Re: how to fix ram insufficient storage ??
The Android OS is probably taking up most of the 4 GB. Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to really help this. I would suggest your next phone be at least 16 GB of internal storage or more.
Mine has 16G, 2 installed apps, and while it IS a phone thats one gen back from current brand new, it is less than a month old to me. It still wasnt cheap to me. I was happy. It was all i needed it to be and more.. For a minute. Now I have the Same memory problem. The phone is full of "something" in files i cant access or truly clear.
As im writing this its trying to dl google sheets and all sorts of random garbage i dont need or use and wont uninstall or cant be disabled. All the caches i can find have been cleared. Auto update is also disabled. It just does what it wants.
This is my second android and after this im never using this os again. Same issues with last android phone. It just continuously uses data or bandwidth to update useless google junk and ever bloated updates to software that regular folk dont use until its memory is full. Then the functionality starts to nosedive right before it basically becomes unusable hardware.
A brick of forced obsolescence.
Im pissed. Its very aggravating all the way around, as im absolutely not a fan of apple as a company and dont want to support them financially in any way.. But Im going back to iphones. This has been a frustrating and extremely inconvenient experience as a consumer. At least that unwanted iphone will just do its job for a few years as its supposed to, with minimal fuss.
Just a regular person here.. An early 40's male whos comfortable with tech on a base level. I built my gaming rig and did all my installs with nominal problems, i went to school for engineering. I am not an early adopter of phones or tablets because i understand moores law of electronics.. I do remember all of the internet being a thing and consumer electronics/computer hardware since DOS command lines, commodore64, adam and atari. Just some background on me as a consumer. As that guy, let me tell ya..This android thing.. Its awful. Unsatisfactory. Just so, so bad. Ugh.
End rant. I came to read up and maybe to ask a question and then i read that response from a moderator/trusted forum dude. So now..Diatribe. My bad i guess. Im verbose. What can i say?
Actually.. No. I got more.
Shouldn't we all be discussing that all this bloatware, adware and forced capitulance to high speed planned obsolescence is exploitive to the consumer almost maliciously? Why are we using all these precious metals and non renewable mineral resources to make something that could be useful for a number of years if treated well, only to allow them to be made useless by the software forced upon them in a matter of months? I suppose theres an ubuntu phone or random linux thing for phones.. But who as an average consumer and user needs to mess with that? This phone thing..Its bonkers. Straight up bonkers.
