LG Ally : Phones low on space... then text memory full.. WHY?

[jackals]

My phone says low on space (phone storage space getting low) then text message memory goes full...

I deleted all my text messages... and took battery out... what in the world... anyone know a fix for this?

You might have too many apps. My phone does the same and does it until I clear some space. You could also try deleting the browser cache too.

[jackals]

also can we go to retail store and have 2.2 android on?

I don't know if the ally has been upgraded to 2.2. That doesn't sound like too many apps. Try going to settings and then sd card and phone storage and seeing how much space you have left.

Something isn't right. The Ally will spend the remainder of its shelf life on 2.1 unless something changes. Try what the above poster mentioned and see what it says. Also, go to Manage Applications under Settings and scroll through your apps to make sure some of your apps haven't duplicated anything.

DroidForums junkie!

SD Card

FWIW: I deleted some apps, sirius radio, gochat (I don't use either anymore), i cleared the cache out of dolphin browser and the stock browser... took battery out again restarted phone and it seems to of gone away... but even with removing just those 2 things... I have tons of space left no?

Happen to me. The only fix I have is leaving atleast 16mb of rom on the phone for you to receive text messages. If that fails do a complete factory reset and that will fix it 99.99% of the time. As far as I know there is no other alternative.

My Droid starts telling me that I have low space when it gets down to about 25mb. I wish they would lower the threshold for the alert.

The offending app in your case, I believe, was dolphin. It has a special cache for HTML5 data which can get HUG.E very quickly. Before realizing this, I had Dolphin using around 80+mb for it and wondering what the hell was using so much space. I manually went app by app under Manage Applications and eventually found it out.

There is an option to clear the HTML5 cache in settings. If you just normally clear the browser cache from within Dolphin it won't clear this HTML5 cache so make sure you check it once in a while (unless they've changed it, I uninstalled it shortly after realizing this and am just using the stock browser now.).
