Hi all I'm having this problem that's doing my head in. I went to use OCLF but was informed that I didn't have enough space in my phones internal memory. On checking it, apparently I only had 800 mb free, so I went and deleted all my large apps, and left a whole bunch of small apps about 4-5 mb in size (in total there wouldnt have been more than 30 mb combined). This didn cut it as now I only had 1100 mb free and I needed 1.5 gb to run the fix. After reading a few forums my understanding was that I had to do a factory reset to free up the rest, but in doing so I would lose my contacts, messages etc. So I used titanium to back some important things up then did the reset. On rebooting my phone I was shocked to see that my free available memory was still around 1.1 gb, and the reset was in vain as I had lost everything and my backups didn't work. Wats worse is the reset left some apps behind but none of them work! I ruined my phone and gave myself a big headache for nothing! Please somebody help! How can I free up some bloody internal memory so I can run OCLF and wat can I do about my failed titanium and astro backups?? Any help would be greatly appreciated

OCLF?
Isn't Voodoo Lagfix is a better solution?
I'm assuming you are still on the Stock 2.2 Firmware, right?

Yeah, OCLF is so deprecated, any thread that relates to it on these forums should be eradicated.
But isnt OCLF supposed to have a much faster fix than voodoo?? If not, then i'll be damned. I bet knowing my luck voodoo wouldnt require as much internal space. All this headache seriously for nothing - everything I intended to be removed off the internal storage is still their only corrupt and doesnt run, and everything i intended to keep through backup is lost through backups that don't work! ARGH!
Back to the matter though, how can I clear my internal storage if factory resetting isn't clearing up the 2g internal partition??
AND does anyone have any experiences with voodoo being much faster, efficient to use etc. than OCLF?? Thanks in advance
OCLF used black magic and trickery to get high benchmark scores but is not faster/smoother/better than ext4 voodoo.
Where have you been all these months and please don't tell us you are still on 2.1 or something.
haha ive been extremely busy with work over the last few months and haven had any time to play around with my phone or even come back on here (i forgot my old username and password cos i didnt come on in so long). that was until last week when i upgraded to 2.2 (and am hearing rumours of 2.3 coming officially coming soon?), rooted my phone and tried this OCLF rubbish all in the same night.
hard reset ur phone, then apply the oclf, not just the factory data reset..heres the dialer for hard reset

ok so i tried a new approach and im having more problems. sorry i guess its my inexperience. first problem was when i tried the hard reset by dialing *2767*3855#. The phone went through the process of 'resetting' the phone only when it rebooted, all the damaged apps which id been seeking to remove were still there (since initially trying the 'soft' reset option under privacy in settings, anytime i try to open one of the apps left behind the phone will vibrate twice then force close the app). the second problem was when i tried to flash voodoo using the recovery mode. i can enter the 3 button recovery mode only i cant move up or down the menu using the volume keys! fml
you need to just put it in download mode and flash back to stock.

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
Thats the message I’m getting on the notification bar of my SGS. I checked in the summary of Samsung Task Manager app that it says Personal Data 127Mb/128MB, so I guess that it could be referring dbdata.
I have around 100 apps installed, but enough space on both sd cards (more than 1gb on each sd card), less than 20 sms and less than 70 contacts. What could be the problem? Maybe because I’m using gmail?
You are using binds, probably in universal lagfix.
There you go! thanks. I thought I disabled the lagfix but bind_data_to_dbdata was still with data instead of false.
I just disabled it, but I ran out fo battery when some backup was doing from cwm.. I'll see when I arrive home if the problem was solved or if I created a bigger one (phone bricked)...

If you have any problems just restore earlier backup from cwm

Lol, didnt you notice your battery was too low?
Anyways, it is always a good precaution to do flashing at close to full battery as problems can occur which may require you to perform a reflash over again...
Hope nothing bad happened as they ussually do when the phone goes off halfway but since it was just restoring a backup shouldn't be much of a big issue
I got this the other day, freaked me out! Ended up realizing the problem lol but never expected it to happen.
This isn't dev so I reported it...don't want to be a jacka$$ but I like keeping the forum clean
the binds options should be set to false by default. maybe some could change that in the next release of CWM...
I'm having some trouble lately, maybe the past week? I keep seeing low memory, and I'll go in and delete some apps and it'll go away, and keeps coming back, I've cleared all my caches and such and am still hovering around 15-16MB of memory.. I rooted my phone about a month ago and flashed Fresh 2.4.0 onto it, and have really liked it versus stock! But, this low memory thing has me a little worried.. I've tried searching and haven't found much, anybody have any advice for me?
I've found that after wiping data and reinstalling my apps, I gained about 50 megs. Even with all the same apps and data from titanium restore... Just a lot of trash gets built up over time (it had been months since I had wiped data)

Use firerat's internal partition mod...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754805
It repartitions the internal space. When youre donr you have 2-300 mb of space for apps and cache. Very simple to do
you have a few choices here
1. switch to an odex'd build these have more internal space because of how odexing works
2. modify your partition like PMDColeslaw suggested
3. delete some of the apps your not using, i know on my phone i can name atleast 6 apps i have installed that i use barely at best

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
After updating Froyo in India. Here are the list of issues that I face.
1) It keeps on crashing .. Sometimes for no reason whatsoever. a Little 'Vibrate.. Pause.. Pause.. Vibrate.. Vibrate'.. And it almost reboots itself.
2) I am having strange issues with the EDGE. I am on Airtel 2 GB plan. Had no issues on Eclair. However with Froyo i keep on getting web page unavailable message. I have to go in Network Data settings and Uncheck.. and Check it to get it working again. STRANGE..
3) If trying to open some flash base content then also it reboots itself.
4) Initially the phone felt very zippy for a few days. However lately i have been experiencing lag. Again.. The Apps do open pretty quickly however there is lag in Contacts, Contact Search, Logs, And "Sweep Right To Call" options. Pretty frustrating. I feel this might go away wid the TW Launcher change.
Well this is a known issue when upgrading from enclair.
Do a backup on you apps and all you important stuff to a external sdcard.
Then do a factory reset.
Wipe the catch and format the internal sdcard.
Then the phone should work fine.
Then put the apps back.
DON'T restore any system data.
This will wipe all your data on the phone. So make sure you do have a backup or it will be much work for you.

can you more elaborate the process..
I can take the back up of contacts,messages,photos, videos, & Music.only
what will happen to my bought applications?

You will have to do a hard reset. Dont worry about the paid apps since they are linked to your google account. Vibrate pause vibrate vibrate is an indication of some app force closing. Using airtel 2gb but no probs on that account.

now when i have tried to take backup through kies. more problems.. kies is recognizing my phone but failed to take back up..
any suggestions ?
rahulshanu youre not alone... created this thread the day I upgraded to 2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866927
Im getting the same issues you seem to have but also slow game and UI response. This weekend i'll be trying anything to get my phone back to a reasonable state after the naffed firmware upgrade.
I'll be plug the phone in via USB to copy pictures ect. Contacts are held on gmail for me so not an issue. you might be able to do the same and forget kies. As for apps.. I have them all on laptop as I came from a G1 so dont mind losing them on the phone.
Purg,
it is really surprising that i was able to take the back up of contacts...and can still take the back up of videos,pictures & music .but cant take back up of messages.
When I contacted the samsung indain on twitter ..they have suggested for hard reset.
Galaxy S is a perfect example of blend of some amazing and disappointing technologies..
Don't use kies to make backup.
Use titanium backup.
The problem with upgrade from enclair to froyo is the lack of information on what it means.
You do change the os in the phone.
Its not a little upgrade.
You can see it like going from windows xp to windows 7.
You got many things that don't work in the new system.
The best is to start from scratch.
I run jpu firmware now and it very easy to say its the best phone now. Both hardware and software works from stock. This is how the phone should have been from the start.

I finally updated to the official AT&T Froyo 2.2 probably about a month ago. Everything was working great. I wanted to root/enable sideloading apps/unlock. I used SuperOneClick 2.1.1. The root worked fine (at least I think so). I was not able to enable sideloading apps so I read online how to change the value of sideloading apps from 0 to 1. I also unlocked the phone using the Galaxy S unlock app from the the Market.
Almost right after the SD Scan would take a long time and then I would get a red SD card symbol saying "Low on Space - Database storage is getting low". I tried clearing cache's to fix the problem. It didn't fix anything. Soon thereafter I started getting "Message Memory Full - Incoming messages rejected due to full...." I cleared phone log/txt messages but it hasn't fixed anything. I looked at my internal and external SD card. My external card is 3.68 total with 17MB available. My internal has 12.67GB available.
Today all of a sudden if I try to look at my missed call I get "samsung captivate the application phone (process com.sec.android.app.dialertab) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I get similar messages trying to open Gmail. I haven't gotten it on any other apps yet as far as I know. It vibrates like crazy when the apps crash.
Can anyone help me with the problem? It's making my phone useless right now and my battery is dying much quicker than before. Thanks!

My vote is to go with a custom ROM. It will solve all of these problems. Cognition is the most similar to stock and is quite easy to flash. As for the problems you are having, I don't know what to tell you.
Try Cognition 4.5.3. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the quick replay Jack especially on a Fri night. What exactly do I do? Is it difficult to do?
Well, not busy tonight. Watching pre-season football.
Flashing a Froyo rom is not too bad. Since you have stock 2.2 it will be a little more tricky than if you were still on 2.1.
First, what is your build number? look on the sticker under your battery to see a four digit number beginning with either 10 or 11.
I will private message you with more.

Make sure you READ EVERY LINE OF THE OP. When you think you got it, read it again, then give it a shot. For the time being just factory reset your phone, should clear up some of your issues. Good luck
sent from long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away.
^^^ he's right. READ, READ, READ... until you're sick of it. It will pay off and keep you from bricking. Sorry I didn't mention that. But I will be glad to help you if you need.
and if (or when) you manage to brick it do not panic,, go back and read some more,, seems that almost everything an idiot like me can do is fixable,, and most normal people are pretty safe,, they are not going to kill their phone,,,,if they read and follow instructions,,,not doing those two have found my phone in some pretty unresponsive states,, but I am running mosaic VI now and loving it,,but have been on so many I had to go look,,and have finally I hope learned the value of reading ( and those other people probably do know more than me so I should not think I know better ,,,yet)

Not sure how much of knowledge you have gained before doing these attempts of changing some values to enable side-loading...
I would suggest to do factory reset since you are still on FROYO and see if this does the magic.
If it gets locked back to AT&T, I suggest just talk to AT&T rep to unlock & side-enabling. Once all is well, you can do rooting as you did before. Hope this helps to solve your problem.
For any other help, we have XDA here and get some time to go through forums. As others suggested, please read, understand and act.
A day after I posted this the phone seemed to be working right. However Jackman pointed out if it happened once it's almost sure it will happen again. I tended to agree with him so did a factory reset and then flashed with Cognition 4.5.3 with a lot of Jack's help of course. Right now seems to be working flawlessly. I do like this whole custom ROM idea. Even thinking about buying a used Captivate on ebay just so I can mess around with other ROMs. Thanks everyone for your help & input. If you have any other suggestions my ears are always open...

Just for a bit of encouragement ive been using Cognition 4.5.3 as my daily driver for the past 4-5 months and have never had a single issue with great battery life. Ive tried numerous other roms on this forum and always have run into a boot loop, force close, or other random issue that makes my phone unstable but with Cognition I experience what my phone was meant to be like.
