My memory card got fried and all the games that i had transferred to SD are gone as well. I thought this would be a simple process of buying a new SD card in which I did and reinstalling the app. WRONG.... everytime I try to reinstall the games that were lost my phone would say "REPLACE APPLICATION" and of course I would select OK, it would go thru the entire motions of installing and then in the end would say "APP NOT INSTALLED". So apparently even if the games were lost when my SD card got fried there are reminants left somewhere on the Phone. Does anyone know exactly where i would be able to find the reminants of these games so I can reinstall it without any problems ?

How did you move the apps to sd card? Android mechanism or 3rd party app like app2sd or other.

What about using the amazon marketplace on your pc to push it? Not sure if amazon has this function because I don't use amazon.

How fried is the sd card? Data recovery is pretty good with solid state if it is just a partition/mbr/fs/vol issue. If it is truly done and won't show up at all in disk management, then probably done. But if it shows up at all in management, even if it has no partition info or raw, it should be recoverable.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
just re-install via amazon appstore.
Did you wipe dalvik and cache?
Several system cleaners in the play store that cleanup left over app stuff. Try one.
If none of these work, the entries that need to be deleted are in a config file somewhere, no clue which one.
Use TiBu to back up your settings and data, wipe and reflash phone.

do u mean "moving apps to SD card" or backing up apps?
backing up apps: no effect on system performance. this is used only to backup to reinstall/restore later.
moving to SD: it could slow down a bit. I don't see a need for this on captivate, since captivate has so much more memory available for system and data, compared to a lot of other devices.
It would have no effect on speed. Lime previous poster said, you ha e plenty of resources available.

I have a problem and need help to resolve this. Ok there is a Japanese language app that keeps popping up on milestone. It will show up most of the time overnight and will be in my status bar and don't have a clue what it says? Sometimes the pic of a Oriental girl when I click on the notification I have ran anti virus, malware, spyware programs that never help if I click on anything it starts downloading something that is impossible to stop! Help please

I would back-up all my stuff, do a full wipe and install a fresh rom.
But if you dont want to do that, you should try to install Titanium Backup and remove all suspicious app.
You have encountered a virus it is a rare virus and Google has fixed on gingerbread but all it does is fill up your memory and pop up annoying adds sorry but a full system whipe may be your only choice

It infects a random app from what I've read and well if you can start one app at a time till you find the culprate

do you know what the 7gb actually is?
PS 17GB of music? i just use google play and have a playlist sync automatically, you should try it if you havent already (how much of that 17GB do you ACTUALLY listen to anyway?? )
That other 7gb data is the software and the HTC Apps installed. Yeah 7gb is a lot, but it's normal... So I've been told.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Can anyone confirm that HTC Apps takes up 7gb or 8 gb on my phone, that cant be the case surely?
It's normal. Since the skins and themes of the Gui are in 1080p it needs a lot of storage. I think it's really arrogant from HTC to sell it as 32gb when it's really more 25gb.
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers App
Whoa!! can someone answer why mine is 16GB!?
Every form I have read on this issue, people have said they have at most 7gb used up by "other" mine on my HTC one is 23.3GB but I can't where that is I have the VIPERONE rom
Hey guys,
try this app to view what's using your internal storage helped me alot

My other is sitting at 9.27GB... I have a sneaky feeling that it's the Android OS and other things related to that.
I use Google Music, 118MB, my music is cached, I have a few albums on device for listening to when I can't get net.
I'm always at the office or home so use WiFi for my music. Good system! :highfive::good:
Guys this happens after the 4.2.2 OTA since Google changed the storage structure
it's best to backup and do a full wipe including storage after this update
Is it possible, I don't necessarily want to flash or have to root.
Thanks.

You cant do that, removing system applications require root.
Depends what bloat you're talking about? There really isn't much on there to be honest.
Figured as much, I just remember when I got my One there was something like 4-5 gbs already taken up.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can't remove em without root, but you can disable many of them. I have about 15 apps that came pre installed that I won't use (mostly carrier crap, and stuff like Google Magazine, books, etc..)
Go to settings - > apps - > all, then select disable if it isn't grayed out...
A lot of the HTC apps can't be disabled, but whatever can is worth it
Pretty much like freezing.. You still have the apps taking space, but they won't run and will disappear from your app drawer!

i assume your talking about the 6.9ish gb that comes used up from when you first turned on the phone? that section is mostly a system partition used up by the android OS system. I'm not too versed in this but its pretty much neccessary. how large does that section have to be now that i'm not too sure. but every sense version i've ran on here custom 1.29 has pretty much the same size for that partition.
the best way without root is to disable the apps, as WolfDale7 mentioned.
Awesome, thanks for all the responses and help everybody!

And if I have root, how can I uninstall them since titanium itself doesnt?
My HD is starting to get a bit too full for comfort. Does anyone know of a free utility or way to find out what the largest files and folders are and delete them? I'm looking for something similair to ES File Managers SD Card Analyst. I thought Explorer might work, but it doesn't sort folders by size, only files. Many thanks in advance.

It seems like it might work. If I could figure out how to use it for what I wanted. At this point it just seems to be a slower Windows Explorer.

Do a Google search for treesize free. It takes a while to calculate the size of the folders, but everything will. There's no quick way to do it.
