Hi guys I have a problem. No matter what i choose when I install an application , it always takes some space from the device's internal storage which is actually small. And now I only have 3 MB available on the device's storage. I even got an error about not recieving smses due to the low memory.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I got this message on my Qtek2020i. The strange thing is when I look in Start\Settings\System\Memory it says below “Storage”: Allocated 100 MB, but in File Explorer the size is only 21.6 MB for Storage. Now I have a couple of questions:
1. How can I see which programs consume the memory? (or how can I see if there is a memory leak)
2. What would be the easiest way to transfer the programs installed in internal memory to a SD card?
Trying to solve my problem I found out that the first thing to check should be your Internet Explorer. I opened the PIE-Tools-Options-Memory and I cleared out the history, temporary files and cookies. Now, the memory is back to where it was one week ago.
I’m quite happy. Still I’m planning to use a backup software and do a hard reset. I have not done one in years. It’s about time.
I have a problem with running the TT7 software. Was working fine a couple of days ago then yesterday when I used it, i got this message: "Unable to start. Not enough memory is available"
It loads the TT splash screen then goes back into TF3D interface with the msgbox.
I have tried soft resetting and also hard resetting with the same problem.
Currently running TLR 2 ROM.

Did you install the tomtom7 on the main memory or internal storage?

I am using panosha light WWE
On the internal storage.
Does it need to be on main? Will give it a try.
Same problem here. Was working fine, for about 3 months, till this morning. Tried installing on main memory and internal storage, to no avail.
Any suggestions are welcome...
I have had the same problem with Garmin XT, i was under the impression that "Unable to start. Not enough memory is available" was talking about RAM and not Storage memory...
When i check memory usage is will say 85% but i have no programs open, is there a way to free up RAM without restarting?
I also have this error, but it is on a kaiser with a fresh install of wm 6.1 and 47% of RAM used. If somebody have fixes this problem...
Hi i am using Noni GSPPlot and i would like to load very hi res maps into memory. But for something like that i need about 250MB of memory and the memory i have free is nowhere near that.
Do you know of a way i can instruct this program to use hte internal storage as the program memory?
That was an option with Windows Mobile 5. A feature that enabled the user to select Ram vs. Rom. Thus, this can no longer be done.
no
pre wm5 everything both app mem and storage were really just normal ram
and all storage was lost if one pulled the battery
with wm5 flash was used for storage
flash is cheap and keep it's data when power goes away
but flash have a limited number of writes it can do before it dies
kinda like cd-rw discs
and flash read and more so writes A LOT! slower then real memory
so if one could use storage for app mem
the flash would die pretty fast
and it would be soo slow it woud be pointles
Just recently got my Note, and it's the best phone I've ever had. Love all the storage as well. But I'm curious though, how come everything downloaded goes to system storage rather than USB storage? (I have all this space in USB storage, but nothing seems to go there)
Because you are a noob I won't Delete this thread I ll move to Q&A post anymore in the wrong area and they get deleted, only warning-- Moderator

System storage is just where Android prefers to install applications, in a partition that can't be accessed without root access (and therefore doesn't need to be "shut down" when you turn on USB storage mode).
Since most apps are only a few megabytes, and you have almost 2 gigabytes of System storage, it's no big deal. You'll have to work VERY hard to fill up System storage with applications.
USB storage is where a lot of the data lives (cached map files, music, downloads, etc). Plenty of space there, for sure, but it's also "off limits" to Android when USB is mounted on a computer.
But if you really want to use it instead of system storage (I don't recommend it), you can go to Applications/Manage Applications then pick the app you want, click on it, and there will be a button that says "Move to SD Card". Keep in mind that things will load slower off USB storage as well, it's formatted differently and takes longer to read and write.
Back in the bad old days when HTC called a lot of the shots in the Android world, system storage was TINY, 512 or 256 megabytes, and internal USB storage really didn't exist (needed an external SD card). So it was a big deal when Froyo was released with official "apps2SD" support, allowing people to move apps the the external SD card.
Samsung blew that trend all to hell with the original Galaxy S, with unheard of HUGE System and internal USB storage, along with support for an external SD card. Now everyone follows suite with at large System storage, to be competitive with Samsung, and because memory is much cheaper these days as well.
Hey everyone,
I'm using moto x(2013) 16GB Indian version that has no sd card slot. It comes with 11gb of internal storage. Lately, it has started showing low storage notification; but when i checked thoroughly.. i found out that i've used only 7gb out of that 11gb. Please can some explain to me how this works.. how can i access full 11gb.
It's not that 7GB out of 11GB.
You would have installed many apps and the system space ( 3.5GB ) might be low.. apps like Facebook will occupy large space with time...
