Guys, I have faced a problem. Hope, someone can help me.
My android device has 8GB internal storage and almost half is available. But in settings it shows only 1GB of apps can be installed. Though I have manage all of my internal storage space free, it always shows I can install only 1GB apps. That's why I can't install apps(apk) which is bigger than 1GB such as NBA2k15 and insufficient storage problem in play store after installation of small amount of apps.
Please help me.

New here so please tell me if this is in the wrong forum.
I have a Acer Liquid Metal on 2.3.6. I have a custom ROM T&L. It came preinstalled with Link2SD. I like to try lots of apps and this problem seems to be haunting me. I reset my phone on the 26th Dec as it was so annoying. I think I have set up Link2SD correctly. I have a 4gb SD with 1gb as ext2. Please see the screen shots attached.
If I have Link2SD, why do I still have a problem with low internal storage?? I have had to remove some app's but the internal storage always gets lower.
Have I set Link2SD up correctly? How can I resolve this problem?
If you need anything further please let me know.
Thanks,
Matt
I have the same problem
Same issue no one help me... even if i link all my apps still internal memory get low....
Even with Link2SD, a part of apps stay on the main RAM, I think there is no solution to that

Hey all of you are getting confuse, this is the solution and it was already mention but maybe you get confuse... Using link2sd...link all your apps as normal, probably after a couple installations you will get low memory, but how is that possible... well..
Just download ANDROID TERMINAL EMULATOR from Market and install it(you must be ROOTED to use it).
Now just TYPE in Terminal:
su
a2sd cachesdreset
After this your device will reboot and you will get a lot of space on your phone... probably link2sd should add this feature on new version but IF not this will works ( i believe that some info stay on phone and link2sd can't see it but phone will keep showing it even if that is garbage or already move to the 2nd partition on your phone just do does command and that is... after that you will love link2sd and will never go back or use app2sd....
Tested By Me... On my Galaxy Ace

I have the same problem. Is it solved???
Hi Guys,
I own Samsung Galaxy Y Duos S6102. Its internal storage is approximately 180Mb. I have rooted the phone and increased my storage to 1Gb using Link2SD.
Now, i have installed around 25 apps and i link them all using Create Link and checking on all 3 checkboxes. Still, my internal storage is getting low. Now i cannot install any apps as the internal storage has become less than 25Mb
When i see the storage info from Link2SD it shows 650Mb free out of the 1Gb partition that i created.
I tried the solution posted above but could not do it. If it helps please be more descriptive
Thank You

an easy way to gain at least 40 mb of internal storage on this phone:
open dialler, dial *#9900#
and then select 'copy to sd card'
results vary but it did help me to regain about 40 mb the first time i tried it
Use ram booster as well as delete all the cache and try to install mount2sd better than link to sd I hope it will help you
FRIEND IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS

You need to install link2sd plus, which enables app and data files to be moved to sdcad
Hello I have rooted my Galasy S4 and flashed cm onto the device. My question is how do i free up the internal storage? I still only have less than 9.57gb of available storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not much really frees up the space because you can break programs or the phone. You can use FolderMount to symlink files from the SD to the Memory Card. Your limited to 3 symlinks unless you buy the program. Myself I couldn't get it to work but maybe I was linking wrong.

Samsung has reserved 6 GB of space for the system, etc. There is no way to get more space, other than an external SD card.
I just have seen screenshots of available storage at 16.00gb mine only shows 9.57gb. That is the only reason I have asked. Thanks for the responses.
There isnt much we can do about that. All we can do is get a larger sd card
Due to variances in how manufacturers measure their space (GB vs GiB: a short version is using 1000MB = 1GB when, strictly speaking, 1024MB = 1GiB), you will never have the same amount of advertised space available on a device.
A device advertised as 16GB will have between 14.3-14.6GiB of available space, depending on the manufacturer. Cut out ~6 of that for Samsung's bloat, and you're left with the 9.x that we currently have.
Whenever possible, store items on your external storage and research if some of the apps you are using will allow the App2SD function (can anyone verify if this still works? I read somewhere it was disabled with the JellyBean update).
Hope that helps, and good luck managing your space. Perhaps its time we all stop being such space hogs ...........(on second thought...nah!)
Hi, i have a Qmobile Noir A110(its a chinese company,you can google it) and it has 175 internal memory. The problem is that its gets full after every hour and i have it tells me: "storage space running out. Some system functions may not work". If i dont clear data out of apps like facebook and messenger, after a while it will say that phone storage full and i cant run any app. This is getting really frustrating. Whenever i download apps, it says that insufficient memory on internal storage but my SD card has plenty of space. I have android 4.2.2 and there isnt a "preferred install location" option in the settings. I also did the android SDK thing which you can do to set the default install location to the external storage but still no luck. I heard that flashing a custom ROM is helpful so i rooted my phone using Mobogenie but i got completely lost at the flashing,unlocking bootloader etc. Can anyone tell me the solution to this? it will be really helpful.
Thanks
Hi, I haven't been able to download or update my apps from Google Play Store for quite some time now, due to the following error: 'Not enough space on device'. I do have enough space on both internal memory as on the SD card.
I'm the (proud) owner of a Xiaomi Redrice (model HM1W)
Android version 4.2.2 HM2013023
MIUI version MIUI-JHBCNAH4.0
I don't know what other information you guys might need.
I really hope you guys can help!
could you be little specific

how much space is exactly there in your internal memory?
Hi Guys!
Just wanted to get this straight once and for all from you, the experts.
I have bought this cheapo Chinese device (yeah, I know...)
The guy selling it swore on his life that the device had 12gb of storage for app installation.
I didn't quite believe that so I asked him to send me a benchmark screenshot to see what was the storage situation and he sent me this:
i.imgur.com/KAyugUv.jpg
So as it says, while it has 12.5 GB of "Internal Storage", it only has 0.68 GB available of System Storage...
And my understanding is that, lots of apps simply Won't install anywhere else besides the System Storage, and even if you can Move the app to the internal storage, it will Still take up some space on the system storage...
Am I understanding this correctly?
If that is so then, does that mean that after my apps use up that measly 680 MB of space on the device I am "SOL" and I won't be able to install anything else on the device??
Thanks for the help!

You can set the setting to directly install to Internal Storage

This unit has android 4.4.4
Could you post a walkthrough on how to do that so that no apps take space under System Storage?

look ..if he means by system storage (the size of the ROM that will be installed) that mean you have 12 GB for your apps and that what i think it means(no android system can take 12gb !!)......and for moving your apps....you can try towelroot to root your device and install any app that can help you moving your apps....or try to go to settings>>apps>>and press the menu button and see if there is a option called...preferred installation bath or something like that>>>set it to removable sd card

I found this on another page:
"System Storage" is where the OS and the System Applications are installed. This could also be considered where the User application are installed (based on your question). User installed applications are installed in /data/apps, settings and app data is stored in /data/data, and then application cache data is stored in /cache. These are all part of the "System Storage".
Internal Storage is an area that is used like an sdcard. As far as the Android OS is concerned, it is an sdcard. Some applications may save data to it, but it is mainly used as direct storage for your stuff. Like pictures taken with the camera, music, ringtones, things like that.
You cannot just adjust the size of system memory. Is it technically possible, yes. But doing so could require you to have knowledge of linux tool, rooting, custom roms, recoveries, and even possibly having to compile your own linux kernel and ROM or other information that I am not thinking of at the moment. Which is well beyond the scope of this site.

So that basically means is that all apps by default will install themselves or lots of info about them on the 1gb System Storage... And that translates to running out of space almost instantly if I start installing apps...
Perhaps the Root option could help alleviate some of this space constriction by forcing all apps to install in the Internal storage and leave the System storage completely alone?
