1) After install application, message appear " low memory space" my question is why is to so...how to install application and save to sd card.
2) How to change a song for incoming call and sms using a music. because original song in the phone is so bored.
On Sunday I started getting the message "Low on space Phone Storage space is getting low." on the status bar. When I tap it, I'm taken to the "Manage Applications" screen, so it's clear that the message refers to the "Phone Memory," where apps are stored But when I go to Settings > SD card & phone storage here's what I see:
SD Card Total Space: 14.83GB
SD Card Available Space: 6.15GB
Internal Phone Storage Total Space: 6.60GB
Internal Phone Storage Available Space: 6.51GB
Phone Memory Total Space: 748MB
Phone Memory Available Space: 332MB
I've googled looking for solutions and it's obvious that this is a fairly common problem - especially on HTC phones. But the only possible solutions I've found are:
Too many apps are installed & space really is running low
A "bad" app was recently installed causing this error
Clear the cache for HTC Mail and HTC Message apps
Perform a Factory Reset We can rule this out since there is more than 44% of the Phone Memory available.
I didn't install any apps immediately before getting the message, but to be sure I uninstalled the 10 most recently added apps. No luck.
I've gone to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, but the cache for these apps is already zero. The "Data" for Mail is 2.22MB and for Messages is 812KB.
This isn't fixing the problem, it's just a way to eliminate whatever condition has caused the symptom. But without an explanation of the actual problem I see no reason to think the problem won't come back in another two months.
When i try to instal Titanium Backup i always see a message that i dont have enough space but i have 1,5 gb free.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been having a problem with my desire home screen (in particular the sms icon) and I'm wondering if anyone else knows how to fix it.
Recently my messages icon has been showing the little "1" in a green circle indicating I have an unread message. Problem is, I've gone through every list of messages I have on the device and there are no messages I haven't read and the "1" stays there. The only ways I've found to get rid of it are to either delete the icon and then put it back or to use Advance Task Killer and kill messages application. I'm not using any fancy apps for messages, just the default one.
My email counter is always perfect, this only seems to affect my sms. Also, my girlfriend told me she sent me a message a few days ago, but I never received it. Not sure if that's a happy coincidence, or if the phone got the message, is telling me I haven't read it, but isn't displaying it for me to see. All the other messages from her are plainly visible.
I have an HTC incredible and a ton of free memory (579MB to be exact) but still getting this low space message.
I've cleared the browser cache and I've also removed some apps but the error is still there and I can't delete any new apps.
I've just downloaded my mp3 library to the phone (using the mass storage usb connection method) and when I try to select "artists" as the way to select music to play I get this error "Not enough space in the Music database" in the header of the phone and the player shuts down. Any thoughts on what I can do about this? There's 9.5 GB of space on the internal sd card and 2.2 GB of space free on the external 16 GB card.

Have 11G of 14 on SD card, but only 25MB free on internal phone storage.
Just got a text message that wouldnt come thru, and it said 'no text message space left'.
Just uninstalled somethings that were 10MB, now giving me 35MB free but
I keep getting texts, the phone vibrates , which it wasn't set to do, and says 'text memory full'. I am assuming it is vibrating to give me a warning.
Can I clear some of the text memory, or must I clear all of it. And if so for either, how do I do this.
I have moved apps to sd card that makes sense.
How can I free up more space.
When I send text messages to individual it sends them as plain SMS, this works with my free allocation of texts.When I send text messages to a group (a list of 7 individuals) it sends them as 7 "Picture Messages" - this costs me money!. The message has no pictures and is short?How can I force the phone to not send picture messages?

I've tried to clear all the cache and remove apps that I don't need but still keep getting these errors. My device is only showing that I have 147MB of memory when I thought these devices had 512MB? I've spoken to other non-rooted desire users and they say they have never had this problem. Its a little frustrating that I need to keep removing applications and stuff.

View 31 Replies View RelatedYesterday 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?
I recently installed the modaco r8 version of Android on my desire. Then when I wanted to install bash and nano, I found out that the system partition was out of space. I can't even create symbolic links on it. And yes, I did remember to remount the drive I used the df command to check the remaining space, and there is about 3 bytes left.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm running 2.1 on the Cellular South East network. I have received a notification that my Desire since is low on space, but I have over 100 mb of free memory. After a bit of research, I read that I should try to clear application caches. I used the application manager but the "clear cache " button for each application is greyed-out. I then read to wait a minute or so to allow all data to load. I waited 3 minutes, but I still couldn't clear any caches. Why I can't clear a cache?

View 3 Replies View RelatedBeen having a lot of problems with low storage on my phone.
I currently have about 8 apps installed on my phone other than the stock ones. I've tried clearing the cache, deleting data, and even when I sort my apps by size, the largest is 5mb (chompSMS). I've checked the mail app and that's not huge, neither is contacts. I cannot see what is taking up so much space constantly.
Is this a faulty phone, or is there something I've not tried?
I've noticed that there is a lot of mis typing that Happens on this keyboard. Without the good correction Software I would be typing rubbish Was thinking that more space between smaller keys Might improve accuracy

View 13 Replies View RelatedWhile on holiday my HTC Desire starting reporting that it was running out of space. It could never figure exactly what was taking up the space unfortunately, but I assume one of my apps was using a stupid amount of data.
Anyway on the last day of my holiday the phone refused to boot at all. It shows the HTC screen, then the carriers custom splash screen (T-Mobile), then reboots and goes back to the HTC screen in an endless loop.
I booted the device into the recovery console and received the following errors:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Error in DATA:data/recovery/log
(No Space left on device)
I'm aware that I could do a factory reset, but I don't really want to lose all of my apps, scenes and other data if I can possibly help it.
I found one site where a guy claimed to have been able to fix the problem by connecting to the device using adb and then deleting some files, but I can't get adb to recognise the phone. 'adb devices' always returns nothing.
So, can anyone tell me how to get my phone (which won't boot into anything other than fastboot and recovery) to connect to adb so I can wipe some files? Will the phone have to be rooted to do this? (It isn't).
Do I have any other options other than a factory reset?
Just got myself a desire (unlocked and unbranded). I check today for updates and a message came on the screen saying the 2.2 update was available. I only have 36MB of space left on the phone (installed quite a few apps)yet the update is a massive 91MB. Will I need to uninstall apps to install the update?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering though how people handle being so close to the limit. My problems seem to come when I update my apps. Despite no reason for space increase when I update them I regularly lose space. Today I update a couple of apps and it pushed me over the limit, so I had to go in a find a few I don't use and remove them. That left me with supposed about 15.5mb left, but now it's gone down to 14.95, despite no apps being added, so I can see a warning coming soon. One thing I have noticed is that for some apps removing them completely, and then added them back again seems to gain you some space.
It unfortunately is just blind luck in finding ones that will happen for, or at least it seems to be so to me. Also very annoying is that the space you clear by deleting apps doesn't seem to correspond with what you get back. I just cleared supposedly 1.5mb of cache from the web browser, yet I only got 500kb of space back? Obviously I've been through all the apps and looked for any that I can clear the cache for. One thing I would like to know is why the low space warning has to come at ~15mb? Seems to be I've always got that space just wasted, which is a pain as there are plenty of 200-300kb apps I could add, using just 5mb of the space.
Until Froyo arrives this is an ongoing issue for those of us who have not rooted. I thought it would be useful to have a thread collating tips for managing the space effectively.The phone has 147mb of space available when new. The cut off point for the low space warning in the notification bar is 14mb.When the low space warning shows then you can't install any new apps or update any existing ones. You also can't send any texts.
Here are some tips I have posted for managing space efficiently:
1. Use Astro file manager to back up apps to sd card. You can then uninstall some of the larger apps such as games which are not played frequently. Then if you want to use that app again you can reinstall direct from the sd card in a matter of seconds (even if you have a low space warning).
2. Regularly clear cache by going into menu / settings / applications / manage applications / menu / sort by size. Click on the largest ones such as maps and internet and see if there is any cache which can be cleared.
3. Check email settings. Email will take up much more space if you have it set to download the last two weeks rather than just the last couple of days. You can also set limits on file sizes and number of emails to download.
4. Check settings for any RSS and news feeds you may have. Try and set them to limit the number of items and to automatically clear themselves after a couple of days.
5. Regularly reboot the phone. Sometimes if you uninstall something or clear cache the free space does not appear straight away and only shows up when you reboot the phone.
6. Mini Info is a good widget for monitoring the free space available
I've noticed quite a few posts saying that Facebook and Contacts are taking up large amounts of space. This is not an issue I've had personally as I don't use Facebook. If anyone has any tips or comments on how to manage this effectively then please add them.
I got my HTC desire yesterday and today Iran out of memory. I installed maximum 10 apps (news and stuff only) and most of them I cannot transfer (app2sd) to memory card. I see that I have 147mb and only 20 available. What can I do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIm totally new to the smartphone/android topic and very happy that i managed to partition/debrand/root my Desire and flashed LeDroids Rom on it! ^^ ( im a windows XP user )But i have some questions about my partition and filesystem: I have a 4 GB SDCARD and a 512MB Partition on it for the apps. So i figured out there is a mnt folder that seems to be like an exact copy of my SDCARD folder.
How do i know what my partition is ?
And how do i know how much space is left there for Apps?
When i plug in my Phone via micro usb and browse my SD card i dont see a MNT folder. Does that mean the MNT folder is the main partition (3,5bg?) ? Because when i download a youtube video via jetVD (i was prompted to use a download folder on my SDCARD) it saves the videos under: mntsdcardmovies (also my player shows the path to that directory)but the movie files are also available under: sdcardmovies
Could somebody explain that. btw: i use the app SUFBS to browse the SDCARD on my Desire.
Went to install Need For Speed shift on my phone a few days ago, but it wouldn't install due to space. I went in and removed a few apps, one of which was my co pilot Sat Nav, which I think was 25mb alone. NFS still wouldn't install so I removed a few more apps. Suddenly my I got a message saying space on phone was low. This did not appear even before I removed apps including co pilot. When I check my memory it says there is 12mb free. It should be a lot more than that with copilot off the phone. So I should have a lot more free than that and should not be getting these messages. Is there any way to get the phone to recheck free space?

Is there a way of clearing the data not uninstalling apps if so what data does it clear?
