Hi all,
my wife owns a Wildfire S since a couple of days.
But I am quite disappointed about the amount of available memory (internal storage) for applications.
She does not have a lot of applications installed (about 5), but the available is only about 93 MB.
When going to "Settings - Applications - Manage Applications" it shows me at the bottom of the screen "Internal Storage: 57MB used, 93MB free".
The phone specs state RAM 512 MB and Internal Storage also 512MB. Why is it showing only 140MB in reality?
Can someone explain this, please?
Is this normal?
How much available storage do you guys have on yours, please?
(Btw, also via "Settings - Storage" it shows "92,07MB as available space" on internal storage)
The phone is a T-Mobile branded one from The Netherlands.
Thanks in advance.
Mine got 512MB internal storage as well, but i think that the OS uses some space that don't show up. Have you tried moving apps to the SD card?
Moving apps to SD indeed does free up some memory, however...
I have only installed a few apps (less then 10mb all together), therefore I am quite disappointed with the little available memory.
The phone is a dutch Tmobile version. I can see there are a few Tmobile apps built-in into the rom, but surely they can't take up that much space, could it? (Adding up used + available internal storage only totals about 150mb, which is far from the 512mb as in the specs?)

Same issue! I got mine yesterday and after barely installing anything. Im low on internal memory and it adds up to 140mb not 512.
Btw android, sense and other HTC things take up that memory. It is only 512mb when there is nothing on the internal memory.
Same issue here. Quite a disappointment and no way to really solve it.
Hello all, search 'darktremor app2sd' in this xda website

Im amazed at how little memory this phone has. After 2 days and 5 apps its basically completely out of space. I liked the smaller form factor but this is ridiculous.
U can move all of ur apps to SD if u want...and it doesn't even require rooting...i was also having problem with this whole low internal memory thing..but i found this...
"http://androidforums.com/desire-tips-tricks/174345-how-move-apps-sd-card-unrooted-device-noobs-guide-updated-09-02-11-a.html"
its quiet simple really...it does help a little...with this u can use "move to SD card" option in application settings for nearly all the apps..
Hope this helps..
PS : u can use an app called android tool box..its really useful..it has many options like app manager, cache cleaner,file explorer,start up manager and many more..it is quiet handy when u'r low on Ram or space..
i have around 500MB of apps installed but after that i get the message "not enough space".
i have tested with "diskusage", "osmonitor" and the programs show around 900 MB free space but i can not install any apps any more. can anyone tell me whats wrong? i use leedroid as rom and the device is fully rooted.
i know i can move apps to SD but i wonder why i can not use the full 1,5GB internal memory.
google was not my friend and the forums search didnt give me any clue either.
Is it possible to see how the internal memory is being used?
Im asking because i recently installed Gingervillain rom and restored all my apps which left me of 110mb of free space which is fine. But in the last couple of days, i have installed a couple of apps and with normal daily use the internal memory has dropped to 50mb.
This seems alot to me as i have not really done much,

try DiskUsage on market (free)
you may have a rogue app taking up a lot of app data
If you have internal memory problems... why don't you try SuperNova ROM out? I'm having 2GBs worth of internal storage... just sayin'...
Went to scan something with Photo Reader and was told that I didn't have enough storage space available. This seemed odd to me as I've installed fewer apps than on my tablet, and haven't even had time to download data files for most of the games.
1.45 GB Available, and it's not enough space for system functions?
Is ~10GB how much I should have internal?
EDIT - Probably should have said 11GB, just actually looked at the full number 10.97 is rather closer to 11 than 10... And that's why you sleep at 3 am not post!
In the HTC Desire days things were easy - I had 300MB partition for apps and if there was 15MB free, it meant I could only install apps that were smaller than 15MB.
But with S4 mini it is not like that. I go to Settings/Apps and it tells me I have 470MB free (which is how much space there is on the internal card), but I can't install any apps (even tiny ones) because of "Insufficient storage available".
What the deuce?
