Hi, Just wondering if anyone has tried this game?
http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=311
I ran it on my HD2, and it loads the title screen, then crashes. I originally had 70 meg storage memory free, but i have also tried it with having 140 meg free.
It doesnt matter how much space is free. Every time i run the game, before the main menu, it simply stuffs the volatile folder with game data till it crashes because the phone has run out of storage space. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this and had any different, or similar results?
Edit: Sorry i think i accidentally put this in the wrong section. Was aiming for Apps and Games........
All is ok here on my emulator.
So I've been living in a low-tech bubble and just got the OTA, tried searching for answers on why G-mail no longer syncs and why I get a false low space warning... didn't find anything too helpful in a hurry... Throwing myself at your mercy. TIA

You mentioned it's a false warning. Are you sure that it is? The partition where your apps and associated data is stored is ludicrously small, 150MB, even though your app manager will show you all of your free internal space. When you go into manage apps and sort by size, what are your 5 largest apps and the space listed for them?
Do you store your contacts on your phone or do they live on Gmail?
Are you syncing FB contact information for you contacts as well?
The reason I ask: My g/f has a HTC Desire and had this issue 2 days after she had the phone, had 2 apps installed from the Market. WTF right?! Her contact storage was over 90 MB itself, which were phone contacts. I took the time to input all of those contacts she had into Gmail, and cleared contact storage. I also rooted her phone.
I disabled FB syncing for her contacts, as that was also contributing to ballooning storage for her contacts. Since doing this, she hasn't had this issue. That phone is plagued with that issue, but you may want to see what apps are taking up a ton of space, clear their caches like previously stated by "Haus".
EDIT: Gmail may not be syncing due to the low space warning, and you won't be able to send/receive texts either. Do have a ton of old texts that you save? You may want to delete some of those as well if you do.
My internal memory lists 500mb unused. I store everything possible on SD. Contacts via gmail. I do sync FB for the image avatars, but with the above mentioned space I can't see how that alone would cause the issue. All of this started after the OTA yesterday... Leads me to believe that there is an issue outside of my storage space, something tied to the update. Found random posts on other forums this AM where MANY others had same 2 issues resulting right after their OTA but most were from Sept. I figured these would be old news, with quick fixes by now... Anyone else seen this?

Even though it lists 500 MB free, the DInc only has 150 MB total partitioned for apps (which is referring to the /data/data partition). When it gets close to that 150 MB, you'd get that warning.
Are you rooted?
There is a work around for this, but you'd have to be rooted running a ROM like Jermaine's Stock+, and there's a mod which increases the 150 MB /data/data partition to virtually unlimited. See here.
Unrooted (see post title)... so, the act of installing GB zapped up so much room that I am too close to the limit for my phone to function properly? Would GB install into the 150mb space for apps? As it's OS I'd think storage would be elsewhere? Also txting works fine atm.

Sorry, my bad, I missed that in the title. What is the size of your Contact Storage?
Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All tab at the top - scroll to Contacts Storage. It'll list the size underneath it.
Short of doing a factory reset to see if that fixes things, I'm not sure what to have you try since you are factory stock 2.3 other than contact VZW and/or HTC to see what they say. Since it wasn't happening before, and now it is, they'd either need to fix it or replace your phone.
EDIT: Also, what is the size say for com.htc.socialnetwork.provider?
EDIT 2: Menu - Settings - About phone - Software Information - Build Number, what are the numbers here? The latest OTA should have been 4.08.605.2.
So... I deleted date associated with FB and also ran the tip in the last post on the thread I linked to...
...He then had me dial a code (*#*#CHECKIN#*#*) and said if the update hadn't pushed in 72 hours to call them again. Guess I'll know by Sunday.

Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not but somewhere along the line the space error went away and gmail starting syncing... I guess I am now just concerned with will happen again the next time I have an update of any kind to apps that can't be stored on SD.
grrr.... guess I'll be looking to jump the incredible ship when my upgrade comes through in a few months.
BTW... my contacts storage reads 14MB but not sure why/how as I have no contacts stored on phone.

14 MB isn't too bad. If you have no contacts stored on your phone, you could clear that information, and Gmail will just re-sync it, so you wouldn't lose anything or delete contacts. I did see something in a post about going to an HTC link and downloading a "hotfix" file to install for this issue, but these were before this latest OTA that came out, and I couldn't find anything about anyone having success with it as far as this latest OTA is concerned.
I guess I should rephrase... I don't want to have any contacts stored purely on my phone... is there anyway to sort and see?
NM... found it... yeah, listed as 0. will delete. Thanks!

I'd missed that mod, that is going to make my wife really happy. Glad you mentioned it.

Yep, converts /data and /cache to ext4, which speeds things up as far as the file system goes. I'm just using the normal version of this mod, but I highly recommend it!
I guess I should also mention the other annoying issue... battery life is terrible after the OTA... anyone else?
a large portion of us on here have rooted our devices, and cured our phones of these ailments. No more limited data applications thanks to the Ext4 mod, and no terrible battery life thanks to custom kernels to help govern how the battery is utilized.
If you have the resources, I highly recommend rooting your incredible and installing a custom ROM
I just don't have the bandwidth in my life ATM to learn/do anything new... was just looking to see if anyone knew of a unrooted fix...
guess that is too much to hope for though
The unrooted fix is to uninstall applications and clear some caches.
Thats about it AFAIK other than wiping everything or rooting.
my wife has the incredible and up till now she wouldn't let me root her phone and now that she's on 2.3 she wants to root it and dive into the custom rom scene. i tried rooting it with unrEVOked but was unsuccessful even tried showing it a custom clockwork recovrey to flash however I still couldnt figure it out. Any "easy" way to root after going to 2.3
There's a thread, I think in Development about how to do it, looks involved but possible.
It's by Scotty1223.

Dropbox is testing a beta of their auto-upload of photos and videos feature. For each 500MB of upload you get an additional 500MB of free space up to 4.5GB. See link below for details.
http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=53013
If you don't already have a dropbox account, I can't recommend it enough to sync data between you computer and tablet. If you're curious about signing up for dropbox, do it.
Thanks, now I have some place to upload the a100 kernel once I get it built
Is it just me or they started you off with 2gb when dropbox first came around? I used the latest beta and auto uploaded some images and didn't notice how much space I had previously but now I have 2.5gb

Yeah they start you off with 2gb.. I still only have 2gb, guess I need to get uploading lots of stuff.

Good idea. I got some stuff I wanna upload too. Do they monitor it? I want to upload some of my apks, titanium backups, some movies, and update.zips.

Apks, backups, update.zips should be fine.. the last time I uploaded any mp3s and movies though they got deleted a couple days after I uploaded them /shrug.
To qualify, you have to use the beta app and upload photos and videos you take.
I simply put my camcorder on HD, let it sit on my desk taking video of a wall, stopping and re-starting it every 10 minutes or so to break up the files.
It automatically uploaded to Dropbox and increased my storage.
Once I was up to the 5 gb max, I just deleted the videos of my office wall.
(Once you get the storage, deleting files doesn't alter it.)
The nice thing they did, they removed the file size limit. Easiest way to max out is to upload some ISOs or any DVD's you have ripped. I went from 3GB to 9GB. You can load up Windows beta, Linux Beta and the Android beta. I think it is 5 GB per OS you use, that is how I got to 6 GB, unless they shut that loophole down. They bump it 500 MB for every 500 MB you upload.

Thanks for the tip. This is what I had to do for my limit to go up. In my case though I recorded between 15 to 20 minutes of video which automatically uploaded after each was done. Prior I just tried manually uploading files I already had in my sd card but that didn't increase the size limit of my dropbox.
Hey guys I just recently did a factory reset on my n4. Just because of my storage was being built up and couldn't find the cause. Before the reset my miscellaneous was 10gb. Now after its still setting at almost 9gb. I look through the folders but there's nothing there that gets even close to a gig. It's all mb and kb sized files. And all added toget her still don't make one gig. can someone explain why this is such? I didn't think it could be the rom taking this much space could it? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Possible answer as I'm no expert: if you switched to Art Runtime which the Note 4 is not optimized for, you may have lost some storage space.
Note 4
No I'm still on dilvik. Been afraid to test with reading the issues kitkat has with art. But if memory serves me I thought I started with 28gigs when I first opened and booted my n4 brand new. But can't remember for sure. Just figured I'd ask on here to see if anyone knew. Thank you for the reply
28 GBs seems awfully high. I believe that after stock ROM plus bloat you should have around 24 or 25 GBs of free space. Maybe some one else will chime in. I'm sure you'll figure out where the space is going.
Note 4
Do you have anything stored under private mode, If I am correct those files and space go missing unless its unlocked. Of course then there is the fact you factory reset.

Recently I installed CM13.1 on my Zenfone 2. Since then something has taken up around 20GB of space, so I only have around 5GB of space to use. I keep looking for things to delete in my file manager, but their simply is nothing taking up that much space. In the storage settings page it shows 4GB of apps, 1.2 GB of photos, and everything else adds up to less than half a Gig. I do remember creating a backup of my old OS, (I think through TWRP, although I can't remember for sure.) Does anyone know what could be taking up that space? Or how I could find it and delete it?
Windirstat, for Windows ..mount phone as drive n scan.Or,
DiskUsage app from store
Thanks for the App suggestion. Turns out I had 22Gigs of modem crash logs that kept growing pretty quickly!
