Hi,
After running Knox I realized that it takes about 1.5GB of internal memory. Is there a way to free this memory now? I don't use Knox anymore but my memory is still taken.
Thanks for help,
Igor
If you're root, uninstall it with a system apps uninstaller. If not, try to see if you can erase all data (settings--->apps---->knox---> clear data)

I recently accidentally hard-reset my xda iii. Most of data was stored on my sd card (which of course i can recover). I want to know whether it is possible to recover other data, much in the same way you would with a desktop. There were several important text messages i needed.
Is this possible or has the data gone for good?
Silly me, didn't back up in a while...
in the flash part of the memory you can as in /storage and extented rom but not the ram they work just like ram in your pc == no power no bytes no memory of last state to undelete to
Ok, so there may still be some data in the flash part. Do you know of any programs that might help me?
Thanks for your reply
A hard reset will have more than likely wiped what was stored internally.
I suggest you get a backup utility and start using it, that way, if it happens again, you will have a full backup of everything you had installed, and all of the files stored on the device.
Hello,
Infuse 4g. I uninstalled Skype (which is apparently a mistake) because when I try and reinstall it, the phone locks up, black screen, and reboots upon install. The Skype app downloads fine, but will not install with out locking up the phone. Sometimes, I get a message which states I have too little of internal storage, which is at .93GB. Does any body have any suggestions for me about how to install Skype?
The phone is rooted and I have titanium backup, which I tried to reinstall that way to, same problem, the phone locks up.
Any ideas about how to get more internal storage.
Thanks
Charles
Hmm try cleaning your /data partition or going to ics

Use tibu to move some apps to sd card?

Check threads about what you can safely remove
I use TiBu and remove youtube, maps, voice apps, news apps, and other crap. I typically try to keep 90 to 100 mb free.
Do a search for things you can safely remove.
Do a tibu backup before removing. If something goes wrong you can easily reinstall it.
well, Ive removed alot of stuff I dont use, but internal storage remains at .91 GB? This is a major drag, not having Skype really sucks. What's odd, is I used to have Skype on the phone, I uninstalled it thinking it would be no big deal to reinstall it...but it will not install. Skype downloads fine, but upon installation, it will lock up the phone everytime and I must reboot. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Thanks GoSooners, but you lost me. How do I clean my data partition?

Well you can wipe your data partition but it'll uninstall your apps and undo anything you've done with your phone. Just move some large apps to sd card. You can do that by going into settings. You shouldn't see that message unless you have less than about 200-300 mb.
I am more than satisfied with the internal storage...
I dont install much apps, just essentials, it also helps when changing roms because u dont have to install all of them everytime...

unrelated that's all on the system partition which is read only and doesn't need free space..
the free space error is a market problem and unrelated to the actual free space. some kernels have a patch for this. i dont really remember the details for fixing it manually but gtg used to have a modified market and a init.d script that fixed it but that was on an old version of the market.
if you can get a current version of the apk you can side load it with a file explorer by either clicking it and letting the install program run or by moving it to /data/app with a root file explorer.
between 1+gb data partition for apps and app data and the apps2sd feature in android and 14gb internal sd storage you shouldn't have storage issues. even if you fill the sd with rom .zips and multimedia you should still never reach the 1gb /data partition because android apps simply arent that big with the exception of a few high end games that i beleive actually install to the sdcard
.93gb is a ton of space for phone apps! but is that the internal sd or the /data partition
Thanks Dani897. If I read you correctly, you believe it's a problem with the app, and not the phone? Which is what I always thought. When I first got the phone, Skype installed fine, now it does not.
Phone Info:
Samsung I-997 Infuse, rooted
Version: Froyo
Go Launcher
Internal SD Card Storage = 8.12 GB available
External SD Card Storage = 6.8 GB available
Internal Phone Storage = .92 GB
Maybe if I could somehow get an old version of Skype, maybe that would work?
How can we format internal memory (storage)? I can't find that option on settings.

That would wipe android out. You can format /data by doing a factory reset. Just don't delete /system.
So how do you reclaim lost space? I flashed Derp3D last night and now I only have 426mb of internal storage instead of 512mb. That means 86mb is now lost to the voids.
If your objective is to restore lost space then formatting the entire data partition is a rather extreme way of doing it.
Perhaps you would be better off with one of the many cleaning tools available. SD Maid, for example, can search out and remove cache and temp files as well as identifying app data that may be safely removed. ZDbox also has a cleaning tool. If you are rooted and want to go deeper then System Cleanup is a worthy option which enables you to move updates to system apps into the system partition, thus clearing space in the data partition.
Another option is to uninstall some of the bloatware which comes with stock ROMs that you don't need.
Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5801) from past 2 years. Recently I am started experiencing memory bloat issue. I have only 30 apps installed and still I have only 20MB internal memory left. I tried clearing all unnecessary data from Application section in Settings. I also moved few apps to SD card. Still there is not increase in free internal memory. Due to this my phone's performance has drastically reduced and m quite frustrated with it
I am thinking to do a factory reset now to get back my internal memory. Can anyone suggest how much will this help in resolving the issue. Also can anyone tell me what data I will lose if I go for a factory reset. Will I lose all the apps (including Google Play, YouTube, Calculator,All Share, etc which came pre installed when I bought the phone)???
Kindly let me know if any other way exists to resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance....
Some info about factory reset...
Factory reset erases only /data and /cache - any data you stored, any apps you installed, any settings you configured WILL BE LOST.
SYSTEM apps will stay as they were.
Also, If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, you will still have 2.2 installed because /system folder doesn't get deleted when doing factory reset.
If you rooted the phone, root will STAY too.
I don't know if you're rooted, probably not as if you were, you will NOT be facing those problems
When you are rooted, you can try eg. Link2SD app (download from the play store) and move teoretically EVERY app to the sdcard.
And as I'm not an expert with this app moving stuff, maybe some other geek can help you out with this
I am using Samsung i699 (android 2.3.6) in China, They preinstalled so many suck apps. After I rooted and removed a bunch of apps including system files, and then every time when I power on, it displays "Low Storage Space there is not enough storage space available to complete this action, please clear some space and try again" Before remove some system files such as applicationsprovider, kies, kieswifi and etc... it never had any problems. So here I have 2 questions:
1 How can I resolve the issue?
2 If nobody knows, I want to restore factory default. When I press "restore factory default", it just restores my settings, or restores all the apps and systems files I deleted?
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP
further details

A further details, When I power on, if I has turned on the wlan, or or someone is calling me as soon as powen on. the phone would be ok, and nothing display on the screen. so confused
Use Titanium Backup (rooted version) or Links to Sd app from Google Play.
From these you can remove all unwanted apps (even system apps).
You can clear off some space, deleted unwanted files, clear cache and make some space for your mobile.
NOTE: BOTH APPS REQUIRE ROOT AND BEWARE TO UNINSTALL CRAPPY APPS ONLY DON'T MESS WITH THE SYSTEM CORE APPS. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
