Internal Storage Limit

Trying very hard to keep the Internal Storage on my Eris @ 50% . Wonder how low I can really go before I run into issues ???? Too bad I'm not rooted otherwise I would move/install some of my apps to my 16GB MSD card.

Just try to make sure you're only hanging on to apps you actually use versus something that was cool for like 10 minutes and then forgotten. I would also reccomend wiping dalvik cache every now and then. Also there's a cool little app called app monster that allows you to store apps on your sd card. you can't run them but if its something you dont want to get rid of then you can have a back up.

why does it matter if your internal storage is at 50%?

Maybe a bit of obsessive complusive (not saying this to be derogatory) mixed with hoping to keep his phone as fast as possible?

Don't know about the compulsive part, but yeah I am looking to keep my phone "mean and lean". I gather I can load up my phone with tons of Apps and not be concerned about how little storage space I wind up with. By the way I am a Windows person , and learned the hard way . Tis not the case with Android?

Yea, the system paths are set up a little different in that respect. What's holding you back from rooting? If you're leaked, I understand, and sympathize. If it's warranty issues, then you can always recover and go back to stock. If you aren't sure how to do it, well there are plenty of how-to's and helpful people here. Apps 2 SD is pretty nice, and that's just the beginning...muahaha.

I was leaked the day it came out in March ..just my luck . Just wondered about space. Saw/heard on another forum where someone ran out of space and ran into issues. To me this is the best forum to get positive answers

Why does my SD card keep disappearing ?

So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?

no one knows why this happens ?

no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.

Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.

It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.​

maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at

happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.

Issue with Mass Storage Mode on PC

For some reason, when I plug my phone into my PC and put the phone in Mass Storage mode, only the Internal Memory shows up, not the SD-Card. I've never had this problem before. The only thing I can think of that may possibly be causing this is the fact that my SD-Card is currently full, tho I don't see why this would cause it not too show up, but you never know. So I am hoping that someone on here has the answer as to why the External Memory Card isn't showing up and how to fix it so it does show up.
thankfully it still shows up in my phone itself and I can access all the files through my root browser, which I can use to delete, move/transfer files to and from the SD-Card and all that, but it's just a lot easier and faster to do it through the computer. So I really want it to show up like it normally does. Like I said, it's never not shown up before. I've had this phone for about a year and never had this problem with it. So any help fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated

Not exactly sure what to tell you, but do you have a micro sd adapter that you could pull your card out of your phone, insert it into you pc, transfer all files, format card, transfer them back and reinsert into your phone and check?

no, if i did I woulda just used that, but now that you mention it, thats a hella good idea, and I will remember that for the future, thanks for the info. Apparently it was just being retarded cause I just plugged it in, and bam, it worked lol it brought up both my Internal and External memory in Win7. I think its just the phone itself. It's always been a really finicky phone, and when I dropped it off this big rock, what they call a "Glacial Erratic" that is next door to my house
which, by the way, is the biggest Glacial Erratic in the country apparently, according to the newspaper and wikipedia and the US Geological Survey who came out and analyzed it. Which its kinda retarded they just figured that out last year, i moved here 10-years ago when i was 16, and even then I knew it was a glacial erratic and friends of mine who have lived here all their life knew it was a glacial rock too, tho they didn't know the term Glacial "ERRATIC" but yea, just figured I throw that interesting fact in there. Sucks now that it suddenly has become popular even tho like i said, its been there for thousands of years, and our house which is only like 20 ft from it, has been here since the late 80's, early 90's, and they just now "Discovered" it lol
But anyways, dropping it off that Glacial Erratic, definitely didn't help matters much hahaha, but even before i dropped it, its always been really touch and go with this phone. the drop, tho it did no external damage thanks to the case, seems oto have made it worse, and my batter doesn't last near as long as it should. I used to get about 6-hours on a full charge if i used it heavily/constant throughout the day, which now it gets maybe 3-hours if I'm lucky, and even with it just sitting there not being used, where it used to last well over 24-hours on light to no use, now it only last about 10-hours. I need a new battery....Hell, I just need a new phone. I really liked this phone at first, but not so much in the last few months, and especially now that i dropped it a couple weeks ago. Time to go get the Samsung G-III

[Q] Internal Storage - Total Space 0.00B

Holler y'all, I'm hoping you might be able to lend me a hand with these here droid troubles, you see I was fiddling with my Streak and I seem to have broken something kinda important. My droid now tells me my internal storage has a total space of 0.00B on which 2.15GB of applications are installed, contradiction I know. What's kinda weirdypants is that I seem to be able to install new apps fine, but when I try to use the camera I get the "Please insert an SD card before using the camera" nonsense. I should probably note that I also have an external SD plopped into the slot. So there's actually two SD cards, why the camera doesn't see either I ain't got a scoob.
So how did I get here? Well... I had been using that CM10.1 rom, which was quite shexy and all, but the lack of camera and the constant crashing that required a reset made it too unreliable for my use. I decided to downgrade back to Honeycomb and everything seemed to point towards StreakDroid-HD7-R8, but things went a little sideways and I ended up in a boot loop. Perhaps I shouldn't be fiddling with things when I'm so shleepy. Anyways I got my paws on a stock rom and managed to install it with fastboot and recovery. Everything looked fine and I went ahead with setting it up and installing apps, until I got errors about the SD not having enough space to install some apps when it really should've had plenty. I rooted it, tried clearing caches, formatted it, but there was no change except for me having to install all my apps again. Oh yeah, I couldn't backup in Titanium either. So here I am.
Perhaps the SD is dying, perhaps I corrupted it with my fiddling, maybe it's something to do with the partitioning, maybe it's something else? If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please share.
Also, if the SD is to be retired, is there anyway of redirecting apps which would normally use the internal SD use the external instead, for example the camera app?
Thanks in advance.

That is becuase CM10.1 changes the partition tables.
Does not anyone read around here? There is like 10 people who have posted the exact same thing.
You need to restore to Android 2.2 and then upgrade from there.

Offt, that was a tad fiesty. My apologies hombre, I do read and I've ready plenty on this forum, but I guess I haven't read the right threads, perhaps I didn't know the right combination of words to search for. Slap me with a wet fish and shower me in stale coco pops - I am a daftie! You're a mighty fellow, so I shant be cheeky, you've spent a great deal of time making the streak more awesome for all of us, which I do appreciate greatly. Thank you.
Now when you say restore to Android 2.2, are we talking stock ROM here? And do I have to do anything special beforehand or is it just a case of plopping the ROM on my SD and restoring? Thanks kindly for your help captain.

You need to grab the NVFlash pack to restore to Android 2.2, which will also restore the Dell crappy partition tables.
Look at TheManii's DevHost page, he should have it.
Partition tables had to be changed as Dell did not correctly do Android, resulting in the sdcard daemon being broken, so they created something called like "oem_sdcard". If they had just done it right the first time, we would be in this predicament.
Oh and anytime you need to be slapped by fishes, I'm more than glad to. If you had merely scanned the General section, before you posted, you would have seen at least, three threads, where people were having the same problem, and where each time I already stated the exact same thing that you needed to do.

I'll take the slap. I think I spent most of my time in the Dev section, yet I post here in General, you see, that is why I am daftie! My internal compass is corrupted.
Many thanks for the help and info, perhaps someone should slap Dell with a fish? Anyways I best go correct my wrongs now.

I have read many threads and I have the same problem. However, I already used nvflash to repartition my Dell and revert back to 2.2.2. I then updated back to Honeycomb 3.2 and I still have this issue. I ran it a couple times... repartition and restore back to 2.2.2 but still no luck. Any thoughts? Sorry to respond to such an old thread, just fishing for any ideas.

xcover2 Same issue
I am facing same issue with my xcover2 , any solutions ?

(Finished/closed)entire music dissapeared suddenlly?

Hello guys
I have a strange problem but first this is what i have.
sony xz1 compact stock firmware android 9 latest security update of september (fu sony)
Yesterday i wanted to play some music when suddenlly i got this message that said i can not play it or something like that and then tried dozen of other songs and nothing worked they all gave the same message except for a stock song that came with the phone that did work.
I restarted the phone but that didnt help then i thought ill look once i get home...
So i get home and look into it and suddenlly i notice they are all gone? except for the stock song that comes with the phone ?
All my songs gone in thin air how is this possible ??
I havent downloaded an app recentlly nor done anything to it my phone so what gives is this even possible do i have a virus? am i hacked? software corrupted somehow?
Afterwords i notice phone acts strange sometimes going into settings and go to storage makes my phone slow or crashes trying to look for my music but nothing there either.
I am super pissed because i was gonna put a custom mod on my phone anyway i was just trying to get some experience with root on an old phone first and then this happens ...
anyone happen to have heard of anything like this happening to someone before?
I made this thread cause i dont have a back-up of my phone more importantlly of my music so in the offchance there is away to find out what happend .....

I assume the music was on internal storage? Because if you had it on an SD card, there would still be ways to recover it. Otherwise, the chances are rather slim. You would have to get the internal storage out of the phone somehow and then scan it on the PC. But since the internal storage cards are usually firmly soldered, that would be very work intensive.

Yes it was on the internal storage.
But it is so weird man like how can this happen out of the blue ?

There's only two kinds of PC users; the ones who have lost data and those that will.
As NeoSeven pointed out store your data base on the SD card. Then back it up at least twice on electronically isolated hdds.
Not much help now but it will prevent future loses.
I avoid firmware updates if the device is running stable and does what I need.
Anything can happen.
After a major firmware update a factory reset is best. At least clear the system cache.

allright clear thanks guys
