Has anybody come across a problem with low memory after 3 days of use. This is with stock rom and unrooted. Barely 20 apps installed. What in the world could be eating up on the memory i wonder :confused: This is definitely the first for me and this is my 4th Android device.

Any apps or way to find out which app is taking up all the memory? Yesterday i checked and it was 600 plus MB free. Now it's only 67.8MB free. WTF :mad:
[HTC Incredible S] ultim:
Something definetly not right. I have a lot more apps installed.

Have you accidently installed all your media files ie mp3s, videos onto the phone memory?

Sent from my mobile
[HTC Incredible S] Scann69:
Nup....it's in the memory card. Even if i did, i could not have copied so much mp3 and i for sure did not copy any video's.

Is there any way to find out which app is taking up all the memory? I'm using my Sensation and i have more then 40 apps yet it still have some 500 plus MB.

How in the world did i lose 500 to 600 MB to apps on my device.....what's worse.....i don't even know which app. Damn :mad:

Anybody has suggestions.....appreciate it
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
You could try to factory reset your IS.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
On the Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, it should show you how much space each program is taking up. Does anything look unusual on that screen?
[HTC Incredible S] Scann69:
I've checked in the manage apps but nothing unusual. Running apps are normal. Nothing very huge. Guess i will have to root the IS to find out what is eating up all the memory :(

Am trying not to do a factory reset. Would like to find out what apps are killing my phone memory so i can avoid that app. My first guess is Papago :p
[HTC Incredible S] Scann69:
So i finally figured out what app was taking up all my internal memory....Contact Storage was taking up 886MB.

It only had 442 contacts in it.....anybody knows why it would take up so much contact storage space?? Care to share?
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
So when I first got the GSII I thought it was awesome! But 2 things quickly came to fruition.

1.The lightness was great at first but now its almost as a hassle for me, its TOO light, its like I cant even grab it properly like I did with my IP4, im constantly having trouble handling it and it just feels SO delicate! As if its gonna break if I do something wrong or drop it, its too thin for me, that's why Im having trouble holding it at times.

2.Android I have used before and very much enjoyed it but I dunno what happened to me that now its just too much stuff going on for me, with the IP4, it was simple and right to the point, in a way I appreciate all the extra little things that Android bring but I just dont care too much either, surprising cause im a techie. I dunno if its cause I am used to the IP for so long but it just seems like I have to go through more steps to do things that I would only have to do 1 or 2 on IOS. I always get this feeling of cluttered and an unorganized feel on Android while on IOS it just feels simple and straight to the point and organised. I tried WP7 at launch as well and I was super impressed by its UI, smoothness, how everything was so simple and easy to get to/use, frankly I just dont care about customizing and all that, I just want a quick fast and easy experience.

Now dont get me wrong a big problem I had with Android was how it would lag, freeze and sometimes feel like its in a beta stage, I was curious how the DualCore and 1gb ram would make a difference and wow! Im very impressed here! I havent had a single lag, its so smooth and just runs any and everything with absolute ease! This is how I wanted android to be!!

Another thing is the screen, I had 480x800 phones before as well as SuperAmoled and very much enjoyed them, so I was very excited to see the SuperAmoledPlus Display, too my surprise I wasn't that impressed tbh, the blacks are incredible, the contrast honestly seems good but not what I expected, the IP4 seems on par even brighter in some places, but the biggest thing for me is the pixels, since I had 480x800 before and thought it was great, I didn't think it was gonna be a huge difference but wow it is, the retnia display is MUCH better with text. Theres definitely a difference.

All in all Im not sure what to do now, I think I have a beast of a phone in my hands and it IS good but im not satisfied in certain aspects and it seems the months I spent with IOS really took a hold of me, I find myself trying to do little gestures I did in IOS. Theres the IP5 coming but who knows how much that will be and my contract is not up till next year. I cant find a good case for my life on the GS2 while IP4 has several.

Personally I think WP7 is awesome! But the lack of apps and certain things I need is really pushing me away from it. Im not gonna lie sometimes I get annoyed with Apples restrictions and hate itunes but beyond that I very much enjoy it.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Seriously, trade it in and get an iPhone 4. And if that sounds like I'm being trolly and trying to be funny then don't take it that way. I honestly believe that you've picked the wrong phone.

As popular as this phone is, it's obviously not for everyone.
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
btw sorry if this came off as a bashing thread or something, just giving my honest thoughts.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I didn't think it was mate - I just reworded my response in case I came across as bashing! :)
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
No problem! I read your response and I think I may just wait for IP5, try to get a good sell on this one. I feel dumb, I really thought I was gonna like this one...

What do you think of WP7?
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I agree with the post above. The SGS2 isn't the right device for everyone. IMO it's the best device on the market currently. That being said who cares what I think, it's what you think. If you want to get an iPhone I would hold off until Sept when the iPhone 5 is released.
[Galaxy S II General] alias_neo:
I only skim read the first post but from the number of times I saw "IP4" I think you definately need to jump off the Android bandwagon.

I got this phone two days ago and it's one in a long line of Android phones, if I were to switch to an iphone and do the opposite to you, i'd find myself on modmyi.com moaning about how sucky and locked down apple phones are.

Point is, if you really don't like it, take it back if/while you still can.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I only had WP7 very briefly - on a HD2 that usually ran Android. I liked it, but was put off by how little I could do with it. It felt like going back 10 years to when you were pleased if you could even use your own .mid files as ringtones!
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
The first point about lightness / thinness can be solved with a £2 case from ebay. Job done.

Android phones can be pretty much set up to be very similar to iOS (only better) with a little patience. In fact android can mimick any other phone, or even be completely unique... can you do that with an iphone? No.

Yes the retina display is sharper for text, and when it boils down to it, the retina is probably the only rival display that can compete with the SAMOLED+ but I personally prefer the latter for its comparatively massive size, brilliant blacks and vibrancy. Horses for courses.

Ultimately I'd agree with the others though. Sounds like you bought the wrong phone. I felt the same way with the iphone 4 to be honest, and it was only when the SGS2 appeared that I knew I had a worthy replacement on my hands.
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
I want the Nokia WP7!
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
Definitely in the back of my mind...
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
Well if you like the ease of use of the iPhone, you should check out MIUI: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130951

There's even an iPhone theme which makes it near identical in look and feel.

MIUI is really easy to use and simple to install. Just an idea.

Otherwise just get an iPhone 4 or 5.
[Galaxy S II General] Boltie:
Buying a case would definitely solve issue 1.

Like others have said, with some time and effort you could emulate the iphone look and usability.

Go with what's comfortable for you. Doesn't matter what anyone says.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
I am actually torn between WP7 and Android :D

But I feel Icecream will be the deal breaker for android :D

currently am happy with my SGS2 having come from htc hero, but I also have an HTC HD7 wP7 and I love what Micorosoft has done with MANGO.

and Being a Nokia Fan I am definitely gonna for a Nokia WP7 next year

as I specifically took a 12 month contract on my SGS 2 :D and the SGS2 specs are good enough to last me atleast a couple of years If I do get itchy about android :D
[Galaxy S II General] gaui:
Too light? WTF?

Don't like Android? Don't buy an Android phone!

Go back to iPhone, we don't need you here whining. :D
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
Its funny how theres always one asshole in these threads...
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Well he's got to do something to take our attention away from his tiny manhood. Shame he did something that actually drew our attention to it instead!
[Galaxy S II General] vrekeno:
I second this statement.

I've had the phone for less than a week now and had the same impression, compared to my previous N1.

I just bought a plastic case, it's still light, but it definitely feels better now.
[Galaxy S II General] babamike:
I agree 100% with the OP this is my first android and I was learning on the go. Its very cool device but for some people who just want simple interface they should go for IOS. I do electronics for living and have done a lot of programing in past years. I spent yesterday all day flashing this thing because all the sudden it stopped Sync and Social Hub wont work. It seriously stopped by it self very strange.

I asked all the experts on this website about how to fix it, so far my thread name "social hub Issues" has 100 views and 0 answers. What does that mean? either no one has answer or they think im retard.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
lol - I doubt it's because people think you're a retard ;)

It's more than likely just a rare issue, so not many people that visit this forum will be able to advise you. I'm sure you'll get some advice eventually.
[Galaxy S II General] linkin85:

[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Both points can be solved as others suggested here.

1. Lightness can be solved with a case, I bought one from ebay for $1.50, the case improves the grip and the feel of the phone by a lot.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180691855444&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

2. I don't get your point about android having too much stuff going on. The whole point of android is customization. The user decides how the phone works. If you want everything simple, you can easily do that and make the phone look like an iPhone with just icons on the screen (no roms required!!).

In the end, I agree with people here that the best thing for you would be going back to the iPhone because I am pretty sure that you will still have second thoughts even after using a case and customizing the phone to your liking. Android is not for you.

I personally love the fact that I have the option of choosing what I want to do with my android phone. If I want to do crazy customization, I have the option to do so and if I want a simple phone that just works then with the SGSII this is also possible. The openness of android (user having the choice) combined with SGSII's hardware is a big selling point for many people.

I don't blame you for not looking at this as the biggest value that SGSII offers because iPhone still sells more units and it takes time to move away from Apple's brainwashing.
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
This is one of the most honest and respectful opinion against android and i respect that :)

sure u can fix light weight issue easily as u know how

but u r right about the ease of use of apple IOS but i must say just like u r waiting and positive for iphone 5 or wp7 mango update

be positive about the android future also like ice cream sandwitch .android will sure improve and change more and more and the best part u will miss in other Os is the real open minded people like xda devs who will make it more than just android

Have faith buddy and i m sure future will surprise u :)
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
No he isn't right about the ease of use, install MIUI and everything is as easy or easier than iOS, you can even make it look and feel exactly like iOS.
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
Whats apples brainwashing? That they say its the best phone out there? Certainly not an unbelievable statement seeing as it IS one of the best devices out their. Of course they are going to push their product. I dont know why people say this when its all opinions really, if you like Android the best it IS the best to you, same with apple, wp7 etc its all about what you like, no brainwashing involved.
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Hmm, android fans everywhere guy who likes iOS comes in, yeah youll likely get flamed to hell.

I'm also an iPhone 4 convert to the sgs2 and I do agree with some of your points. The Sgs II is a great phone, best android phone to exist yet, but android is a great experience, mainly because if you dont like something you can change it right way ie the keyboard, lock screen etc. I'm digging the customization IMO this is the first phone I've had where excessive customization did not lag the phone, every other phone felt like I had to use it as they intended, third party stuff would just bog it down.

My major gripe is similar to yours, I really miss the high resolution retina display; reading web pages without every having To zoom was awesome! But you have to give samoled some credit too, the retina display dosnt even come close to it in colors.

With that said, i say stick with the phone for a good week or so; android might grow on you, you are likely just homesick for iOS ATM as this happened to me with the many android phones I tried before this. But then again, if iOS is what suits you then you really can't argue; this isnt a phone for you; sell it and get the iPhone 4 again.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I think people refer to Apple's brainwashing as a figure of speech. Apple's fans are extremely loyal, and like sheep, they would probably follow Steve Jobs off a cliff lol. There's no doubt about it that the iPhone is one of best devices on the market. No one does Media better than Apple. I hope the iPhone continues to be an excellent device so the pressure remains on Android to stay competitive.
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
Yea I see what you mean, and media is a big part of apple, Im already missing that 32gb lol, and man if IP5 is 64gb then wow! the 32gb sd cards are expensive.
[Galaxy S II General] amitmiz:
There is simple solution, INSTALL MIUI & BUY FATTY CASE =]
[Galaxy S II General] ste1164:
If I were you op id stick to the sgs2 until the next iPhone is announced then sell the sgs and buy yourself an iPhone 5. You will be happier with it.
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Totally agree with OP, I came from hd2 running wp7 and android then to an iPhone 4 then to the sgs2, now back with another iPhone 4 yet again, android for me is just to faffy, I spent more time tweaking and changing things to make it sound and make the battery last past lunchtime, I found I was planning my day around the sgs2 instead of using the device to plan my day, the sgs2 screen although large and brightly coloured is not as clear for reading the dpi is really noticeable, to be completely honest I didn't find the sgs2 much faster than the iPhone 4, then only thing I miss is this place, looking forward to how windows phone develops, wanted to really love android but still can't understand why I don't like it, just seems disorganised and haphazard, doesn't feel like it's complete
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
I will repeat this one more time, MIUI. It can change your SGS2 into an iPhone with more features.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
you would be surprised how bias effects you liking one os over the other... in anyways I didn't mean you were brainwashed ..sorry if it sounded like it.. lol.. I just meant it would be harder for an Apple user to appreciate what Android has to offer...
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Android = An automatic transmission

Here is the problem, using Android after iOS is like going from an automatic to a manual transmission.. If you don't know how it works then your car will suffer..

I disagree with your comment about planning your day around the phone, I have many friends with this phone, none of them I would say are techsavvy, they still manage to get very good battery life with no tweaking.. using the phone as it is..

everyone knew about the screen resolution being lower and text would always look better on the retina display so I don't see why this became a problem after the purchase..
[Galaxy S II General] bbtaz:
I am waiting a new nexus phone.
[Galaxy S II General] ricko2169:
Android can have as much or as little "going on" as you like, so your arguement seems a little invalid to me. :confused:

Yes you need to give your own input, but when ever something can be personalised thats always the case.

The iPhone is elegantly simplistic as it comes out of the box, but you have to like it just as Apple has given it to you.

Android handsets can be made elegantly simplistic, but this requires your input. The advantage is (to me anyway) that it can be YOUR TYPE of elegant simplicity and not Samsungs.

Each to their own in the end. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] jrkitching:
A 64gb IP5 will likely redefine the meaning of 'expensive' lol.
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
I really wanted to like my sgs2

But things you can't change that when you read five star reviews that make out the screen is better than the iPhone 4 are not true, the screen is not better, app store is inferior on android and most of the gameloft games I did buy all made the sgs2 extremely hot, only a few utilise gyro control, the battery life in particular when listening to music is no where near as iPhone 4, my morning runs take me just over the hour, runkeeper with music playing, sgs2 battery 100% to 70%, iPhone 4 100% to 94%, these are true, I could never get the sound quality right on the SGS2 either, things I loved where the weight, simply fantastic to hold and read a book, just a shame they didn't use a higher dpi screen, loved the widgets and speed if the homescreens, but to get the battery to last longer I removed most of them, which is rather against what an android device is all about, must admit the back button and menu button on the sgs2 are fantastic this is where android allows more info on the screen and the menus are hidden until you press the physical buttons, notifications are brilliant on android, yet even this seems to being copied by the big apple. I'm not slagging the sgs2 just stating what I found.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Having both S2 and IP4, I would say that despite the defects on the SAMOLED+ used on the S2 its still a better over all screen but the S1 even at pentile is still better than both IMO. For music and runkeeper to drain 30% in just 1hr only stats that something is wrong... probably the lowest you can go is 95%. Other things I would agree on you and also for ultimate OS stability, iOS is far far more stable ( I dont mean by crashes ) Andriod still has a LONG way to go and hopefully it gets partly there 1-2 versions after ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
Agree with op im going to go back to apple not for the os but the build, there are to many gaps and it feels cheap. Im happy i tried this phone but it is a real let down in some areas. I think ill jailbreak the iphone 5 and leave it at that. Ill let you know when it goes on ebay so someone can enjoy the beast. Just not for me :(
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
Well good luck getting any phones now. They've rinsed out all the phone shops.
[Galaxy S II General] davidf:
Hmmm,

Why on earth would someone come into a forum for an SGS II just to ***** about how unhappy they are with the phone when compared to an IP4, there is plenty of reading across the forums explaining what you can do or not do with the phone, the OP claims to be a techie, a really techie would weigh up the options and either adjust the phone or move back to their preferred phone of choice, not waste time going into a multiparagraph statement explaining politely why the phone just isn't as good as an iOS device(in their honest opinion). Its almost like the Iphone advertising cmpaign that tells the consumer that every single aspect of an iphone is something that you could only do if you own an iphone.

Bottom line the OP may have been polite and diplomatic in his post but at the end of the day it is still just trolling. We as consumers make our choices if we find something that is just wrong let the world know, We are responsible for our own decisions we don't need to use these forums as some sort of self denial process when we get it wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
+1 .. on that note.. I think this is a good time to close this thread..
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
wtf now im trolling? We are just discussing a topic, some of you need to get a ******* life. This forum stuff is not that serious, thanks for the people actually discussed the topic at hand and dont make love to their phones apparently.
[Galaxy S II General] zamana:
+2

And I would like to know who has asked moderators to remove my post on this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] solidkevin:
It wasn't me but I would gladly tell you if it was as it was a stupid post adding nothing whatsoever to the discussion at hand.
[Galaxy S II General] N-C:
I picked up my friends iPhone 4 today and for me there is no going back.

The iphone screen seemed tiny compared to my GS2. Phone seemed chunky and awkward to hold.

I am not anti-apple, but I think the GS2 gives a much better user experience due to the screen alone.

People who are thinking of going back to iPhone, you'll be pining for your galaxy 2 before the end of the day.
[Galaxy S II General] RoRo1990:
I had the same problem as the first issue where the phone felt way too light and I like having a hard grip on my phone. I bought the otterbox case and that problem is solved now. But you gotta realise that you should have done research before buying the phone:S
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Some people just prefer apple, im sute if I had an IP4 I would have a better opinion on it, I dont and am 100% happy with android and this is my first samsung phone since 2003/04 and absolutky love all about it!
[Galaxy S II General] on2a:
OP your main concerns have been well addressed by other responses but I'll repeat them here.

If you think the phone is too light, thin or whatever, buy a case, such a simple solution.

On the missing of iOS this is likely fire to you being engrained in it. I used iOS since the original iphone upto iPhone4. I kept an eye on all the android phones from 2.0 but only made the switch when the OS was fast enough and the hardware compelling enough. This was gingerbread on the SG2. As you've said there's no lag and the phone feels snappy. Aside from the apps and the hardware - which you can't change, the only thing you can change is the UI. Even when I first bought my Galaxy S2 I thought Apple had the best UI/UX.

Not anymore.

Do yourself a favour and install the MIUI rom. Its like iOS on steroids - in a nice way. I actually think the folks at Cupertino are envious of this OS, though they would never admit it.. Seriously its so well put together outs scary. Has all the tweaks and UX pleasantries of iOS in the powerful shell of Android. Yes its still in beta for the SG2 but I'm running it fine and its stable for everyday use.

Btw now I've used swype I can't go back to iOS

Short version:

1) buy a case

2) install MIUI

If this doesn't work for you nothing will :)

Swyped from my SG2 running XDA App on MIUI rom
