Hi i was wondering if there is any mod or any way to save SMS messages to a memory card? the reason i wonder this is that after a few hundred SMS the phone begins to slow and i would like to prevent this.
Thanks
No... and even then it would most likely be even slower on the card (internal memory is faster)...
Maybe some 3rd-party SMS programs can if you really want to go that way, but what I'd recommend is simply to delete some so that the phone doesn't have to list those hundreds of messages each time...
mmk, thank you for the quick resoponse
I've had over 1000msgs on my device and never saw it as affecting the phone's speed.
Have u looked into other factors that may be hindering the speed of your phone? (i.e. apps open in the backround)
I'd noticed that too many SMS slowed my phone down - I use PIM Backup to save my texts when I get too many - I transfer the file it creates to my storage card or PC so I could reload if ever I need to look back through them - keeps it clean and a free program too.....
Edit - link for you http://www.dotfred.net/
to save power when in suspended mode your pda power down sd interface
but the phone features are running in the background even when suspended
if you could make your device put sms's on the sdcard
when you received then while your phone was suspended they would be lost
as the sd card would be unavailable when suspended
Recently my phone has displayed a task bar notification of low memory...and after clicking it, it takes me to the remove programs menu...
since this occured my emails wont sync. The settings are emails should automatically sync, however it isn't working...
any ideas?
Do you have root? Have you partitioned your SD card? What ROM are you running?
If you're not rooted, move any cache you can to your sd card and remove some apps.....or root and move everything to your sd card!

It is not actually low on memory, it is low on STORAGE SPACE.
In other words, you DISK IS FULL.
The reason it won't sync is that it needs to use some storage space to store the data that it syncs.
You need to delete some junk and then it will work again.
Also note: That menu isn't just for deleting programs. It can also be used to clear program data, for example, scroll down and click on "Browser" -- it will give you the option to delete some stuff (cache, etc.).
hey, im root.. on the newest CM, I have already got apps on sd...the low memory display appeared after putting on a 50mb file...since then, I have deleted around 200mb, but the memory notification wont leave.
any help?
You need to delete it from the place that is full... INTERNAL STORAGE.

So i just purchased a htc hero about a week ago and i'm having some problems.
1) phone lags really bad i thought maybe cause i had music on my sd card or a few apps but after deleting them it lags just as bad. Is there any way to end the lag or is that just the way the phone is?
2) track ball, menu, home buttons, etc.. do not light up all the time or will randomly flash.
3) I have been reading about rooting the phone, but have the Build # 2.27.651.6 and read that i have to downgrade to the .5, but i have no idea how to back up all my information(numbers, pictures, media etc..)
I would extremly apperciate any help that anyone can provide, Because this is the first " smart phone" i have ever purchased and i'm really forward to being able to root the from and do things i never knew a phone could do.
2. The lights are based on the light sensor. You block the light getting to it and the trackball, LEDs, etc light up.
3.
Numbers: you can either download HTC Sync here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=933&news_id=631 which will sync your contacts to Outlook
or if you prefer, you can of course sync via Google contacts. Settings > Accounts & sync > Google > check Sync Contacts and let it sync
Pictures and media: just backup everything on your SD card. Connect phone to PC, and when prompted on the phone, click mount as Disk drive. Open the sd card via My Computer, and copy and paste everything onto your PC.
Edit: I just realized, changing a ROM/downgrading/etc won't affect your SD card at all. You don't have to worry about backing up pictures and media, they will just stay on your SD card unharmed. You could always make a backup if you feel paranoid, though.
If you want a quick speed boost and don't really care for Sense UI, try downloading LauncherPro from the market. It's free and a really fast home replacement.

I agree. I love it. More customizable than Sense, too. Well, if you're not a widget freak. I only use a few and I got them from the Market or they were the stock Android ones.
Well i downloaded the launcherpro and it didn't stop the lag. It still lags when i open text messages or go through my contacts.

LauncherPro helps with gerneal home screen navigation speed.
And yeah I hate the HTC messaging app lag. I switched to Handcent (free). It opens everything way faster. I don't go through my contacts through the People app often so it doesn't bother me.
Another tip: download Spare Parts (free) and set window and homescreen animations to Fast (or if you really don't care, None).
I downloaded Spare Parts and Handcent and it helped out quite a bit. Now i have a nother issue I tried to root my phone last night but had to do the downgrade to the .5build but everytime i tried it kept saying USB ERROR 170 or something like that...
This morning i got a notification that my phone storage space is getting low. I have 12.8 MB free according to the system stats. It seems, though, that my phone thinks I have 0 MB free, as I tried to download something and it said I had no room (the file was a few dozen KB).
I then received a notice that a text had been rejected because my text message memory was full. I went in and did some house cleaning: deleted about 15 threads, some with 150-200 msgs in it. I then tried sending myself a test text, and it still said that my text message memory was full.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, and how to fix it? I'm having terrible flashbacks to my BB Curve when it didn't have a SD card in it.

This is Android's "dirty little secret". All of your apps are stored on your phone's internal storage. If you're on a N1 then you're running 2.2, right?
Go to settings>applications>manage applications> all, click on each app and see if you can move to SD. While you're in there, clear the less important app's cache. Google Earth is a HOG.
You can also root and flash CyanogenMod. Then You'll be able to put all apps on your SD.

I am on 2.2, but most of the apps I have can't be moved to SD because the developer hasn't enabled it.
How much internal storage does the N1 have? I don't have that many large apps on here. Maybe I should uninstall Google Earth, which is a huge hog, you're right.
Empty your browser cache; this is usually enough.
If you're willing to root, there are a few ways to fix this using your SD card.
If it's affecting SMS as well your cache is full.
Not ideal for this to full up before /data - you may need an app like CacheMate to manage it for you.
I had this happen once and it was my SD card that was actually full, not anything on the phone.
i once tried putting apps on sd, their widgets became useless for some reason

Don't put widgets on sd then. That is what Google specifically says not to do. Simple enough. Don't put anything on sd that has to continuously run, services, live wallpapers, widgets.
having the same problem, all my caches are empty though. it said it had to reject a text due to lack of memory. now that i have freed up some (at 32mb free atm) it still doesn't receive the text.
this is a major downside on android's part.

I have all my apps on sd card that can be loaded there. I am having the same problem with low memory and messages not allowed. I had to uninstall a couple of apps that load only on internal memory and I hate that. Is there any way to check internal memory and clear that up? I have cleared as much cache as possible through manage applications in settings. Is there any other way to free up internal memory? Using CM6.0.3 rooted

I have something over 100 apps on my phone, not Gapps, just downloaded stuff. If I'm reading it right titanium backup backs up over 200. I have a 16 GB sd card and I'm using CM6 which allows me to put whatever apps on my SD I want. Other ROMs let you do this as well, or you can root and move all your apps to SD. I just personally like CM6. Be careful though, I've noticed that some apps that get moved don't work or strangely disappear. especially if they have a widget. There is a link to the one click app in my signature below. It's called universal androot.
Good luck.
I am rooted as well and using CM6, most of my apps are loaded on my16 gig card, however some of them won't let me load to my card (slingbox, etc). I was just wondering if there is a way to access my internal memory to see if there were some things I could delete that I didn't need anymore. Any help would be appreciated

My advise: Just root using Androidroot (1click-root) and after that search in Xda for setinstalllocation, download and install it and move all your apps to the sd-card (don't move widgets, autostart apps, root apps? or services). Did that last week and get back almost 40 mb in internal storage.
While you are doing it suggest you install from the market cachmate for root - it will be your day-a-day friend.
Best of all if i'm correct, you will Keep your warranty ok since you don't unlock your bootloader

How? I have been searching for solution after installing cutom Rom and now I have 3.6mb memory on my sensation after clearing all cache, data in apps. Please helpif you can as I cannot find specific answer and I cannot post to development pages I got the Rom.
Noob here. Noob on XDA anyway. I've owned by Nexus One for over two years now and I've been pretty happy with it. However, I am finally running out of internal memory, even after moving all the apps I could to flash.
Actually, it's mostly TMobile's crappy voicemail app's fault that I am here. If there is less than 10% of space on the device, it flips out and won't download voicemails any longer, which is horrible.
So, here I am today, I just rooted my phone and using posts like this one, I am figuring out how I can force some of those greedy apps onto my sdcard to free up some space. I will probably go with a custom rom here too soon, since there will no longer be updates for the Nexus One.
I know there are much much better phones out now, but this thing works and has been very good.

I'm not sure how this works on the sensation, but try this.
Since you already have a custom ROM, I'm assuming your phone has been rooted. In that case, install darktremor's a2sd script. You'll have to create and ext3 or ext4 partition on your sd card, and then the script will automatically move some apps to the ext partition freeing up space on your phones data partition.

The same goes for you.
I can't post the link for the script, but just search the forums or google for dta2sd and you'll find it.
To create an ext partition, I would recommend using 4ext recovery.
Hope this helps.
clear the applications data

Hello,
Since a few days, my phone always give me this error : "Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low".
At the beginning, I deleted one or two apps. But the problem come back every day. At this point, I deleted all the apps I downloaded before. I have cleared the cache, cleared data of most of apps, deleted some SMS, some emails. Still have this problem. I cannot even install "Titanium Backup" to save some datas before to format the phone. I cannot do anything except answer the phone...
Does anybody know what can I do to fix this ?
Thanks in advance.
Someone else had this issue and IIRC it was contact photo's taking up a large amount of space or something?
Do you have rather a lot of contacts perhaps (i.e. several hundred)?
I have maybe ten photos. Less than one hundred contacts. And I haven't added many things recently. The only thing I have a lot is emails, on my GMail app and my Mail app, but after I have deleted many, nothing changed.
The weird thing is that the error message always come back a few hours after I clear some space. I don't get more emails or SMS during that time, it's like a ghost app is eating my space disk all the time. (This morning, after I have deleted all my emails, 5.34mb available. 10am : 5mb. 11am . 4.95mb. No SMS, no calls, nothing during that time.)
What does it say if you go to Settings -> Aplication -> Manage Applications.
Look at the bottom it says how much is used and how much is free.
You could move stuff to your SD Card to free some space on the Phone.
I have checked "Settings -> Application -> Manage Applications" but the total used and the total free is not displayed at the bottom.
I wish I could move something to the SD card, but except 50 photos, my SMS and Angry Birds, I have already deleted everything. Anyway, I appreciate the help.
I would do a Factory Reset and see if that solves the problem.
Finally it's what I did. After that, I installed the "Android Revolution HD" rom, and now, everything is working fine.
