internal memory storage problem

i have installed alot of mobile browsers and apps it went from 129 mb to 124 mb. i uninstalled EVERYTHING, cleared my storage, used sprite backup but it still stays at 124 mb. what should i do??
tell me nd i will love you forever

you shouldnt have any problems when installing programs on the tilt's internal memory it self... aside from a little being slow but why dont you just get a storage card?

I do but most programs install and are hardcoded on the main memory. I have an sd card but yea.

Memory Problems

Hello,
I upgraded my phone with cooked/upgraded ROM,RADIO etc with no problems. Installed programs to the 4gb internal memory. However I had not manipulated any storage areas (advanced config tool). When installing programs i chose to install to internal storage. However some files must still be written into the phones smaller memory. It now wont let me install programs as it says too little memory. It wont let me install advanced configuration tool either. I would uninstall items if i knew what took up lots of the internal memory or useless items i could get rid of. When i look at the memory using advanced task manager it says
physical memory 67 mb used 113mb avail
virtual memory 5.31 used 32 avail
storage memory 84.54 used 85.81 avail (THIS IS THE ONE I NEED TO LOWER)
Storage card memory 439mb used 3832 avail
any advice or help is apprecitated

programs not saving to sd card but to phone

for some reason everytime i install programs it installs to my phone and not my sd card. when i run the cab it gives me the option storage card or phone and i select storage card, but it seems as if its still saving to my phone. any idea? my phones out of memory=(

Sometimes there's a folder called "Storage Card" in the phone and the system misses itself.
Or maybe you have problems with your SD card (do a search here about "SD corrupted" and read about it)
If you're experiencing problems always with this, you'ld better have to hard-reset.
Or you may try to modify the registry "by hand" using Total Commander or similar and tell that "storage card" is the card and not any folder.
Could you tell us what ROM are you using, and which is your memory / SD / etc. status ? (screen accessible via settings/system/memory) And how many apps are you installing there ?

basically my memory is reading the following:
from the storage card(2gb):
0.287gb used
1.610gb free
from my phone
122.5mb used
0.00mb free
i'm running abu's v10 ultimate with the 1.65.21.18 radio. its not the suggested but it hasn't given me any problems yet. its just this saving thinig that's been a problem. all of my ringtones and pictures go to the storage card so i don't understand why my CABS aren't. all i know is my phone keeps telling me critical memory. sheit.

how do i set it so that it saves in the storage card on total commander?

You got too much snizzle on your device, i'd recommed getting everything off via active sync/WMDC and performing a hard-reset start fresh back up your SD card and give a fat32 format with computer.
Then you'll be back on a roll with a fresh device

so i did the hard reset, but do i needa reformat my sd card too? its already as a fa32. so everything should be fine now? =)

SKTools is an excellent tool with many features. You can move apps from RAM to storage card. There is a trial version on their site: http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html

Captivate memory layout

It seems to me that the memory layout on the Captivate isn't in line with other Android devices.
Looking at the specs of the Captivate on www.google.com/phone I am seeing:
RAM: 512 MB
Internal Storage: 16000 MB
Yet in looking at "SD card and phone storage" in settings I see.
Internal phone storage, Available space: 1.60 GB
Internal SD card: 13.03 GB
It seems to me that the 16000 MB is partitioned so here are my questions.
1) Where is the 512 MB and what is it for?
2) Why is it if I install some app that is supposed to show me external SD usage it always instead shows that 13 GB internal flash volume?
And in a broader sense...
3) What is the general memory model for Android? I see RAM, Internal, External. What are they all for?

I'm not sure, but of that internal 16gb of storage space, is it merely partitioning a section of that away for the OS?

That is my question. I don't understand the memory model.

This might not be accurate since I don't own an android phone but i'm bored
1) Where is the 512 MB and what is it for?

System Ram, used by the OS and apps as volatile memory.
2) Why is it if I install some app that is supposed to show me external SD usage it always instead shows that 13 GB internal flash volume?

Because the 13gb volume is the "general" volume where you can personally store whatever you want, it functions just like an external Sd card would.

Ram - It is for the OS and apps, they need that as volatile storage to function, nothing is really stored there in the long term, the OS manages that so don't worry about it.
Internal memory - This used for many things, app install and to store files like music, pictures, etc. Internal memory is usually partitioned so that you only have a set amount (probalby that 1.60 you see ) for apps install and the rest if for whatever you want(the 13gb).
External memory - That is just an SD card you can use to expand your internal memory, right now (Android 2.1) it only works to add more space for files(music, photos, docs,) but with with froyo (android 2.2) you'll be able to move installed apps to this external (and the internal 13gb) drive.

Ok here's how it's laid out.
Yes, we have 512MB of RAM. However we as the end user will only see around 300MB of that, give or take 20MB. That's because some of it used by the OS and the GPU for different tasks.
That 16GB of internal storage you see, is partitioned off. We actually get around 13GB to use for ourselves. That 1.6GB you also see starts off as around 2GB (I would assume), and the rest used by the system for the OS, apps, cache, etc...
It's just like a hard drive on a computer in that respect. Sure you but a 1TB hard drive, but you actually only get to use around 850GB of it due to formatting and whatnot.

My problem is that I cant install apps in the 13gb partition, I dont know why..
I tried with:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 this is Auto mode but.. installs in 1.8 partition
..........................................1 this install on the 1.8 partition
..........................................2 this install on the sd card
..........................................3 doesent exist xD but i tried..
so does exist any way to install apps for default in the 13.3 internal SD card partition, or any way to errase the partition??..

Try using "apps2sd" from market. It should be app2sd or apps2sd.
But I don't understand the need to do this, given that Captivate has one of the best memory amounts allocated for system.
Also note that, the apps on SD won't be available during the times when apps like "media scanner" are running.

QUestion About The Storage of HTC desire626S

Hello EveryBody
I just have a question about my phone, in the description said, my phone have 8GB of internal memory, but when i conect into my pc said 4.00 gb somebody now how to increce the internal memory
regards

The other 4GBs are being used by the system, which means that there isn't anything you can do about that.
If you had a 16GB phone only about 11GBs would be available for the user to use, basically just know that you will never have the full 8GBs or 16,32GBs because the system, pre-installed apps and other things will take up some of the storage
But the 626s is getting Android 6.0 marshmallow, which has an option for the SD card to be used as internal storage.
