I'm stock unrooted and locked boot loader with the latest OTA and just a few minutes ago I went on the market to update "Tip-off basketball" game and it said I have inssufficent memory available..I have 157 ram free and over 1.85gb in the app storage section so I don't know what's wrong. Did the new ota mess something up? My radio app updated perfectly. Anyone else encounter this problem? I updated it again and it went through but had to download the game 3 times total(19mb each time) before it updated. This can be a problem for those on limited data from Verizon.
I'm having the exact same problem, same setup, only it's happening on multiple apps and I even uninstalled several apps to try to get more space. I should have plenty now and it's not working. Also Apps2SD doesn't seem to work at all. No place to move them to even though I have a 32gb microsd card installed and room on the "internal" built in SD card. Please help!
Sorta had the same thing happen with an app I never figured it out but when I re flashed the rom it no longer occurred. Maybe try erase data for Google play as a less aggressive approach first

When I had that problem it was because the odex of the app corrupted. So I deleted it and Bam.

they dont ever tell you this but, its good to do a factory reset after an OTA. it insures that you phone is clean after an OTA.
You will loose all your data. my suggestion to you is just do the htc dev unlock then use titanum backup for your apps and data. relock the phone and do a factory reset.
unlock with htc dev and restore with TI. then if you want you can go back to lock.
EDIT:
forgot dev unlock deletes data. :/

Doesn't unlocking wipe the phone? I think I remember it wiping mine

You can also go into settings then apps and sort by size. Sometimes a culprit jumps out at you there.
Clearing cache and/or data for that app sometimes helps.

Insufficient storage op... Did u get it worked out?
Related
My software on my droid x2 isn't doing good. From what I have seen something will happen in the background that causes all my system apps to restart, only they never finish restarting which begins to devour my memory and eventually leads to my phone freezing up. Also the ringtones like to change randomly to default (alarms set in third party apps too).
I was hoping rooting and getting rid of bloatware would solve this problem but it is still persisting. I thought I could restore backed up system apps with Titanium Backup so I was removing the apps. I'll leave them "restoring" for 45 minutes with no luck (I tried both just restoring the app and restoring both apps and data). So apparently it doesn't work like that.
My question is if I do a factory reset with my phone in its current condition, will I have an issue?
If u diddnt freeze the apps then you might. Did u back them up before u removed them?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Yes I backed up all of them, but when I go to restore them it doesn't work. It just keeps restoring them eternally. I waited 45 minutes for app only restore and it wasn't done.
If I am just clearing data in the process of a factory reset, can I maybe wipe data manually or with a tool that wipes data?
Anyone know the answer to this? I tried installing from the apk pack of services, but not all of them would install. My phone really needs a factory reset, I'm getting a lot of software related errors.
Could I maybe manually wipe certain apps? If anyone happens to know which built in apps are okay to wipe I would like to know.

Yes you can wipe an apps data. Go to applications in the settings menu and then click on the app you want to clear and select clear data.

Not all the apps in system can be installed via tapping on them. They need to be manually moved to system/app then change permissions. You can copy all over using root explorer

All you need to do is swap internal and external mount points. My Eclipse ROM has this built in. There is an init.d script that is floating around here that will do it as well.

sorry sir i am novice in this field and dont know about software development or scripting. and dont want to replace or flash my original rom with other. because i also tried to backup my original rom with rom manager, but this **** phone is so weird , no trick works in it, somewhere i read that it is ubifs or something why it didnt work. so can u please mention step by step procedure in easy language so that i can understand how can i increase internal memory.
As a new person to root I have another question that I need help with. After rooting my EVO I somehow did a factory reset and wiped all data from my phone. That gives me around 400mb. After flashing synergy rom and adding a apps I noticed my internal phone storage was 75mb remaining out of 250mb. I have no where near the amount of apps I had before with less space. So my question is, does the ROM file take up internal phone space once flashed? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for your help.

On sense ROMs, more files are made in the /data partition, due to the greater amount of lib files and other things created by Sense. When you install one app it makes data in /data/data and /data/dalvik , and sense has many apps so the space used goes straight to hell in a basket. But use a Vanilla Rom, and space should go down a bit...Use disk analyses to see what's using the space.

Thanks ill try that. I'll start looking for a vanilla ROM. Any particular one to use with 2.3? I just rooted with the revolutionary. Thanks again.

I don't actually know which ROMs are avail for Evo, maybe you can use MIUI/CM7 or the most popular AOSP? If you choose to use Sense, just remove some apps from the /system partition.
along with resetting the phone to "factory defaults", did you wipe cache and dalvik cache 3 times? I used CWM the other day on my phone to install a ROM and forgot to wipe cache also... kept getting "device is low on memory" errors. Wiped cache and dalvik 3 times, installed the ROM again, everything worked perfectly.
Why 3 times? Extreme redundance LOL. Once is enough. Wiped means its wiped doing it two more times is mildly retarded.

Could be bad blocks on the MTD/Nand chip? If the block are bad then the ROM might not be restore-able anymore. or the backup could be bad, try another ROM instead.
My SD card was full so that's why the backups failed. I had no idea the files were so big. Now still in search for another Rom. No luck with finding the vanilla Rom.

I installed the update yesterday and got the following problem:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to "error".
So my question: Does anyone have a copy or I don't know what of this update so I could try to intall it again? But I only want the original one..
Or if there's a way to correct it without installing the whole update again I'm of course open to.
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
I had the same problem but not with wireless, with mobile data. Only thing that sorted it was a factory reset unfortunately. Not as bad if you use an app like app backup and restore and copy all of your phone storage to computer and back again after factory reset but still a pain

Thanks for the reply.
Do I remember right that you must be rooted to do a backup of phone data? Because then I'm screwed! Or is there another way or a software only running on the computer?
I wasn't rooted when I did it. I just backed up all my apps except system apps using app backup and restore, connected razr to PC in mass storage mode, copied the whole contents of the internal memory to my PC, did a factory reset, reinstalled app backup and restore, allowed non market apps in application settings, copied everything back from the PC, ran app backup and restore and reinstalled my apps. Note the order as back up apps are saved on the internal memory.
May be an easier way to do it though. I don't know if it would do the same with the motocast USB backup?

What do you mean with that? Why should I notice that and where can I see that (if I loke at it in explorer the apps are in alphabetical order..).
I don't know Motocast function but it seems pretty much more complex than just copy paste.. at least to me as I also never used it.
I did a factory reset, problem stays the same: error in wifi. Can someone provide me the update to flash it again and see if it helps? The only other way is to send to repair which I would not like to do..
I just flashed it on mine and everything went well. I think you might have to go to the recovery mode and do factory reset.
Good luck.

Did the update (from the other post) again, worked fine, but the problem with wireless still stays the same.. has anyone ideas how to solve?
PS: Could I try to flash an old OTA Update file in the same manner and then update again or wouldn't that work out?
Had the same error with my wifi a while back, but that was before the update. I went ahead and had the phone replaced because i was not able to get a solution.
no love for the nandroid?

I upgraded to this one through rds lite. But it doesn't seem as quick as the 651.167.19 upgraded to. 21 through moto cast.
Anyway to get back to that? Is rds safe. As in can i flash the .19 through rds without damaging my phone?

It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

When I ran the exploit to unlock the bootloader and had to restore it wiped my data.. when it wiped my data I lost all of my music and pics (not a huge deal since I had only a few) but later down the road are we going to have to backup everything to pc in order to flash things?
I wouldn't think so but obviously it's always a good thing to back up what you wanna keep... That being said, how do you like that beast other than this minor issue?

Unlocking the bootloader always erases everything, including the SD card (internal). It's a security feature in case someone finds your phone and wants to access your personal data.
Flashing ROMs will not delete items in your SD card (/sdcard0 folder) so you won't lose pictures and music. This is why it's suggested to immediately unlock your bootloader so you don't personalize your phone too much and lose the data down the road.
