    Phone says 'Low on Space' and won't sync gmail, but it's not low of space...

    After the recent update to 2.3.4, my phone immeditately said I was 'Low on space'. After deleting a ton of apps, all my pictures, and clearing the history, it still says it is low. But, my internal storage is at 136mb used, 612mb free. To me, that is not that low...

    The last thing I want to do is factory reset, because unfortunately I live off my phone for work and have made many changes since to my calendar and contacts (which won't sync)...

    Please help!! How low does the used need to be in order to get rid of the 'Low on space' so my phone will sync?!

    Download Disk Usage from the market. It gives you a visual breakdown of what's taking up space on your phone

    Click on App Storage, then you can see which apps are the biggest hogs to the right of App Storage, and make necessary adjustments.

    This is odd because I have an OG Droid with only 51 MB of free space, and mine isnt telling me low on storage...

    Are you rooted?

    Love2, I have the same exact thing going on on my phone. I too have a clear indication from apps that i have plenty of available space. Also, I have looked at the storage through my pc (right click and properties.)

    There is something going on and possibly with the new update. I bet we see this issue pop up elsewhere.

    Same here. I have the 2.3.4 update. Google+ came in again and put my app space over 400MB and I got "low on space". Still had 300MB+ space left. Gmail stopped syncing. Removed some apps to get below 400MB and the message went away and "poof" I received my gmail!

    I'm going to jump on this list as well. Updated to 2.3.4 and shortly started getting the "Low on space" message, rendering my gmail account useless. I got the message to go away one time by uninstalling a few apps, but it is back. Anyone have a good fix for this yet?
