Help Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low...????

I too had this problem, cleared FB and problem solved. Went from 32mb free to 103mb free. I was also having a problem with sync. As soon as I cleared FB, my sync began to work again.
 
I need to know if anyone resolved this issue... low space on internal memory???

DONT TELL ME TO DELETE APPS... im not an IDIOT... NSS
everything is moved to my SD card...

now can someone PLEASE tell me what the issue is here with the memory getting eaten up... and how you fixed it..

i did a factory restore before but i dont want to do that.. is there anything else that i can do?

thanks:)
 
I have the evo 4g from sprint & am not sure what is eating up my internal storage. The logical answer someone will reply with is too many apps, but I do not have that many, constantly delete them & the apps that I do have are all moved to my sd card. Well except for the ridiculous apps that sprint keeps on your phone like blockbuster & nascar.

It says I have 383mb used and only 43mb free for my internal storage. Where as my sd card is 837mb used and 6.7gb free.

What other options can I try to free up space? I just exported all of my contacts to my sd card, then deleted all my contacts from my phone & then imported them back in. I thought maybe my contacts were on my phone but that did not change it from 43mb at all.

The only thing I can think of is maybe its my text messages? Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the Forums!!!!:D


Erase text messages/stored emails.
Clearing cache in the apps can help free up space as well.
If your not rooted, thats about all you can do. Sadly when you transfer apps to the SD card it only transfers part of the app. Our old EVO's only have so much internal memory...

If you root the phone you are able to put the whole app on the SD card if you partition it...

As an example: I have lots of very big games installed, and I still have 303MB free on the internal memory of the phone.
 
thank you. i only have 6mb of emails on the phone as i have my phone set to erase emails every day. is there a way i can see how much space is being taken up by text messages? that could definitely be an issue.

my phone is not rooted, but maybe thats the next step.
 
I have deleted about 2,000 total text messages from about 10 different people & it has not changed my space issue at all. In fact I actually have slightly less space available now then I did before I deleted the text. Does reformatting really clear up this issue? Or would it just bring me back to the same point once I reload all of my apps?
 
I tried to find a way to free up memory on my HTC Evo 4G all over the web with no luck, other than a hard reset on the phone or deleting apps. I also tried to find a way to delete 'stock' apps that took up space, but I didn't use. Nothing freed up a lot of space, so I decided to 'Uninstall' Updates to all the apps I did not use but could not delete. It freed up over 100MB of internal memory, often opeing up more free space than the app was reported to be. Here are the apps I uninstalled updates to and opened up 100MB:

Amazon MP3
Sprint Football
Blockbuster
Nascar
Nova
Qik
Kindle (I use but the update added 10MB)
 
Just my two cents....

I too am having Storage space problems.

One app I use that seems to help a little is Android Assistant.
It has a program feature that includes an App2SD function. It also has a Clear Cashe function and a System Clean function.
Of course all of the functions I mentioned can be done through the Setting Menu, but Android Assistant makes the process easier.

Also I agree with the previous poster, never use Automatic Update. My reasons are that Auto Update has always caused my phone to freeze with all of the apps trying to update all at once. Also, by forcing all the apps to Manual update, I have been able to avoid updating apps I don't use such as Facebook, Blockbuster, Kindle, and Amazon MP3.
 
My main problem here is the Mail app. It's the largest app that I still have internally installed. So I deleted my account and downloaded the Yahoo app to use it instead but it still shows 35.18MB being used by the Mail app. What can I do to clear this?

well then there is not much else you can do. if you are rooted then you should look into partitioning the card. if you are not rooted then you should think about rooting the phone and then partition the card. or the other thing that you can do is to get a different phone.
