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.

so i have about 20000 (yes, 20,000) sms and its eating up a lot of my phones memory. However, I have a 1gb sd card thats 99% free on my phone.. Is it possible for me to transfer all the txt msgs to the SD card and still be able to view them somehow.
I have txt all backed up, I just don't know how to view them if i just store them on the SD card. is there a text viewer or whatever?
Thanks for the help.

Wow! Well, the WM app wont let you store them on the memory card, from searching it looks like a security measure. (todo with remote wiping ect it seems)
Maybe a 3rd party SMS program might be able to, not sure as of right now.

oh of course of course.
i don't want the new messages to be stored on the SD CARD.
however, i want to store all the old sms on the SD card and be able to view them through a software on my phone
and for the new sms, they can be stored on the memory as usual.
the reason i want to do this is because i have a habit of looking up my old sms to remind myself some of the tasks.
WHOA!!
20000 SMS?? hmm I have that many in my email box but not SMS? will be watching this with interest

i know this is rare. i been doing research regarding to text viewer on a removable memory however nothing found
Try "export", I'm sure there are programs that can export your messages to a plain text file so it can be read by *anything*
This looks promising, but you may have to pay.
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 keep getting the "Memory Full" message, even though I've deleted enough stuf to give me roughly 5 MB of free space. I can't even receive new texts. I did a soft reset and it worked for a while before the "Memory Full" message popped up again. As for emails, they are read then purged from the phone (but kept on my pc). A lot of pictures have been moved to my microSD card. I'm now up to a little over 6 MB in free space, but the message still pops up.
How can I fix this and stop this annoying popup???
First I would get as many programs as you can to the SD card, I would also delete all the att bloatware, and get Total Comander and retweak all mail and texts to SD card.
Also this may be a simple fix, but after you deleted your messages did you go to the delted items folder and clear all deleted ?
delete your web browsing cache... I've heard that takes up a lot of storage.

I sure did. After it was emptied I got up to 6 MB of free space. I'll try your other suggestions one I get home tonight.

I did this also.
i got the same problem at the moment with the memory on my phone. it says its full but i dont know what to get rid of to clear it. ive deleted web browser cache and history, i have evan got rid of my emails which seems ****ing pointless of having this phone now. ive kept everything on my memory card so i am confused now of what to delete.
Ok..
I am pulling my hair out on this.
I rooted the phone, unrevoked forever!, and now my phone is always reporting it is low on storage. I removed half the apps on the phone and can't get rid of the message.
I did do a nandroid recovery once to make sure the nandroid backup was good (could that screw up the storage totals)?
Under phone storage:
SD Card:
Total 7.6, avialable: 6.2
Internal Phone: Total: 6.6gb, available: 6.45
Phone Memory: Total: 748mb, available 628mb
Looking at the items listed under manage memory (when you click low storage) I estimage about 160mb or so of storage.
When I mount the drives on my computer, I am matching the numbers shown above for available (but the bar charts in windows showing how much memory is left are wrong - they are showing very little free storage).
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am out of apps I can remove (and that does not seem like the issue anyways).
Any suggestions?
I had this happen over and over again over the life of the phone, including well before root (the first time within days of receipt).
Online, I could only find discussions where people blamed HTC's Mail application, which appears to increase in size, even when no new mail has been downloaded. Asinine, because we have PLENTY of storage?
However, 90% of my ROM installs, I haven't even bothered to set up HTC Mail, and still had it happen. A few times I went into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, and cleared out data for com.htc.provider.settings or com.htc.socialnetwork.provider to clear the message.
The last time, yesterday, I deleted Facebook/Twitter data (official applications from the market), and deleted Google Earth. One of those cleared it.
I've sat around quiet about it because obviously this isn't widespread. HTC is aware of the issue... but considering I've run two sense and two vanilla ROMs based on leaked 2.2, I have a strange feeling I'm going to keep seeing it.
Let me know if you find anything that isn't a little more hearsay. I'll do the same. My next plan is to wait for Cyanogen and do apps2sd. Don't know why I linked the two, but that is the plan.
I did a complete wipe and a nandroid recovery of my base ROM. While syncing in Touchdown, the low storage message popped up (I sync a large amount of data - ~68mb of data currently). I went into touchdown and removed a few folders (shrinking the data file size) and the message went away.
I am guessing there is a bug when data file size (either one or the aggregate of all) hits a certain threshold the message pops up. For now, I am just syncing less data and will see if it appears again.
I freaked the first time I saw that. Then I saw I had 5 nandroid backups. I moved all but one into a file on my computer and TAHDAH! I had space again. Of course I'm still using the 2GB card that came with the phone, but check how many nandroid backups you have, or back ups from other apps.
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.
