc/Arc S has 320 Mb of internal storage (user available, at least)
So, I am asking how many apps (not huge ones, like HD games) can you install before phone memory gets full?

with Root and link2sd app you can download as this much

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but without root I can geruntee that you can download about 100+ if you exclude the hd games and used the native app2sd

I had 140 apps installed and 80MB free, just used native App2SD.
Now I cleared out the Junk and have ~100 Apps or so left and 100-105MB free memory

Thanks, that shall be enough for me.
I'm planning on installing ~50 apps (+some games) so I guess there won't be any problems.

yes you are right, root+link2sd is the best way

what is Link2sd ? I'm sorry but I'm still new to the android system. Is there a way lock my download files onto the SD card and not onto the phone memory ?

Link2sd is a app that can move your aplications/games to a second partition created by you on your SD card.

Yes, it is, just follow this guide

Remember*
Arc/Arc S can read EXT3 using link2sd.
I'm using it and i fell a lot better than with FAT32.

Another app to free internal memory is APPS2SD. You can very easily move your apps to the SD card.

Not every apps can be moved. I mean by app2sd.

I use Link2SD and a 32GB Class 10 memcard with 1GB EXT3 partition All apps (games, other apps + system: like google maps, flash, etc.) moved to Ext partition This is very best solution for me
I have in the phone 265MB free space and 595MB free on EXT3 part.

I also wanna know. Also I want to know a RAM management app coz when I quit heavy games like FIFA 12, GTA III, Asphalt 6, Backstab the icons of my home screen restart. Due to RAM
Xperia Arc (rooted)

I have around 40 apps installed (including few HD games) and 130 Mb free.
None of my apps are on SD Card.

[solved] Incorrect Free Space on SD Card

I seem to be losing space on my SD Card. I delete stuff but I don't see the space being freed up.
If I use WinDirStat it tells me that the SD card is using 18.8GB of space, but is only showing 1.4GB of free space. If i run a check on the card I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't understand where the free space is going. Any help please? I seem to be missing about 5GB of space. I'm running ARHD 3.1.0.
Thanks

After reading about others with the same problem, I copied the data off the sdcard, reformatted, copied the data back and now all the correct free space is there.

This happened to mine too. I already did what you have done and formatted the sd partition and i gained 3gb from 5gb to 8gb which was great but woke this morning to have lost another 1gb overnight. I thought i had solved it but obviously not. Hope this gets sorted soon.

The problem is that after files deletion their space goes to the bad sectors - just run chkdsk to see this. Seems problem with internal SD driver or something like this

After Chkdsk is done and errors have been found, what now?

same issue, i lost 4gb in "bad sectors". That is a lot!
edit: formatted sd card en all bad sectors were gone. Had the full 25gb available

This may be a separate issue, as I didn't have any bad sectors and after reformatting then copying the data back I haven't had a reappearance of the problem. I've been flashing more ROMs, deleting files, copying new files and so far the space is being correctly reported

Is this a problem for people using custom roms ony?

I also encountered this problem, only format SD card can be resolved
Some people say that the cause of the problem is caused by the choice of installation location

no really. on russian forum this happend also with stock rom 1.29.405
And ive found that cluster size on my internal SD was 32Kb, but it should be 16kb for 32gb storage.
Formatting through windows with default cluster size will help. (now its 16kb)

Link2SD with [ROM/4.1.2] [Dec 01 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v2.7

I love link2sd and would like to take it with me after I upgraded my Desire from CM7.2 to a CM10mod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
But even after erasing the A2SD Scripts, I get a message telling me ext3 is not orking with this rom, giving Fat32 a try is recommended.

You think it's worth the try to format the 2nd partition in FAT32? Or do you have another clue what could be the matter?

It says that sd-ext2 isn't working, because you probably don't have a second ext partition, and you won't need it.
Try going through settings and stop the app from searching for a second ext partition.

Hey - thx for your reply!
I was running link2SD ith CM7.2 before. So my SD should be still parted into a main partition for all my mess and a 2nd ext3 partition for link2SD to store the apps.
That's why I wonder why link2sd it is not finding it...

So, you have a fat32 main partition with all your stuff, and an ext partition for apps. Link2sd is looking for a second ext partition, as if you had 3 partitions on your sd-card. As yoy don't have a third partition, it gives that error.

Ummm - a second as if there were 3? That's confusing me. Why can't it find the ext as before?
And how could I point it towards that one?

anyone left who'sgot an idea?
Is the ext3 not found?
Is an ext3 not working with this ROM?
thx!

Ext3 work in this rom, in the developer thread an user use it.
First ics based rom i installed give me some trouble due to wrong partition alignment, previous working on gb. Can you check partition in your recovery?

[Q] External SD always full

Hi Folks,
Tried a few search with different word but my problem doesn't create any issues with the phone "itself".
My T989d is equipped with a microSD of 8Gb. Since I've started to root, ( stock rom ) my external storage was in the 50-60% full maximum... Now, I'm barely able to keep 347Mb of free space !! The only .zip file I kept on the card are the rom zip file I'm enjoying as a DD ( in case I don't like a new rom I'm testing once and then ), darkside superwipe and super cache. I can't even restore my apps that are back'd up...
Should I use less storage by backing up online via My Backup Pro and delete the other backup files ?
How / where can I find a list of files/folders I can delete to gain extra space ? Because since I'm testing roms, can't restore any apps since my external storage is always full !
I'm enjoying the Infamous 3.1 rom ( beside that I miss the swipe keyboard )
Thans for any advice or help, it is really appreciated !

Take a snap shot of ur storage in settings.

Ok so ur sd is full and ur internal has room. This is what i would do. Pop out sd card and put it an adapter and plug it i. To ur computer not using ur phone. Then see what u have that u want or buy a new 64/32gb card and transfer everything over and u will have plenty of room. Last time i had to do this it took a while to clear it out

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"
