[Q] Galaxy SL(i9003) out of space problem whereas 1.8gb left. - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Friends,
I'm facing an unusual problem regarding my Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 android phone. I updated it from Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDKP1 two months ago & it was working perfectly.
Now, the problem is that whenever I install any kind of app, it says "Out Of Space" & two options named "Manage Applications" n "Cancel" appear on screen whereas the space is 1.8 GB left & used space is only 65 MB, I've only installed 3 apps in it!!!!!!
The whole 4 GB phone memory is divided into 3 sections. One is "Internal SD card(1.5 GB)(now in android 2.3.6, it is called USB Storage, i don't know why)", second is "Internal Storage(1.8GB, where the apps are installed & in which I'm facing problem)" and the 3rd is memory for "Contacts & Messaging (around 72-74 MB).
I also did a factory reset where you wipe all the phone data from Recovery menu(Volume up button+Home button+Power button), and also wiped cache. After factory reset, I installed 3 apps & got "Out of space" on 4th one.
Whereas after updating to 2.3.6, I installed numerous apps(around 80-90) and no problem came up till 2 months, but I don't know what is happening now..... Also, I'm not on any kind of custom ROM or recovery.
Please, help me guys, pleaseee......

If you've tried factory reset and it hasn't worked then take it to a service center..
Make sure you find out which is the current Indian gb version (the latest Indian firmware is ddkp3, but these service centers don't usually have updated info) and flash that, before u take it to the service Centre..

[Q] Camera not running at all - Turn off usb storage to use camera

Guys
I am very dissapointed with the galaxy s that I recently bought from singapore. It doesnt have international warranty, which is kind of awkward. Next, I am not able to
1. use the camera (always getting msg - Turn off USB storage to use camera)
2. not able to use Internal 16 gb memory as it says (Internal SD card - total space: unavailable, avialable space: unavailable) - I somehow managed it work once though by removing the battery and setting to factory settings. Then the camera also started to work. However, when I restart the phone it went back to "unavailable - internal and external memory" again. camera is complaining to turn off usb storage to use it.
3. not able to make use of external memory as mount sd card and format sd card are grayed out and total space/available spaces are showing as unavailable)
I am currently on Factory rom with following specifications.
Baseband Version I9000DXJPB,
Firware Version - 2.2;
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root-at-SE-S604 #1;
Build Number : FROYO.DXJPE
I have been searching on net for solutions but not been successfull yet. Can anyone please help as I am getting very emotional about the money I spent on it. I will be very thankful to the brainy people out there who can resolve my Galaxy S issues. I dont want to loose such a wonderful mobile because of the above petty issues. Samsung helpdesk at NZ are not responding for some reason and same as the singapore samsung helpdesk.
Thanks in advance

I have the same Problem as vbrsekhar have...
& i have a samsung Vibrant...
Please somebody help us...!!
Did you try mounting your SD card. Format SD card should be greyed out if SD card is mounted.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
step one get odin
step 2 visit the vibrant fourms as this is a galaxy s 4g not the vibrant
step 3 download a odin stock rom (pre rooted or not) that has the pitt file
step 4 re parttion and flash
step 5 use phone as intended
Ask in the vibrant section or I9000 we have never seen. This problem because we don't have the same hardware
sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
Or try to buy another i9000 camera unit and install it in again to your unit

I was just googling in order to find the ways to solve this problem.
Every time I push on camera icon the phone asks me to turn off USB before i want
to use the camera.I have done this 100 times but this doesn't solve my problem.
The second problem is that the phone does not find the sd card!
I am sure that this has nothing to do with sd card,coz the sd card is ok (I have changed 3 different cards already)
Model number I9000
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9000XXJVQ

The phone is having those problems since several months.It belongs to my dad who could not solve the problem and bought an Iphone 4
Nevertheless I am trying to fix this and flashed Darkyrom 10.2 today.(the phone has had Darky'srom 5.2,which I flashed in October 2010)
Model number I9000

Seriously guys.... raver just posted how to fix TWICE.... and you're in the WRONG FORUM for the 8th time.

Installed some apps, now storage is full - is Apps2SD working?

Hello,
after installing some apps (not really many apps) I got the error, that there's no storage/RAM left when trying to install another app from the Market
So I was wondering if there's any possibility to install Apps2SD+ to my HTC Sensation running on Revolution HD 2.1.0?
I've searched the Sensation-forum for Apps2SD, but unfortunately I found nothing...
I would really appreciate any help from you guys!
Best regards
cool400
go to settings>applications>manage applications>go through the apps and cliack on each one>if available click move application to sd card>profit
IDK why you are getting this because even if you installed a "few" apps you whould not be able to fill the 1+ gig for app storage
I'm running the stock 2.3.3 ROM, but I have seen that message one time, even though there was over 500MB free on the internal storage. Going into Manage applications showed lots of space.
A reboot solved it.. haven't seen it again.

or this should work
Okay, unfortunately a reboot hasn't solved this problem :-(
This is what I figured out until now:
1) Under "Applications/Manage applications" I can see that there is 805MB of storage available, while 368MB is used
2) Under "SD & phone storage" I also see 805MB "Available space" - but I'm not able to choose "Make more space"! I get an error saying "Unable to find an activity to handle this action"
3) When trying to install ANY app from the market I get the error "Error downloading (app-name). There is insufficent space on the device."
Any other tips?
:-(
Full wipe (/data /system) and reflash with the newest version of Mike's (3.0). Should fix the issue and be a bit more smooth.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 7" not deleting files. Please Help

I hope someone can help.
My Tab (GT1000 - UK) was fine running Android 2.3.3(not rooted) until a few days ago. I started getting "force closing" on the apps but not all of them.
When I rebooted and it was starting ,it immediately "force closed" only 2 apps.
I reloaded 2.3.3 no difference. I loaded 2.2 and it was even worse. Everything force closed.
I followed most of the software guides on upgrading and rooting but nothing seems to help. I used different file managing software and this would delete it, but after a reboot IT'S BACK!
To me it seems like the internal memory(16GB) is locked. I did all the mounting/unmounting and formatting possible...when i rebooted it was back on the internal memory.
I checked the Tab files on my PC and they are all read only files and those ones on the internal drive(which cannot be deleted) are always there and those are the apps that are "force closing".
I seriously tried all I can think of...TAB recovery mode formats/deleting cache and even special drive management software on my pc...it doesn't help. Because when I reboot it's back on the internal drive...even though it showed that it was clear after a pc format. After formatting using the Tab settings option it will refresh and be there again.
Hope this makes sense to some genius out there.
Thanks in advance
Any update
I am having the same issue, was your problem ever solved?
Yes. I sent it back to Samsung. They fixed it for free

Wi-fi, Memory and Camera Problems after rooting and Installing ICS

Hi guys,
I rooted my Galaxy S II recently and flashed the ROM with ICS - Resurrection_Remix_ics_V2.6.1_AOKP-M6_GT-9100 . After that I am facing problems in Wi-fi . It doesn't turn on and shows me a continuous message that "Turning Wi-fi On" ... nothing happens afterwards.
Apart of that I can't see full internal memory which i used to see as 16 GB when i had Gingerbread . It shows me 2 GB now. I also tried "wipe dalvik cache" but nothing happened . and third thing which I noticed that when I switch on my Camera it asks me for SD card . it doesn’t work for internal memory as it used to work previously.
Please help or suggest if I can overcome these problems.
thnx
Don't post this sort of question in here mate.
Post it in the Q&A forum for your device - that way you are much more likely to get a suitable response from other people who use the same device as you.

[Q] 0.00B Available Storage

Right so I'm in a little bit of a pickle here.
I'll start from the top, a while back my friend game me his Thrill 4G p925 (Which for all intents and purposes seems to be the exact same as the p920). He attempted to root it and ended up bricking it and he wanted me to fix it, after a lot of tinkering I took a break, now after coming back to it I have gotten it out of the bootloop and it is now able to start up fine, with a couple problems. The first of which is that CWM repeatedly restarts every second or so when it is opened, so I can't do any tinkering there. And the second problem that has me completely stumped has to do with the internal phone storage. In storage settings the internal sd card displays 5.57GB as total space and 5.57GB as available space but the internal phone storage shows 0.00B of available space. I am completely unable to install any applications or try to do any tinkering to get the recovery working as I immediately get shut down by something saying there's insufficient storage space on the device. Would anyone be able to help me resolve this issue? I would upload a screencap to show what I mean but XDA won't let me post outside links on my thread yet.

I have almost the same problem. I used rom manager on rooted LG P920 optimus 3D with official Android 2.3.5 to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in recovery mode with success. When I was prompted to reboot system now, I did, but when my phone turned on, in Settings-->SD card and phone storage says "Internal phone storage: Available space 0.00B". I can't install anything either and my phone keeps saying something like "not enough free space, clean up your data and try again". How can I fix this? Can I use the link that you mentioned? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037287&nocache=1
Thanks in advance
I got the same issue when i installed Cyanogenmod nightly rom .. so what i did was wiped cache/delvik cache and factory reset . then i wiped system and internal sd card . then reflashed the rom but after 2 days it was the same issue. then i download the best of all Kings 3D rom v2.3 and redid the above steps and flashed this wonderful rom. my phone has been working awesome since then.
