After months of struggling with running out of storage space for apps on my Samsung Galaxy SII and ending up in dead end every time when I looked for a solution on the Internet, I finally managed to find a quick and effective way to free up the limited storage space of this phone. The thing about this phone model and its biggest problem is, it has an internal USB storage of around 12GB which couldn't possibly be used to install apps. Instead, all the apps by default are installed in the 2GB device memory which is shared with the OS. So, one can imagine how frustrated the user will become and eventually forced to consider replacing it with a newer model.
The solution I found was posted in the AndroidCentral forum by a dude alias Stu40 which can be found at this link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii/272384-galaxy-s2-cannot-download-updates-new-apps.html
This is his suggested method (copied from his post):
A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files
in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2
“Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to
root your phone either. That’s it!
It works like a charm! Thanks dude!
