System memory low Solution

My problems were:

  • System memory low errors
  • Insufficient storage errors with updates
  • Invalid package errors with updates
  • All of the above I presume led to a major phone crash which corrupted my 32gb sd card

I was running most of my apps from SD card, but was still getting the low memory errors.:confused:

Then my phone crashed, SD card corrupted, couldn't access most of the apps:mad:

So, used Recover My Files on PC to recover what I could of the SD card(recovering a 32gb card takes fooking hours!!), then reformatted the card and transferred the recovered data back on to the SD card. That resulted in most, but not all, of my apps and data working again.

However, the low memory errors/storage errors/packet errors still persisted.:rolleyes:

Thanks to a suggestion by Matroid on this thread:http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/278837-low-space-system-data-huge.html

I used Diskusage to examine my \data\system data folder and found a log folder using over 800mb!

Using Root Explorer, navigated to the folder, deleted the content, rebooted the phone, and all is now good! :)

At least for the moment anyway!

Hope this helps some other people out with similar errors, but using Diskusage to view the \data\system is worth checking out!
 
You don't have to root your phones to fix this problem. Just dial *#9900# on the phone and then select from menu - delete dumpstate/logcat. I tested this solution on my SGS2 and it works.
 
Help! Just a minor problem. I have recently root my s2 i9100 anf put cwm. After that the nba 2k13 becomes laggy and I think the game eats the whole memory. Can someone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

This is one of the easiest solutions ever! Thank you aalee. I took all of 10 seconds to clean up my memory!:)
 
Trying to solve this issue on my wife's Samsung Galaxy S2. I tried dialing *#9900# and I get "Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code." However, this works on my Galaxy S4. Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
