Memory low due to low app space? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

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?

Did you try apps2sd or link2sd?

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?

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!

I wanna root but is it a waste?

I have a LG Optimus T(P509) with t-mobile & I know when rooting wha the basic features are but there not that great to me because over locking seems dangerous, disabling ads not a big deal, & they say grant super user access but besides make back-ups & moving apps & cache to sd card. Is there anything GOOD thts worth rooting?

YES! Rooting allows you to usually load custom themes on your phone! Usually (at least with the Droid X) you cannot easily load custom themes and modify any part of the android OS or apps without having root access...
that's my take anyways... The ability to re-theme, remove unwanted software, and add apps with better functionality is almost always worth it. If you don't do a lot of tinkering with your phone.. I recommend not to root, as it can cause problems if not used wisely.
Also rooting allows you to upgrade to roms that might not be available for your phone. Said roms can improve phone speed and cpu accessibility and if you know what you're doing will allow you to install radios that can greatly improve signal strength

Thnx for the replies but I think I will NOT root for now. Mostly because of fear. I'm not a noob at software or a genius but like I've jailbroken my ipt2g on every firmware up to 4.0 & like I know some of the crashing problems tht u sometimes encounter with that & I don't wanna deal with tht with my phone cuz a phon is more important than a ipod. But thnx for the replys tho. I'm still going think on it tho

I think the Z4 root app will work on the optimus-t. Its pretty fool proof as long as you know how to download an app and press a button .
I say you root and decide if its worth it. Thats the only way to know.

Internal sd memory?

I was looking at the phones memory and saw there was an internal sd which said 13g then theres external which i havent put in ten theres phone storage which shows i think about 1g. How can i use the internal 13g also says i can unmount it for safe removel. I dont see anything i can remove. Thanks for any info about this.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The internal SD card is not removable. You can store data on it like your photos and videos or documents, but very few apps will install to it. Until we get Froyo there's no way to move apps to SD cards
It's referring to "ejecting" it from your computer before you stop usb connectivity on your phone.

Thanks for the fast replys. I read somewhere that were getting the 2.2 update. Just dont know when. Thanks again

I've got 2.2
Get the Phoenix Rising ROM.
I've never messed around with flashing ROMs or anything, but Samsung isn't going to release 2.2 any time soon, so I figured it out, and I'm glad I did.
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been at work all night.

Insufficient Space problem

I'm not entirely sure what is going on. But whenever I try and download this one specific app (samurai vengeance) it says I have insufficient space on my card. I know this to be untrue. I have tons of space left. Over 1 gig alone in the program and close to 11 gigs in my internal. What's going on and how can I fix it? Any suggestions would be beautiful. I'm afraid this may carry over to other apps I want to install as well.
*Edit: I am running Infused 1.5.3 and the community kernal that comes with it. I partitioned my SD card a while ago but did a factory reset (not sure if that removes the partition or not). Thought that info may be helpful.

I am having the exact same problem! And it wasn't just that application. I ran into two instances of this same occurrence in the market. It is borderline frustrating.
I'm also running Infused 1.5.3 and the community kernal v8, both of which have been treating me phenomenally thanks to gtg's hard work. Anybody have any thoughts on this? I never partitioned my SD in any way, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I'm starting to wonder if I should take it back to stock and just start all over. But I'd rather not.

Any way you could give it a shot for us just for the heck of it and let us know if you're still experiencing the same issue? I would like to know if I need to change roms or not. I'm missing out on a few good apps!
It's not the rom. It's something with the new market.

Sorry, I just saw this post. Looks like it's related to the new market from what i'm hearing? Hope they fix this soon.
EDIT: Yup...downloaded angry birds rio just fine...went to download seasons and "insufficient space". I uninstalled the updated market and then downloaded angry birds seasons, tikl, mafia wars, and paper toss just fine.

It has to do with the cache size of the new market or that's what I've heard. The way to solve it is to go into applications -> market -> clear cache/data -> restart phone. And you should be able to download whatever you are trying to download again. But once your cache for the market fills up you have to do it again. Annoying I know, but at least it works.
i got this error today! and for the first time ever. i had just wiped and reflashed up my phone. it was plants vs zombies, a huge file, and i already have about 300 apps, all on my phone, not the sd card. so i thought i actually had a problem. but im using only half my phone storage, so i went back and tried it again and it worked fine. installed a few more apps after that too. dunno why. but yeah.
Thanks for all of the replies guys! This clears it up a whole bunch. Before I even thought about trying the old market I actually set my app downloads to go to my internal instead of the default 2 gig partitioned section. This helped me download more, but didn't solve everything. Now that I know it's the new market, it makes everything go down easier. I love these forums and I love the infuse. Keep up the good work.

No.
Unless you have a hand so steady that your room for error is down to the nanometer.

you can move all the bloatware on the phone to an sdcard if you have a big sdcard and your rooted so it clears up memory but to expand it i would say no

I don't know why you'd need that level of precision. I do surface mount soldering by hand all the time, and BGA re-work with hot air or IR at work. It's no longer exclusively the stuff of billion dollar companies. The act of desoldering a chip and soldering another one in its place would probably be the easy part.
Why do you need more internal storage Rockerboy? Get an SDcard.
I do got an sd card 16gb but some appz cant go on sd card nd my internal memory is running out.

To do this you need two things.
1) A SOLDERING STATION, not just a soldering iron
2) god-like steady hands. <--- Might as well be a Marine Sniper
As far as I am concerned the memory controller (ala Northbridge.) should be able to recognize and compensate for a increase in memory as if it were a regular ram upgrade on a PC. As long as we aren't talking hundreds of gigs increase it should work fine, no?
This is not feasible for you to do on your own. If you have to ask, you can't do it. WTF do you have installed that takes up 500MB that can't be moved? there's only a handful of apps that can't be moved.
Wow, 500MB full? That seems unlikely if you've moved every app you can to your SD card and cleared your caches.
I haven't tried it on the Sidekick, but if you're running a custom ROM have you looked at using CustomMTD? That would free up some space (I use it on my G1)
CustomMTD is designed for HTC phones that use the MTD filesystem, rather than the RFS or EXT4 partitions used by our phones. That said, with some hacking/modding it would be possible to get something similar working on our phones, but I'm not the person to work on such a project.

Xda app keeps disappearing

My xda premium app keeps disappearing for some reason maybe its AT&T uninstalling it. Is anyone else having the same issue? I'm currently on non rooted stock rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Lol no att is not uninstalling it. By ut keeps disapearing what exactly do u mean you know there is more then 1 home screen right? Is it possible it on one of your other home screens? Did u open the app drawer and scroll through your apps and not see it as well?
I've had this happen myself the past few days ever since I started messing around with some roms. For me, I'd go to click on the app shortcut and it would say it doesn't exist. I'd have to go back into Market and reinstall. Very odd issue and its happened around 3 times.
The last time it happened was when I went back to stock like I am now. I am still rooted though.

Nope. Just had this issue pop up again after I did a nand restore from stock. I couldn't access the app, it no longer showed anywhere on the phone (/system/app, Applications, etc.) and yet the Market showed it was installed. I ended up having to install the free app and then uninstall that to then reinstall the premium one.
Not had an issue like this with any other app.
