Somehow my space on my phone is very low. I started getting the messages this morning. I wouldn't say that I have a load of applications. No more than I had on my HTC Magic...Is this too much for it to handle?

What are my options?
1. Clear cache;
2. Remove some apps;
3. Wait for root + custom ROMs with APPS2SD
I am now wondering ... What is this "cache" ?
Do we really need to clean it periodically?
It would be nice if there is a widget to clean this.
And honestly, I am not impressed with the storage ... 512 RAM seems a lot, but actually it is NOT
I have removed Google earth as it was taking up nearly 22MB which in the grand scheme of things seems to be load of space....
I never understand why they don't a minimum of 1gb internal storage on these devices for apps.

...or just allow for apps to be installed on a memory card from the first place
Seems like that they [Android OS] have realised that without doing so, they will not be able to have storage hungry things such as games to be installed.
36 as I counted, is normal IMO. But yeah, I really hope that you will be able to install applications on your SD card in the future. Not that I want more apps, but I want BETTER apps (which means they will be more MB's). I remember downloading games for the iPod touch that were over 100 MB. They were also off very high quality.
About not allowing installing apps to SD card: I think the reason why it is not allowed is the following.. if you can install something to your SD card, you can easily share it with other over the internet, right? That will mean people will start downloading apps the 'dirty' way! That's the only reason I see.
But Google is very smart and so far keeps giving everybody what they want. I am sure they will find a solution!

When you use apps, it stores some files in memory for quicker access later. Downside of it is that it takes-up space. Normally you would not want to clear cache that often, but if you're running out of space it helps.
Unfortunately you can only clear cache for each app one-by-one, but here's an app that might make the process easier http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.cerisierbleu.qac
You can not store any apps on your memory card!
I did not know this
I have low space as well!
I have a game which is 20MB, i do not want to delete it beacuse it is the best game I have.
Is there no way to put it on your memory card?

No, you can't put apps on memory card until we have root and get to use cool ROMs like CyanogenMod.
Or until Google adds official support for apps2sd, but I can bet you that root will come first.
the reason why google doesnt allow apps etc to be installed on SD cards is because of security of the system, meaning that through this it would be probably easier to root or hack the device and they re working on some kind of encryption for this, and it will be included in the future update,
someone from this forum posted it somewhere here in this section
I also got low memory on my G1 with Apps2sd. That's because every app stores stuff on the internal memory, the browser cache, google maps cache and so on. My experience showed me that these things are the real memory killer.

Google will encrypt that partition of the sdcard so it is secure. IIRC, support for something with the sd card was checked in recently, along with the support for the LED (for the nexus one). I imagine apps2sd is something all android devices will be seeing soon.
Personally, I would be screwed if I couldn't install apps to my sd card on my phone...as stated above, google earth takes up way too much space. Tack on a couple games and a dozen apps? Forget it.

right. does that mean we wont be able to replace the sd cards unless we 'install' some additional files onto it?
and I think if google wont do this pretty quickly, droid might loose a vast amount of clients, because this is one of the reasons why iphone is so popular.
My mate just told me today he's willing to buy a new phone soon, and when I asked him what phone, he obviously said an iphone why do people always follow the crowd and buy anything that's most advertised :|

I thought it was due to the fact that the paid apps wouldn't be secure on the sd card, opening the gate further for app piracy and thus they were working on a solution to allow copy protection on the sd card.
I think this issue just turned me off the Desire and now I'm leaning towards the Nexus 1. I like to install plenty of apps so this could be a real issue for me
All android phones are the same, its just a matter of time before its sorted you can still get plenty of apps on, personally i can't see how anyone would need more than 10.

not sure to be honest. I would assume that you will be able to mount your sd card and copy all of the contents off the secured/encrypted partition if your machine recognizes that partition type...then again, maybe you won't be able to.
If you upgrade sd cards, you may have to start all over with installing to the sd card. Good question.

the iphone is popular for lots of reasons; app support being at the top...but I would imagine the viral advertising and the "everyone has it" thing doesn't hurt.
Funnily enough, Android is almost on as many mobile devices as iphoneOS (according to an admob metric report). So the "everyone has it" argument is about to become a moot point.

Hi there,
I did the unrevoked root yesterday and wanted to know how I can start wiping off the bloatware such as amazon mp3, peep, stocks, etc..
Also what is footprints and why is it always running? ( yes I have it set on auto kill)
Thanks for any help!

Not sure about removing bloatware (I'd assume its similar to other Androids through adb, but I don't want to go poking around in mine yet to find out). As for Footprints, it's an app that allows you to geotag photos. Not sure why it is constantly running though, do you have any kind photo widget active as well?

You don't. The Evo has NAND protection and will restore them.
Why do people think Amazon MP3 is bloatware? For that matter, why do people think Peep is bloatware, when they just turn right around and install some other Twitter client?
It may not be YOUR cup of tea, but it works for plenty of people.
I know, I know... "I don't want it, therefore it must be bloatware, even though it's not taking up any space I could use for anything else."

To me it's bloatware because I don't use it and didn't ask for it. It's like having ask.com wanting to be installed with everything you download. I have no reason to use amazon mp3 and have zero use for twitter. But it's always running in the background. I need to set it to auto kill. If it wasn't there in the first place I wouldn't have to.

Nope I am running no widgets. But when I run task manager to see what is running it always shows as footprints running. Along with amazonmp3 peep and a couple other things that I am never using.

no smart guy... they think it is bloatware because it is on the phone and they cannot delete it, it typically starts up in the back ground and runs, taking up resources that their "preferred" twitter or whatever client could be using. but mostly simply because it comes preinstalled on the phone and cannot be uninstalled.

Things are getting a tad tight on internal memory so I have been taking a good close look at what is chewing up storage.
Flash Update from Market
This used 10MB in it's own right yet claims to be only an update!
So if memory serves, 2.2 has flash out of the box. So without this 10MB update, I still get flash.
Don't I???
In which case, what does this 10MB of space hog give me?

It obviously won't be all the security update. As it is, Flash is 12mb, on the Market its 5mb. It's just data etc just like every other app.
Fair enough if uninstalling the update stays at 5 or whatever mb forever, but chances are, it'll go back to 12.

That is a common misconception. Android 2.2 does NOT deliver flash out of the box. It just comes with a browser that can use plugins, like flash.
If you are using a sense rom (like the official one), the browser is enhanced by HTC with flash lite, which (as the name suggests) is not a full flash implemantation. Sure you get some flash, but things like youtube in the browser just won't work with that.
€: Did not know htc included it in the update. There is always something new to learn
2.2 has full Flash 10.1 for mobile in it, 2.1 had Flash Lite
I don't think you need this update... I haven't installed it, just using the Flash 10.1 that came with the Froyo update.
I think the security update was way more important for windows users, it was released at the same time if I remember correctly.
It seems like there's literally no internal storage. Does anyone know exactly how much it is? I have about 10 mb of email, 15 mb of Facebook data, 20 mb of contact storage, and about 5-6 applications installed that are over 1 mb, and somehow the little "Low Space" notification keeps popping up. I already uninstalled so many apps and right now I'm down to the essentials plus 2 games. It's annoying and I don't understand why the internal storage is so low that you can't even install more than 2 apps without it going crazy. My Hero never had this problem and I have 20-30 apps installed on there plus 3 email accounts and I never once saw the "Low Space" notification.
App2SD? Clear cache?
So, youre complaining about an issue that everyone on any Android has if they havent rooted?
Upgrade to Froyo
Move Apllication´s to SD
be happy
It's the biggest problem on all android phones. It's being fixed (if you have group 2.2 youll notice an improvement). But the best solution so far seems to be root. Read into it, and Google things like apps2sd.

Problem is, at least in my case, most of the apps just don't support installing in SD, like Google maps, Adobe reader, Gmail or even YouTube apps. No use of being in Froyo then.

Make a 1 gig ext3 partition and you have lots of space!
Lets be honest, though. You shouldn't have to root to make your phone do something that should be standard on Android. Not everyone will want to invalidate their warranty

No no, please don't give Apple credit, Iphone have loads more internal memory than any android device which relies on "external" SD storage. If iphones worked the same way, this limitation would be advertised as a freaking "feature"
Ok so we shouldn't HAVE to do it, but I fully understand Google taking time to think things out. Just plainly installing on the SDcard (i.e. copying apk packages) with no piracy preventing measures is not viable. The froyo way is already a nice step forward. If you want full control, well at least you DO get the opportunity to take full control of your phone through rooting and apps2sd.
Please don't compare to iphone which still doesn't even know what file browsing is
That's what I meant about the iPhone doing it, Apple got it right by cramming the iPhone with internal memory!!! HTC could've easily done the same
Agree with the 'feature' pun, though
Hm, even in my unrooted, old 2.1 days i had more than a few apps installed. 20 MB of Contacts?? How many do you have... a million?
Sorry, even without app2sd i had 30+ apps installed.
Btw, rooting is so easy... Right now i have about 50 apps installed and 105 MB free space.
Hey dude,
I wouldn't advise just rooting your phone on the spur, research it first...
Also upgrade to Froyo, then you get to trnsfer your apps, if thats not enough then download App2sd and if thats not enough then clear cache and if thats not enough delete some apps that you never really use.
Finally IF thats not enough, sell your phone and buy something else...

Totally agree that you shouldn't just root without understanding the whole process and what it means. I was troubleshooting two other users that nearly bricked their Desires by rooting improperly.
But back to the OP's comments, I was like him. I rooted because I was running out of space to install apps
same here i struggled with performance when my internal got full even with force 2 SD
i finally gave up and rooted my device, never looked back
a reminder: if you want to root and install a2sd make sure it's done with a full wipe

Idiots that spend hundreds of pounds on a device without even researching the device specification, only to end up creating pointless threads, not because there is anything wrong with the device just because they didnt educate themselves about what they were about to buy, any google search will show the desire has a total rom of 500mb, knowing that the system, cache, radio and recovery partitions were going to take a sizeable chunk of that, i fully expected about 150mb of internal storage so i wasnt disapointed

Well that was a fail of a statement. It sucks because of no micro SD card...I'd rather have internal memory as it's quicker to access anyway. One reason why HD videos on the iPhone are so good. But in the end they are both phones nothing to argue over. Both have good and bad points it's all opinion.
Hello!
See the thing is that I used to be a worshiper of Nokia, until the doctors announced the inescapable soon to be natural death of Symbian. And now having seen the Android Beauty I feel like I have landed on Mars.
I know nothing about the Android devices but am planing to own an xperia Play in the coming days.
I am mostly interested in organizing life through the use of phone (like Reminders, Memos, Tasks, Calenders etc.), browsing Internet, and using applications (like FaceBook, Twitter, and several others) and user interface experience (I will mention what I mean by that).
1. Now as far as the organization stuff is concerned I have been told that Play hasn't got either one of them, but all can be download easily and in good quality. And I am okay with this issue. BUT CONFIRM IF THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS?
2. Now about the Internet, well this is the main reason of opting for Play, instead of other Sony Ericsson or HTC or Samsung phones. I have read that the phone has got quality web browsing with 4-inch screen. Websites load quite fast comparred to even other SE phones. KINDLY CONFIRM IF THIS IS TRUE AT YOUR END?
3. I have no idea how good this third requirement is served up by SE Play. And that is the reason for this thread. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS WITH EXTENSIVE DETAIL AS IF YOU WERE EXPLAINING TO A NEWBORN BABY. BECAUSE I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND ALL I HAVE GOTTEN SO FAR IS CONFUSION.
So here is the issue, CAN PLAY OR ANDROID (I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO MENTION) DOWNLOAD APPLICATIONS STRAIGHT TO SD, WITHOUT ANY HACK OR METHOD THAT GOES AGAINST THE WARRANTY CONDITIONS? SOME SAY IT CAN SOME SAY IT CAN'T BUT OTHER ANDROIDS CAN SOME SAY IT CAN'T BUT ONCE IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED THEN YOU CAN MOVE IT SOME SAY YOU CAN USING ROM (WHAT THE .... IS ROM, IS IT THE SAME READ-ONLY-MEMORY); WHICH IS IT?
AGAIN PLEASE AN XPERIA PLAY USER EXPLAIN BECAUSE THAT IS THE PHONE I AM GOING TO OWN.
ASSUMING THAT NO MATTER WHAT APPLICATIONS CAN'T BE MOVED TO SD, THEN DO YOU COMMON USERS FEEL THAT 400 MB IS GOOD ENOUGH?
4. Now the user interface, by this I mean the simplicity like we used to have in Nokia or we have in iOS. Like no techie stuff no booting, rooting, rebooting, rerooting etc. No need to dig into the files instead the phone. Also, no crashes, no bugs etc. Becasue I have also been told that Android is still in its developing stages and has problems of its own?
5. And now your opinion, DO YOU THINK PLAY IS WORTH BUYING? I mean I am not much into gaming as much I am into the things mentioned above. Although gaming seems an extra appeal to me. But from the user experience point of view would you recommend this phone.
Thanks for at least reading even if you have no solution.
Enough with the caps. No one's going to want to respond to you when you do that.
1) Yes, built-in calendar, rest can be downloaded.
2) Web browsing's only as good as your connection. Not a problem here.
3) There's a small hack but it doesn't void your warrantee or anything like that. Unless you install a ton of apps and games, 400MB internal should be enough for the average user.
4) Good luck finding any operating system out there that doesn't boot, has no bugs and has no crashes.
5) If you aren't a hardcore gamer or really enjoy emulating the classics, you could probably find a phone better suited towards your uses.

4) Good luck finding any operating system out there that doesn't boot, has no bugs and has no crashes.
5) If you aren't a hardcore gamer or really enjoy emulating the classics, you could probably find a phone better suited towards your uses.

Hello!
Okay thanks for the reply and sorry about the CAPS.
Just 1 more things.
About the sd issue, after that hack does the phone run fine or have there been any issues. Also are there any hopes of this service to be included in the coming updates, I mean if you have heard so somewhere.
Thanks.
I'll confirm that Xperia play is a Sony ericsson phone.

It's not a hack, google had been evolving the move to SD function over the last few versions of the OS. In froyo only the actuall apps .apk could be moved to the SD card. But with the launch of gingerbread, google announed you could also move the apps .libs too. This will not slow your phone down or void your warrenty as its a native feature in the OS

Only thing to think about is if a package has widgets or has a service as part of it, putting the app on the SD card will break them.
@Jack Shepard: the wonderful thing about android is you can change and tailor any of the features you are concerned with to your liking. Claenders, memos, web browsing; even the ui, all without breaking any warrenties or using any hacks. Android comes with everything that you asked for already built in and if you don't like the layout or how it behaves, you simply download a different one to replace it. I can't even begin to count how many different Calender/memo apps there are in the market along with different keyboards, Widgets, etc... even if you don't like the stock web browser there are four others I could list just straight off the top of my head.
As far as web browsing in general, the chipset in the xperia play has hardware flash support so websites with a lot of flash will render a lot quicker then older phones.
As far as downloading apps to your sd card, it really is as simple as downloading it from the market. However keep in mind that the developer the makes the app has to include sd card support. Its much more comman place then it was a year ago but you still may run into an app or two that don't.
And finally yes, if you enjoy gaming on your phone and want to be able to enjoy something other then angry birds, you definately want to check out the play
Fix your grammer bro and use the search.
P.s. Why are you so angry?
Why would you consider the play if your not much of a gamer...that's the crowd this phone is tailored to. Android is highly customizable, you can change almost anything to match your needs. If you are unwillingly to spend extra time setting up your phone, reading and playing around with stuff... Then don't get android. Stick with the ios.

Thanks.

LOL
My point is I've seen him post this kind of stupidity before that helps out nobody but demeans them instead. Sometimes even just a copy after somone else has said it. Just getting annoyed with it. Just bad i made a spelling error doing that lol
