[Q] Space issue - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep running out of space on my 2 gig partition every few days and I keep resetting to the factory settings on the phone. I have most of my applications off that 2 gig partition. What is weird is that when it shows the breakdown of storage usage, the total is never close to 1.9 gig. Right now, it has apps at 200meg and cached data of 15 mb. Yet available is only at 88 MB. Its really really odd and I am not sure what is causing this.
I do have Andriod 4.2.2 and am using CM 10.1
Does anyone have any potential solutions for this?

Wrong section... Should be in Q&A.. I have recollection of viber causing some issues with some roms. Could it be that? Check your rom thread for solutions also.

Does moving apps to internal storage hurt the speed of the XS

Today I got the dreaded notification that has haunted my past xperias for years, you have low storage memory available
I'm an app hoarder and keep apps ill probably never use for months.
I remember seeing an article somewhere that moving apps to the sd card can really slow down your phone. I hope that this won't happen to my phone and am wondering if anyone else has moved apps to internal storage and does it affect the speed?
My xs has been very good to me and barely ever lags, something that I have never experienced unfortunately, I hope it stays that way :S
In short...
Q. Does moving apps or anything in general to internal storage affect the speed of the XS? Have you noticed any difference?
Bump, why isn't anyone answering :'(

because your question is easily google-able... heck even if u're using a little logic, u can answer the question urself.
A: the answer is NO. it's in the same memory chip (the 32 gB one), so the speed is must be the same. the difference maybe will come in the filesystem (ext4 v fat32), but afaik the speed different is really minimal (if any )

Low memory after trying to mod....

I calculated my apps and the memory is no where near 2gb and yesterday it said I was low, I cleared the cache and all the data I could, still low while I remember having a few hundred mbs couple weeks ago.
I was trying to mod my webtop using the old scripts, long story why I wasn't doing it with webtop2sd, but I got the low space warning then. I think something big might have gotten moved into that folder but can't find anything unless I'm not looking in the right spots.
How much space needs to be free before the warning goes away? I freed a lot and there is no way I used it all unless something moved there by accident.
Thanks

data usage

anybody else notice an increase in their data usage when on a jb rom?
i have a 2gb data plan and when i'm on an ics rom (currently padawan 5 or 9),
i don't come near to using the 2gb monthly limit.
when i switch to any jb rom, i get a message from at&t warning me i'm at 65%
usage after the first two weeks of the month.
yes, i've checked the synch setting and i don't do anything differently between either rom.
weird.

Under settings the third item is "data". It tells you what's using data and how much it's using. If you're on a strict data diet I HIGHLY recommend checking it often. You can even set limits and usage warnings. I have unlimited and thank God because I use at least 1 gig a week. I'm constantly streaming music. I noticed that "Google now" and "maps" is sucking up more data than it use too.

Time for Droid Wall.
Greenify worked a lot in my case.

2GB partition claims low on space, but not.

I gave my wife my i777 a few weeks ago after getting my new phone. I wiped it and put Cyanogen 10.1.3 Final on it for her to use.
She is having an odd issue. The 2GB partition reports "Storage space is running out". It claims only 19.62MB available, but only 590MB in use by apps, and 1.49MB by cached data. The graph for this partition shows slightly less than a third of the space being used, and the rest available. That would seem to agree with the amount being reported in use, but blatantly contradicts the amount being reported free.
Does anyone know what would cause this discrepancy of nearly 1.4GB?
When wiping the cache and davlik cache had no effect, I wiped the phone, reinstalled CM, and restored a Titanium backup. It is showing the correct amount of free space now. I'd still be interested to know what might have led to that situation, if anyone has an idea.
I'd guess a bad flash.
I am having this exact problem on the latest Omni 4.4.2 nightly rom. Can I reformat just the internal storage so re-flash isn't necessary? Everything else about the ROM is running just fine.

[Q] No space in app storage, no idea why

My phone has been a bit flaky lately. Recently upgraded to CM 10.2, Because I lost everything before, I really don't have many apps installed, but my phone now constantly says I'm out of space. When I use DiskUsage to look at it, it shows 572 Mb in applications 1344 in System data (leaving me with barely anything). I've moved most of the apps that I can over, so I'm wondering what other troubleshooting options I have to figure out what is using my space. I'm planning on upgrading to another phone before long but was hoping to make this one last another month or two. Just odd since prior to this I had it loaded up with apps and never ran into this. is CM10.2 that much bigger than 9 and that is causing my problem?
So in case anyone was interested. I found out my problem (found out others having issues on a CM forum). My \data\log directory had several hundred megs of logs in it. Once cleared, I had nearly 500 megs free. Just something to keep an eye out for. I know it won't permanently fix whatever the issue is, but at least my phone is up and working again.
