Hello. I have a question regarding my phone that is constantly running out of storage space and have to use cleaner almost daily. I would like to be able to install more games and other apps but I can't do that due to low internal storage space. I bought a sd card (32 GB) in the hope of installing or moving apps to It. Unfortunately I can't do either. I moved all other files to it but it's not enough.My phone is not rooted and no free program I have tried successed (thought rooting could help). Do I have to buy a new phone to get possibility of using more amount of apps or is there another way? If I have to buy a new phone, recommend me something please. I would like to get a phone with a comparable CPU and GPU or maybe better, at least 4GB+ and 64GB of internal storage or more. It has to be a budget phone but upgrade should be viable.
Hello, I'd like to asked to if you guys also experience this:
Whenever I try to maxxed out the volume and play something whether its a video or music, the phone just reboots right after.
Idk what happened but before I noticed those kind of stuff to happen in my Redmi 9. I just previously fixed it from bootloop w/o recovery & w/o fastboot due to downgrading from MIUI 13.0.5 CN ROM to MIUI 11.0.4 GLOBAL ROM.
So I was wondering whether it was a software issue or hardware issue in this case the battery. Idk if someone had ever tried this but I've watched a similar problem got fixed in youtube w/ Redmi Note 9 instead
with soldering or reheating the fuse within the battery.

Before, Android can still do that transfering apps + associated data to the sd card iirc it was Jellybean. Lol
But right now you can still do that but i think you need some root access correct me if im wrong. Though that is still not advisable cause accessing those apps would be much more slower or rather laggy than installing your apps within the internal storage.
One way to not run out internal storage is to transfer all "passive/static" files like photos/music/videos to your sdcard. The ones that are left for your internal storage should be the apps only that is if you want to install more apps in your device. Also you can set where the files should be saved everytime you take photo or video or download files, and set them to sdcard.

Hey guys,
Just a general question here. I always installed my programs on the storage card and never the device whenever I had the option but then I wondered is there a difference in terms of speed or anything? Are there certain programs I should be installing on the device and not storage card?
I did a search and didnt find anything.
Thanks
I dont think speed is the problem. I have never encountered any noticeable difference in speed. But I certainly had some stability problems with apps installed onto storage card.

Most of the time the read/write speed from storage card is sufficient to make the app run well from the storage card.
But because the storage card is controlled by a driver the stability can be a problem. I've heard from several sources that an on the storage card installed program running in the background can cause SoD's.
storage card is better for "storage" as applications use the main board memory better...
hmm ok, ill keep that in mind.
My xperia is randomly shutting down by itself for no reason, so Im wondering if thats a problem.
Ill just have it in my pocket and when I press the power button, instead of coming out of standby, it actually starts up.
Sometimes too when it starts up and it shows the sony ericsson screen it will just shut off there too.
Generally I recommend you the following: Don't install system relevant programs onto your storage card. By system relevant I mean all programs that are autostarted or otherwise associated with the os. For example today plugins, programs that replace certain native applictations like messaging etc, task managers...
By following those rules I have no problems at all with unstable applications.
when in suspended mode sd interface is turned off so programs running from there will not run
Hi everyone, This is my first post ever on XDA, I bought my New Galaxy S the other day from Ebay (i know.. but box was sealed and everything so all good)
and for some reason my internal storage is only 5.78GB! not 8GB..
I'm really quite annoyed as its a fookin expensive phone, anyone got any ideas??
whats the best mix of firmware / rom for speed / everyday use?
im currently on... ROOTED
PDA - XWJG1
PHONE - XXJG1
CSC - XXJF9
Also my rom is 1.74GB is that the same as everyone here's?
I have applied SU lag fix and the lag fix suggested in the forums and running autokiller set to max, its quick but still some noticeable lag at times.
also i think because of lag fix (su one) I can no longer install ashphelt.
Cheers
same for all models, they took 2gig and kept it for programs apps and stuff and god only knows lol its no big deal as its space we would just fill up anyway, just get a sd card if you want room to play with.
Its normal.
Did you know that even when you have a 80 gig hard drive you can use only around 74?
And that 1.7 gigs you mentioned do come out of 8 gig memory as well.
How hard would it be to change the Lag Fix to use a small 128Mb virtual RAM drive, rather than the internal SD?
this will solve the corruption seen often in many of the devices people have reported problem with during install, use, and dead internal SD, also avoid unnecessary partition changes which are usually the cause of some SD getting damaged in the process, and voiding the warranty.
in a way the RAM drive will work more very much like a swapspace/pagefile to cache the most recently used files and writing them back only if changes have been made
if it a new App that loads up needs more buffer/cache than it's available it'll write back all the stuff on the cache back to the physical SD to free up space for the new App being loaded.
Also apps that are too big for the 128MB RAM drive will be loaded directly into memory bypassing the RAM drive, and it will safe files directly back to Internal SD, the only times this are expected to happen are with Games, HD movies and such
this will keep the phone fast and responsive, meanwhile reducing the usage of the internal SD
ideally the size of the virtual RAM drive should be configurable to like 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 MB, or more (after froyo)
BTW... the goal of this is to help people getting into the situation of getting the internal SD corrupted

We already only have like 300mb ram total, with less than 200 free. With a 128mb ram drive, I don't think we'd have enough ram to really run more than 1 app! Plus loading apps into and out of the ram drive would be pretty slow, I think? Managing how to load-unload apps from the ramdrive sounds very very difficult too. You'd modify the dalvik system I guess? Wow, I have no idea how!
yes currently we only have a bit over 300 MB to use, and with a RAM drive it'll be even less, but once we move to Froyo we might be able to get full access to our 512 MB of RAM.
From PC experience even when you have little RAM (512MB Win9x, Win2000) a small RAM drive can still improve system performance drastically even when after mounting the RAM drive you have less RAM available.
Most apps in android even though they reside in memory they don't consume RAM/CPU cycle unless it's actively running in the background or foreground
this can be seen clearly in the stock Task Manager
so even though the amount of RAM is reduced, end users should theoretically be able to run several apps in memory and no experience any delay as only the active 3~5 tasks are swapping in the RAM drive then going back to idle.
in the old times Win9x/2K didn't have that, all the stuff kept running in the back-burner even when the software & services were idle, yet it still worked better with a RAM drive installed than working off the slow 5400 rpm hard drive swap (very similar to the problem with have with the RFS from Samsung vs. Ext2,3,4 FS from Linux)
the current methods that you are the other guys are using for the Lag Fix could work if we can tweak them some how to hold the space elsewhere (External SD), or as you said if we can add 2GB of RAM into the phone
this will give advantage to speed/cache buffer, and prevent wear on the External SD, and even if the External SD does dies, it can be easily replaced without having to send the phone back to Samsung to replace the internal SD.
Hello AllGamer!
Actually data is written to disc because it needs to, that's what differentiate "Ram" and "disk"
The better solution would be to determine exactly where the problem is, and if RFS is the problem, to work towards fixing the bottleneck in the RFS drivers (if possible).
Hi there,
im new on the Optimus X2 and i am trying to figure out what you can do withit.
i got several questions and hope you can tell and or help me withit.
My first action on using Android was to put version 2.2.2 i think, on my HD2 Leo using clockwork and NAND. Had no experience to do stuff like that before, but great forum here helped me trough it.
so...
1.
I´ve heard about problems with the battery, that lifetime is not displayed right.
I think i may have something like that too. sometimes battery run out after only about 5-9 hours (using web and/or games)of course i am using it in that time but that seems to be a little bit too fast. In standby sometime it is turning off after 12-18 hours, of course using it with calls and sms sometimes.
2.
There normally should be an update or something, i thought the X2 is beeing delivered with android 2.3.? or will be updated soon after selling?
Are there any official information?
3.
I thought X2 will be out with 512mb ram?
when i start 3-4 apps and close them down, sometimes the advanced task killer shows before closing programs only 50-60 mb ram (is it ram?), after closing goes back up to about 180.
its not that nice when you want to take pictures or record video in F-HD is not working properly. have to close down everything before.
4.
What is this Cm7? i read alot about it, but i still dont know exactly what it is?
I`ve allready rooted my phone, whats a good app for deinstalling systemstuff and preinstalled games and apps?
5.
What are the 10 most useful and must have apps/programs to configure, style, and use youre phone?
6.
Are you guys using different roms? are there faster ones, more stable, less battery using?
7.
I got an 8gb external sd card, system only is showing , 4,9gb of 5,9gb free, maybe an sdcard bug like HD2 Leo had a time ago?
phone specification:
phone is rooted
I am using android 2.2.2
Baseband version 1035.21_20110405
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number FRG83G
LG Version LGP990-V10d
Vodafone Germany Branding

Battery life is a bit of an issue with the stock rom, since, on Froyo, there apparently is a problem with idle power consumption. This is much better on some of the custom roms based on Gingerbread, e.g. CM7.

The "official" rumours are, that there will definatelly be a 2.3.* update, though when is not clear, we will possibly have to wait until fall to get it.

Ideally, Android should be managin the RAM for you. The device does have 512 MB RAM, but mind that there is alot of stuff on the stock rom. You can have more available to you by
deleting or disabling widgets on the stock rom
installing a custom rom

It is called CyanogenMod7, and is a very popular custom rom, which exists for a lot of different Android devices, including the LGOS. It is also based on 2.3.4, so it basically already is a Gingerbread Rom, but I think it still has a Froyo kernel and/or userspace, so not completely native.

I'm not gonna call out 10 apps here, but living in Germany, you should definatelly check out "Öffi" (free). I also find Maverick (payware), GPS Essentials (Free) and Dropbox (free) to be quite handy.

This depends on how happy you are with modding your phone and flashing things on it. There can be quite a bit of work necessary to get a custom rom running on your phone, but it might be worth your while. I've used custom roms mainly for the fact that they can have massively lower battery consumption when the phone is idling (e.g. display off, standby). When using the phone actively, I've not found differences to be that big regarding battery life.

You are probably confusing the internal sd card with your external one. Keep in mind that the LGOS has a 6GiB internal sd card.
ok
thank you for this detailed answer.
i will take a look on the other Roms and will try it i think.
The problem with the sd card is not from confusing with the internal one.
Using the App, App 2 SD Free phone memory is showing me 1,45GB, on SD Card which must be the internal one shows me 5,51GB and on moveable which seems to be the external sd card it shows me 1,45GB again instood of my 8GB SD?
thx for help
Hi all, and Happy New Year.
Let me explain the problem. I got 8 GB memory card Class 4. My phone is rooted with Froyo Pro v1.1. Before that i was with 2.2.9 CM Floyo v0.25. Everything works fine in the start. My memory card is full at 50%. Music and videos general. I've downloaded a few apps like no more than 15 and moved them to SD. And everything start to work slow. I am with included Launcher Pro. When I connect my phone to the computer to transfer files, when i disconnect the phone I am waiting for about a minute for the phone to mount the SD card and usually i get Force Close for the Launcher. My browser works slow, almost impossible to browse normaly. When I restart the phone usury I get force close for the launcher and wait for 2 minutes to boot after I enter my PIN code. I keep internal memory with about 100MB free space and ram memory between 30 - 50 mb. But still no difference. Yesterday I unmounted the SD card and browser everything increased it speed more than 50%. Like I just installed the ROM. Mounting the SD card bring the slow situation. So any ideas is this normal or should do something.
u can try this...
format sdcard..(don't perform quick format)FAT32
then try to see what happen (on phone)
if the speed good , now move slowly your files (I mean one folder by one folder)
ie: move picture folder and test...then move song then test...
until u find where the problem came..
Hi there. You know, something interesting happened. Iv'e made some changes in the Build.prob, for some other reason, rebooted the phone, and now it work noticeable better. I don't know what I did, just change some values for manifacture phone model bring them to stock values, nothing special. I put it to the test and it works fine. I will test it next days and I will post if it keep working that way. Even astro refreshes folder in a instance. Mystery at all
Mine was 8 GB, and works fine... Sometimes showed SD Card damage on status bar. I didn't worry just need to restart.
