Possible solution for "low on space" notification

[Dukefrukem]

I've gone through all my apps, there's 0.00 cache in any of the ones that are running.

How do you turn off synch to the HTC Facebook app?

My wife had this problem for weeks on her Incredible. I moved every app possible to the SD card, uninstalled Google Earth, and cleared data/cache for all of her HTC apps. She's had no problems since then, which was about 3 months ago.

Mine did the same thing. Uninstalled Google Earth. Everything has been smooth since.

I had this notification show up when I was running Twitter and Peep at the same time. If I closed Peep and cleared Cache, notification would disappear. Recently, this solution wasn't working. I had a lot of memory. Started deleting apps, saved bookmarks, history etc GRRRRR. Couldn't get rid of this notification. Finally, I signed out of Twitter and it WORKED!.
This might be important: I noticed strange add ons of Twitter followers,on my account at the time of this problems. Looks like SPAM or porn.
When I tried to block or delete as spam, got message that I could'nt at this time. Eventually, when these followers finally get blocked, my twitter account starts to work and notification disappears. Strange twitter nickname was " gohotcam ". Can someone on twitter add themselves to your account and gain control of your twitter account and disable certain functions on twitter?

What I found had to do with the way contacts are stored on the phone. I got rid of the VZW Backup Assistant and went with Google and since then I have yet to have the warning come back and that was 6 months ago.
Some other things I found are any RSS reader you have or live widgets you may want to either space out the time they update or loose them al together..

Good luck.

Is HTC aware of this bug and does anyone know if they're working on a fix?

If you're rooted, download Root Explorer and browse to /data/data. It's a separately created partition on the phone. If the free space in this folder drops below I think it's 15MB, you get the warning.

This issue came back on Sat. and hasn't gone away!!!!!!! Im at a loss right now. I barely have anything on this phone....

please help... need suggestions from people! It blocks all e-mails to be pushed to my gmail and forces closes Google Talk.

A hard factory reset was the ONLY solution that worked for me. I had been able to fix it temporarily but it always came back. The reset wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. I had all my contacts, pictures, etc backed up already. It only took me about an hour to redo everything how I wanted it. Since then, I've downloaded tons of new apps with no problems at all. I'm soooooo glad I finally just did the reset and got it over with. I talked to Verizon and they said that they (and HTC) were aware of them problem and were working on a better fix.

Oh, and I NEVER used twitter at all so that wasn't the problem for me.

Just wanted to reiterate what I posted a few posts back:

If you're rooted, download Root Explorer and browse to /data/data. It's a separately created partition on the phone. If the free space in this folder drops below I think it's 15MB, you get the warning.

So far this is the most definitive reason I've seen for why this notification comes up. Now I'm not suggesting any particular method for freeing space up in this folder, but at least you know what causes the warning.

Clear the data on the apps, not just the cache. There is a 150MB limit total, not per app on "app data store" (don't know the proper name).
You can look at your apps in the manage applications from the main menu and look at what's using the most memory and just delete the data in those.

They NEED to fix this. It's ridiculous that a phone that ships with 8gb of internal storage should have this problem. I'm tempted to return the damn thing.

This is correct. You could have 500mb free and if somehow the data folder gets past 135mb or so, you will get the error.

Reset my phone, error came back. Dropping this ****ty phone for a Droid 2 global.
