HTC Desire :: Memory Clean Up
My memory is getting very low.I know about all the move to SD methods; I want to try and get rid of some unused data first.I always see posts about clear data and clear cache.Yes, this frees up space but do the apps actually need this data? What is the difference between data and cache? e.g.If I clear data from my contacts app, will all my contacts be deleted?What am I safe to clean up? Is there a way of cleaning up everything at once? Is there an equivalent to defrag and disc clean up? Any advice on getting some memory back without moving apps would be great.

Android :: Phone Memory Clean Up?
My phone and sd card memory is very full and im sure that a lot of this is unused folders and data left behind by old uninstalled apps, temporary files etc. Is there some kind of disk clean up app i could get to remove all of this junk?

HTC Desire :: Clean Install - Paid Apps Unsearchable
I was running rooted 2.1 and then did a clean install to 2.2. I went to marketplace, and SOME of my previously paid for apps showed up as 'purchased' which I then reinstalled fine, but a lot of the rest are not even appearing when I search for them, although their free demo versions do appear. My google checkout lists all the apps I paid for no problems when I look at purchase history on a computer, but still, I cannot even search for these paid apps, let alone attempt to install them!

HTC Desire : Memory - Switch To Sd Card When Phone Memory Full
Not had my desire long but down loaded a few apps for it they all seem to be stored on phone memory not the sd card. what is stored to the sd card seems to be unused so far. do you have to set it up to use sd card or does it know one is fitted. does it switch to sd card when phone memory full. will run out of space soon if can't get things to store to card instead of phone mem.

HTC Desire :: Phone Run Out Of Memory
I got my phone yesterday and been playing with it since. Good bits-going on the net is quick, clear and very smooth. Customizing is very good. Bad bits-would have thought it would come with a video player that could play any type of format. I can't put apps onto mem card, thought the hole point of being able to put a large size mem card into the phone was so you could put all the extras onto the card. This is the main let down for me, got some apps on the phone last night then the phone said it had run out memory. I've seen that rooting can change this but don't fancy voiding my warranty. Wonder if a future update would cover this.

HTC Desire :: Having Low Phone Memory / Need App?
I have had my desire for one week now and have been playing around with apps etc (first android phone)I got a message today saying my phone memory was low (at one point i couldn't install an app. I have always uninstalled apps that i do not want and i have also moved as many as will allow to the SD card. Now i o dont think i have many apps installed (13 that wont allow me to move to the SD card) and yet i seem to be at my limit. Is this normal and is there a way around it. I was expecting to be able to install a lot more than this or is it a limitation of the desire? Currently my phone is showing 25.00MB of space left but i have just had to unistall afew as it was showing 17MB previously.

HTC Desire :: Low Space - Where's The Memory Being Used Up?
Yesterday I had 70 Mb of internal memory left, today it's only 55! I haven't installed any apps, and even if I have, not 15 Mb! So where's the memory being used up? I have seen that if you go into a contact's card, you are able to see his facebook photos in one of the tabs. These are downloaded to the internal memory then? Does android automatically clear these things?

HTC Desire : Saying Low Internal Memory
I have literally had this phone for 5 days and its saying low internal memory. I have no idea where the hell it all went. right now it says 15.7mb internal memory. I have moved most of my apps to sd card aswel. I had an HTC hero with virtually the same apps, and not once did it say low on memory so is my desire faulty ?

HTC Desire :: Internal Memory Size?
According to android information system; the max internal memory is 147mb, I have 14.75 mb (9%) left. This means I have used 132,75mb. According to app brain, I have 69 apps with a total of 140mb. Surely the move to SD built into froyo should move more than 7.25mb? Most of my apps have the feature. I know this is the poorest way of getting apps to SD but surely it should move more than that? I am going to have a go at the noob guide to moving apps to SD later to see if it improves things. I need to do something. I am at a stage now where apps not update. i have to uninstall the old version and then reinstall the new version.

HTC Desire :: Internal Memory Filling Up By Itself
I've noticed that the Internal memory of my Desire seems to filling up even though im not adding new files/downloading any new apps... Im using wi-fi several times a day to check emails, update friendstream etc... but there seems to be no major correlation with the memory increase. As a guide memory usage has gone from 72mb to 82mb in the last 5-7 days Is this normal? how i can clear out any files that may be accumulating? Obviously concerned as internal memory is limited as it is and if this continues it wont be long til the phone fills itself up!

HTC Desire :: Phone Running Low On Memory / What To Do?
My phone storage on my HTC Desire seems to be permanently full up, I know there's things like the Internet cache and contacts that are growing all the time but I should still have enough room for other stuff. I've installed and moved all apps to my sd card, I only have 35 or so and there all fairly small little apps but I use them all. Yet I am always getting the phone is running low on memory message, so I cant install anything from the app store. Thing is I still have 11.55 mb of phone memory but I feel I should have loads more, there's only really a few things taking up memory from what I can see in my apps because everything else is on my sd card. Contacts Storage: 17.34mb Flash Player 10.1 : 12.39mb Maps ; 7.75mb Swype: 5.96mb Facebook: 3.80mb Voice Search: 2.57mb HTC Sense : 2.30mb Internet : 2.39mb Everything else is all really under 1mb. Is there some other files or something lurking on my phone memory that shouldn't be there?

HTC Desire :: Reducing Internal Memory
I've just been trying to download the latest update for the HTC Desire on Vodafone, but I can't install it, due to lack of internal memory. I have checked all my apps & the ones I can "move to SD" have all been moved, but some apps won't give me the option to "move to SD" My internal memory is still quite full (129mb out of 147mb) Is there a way of moving stuff from the internal memory to my SD card?

HTC Desire :: Having Trouble With Memory & Music
I was having trouble getting an album icon to show up when transferring from pc to phone. I ended up trying to sync the album from Windows Media Player but it started syncing EVERYTHING so I stopped it. Then when I plugged it into the pc again it said I'd only got 1gb of memory on the card when I started it was 3.6gb. I've officially only put 6 albums on about 400mb in total yet spent 2.6gb. I'm assuming the tracks I accidentally synced are the cause yet when I open up the drive there's no sign of them. Anyone any ideas how or where I can find them & remove them?

HTC Desire :: Internal Memory Is Low / Getting Message
Now a big problem is with an unrooted handset you start off with low internal memory as it is, but after I got the low memory message after numerous times I thought perhaps I would start deleting apps, unneeded texts, limiting the amount of emails and texts that my phone will store at once. That fixed the problem for a while but over time I would keep getting the numerous low memory messages again. Now I'm at the point where I have around 8 apps that weren't included with the phone and I keep getting the message. I know if I were to restore the phone to factory then this would fix it temporarily but after another month of use I'm sure it'll do it again. Any tips?

HTC Desire :: Bluetooth Memory Stick
Has anyone come across a viable bluetooth flashdrive? I know Seagate launched one a year or so ago (Seagate DAVE) but it seems to have disappeared. Essentially I want to carry an external HDD drive with me, bluetooth enabled, so I can stream avi and mp3 to my Desire whilst traveling.I have a 16gb SD card in the phone but really want much more memory to be accessible.Best option is if/when the OS and h/w manufacturers allow non-powered usb sticks to connect with the phone. But until then I'll use bluetooth if such a memory stick exists!

HTC Desire : Memory - Ability To Put Apps On SD
Own a Desire, which I love.. I can mess about on it all day and never get bored. I am however frustrated by the fact we have the ability to put apps on SD but not many developers allow there apps to run from the SD card?? Google are poor at this also! Just wondering if any one knew why developers seem so unwilling?

Android :: Missing Memory For Apps On HTC Desire
I had 18mb internal memory free for apps and after installing an epub reader i kept getting the message running low on memory.I uninstalled it and did a reboot and now i have 70mb free and all the existing apps are running fine.Somehow i have managed to free up a huge amount of lost space which I assume was being taken up by apps not uninstalling correctly.Either way i'm happy until froyo comes out.Just wish I knew where the memory keeps disappearing to over time.

HTC Desire :: Error Moving Apps To SD Memory
Since moving to Froyo I have noticed a problem.there are only a few apps at the moment that you are able to move to the SD card and I have noticed that when you I do move the app my internal memory does not increase back up. eg: say i have 110mb free internal memory and I install a 10mb app knocking internal down to 100mb if I "move app to SD card" it does transfer but my internal is still 100mb. Am i being completely stupid and missing something or have any of you guys had a similar prob?

HTC Desire :: Running Services - Memory Info
We have a info bar at the bottom of the following menu: Settings > Applications > Running Services Avail: XXXMB+X.XXB in XYZ_____________________Other: X.XXB in XYZ Is anyone able to explain what XXX and XYZ are please? I am guessing XXX = memory taken up and XYZ = number of processes? But it doesn't make sense to say: Avail: 32MB + 0.00B in 31 processes What are considered 'good', 'bad' and optimal figures here?

HTC Desire :: Internal Memory Almost Full - But How Can Reduce?
This is a problem that has been annoying me for some time, but has recently become ridiculous. As we all know the internal memory is pretty small on the Desire, and i've tried to be conservative with the apps I install (unless I know they can be moved to SD). However, despite this i'm constantly low in internal memory. at the moment, the only apps i have installed on the internal memory are beautiful widgets (1.36mb), colornote (524kb), facebook (3.05mb), mixzing (3.70mb), multicon (316kb), swiftkey (1.84mb), (tasker (1.43mb), voice search (2.54mb) .everything else I have moved to the SD card via app2sd or through the recently posted trick to get all apps to automatically install to SD. As you can see, the apps I have installed (obviously this excludes all the various htc stuff that comes preinstalled etc) falls far short of the supposed 148mb that i have available to install apps, so can anyone shed any light on what might be going on? I've tried clearing various caches to try and free up some spece but this has barely had any impact and this is truly starting to bug me. I've got a desire on 2.2

HTC Desire :: Internal Memory Suddenly Full
I've been running with about 15-20mb of memory left for the last couple of months perfectly happily, haven't installed any new apps etc. This morning when I woke up the phone was suddenly reading completely full with something like 44kb of internal memory left. I went through and deleted a bunch of apps, emptied various caches and got the memory back down to 130mb of the 147mb. Now, I've had my phone on charge all afternoon, maybe 3 texts and 5 emails have come in and all of a suddenly the memory is totally full again! Most apps now force close because there's not enough memory to run them but something is obviously just filling up the memory somehow. Anybody else have this problem, or any ideas how to solve it?

HTC Desire :: Should Facebook Really Be Using 40MB Of Internal Memory?
All my internal memory has almost gone, most of it is being used by facebook (40MB). I have a feeling that this is due to facebook pictures being pulled onto my phone using 'facebook sync' app. (350 contacts, and somehow 900 pictures). I have disabled all my facebook contacts by unsyncing it, but it does not delete the data. If i backup all my contacts & apps/settings and do a factory reset will this solve the issue?

HTC Desire : CoPilot / Memory / Push Gmail
