Hey guys,
I really need your advice/help...
Ever since I installed the app2sd about a month ago
(following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833722)
My free internal memory still keeps on dropping down slowly...
There are even days with no new installation, no web browsing, just sms and calls done - and still a 1Mb or so "disappears"...
Un-installing apps has almost no effect...
I have also tried to delete sms threads and incoming / out calls from the logs.
But nothing seems to help...
What can be done ?
I don't want to do the proccess again at the moment, because of not being able to root after SEUS...
(I even bought a 16GB SD card and it waits patiently at the moment )
Please advice / explain the reason...
Thanks !
I can't tell you exactly why you're losing storage space like that but I'd suggest you get DiskStorage from Market and watch exactly what is eating up your memory.
Did you installed JiT?

What is JiT ?
Hello great minds of xda, for the past 2 months I've been having an issue with my streak not seeing apps installed on my SD card. sometimes a reboot would solve the problem, but most of the time multiple reboots yield no results. Whenever the card is not recognized I am unable to connect my phone to my computer, nor can I install any apps from market or otherwise.
Ok so here's the strange part, file browsers like Astro can see and open files on the SD card, yet SD installed apps are not shown in the app drawer, under settings/manage apps SD installed apps are shown but their icons are greyed out and can not be manipulated.
Background info: was running 318, installed streakdroid 1.9, problem persisted, had a 16 gig sandisk card, bought a 32 gig sandisk card, problem persisted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried with a different card ? Just to see if the problem is card-related ?

Yes I did, in fact I was hoping that it was card related because that would be a simple fix. I replaced the original 16 gig card that came with the Streak with a brand spanking new 32 gig card but the problem continues.
I've done both google and xda searches and get tons of hits about SD cards not being recognized but my Streak recognizes my card, just not the apps installed on it.

To be honest, I have no advise for you, just hope someone who knows better can provide a suggestion.
I'm using a 32gb card in my phone myself, but fortunately, doesn't seem to have similar issues.
Good luck ... and maybe someone can help

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Hopefully someone will have a solution, I really love my Streak but this problem greatly reduces the usability of my device

ninpo,
Test your internal SD card:
1. Turn off your Streak
2. Hold down the camera button all the way, as you turn on your Streak
3. At the white screen, dial in the code *#301# – This will open the engineering mode that allows you to run individual tests.
4. Dial in 10 then press Enter to run the ‘SD & SIM’ test
5. The “Internal SD” test should pass, and it should show “permanent write-nonprotect”.
If the internal card is bad it may be effecting other operations.
If the internal card passes, then uninstall all of your apps that are installed to the SD card. Backup all of the files from your SD Card. Format the card while it is in your phone.
Put your backups back on the card and re-install your apps.
If you are using or have used the perfmod from any of the Streakdroid builds I suggest a factory reset from recovery, install BB 351 or 354 (install appropriate recovery first) and then if you want reinstall Streakdroid without perfmod.
Thanks marvin02 I will give that a shot and report back with the results.

Hey guys, sorry for the disappearing act, had a lot going on as of late.
Anyways, thanks Marvin for the advice, the SD card test showed no issue with the card, but I was still unable to uninstall apps on the card. I called Dell tech and they gave me a service number and asked that I call back late Sept. and they will send me a replacement.

So I was stupid and accidentally formatted my internal SD memory. I make semi-regular backups and I read the warning for the CM9 alpha a million times, but the issue I have is that when I plug my phone into my windows 7 machine it shows all the files being there. I obviously can't access them and I was wondering why this is happening. I'm too tired to deal with it right now, so I'm just FTPing my files onto the phone over night. Any help or information would be appreciated.
Definitely sounds odd. There is a free program to recover deleted items on Android. I'll see if I can find it and link it back here.
Edit: here it is, completely free. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355439

Hi everyone, I have one question regarding my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.
1 month back i could have easily moved large amount of my newly installed apps to SD card without any problem. But recently whatever I install, I just cannot move it on SD anymore. I understand there are many apps that cannot be moven, but whatever i tried to install (randomly) from Google store just stays on my phone and option to move it to SD is blank (unavailable). Now, I'm wondering is this something that happens frequently, or have I maybe done something that somehow blocked that function?
I'll note this app (which previously when i had no problem moving apps from phone to SD or other way around wasn't installed):
Disk Defragmenter
another note: I never rooted or flashed my phone in any way, just regular updates. I'm currently on 4.0.4 version ( installed it 5 minutes ago, but still problem with moving to SD).
I have never face a problem like u'r..i'm using 4.0.4 too..
format u'r sd card and try
thanks for reply.
Well, i considered doing that, but i have so much settings on my phone that would take ages to redo once i reinstall all the apps...
Hey bro try link2sd then
Try formatting sd card and reset factory settings. Or you can root and move any app to sd..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
use Link2SD is much better
Thanks for your time guys, I've formated and it looks like it's working now. I'll just have to spend some time to readjust settings like they were before. Thank you again. Lock if needed.
Glad to hear it. Good luck

The latest release (the one that now prevents root on the S4), now allows apps to SD...Of course I am now rooted running hyperdrive..do you all think that will be incorporated into the ROM or is there a fix for rooted folks to use? Many thanks!!
Why do you even want that update? It brings nothing earth shattering to the table. It is literally just the app to the SD. Say you have a game with a 150 MB apk and a 2.5 GB days file... you will only be moving the apk. The data will still reside on your internal memory. You are exponentially better off eschewing the update and using a third party app to move the data and symlink it.
