[Q] Limited internal memory, SD Card data loss - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My internal memory is really limited. I saw (and still see) only 1GB available, my SD card files were also all deleted. I opted to change roms, and after a fresh install (wipe data, cache, dalvik) of this rom problem still persists. Only things i've installed on here are Gapps, Dropbox, CF.Lumen and Facebook+Messenger. Current internal memory usage is shown here. The rom i was using before is this AOKP. I figured this would be the best option i had for asking what's causing it. Help would be much appreciated
EDIT : suddenly now I can install apps from the play store, while I couldn't yesterday. Dunno if it changes anything, but here's hoping.
EDIT2: after wiping everything with TWRP the memory returned to normal - cyanogen recovery didn't help, neither did cwm. So, TWRP wins, and i might start using it finally

Basically, you can do two things.
Use an app like sd maid to clear your cache or increase your internal memory by using an app like link2sd.
You can also use titaniumback (or any other app) to move your apps to sdcard.
Link2sd /titanium would require root to work
Basically, all app build up cache over time which can fill your internal memory. clearing it up regularly should help .

(LATE, but it happened again)
This time it happened while transferring files via USB connection - it stopped working for a second, and then device reappeared, with SD card empty, internal memory empty and only showing 2,5 gigs clear - gonna report after clearing dalvik tho. As for normal cache - it's not a problem, i'm starting to suspect faulty hardware - it now limits my maximum internal storage capacity to ~4,3 Gb, according to Total Commander. Besides, i'm using sd maid every week, so it's not like im not taking proper care of my device.... It starts annoying me, i might need a new phone soon - if i start losing ~20 gigs of data every 3 months (backups are backups, but that's another thing) from my phone, and then have to re-install NEW systems every time it f***s up, it's too much hustle - especially that God only knows what causes that, and what fixes it
Screens explaining this:
Total Commander right after wipe (only ext-sd had some files recovered)

Only 4,3 gigs, right after showing 11,7 max
As my problem came back, i'd appreciate any help - this time not in a form of "clear your cache" as that clearly is not the reason why it happens on different ROMs after a clean install(first on KitKat, then on CM12 - both from _infected) on otherwise stock Yuga.
EDIT1: Before clearing Dalvik (as i forgot cm recovery can't do that) i checked apps - one was using 6 gigs of space, so i deleted data - it then showed 8.1 gigs of space BUT the 'size' in properties changed to... 7,5 Mb. That confuses me, gonna start testing more as much as i can before i will be left without internet for around a month.

What the hell...? I just wiped and reflashed and have the same wallpaper.

I just flashed Amon RA Recovery, installed a new SD card with the phone off, partitioned it in Recovery, took it out and put it in my PC and put CM 5.0.8 and the G-apps on the card, stuck it back in, rebooted again into recovery, wiped the phone (factory reset), wiped the dalvik cache, the flashed CM 5.0.8 then the G-apps.
I rebooted and I have the same wallpaper I've been using for months. Either something very fishy is going on, or CM 5.0.8 comes with my old wallpaper by default.
Where is your wallpaper stored? Is it in a partition of the ROM that doesn't get flashed? Is there a way to completely wipe the ROM (other than Recovery, or other things needed for root) so I can be sure I'm starting fresh?
EDIT: And I still have random 3rd-party apps installed! WTF! I did a factory reset, I swear! /Edit
EDIT2: Wiped and flashed a second time, and this time I wiped everything I could in RA Recovery: data, cache, sd:ext (even though it's a fresh sd card!), battery, and rotation. Whatever the heck those last two are. And now I can report that the phone is clean of all my old apps and wallpaper. After watching it wipe a second time I can say that I am certain I did a factory reset/data wipe the first time. I remembered seeing "FORMATTING DATA / FORMATTING CACHE". So I don't get it. How could my old apps still have been there? Did one of the other wipes do something?
And, no, that cloud wallpaper is not the default one, it's an android on a skateboard.
/Edit2
I'm only wiping now and using a new SD card because I started having major problems. I tried to run Maps one day and it would just crash to the home screen with no error. So I rebooted, and my phone wouldn't get past the T-Mobile screen. It still worked in recovery so I wiped and reflashed CM 5.0.8. Then when I rebooted I had major force closes all over the place, Launcher, System, etc.
After another wipe and similar problems I tried 6.0.0 RC1. It ran a lot better. I had swap turned off. Also Apps2SD is not there, obviously. It did copy my ext apps to the fat32 partition for me, though.
After using it for a while I started noticing apps going missing. I'd have a default icon on the home screen that claimed the app wasn't installed.
I think the SD card may have been to blame for all of this, or maybe the SD card interface on the phone. The major problems I had could have been due to the swap partition failing. And the missing apps could be due to the same sort of thing.
So with this new card I can test that. If I still have problems it's surely the phone itself.
So, again, is there any way to do a more complete wipe so I can be sure I don't have lingering problems from previous installs?
I'll attach a picture of my G1 so you can tell me if this is the default wallpaper or what.

from 2.x onwards google stores all that info (if its turned on) and restores it when it needs to.
It stores stuff like that wifi passwords and crap.

yup. When in set up you see the option to tick, backup my settings. It now includes a load of stuff, even apps!
If they stored apps for me, they would at least have to be re-downloaded. They were just automatically there.

Xposed Framework not working on SD-Ext (Ext4) 2nd Partition

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone has had the same issues as myself.
Model: Samsung Note (N7000)
OS: Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat) / ROM: DirtyUnicorn 8.2
Software: Mounts2SD
I've ran out of space, and so tried to find an App that can move all Apps onto the second partition of an SD Card. Much like the days of Gingerbread 2.3.7 --> JellyBean 4.1.2.
However with KitKat, and its SD Card issues... I've been unable to find a decent App that supports it.
S2E = Does not support Android higher than 4.1.2
Link2SD = Too confusing, and doesn't find the sd-ext partition.
Mounts2SD = Mainly works ok, has issues. But does the job, other than Xposed....
- anyone know of alternatives to the above?
Anyway, under the above circumstances.... Xposed was installed and working fine, up until I moved all the data on 2nd partition. Now it says it's installed, but not active... No matter how many times I try reinstall over top, still doesn't come active...
Installed, but says not active

Anyone know how to get this to work, or know of any other SD-Ext Apps that work better...???

AS it requires to be installed in the system partition It wont work no matter what you do. It simple cant work from an SD card.
Moving apps to the SD cards is asking for trouble to begin with. This is due to the way android mounts the sd card very late and why app developers tell you that widgets will not work when the app is installed on the sd card. My advise would be to clean up some of your apps. With the storage on devices this is seldom needed and with 5.0 will mostly not work at all.
Hi @zelendel,
With the SD-Ext partition, this normally doesn't affect the widgets or other Apps. As the way Android does it, is it makes it work/behave just like it's installed on the Android devices main memory, even though it is coming from SD card. Although depending on age of device, it could be a little slower and setting that up on Boot, but once loaded, it works a treat. However these methods don't seem possible now on new Android OS versions....
True though, if anything is moved over to SD card via Apps2SD, where the data files are moved to the SD and the App still stays on the phone. Then yes, that is asking for trouble, as it is slower method and never really works... Unless you don't use Widgets, I believe this method to be pointless. As you're not really moving the whole App, only parts of it...
In the end, I went with re-partitioning my internal memory on the phone... I have extended the phones internal /data partition... and now all is working fine... Just means my phone is no longer stock. And if I ever have to return it to stock, I have to re-partition it again... But at least I have more space for Apps now...
Thank you for your advice though, much appreciated... Thanks, Lister

I can see why with Googles move to do away with sd cards all together. Mainly as there really is almost no need for them anymore. With the storage on most devices sd cards are slowly being removed. Even Google removed the stock sd card code all together from android back in ICS.

Internal Storage is Full - Please Help!

Hi All,
I currently am using a stock D415 LG L90 (Running Lollipop). I have no intention of rooting anytime soon, but my internal memory keeps getting full from multiple apps I have downloaded. I have a 32GB SD Card which is only using half of its capacity. I currently have it set to save all images and video captured to be stored onto the SD Card.
In my previous phones, I was easily able to dedicate my SD card as my primary source of storage, thus never having to run into the issue of having no memory and what not. Are there any solutions like these available?
I am open to rooting, I am kind of picky of not voiding the warranty as I have only had the phone for 10 months, but if rooting is my only option, I am willing to go ahead and do so.
Thanks All!
Uh, 94 views and no response? I am assuming I am the only person here with this issue?
Unfortunately the only way is to root and use Link2SD which is a paid application. You'll also have to partition your microSD card to have a second ext2/ext3 partition.
You probably have apps such as Whatsapp that refuses to store media files in external SD, I suggest you to backup the media folders to your external SD regularly.
I was facing the same problem with some apps, e.g. I have OALD and this app downloads a huge 450MB database file and stores in the internal SD that cannot be moved to external SD, I had to use Link2SD to move this kind of files to my ext3 partition in the external storage.
Since Android 4.3 we have this limitation, some apps cannot save data in the external storage. In v10 (kitkat) we had an option to switch the internal SD to external SD but it was a very intrusive modification with exposed framework and required unlock bootloader and root.

That is a real bummer, and big question mark as to why this kind of functionality is not open for the user to decide how to allocate memory... Are there specific ROM's that allow this instead?
I have downloaded Link2SD, are there proper tutorials on here on how to get root access on this phone?
It's for security reasons why android don't let some type of data to be saved on external microSD - fat32 doesn't support Unix file permissions, also, some apps such as Whatsapp was designed this way (they propably could save data in external SD, but somewhy they decided to not). In phones with 32 and 64GB this isn't really a problem, but even 16GB can be problematic for heavy users that likes to carry massive data in the phone.
To root, If Purpledrake (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000) don't work, your only hope is KingRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461). If you use the latter one, I suggest to immediately switch KingUser to SuperSU.

I went over and tried KingRoot, it ended up working. My question is - Which one is better? If I used KingRoot, what things should I be aware of dealing with this specific root method?
Otherwise, my phone is now rooted. I am going to try and partition my MicroSD card and see if I can see some success with the entire Link2SD method.
Use KingRoot, then replace with supersu: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
I unlocked my 410hn bootloader so I root directly from supersu flashable zip from twrp.
Today I noticed something interesting, do you use gmail app? I don't mean the google email account, I mean the app. If yes, take a look into your account settings configured in the app, it's set to sync all e-mails and attachments from the last 30 days, for this reason gmail was eating over 1GB of my internal memory, I configured to NOT sync anything (it's like saving stuff for offline read) and NOT download/load images automatically.
I went from 400MB of free space to almost 3GB. Had to clear app data first to make a clean start in the app and quick turn off those settings or it's going to download all over again, do you ever wonder why in the first run gmail takes a lot of time to sync? That's the reason, it's downloading your stuff from the last 30 days from every email account.
Yes I too have noticed that but when I try to open my gmail Google Play services force closes any idea on a solution to the problem

System files using a lot of space

My System files are taking up a lot of space on my 64 GB N6. Trying to figure out what is taking up so much space. Considering the device comes in both a 32GB and a 64GB variant I can't see the OS using 35GB. Any thoughts? Running Lineage OS.

I don't understand your explanation. You say in the first sentence that system files are using space, and your second says you're trying to figure out what is using space. If you're rooted you could try DiskUsage. The alternative explanation could be the well-known problem of an update showing only half of your actual storage.
@dahawthorne: He had a screenshot showing system taking up too much space on his LineageOS install. That's not normal, but I think you hit upon the problem. The OP needs to format his internal storage in recovery to resolve this, as I'm willing to bet a userdata.img file was flashed prior to the ROM itself.

Thanks for your advice. So I don't screw anything up, what options do I need to use when doing a wipe in TWRP?
I had this problem several years ago and I honestly can't remember how I resolved it. A quick search for "Android missing storage" shows a consensus that a factory reset usually fixes it, and if you have just installed LineageOS and don't mind starting all over again that's worth a try. Otherwise I can only suggest doing the reading to find another solution, or waiting for someone with a better memory to help. Sorry...
Edit: Strephon's advice is probably also a way to fix the size (he knows more than I do... ), but note that you'll lose all your data (photos, videos, etc.) in your device. You should never undertake any major update of a device without backing up first, so I'm guessing you've already covered this?
Edit 2: The TWRP option is in Advanced wipe - you have check boxes for system, data, cache, Dalvik & internal storage. When upgrading with a clean flash you wipe the first 4 but not internal storage so that at least you keep your photos on the device. This time you'll be doing the opposite - since it's the internal storage that's the problem, that's the only one you wipe.
@dahawthorne: Regardless of how much I may know, I don't always get it right.
From what I recall, formatting the internal storage is all he needs to do. However, if that doesn't work, the factory reset certainly will. The OP should back up everything onto his PC prior to performing either operation, because he will lose everything, as you note.
So after wiping and reimaging my phone, I found there is an option in TWRP to resize partitions. It's buried under the Wipe menu under Advanced => Repair or Change File System which is why I didn't see it before. I think my problem stemmed from a bad update Google pushed out when I was running the stock ROM. When I originally flashed Lineage it didn't automatically resize the partition like I assumed it would.

[Diagnostics] [UFS PROBLEM] Mi8 slow Read/write speeds

Hello, world!
I have run some tests trying to figure out what causes this issue, right after encountering this problem which I'm sure most of you have by now I clean flashed MEMEUI, transferred random files into internal memory, and kept doing so until internal storage was full I rebooted and kept filling it up until it was 0kb left then deleted a big 2Gb file and ran memory test you can see bellow two tests just 1 min apart, I then went to bootloader erased /data /system /vendor /cache booted to recovery and formated all these partitions again using OrangeFox and flashed Dotos and the problem immediately came back. So my suspicion is something is wrong with the way recoveries format partitions, which caused this problem in the first place, I suggest trying my method and avoiding using any custom recovery whatsoever on MI8​

Hi. Did you solve the problem? Is this hardware problem?
Hi,
I made a thread about that, one or two years now.
I also thought it was a known hardware issue. I heard it from a rom tester who knows this happened to a dev....
So, my phone was slow etc, I did a factory reset, installed Miui 12.0.2 at this time.
It ran smoothly 'till the day I decided to clear caches from my main apps.
Firsts signes: reboot by itself, minutes waiting for it to restart (same thing to inter into twrp)...
Few weeks ago I wanted to try cleaning Dalvik cache using Titanium Backup and guess what... The phone rebooted as fast as a new one! No problem since. So now I don't clear any apps cache anymore. (if needed, maybe I'll try doing it using TB)
After that I immediately knew all went good and Androbench proved it.
Perhaps you can try what worked for me.
Before thinking to buy a new one or send it to a professional. As I probably would have. Lol
Hope it'll help and most importantly, I hope this "fix" wasn't just luck!
