Internal Memory is getting full

Hey Y'all,
Anyone know what would cause my internal memory to get about 1mb fuller in what seems like each day. I turn my phone off completely at nite, I am non rooted with OS 2.1
I have even removed some apps to see if this stops. It hasn't Seems like something is writting to my memory with each new startup.
Is there an app, other than Astro or File Manager that will allow me to trim some fat off the internal memory. Also, where (what file) would that be stored in.
Sorry if I haven't explain'd this well but its got me baffled too.
When I updated the OS to 2.1, I was only using about 60mb of internal memory, then I restored all my apps and it came up to about 75mb used, now doing normal daily backups and just normal loads, I have used up 91mb. My backups are saved on the SD, not the internal.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be greatful. At this rate, I will run out of internal memory in about 2 months, lol

any reason why u dont wanna root??? it makes life with android so much easier..
anyway, ur probably buildin up a lot of cache.. if you was rooted you could just use cachemate found in the market and one click would get rid of your cache.. but sense your not, your gonna have to delete cache manually one app at a time..
menu>settings>applications>manage applications
let that load (it will take a min or two depending on how many apps u've got)
after it loads, click menu then sort by size..
start with the first app on the list and click on it.. once that opens you will see "Cache" and the amount (if theres any).. click on Clear Cache.. do that for each app (you will see that a lot of apps are at 0 already so just go onto the next one)
hope that helps..

Not really other than fear of screwing my phone up and not being able to put it back to 2.1 stock. I have been looking over the 2.1 root:

however and I never say never.
Thanks alot for the info about the cache(s). I will give it a try.
I really do appreicate your help.
UPDATE: I just did as you recommended, PERFECT!!
Went from 86mb used to 70mb used. 16mbs more free, I'll take it. Thanks again....

I know u r right, still thinking it over. My problem is really all the people who are rooted and all the problems they are having. This forum has 1000's of the" Help, I rooted and now this or that doesn't work" OR "Help, I just rooted and now my phone is Locked and I can't access anything" that scares me. My phone works perfectly, it tethers perfectly and its the old adage, If its not broken, lalalala....
Anyway, I haven't said NO.
BTW, Ic you're in Spartanburg, lol, used to date a gal in Easley and I am a grad of USC, GO *****!!

Well, just cause you root dosent mean you need a custom ROM. You can stay stock rooted and just get the rooted abilities. IE Wifi tethering, Cashe cleaning, a bunch of other stuff.

Most people had the fear of messing up there phone, however as in the previous post you can root and stay with the stock ROM. I have rooted several android phones, not just hero's, and have not once had a problem. I know that some have problems if they are not on Sprint and try flashing a ROM which might changed their profile info. And the great thing is that there have not been any issues with the 2.1 RUU. So if you rooted and had problems, which I doubt, you can always RUU back to 2.1

They're not having issues due to root...it's the custom roms they are loading. I've had mine rooted since last November, and I haven't had a problem with the phone because of root. Now, I have had problems with custom roms before...but the nice thing about root is that you can always reflash to a new custom rom...or you can go back to stock (or stick with stock if that's your preference).
All root does is gives you more control of your phone. What you do with that control is up to you.

Basically, this.

Well thx folks, so if I do this root proceedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
, I will have SuperUser perms and tipically NO problems as long as I stick with the stock ROM? Another question, Tethering is very important to me. I currently use PdaNet, will it still work after ROOT plus give me WiFi Tethering too?
Thanks again, this just got more interesting.

Pretty much wifi teather does have its limits but its still pretty wicked

Thx again folks, Ima gonna do it. Seems fool proof and the positives outweigh the negatives. I can also revert to pure stock if all else fails, so, WHY NOT?
Regards,
Soon to be ROOTED!!

Yes I did, I decompressed the 3 files within hero-root.zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder.
The funny thing however is in the
C:\android-sdk-windows
folder, there is nothing, no files, only the TOOLS subfolder and in the TOOLS folder are the three following files:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinsbApi.dll
It this correct?

[Q] Pandora Radio + Froyo

Okay Heres the problem
I am Running DesignGears Perception Build 9.5 and want to use Pandora radio...
Every time i run pandora it will start to play a song and out of no where just stop no specific time just whenever it wants... I have been searching and searching and searching for a fix to no avail. I came upon a thread in xda that i thought might have some Connection or Correlation to my issue
Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737111
now it shows some steps and thats for The Nexus One and not for Samsung Captivate... Could there be any fix for this because I love the Perception build I checked with DesignGears and people have told me its not the rom. I have reflashed and reinstalled so please don't suggest that and i really don't want to go back to Eclair because Froyo will never be released anytime soon by AT&T we all know this... Please Please Please Help I will be in great debt to whoever helps
Thanks in advance

Did you try using what was instructed?
Could try pulling the build.prop as it instructs (doesn't affect your phone) and see if that line is in there? If so you should be able to use the ADB command to temporarily disable it (i.e. it will turn back on when you reboot your phone) what is causing the issue with Pandora.

May want to try Build 9.9 then. Yes the GPS doesn't work but eh, it comes preloaded with pandora and works.

Hrm - that would be an issue.
I'd say read the Q&A sticky (yes I plug my own posts shamelessly) and look for the ADB how-to link. Can open up the build.prop with notepad and look for the line it posts.
It is pretty simple stuff once you start playing around with it.

Just a couple thoughts. Are you turning off your data 2G/3G to save on data? If so, have you disabled wick when the screen goes to sleep?

Make sure to do a FULL wipe of everything when you install the rom. Odin to stock, remove sim/sd then odin Master clear, copy the rom file(s) to internal SD, then when you are in CWM select erase all user data and then install it as normal.
Worth a shot if you are not too comitted to the current install...

Locked?

I figured i ask here I bought a phone from a friend and he told me the phone is locked and the users gmail account option will not respond. Not sure what he did but its mine now and im not sure what to do. This is a known glitch ive heard but I just cannot get the work around it. Can someone help what steps do i need to take? He also told me "This is what my friend told me about this phone as i dont have it yet. "If you can get it out of the lock screen from the password yes it is fully functional. You can still get incoming calls and the display is damaged but does not mess with the function of the screen". My question is will factory restore help this? Or what would i need to do? I dont have the phone yet its being shipped. Is this fixable?

Once you get it, you can flash a stock rom and it will wipe everything on it, restoring to like new

Thats grt can you send me a link to the stock rom? Also so if it is locked right now this stock rom would solve that problem? Also the password issue and gmail user account issue? I dont think its rooted does it need to be to flash the stock rom? Im new at all this with this type of phone. Since its already 2.2 does that help. And should it be 2.3.3 now?

Wait. Wait wait, before you go flashing things that could soft brick your phone. What's the build#

I dont have it yet im not even sure i know my friend that had it i think its just the way it is out of box dont know. All i lknow is what he told me the gmail user password issue and being locked. But can get incoming calls and if password was unlocked it would be fully functional and display damaged but doesnt mess with the function of the screen what ever that means. I just would like to think i can get this to work when i get it. I dont care if i have to start over meaning whatever is it at now just reset the whole phone from boot i guess

Before you start flashing, get yourself a JIG. It will fix a soft brick if it should happen. For the stock rom go into the development section and look for the KB2 thread. And make sure you read some of the stickies around here so you know the risks of flashing/modding your phone. Good luck.

How do i flash something without being rooted what if clockwork is not there? Ive done these before roms and flashing kernels all that with Hero and Droid on here. If its the same thing im sure ill get you to this development. Is the K2 the beginning right?

This is the latest i have heard about the phone. "You can get it unlocked. I got it to where I needed to get it unlocked by using the calling technique then going to notepad but every time I got there I messed up the steps. Is this an easy fix? Dont know build # yet but im working on trying to get that too.

Ok yes its sounds like when for hero or droid we use RSD lite and the phones drivers. Im sure i can pick up on this to get it to recovery.

No recovery just download mode.

You can put the phone in DL mode with the help of volume and power buttons.
Press both volume and plug in usb= DL mode.
Just check what build is your phone and what current rom you have on it. Post more details

With phone off and not connected to the computer
Open odin KF1 ATT GB bootloaders as ADMINISTRATOR and B4 you connect phone(VERY important)
While holding volume + and - plug in USB that is connected to back of computer. That will get you download mode.
Hit start on Odin KF1 BL flasher. Let it finish and reboot you. (will boot into samsung recovery)then delete all user data.
Pull battery and disconnect phone. Close Odin BL flasher.
Open Odin3 v1.85 and place the KI2 tar.md5 in the PDA slot.(which is in a .rar file and the password is sampro.pl You have to extract it to flash with odin.) Start and wait. Let reboot and boot all the way up.
Let me know when its done and I will help you with root, cuz this post is way too long.

Ok ty yes i know the thread is long here is the latest ive heard maybe this might help a little bit. My friend told me after asking about the build #. "You can not get to that menu as the phone is locked on the password screen. Gmail will not kick it out of the screen as it is suppose to". Does this help ?

Wait till you get the phone.
Build number is inside the battery compartment, usually on a white label. It should be 4 digits, which interpret as yymm, the year and month of the time the phone was made by Samsung. Older builds came with Android 2.1 Eclair, referred to sometimes as JF6 software from Samsung. J is 2010, F is June, 6 is the 6th complete compile of the ROM.
After February, 2011, Captivates were upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo, typically software build KB1, or KB2, 2011 February.
In May, Releases of Gingerbread, specifically for Captivate started being leaked by Samsung, nothing is official yet.
KEx is Gingerbread 2.3.3
KHx is Gingerbread 2.3.4
KIx is Gingerbread 2.3.5
Newer phones seem not to like going to older releases of Android for some reason.
Be careful, take out the SIM card and any SD card before you do anything like flashing.
Pick one of the stock ROM's first, and try to reset the phone with that. In the DEV section there are threads for each of the above. Be careful if the thread mentions flashing bootloaders, and read the directions.
