internal memory & text message full

[robdoggz6891]

I've been having the exact same problem. I just got the inbox full message an low internal memory space again today. When I got it I had two text threads with maybe 250 total messages and my internal memory is sitting at 29.04mb of available space. I have next to nothing installed because I keep removing apps everytime I get the message.

I had the exact same problem with the stable (read: non-froyo) Bugless 800mHz ROM. I ended up unrooting because of it - I noticed this at the worst time ... when I was >1hr away from home on a day vacation, and on an isolated island with the only way off being by boat... I couldn't use my phone for a good 10 minutes. Had I been in trouble / hurt / an emergency was going on and I couldn't call 911, I would have been screwed. I went back to stock and unrooted. It's not worth my ability to call emergency services (especially since I don't have a home phone, only cell)... After I unrooted, I have 175mb of internal memory religiously, and have not had this problem again.

fwiw there's nothing in the root that I was using on a regular basis other than making my phone pretty, I don't have insurance, and I don't want my phone w/ root if something goes down with it. It'd suck for them to say, "IT'S ROOTED YOU'RE F***KED!"

I am having the same problem with my internal memory and it is ridiculous. I tried deleting just about everything but the problem comes back. I heard that u just have to get the phone replaced but that seems like a way to just avoid the issue since it should be a software issue. I believe my problems began after the recent upadte to 2.2 so it should be the software that is the problem. Who has the solution? Thanks

Go to Settings>SD Card & Phone Storage and take note of how much available space you have under internal phone storage. I sounds like you may need to clear your cache files.

If you're rooted its easy, there are apps on the market for this. If you're not rooted, it's still no problem.

Just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and click the All tab at the top. Now click the menu button and select Sort by Size. You'll see a list of all your installed apps and their respective size on the internal storage. Click on some of the larger ones and see if they have a large cache size. If so, just click Clear Cache.
Same goes for data as well, however you may lose some of your saved data, depending on the app.

After you've cleared a few, go back and check your available space on internal storage again.

I hope this helps. If not, repost with some of your observations.

Your right skaggz and I actually was just starting to do that once I found there were even cache cleaning programs. I was just afraid to delete it on certain programs such as facebook. Thanks a lot!
