how many apps are too many? and phone memory?

More than you will use are too many.

The X has 8gig internal memory, a small amount is used for your operating system and the rest is for really nothing more than apps. So really the only down fall to having too many apps is it can slow down the app drawer loading up all the ones you have (instead of coming right up it may take a second or two).

I have over 110 and have no problems with my X and more memory than I will ever need still left.
 
You know you have too many apps when you find out about something cool and useful, go to app brain to download it, and it says its already installed, and that you have updated it twice.


Serious note, now that you can move apps to SD and well you can get a 32gb mSD card. You shouldn't have memory issues. I do know that you need say 1gb of mSD (micro SD, its probably not an official designation but I don't really care they should have called it something else to begin with) to record a movie of any length (10 minutes) and have some decent pics.

Phone memory, I haven't even gotten close to tapping that out.

LOL, I've done this a couple times and my gf said I need an app intervention. :)
 
You know you've reached the one and only Holy Grail of all apps when you can telepathically tap a widget and be transported instantly to a tropical remote garden island with 15 lonely virgins!
 
I have close to 240 apps on my DX, and still have plenty of space left for more, so as far as in concerned, there is no such thing as "too many" apps. Just keep installing them until you are out of memory or some rogue app causes phone problems. Otherwise, you paid for that memory and data, use it!

you need to check the market for the update. you now get 25 vigrins and 1 million dollars. in the comments the dev said the nex update will include a flying car and a magical unicorn. can wait.
 

Nice. And that 42nd app better be the random improbability drive, complete with cup o tea.

Is this the same app that claims the ///////// extension. figures do you have to send your back account number to someone in Nariobi, or Kenya?

And forget 25 virgins, 1 or 2 maybe, but lets face it all you really want is hot women. Don't discriminate, its all pink on the inside, well unless you are captain kirk.

When it takes an hour to get all your updates, you have too many apps ;)

It it takes an hour on wifi N, you have issues this is true.
 
I got a notification that I was running out of space on my phone. I did some digging and discovered that all my apps were on the phone instead of the sd card. I moved them over manually which was a pain in the but. How do I adjust the settings so apps go straight to the sd card?
Not that it helps now, but Titanium Backup Donate version could have batch moved them for you.

Do you have the X? The X has 8 gig of internal memory, do you have one app that has huge files with it that are taking up all your space? I have over 150 apps and I still have 6 gig of internal memory left.
 
I was about to ask, what the hell are you using? Biggest app I have is NOOK at 16mb.

Wonder why Google apps can't move to SD card (maps, search, etc)
 
I've installed ~ 50 apps/widgets (not including those installed by Verizon), and it's barely made a dent:

SD card: 14.63gb available out of 14.83gb
Internal storage: 6.15gb avail out of 8gb (and I assume the OS takes up most of that used space)
 
If you decide to upgrade the 16gb card, be careful if upgrading to a 32gb external micro sd card. I got a killer deal off ebay and it didn't work. Search these forums for more info.
