Hi Comm
Since Link2SD is used all over the Android community I am dragging this out to here...

Hi Comm
I am using Link2SD on my Ace since a long time now, so internal memory was not an issue anymore since then.
Usually the internal memorys usage is somewhere around 100MB, leaving plenty of space for cachefiles.
Today, out of a sudden, my internal memory shows a usage of almost 150MB ... WTF!?
I cleaned all caches, and checked within Link2SD whether all my apps are linked to the 2nd partition. They are...
That makes almost 50MB of something in my internal memory, and i have no idea where it came from or what it could be...
Thanks for your help!

The HTC phone from my girlfriend is affected in the same way. Maybe there went something wrong with the last release of Link2SD!?

The main issue with apps like linktosd or app2sd is that they are moving apps wich cannot be moved (not in every case)
So if an app wich normaly needs to be on ur internal storage makes some requests it will be allowed to to store some data on ur internal storage
i know this sucks but cus of that reason i bought an phone with 1 gb internal sorage so it works
Hi peeps,
Just finished setting up phone with link2sd installed all my apps had like 350mb internal free. Today for somereason I have 5mb free and sometimes 43mb??
Any ideas? Could a game installed it self in the internal memory?
Im running real ics lite and rage kernel.
Very odd I got low space warning, everything is linked to sd card, got a 4gb second ext and using a 16gb class 10 card.
Where can I start to look? Dont want to have to start all. Over again
Thanks in advance

Sometimes, after a reboot, apps not fully linked. You should re-link all apps that already linked. Open link2sd, filter by linked apps, select all then create link again.

That's right, whenever I flash a new rom and get the low memory warning, I just re-link apps on sd-ext and the low memory warning goes away...
Guys, seriously, its been a long time since my phone started to show red smal icon of a chip in upper left corner, telling the internal memory of my phone is finishing, I m done with deleting unnecessary apps. What can i do ? I tried to clean cashe, delete downloaded files from apps..
Get a phone with more internal memory
Just kidding
If its rooted and you have an SD card you can potentially run apps off an ext partition, unroofed phones will allow some apps to be moved to fat partition but this slows things down
Maybe add in what kind of phone and some more details for further help

Depending on your phone, the ROM it runs also takes a good majority of the ram, installing apps like a mad man makes it even worse.

Hi all,
I have a problem with my internal storage: not all space (read almost nothing) is avaidable for me to use.
From the 1.97 gb can i only use like 650 mb.
The storage manager says the following:
Total space: 1.97 gb
Apps: 637 mb
Space free: 29 mb
So i miss 1.3gb of needed space.
I already tried to wipe my device, without succes.
And i also installed another rom, same result...
Anybody?
Thank you!

You can clear any accumulating log files by opening the dialog pad and tapping *#9900# Then delete dumpstate/logcat to remove them. This often frees up over 1GB of storage.

I can't believe this actually worked. Thank you.
Are these logs created by flashing custom roms etc or is it possible that my anti-technical grandma encounters the same problem?

Everyone gets them, like it or not. Even if your grandma were a rocket scientist.

Hope someone can help, my S2 ran low on memory yesterday and I found these great instruction which cleared 700mb of log files, it was fine all day and I checked the storage again last evening and it was sill OK showing about 750mb free.
Woke this morning to find the phone was low on memory again, with only 50mb free, I cleared the dumpstate/logcat again and its back to 750mb free now.
What could have created 700mb of log files overnight and how can I locate the problem?
Many thanks.
PS I'm not rooted any more as I hated not being able to use the banking or sky apps so I'm back on stock JB.
Before I moved from 4.1.2 to 4.4 (trying different ROMs), I repartitioned my storage (PIT file) from 2gb up to 4gb because I was getting messages that I was out of storage, even though I had 300mb left. Since upgrading to 4gb, all has been well until now. Lately, I've been doing a lot of installing, deinstalling, reinstalling of certain apps and now suddenly, I am getting messages again about how much storage is left (1.7gb, as a matter of fact). I want to know why the messages suddenly started to appear - in other words, is their display normal behavior from the kernel or the ROM, or if I can make them go away. With 1.7gb, they seem unnecessary, but then again, I thought that when I had 300mb left of 2gb, so I am a little worried that I might start getting false messages that I am out of storage and even have to repartition again.

Do you have logs in /data/log?
Do you get error messages or only toast messages? The toast messages are coming from ES-File Explorer every time you install or update an app.

no logs exist. if the message is a toast from ES File Manager, is that a new thing? I never saw that before.

I've tried almost everything and the problem remains, even the *#9900# .. it doesn't work... I'm a bit frustrated and I don't know what to do... I would love to restart my phone with a new kernel or ROM, but with some default settings, but I'm scared, I've never changed the kernel I guess

Go to settings - storage. Look at internal storage. Does the different components add up to 1,97GB? How much space do you have available?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
yeah, it says 1,97gB total space, and and it's supposed to say 1,12GB available.
The weird thing that's the Internal memory but I think it's for apps. When I try to send via bluetooth 1 picture to my phone (to the SD card) it says it is full. It also happens when I try to move an app from the internal memory to the SD. But the real thing is that the SD card it has like 10GB free.
When I connect my phone to the computer, it says that the internal memory has 0kb available and the SD card the 10GB free.
So confusing...

Strange, maybe you can search for a folder that's taking up much space. Or maybe formatting. Backup your files and folders to pc.

I have this question, what to delete and what do not delete from the internal memory?
I also wanted to search for a big folder but none of them seems to be big enough.

Just to be clear.
There are 2 different partition called internal storage. One is almost 2gb and one almost 12gb. The second one (12gb) is full?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
The 1,97GB internal storage has 1,12GB available. The 11,50GB Internal storage have 0,00B available...

I find some app data that wasn't deleted after I deleted the app in /sdcard/Android. Maybe you got that too. Made some recovery backups?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
Yeah, I've done many backups in the past, and I've also found many folders of old apps deleted but those folders are still there.

Backups takes a lot of space. Delete the ones you don't need anymore. Also the folders of old apps.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
thanks, and yeah, i did delete the old backups, but there are so many old repeated apps and I don't know which delete now

Maybe you can use /data/app names to figure out what folders you can delete.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
Thanks, now the last question I guess...
Which folders I should really NOT delete?

If I'm right there aren't any system files on the internal storage(sdcard), but some apps do store data there and of course your personal files, like pictures, downloads or maybe music. You can copy all of the data to your pc, so you have a backup.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
Thanks!! Yeah, I'm currently about to delete all those folders. The pictures, videos, music it doesn't even care. !!
About the apps, if I delete those folders, should I just re-install the app if it have some problem?

I would advice you to do a backup, just to be sure. You can format the internal sdcard in recovery. After that reboot and the necessary files/folders will be rebuild.
