I somehow have only 2.44 gbs of internal memory free and I can't figure out how to free more up. I used my back up pro and did a factory reset and I can't figure out whats eating The memory . I don't have many apps. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Well you may have plenty of photos and videos in there. Put in the external SD card and go to camera app options. There you should be able to choose where to save the snaps and videos.

Maybe it's leftover files from an HD game(Gameloft) they leave like 500mb or more of files behind when you uninstall them. you have to go in and delete the left over manually.

Apparently Gameloft games are so large in size they actually add weight to the phone. (500mg, joke explainer, etc.)

Is it less? Like my g2x has 8 gb internal but really only has 5.5...... Is the sensation the same?
Also does game data store on that 1gb? Like the g2x and vibrant does? thanks
From what I have seen and keep hearing its actually 4 gb with 1.05(ish) available for app installation and whatnot.
yes you get the full 1gb for apps thats the left over space for you its normally 4gb but 3 of it is reserved for the system
I have currently 866MB free memory, while using 310MB for all my current apps. This means you have a total app capacity of 1176MB on your phone's internal storage.
Of course I have a 16GB MicroSD card for my music, pics, video etc.
Hope this helps!

Not on my g2x or vibrant. Always went to the internal. Are you sure some load on the external? and is there a trick?
I got 500 mb left internally and 12 gb externally, when I try and download data thats more than whatss on my internal (500) it tells me to free memory....

yes becuase the g2x and sgs have a built in memory card its like a built in sd card in the phone formated and partionted a special way. But phones like the desire hd and g2 and htc sensation have a diffrent form of storage to store apps and system files. So it detects the apps partion and sd card so it will install the game data to the sd card.
i have 3 big gameloft games..and they all run from the SD.. i have to say the games run so smooth and look stunning especially modern combat 2 and asphalt 6 !
you can even put movies and music on g2x and sgs without a memory card that's mainly how you can tell if it will save the game data to phone. If it doesnt allow you to save media to internal phone then it will save it to sd card. Like the htc sensation

APP2sd is the app needed for this phone..but you need to root first.

not necessarily...froyo builds and above already have apps to sd built in but only for certain apps that will be allowed to run off sd. if you root and use titanium backup then you could move whatever you like to sd. one downside of this that for apps that has an option for widgets will no longer be available.

This is beyond well known info. Not all games have that option.
Hence why the thread ask about the games that don't.
And can someone answer my question?
Is there bad lag when playing media from the SD?
And yes it takes longer so don't BS.

I really want to get the charge. But with the internal space being only what 2gb. How many apps can u install before u run into problems. I know u can have a 16 gb card. But all apps u can't move to sd. Even if u do some portion is still left on the internal. Well any feedback will help me make the move thanks.
You would have to be insane to fill that much space. I have 150 user apps installed and have 700 megs free. I store all my apps internally. Also, you can get the charge for free on amazonwireless.com

Out of the 1.15gb available for apps, i have used less than half of it with lots of large games. I keep them in internal memory because it is faster than sdhc 2x.

I have the same thing when I check my storage in settings i suppose just how it is but I recommend getting storage analyzer or SD Card Maid from the playstore both are good to have I think they both can give u a more detailed look into your storage on your SD Card
The Only Sensible Way To Live Is Without Rules
look up Sdcard Maid it will clean all the junk out of your storage and fee up loads of space
also when connected to your PC look for a hidden folder called .Trash ( maynot be there i found it when running AOKP and CM ..) delete that and that should freeup some space too
System and app partitions.
~10GB is normal.
Edit: sorry, didn't notice the available.
That reported total available space is odd alright, prob just a glitch.

Also look for LOST.DIR
I think its a repository for files that are corrupt or damaged. Usually not much in here, but once or twice I found several hundred MB of stuff in this folder.
Fixed: thank you all. In mnt/sdcard/. trash
Had over 5GB of old ROMS and backups.
Whew. Thanks.

Download a file manager and start deleting what u don't need.

Download File Analyser from the play store and find out which files are hogging up the most space that aren't useful and delete.

Your phone shouldn't slow down "considerably" because of a full sd card... Are you rooted? Do u have anitivirus software? Av softwares are resource hogs and should be used temporarily and uninstalled after scans. If u are using a task killer or RAM manager, you will see adverse affects as well. What apps are running when you hold the home button to view currently running tasks?
If you still do believe it is a result of a full sd card, i like astro file manager. The stock file manager to delete sd contents should suffice though.

Also any games you don't use,uninstall them, that too take alot of space, as.videos take up a ton too.

Our internal SD has a rough 4 gb. If you want to use your External you would have to switch the points at where your apps can get downloaded to. There's a mod floating here around XDA that can exactly do that.
Have you flashed a lot? I found that oftentimes, I have a spare LOST.dir folder lying around from my previous builds! I freed up nearly 1 GB just by cleaning that alone!
