I am using the root ext2 version of apps2sd. While there is still a lot of space on my ext2, I'm also losing space on my internal memory.
I'm guessing these are certain apps. Why aren't these placed on my ext2? And is there a way to find out which apps these are and place them on the ext2 manually?

It's application data that is on the internal memory. a2sd only moves the apk, not the data.
Any chance we can move the data as well?
Sure, try symlink-ing the data to the sdcard, worst case is it won't work. There are reasons it doesn't do this already, probably slower access time and the application data doesn't use much space so it's unnecessary.
Wow its very nice .........

Could you elaborate a little bit? Not afraid to dig into google search, but I'd like to know the theory behind... waht's symlinking? how do I achieve that? Note that Firefox Mobile alone takes 15MB (app data, that is), Maps and Flash grows very fast...
I'd pay for a Partition Magic/GPartED for Android to change partition size on the fly and easily, so I could increase that space and never bother again.
Hi all,
I am using a stock ROM on my Inspire 4G. For some time now, I have been getting this message: "Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low." I do have a lot of apps installed, but I have moved every movable app larger than 1MB onto my SD card, and I have continued to get the message. Today I reached the point where I cannot even upgrade an app. I am showing 70.34MB of available space.
I have searched Market for something that would tell me what's using all my storage, but everything I found is limited to external/SD card storage. Can anyone tell me what else I can do to most effectively recover some storage? What are the most likely culprits?
Thanks!
search the android market. Diskview.
not much else you can do without root access to that partition
I could be very wrong on this, but from what I understand the internal storage is partitioned in a way that most of it is not usable for general use. I have rooted my phone and switched rooms and I still only have a little over a gig of memory on my phone for apps and such

4gb internal storage on specs and around 1gb is 'usable'.
However, OP's issue is that he's out of internal storage space. I do know that there have been issues with other devices where moving apps to sdcard still left a copy on the internal storage.
OP: Might consider doing a bit of data cleaning rather than app moving.
Even when you move apps to the SD card, it still leaves a little bit of the app in internal. So if you really have a lot of apps, you're going to have to remove something. Unless there is something else wrong. I have around 150 apps installed, with everything that can be put on SD put there, and I have around 650MB still available.
Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I've been really slow getting back to this because I've had other issues I've had to deal with. I did move absolutely every movable app onto the SD card, but it didn't help.
Wolamok, I had assumed I would have to remove some data, but what? I had about 2300 contacts, many of which were duplicates. While I was cleaning them up in Outlook, I decided to delete them ALL from my phone to see what memory I could free up.. A few contacts were repopulated from social media, but only 60 or 70. However, I 'me still out of of memory and getting notifications, and I still can't so much as upgrade an app.
I feel really stupid, because on my Pocket PCs and Windows Mobile devices, I knew exactly where to look for data and what to remove, but I feel totally lost here.
I don't even know which apps to uninstall, because I don't know which ones have left pieces around in internal memory and how much.
Any more ideas, anyone?

I forgot to mention that while I appreciated the Diskview suggestion, I can't get it to run. I don't know if you my memory is too low to even do that, but it says it's analyzing the SD card and never finishes.

Whenever you uninstall an app, be sure to clear cache and data for it first. And force stop it if that option isn't grayed out. Then there shouldn't be any remnants of it.
When you go into manage applications, you should be able to get an idea of where the most storage is being used. The amount that is listed for each app is only internal storage if you're on the "downloaded" or "all" tabs. So even if an app is on the SD card, what's listed is how much internal storage it is using.
Bottom line is, if you're hurting for storage, uninstall anything you don't really use. Even all those free Amazon games. You can always reinstall them in the future. Hope that helps to give you an idea of what's hogging storage.

Thanks a lot for the reply. By the time I saw it, I had already gotten so frustrated I had followed you advice in advance. I deleted all the apps I'd installed and was going to try out "some day"--and yes, that included all the free Amazon games I'd never played!
I was surprised to see how much space was being used by apps that supposedly were on the SD card.
I hadn't thought of clearing cache and data, and I guess I'm too late for that now, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future.
Thanks again!
I tried updating an app last night on my tablet, actual app is Hill Climb.
In the play store I was getting insufficient space available when I tried to update it. I checked my storage and had almost 1.5GB availble. What's going on? No way is the update of that size..
Also I am running AOKB milestone 1 rom. I am also about to order myself a 32GB SD card.
But can someone tell me what's up with this insufficient space error I get? I tried rebooting and it didn't seem to help.

I've had that happen a couple of times with other apps. I think it's the app and not the tablet but I have no way to prove it. I don't remember the app I had that problem with but I also had plenty of space when it happened. I just tried installing Hill Climb and it installed without a hitch. FWIW, I've googled the problem and others have had the same problem.

Thanks! Well from what I saw was is that there is apparently some sort of 'partition' for APPS? Which is not related to your overall storage, so it could depleet itself pretty quick?
I just don't know how exactly one increases this APP partition or what can be done about it? Basically the 1GB I see is meant for music/photos/videos etc.. APP installs go on a different partition all together.
Any idea about this?
I had this issue the other day, I rebooted the tab and it went away.
Turns out there is an app called APP2SD that I guess takes care of this.. going to have to look into this and see what it does.

I couldn't get it to work on my tab. My Droid X & Droid Razor Maxx both have the option to move apps to the SD card under app settings. I don't know why the Tab doesn't.
Maybe because the card is actually shown as extsdcard and the internal memory is shown as sdcard.

What do you mean? I don't even have a SD card currently installed in the device..
In a file manager if you look under mnt in the root directory you'll see an sdcard, that's the internal memory. An SD card will show up as ExtSdCard
I think the Galaxy Tab memory structure is a unified "internal memory" area which is shared by both app installations and user data. There are no separate "app" and "user data" partitions, though there is of course a separate "system" partition.
Since App2SD works by moving files from the app partition to the data partition it has no relevant function on the Galaxy Tab.
I have no idea what causes the insufficient memory errors though. This is a common problem and the cause of much frustration for many users.

Definitely NOT "unified" there is a 2.8GB partition for installing the APP apk's into then there is the internal storage of 4.59 GB (which is most likely where the OP has the 1.5 GB free).
OP- go into your application manager under settings and look at the bottom for Device Memory, it should be x.x GB of 2.8 GB (on the 8 GB models) this is most likely the area that is low on storage, as I have added less the 100 MB of apps and I have 1.8 GB used of the 2.8 GB so I imagine if you install games and stuff it would fill up real quick.
I believe there is a thread about moving apps to the "SD card" (remember in android you have 2 "sdcards" first is labeled sdcard and is actually the internal storage and second is labeled extsdcard and is your removable microsd card if you use one).

That odex file is how lucky patcher circumvents apps ads and copy protection. And yes if its there it wont let you reinstall.
Fyi Lucky Patcher isnt something id ask about around here. Its essentially an app for pirating and removing copy protection and here at xda we prefer to stay safe and legit.

If youve already uninstalled the app Lucky Patcher cant fix/remove it. You have to use a file manager and manually delete it from /data/app.

Hi!
This is related to a Galaxy Ace 2 phone, but I posted by mistake on the general forum.
It seems I can't install/update large-ish apps using Google Play and I get an error related to insufficient storage.
The problem is that I have around 170MB available internally, plus 500MB on each SD card (internal and external) and the error shows up when trying to update Swype, Google+, Google Search, etc. (all around 15-20MB).
If I uninstall some apps/games (e.g. Angry Birds, Cut the Rope) the free space goes up a bit (not much, as I keep these on the SD card) and now I'm again able to update those apps initially mentioned.
It seems just like my Ace 2 is trying to keep around 150-170MB as some sort of reserved space.
Is this normal? Should I worry that I may have a faulty phone/NAND?
I'm using the MF1 BTU ROM, stock, but I'm coming from the MB4 version in order to get the full 624MB RAM.
Thanks!
Reserved space could be system files. Overwriting those could potentially brick your system.

Yes, pretty sure. I checked it via the Storage menu in System Settings and also via Titanium Backup.
Also, I'm not using any kind of script or app like Link2SD which mounts an EXT2/3/4 partition as /data. I think this excludes the possibility that free space is being incorrectly reported (but I'm not really sure).

Hi,
This is a very commun issue with Android, it seems that the algorithm calculating free memory isn't that efficient. The best solution is to keep more than 250MB on internal memory. And if it happens, to remove one or two apps

That would indeed minimize the impact of the problem. However, not all apps support being moved to the external sdcard and some become a bit limited. In addition to that, even apps moved to the sdcard continue to use the dalvik cache on internal storage.
I have the same problem but i do clear the catch each time
First of all, sorry for my English. It is not my native language. :angel:
I'm having issues with my Redmi Note 7 Pro (rooted and running MIUI 10). I can't install any large apps from the Google Play Store or even APKs using other app stores like Qooapp or APKPure. The problem seems to pop up only when I try to install large games like Call of Duty Mobile, Vainglory, PUBG or Arena of Valor. I've been able to install other small apps and even games where the large file downloads occur INSIDE the game itself, like Dragalia Lost, Another Eden and Raid: Shadow Legends without any issues. It is only when I attempt to install a large game (usually +1gb) that I see this problem. Whenever I try installing through the Google Play Store, the download happens normally and then the installation fails silently when the download progress bar reaches 100%. And whenever I try using APKPure, for instance, I get a message saying "IO error. Not enough space available for instalation", even though I've got about 100gb of space left in my internal memory.
I've searched online and seen some people recommending clearing the cache memory of the Google Play Store app and Google Play Services, uninstalling any updates on the Google Play Store, rebooting my device, etc., since the problem could be caused by a lack of enough cache memory available to install the file, but these solutions didn't help me at all. I hope someone can help me troubleshoot and fix this issue
Thanks in advance! :good:
Was the available memory enough then?
Close any apps other than Play Store or APKPure while installing those game apps. Have a try.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, this solution didn't help either. I closed every app other than the Google Play Store and tried installing COD Mobile again. I got the same problem. The download goes up to 100% and then silently fails.
I don't know if this is relevant, but when I try installing through the Play Store, the download goes up to 100% and then fails showing a message that says "Waiting for Wi-Fi," even though I am downloading from my Wi-Fi connection already. When I tap the button to download anyway, it downloads again all the way up to 100% and then fails and gets stuck at 7%. This is very confusing
If I try installing through APKPure, it'll just show the same "Not enough space available" message.

Yes, any other small apps I've had no issues with (the Reddit and Amazon Shopping apps are a couple of examples).
And as mentioned, even games that show as a smaller-sized file on the Play Store but include a much larger download ingame (like Raid: Shadow Legends, which shows as 92mb on the Play Store but requires a 600~800mb download on startup) have worked without any issues. It's only the large apps that fail upon installation.

The large games are failing because the apps are downloaded in cache and then installed in your /data partition, not your internal storage.
It doesn't matter how much internal storage space you have, what matters is how much space your /data partition has, you don't have enough space in your /data partition to install the large apps, you also might not have enough space in your cache partition to properly download and install the apps.
The reason why the apps that download additional data inside the game are working like they should is because the apps themselves are installed in /data partition and they install just fine because you have enough space in /data partition. But the additional data that is downloaded inside the game does not install to the /data partition, it is installed/stored in your Android/data folder in your internal storage, you have plenty of internal storage so it installs without conflict.
One way to get the large apps to install is to delete some of the apps that you installed to clear some space in /data partition, if you clear enough space, you can install a large app with no issue.
Or, you can try repartitioning your device to increase the size of your /data partition.

Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting a bunch of apps and ended up getting rid of about 2gb worth of data. Unfortunately, that still didn't do the trick I could delete some more, but those are apps I'd actually like to keep.
Do you know how this repartitioning process works? Is it complicated to do? I'm a little bit scared of messing with the flash memory of the phone, it was actually a (more knowledgeable) friend of mine who rooted the phone for me. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I started looking a little bit into this and I read somewhere that perhaps getting an SD card and moving the data of some other apps from the data partition to the SD card partition might release enough space for the large apps to install without issues. Does this sound at all feasible? That would free me from having to mess with things that could potentially brick my phone.

Actually, it is possible to install your apps directly to external sdcard, the drawback to that is you sacrifice a bit of performance because running apps from external is slower than if the app was internally installed.
Another possible option is to use the Adoptable Storage option, it is designed to format your external memory as internal memory so that the device sees internal and external as one continuous "drive", so to speak. I wouldn't recommend using Adoptable Storage though because if the external sdcard gets corrupted it results in a non-working device that has to be recovered and you'll most likely lose your saved data.
Finding a mod that allows installing your apps to external is the better, safer option. It might be a bit slower than installing to internal, but it's easier to fix issues if something goes wrong.

Thanks a lot for the guidance. I'll look more into both the SD memory option and the repartitioning option and I'll post another message once I find the solution (hopefully soon). Nonetheless, I can't help but wonder what could've caused this. Is this a problem that all devices have? Or could it be linked to the rooting process?
Regardless, thanks again for the help.

I can't say for certain, things are different from one device to the next, you never know what kind of bugs are gonna happen.
Android is inconsistent, you could have different devices experiencing the same issue but they may not have the same cause. There can also be an issue that has a known solution on "this" device or "this" android version but the same solution doesn't work on "that" device or "that" android version. As they say, your mileage may vary.
Try asking in your device specific forum if there is one here for your device, or, try asking in another thread for this device that deals with rooting or a thread that deals with a similar issue to yours. You may get better answers from members that own the same device or members that have experienced the same issue.
