Hi all
I just noticed that my x6d was going slow, so I checked my task manager and found out that I had 13 MB remaining for my normal apps and over 60 for my services.
Is there any way where I can 'steal' memory from the services and give it to the normal running applications ?
With normal apps I mean the programs that I manually start, such as market, browser, games and stuff like that.
Thanks
So, I just got my new G2X yesterday and loaded all the apps that I had on my MyTouch 4g before. Today I tried to download a 25MB app and my phone is already saying that there isn't enough storage space. When I check under storage it shows that I have 1.2 GB left on my internal storage. So if I have over a gig left why can't I download a 25MB app?
OK, so, come to find out that the Amazon market was able to DL apps perfectly fine so I uninstalled the Android Market updates and then it started working again. So, for what it's worth.

What would have been helpful was a better description of what you were doing, the full message you received.
The market downloads apps to a temporary cache before installing them. If you try to download many apps at the same time sometimes you will get the out of memory error. I got it on my Nexus One often. It has nothing to do with how much usable memory you actually have left. If you are downloading a large app download it alone and don't download any other apps at the same time.
Good advice. That's happened to me before.

Good call. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in the future. thanks.
Not to thread jack. where I'm having storage issues is the way it seems my SD card is being handled. For whatever reason my phone shows as having 3 storage locations SD card, Phone memory and Internal phone storage. The issue is that when using music players when picking a source it only lets me choose from either internal storage or external storage but the internal storage is the Internal phone storage and the external storage is the Phone memory. Leaving me without an option to choose the SD card. What's even more strange is that it does pull music from the SD card but now alot of the tags are messed up. All the tags are correct. I've doubled and tripled checked that. Leaves me scratching my head as to what is going on.

Makes sense. Do you know if this is adjustable? Noticed more and more storage issues with the new market.

Any idea how many apps is too many? I've had at least 15 or 16 apps downloading/updating at once on this phone and I never got an error.
On WI-FI I downloaded 10 at a time no problem. On phones data 5 no problems.

a Friend is trying to download and install BBM from the Play Store, but it won't download at all. Keeps saying something about not enough space on the disk.
He has like 400MB free space on the device and the BBM app is only 22MB(Make it 25MB max) so there should be enough space, yet it doesn't download at all.
His device is stock 100%, not rooted. I'm not familiar with Samsung devices that much(Galaxy S3 was the last one I had and that's been a while back already). I did some searching on google and saw mentions of a hidden menu *#9900# . Will this work on the Galaxy S4 Zoom? Worst case scenario, let's say it doesn't work, is there another method we can resolve this issue without rooting or making other changes to system?
Deleting an excessive amount of apps is not a total solution as a lot of the apps is for both personal and business related purposes. I already made a similar suggestion and he won't be able to go without many of the apps, I managed to only free up like 100MB after getting rid of the things he didn't need.
I only have access to the device for maybe 10mins, max.
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.
No one?
I used the *#9900# code and it did work, I freed up some more space on the phone, albeit it was only a couple of MBs. It didn't make a difference, couldn't download the BBM app still. I then proceeded to downgrade(uninstall update) Google Play to a previous version and at least this time around the app downloaded but after downloading it attempts to install it and then stops stating that there are no storage available.
Is there no solution to this problem? I went through every app he has(Even though he really doesn't have a lot of apps on the phone) one by one and can't seem to move a single app to SD Card.

I tried to install a game on my phone. I had 500MB available (low memory phone, only like, 1.76GB in total), and when it said I didn't have enough memory, I got a message from my phone saying that I was running out of storage space. I had gone from 500 to 50MB!!! Is there any way to get rid of the file? I've tried clearing the app data and that didn't work, and it says that the largest app was only about 98MB. I am running 4.4 on an LG Optimus Fuel.
I recently bought J4 i only installed instagram messenger facebook and other two 4mb app. so i didnt get it out of 16 gb i only got to use 11.3gb which has automatically drained nd now i have 8gb free .ok i get it after installing those app the size is going t9 be like 700mb or assume 1gb... but i dont get it i even got only 20 pics which is 80mb nd no video or no downloads.. also cache is automatically deleted everyday ... so i dont get it i shud have 10gb free instead i got 8gb.
.. i checked with es file explorer nd it's saying in others category after analyzing space that it had 3.5gb so if the apps i installed took 1gb then wheres my other 2.5gb had gone? i also checked system updates which i receives a only 40mb of an update yesterday.. nd i bought this phone for like 1 week.
so please how to get rid of this without root nd if i cant what should i do about it? plz i need suggestion ASAP. thnx
