I am facing storage problems - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I first booted there was 11.8 GB free of 12.8 GB and then I installed some games like real football,FIFA 14 and when I uninstalled them still no free space I checked all the folders but I don't know why its not showing the free space as you can see the screenshot it shows 4.8 GB free space and around 5 or 6 GB filled up where is 2-3 GB space??

Just registered on site and only 2gb of storage!!! Installing app on my lg smartphone i have 50gb of storage. AWESOME
You have limit of one file transfer to 100 MB.
Wysłane z mojego LG-P970
that's great totally will try it
Yep there is limit, but there is also split archiving. Considering it is no expiration like dropbox it is actually a very nice bonus.
Upload speed from titanium backup is also faster than dropbox.
box is really useless I really suggest drop box
the 100mb limitation killed it for me, still 50gb is awsome
Odp: BOX- free 50 GB storage
Yea i hear about Lg gives free 50gb in box for lg smartphone users.
I have 50 Gb in Box account for long time, but Dropbox has automatic upload for pictures and that`s why I`m used to use Dropbox.

[Q] How do I increase my free RAM?

I've seen threads where people said that their i9000 they have ~200 MB of free available RAM. That's really surprising. Can this be caused by a kernel?
I have around 100 MB of free RAM at most times, running CM10, stock kernel.

RAM Management is being handled by Android OS. We dont have to do anything about it. See article on AndroidCentral:
http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
So why it the free RAM memory differs so much? My i9000 has around 100MB of free RAM and other guy's from the forums has like 200MB of free RAM at any time.
It may have something to do with the quantity of apps running in every phone.
Every phone has different apps installed.
I, particularly, do not use synching, wallpapers (live or static), weather apps, music effects, google maps, etc.
I either disabled these apps or froze them to make sure they won't run.
Most of these apps run automatically at phone boot-up, thereby consuming RAM.
You can check in Settings/Apps/Running what applications are mostly running on your phone, then you can try to disable them if you think you don't need them.
How do you freeze the apps and prevent them from starting?
In settings/apps/all apps, select the app you want to disable then disable it. If you have Titanium Backup, you can use it to freeze your chosen apps.

You can use App Quanrantine to freeze the undesired apps. I use it for almost 1 year and it works.

You can increase your ram by installing devil kernel. Then installing devil kennel manager from play store
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Titanium backup or app quarantine are useful to freeze unused apps, but if you use an app you can't freeze it (or you must unfreeze it)
For used apps, you can use Autostarts to disable unwanted run of apps on phone startup, or after other events trigger in the background.
depend on the rom that you are using
Try another kernel with bigmem.
svolacius I've been red that if you have 40 20mb free memory then it is very good for you because phone is using memory properly

Major space miscalculation by system

I've been facing miscalculated space for a while now. I have also noticed it on numerous other devices. Fresh flashes help so its obvious apps are taking huge chunks of memory at times that nothing shows only being around a couple hundred megs but that makes a huge difference still. This one is topping the cake though. (This is approximated and rounded up order)I went from 1.2GB on internal SD and and had added about 1GB of things. I have since deleted at least 1GB of things. I currently only have a little over 200MB of free space. I've also moved to HellyBean JB4.2.1 which is where this issue seems at its worst, but is not limited to. I only have two apps on SD right now and have just recently flashed.

You most likely have copies of your files around. Check for folders 0, 1, 2, etc. They're most likely copies of each other and y ou only need the 0 folder (and storage). Just make sure of the files that are in each before deleting.

I actually do check folders every once and a while. Especially for space reasons so that's not it. Unless there is some secret hidden folder that's hidden in some sub folder with 1gb of copied files that the system doesn't show. The only other thing I can account for is titanium backup but I'll extra over round that to 100mb. Still a massive difference.

have you tried SD Maid by darken.
There is a free version and a donate/pro version on google play. I got the pro version and it is a handy tool for cleaning up both internal and external storage, as well as bloat and debris in datadata and other root folders.

Never heard of it. I use one click here and there and check through folders now and then. I can't wait for my 32GB card to arrive. Worth a shot though

[Q] ram

Hello guys
Am I the only one who never has more than a 1 Gb of free ram?
Android is Linux. That means free ram is wasted ram.
Stop worrying about RAM, when your phone need more then available it will kill some apps you didn't use for a while.
