[Q] Auto Clear App Cache? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So the web browsers and social apps in total are occupying around 3 GB of phone storage. And I clear them manually every day which really bugs me. I tried es manager's cache clearer but it cleans 1.5GB of cache and keeps the app cache which is the other 1.5GB.
I'm using galaxy note 2 so apps can't be installed on external SD.
How can I make the apps clear their cache automatically? Also isn't the apps job is to clear its cache regularly?
Thanks.

[Q] Cache Cleaner: Apps To Exclude?

I'm using Cache Cleaner NG and I wanted to know if it is OK to use it on EVERY app. Right now, I have it set to clean every cache on the Thunderbolt, including the SD card. There are settings to exclude certain apps if I want. Should I exclude anything?
So far I haven't had any propblems cleaning everything.
I usually just clear everything, I have not experienced any issues, wait for others to chime in though
I've also used it for every app without any issues.

I'm looking for a real working android cleaner

Hello,
i would like to know if there is an android app that really cleans cache data of every app..i tried many apps but for example they aren't able to clean browser search history and many other things.
Another thing about the app that i'm looking for is the possibility to clean the data app..i make you an example..i login in Facebook..then i start the data clean and this delete all informations,data,everything saved by that app..then if i open Facebook again it thinks it's the first time i ve opened it (i can obtain it if i go in the options of my android then applications then i select an application and i push "cancella dati" in italian..i think "delete data" in english..so no cache cleaner but app data cleaner)..
It would be nice to have all these things in a complete great app.
I hope that you understood everything.
thank you so much.
i m waiting your answer.

Have you tried SD Maid?
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using XDA Premium HD app
SD Maid seems to be the best. Cachemate is also pretty good (for cache).
i ve tried both..
fos sdmaid i asked the refund..
i think there isn't a very complete app..just because it's hard for a developer add all informations about where every app in the market saves data..there are thousand of apps..it's a too big work..
anyway..if u find something tell me..
thank you!
What does the wipe chace from recovery delete?

For erasing history:
History Eraser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.eraser
For clearing cache:
1Tap Cleaner - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.acc.free
Been using these for a long time and they do what you're asking for. In 1Tap cleaner you can clear cache for all apps and if you hold down on an app it'll take you directly to the app info screen so you can clear data there. Much easier than going through the Manage Applications menu.

The wipe cache option in recovery formats /cache partition of the device, which is a system cache and not app cache.
------------------------------
/cache
This is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.

I recommend 1Tap Cleaner. It has history/cache/call and text cleaners. Really does clear all of them too. Helps save space.

Seconding this one. I use it in conjunction with tasker so it keeps things clean after exiting, etc.
Yes 1tap cleaner is very good.

[Q] How does Android handles cache and storage?

I have a HTC EVO 3D for months now and I've never experienced issues with it, but I aways have plenty of storage left and have done a system reset once so I don't know how it behaves. I'm very curious about this because I've explored some apps cache sizes and for example Facebook was about 50 MB. Is there a limit?
I'd like to know what happens when the internal storage runs out of space. Does Android (regardless of device / custom manufacturers "skins") automatically take care of deleting old cache files from apps?
I mean, if you run out of internal storage in a Nexus device, what happens?
When you run out of internal storage space, the system will warn you with low disk space message.. I am not sure whther there is any limit for the cache.. But if you are interested in clearing cache.. you can use some apps like Clean Master.. Or if you are in JB, you can do that directly from settings.. Just touch the Cache under storage, then it will prompt you with a message whether to clear the cache or not..
What I'm really interested is in how automatic ("smart") is Android for a non-tech end-user.
IMO the system should be smart enough to handle this by itself, keeping the user away of hassle of manual management.

Memory Issues

If you're having issues with memory, and you know you have more memory than displayed; check one of these places.
DCIM: picture storage, but it will sometimes cache EVERY .jpg file on your device. A couple of reboots will usually do away with this.
com.cooliris.media: this is also a cache for pics and data of some sort. Take a look at this and erase the cache. It stores your photo or video meta info, unencrypted. It had 333 MB of my memory and info stored. *chunk_0* is where your data is stored unencrypted.
LOST.DIR: I just had 2.4 GB wind up in here. Spent an hour looking for the culprit and finally found it by using Storage Analyser from the Play Store.
This isn't normal cache, this is huge chunks of data being placed in these areas.
If I find any more unusual spots that suck up memory, and the cause, I'll try and add it here.
**ALWAYS double check before randomly erasing stuff**
Yeah, this is why I use a cache cleaner (All-In-One Toolbox).
Cache cleaners won't clear out LOST.DIR or chunk_0.
Sorry, I meant an SD card cleaner.

[Q] Cache limit in Android

Well, this morning I was cleaning data on my DX (caché, app data, etc.) using Link2SD (I like how it organizes apps and details size of each type of data). Some apps stored 50MB of cache and it bugs me, cause it isn't phone's memory only, microSD card is storing cache too, and I wonder if we can limit the amount of cache stored in the phone (and SD card too).
If your phones rooted, use an app called cache mate, real simple and straight forward, it does what it needs to, and you can set it up to clear cache at certain times. Its a free app, you can get the pro if you want additional features.
Just search it up on the Play Store.
