Hey,
What would be the easiest way to get rid of FB/Flickr sync ... it appears that FB/Flickr data is stored on internal memory and by my estimates is hogging way too much storage space for no good reason. Contact photos etc should really be saved to SD card ... sigh.
This whole tiny internal memory and inability to store data such as this on SD card is really getting to me. I only have a hand full of apps installed ... according to ASTRO my installed apps add up to around 50Mb and according to SD & Phone Storage I only have 30Mb left ...
Cheers.

I think it would be best way to ask 2 questions in a thread. So here I go,
I bought my WF S 2 days ago, so far everything is good but noticed that there is a huge 3g traffic on my phone:
1-) Calendar Storage app is sucked around 17 mb in 1.5 days, I have Facebook, Google and Twitter accounts synched in the phone. My calendars are damn empty, not single thing, it only shows birthdays of the people on my Facebook, and that's it. But this little damn thing how come uses 17 mb of internet ? There is no way to set it up to sync only one time a day, only chance is setting it sync off. Is there a solution for this problem?
2-) I followed a method that I change default storage of my phone to SD card instead of phone internal memory with Android sdk, so now programs directly gets installed to SD card, and I can move them to SD card with App2SD app, but somehow, there is only 30 mb of internal memory left on my phone. I tried deleting caches and other stuff but still don't know what is sucking up this much memory on my phone. Is there a solution for that? I don't have many apps installed (only around 15 maybe) and no games at all.
Device is S-On and non rooted, so I can't follow any suggestions requiring those two things.
You would save more memory if you don't sync Facebook etc to the phone.
If you root the phone you'll be able to delete some fixed apps and save even more memory.

Frustrating. Lost my contact history, messages, pinned tiles.Linked contacts gone.
The phone just shut off by itself, on turning it back on, i got this message
Seems like error on internal memory - in this case 'tis SD card. It could have died... check settings -> about, how much space does it show (both total and free).
I agree with the last post it seems to be memory, it could be the micro SD card or the card holder not making good contact with the card, if this happens again I would take the phone back if it is still under warranty.
And about your contacts, if you synced your phone with your windows live account the next time you sync all your contacts will come back, and if you look in zune you can see all your apps and you will be able to re-download them, some apps will automatically come back when you sync. Hope this helps.
It's not the memory card. My sync'd Music shows up fine. Only issue is with the apps and my contacts, messages. AFAIK, the contacts/messages are saved on the main memory.
The amount of total storage:14.63gb

The way windows phone 7 memory works is, when you first inscert a new memory card windows will ask you to format the card and when you do this it creates a raid like image called span, that means it and the onboard memory becomes one. so your onboard memory may be bad or you might have a bad block on the memory card. Have you got this error again? or is it still giving you the error?

Nope, Just happened once.
I had this error quite a couple of times now, most definitely due to my device having some sort of hardware failure. But I never lost any apps, media or even save games. All I lost were contacts, emails and e-mail settings. I just had to set up these from scratch and I was fine again.
Ok so as we all know this is the folder that gives us the low on storage message when we get under 15mb of space left. But this folders data numbers are going crazy on me. For instance I moved a few bigger apps (like google earth and google plus) to the sd card and had about 20mb left, but after using the phone for 2 days straight I checked and only had about 1.5mb left. Now to lose 18mb to cache is kinda crazy but after restarting the phone the number jumped back up to about 16mb free. Seems this problem keeps happening to me in Ginerbread only and I am getting tired of keep getting that low on space message.
I dont think any one has found a fix for it other than using apps such as link2sd and notenoughspace. I use the link2sd app my self, it moves the apk, dalvik, and lib files to a sd card extension.
possible fix
You should check out jermaine151's Stock+ version 2.1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260994. I can't personally vouch for it as he just released it and it's a little late to start reinstalling everything, but it looks promising.
ok i know i have a butt ton of pics but is there any other way to free up some space? I cleared all my txt messages and cleaned the history and cookies... also went in and cleared cache on some programs

Pictures by default should save to the SD card. Text messages, internet history and cookies have nothing to do with that.
Clearing the cache on programs on your SD card might help a little bit. But bottom line buy a bigger SD card for more space on that end.
Internal memory... Well you can move what apps can be moved to the SD card or delete a bunch of stuff. Or you can convert to a MTD rom (if you aren't already). MTD roms use a different partition in the phone, and it has almost double the internal memory.

I took a bunch of pictures and videos on my phone and I got a message in the middle of taking a pic saying that my storage space was running out and it would store the rest on the data on my external (32GB). I continued to take photos thinking that they would just save on my external. When I tried to go to the gallery app to see all the pics that I took I got another message saying (something along the lines of) some system functions will not work delete apps and data to free up disk space.
I checked my phone storage and it says I have just over 35 GB of pictures and videos. I'm not sure if that's split between SD card 0 and my external. After I deleted a ton of applications just to free up enough space to open my gallery, I only had 155 pictures and 3-4 videos. I know for a fact that there are a ton more. Are my photos gone forever? Is there any way to recover them?
