My desire z has persistently been showing the low on space warning for the past week. From my search I have found tthat a lot of people solved this issue by doing a factory reset (which I am planning to do, reluctantly of course...) but I have also read some instances where people have mentioned that this could be because of corruption of the memory. What is your take on this? If my internal memory is corrupt i'd want to know sooner rather than later so I can send it into warranty.

Are you getting this error in the market? Usually when I get it I just try to reinstall the app and it works.

If it's a market error, you can usually clear the market's cache from settings to fix it.
Only time i seen this error is like the above posters said, when trying to install something in the market. Definitely a software issue if thats the case.

Its on my sd card. Its starting to take a ridiculous amount of space already; about 2gb worth. I've had to delete adventure time and nova2 on my phone just to make space. I tried to delete the files, but it corrupts my sdcard. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

I think this is what those backups are referring to take a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405
The back ups are created when you use the superwipe.zip in recovery

Thanks for the replies, I didn't think anyone checked q/a anymore xD are they safe to delete though? Last time I deleted a batch of these, my sdcard read corrupted, and it took me a while to get my phone working again.

my gf is having this problem on her phone, and i'm only finding solutions here for rooted phones and she can't root it because of the warranty. do you have some other solutions for her problem?
She's just going to have to move as many apps as possible to the SD.
Go Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>On SD Card
Then tick everything available.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
she moved everything she could and she doesn't have that much apps, and still having same problem..
is there any other solution?
I don't think so, other than being selective over what she has installed.
My girlfriend was in the same boat until I rooted her phone and flashed a new ROM with a2sd support.

Photographs and music, Facebook friends synced to contacts, and web pages not cleared eat memory, clear caches as well.
sent using tapatalk
Also, Gmail and Contacts chew up memory like 20mb each easily.
Another thing to remember is that you have to restart the phone for most of the savings to show up after changes. It does help to restart it about once per day to keep the caches clean, etc.
This worked for me. No S-OFF needed.

bug? factory reset.
Does anyone else have this problem? I just synced everything to my phone. Want to avoid a reset if possible.

update your hTC one X to latest firmware (eg: 1.29.xxx.xx) and it solved the missing space in HOX.

I tried checking for updates. It said its up to date. Is it because my phone is new.
And not yet in the system?

Did you transfer anything to your phone via USB. If you did check the LOST.dir folder, its probably full of useless files that you can delete

You haven't given us much to go on...
what is your current software version?
Your carrier may not have released the 1.29.xx.11 update yet.
If your software is NOT 1.29.XXX.11 (XXX being dependent on your carrier/region) then see this thread. In a nutshell: update and you will have problem fixed

The latest firmware solves this.
Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and then try to redownload firmware perhaps?

Just cause it's new doesn't mean it's up to date...

I had this same problem previous. The only way I could get round it was to:
1.Copy the contents of the SD Card on the computer.
2.Format SD Card in FAT32 (Standard format)
3. Copy the files back over.
This gave me my full space back and I haven't ran into the same problem.
It seems to be due to Android reserving mass amounts of space on the SD Card for some reason, but no true conclusion has been reached as to why. Some people get it. Some people don't.
But that should resolve the problem and stop it from occurring.

There is a problem with firmware that the system eats up lots of space, right.now that is the way to fix it, mount format copy back.

I had about 2000 sms messages in many, many threads (by contact). I just received a message from someone, went inside the thread which had right messages in it, but wrong contact name/number. Went up in chierarchy, and saw it is the only thread/contact I have. I rebooted, and the name got fixed, but all the aother threads/messages are gone.
What the hell has just happened? And how can I recover all the lost messages?
So you have thousands of messages and you didn't bother to back it up?
About the issue its a bit weird.

I had a backup but it was nearly 2 weeks old so it's a bit of a loss. And after verification, the count of messages was actually 7000.
It never happened before, even though I did nothing to this rom since... 2 months. It's a CM7.
Very strange and annoying. I figured it was some kind of filesystem corruption (there are some mentions of similar situations on this forum without any solution) but it is strange because the SMS database file is on the internal storage, not the SD card.
Merde.
You are rooted so anything can happen with files on the internal I guess.

Yes, but not without an explainable reason.
Bit rot, some internal memory blocks become unreadable.
I u r using cm7, try the lock SMS on low memory option.

This happened to me too while I was running the stock froyo rom from telus. When I Googled it others had the same issue but no one knew the cause. It hasn't happened to me since I rooted and updated to GB roms

Searched forum to no avail.
Running Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 on Three UK handset.
Started a few weeks ago, when using Flipboard app, that Sense crashed when closing app. Now it is happening again all apps, Internet, in fact everything.
I had this issue on 1.28 or 1.29, but update fixed it. Now it's back. Be a great help if somebody could shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I am getting the same sort of problems although it isn't crashing all the time. Also on Three UK, standard stock and unrooted 1.29 Do you have lots of apps installed and have very little internal storage free as I think this is causing my problems? I have lots of problems with insufficient memory when trying to install or update apps. I used app2sd to move apps to phone storage but I seem to still always have very little free internal memory but 13gb free on phone storage.
I want to do a complete factory wipe and reinstall / setup apps to see if it resolves it but I think I will wait for JB before doing this due to the hassle and time it will take me.
Thanks

Loads of apps. 8gb Internal left. 1gb other. Done a wipe/reflash. No different.
Can't work out why it's happening. It's the latest in a list. Cannot see myself touching HTC again. My Desire was almost faultless. The One X is great, but only when it fancies. Shame.

next time buy HTC, not branded
You have many running apps and this causes Android to start killing apps when it needs more memory. I guess it's the carrier bloatware. It has nothing to do with Sense "crashing". Try to identify which apps are not needed and disable them if possible.

Completely agree, brands are ****... Cause of the CID, very late upgrades and these sort of problems
