As the topic says how much free memory are you guys seeing on a fresh reboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
You have to be specific. In running services I got ~200mb, while in task manager built into the phone I got ~150mb. They calculate dumb and hid the really usage. Because you free it up but as soon as you lock the screen it uses the memory again.

this is from the developers of atk they did give me new one but I don't have the option of attaching the file from my phone
BTW:Froyo doesn't allow killing current running apps or services, it means that there isn't any app can do that in the market. We are trying to break this rule out. But for now we still cannot find any solution. Maybe we can open system settings in ATK and let users manually kill current running apps and services. Does this solution sounds fine for you? If you have any idea about this, feel free to let me know.

I concur. With 2.1 I always had one running because without after 24 hours my phone would be super laggy. After flashing froyo I decided to run without it and its been perfect. No matter what I do there always seems to be at least 90mb of free memory.

My point was people keep installing and cooking it into roms and it doesn't even work in 2.2 so yes you don't need it

Do you guys remember the droid 2 I found a while back? I installed GB 2.3.3 on it and was thinking of using it as a mobile minipc so to speak. wifi only. It has 16gb internal total memory and storage. It's blank.. don't know what happened to it there is no number to call whatsoever. So I wiped it clean and loaded gb 2.3.3 on it for fun browsing at home and hotspots. Is there an app for permanent flight mode too? I foind it very useful in saving battery and using only the wifi feature on it.
edit: ooops wrong section. please move.
What do you meen by is it good enough?

Guys please let me know honestly if its a pain due to small app space on vibrant 4g...
I'm about to trade my vibrant and pay and pay additional $100 on top of that for a vibrant 4g.... is that a good deal or not forth it?
Because on my vibrant 3g I never get low memory because I have dedicated 2gb of app space...
Thanx

If your rooted and have deleted all the bloatware and done the fota fix you should have about 350mb internal memory for apps. Use link2sd or apps2sd to have movable apps installed on your SD card and you should never have any space issues.

yeah that happens to me too. if you are rooted you can also clear up your cache via recovery as well as deleting all that bloatware with Titanium back if you dont wanna do it through terminal emulator, which the SGS4g has alot.....
So the only way to move apps to sd is to root?

I've rooted my device Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile and I am using task killer, but still having issues with the memory.
Anyone have a solution to the lagging problem?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Vibrant plus 100 is steep man... Think it over. Vibrants still go for about 200-250. Sell that then use the money plus the extra hundred you were about to spend and grab a Sensation or something. I see a lot of new Sensations for about 300-350 on CL.
Good luck.

If you use custom rom or root and delete fota files you will get about 300MB left on your phone. Theres also the option to move some app to 16GB sd card (most will suport this feature, but some don't).
OK guys I tried all the app2sd apps in the market... all of them show 0 movable apps... so please help me out with this: is there a one click root apparently for this phone? And where can I download it... and which files are safe to remove and how do I remove them... I'm new to rooting and u would need to break it down like to an infant... I only plan on removing all the bloatware crap... this phone has way too much of it!

If they are move then back to internal storage, there is plenty on this device do shouldn't be a problem, if not pass

Well I assume it's a bug as I also had this problem, but with this device there is loads of internal memory, so no real need to locate any applications on the sd card, unless they are massive.

Hello all,
I keep getting a notification from the market about a recommended app called POPS.
I don't want it and can't for the life of me figure out how to disable market recommendations.
Any help?

Market doesn't recommend apps on your notification shade? Possible virus or dodgy app

You're getting adverts in your notification bar? Sounds like you have Airpush on your phone. It gives devs the ability to send adverts and recommendations to your phone. Use this app to scan for Airpush and remove it...

It is in the notification area but I don't want it at all since I can't even get rid of the notification without tapping it and following it to the market...

Remember to rate affected apps with a single star and mark it as defective / malware to make sure the devs understand your opinion on that kind of ads...

I tried it and it did find one App that was using the push ads (Kona's Crate), so I removed it. But the recommendation is back now, so I guess it wasn't that.
Any other suggestions?
Next step would be to install Lookout Mobile Security. I use it, and the free version can scan your phone for all dodgy apps, malware, spyware etc. and will scan new downloads to stop it happening again. It also has tracking and wiping features should you loose your phone. Unlike certain antivirus apps though, it does not hog resources too much or drain your battery.
I have gone for the premium version, which adds real-time virus protection when using the stock web browser. The free version should serve your needs for now though. Put it on and run a scan. See what turns up.
The only downside to this app (and it's only a small niggle) is that after a new download from the market, the phone may lag a bit for a few seconds whilst Lookout scans it. That's it.
