Morning all, this might be a stupid question - but has anyone ever ran out of space using the calendar feature?
I don't put emails on the phone, and any files I do have sit on the 4gb sd card.
Um please be more specific? what do you mean?
I mean that I use my calendary pretty heavily..just wondering how much space the calendar uses - or if there is a way to have the calendar info saved to the SD Card.
I don't think callendar makes some big files - there is text and some settings, and this is mobile app - all mobile app use less space, but MS are stupid sometimes - 100 lines in access = 10MB...

Hi,
Posting on behalf of a friend who has a XDA III - which I must say I do quite like. Anyway - hes going to get a MMC card (anyone know what the maximum it will take though but hes getting a 512mb I rekon), and he wants to know - as his current email folder is like 178mb - and he wants to sync the lot and wants the emails stored on the mmc card.
Is this possible?

Hi
It is possible to store attachments on card (by options).
I'm not sure but it should also possible to select location for mail by registry.
That depends if the mail itself is so huge or attachments....
It's a bit crazy to keep so much email stuff on handheld..
Another thing... get SD instead of MMC. it's faster.
I have 10MB on my device. I keep all photos and videos on my storage card so I'm wondering if the rom has accumulated temps files, email, or other things that I could remove.
Any suggestions are welcome.

do you install all your programs on your phone or your storage card. most programs will work fine if they are installed on the storage card.

I would first delete all old text, mms, emails, call list, missed call list , then go into the deleted item folders for each one of those and delete those also, because when you delete messages( sms,mms,email ) they move to the deleted items folders. check my documents for old files /stuff you don't need anymore, move any pics , music , from device to storage card. Second you can use sktools to autoclean the phone's cache's and cookies, it removes bad shortcuts and temp folders. Now I'm not saying you'll get mayor space, but those things help quite a bit.
Also reinstall programs to SD card the only things you want on device mem is startup programs "so programs that launch on bootup" & i'd do the same with media player to take load off storage card.

Cool, thanks for the replies. I'd say just about the only media players installed on the device are what came with the ROM. I cleared out all of the old MMS messages and texts. I don't really do email on the phone because I don't have internet on my plan. I do need to check that though. I've used my wifi to get email before I'm sure...yay sktools lol
Hi
I'm looking for some way to store the onenote files in the storage card instead of \Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I looked in the registry but didn't find the setting or something that helps me
Anybody here has any solutions?
Is there a solution to this? My Onenotes are filling up the small 219MB of main memory and I'm getting memory full message on phone. Plenty of space on storage card, how can OneNote use storage card space instead of main memory?
cant you guys just copy the files in File Explorer and make a OneNote folder in the Storage card root? I don't know how you can have them saved on SD card by default, but I don't think copying them to the card is a big deal after you write a new note.
I'm using the HTC supplied WM6.5 and the OneNote Mobile offers no options to open files anywhere but the main memory. One can copy the notes to SD card to make space, but there is no way OneNote mobile can open them from that source even using file explorer and choosing OneNote as program to open file. It appears a limitation of OneNote.
I've asked HTC for their opinion, siince they sold the phone with OneNote and a small main memory size. No reply so far.
Got a reply from HTC who suggest a hard reset and not a mention of Microsoft or OneNote Mobile! Wtf, thanks.
Wow that's pretty messed up. Why on Earth would they suggest a hard reset? Sounds like the person you spoke with has no idea what it is that you're looking to do. I hope you find a solution to your query.
I don't know of this helps, but I use the "Notes" app located within Outlook. There you can set the program to save notes to the SD card and it saves a lot of room. I don't know if your current program is needed for your particular needs, but maybe you could try it?
Actually I replied to HTC and told them I did the hard reset and it didn't work. (I didn't actually do it as I know its a waste of time!). They are looking at it further and I'm waiting on reply with ticket still unclosed on my support question.
Basically I'm trying to get them to agree OneNote isn't suited to their phone which they have sold me and see what they respond with. Still waiting
I have writen down the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11100039#post11100039, hope it can make some helps.

This looks good for saving attachments to OneNote on SD card and works, thanks.
Does anyone know what this is? I had 25mb of internal storage free and then suddenly this popped up in the applications list, takes up 15mb and now the "low storage" notification keeps showing up.
It's com.htc.socialnetwork.provider and that space is taken up by Facebook related data.

The Facebook app is already taking up almost 10mb and Contacts Storage is taking up 20. Are Facebooks contacts counted in Contacts Storage or somewhere else? I don't remember seeing the com.htc.socialnetwork.provider taking up this much space.

facebook contacts are stored in contacts storage, and com.htc.socialnetwork.provider.apk has always been there, its nessesary to run the integrated social network elements in htc sence, its stores your usernames, passwords and other related data, i used to periodically clear the data for all the things like that to reclaim some space (that was before i changed the mtd partitions on my device) lol

Oh, somehow I never noticed it before. Does yours take up 15mb of space too? Seems like a lot.

Oh ok. I have about 650 Facebook friends, and I don't use Twitter. I think it wastes a lot of space on my phone downloading all the friends, it would be nice if you could set it to just download the friends you've linked and ignore the rest.
So if I don't use Fakebook or Twitter, is it safe to remove com.htc.socialnetwork.provider completely (e.g. freezing it with Titanium Backup)?

If you don't use Facebook, I'd assume it wouldn't take up much space on your phone anyway, right?
It's really starting to annoy me how just my contacts seem to take up almost all the space on the phone and there's no room to download any new apps. Now I know why people like iPhones.

Yes. I have them all removed including their widgets. The ROM functions as normal.

I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync, and I unchecked the options to sync my Facebook contacts and feeds. But all of the contacts that it's already downloaded are still on the phone, how do I clear them? Also, will I be able to sync individual contacts if I want to, or is it all or nothing?
Thank you, th3 - that's exactly what I wanted to read I already froze all the other stuff, I just wasn't sure about this one.
Hello everyone..
So I while managing pictures on my SD card, I noticed something that is making dumping/importing pictures to my PC, a nightmare.
I think I have a solution, but the app (MoveToSdcard), is giving the following message: "SD Card shares the same disk with os"
Looking at some of the file/folder structure, I think I know what's happening, but I don't know how to fix without breaking stuff.
What I'm trying to do is move all apps that will every have pictures associated with them, to the SDCard. This will allow me to export (and worry) only pictures from the SDCard and delete them like I normally would with my iPhone.
Anyone know of a way to resolve this or have a suggestion on how to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Why do I want to dump my pictures? I put them on a NAS, back them up to various cloud services. I also place my none mobile photo work on this NAS an upload them as well.

I'm having a hard time understanding specifically what you are trying to do. But if the end goal is back up pictures to your NAS then I suggest downloading "Sweet Home! Alfa". It will allow you to select which albums to backup and automatically do it for you based on preference (for example, I have mine setup to do it when I'm connected to my home network and plug my phone in to charge".
You can set it to automatically delete photos off you device once backed up too if you want. Managing albums can be done through the stock gallery app or through a file explorer.
Hope this helps.
BTW, /sdcard actually refers to internal storage. So if you are trying to move apps to /sdcard, that it why you are getting the error. You are telling it to move an app from internal storage to internal storage which doesn't make sense to the app
Hi Artimis! Yea. I'm sorry about how I laid out the thread. Not clear at all. Basically, there are pictures everywhere
I use several apps - Instagram, Photoshop, SquareDroid, Afterfocus, Lapse It, Viva Video, etc. Each one of these apps either place the completed edits/export in their own folder, located in the app's directory, respectively.
When I pull out the SDCard and put it into my machine to dump/export them, not all the pictures are there, because some of the pictures are in their respective app exported folders and those are on the Internal SD.
This now forces me to hunt around and hope I've located all the possible directories and pictures.
If Instead relocate the apps to the SD card, the export folders would also be there, making it one less and easy step to ensure that all possible pictures/directories are accounted for.
Make any sense? Sorry about that.
Now the app you recommended takes it to a whole other level! This is awesome! and it detects new photo directories, created anywhere on the phone or SD card! This more or less solves my whole problem! WOW! Thank you!
As for the whole SD thing, I'm confused. Not a big deal though since all pictures and videos (all big in size) taken using XCam end up on the true SDCard. All the other pictures scattered about are not large in size and I'm not concerned about it. It's just a pain to hunt them down and dump/export them.
This app you suggested though is perfect and solves my problem, and then some!
Thanks Artimis!
wouldn't it be easier to just use Dropbox's import feature or even their auto saving of pictures? Of course letting G+ save them is also a more practical solution, I use both, and would be less time consuming
Yes, I use them as well. They work well. The goal is not to move away from any of them either. The goal is to save them locally to my NAS and at the same time, recover the space back on the device/SDCard.
The program that Artimis recommended takes care of all these issues.
I'm good! Thanks!

Does your phone actually have an sdcard in it (it would show up as something like /external_SD through the file system). As I mentioned before, /sdcard actually refers to the phones internal storage. It is a symlinked directory that emulates an sdcard but is mapped to /data/media.
So you will get this error with an app trying to move something from /data/app to /sdcard because it is actually trying to move it to /data/media/.. which doesn't do any good.
If you do have an actual external sdcard (/external_SD) then the problem could be due to the write protection changes implemented in kit kat. There are threads on how to fix this if you are rooted.
I do I have an SD card in my tablet and I supposedly already did an SD card fix for Kit Kat but I will look into it thanks.
i have micromax canvas juice 2 .... i inserted 16gb sd card but iam not able to move apps to my sd card ..... please help me
