the system storage of my archos 101 is 120 mb left is there any way to expand it? because i tried to install asphalt 5 it said not enough memory......i still have a lot of free space on my internal storage around 5 gb. pls. help me..thanks.......
i before reading this also tried to search around the web for a way to re partition the internal storage but with no luck, i found something about re partitioning the memory for apps to sd but i am not sure that is what we want.
Running the latest Froyo 2.2 update? Seems to me that you can move some stuff to your SD.
That being said, Asphalt (as I recall) is about 15 MB, it would seem there's plenty of room.
This is a serious issue with the Gen8 tablets. The usable system storage, for apps, is 250 meg. This is nearly identical to the amount available on the original Moto Droid. The problem is that even with Froyo and apps2SD dalvik-cache remains on the system storage and still severely limits the amount of applications that can be installed. Hopefully Archos will hear the communities plea and re-partition the storage with a future update to allow at least 2 gig. Otherwise the usefulness of this device will be shortened, especially with the larger application limits set by Google recently. Anyone have any ideas? Will an AOSP build dual booted from the SDE firmware allow this? Thoughts, ideas?

Hi there, I just bought a 16 GB Touchpad and I want to put Android on it. I'm just wondering how much storage is available after I put android. Thanks in advance
I've read somewhere that android will take up about 2GB of space.
Yeah, Android takes about 2GB or so of space, and you'll have roughly 850MBs left of app space (using Xonified, anyways). The rest of the space is seen as SD card space, so you'll still be able to access all of your storage space.
What I'm wondering is whether that app space could ever be modified. As in, could I make android take up 4gbs and have more app space and less SD card space? Not that I see myself using this much in app space, really, but eventually if Android gets so refined for the touchpad you never even think about returning to webOS, could I make more app space available?
I originally thought I wouldn't be able to see my WebOS tree structure in file explorer apps but I do. That being said even though a boot partition may be made for android to work you see all folders both WebOS and Android in file explorer. This is good in a way since I access all my pics and music which was installed on the WebOS side but trying to figure out which folders are for WebOS vs Android is a bit of a cleanup nightmare once you delete apps and folders lefts behind.
Might help explain how you can alot for app / storage space.
Thanks for the answer guys. I guess I'm going Android now
What is the other 700MB being used for?
Seems very high for OS etc., especially considering there are Gingerbread devices with only 512MB (Wildfire S etc.) and they still have a few hundred MB for apps etc.
I would've thought Sense would need more space than SE's customisations aswell.

What sony Ericsson has said is correct and what you saw is also correct
When you see specs in Se website,it say 1 GB internal means 1 GB default Memory/RAM but when you look at your phone it shown different because default Memory/Ram is used by system software and scripts and this varies between phone.
1 GB is default amount and when SE installed OS it got reduced by some amount,when you start the phone the phone loads all its software and processes in that default amount so it again get reduced and now you install your softwares and run apps so it gets reduced again so over all you get 300 MB for your self ...
I have Sk17i with 512 Internal,out of which i get 420 MB free but when i start phone i get 320 MB free for my self ...
I hope you understand
Don't forget to hit thanks if you find it useful ....
You need to consider what storage space is talked about.
There is internal flash occupied by android system and applications, which is persistent. Than there is RAM, which usage depends on what applications are currently running (non persistent type of 'storage').
And there is external storage - sd card - which contains additional data. There is lot of stuff coming with the new phone. That stuff should not really be needed - there are some intro videos in multiple languages, documentation, pc companion sw, ...
I guess that the sdcard content may be erased altogether (if the sd is mounted in PC while phone is connected via USB, the phone does not use the SD card and still runs).
I'm aware of the different kinds of memory in use in modern phones. For the Ray this means:
512MB RAM - Not what I'm talking about - Used by running processes.
4GB External storage - Not what I'm talking about - SD card used for additional storage (media mainly, plus some apps) and basically empty when phone is new. 4GB is supplied with Ray and but be swapped out with cards up to 32GB, although not easily after you've installed apps to it.
1GB Internal storage - This is the storage I'm talking about - Used to hold phone OS, default applications etc., with some left over for user data (apps, media etc.), commonly quoted as being 1GB in the Ray (although interestingly not by SE themselves...) with 'up to 300MB free' for user data.
Most review sites quote the 1GB internal storage figure, although after checking the SE site I'm inclined to think that 512MB would seem more in line with the free internal storage quoted.
Having said that, the Ray's closest cousins (Arc, Play etc.) are all quoted has having 1GB by SE and they too are only quoted as having 3-400MB free for user apps.
Compare this to a phone like the HTC Sensation and things start looking weird. It too ships with 1GB storage yet has ~800MB free out of the box. Most other phones are similar, regardless of the size of the internal storage, i.e. 2-300MB used for OS and baked-in apps.
SE seem to need 700+MB for effectively the same thing.
Anyone know what is going on here?
Ignore me...
Internal storage 1gb is including 512 ROM and 512 Internal memory out of which about 420 mb is user visible
Hello I have a new Huawei Inspira (H867g) The storage listed on the website i bought it from said it had more storage than the phone says..
So DiskUsage says my apps take up 392mb of space all together. This includes the apps i have downloaded and the factory apps such as calendar, bluetooth services, androidhwext, com.qualcomm.privinit and all kinds of tiny things like that.
And Disk Usage says System data uses 123mb
So I go to Settings in my phone, tap on Storage, and it says
Internal Storage:
Total Space: 2.71gb
Available: 1.76gb, 115mb for applications only.
Why only 115mb for applications while there is 1.76gb available???
Is there ANY way to make that 1.76 available for Applications??
Also, When I get down to about 80mb free space left for apps, it says insufficient space available even when downloading apps as small as 5mbs or so.
It is all quite frustrating and stupid...
If there isn't a way to fix these issues and get much space, is there a way to make the MicroSD card perform as internal storage so I can have more storage and download more apps? I saw a video for that on youtube, for android tablets only (rooted) I believe..
I would appreciate ANY info and advice thank you.
Hi, everyone.
You know, installing Apps if you're going to run out of space storage is a hard and big problem.
One of my classmates has got a low-end Galaxy Ace. And it's ONLY Got 180 MB Space Storage. That's horribly low - but the SD-Card has still 12 GB Free.
The app has a size of 4 MB.
So, how to install apps/apks directly to the SD-Card?
I hope to get an answer. Have a nice day.
Does Anyone?
...does anybody konw?
Hi everyone. Sorry for starting a new post, but I looked and I wasn't sure where my question fit in. I'm using Link2SD on my kids' tablets and overall it works great. I got really fast (SanDisk extreme) micro SD cards for black Friday and the games run faster than with tablet memory. One thing I'm trying to figure out is why, even though I have both tablets set up mostly the same, one of the tablets has a lot less free space showing. I do have about 400-500 MB more of apps on the tablet showing less free space, BUT it is showing 4.0 GB free space vs. 5.8 GB free space on the other tablet. Why would this be (1.8 GB difference) if all else is the same?
Is it something to do with dalvik/cache? Speaking of it, is it safe to wipe the dalvik/cache through TWRP now that I have Link2SD set up with 30+ apps linked? Do I then just relink the dalvik files after rebooting? Or do things get messed up? I'm hesitant to do any of that because I have everything working well now, except the free space issue.
Or, if I multi-select and then choose to relink everything (apk, dex, internal data), could that help? Everything appears to already be linked correctly, so would relinking mess it up? Also, as a side note, I don't have any lib files linked as I have found that in the past it did mess things up for me. It would cause some apps to re-optimize at every boot, I think because the lib files wouldn't relink, even though I enabled it in the Link2SD settings. So now I stay away from that and all else is good, except this free space issue.
Any ideas on a solution? Is there something else taking up free space that's not listed in internal or system memory? Maybe downloaded Google play books? Or are they listed in the app data? Is the free space shown not correct, and it's actually more? I just can't figure it out. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!!!!
Here are the screenshots. You can see 5.76GB vs 4.07GB, but only 6.94GB vs 7.34GB for internal space difference. Why?
