Have you tried gl to sd?
It'll move some data (like game data) to your SD card and clear up some space.
I literally just got the low memory popup and used it and it cleared up a bit of data for me
thanks for the tip but it didn't work very well for me I'm still getting the error. I did full formats

Are you rooted? Because apps only install to your internal memory. If you are rooted you can uninstall all the crap stuff that you don't use, of I believe there is a way to make your external swap with the internal memory. But I believe you have to be rooted. I rooted mine and just uninstalled all the crap. Haven't run into any memory problems after that. Hope this helps.

I've had a recurring problem with running out of internal storage space. I've moved all apps that I possibly can over to my SD card, cleared the cache using CacheMate, and uninstalled most of the bloatware that came with the phone as well as any apps I didn't need that weren't on my SD card already and couldn't be moved. The other times that I've gotten this error, I've been able to uninstall enough stuff to make the notification go away but this time I can't seem to free up enough space.
I noticed that this error/notification occurs when my apps attempt to automatically update. For some reason this eats up my internal storage space even if the apps are installed on the SD card. Also, Market won't let me install any apps, even if they're installed to the SD card. Finally, when I get this error, my Gmail app stops working. It won't retrieve new mail at all.
Any ideas what is eating up so much of my internal storage space and how I can fix it??
Rooted then huh? market search "fota fix" by Matt Henry. Will set you up

Yes, my phone is rooted and running the Octane V3 ROM. I tried installing Fota Fix and I can't install it because there's insufficient space (I have 31mb free on internal memory and about 4gb on the sd card, yet it still gives me this error). lol...this is such an annoying problem.

Classic. Octane v3 already has the fota fix. How many apps do you have?

Hello
I have installed CyanogenMod 7 on my Galaxy Ace then downloaded all the apps I had when I was using the stock ROM. Then, I moved all the apps one by one to the SD card (which I could not do with the stock ROM) and yet I have LESS internal memory that I used to have.
Why? What can I do?
Thanks
There are more advanced options, but to start out you might want to try clearing all app caches.
If that still doesn't free up enough space, you can try out link2sd

I use Link2sd clean all app caches with one click!
Thanks to both of you. I downloaded Link2SD and emptied all the apps cache but it was only a total of 1.14MB. So that won't do it.
What is the "Delvik Cache"? Could that help?
Clearing the dalvik cache does nothing, as Android will simply rebuild it after a reboot.
However, since you've installed link2sd, you might as well use its primary function: to move apps to an SD card partition
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
Ok so I've managed to move all apps to the SD card with link2sd instead of the built in way and gained a little space (about 10 MB). I guess that's the best I can have for now :S
Moving apps to the SD card won't really free up space. There is a designated amount of unusable memory specifically for apps. On some phones it is as much as 2GB. So even if you have ZERO apps, that 2gb will still not be available. You are actually doing more harm than good. The apps you move to your SD card will not run as well.
im also noob on this kind of matter so i thanks people who helped coz i too have a CM7 on my xperia x10 mini pro with low internal memory
what i did to solve the low memory is that i made a partition on my sd card which is sd-ext4 and activated A2SD on Settings>CMsettings>performance>a2sd
they say it tricked my phone of having more internal memory than its actual size, and every time i install apps it automatically gets in my SD
Is that good?

Thanks for this tip! I did pretty much the same thing and it's working great! I have 1 gb just for my apps and my phone thinks it's internal memory so the apps all work like they should (with widgets and all)
I want to know if i can change the internal sd card for a bigger one because i have a extra 16gb sd is it possible to change??

Do you mean use the 16gb instead of internal memory?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium
The internal SD card is not removable
No i mean the internal sd the one inside the phone it only has 2gb.i once had a hd2 and changed the internal sd for a bigger one so i though i could do the same with this phone. Is it possible??
Or mount the 16gb as internal.

I really don't know about that but what I did was just change my download path to the external_sd within whatever app I was downloading from

Erm, the phone has built in memory, and then expandable memory from the microSD slot. Use a larger microSD and install your apps or transfer whatever media you have to that instead of the internal memory. You can also set your camera to save images to the microSD instead of the phone's internal memory.
The games install by default to internal sd and i don't have space for games only one fits and can't dl. Eny more that's my biggest problem and cant make the games install the data to external sd.

if you flash the cm7 port your external sd will be in your sdcard path like normal, and internal will be under an emmc folder instead. as far as i know thats your only option
We(tfq) are working on separating the sdcard and external sdcard like in cm7...it'll be emmc for internal ans sdcard for external SD
It does take time so waiting is crucial we are working on a lot of stuff for you guys

Had a similar issue before and I had to wipe internal sd in recovery and it was fixed. Don't know what screwed it.

I have a Galaxy S2 and S3. My S2 only has 2gb of allocated memory dedicated for apps and all the other memory is partitioned to a the SD Card by default (not the ext SD Card). This is annoying because 2GB gets used up very quick when installing apps and the phone will reboot and perform poorly when the 2gb is used up. I don’t like having the SD Card storage. If I want more storage I can simply add a ext SD card. Is there any way to adjust like my S3 where by default all the integrated storage is listed under Device memory?
Iv seen and tried this fixes link2sd but this was too unstable and had issues after reboot with some of the apps.
I am rooted and would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.
Lol what kind of crap do you put on your phone?
What I'm getting here is that you want more space allocated to internal stage for apps, right?
The only way to do that is to use apps2sd. Even then, you're not increasing the internal memory, just moving the app onto sd storage

It seems like he means the 2gb gets used up. The internal SD is about 11.25 GB no? All he's gotta do is move them from the 2gb partition to the internal SD partition.

Go into app storage and go to the "move to sd section". And check off your large apps and they will be moved to the internal SD.
