[Q] [Lollipop] Free internal drive space and other issues - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
first of all, I just get myself official update to Lollipop.
1. I have N5 16GB as my daily use device and I wonder: is 12,5 GB internal space for user a correct amount? Hadn't I got much more on KitKat?
Also maybe you can help me on few other things bothering me on version 5:
2. Is there any way to add "restart" command to power button menu?
3. I cannot see "Gallery" app - what is the fastest and easiest way to get to my camera folder? Only via camera app itself?
4. How can I block some apps activities like Dialer to use localization. Before I was using Xposed module for that
5. Does A5 include standard SMS app or Hangout is my only choice?
Thanks in advance!

Hi again guys,
I managed to find some answers for my own, but I got stuck here:

Also one more issue:
5. Can you please recomend any app to stop some apps from starting just after boot? Some autostart, boot manager etc? App Ops have this feature inside, but not working at all.

Xperia L's Storage Problem ?

Hi guys !
I ( along with lots of other users ) am facing a big problem with Xperia L. There's some kind of memory leak with the device.
The default storage space for appsdata is 1.57 GB. However, for some unknown reason, the free space & appsdata does not add up to 1.57 GB
This problem is not just restricted to me. A lot of users are also facing this problem. The problem is temporarily solved by factory reset, but it reoccurs again after some time.
I have attached two screenshots.( took a screenshot when i encountered this problem first time & ALSO, took a screenshot after factory reset when i still had this problem )
Sony staff hasn't yet responded to this problem in this thread despite the fact that it was first reported about a month ago !!
( Google this " Xperia L issues" & click on the first link. [ can't post the link as i am a new user } )
me too
i am also facing d same problem. had done factory reset..still it persists..i dont know whether it is due to the latest update..photo quality also reduced after the latest update
I have these for a week now though not sum up the total storage but it never came down so far

I'd also experienced this issue
try this method, it's work.
you need a rooted phone to run this app Download
Install and Open Menu>Batch Actions>Scroll to Manipulate data>Run clear cache for user & system apps>Tick check
Reboot your phone
Check your storage again
Other app doesn't work like clean master because those apps no longer have access to clear cache for system apps. :good:
Temporal solution is to turn off Walkman app n settings and not to install Spotify, because these players cause the problem. I don't know if the other music apps do the same, I didn't check it.

I tried turning off walkman app, but that didn't work for me. & i don't have spotify installed :/
When you turn off the app it stops the memory sucking, it doesn't give you the memory back. It just prevents further consumption.

ahh.. I didn't know that..
I have a small ( probably silly ) doubt here : when i went to Settings>apps to force stop the walkman app, i noticed there were 2 walkman apps in the all apps tab( one was 140 kb & other was 4 mb approx. ). Which one should i force stop ??
Should i do this every time i switch on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.
Don't force stop them, turn them off, it's the button to the right of force close button. And to be sure, turn off both Walkman apps, one of them is music visualisation.

no need to force stop walkman or album..just stop using chrome..use other browsers like opera or firefox..then the internal memory wont decrease..also dont use official facebook app..:

dont forget deleted file cache wechat,album cache
for this kind of operation I like Link2SD, go to the "more" menu in the bottom and select "clean cache"...
another good is "android assistant" that has clean cache too... all these are free from google play to download.

Also having this Device Memory issue
This issue has been causing me problems too.
I have done lots of testing and monitoring around it, including three full factory resets / clean installs of the latest up-to-date version of Android Jelly Bean for Xperia L (build no. 15.0.2.A.17). I've determined that I can prevent the issue by not installing/using the Spotify music app. This is bothersome for me as I rely on Spotify for my mobile music consumption.
When I install and use Spotify, the Available Device Memory space starts to reduce. It then only takes about a week for the Available memory to reach close to 0mb, with the phone error messages then appearing about not having enough memory to install updates or carry out other functions.
It's now about two or three weeks since I performed (via Sony Update on Windows) a third clean OS install because of this problem and at the moment the phone is working smoothly and its memory is staying more or less constant (without Spotify installed). I will keep monitoring device memory usage for a few more days and then install Spotify one last time. If the memory problem then re-occurs, I'll contact Spotify support (not a pleasant prospect as I've found that whenever I contact their support people they don't seem to properly read my emails but instead offer less-than-helpful pre-packaged "solutions"). I imagine they will suggest (amongst other things) another factory reset / clean install. I will probably carry that out but am not hopeful that the problem will be resolved.
There is a 22-page thread on the Xperia Care support forums about this issue with over 200 posts and more than 5000 views. If anyone else is having this problem, please read the thread and log a "Me Too" about it on the thread's first post so that Sony is kept aware of the issue and works harder on a solution. As a new XDA dev user I can't post a link to the forum thread, so search for "Device memory full in xperia L" on the Xperia Care support forums. You will need to register with Xperia Care before being able to post or log a "Me Too".
Thnx.

hi friends
i have xperia L and when i bought it , Typed on it 8GB internal storage. but in X-plore apk i saw separated 2GB as internal and 4GB as SDcard.
i bought a 16GB sdcard, but Xperia L can't move Data and Apk and ... to it. Social programs can't move video and imgages to it. so i don't use this 16GB for my files.
Why 8GB separated to 2GB and 4GB? that don't Allow system read my 16GB. why?
anybody have my problem?
what are you doing with this problem?... :crying:
thanks
The XL is partioned into 2x 4 GB. One is for system, the other for personal files. You can use Link2sd (and similar) to move apps to your sdcard1. There are also methods to swith the internal and external (micro sd) arround. (in this way you would have 4 + 16 and an 'external' sd of 4 gb)
Tapatalked that sh*t
Try ES file explorer.
ES file explorer has the option of analyzing the SD card. Use it to analyze the internal SD card and then if and when needed you can even delete the memory clog in it. It would be most probably due to cache present in your device.
I have tried it and it works. Try and let me know if it is working for you.

Using root explorer or any other file browser go to data/app-lib/ and delete your appdata folder of the application you want to install/update.
Hope I helped you!

[Q] CM11 question

Hey guys! New honor 6 user here! I flashed cm11 for l04 version. I love everything about it. I just have one problem. The default media path is set at internal storage. So whenever I receive/ download anything, it goes to internal. Eg all the whatsapp media goes to internal. So, is there any way to change it?
Also I notice that there is no "move to sdcard" option. I'm aware that it's greyed out for almost all the apps today but this rom doesn't have this option in settings.
Can anyone help me?
Install xposed framework and download2sd module. Open it once instslled activated and rebooted. Set download location to wherever you want.

ZTE Zubia 11 mini 'Notifications'
Hi folks,
My first visit here, hope someone can help. I received my Nubia 11 last week and have been setting it up. I noticed I only receive my whatsapp messages when I am actually using the phone and the app is running in the background, leave the phone for a few minutes and if someone has whatsapped me in that time I will not receive the notification unless I take the phone out of 'sleep' and check whatsapp at which point any messages will come in. I thought it was just whatsapp but then realized its any messaging emails (gmail and outlook) app. I have scoured the settings, permissions, etc but cant seem to find anything that will stop my apps going to sleep/stopping when the phone goes to sleep. Receiving any emails/messages does not wake the phone up to notify me. please help thanks

if you have the EU version of ROM you have to open task manager(long press on back softkey and swipe down on whatsapp and other app that you want to "lock" in memory. your notification will work even in sleep.
Hi
Thanks, I tried the long press, nothing happened, I guess it's not the EU version. Is there another way to open the task manager? Or lock the app? Thanks

the task manager is the recent activity screeen.it looks like this:
Ahhh... For me it was the middle button I long press. I think I've done it. I swiped down on the app and a padlock appeared I guess that means it's locked. Does that mean it's locked for good? How is it disabled? Thanks again.

Good day gentlemen, can anyone confirm if nx549j supports otg fully? I just got the phone last month and 2 days ago I got that type c to usb, but when I connect my Xbox one controller the phone freezes for ±5sec then restarts. using my flash drives, ext. HDDs... is no use either, the phone says I must format them first. However in twrp I am able to access the single partitioned drives. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi all,
so after wandering around posts and going through articles like ( i am not allowed to put the link, but you can google it`Turn notifications on or off` there is a quick guide ) , nothing changed! However, the last thing i've tried it worked, and that was to change the app, so i've uninstalled the gmail app and installed another app which support google emails `myMail`, it has similar interface, so i am not missing anything from gmail and it's working perfectly.
Best
thanks bro i am also facing same problem. but now it is solved and helps me a lot. so many users do not know about this
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9346/QZnnNkU2f { different language , chrome will translate }
This link has all the files (Main roms in the CM folder ) , including many many roms
but there is no discussion site .... so dont know about stable roms ... working fingerprints .... etc
Guys , would you you try these roms and tell me which roms are working and which are buggy.
my nubia is still on its way
