[SOLVED] 2GB Apps partition is full?! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i just work up and i found the attached notification. I didnt even go to market for the past week iirc. For the past 3 days i am very sure i didnt. And i went to Setings -> Application i saw i was left with 14MB. It keeps jumping between 13 and 14MB free.
Anyone encounter this before? Can guide me where to start troubleshooting? Im gonna restart the phone first. But i hope to find out the root cause
EDIT: just tried and it is still persistent

I do surf the web but i do not download stuff often, including apps. Im on the stock jelly bean leak and philz kernel. I just cleared cache and dalvik from recovery but no help. My total apps size never crossed 1GB and when i came over to this rom i only restored what i needed only which i doubt it every crossed 600MB. I am on this ROM ever since it was released on xda and i have no issues until this morning which i find it odd.
I tried to uninstall an app but it Didnt help much

Read one of the many other "insufficient storage" threads for answers. No need for another topic simply to repeat same answers.

My ans is all found here.

But how do we know which paths and folders reside on the 2GB partition? Hopefully it doesnt come back again.

[Q] Problem With Android Market

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?
because i faced the same problem since couple of days

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

Open titanium backup and see if there is any application related to market frozen? If you find frozen app, just defrost it. Also clear the market cache.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
I had the problem for a long time. Got the new market and it would actually give me an error message, about insufficient storage.
Info in settings clearly said I had enough, but still constant fails.
Eventually installed link2sd, used it on some apps problem solved.

try this --> wipe data of Market using Titanium backup. You will need to login again in market.
Check if your Google talk is working or not. I came across the same problem and I was advised to log out of gtalk and log in again. That didn't help me. I just flashed the rom over the existing rom. You can also flash gapps if you are on custom rom
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Best way is flash Gapps again. It will resolve this issue permanently.

Some of my apps are disappearing after updating my rom?

I installed the Common Sense rom about a week ago, and when I updated it to 1.2.1, I noticed some of my apps were missing. Among these was Uniwar HD, as you can see in the attached screenshot. I got this from the Amazon Appstore and figured it might have just been because of that, but a couple of my apps from the Play Store were gone, too. Anyone have any ideas of what could've caused this?
If it helps, my Evo 3D is the CDMA version with Hboot 1.5 S-on.

Did you just try re-installing it? Did you do a full wipe when flashing? Is the app moved to the sd card?

I couldn't find it on the Appstore for whatever reason... It was a FAOTD just a few days ago, too. I didn't wipe before flashing, and I believe it was in the phone's storage.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
How bout some help from the dev of this Rom a full wipe is required with the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.1 because I had to make some data/app changes to sort some bugs out. I recommend wiping everything (except sdcard) twice, and then flashing the Rom, that way no bits and pieces from the last version are there. From 1.2.1 on, you won't need to do this though.
If you haven't tried wiping the cache and dalvik-cache already, do that and see if it works. If not, do as I mentioned above. If you still can get it, send me a pm and we'll sort this out

Please help with storage problems

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.

Memory problems with paranoid Android 3.99

Hi, me again...
Well after I managed to flash paranoid Android and run it without lag I were happy for some time... but know I noticed that my phone has some serious problems with it's memory used. It even closes my keyboard while writing a message.
After reboot the memory usage is normal again for some time, but it'll start again after some hours.
Hope somebody has a solution or an advice for me?
Sent from my GT-i9100 using xda app-developers app
Alright was able to fix this problem with 2 steps, I don't know if one of them would be enough, didn't test them solo...
First I installed a flashable zip found on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360985
Btw, it works more fluently now than ever, great work :thumbup:
Second step is an app of play store, guess it's also an app from a xda developer called Android tuner .
I activated most of the 1 klick system tweaks and since that I never had problems again with memory leaks.
If I think about it closer, this thread should be moved to general forum and out of sgs2. Would appreciate it if someone could move it.
Thx though
