I'm using liberated 008 and seems like no difference if i move apps to SD or internal storage. I have 15 megabytes left on internal storage and i moved almost all applications to the SD card and i still have 15 MB free space. Do i have to do something special to use this feature? I've tried to move apps with titanium backup and via manage applications. Seems like they moved and i still have low space. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Yes, my phone is rooted.

I'm trying to dl a game from the market, but it keeps telling me my phone has insufficient space. The game is around 40mb, but both my phone space and my sd card space are in the many gb range. I just don't get it.

I get this from time to time also. Try deleting market data and then try to download it again.
I was hoping it would be that easy, but I just get the same message. Lame.

Your /datadata partition is either full, or will be over full if the game is installed. Try uninstalling another large app and see if that helps.

I think its /cache directory where temp downloads from market are stored. Try cleaning cache partition from recovery.
On CM7 I only get around 40mb free in cache so big download from market have problems from time to time unless I clean it.

Ive got rid of a bunch, but still only have 100mb free What is using all my space?
try to use gemini app and disable uneeded apps. (disable it in the auto run config)
You have enough ram to run everything and if some app would need more ram then android will kill some but you will never know because super fast processor.

Use link2sd. Your internal memory will not lose even 1mb even if you install 100 apps

i have the same question back then.. when i installed app2sd and launch it, it says there is 35mb cache on the phone memory and ask whether or not to remove it. seems that some of the apps is taking up some room.
i cant tell whether you already root your phone or not by just looking at your statement "Ive got rid of a bunch", if not you might want to do it. its nice that you can remove all the craps that comes preinstalled like mine
get app2sd and move all of those apps, delete cache.
I have like 100 mb free too and I need my few games
I just installed Gemini app. It's real cool stuff! Release 136mb to my mini!

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.
