internal storage.

And how much free space do you have on your sd card?

From my experience i can tell you that 650mb is not enough for the update. You need around 250mb just for the system to work properly. I could not even install any apps if i had less then aprox. 250mb, beacuse it was asking me to free more space, so i could install something. So i think you need more than 650. Free up more space. Try to uninstall a few apps, until you have around 800-900mb free space, than try to update and if you manage to do it, than just install again the apps you removed before.

"650 MB free storage for update" means you need 850 MB free storage for phone to operate.

is the marshmallow update out?

[Q] Xperia U memory full message although like 500MB free on telephone memory...

My internal memory has only 2 - 10 MB free but STILL my "telephone" memory is free by 500 MB or so, still when trying to install/update a new app this stpd message comes... ?
Tried moving the smallest apps from internal to telephone memory, but NOT working due to small memory??? Wtf? Xperia U trying to fool me... -.- :crying:
Pls help!
/data partition is not same as /sdcard partition.
Okay, and how exactly shall knowing that help me?
/Data is where apps are installed. /Sdcard is media partition.
So if youre trying to install apps it doesn't matter how much internal memory you have

L9 P769 No Space for Any Applications

Hey everyone,
Very recently, my rooted P769 on Jellybean (20f) isn't letting me install any applications because there is no free space. But that isn't true - I have 560 MB free on my internal SD! At first I was down to about 150 MB free, but I couldn't install any applications then, so I deleted some applications and cleared some data so now I have about 560 MB free, but I still can't install one small 5 MB application! I haven't done any app2sd (I only have 2 GB free on my external SD so there would be no point anyways). I also have CWM recovery 6 by artas but I haven't installed anything with it recently. Any help? Maybe there is a way to modify build.prop to allocate more space for application data?
Any help would be really appreciated, because I can't install any application on my phone right now.

Try checking your clockworkmod/backup folder on your internal sd card. if you have one or two in there it will make a difference. Transfer those files to your SD card. Sounds like you need a new sd card as well. Get a 16gb one from Wal-Mart for like $15! Once you get your new SD Card then follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44683922#post44683922
Good Luck!

I don't think you understand my problem. I have 560 MB of free space on my internal SD, but I can't install any applications because every time I try I get an error that I don't have enough space, regardless of the size of the application. I should be able to install a 5 MB application if I have more than 5 MB of free space. I have a 32 GB class 10 external SD card (and I have a couple CWM backups on it) but it's almost full so doing Link2SD isn't realistic, not to mention the many problems that Link2SD has been known to cause. If somebody has had this problem before, where they definitely have enough free space to install applications but their phone tells them they do not, I'd appreciate some assistance.

I had this problem once, I've read that that the system could not remove an app or something, sorry but the only way I fixed was by restoring a cwm backup. I spent a good while trying to solve it, but nothing I found worked.

I had this problem with a different phone once, when I believe I tried to install and uninstall the same app for a lot of times, it finally refused to do so. End up flash the whole ROM.
You could try uninstalling the last few apps you installed or fix permissions before you dump the rom

I hope that your 5mb application is not TitanBackup and you are not having LuckyAbcxyz in your phone! If you do, that's the source of your problem, and you can see if all the time and troubles you got worth the pirated stuffs...
If u are using remount SD to switch ur ext sd with ur internal SD then u need to make a folder called external_SD in ur sdcard0 folder after u use remountsd to switch storage.. if not, then I say u need to use remountsd and use jb settings to change ur storage.. if u want I can link u to the instructions post of remount SD

Download remountsd and OPEN it.. (must have root) click on the wrench settings icon and input these mounts to their respected places
JB Settings:
Interne SD - /storage/Sdcard0
External SD - /storage/Sdcard0/external_sd
Target external SD card - /storage/sdcard0
Reboot ur phone and when finished media scanning go to ur storage and see the changes. I've experienced if problem before and I had to not only hard reset the phone I also had to flash a cwm backup stock of my current Rom
IF remountsd doesn't work right away u need a fresh install of Rom THEN try remountsd. Remountsd is a Definite for switching storages

[Q] App Storage

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could answer, why the App Storage for the Desire X is limited to 2.9 GB. Apparently some apps can no lobger be Moved and I currently seem to have only 18 MB free. An installation of an update of Facebook (19 MB) or Chrome (36 MB) often fail unless I have cleared all the cahces.
Can somebody tell me how to increase this space? I have used cache Cleaner to Move all apps to sd card that were possible to move.
Maybe sb. has some ideas.
Thanks
Andy
You can install a micro SD card and move a few apps to SD if possible. If that's not enough, root your phone, partition your sd card so it has an ext4 partition and install Link2SD from Google Play. Then, you can move any apps to your sd card.

How can i install a micro SD card???:good:
i can insert one though
I think I moved all the Apps I can and I don't think rooting will do the trick.
Under AppStorage in Settings I used up 2.73 GB / 2.90 GB
Apps 0.91 GB
Other 1.81 GB
I am stumbling over the Other category.
I recently found out that my camera actually saved to phone memory and not to my sd card. I changed it now and actually moved the files.
But why is other so high here? If Apps only take up 0.91 GB that would be fine.
Did your clear the apps caches? Maybe it helps.

Hi dansou,
I did. I do that with CleanMaster. It is usually the only way to install an update to Facebook or Chrome.

Thanks for the advice. I installed it, but I don't really now what I'm looking at, or what I should be looking for.
I'll try wiping my phone completely soon, and reinstalling everything. Right now it has errors often stating I don't have enough space.

Zte nubia z5s mini - storage space

Hello, I have a problem with my Nubia z5s mini. I have a ROM in which I just have 2GB for installing apps. Anybody knows any ROM with more space for apps or any way to change this space? Because the phone has 16GB ROM and now I have just 2GB for apps and it is not enough for me. I know I can move apps to SD card but it's not enough.
Thank you!!
If you are able to root the phone you may not need another ROM.

Yes, the phone is already rooted but I don't know if I can change the space for apps.
Okay, you have a number of options now to be able to free space. First, where did you get the 16GB number from?

Oh I understood it as you had a ROM that took up 16 GB space, but in reality you have a total of 16 GB space on your phone?

I have 2 partitions: one of 10 GB and another one of 2 GB (devoted to install apps). Then, I can´t install more than 2GB in apps
Hmm that sounds odd. What's the 10GB version called?

Do you mean the name of the ROM? it is CyanogenMod 12.1 11th August 2015, android 5.1.1
Both partitions of storage are internal storage. Apart from that, I have a micro SD card.
I was thinking what the 10gb partition is called?

¨Internal Storage¨, the same as the 2GB partition.
Anybody knows something?
Interesting that the system partition is that big. Anyway, download the app DiskUsage and figure out what's taking most space in the /media/Android/data folder. (And other places too).

Did u go in the file manager to delete it?
BTW, how much ram did ur phone had already?
If it is more than or near to 1 GB, u are wasting your time.
Virtual memories are slower than physical ones.
Ur phone will become laggy than ever before.
Don't use the ram expander.
what can i do to get more free ram
and reduce lags.?

John, as I read you say that you have 4 GB junk files on your SD card ?
Try to format your SD card on pc and restore default size.
You can use some SD card reader and format your SD Card if you are unable to format your SD card in phone .
Use sd maid pro or root cleaner.
DOES THIS THING WITH VIRTUAL RAM WORK OR NOPE?
because my phone is using 1gb at least and i have 500 free ram
and i get lags etc
Problem
I have the same problem which was posted on hashtag 3 please help me thank you
