So I got a bizarre notification today it says I am running out of room on internal storage? Specifically the root, not the SD, or external SD. I am not sure how that's possible or how to free up space. The only thing I can think of is I get lots of SMS/MMS and have 5 email accounts which are pretty active and lots of mail with attachments. Is this stuff stored on the root or SD card? Any other ideas on how to free up space would be greatly appreciated!
Not sure it makes a difference but I am running Blazer 4.0 with Gunslinger.
do you have a lot of apps if so consider moving them to sdcard you can also try to clear cache and data on some of your apps maybe the mail one since you said your email is pretty active other then that im not sure maybe somebody with more knowledge can help
Read this! http://bit.ly/AacW1j One thing that helped me to is that I had a recent Titanium backup (done automatically every night) and on applications that seemed to have 'lost' all my settings like Dolphin browser and Firefox, I simply restored that applicatons 'data' via Titanium. I litterally freed up 1.2 GB of space!!

Hey there,
I am equipping two Google Apps a.k.a. Gmail accounts on my Desire. Unfortunately, though I have a FroYo release that supports native a2sd, my phone has no internal space left due to Gmail downloading all messages to the phone memory. With a ****load of labels, this is really annoying.
I searched back & forth, but I couldn't find any solution to this problem - does anyone have a clue as how to make the Gmail data kindly move (and stay) onto the SD card? I tried 'Move cache for Root Users' (http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/it.tautility/) but it just didn't move my two accounts cache data to the SD card.
Thanks in advance!!
I surely don't mean to grab the whole forum's attention here (which I won't achieve anyway), but since 68 people viewed this topic and nobody replied... - does nobody have the same problem? Don't you ever use labels, or don't you sync them and get in trouble with disk space? Or does nobody have it on the internal storage and have some clever solution that I miss?
Do you really need all the e-mail of your account? Mine just synchronizes with the mail of the last 4 days and if i want anything beyond that it will automatically load it via my data connection.
you can change the amount of days by pressing menu when in the gmail app then choose settings and then labels.
Reminds me of Steve Job's 'you hold that phone the wrong way'....
Yes and no, it somehow worked well on the stock ROM, and I surely had some folders sync completely. I don't know why it does not work on the current ROM I use ([ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)), but it doesn't seem to do anything strange anyway...
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.
Have searched and searched, which probably means the answer is no, but has ANYONE at all found a solution to CM7 deleting sync accounts after each reboot? I thought at first it was only doing it to facebook, but it does it to anything except google accounts. LAME! Help please
Move your facebook app back to the phone and it will hold your sync on a reboot.
worked for me, thanks
I struggled with that one a bit myself. I noticed the same thing with GMail app. It may very well be any sync account.

Thought of that too. Tried it, still didn't hold. However, I really just wanted the pictures to dl. Found a syncmypix (or something alike) in the market, worked great.
Thanks for the tip.
Hi, I've been searching the whole XDA forum for some time and the only topic which seems to really describe my problem is this one, so even if it's an old thread and that my device is an LG Optimus One, I'll post it here.
I also happen on some (but not all) reboot to loose all my accounts (except Google) and contacts and calendars events associated to those accounts, and some preferences (widgets settings are resetted, virtual keyboard is back to default Android keyboard).
In *theory* I don't have apps on SD, but as I use DarkTremor Apps2sd script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940) on a CM7 Rom, in *reality* I have some apps on SD. However, they should be seen as internal apps by the system. As such, I don't have control (and even don't know) if an app will be installed on available actual internal memory or on fake internal memory (sd-ext) because the system will report all them as internal apps.
The purpose of DT's A2SD script is to make apps act like normal internal apps. Why then would they still cause system problems if the system thinks they are internal apps? I don't understand.
And finally, how can I then try to at least test if my problem is indeed caused because the apps are on SD?
My Micro-SD card is a 8GB class 10.
Thank you
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.

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.
