J2 prime is out of memory. Transfer some applications to the memory card

Today we got our hands on an entry-level smartphone from the J line Samsung. At first glance, the device gives the impression of a purely budget, unremarkable representative of the segment. However, during use, several interesting moments, distinguishing it from its competitors.

Packaging and equipment of the device

The smartphone comes retail in a small box white. It is decorated in the corporate style of the company. The name of the device is printed on the front side. back side, according to tradition, applied brief information about the device, its main advantages and legal information.

Having removed the outer packaging, we see the smartphone itself, wrapped in shipping film. Under the smartphone and the hinged lid lies the device's delivery kit, which represents the apotheosis of minimalism:

charger delivering 1 A;

microUSB cable for charging and connecting to a PC;

documentation and warranty card.

The accessories are made in white and have a very high quality feel. They perform their functions without any complaints.

Appearance and ergonomics of the device

Externally Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime is a typical representative of the company, a kind of mixture of the A series of last year and the flagship of 2013 year Galaxy S5. It will be difficult to confuse it with any device from another company. The black device looks quite strict and solid.

From the front, the smartphone looks more expensive than it actually is. In our case, this is due to the black color, on which the chrome edging of the body frame and the physical button look very advantageous. In addition, attention is drawn to the sensors lined up in a row and the selfie camera, which has its own flash.

The frame of the device is made of plastic, and if in the middle it is painted silver and does not give the impression of metal, then closer to the edges it is coated with chrome. Thanks to this, when you look at the device from the front or back, the frame beautifully reflects the sun's rays.

The back cover is made of plastic. I haven’t used devices with plastic cases for quite some time and I frankly don’t like them. However, in this case, I really liked the solution. First of all, plastic high quality, feels a little rubberized to the touch. Secondly, it practically does not collect fingerprints and has a pleasant fine structure. Thirdly, it fits perfectly in the hand and does not try to slip out, as devices made of metal or glass like to do. Despite the fact that the cover is removable, the device does not make any squeaks.

The arrangement of elements on the body is standard. Almost the entire front panel is occupied by the screen, under which there are two touch buttons application menu and back button, as well as a physical home button. There is no backlighting for the buttons, and there is no fingerprint sensor either. Above the screen are located from left to right: LED flash, earpiece, proximity sensors and front camera. The device does not have a notification indicator, nor does it have a light level sensor.

On back cover the company logo is applied. There is a camera in the middle, to the left of which is an LED flash, and to the right is a multimedia speaker grille. The cover is removable; opening it, we see the battery, which can be removed without any tools. There are also three full slots here. Two of them are for micro SIM cards, and the third is for a memory card. In times of a trend for combined slots, this approach cannot but rejoice.

At the ends of the device, the elements are spaced according to the classical scheme: on the bottom edge the engineers placed a microphone and a microUSB port, on the left panel there is a volume rocker, on the right there is a power button, and the top edge is topped with a 3.5 mm audio jack. All elements work clearly with characteristic feedback. There are small gaps in the plastic buttons. But, in general, the build quality is at a good level.

Display

The smartphone has a five-inch display, made according to IPS technology. What made us abandon the branded Amoled screen, as in the previous generation of the gadget, is an open question. In addition, the resolution is very low, only 960 x 540 pixels. This is the main complaint about the smartphone as a whole. The image quality is unclear, the fonts are noticeable, and when watching videos and images, the cheapness of the matrix is ​​noticeable.

At the same time, the matrix is ​​quite bright. Automatic adjustment There is no brightness, you have to adjust it manually. On a sunny day, you need to turn on a special “outdoor” mode, which squeezes all the juices out of the screen and can turn itself off after 15 minutes of screen inactivity. Minimum brightness insufficient, using a smartphone in the dark is very unpleasant. When tilted, the matrix does not behave in the best possible way, there is inversion and loss of brightness, although not severe. The darkest image is obtained when you look at the screen at an angle of 45 degrees; with further deviation of the smartphone, the brightness becomes sufficient again. The device screen only accepts two touches at a time.

The coating is made of plastic, there is no oleophobic coating. This is why a smartphone absolutely needs either a film or protective glass. The screen very readily collects all traces and dirt, which often even leads to false clicks. You have to wipe it regularly. Due to the lack of glass coating, it also readily collects scratches. The test smartphone came to me no longer in better condition and, apparently, during my use it collected a few more scratches. And this despite the fact that I always carry smartphones in separate pockets from my keys and use them quite carefully.

Device performance

The smartphone has an MT6737T processor from MediaTek. Four cores of the ARM Cortex-A53 architecture operate at frequencies up to 1.44 GHz. Graphics core Mali-T720 MP2. The device has 1.5 GB of RAM, of which only about 400 MB is available to the user.

It is the lack of RAM that is weak point device performance. In everyday use, the device operates smoothly and without any major hiccups. But as soon as you open several applications or load the RAM with tabs in the browser, freezes and delays begin when switching between them.

Having run the smartphone in the synthetic AnTuTu Benchmark test, we got a result of 31 thousand points. Standard values for devices on similar hardware. There was no heating observed in the operation of the smartphone.

In general, the device is fast enough. The smartphone does not suffer from annoying slowness. Even judging by the tests, you can understand that the device is not a gaming device. You can play simple arcade games like Subway Surfers or Traffic Rider without any problems. If you want to play something more serious, look towards representatives from the Middle Kingdom for the same money.

Software

The smartphone is controlled by the system Google Android 6.0 with a little lighter branded shell TouchWiz. Security updates arrive regularly, as soon as I started the smartphone, it suggested updating the software. However, this is quite difficult to do due to the constant lack of space in the smartphone. Therefore, you can’t do without a memory card.

The shell design, familiar from all other models of the company, has been slightly redesigned here. Many features have been cut. Despite this, the shell is quite heavy, and therefore takes up a lot of space both in the memory module and in RAM.

In general, the shell is quite logical and pleasant. In my opinion, it is much more thoughtful and convenient than the stock version operating system. And the design deserves special praise.

Sound and multimedia

The volume of the multimedia speaker is above average. If the device is kept deep in your bag, you may completely miss the call. The quality is also not great, there are few low frequencies, and the overall sound is rather weak. Speaker loud, even at maximum volume the interlocutor can be heard perfectly. No wheezing or extraneous sounds.

The sound in the headphones is not bad at all. The settings include various proprietary equalizers, volume effects, and more. In general, this gives quite good sound, not as clean as in expensive devices. But in terms of volume and general background it is very pleasant.

There is only one sound for recording an audio track and for conversations, located on the bottom edge. It is quite sensitive; during a conversation there were no problems with my hearing. Voice commands in the car he also perceived it correctly. The vibration alert is of medium strength, works correctly and is not intrusive.

The gallery works smoothly and supports all standard Samsung album and story divisions. Video playback does not cause problems, nor should it, with such a low screen resolution. Videos on YouTube work without problems, but even HD videos cannot be played.

Communications and wireless interfaces

The device supports two micro SIM cards. There is, traditionally, only one radio module. The menu has a card manager where you can configure which card will make voice calls, which card will send SMS messages, and which device will access the mobile Internet.

Both SIM cards support LTE. There were no problems with reception quality or signal degradation. As standard, the device is equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi interfaces, everything works stably.

The GPS module works well. It picks up satellites quickly; there were no issues when using a smartphone as a navigator in a car.

Camera

The camera interface is simple and quite convenient. Manual modes greatly reduced. It is best to work in automatic mode. The size of the main camera module is 8 megapixels and has autofocus.

In the daytime, the camera pleasantly surprises. The pictures come out very rich and with high-quality color rendition. Of course, the sensor size does not give good detail, but for photos on social networks or some kind important information more than possibilities.

Even at speed, the photos do not blur. Macro photography also works accurately, even without specialized modes.

In the evening and at night, the quality of shooting noticeably decreases. But even then, photos from a short distance turn out to be very tolerable for the price category of a smartphone. The flash is average, in complete darkness it is unlikely to be enough.

The front camera has a 5 megapixel module, there is no autofocus, as well as various enhancers. But it has a built-in bright LED flash. Thanks to this, you can take a good photo even in complete darkness. The quality of selfie photos is amazing; even in artificial lighting, the photos turn out as rich and detailed as the size of the matrix can allow.

The quality of the video frames is also not bad; you can shoot a small amateur video without any problems.

Memory and battery life

Since this is an ultra-budget device, the manufacturer saved on everything it could. Here we go with user memory The smartphone has a problem. An 8 GB module is installed from the factory, of which only about one is available to the user. That is, after downloading a couple of toys, social networks and taking a hundred photos, you will completely fill your memory. In this situation, you cannot do without a memory card; cards up to 256 GB are supported.

The battery is small, only 2600 mAh. It is removable, so you can take a spare one with you in case this one runs out. And this can happen quite quickly. Despite the energy-efficient platform, the smartphone does not show autonomy records. If you don't play games, the device will last until the evening. But nothing more.

If you start playing and actively using it, it will last no more than five to six hours. Charges complete charger smartphone for about two hours.

Results

Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime turned out to be quite controversial. It has a strict design, excellent camera capabilities, both front and main, as well as a pleasant, nimble shell. The disadvantages include a budget screen with low resolution and poor-quality coating without oleophobic coating, as well as low battery life.

But if you don’t consider him as competitors Chinese smartphones, still suffering from “childhood diseases” in the form of crooked firmware, lame assembly and defects, it turns out that there are no devices at all from famous manufacturers with such a set of qualities.

We would like to express our gratitude to the online store for providing the smartphone for testing.

There are four reasons why your phone may not work smoothly or the way you expect it to:

2. There is no slot for additional MicroSD memory.

3. The device is infected with a virus.

4. The user of the device is in an area with low level signal, which leads to battery drain as the device is constantly searching for a signal/network.

For the fourth option we have already solved it earlier. For those who have built-in and additional memory full of files and other data, you can advise freeing them by transferring files to other devices or by backing up to any available cloud storage. In addition, automatic backup media files and clearing cached data from installed applications would be the best option.

File manager

File manager apps can come in handy when it comes to organizing or storing files/data; especially downloaded files from messages email, social networking sites, blogs and others. The most recommended file manager is ES File Explorer. This application works in tandem with many cloud services such as Google Drive, Box, SkyDrive and Dropbox to provide effective way data organization.

One of the cheapest cloud storage options is iDrive, which offers 50GB of storage for just 0.99 cents per year.

Cache management

Every time you install an application on your Android device, a folder is created to store user settings, images, files and logs. For example, every time you watch an Instagram video, the data is cached (saved) on your device so that the next time you try to watch the same content, the video will load faster. But let's ask ourselves, how many times are we going to watch the same video?

We come to the conclusion that in order to win extra space. Also, users can set the cache to be cleared on a schedule. Effective applications such as 1 Tap Cleaner or Clean Master Can be used to increase storage space.

App 1 Tap Cleaner is a one-click solution to clear cache/saved files using a widget. Once the app is installed, users will be able to see individual app cache usage; this way the content and log files can be cleaned accordingly. Using 1 Tap Cleaner, users will be able to remove applications without having to log into the Play Store.

The Clean Master app is a simple app that allows the user to clear cached files; In addition, it can clean files larger than 10 MB. Additionally, it has an option to close applications that are not in use.

Backup Automation

If the Android device stores huge amount photos, videos and music albums, users can schedule automated backups to the cloud service. Not all files will be needed on the device at any given time. If use cloud services This is not an option, then users can transfer their files to computers to get additional space in the smartphone.

Another way to solve Samsung memory full problem

But the problem repeated itself, there was not enough memory again. And what’s surprising is that I transferred Opera and everything worked, so far there are no problems.

More Google browser Chrome crashes a lot system memory with your data. Use it on Samsung s7 edge, led pro ssd evo, s 8 s8 plus, 6 black or another model is simply not realistic and not possible, maybe in new versions they will make it better.

Popular reviews on Samsung

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lis1405p from Excellent Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I bought the phone Microsoft applications, later became very useful, but together with the already installed Samsung apps, Google and Microsoft immediately needed additional storage space. Application updates are removed and almost all applications are disabled and this should not be made a problem. The RAM is pleasing, with the help of optimization it is constantly required to be cleaned. So, I'm writing from the phone that I've been using constantly for 11 months. And the opinion is also constant - this is an excellent phone in the mid-price category, durable, lightweight, convenient, high-quality camera, flash on front camera very useful.

EXCELLENT SMARTPHONE SAMSUNG GALAXY J2 PRIME, THE MAIN WARNING IS THAT THE PHOTOS ON THE FRONT CAMERA ARE NOT BLURRED, ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, THERE ARE VERY JUICY PICTURES, AND ALSO THAT THERE ARE POWERFUL LOUD SPEAKERS, THE QUALITY IS SA WE WANT A HIGH AND DURABLE GOOD SMARTPHONE FOR REAL MEN AND WOMEN!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zulfiya from A phone that evokes mixed feelings It would seem that the memory is large, but it is sold with initially loaded applications that are not needed at all (Google books, Google games, Google press, etc.). It is also not possible to delete it permanently - you can disable it. Therefore, there is very little memory left. You can download the necessary applications, but in the end you cannot install as many of them as you need. Reason: a message constantly pops up saying that there is not enough memory, that something needs to be deleted. You transfer some applications to a flash drive, but, alas, this is not possible with all applications, so, for example, the music you are listening to stops playing, but a message about insufficient memory appears again. And this is a big minus, in my opinion. Phone overload pre-installed applications- don't eat gud. Absent music player, you have to search on the play market, but it’s inconvenient. Not even the most simple headphones the included set is also a minus; my previous Samsung, which I bought a year ago, had simple headphones of decent quality, although not vacuum ones. Externally this is a very beautiful phone. But there is no film, this, I think, is a minus (in previous Samsung there was a film). And, despite the listed shortcomings, I like this phone. I recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JustLucky from A wonderful mobile phone. The phone is pretty good. The only caveat is that there is not enough built-in memory for large applications, 4 out of 8 GB are occupied by the system. I was especially pleased with the presence of a built-in adapt sound program.

Depending on the class of the device and its year of manufacture, the amount of internal (i.e. built-in) memory varies. In some devices it is 4 GB, in others 16 GB or more. There is never enough internal memory. Firstly, for the operating room Android systems The internal storage has priority for installing applications. Secondly, not every application will allow itself to be installed on a memory card (external storage). Thirdly, gadget manufacturers like to fill the built-in storage out of the box with all sorts of pre-installed games and other software, which is called bloatware. Therefore, the built-in storage of an Android device tends to run out faster than the user expects. In this case, the error “Insufficient space in the device memory” or “Phone memory is full” is displayed, and applications are not installed. In this article we will look at everything possible ways get rid of this error and solve the problem with shortage free space V Android phone or tablet.

Here's a living example - Samsung Galaxy J3 2016. After purchasing it, we brought it home, connected it to Wi-Fi and allowed us to update all the built-in applications, without installing a single new application. What do we have? — After 2 hours, all applications were updated and the message immediately appeared: Not enough free space - 0.99 GB available.

As I said above, this happened for two reasons:

1. The model is budget and the memory on the internal storage is only 4 GB;
2. Despite the modest amount of built-in memory, Samsung has pre-installed a lot of applications, most of which the owner will not need at all.

How to check how much internal memory is free

There are several ways to check how much free space is currently available on your device.

Via Dispatcher

IN Samsung smartphones Tap the Recent Apps button (or hold the Home button for about 1 second on very old devices) and then tap the memory icon.

You will be taken to the Uploaded tab. Bring up the menu and select Sort by size:

After that, click on the unnecessary application and select Delete:

Remove updates to unused native apps or disable them completely

Now about the software that cannot be removed - the built-in applications that your phone was sold with. Uninstall updates and then completely disable apps you don't use. To do this:

Select an application.
Click Uninstall updates:

Then click Disable:

For example, few of my friends use products such as:

• Google Play Press
• Hangouts
• Chaton
• Google Play Books
• RBC Currencies

Note. If you have root, you can remove any software - even system software. But you need to be extremely careful with this matter. We recommend removing so-called bloatware - various games and other software imposed by your manufacturer.

Clearing the cache of all applications on Android

Go to Settings > Options > Memory:

Wait a few seconds while the occupied space size is calculated. Tap on an item Cached data:

Click OK:

Empty Trash ES Explorer

Many people use the ES Explorer manager, but do not know that it is capable of putting deleted information into the trash and storing it there. As a result, after some time a message may appear stating that the device memory is insufficient. If you use this program, empty the Trash or disable it. You can also use the built-in cleaner:

Clearing memory using utilities

Such utilities, as a rule, do not provide a noticeable effect. But some display advertisements and take up memory space on their own. Therefore, if you decide to use such a utility, remove it after cleaning. You can always reinstall it and clear the internal memory again.

Transfer some applications to the memory card

This is done simply: you need to go to Application Details and click To SD memory card:

This often helps to free up a little disk space and remove the message There is not enough space in the device memory, but there are two “buts” here:

• The program may run slower from a memory card;
• as mentioned above, not all programs will allow you to do this.

There is not enough space for writing, although there is enough of it - how to solve the problem?

There is a situation when free memory enough, but Android applications still do not want to be installed and display the error “Not enough space in the device memory.” Try these points...

Clear Google Play Store cache

In the Application Manager, go to the All tab and find Google Play Store:

Open its properties and clear the cache in the same way as we showed above.

Uninstalling a Google Play Store update

Often, returning to the original version of the Market helps clear the error. Click Uninstall updates:

Clearing the cache partition via Recovery mode

Turn off your device.
Turn it on again and hold the button to enter Recovery mode. In Samsung you need to hold down the Power key + Home + Volume up.
Select Wipe cache partition:

If you have an Advanced item, go into it and select Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Wipe

If you have been using your device for a long time and actively install and uninstall applications and games, then your device’s memory probably contains many remnants of deleted software. These files and folders not only take up a lot of space, but can also slow down the device and introduce glitches.

These steps should help you get rid of the “Not enough device storage space” message on Android.
