Uninstall the apps you won't use from system, use memory card as internal storage to get some more memory. Try cleaning Google Play service it could provide upto 500mb of memory.

what, really. Only 1gigs out of 5gigs is usable which already gets full in only 2-3 apps. Now I've given up and started using mem card internal storage. And I'm going to buy a new card but it will be slower than the inbuilt emmc storage.

Hi,
I actually picked the S2 over the Sensation because of the slightly higher specs and the fact that phone has 16gb internal memory. Being new to android (switch from iPhone) I really don't get what device memory is and why it's filling up so fast. I have barely installed 5 tiny apps and already 140Mb out of the 1.97Gb has already been used. I installed loads of apps on my iPhone and I intend to do that same on my new one so could someone please explain this concept of device memory and what exactly is stored in there. Also, if I run out of device memory, how do I free it up or increase the 1.97Gb limit?
2GB /data rest as internal sd card, system partition, cache, etc.
You can move apps to sd card if the data partition is full.

Relax, there's plenty of space. I've more than 80 apps installed, and they uses 664MB, so around 240 apps before memory is filled up... Remember that large games like Gameloft games installs their main data on the 12GB partition. And there is also a possibility to move most of the apps to that area as well, but it is unlikely that you need that.
The 140MB used on your phone probably includes some pre-installed apps.
Phew! That's big relief... Thanks so much. Just one last small doubt, I realized that only some apps are allow to be moved to the SD card while others like facebook have the this option greyed out. Why is this exactly?
some apps have the ability to be moved to sd card while others dont due to the way they are built..
can use device internal memory to store app data?
guys is it possible to use the device internal memory (1.9gb) to store app data in absence of internal and external SD card? my camera/apps don't run in absence of the SD card any way to get around this by using the the device internal memory? ( i have 1.5gb free after installation of all the necessarily apps)
galaxy s2 have 2gb space for only apps.....if the apps occupied total 2gb memory of that space...then where the other apps can be installed......???
is there any method for removing that apps installation limit guys.....??????
That's what the sd card is for. Bigger applications/games utilize the sd card to store their files.

no bro........whats my question is breaking the certain limit of apps installation..........because many apps not supporting apps2sd that i hav installed....some apps can be moved to sd they are moving to external sd card instead of internal memory....
so i am getting huge bootloops when sd card inserted...if i removed it phone is normal....
Use titanium backup if your rooted and long press on any app that's not apps2sd by default then you should be able to move them to your SD card
Not sure if I've ever heard of anyone using up all the 2gb with apps. I have about 150 user apps and still have over 1gb left.
That's because app data for large apps is stored on the SD card, for example with gameloft games which on their own can be over 2gb (like 9mm). Only a few MB (the actual app) goes against the 2gb partition.

I have installed also about 150 apps and have used 1.4/2 GB for apps and my sd card is 5.6/11.5 GB. I'm wondering if buying a removable micro sd card will it increase my app storage limit to above 2GB?

Nah it wont. The 2gb for apps is part of the internal memory and is set. You can however move apps to SD with titanium and others. I pretty much ran out of internal SD (the 11.5gb part) due to gameloft game data. But then I installed 'gl to sd' from the market. It allows you to move game data files to external sd card. 9mm itself frees up 2.2gb from the internal sd.

hey all,
just wondering what's the difference between using the "phone memory (1.8gb)" vs "internal storage(25gb)" for apps?
i'm new to this phone (just arrived in the post this morning), and didn't realise the internal storage would be divided in this way.
to be honest 2gb for apps is still plenty really
so am i better off keeping all my apps on that 1.8gb section, or should i try moving them to the 25gb storage?
While u still have some free space in phone memory (internal) let the android decides. I still have 900mB in the internal but some of my games are installed in internal storage (sd card)

I guess, there is no harm in utilizing your 28GB internal memory and freeing your 1.8GB phone memory...
I'm moving every APPs to internal memory whenever they are possible...

Should be fine if you install everything in your internal memory, games that take up a lot of space can go to external to free internal memory. Be aware that some apps don't behave well when they are in the external memory.
On the applications page on my phone, it says there is 1.4GB free of internal storage, yet when I plug it into my PC it says there is only 5.45mb. I can't install any app's even though I have deleted about 150mb worth of apps...
Help would be appreciated!
I noticed on mine that under Settings->Apps it indicates 1.6gb free for internal, but on the PC is indicates 10GB free. I am assuming only a certain amount of internal space is made available for apps? Of course a workaround is sliding in an SD card, but there has to be a better answer!

How can I move some apps to the SD Card?
On the Samsung I moved from, you could move a lot of the apps to the SD Card, which helped with saving space. But on the Sony, none of these same apps show an option to move them to the SD card under the Apps settings.
You have 256gb of internal storage, right?
How could run out of internal storage with an SD card too?
Apps and download folder(and maybe the dcim folder) goes on internal memory.
All critical data goes on the SD card, the data drive.
Otherwise you will cause issues...

You can do this on the older Samsung phones with a lot of the apps. You can move the installation to the SD Card. I had lots that I'd moved on the last Samsung I had, never had any issues.
At the moement, I've used 43GB of internal storage and I haven't finished installing all the apps I use yet, or any games.

That's all apps? Leave at least 10% headroom on the internal memory.
I can't understand how you used up so much storage space.

It's new, no data/photos/music/videos on the internal storage.
Apps are currently 18GB. The rest is System - 25GB.

What's the internal memory size?
All my apps and system are using less than 100gb. I'm still running on Android 9, no scoped storage so that helps.

That should be more than enough even with scoped storage unless you got social media app hogs, ditch that trashware!

You see what's using the space up. Social media apps are malware. If you must you them, sales or banking apps use browser login only through good browser like Brave.
The space they are hogging has better uses...
You can move (moveable) apps to MicroSD Card only if the OEM supports that feature, which is very unlikely for a Samsung or Sony flagship due performance reasons. It requires you to format the MicroSD Card as internal aka Adoptable Storage.
If you don't have this option, you can try from cmd line.

So you got have around 150gb of free space on internal, right? Lol, unless Sony has more bloatware than Samsung which be hard to do
