I installed Miren browser from the market, before that from an apk floating around on this forum. I've noticed after a while, the space used by the application becomes ridiculously high, leading to free space warnings.
At the moment, Manage Apps screen tells me the Total is 5.98MB, Application is 1.20MB and Data is 4.77MB. (Running from sd card). Why does the Data size keep increasing after a while? I've cleared history, cache, passwords, cookies, etc.
Every few weeks, I'm forced to clear the app data to clear the free space warning.
Do you have RSS feeds enabled in Miren? Usually everybody removes them, to save battery/traffic. I assume these feeds get stored somewhere, eating your space.
Looks like it, when I go to RSS feeds, I see stuff there. How do I disable it, I didn't enable it, must be turned on by default?
Hello everyone,
My sensation has been giving me a problem with internal storage. I keep getting the message "internal memory low" and it wont allow my phone to download any new email messages or visual voicemails. My phone is rooted and s-off. I have deleted apps that I dont use with titanium backup. I have even gone as far as deleting facebook, twitter and other apps that I use daily. It helped, the internal memory was around 120mb for a few days but then it dropped. I deleted all updates for the apps on the phone and it helped but then again, the memory fell back down. I am now at 90mb and I have deleted text messages, voice mails...I have deleted everything and nothing. I'm at 90mb with no apps thats I use daily, cant download emails and cant receive voicemails on my visual voice mail app. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what can I do to fix this. My phone is practically useless =/ Thanks in advance
As you have root, have a nose round /data and see what's big.
You could always take the factory reset route, that should free up the 1.1GB. If it doesn't something ain't right.
Where do I look at that?
With a file manager that supports root (I like Root Explorer, but ES File Explorer us free) and check sizes of folders.
Check the storage option in settings and make sure that it does see the full amount.
Playing a lot with my Nexus 6, I came to want to try Chrome out a bit, for a change from Firefox. And I stumbled on what I consider a very big problem.
All my browsers, I set up to clear history, cache, cookies, etc, as soon as I stop using them. Be it for pr0n, bank managing, or mere general hygiene, I just want the browser to start fresh every time I launch it (I only keep bookmarks and some selected passwords).
Now, with Chrome, there doesn't seem to be any real way to wipe all the crap when exiting the browser. So I started playing with deleting of history, recent tabs and cookie files in /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome, triggered by recent app swipe out (process stop) detection in Tasker. And it worked, for some time.
Problem, after having swiped Chrome out, deleted history files, and checked the history and recent tabs indeed seemed wiped, when tapping on the clock history icon, on the lower right part of the empty home page, then tapped on display whole history (translated from my language; YMWV). But OCD striked out, and I went back to the empty home page, to repeat the same process again. And again...
Until I ended up with the history appearing back, out of seemingly nowhere. So I wiped everything in the app itself (clear browser data), which works OK everytime. And now disconnected the phone from data before wiping the history and co files. And then went back to the history icon routine: now, without data, the history doesn't appear back. Then, I activated data anew, went on the repeated history checking, and bang: history appears right back...
So, when one tampers when Chrome history and co files, it seems Chrome restores those from the Internet, most probably from Google. Even though I set web history to off in my Google settings... Also tried History Cleaner Pro for root app, and end up with the same exact behaviour from Chrome. For what is worth, I use latest everything, factory 5.0.1, rooted, up to date Nexus 6.
Seriously: what's that crap?!?! Do you observe the same behaviour? Do you know of a way to teach hygiene to Chrome? Not sure I'll be touching the thing again though, even with a barge-pole... There may be a way to clean Chrome (would it be manually, in the app itself, which works as far as displaying information from previous sessions), but this experience tends to make me believe Chrome will save the history and all kind of crap at Google's, even if it doesn't display it anymore in the browser, even when you ask Google not to manage your history. And I surely won't have that. Back to Firefox, I am.

Well, I don't care so much about them recording what I do as about them forcefully flinging that crap back at me... that's what annoyed me. Anyway, yeah, stopped using Chrome, and won't go back to it.
I am looking for specific date on History Brower. Dates before and after appear but there is a gap. Any ideas how to restore these missing dates.

Censorship is also a quite a problem. So many search results get axed because the copyright mafia deems its infringing on their multi-billion dollar project copyrights.
Ironically, even Bing fares better than google and bing belongs to mcrosoft.
agreed. I use bing as my default search engine in browsers. As for Chrome, if OP is still interested, and their isnt an browser sync option in settings>accounts>google, you can use an app like disable services to disable com.google.chromesync.... or something along those lines. you'd have to look thru and find it in GooglePlayServices
Are people still having this issue with not being able to clear google chrome browser history on android?
If so, I found a way to clear it. I will be making a video tutorial if interest with this issue is still in demand. If so please don't hesitate in responding.
I need a software which can provide the following services:
1. Store backup data of at least past 1 year of whatsapp.
2. Formatting of entire whatapp in a couple of minutes on my phone Samsung Galaxy Note 4
3. Better usage of sending messages without any freezing issue.
If any 1 can provide me these 3 options in a software I would be really grateful and I am even ready to make the payment if some 1 has already made any software as such and I can purchase it after seeing. Note: I don't want to root my phone. I want to use this software without rooting my phone. So suggest me only if it doesn't need rooting
WhatsApp users on Android will soon be able to backup their messages, images and videos on Google Drive. This feature was in testing for months and was only available on certain WhatsApp versions. Just yesterday, Google announced the integration of WhatsApp with its cloud storage service on Google Drive Blog.
I had a moment of doubt whether I'm on the wrong page of the forum when reading OP and the above reply. Not sure if it differs from country to country, but Google Drive backup for Whatsapp has been available for over a year, and as far as I've noticed, it does not occupy your default Google Drive storage capacities and does not have a said limit for media files. For messages, Whatsapp backups always contain the entirety of your message history, no matter since how many years ago. They exist both on your local backup (/sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases) and Google Drive backup, if enabled.
As suggested by @damponting44, there was a Google Drive Blog post about it, but instead of yesterday, it was posted on October 7 2015.
To "format" Whatsapp, I assume you mean clearing of data completely. You can already accomplish this on Android and an app is unnecessary.
To reset the app's data, go to the Settings app of your phone -> Apps menu -> Find Whatsapp -> Press Clear Data and confirm.
To clear other data such as voice, media and local backups, use a File Manager and delete the entire /Whatsapp/ folder.
Lag or freezing issues rely on the app itself and the capabilities of your phone. Using one app over another usually only results in increased resource usage and would not solve the mentioned problem. That usage scenario is often only selected for feature / customisation enhancements, such as bots or themes. It's best to check if you have issues in your system, if there are too many background apps occupying RAM, etc. to make your foreground app, i.e. Whatsapp run smoother.
An app is unnecessary for all 3 requests you brought up, and it is unlikely one would be developed for those purposes.
I've been using Paralell Space to clone apps and multiple accounts but there's a problem.
I need to use incognito install, because i don't want the installed apps to be visible on app drawer but Paralell Space incognito mode is not working(compatibility with android 7.x??).
Whenever i search an app, i get no results. If i instal via playstore, clone and then uninstall, apps get removed from Paralell Space too.
Anyone knows a similar app that have this requiriments:
- Incognito/Hidden install apps
- Use a password or fingerprint to access app, like Paralell Space
So far i've found a lot of similar apps, but always missing one of those requiriments. Or have incognito install and no security options, or have security options and no incognito install.
