avonw Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 A couple of days ago I upgraded my HTC D816x to Android 5.02 (Lollipop). I was then unable to install a largish new app; insufficient space in internal (not SD card) storage.I looked around; I am not alone in this problem and others were given advice that did little. So far, me too.Here is what I have done:- Uninstalled seldom-used apps- Done a factory reset and restored apps- Moved all apps to SD card- Cleared all cachesThis has resulted in a trivial improvement.Here are the current figures from Settings/Storage:PHONE STORAGE7.36GB/800GBApps - 2.96GBPhotos & videos - 10.43kOther - 4.40GBAvailable - 652MBSD CARD1.04/14.83BGFrom Storage Truth app:/systemsize: 2264.5Mused: 1766.0Mfree: 498.5M/datasize: 4400.9Mused: 3652.2Mfree: 748.8MI have:- No Facebook, Twitter or other "social media"- No games- No moviesI am guessing that Lollipop just simply uses a lot more space and there is no cure.- Is this the case? Am I really super-limited in what I can now install?- If it is, why are users not informed and given a choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosario1990 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Do you have temporary files onto your phone. If so, then remove those from your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
