Hi there,
I have a HTC Desire, and its telling me I have low space, so I have deleted everything that I can, including old messages..
Now I am trying to get into my gallery to delete photos/videos and it comes up saying:
Your phone is low on storage space. Please free some space before using this application
I also tried accessing the gallery through camera, and it tells me the same thing
Removed battery for ten seconds then restarted no help
I dont understand what I can do next.
When I restart the phone (which I have like 10 times), it comes up saying it cant identify my time zone... The phone has not been dropped and is in a very protected case
Can someone please help me? Its my partners phone I have borrowed and I'm scared I have broken it!!!
thanks in advance

Hello there welcome to xda
What you are getting is the biggest problem the HTC desire has is very little install space, Your better of rooting your phone and installing starburst ROM witch will give you 2GB internal memory.
If you dont want to root try install Quick App cache, this wil remove alot of unwanted data.
Read into Rooting
Always backup
Install custom rom

Yes you do need root for it to clean everything for you, but you can clean each app one at a time with out root theres a good chance that you'll have your browser or another app using alot of MB without you even knowing about it. DONT DELETE APP DATA UNLESS YOU WANT TO.
I think I will wait for my partner to have a go with it, so I dont mess it up!
Do you that that will fix it?
Could you post your system info? you'll find it in settings, about phone, software information.
Or you could look here your self
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Its so you can download the stock rom you have now, just incase you ever need to go back to stock. this is only if your think about rooting.

To tell you the Truth, it will free some space but you will be back wanting to free up space again and again
Thats why its best to Root your phone, dont just rush into it have a very good read on this site even watch youtube lots of video's on there showing you have to do it.
Once you feel you know what your doing you'll be fine Always remember to Backup, download your Stock ROM from shipped roms. then pick a custom from from the dev part of this site

Download this and keep it saved to your PC, its just for future incase you ever need it
If you ever root your phone and you end up not wanting root you can install this and it will make your phone back to stock unrooted.
Running out of memory is the main reason why I rooted and S-Offed my Desire.
If you have done those, there are plenty options of solving the running out of memory problem.
A2SD+, A2SD + custom NAND partition, Data2Ext, etc.
Beside those you will be also get these as bonuses:
1. Faster and smoother Desire
2. Longer battery life
3. Various UI from various ROMs (Sense, New-Sense, Plain, MIUI, etc.)
4. DSP manager witch doesn't come with the stock ROM
5. Overclock, underclock, under voltage, etc. settings
6. UOT skins
7. Adblock to block unwanted ads
8. Flashing addiction
etc.
OK...you have got your original signed ROM just in case you need it in the future.
Now it is time to root.
Download Android H-Boot driver for your PC and Unrevoked software.
Learn how to root and flash ROMs (no S-Off first nor Nand partition modification, learn more and do those later)
What is it that is eating up my memory...?
I'm NOT asking for more memory for installing apps - I just want to get the same amount of free memory back that I got after a fresh factoryreset and reinstalling and using all programs the first time...
I'm running stock HTC 2.3.3.
Just four days ago I reset my phone and installed 29 apps ran all of them so that they were all ready to use exg Google goggles isn't ready to use before you have answered a few questions...
And I had 29,19 Mb left!!! Brilliant!!! :-D
Today I had to remove a 3,28 MB program because I were below 15 mb and at this moment there is only 16,29 Mb left.
All programs that I can move to sd is moved, all cache is cleared using "1 tap cleaner" (is the a better app for this...)
Why is it that I have lost 13 mb???
Please help because I really would like to find the cause of this...
Installed apps:
1 tap cleaner free
Adobe flash 10.3
Angry birds
Bubble
cardiotrainer
chrome to phone
convert - unit converter
documents to go
dropbox
es file explorer
facebook for android
gmail
goggles
google sky map
handcent sms
flashlight
maps
my perfect egg timer
my tracks
notes (htc widget)
rockplayer lite
shazam
smooth calender
tv2 nyhederne (danish news station app)
Tv2 superliga (dansih football)
tv guide
valg2011
Dmi (danish weather)
youtube
(By the way right after the reset before I installed any apps it said 125 Mb free memory for install)
Well, space is eaten by apps' data (not only cache), crash logs et cetera. For example, when i first install DEX (Romanian dictionary app) it "eats" some 1.26 MB after being moved to SD. When i first run it, it creates another ~5MB of data. If you remove said data, it will just be created again on next run, so don't try that as it's useless.
Yes I know that programs "creates" more mb but that was also what I tried to write when I said that all programs were running one time when I still had 29 mb left...?
So what is it then...?
Hello guys, i am having a problem, last night my Adobe flash player automatically got updated, it was previously a system app which was done with titanium, after it got updated, i integrated it into the rom like before.
however i lost 3mb in the process i tried cleaning the dalvick catch and i used sd maid also to delete any dead apps but both did not find anything to clean.
I tired uninstalling it and installing my previous version via titanium backup, but sill i have lost 3mb, Any ideas to how i can retrieve my internal space back?? now I have turned off the automatic updates. thanks.

Were you having the previous installation of Flash player in the sd card?
No, it was originally from the market.
Seriously, you are complaining about 3 MB?
Nevertheless, back to topic: When system apps are updated, the updates are always installed to /data partition. Don't know why, but this gives you the possibility to uninstall updates, which could not be done if updates were installed to /system.
SwiftKeyed from CyanogenMod with Transparent XDA App
Whenever my internal space starts to get low and some of the applications have been updated more than once I uninstall them and the re-install, it seems to be that my phone is storing data after every update so updating straight to the most recent version seems to take up less space.
I dont know if this is 100% correct but it seems to work for me.
Its not about 3mb, thats one case, if several updates happen then you will have no internal space. I dont have a table for my desire, after all my main apps installed im left with a limited 25mb of internal space so every mb matters. il try that aswel TheDarkenedPoet though. thanks for replying
See screenshot. My phone looks like it only has 550MB free but it's barely using 2.5GB.. so should have plenty free. Market isn't letting me install anything and giving me an error.
I'm running CyanogenMod Version 11-20140214-Linaro-jfftetmo Android 4.4.2

Are you using clockworkmod recovery?
If so the missing space is likely being taken up by nandroid backups that you’ve made. Clockworkmod hides the backups it makes in the internal SD card unless you chance the backup location in settings. And for some reason the files don't show up in the stock storage graph.
My friend picked up one of these yesterday, his first android phone after years with iOS. Last night he was getting a low memory notification and was unable to install anymore apps.
His storage stats were showing only 1.5~gb of storage usable for installing apps, is that normal? Also the details were 500mb of apps installed, 200mb cache but only 100mb free, looks like he had 700mb unaccounted for.
Anything unusual with this or is it as to be expected on this phone?
Anyone able to help?
Done A factory and after a day he has no internal space available but only 500mb of apps and cache used.
Also he tried installing an app from the store and it is saying it can't run because his phone is rooted. We haven't rooted it though!
Sounds like a used device. Rooted and full of stuff.
No?
If so... Is wipe it clean and return to stock. See one of the guides here on that and follow it to the letter.
Things you need to know first though, is bootloader unlocked? Is it s-off? These things can decide the best way to return to stock.
I am currently facing an issue with getting install/update errors for a good majority of the apps. Specifically error 963. I am running the latest Lollipop and the tablet is completely stock. This started occurring recently and it appears to be tied to the latest version of the Play Store. One workaround is to uninstall the updates for the Play Store itself. This works but is only temporary since the Play Store will get updated and the problem starts occurring again. The only other option I discovered is to unmount the SD card and remount after the apps are updated. The SD card is self is currently not being used for anything and I also recently formatted it using the tablet itself. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to correct this problem? Does anyone know why this is occurring?
I confirm I am having a similar issue. I made a post about this today as well
@Title101: the uninstall option for Google play is back (was not there yesterday for me) and updating apps seems to be working again.
I meant to say I have a rooted device....but had done this rooting process many months before this issue.
Reply if your errors went away too...

It appears the issue has gone away. I have moved all the apps over to the SD card and it appears the apps update okay now. Prior to the issue, any app that was on the SD card would be put back to internal storage which was a bit of a pain since I always had to move it back the the SD card. However, now it appears that this not required anymore.
I have thought of rooting the device and using Link2SD. I have held back in the hopes that Samsung will update the OS to Marshmallow and either allow for adoptable storage or the moving to external storage option present in the Galaxy S7/Edge. One question I have is if I root would it be possible to go back the the stock recovery in case an update does arrive at some point? I don't necessarily want to re-flash the image and loose all the data. Currently once the device is rooted, OTA does not work anymore.
Link2SD seems to have issues - it has actually corrupted the 2nd partition I had created on an SD card once, and I'm using it again quite cautiously (I only moved 2-3 apps to the SD card this time versus 10-15 last time). Maybe it depends on the size of the partition or how often the apps (on the SD card) are used, but I am not sure.
So I'd recommend being careful with Link2SD...
But yes, rooting has the advantages + disadvantages you just mentioned...
I tried googling to see if the Tab S gets Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but so far haven't found anything.

I have used Link2SD in the past and do recall running into some issues. Sometimes it would require a re-link and I also noticed boot up was taking way longer then it does now. However, I did have a lot of applications installed to the second partition. Loosing OTA update ability due to rooting was another reason I decided to go back to stock. At this point I am hoping that Samsung does not forget about this tablet and decides to do right by us since it was their flagship tablet not that long ago. The Galaxy S5 came out a few months before our tablet and it's getting Marshmallow so hopefully our tablet will be next.
We might just be next, check it out (it's not that official though...)
