Hi,
I searched the forum and read a few articles, but could not find the solution.
My sgs with CM10.1 Nightly (20130314) warns about low storage. Several apps don't work anymore due to not enough internal storage.
I checked the storage:
internal storage: 360 MB in use, 1.1 GB free
RAM: 253 MB in use, 116 MB free
SD: 5.3 GB in use, 329 MB free
This doesn't look to me like real storage problems.
I cleared internal cache through the recovery, moved apps to the SD card, but that doesn't seem te help. Frankly, I don't know what's wrong. Can anyone tell me what the real storage problem might be?

I understand on a PC memory is for active stuff and storage is for keeping things you need but can pull into memory for actual use.
If I go to task manager on this phone, it says total memory 803MB, used 588 - free 215MB.
Then it shows all applications 26MB
How do I see how much of my storage is in use? Is that 26MB of whatever sized storage card came with this phone?
ROM vs. RAM?
Thanks
That's showing your RAM, to see how much storage space your phone has left go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Storage use
Thanks - it says 8GB 5.5GB available. Internal storage .93GB.
Ever since these tablets and phones came out "memory" seems to be the generic term for just about everything in the device - RAM, ROM, NAND, EMMC, SD...
This is actually not different from a pc so why is the term memory used so freely? Traditionally RAM was/is considered memory. In the phone NAND is the ROM or flash memory. emmc is the internal storage. Sd is the external storage. But they're all called memory, even in spec sheets. Technically I suppose they are all memory, but why not address them with differing terms?
At one time they'd list it as 512 RAM/512ROM or flash rom. And storage would be called storage or sd card. It would save a lot of confusion and arguments that I've seen where two people are correct in what they've said, just incorrect in answering the question asked.

Yup the SD card has the green hornet in it, and the internal memory is like a 1GB free when you get the phone
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Hello i am a HTC Desire user. i was suffering the low memory problems on desire. so i rooted my phone and installed leedroid's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633 rom.
well it says that it will get 1gb free space but after installing i checked in Settings>>APP Manager>>Storage Use its showing only 129 MB free
is it all right or am i doing anything wrong?
i have also partitioned my sd card as per leedroid (1gb EXT3)
please help
I don't really know where you've seen 1Gb free space.. you've got 1gb free space on you sd card to move your apps to, but you internal memory has 128MB free because this one is limited. You can try moving your apps to sd, but eventually you'll run out of memory....
as we know we have a 4GB of internal memory 1GB of it for user and 3 GB for app right ??
I have about 1.7GB used as (other) as phone says and about 600 MB for apps !

1GB - EMMC (Internal Storage for files)
1.2GB - Internal memory for Apps.
990MB - ROM.
That is what I know.
I use a 9 inches Qpad, rooted, owl upgrade bootloader. Model number L916-3 internal memory is 16gb partitioned into 2.. 4gb for installation and 12gb as internal sdcard.. 32gb external sdcard.. 2gb Ram
Now, the first problem is aver since the day I started using it, the Ram as been used up even though there are very few applications installed. I usually have less than 350gb free ram space. So the device is slow..
Second problem is I installed the things I needed along the line, but recently I realized applications are missing on my phone, like 11 of them, at first I think this is nothing.. I tried to instal some again then it says insufficient memory.. then I uninstall some applications, some well above 45mb, and yet I can't instal back an application of 850kbytes.. and I still have above 3gb free internal memory, 7gb free internal sdcard and 28gb free external sdcard.. please help me, my device is becoming useless
My S5 shows 1.27 GB available in the internal storage. I know I can move apps and files to my SD card, but I'm curious about freeing up internal space.
When I look at the storage in Windows Explorer it shows 1.24 GB free of 9.71 GB. The phone shows the following:
Total Space: 16.00 GB
System memory: 6.26 GB (I assume that's the difference between what the phone says is total space and what Explorer says).
Used space: 6.01 GB
Cached data: 447 MB
Miscellaneous files: 2.02 GB
I assume I can delete from Used and Miscellaneous, but looking at the various folders in Explorer they are either empty or the files are extremely small. I've already removed pictures and I don't have any music or videos stored internally. It could just be a lot of the stupid Samsung and Sprint bloatware taking up the space.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
