apps downloads

[cthom]

so i have between 12-15 mb internal mem and i know i'm not going to be able to update any of my apps. i've tried as low as 475kb and no joy. so i tried updating a few today and as usual just got the 'insufficient storage' nonsense. except... drawsomething, at around 7MB, happily updated >.>

w.t.f..? is there ANY way of getting the others to update?

Hi and welcome to AF.

I believe the biggest drawback of wildfire s is the memory. Unfortunately we all struggle with internal memory. However, if you are willing to root your phone, there are ways around it. Otherwise, you should check out this site:

thanks, i'll give option 2 a go. i just don't understand how it can update a 7mb app after saying it has insufficient storage to update a 417 kb app. more annoying is it only tells you this AFTER it downloads the updates... not fun if you're on payg data. :/

If you happen to ever want to root your phone at some point, a good app is DroidSail Super Apps2SD. It will move more over than just the regular Apps2SD will and it's free. It's always an option when you have a rooted phone, that way you can either get rid of more or move more over to the SD card. I have about 60 to 70mb of internal memory and that was after I deleted all the unnecessary apps that came with the phone and moved everything else to SD.

Before that, I had maybe 10mb left and it was driving me crazy.
