Hi Guyse,
I'm having a very strange problem with my a70.
My system memory is getting fuller and fuller. Usually, I had about 60 - 70 MiB of empty storage left.
Since yesterday, I got the low memory message a few times. Uninstalled a few apps, everything was ok again.
Low memory message again.
After doing this a couple of times, I checked my system memory with
DiskUsage:
Data 299 MiB
--------------------------
Applications 89,1 MiB
System Data 187,2 MiB
Free Space 23,2 MiB
That is way too much System Data, I thought. And I was right.
I work in a retail store. Unboxed a brand-new A70, installed 2.326, looked up empty Storage - 235 MiB !
So the original Android needs only 64 MiB - that's a huge difference.
I already used Cachecleaner, bought me exactly 1.5 MiB.
Any idea how to solve this Problem?
I'd be grateful for every hint.
The only things changed in the last days before this happened:
- Updated to 2.326
(But I guess more users would report this if it was a bug)
- Finally got an prepaid Credit Card and went wild on the market.
(I have a slightly strange feeling that the downloaded apk's from the market are stored in the system memory, but can't go further in because of missing root. and knowledge. and why didn't I experience this problem sooner when downloading demos from the market ?)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
pintness
I have the same problem with my A101IT. It says I still have 335mb left and i started downloading and installing some apps and the message said low on disk space. So I started deleting all the apps. And now it's saying I have 160mb left.... It should give back atleast 250mb space but it didn't......
I was having this problem, and tracked it down to an application 'Perfect Viewer' which was building image cache in the system memory (about 30MB). After contacting the author, he moved the cache to SD storage and the problem was resolved. You may have a similarly misbehaving application. Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications->All and hit Menu->Sort by size. Check each application to see how much data they have stored. If you can, move it to internal storage. If you can't, and it's in the tens of MBs, contact the author - or just uninstall it and use an alternative.
Try app2sd

As I wrote, I already used CacheCleaner, didn't bring much.
My biggest application is 5 MiB on the system partition.
I still think my date\system folder is way too big. Can someone please check the size on their device? (You can do it with DiskUsage from the market; start and choose "App Storage")
Thanks
It looks like /cache folder is mounted on /data partition...
If you root your device and you clean /cache folder you probably will have back all your lost space... In this folder there are downladed apks from market app that are cached for the install but are not cleaned by the system after the installation...
Try also to delete all dex file from /data/dalvik-cache
Then reboot...
The reboot will be very slow because dex file will be recreated... but dex from old apps no more present on the device will be cleaned up .

damn, I was afraid of something like that.
Never read about this kind of behaviour before, is it a general bug in android?
Is there any possibility to fix this without rooting? I don't want to lose my warranty and temp root would not work if I understand this correct. If there would be any for 2.326.

Temp root would give you the possibility to clear out the cache since it's on the /data partition.
Archangel is reported to work sometimes on 2.3.26 you can always try.
It really works!! Thank you!!
Hey all!
Today earlier I was reading some topic when looking for a fix to the /system low space problem, and then someone said to use this program and/or this program.
I have a few questions about this, since I'm sort of noob in these details.
1) Is this the only thing I can do to get throught this /system problem? (removing unwanted APKs, etc)
2) Do I have to use both of the programs above or they do the same thing?
3) Is there any list of safe-removal APKs for Jelly Bean? I found lists about it, but for other phone models.
4) I'm watching this thread very close. I already use Rashed's CM10 and he is promising an update to the next 48 hours. When this new build comes, am I going to remove all those APKs and that blablabla to reduce the ROM size again?
Thanks in advance!
1. Yes its the only thing you can do (freeing up space in system partition)
2. Use one program which can move apps from system to data partition
3. Phone model doesn't matter, all phones have almost same core applications
4. Yes before flashing try to reduce size of your ROM, if not already done by Rashed
hi guys. got some help about bloatware and system memory.
Bloatware :
- How to delete bloatware clean. as one of my friend said that if we only delete the apk, we still be left with the dependencies, data, lib etc.
- Is there universal tool to delete unwanted bloatware, since I already tried searched here, and all I found are there's only script for different brand and type.
System memory :
- What happen if we got our system memory full (beside we can't install new apps).
- Can we re-size our system memory (for android which doesn't have SD-Card slot).
- Is it true that it's better to keep all apps on system apps, rather than move it to SD-Card.
I know for some of you here, this question sounds simple. but this can really help for fresh android user to avoiding chaos.
Thanks for the time and answers.
Hi all
I learned a lot about android when I unlocked the bootloader of my xperia sola, flashed TWRP and various ROMs, installing GAPPS etc. BUT! I still dont have a clue of how to work with ROM Toolbox Pro for setting Minfree Values or Freezing System Apps I do not need (like Bloatware or NFC etc). Setting Minfree Parameters wont change a thing experience wise or looking at the memory (RAM) gauge. Freezing System App marks it as "freezed" but is still shown in running tasks. This said the RAM gauge of ROM Toolbox shows different values than android´s own (settings/apps).
So what am I missing here? Maybe someone can tell me (hopefully in simple words).
Cheers,
Rogurt

Hi guys, it's my first post here and I apologize if I'm wrong place to write
I updated my LG G2 mini to Android 5.0.2 (stock with OTA) and unfortunately I noticed that now my system data occupies approximately 5 GB of memory (and my phone has 8GB of internal memory)
The problem now is that I have no more space to update all my applications, so I ask here if it was possible to eliminate something, or if it was necessary to install a ROM.
I notice that I've never done any kind of mod to the phone, so I am a complete novice .
I'd rather have still Android 5.0.2, but I would be fine also a modified ROM, also to reduce the use of space, battery and more.
Finally, I add that I still have one year warranty, and if it were possible I would like to preserve it, but if you say that applying a mod the phone will get better, then accept all your tips
A lot of thanks in advance and sorry again
