On your BlackBerry10 device with a non-removable battery:
Restart: Press and hold the upper edge power button a couple seconds and the tap the lower right RESTART.
or,
Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
Now, what is the System space noted above.

  • BlackBerry z10 device memory problem

    I have a problem with my BlackBerry z10 device memory. Over time the so called "other data" keep growing, eating up the internal memory even though i didn't install new apps. So now i have less than 1 gb free storage and keep getting message that i should move some files to the external memory. The "other data" is now at 14.8 gb. BlackBerry 10 os don't let us see the content of this data but i know that all of the apps i installed take less than 4 gb. I wanna find the solution before i factory reset my z10. I don't like to have to install all those apps again. 

    MaxMem was a tool that could "free up space" in OS's 4.2 to 6.0.  It hasn't been updated since sometime in 2008.  There is no BB10 version.

  • Clear Device Memory

    I have a Tour 9630, running OS v5.0.0.484 on a US Cellular network. I'm receiving a "device memory full" prompt but I have deleted all but two apps totaling 3mb, there are no pictures and only the required applications still installed on the phone. Why does the 252.5mb of application storage continue to read as full?? - Saltydog

    Thanks for coming back with more information...it always helps our ever-growing "knowledge base" that this site is becoming.
    I'm not sure exactly what "deleting device data" means in your case -- AppMemory and Device Memory are separate memory areas, so doing something in one would not affect the other. Rather, via AppLoader, you can remove optional components of the OS (e.g., languages) that you don't need, apps that are extraneous, etc. There also are less-destructive levels of WIPE, with ResetToFactory being the most destructive (of the native methods, that is).
    You also need to be sure that you are checking your AppMemory right after a fresh batt-pull reboot, before other apps have been able to begin consuming AppMemory for their purposes. After a little time (maybe an hour), you can generally discover a "normal" level for your situation...assuming of course there is nothing with any memory leaks, as those would cause an inability to really properly analyze what's going on with AppMemory.
    There is also Safe Mode as a diagnostic...to see how things are when all 3rd party apps are prevented from auto-loading whatever they have.
    Further, an even more destructive (and indeed "cleaner") method is to perform a different kind of WIPE (e.g., BBSAK or JLCMDR) and then reload the OS cleanly, but being sure to leave off all of those optional things during the initial reload. This is actually the best way to maximize your AppMemory available storage...sometimes, merely removing (post-install) things (e.g., apps, languages, etc.) does not release quite as much AppMemory as just never installing them at all would provide for.
    Further still, there may be updated OS levels that handle memory better (or, yes, worse...always a possibility!) than the current version you are running.
    Those are about all the thoughts I've got on the topic...there are of course several official KBs on the matter:
    KB02843What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14213Call logs, SMS text messages, and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
    It is always, of course, important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.

  • New smartphone - "Device memory is full..."

    Today I received my new Curve 8520 and excitedly charged it and activated it. I was disappointed to discover that when I went to test the camera out, before I even took a picture, an error/warning popped up: "Device memory is full. Please save pictures to media card."
    WHY???
    I have never used the phone nor put anything on the memory. In Settings/Options it says that memory available is more than 100mb. Does anyone know how to fix this? Why would this be the case on a brand new phone?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Don't know why it said that.
    But it is recommended that you save pictures to a Media Card, altough it is not required.
    Open your camera > press the Menu key > options > scroll to the bottom and see what your save to options are set to?

  • Insufficient Device Memory to Update to 10.2.1

    I went to install the new update (10.2.1.537) onto my Q5 through my phone, received the notification telling me device storage was almost full and the install failed.
    I then cleared out my device memory, moving everything I had access to onto media card or simply deleting it.
    When I go to install the update now before it begins it asks me to free up around 1.1-1.4GB (the exact value varies between attempts) of space on device memory even though I already have 1.5GB free and it says the size is 1008MB.
    I have very few apps installed and most aren't very big (all below 50MB if you exclude BlackBerry Runtime for Android.) I also tried deleting email accounts and message history in Whatsapp but they made very little difference.
    Of the 8GB total space 6.3GB is taken up by "Other data" and looking in file manager seemed to show 3GB of this was from the Device/misc/android folder in the form of hidden files. (Not within any of the folders inside the android folder.) All other device folders are completely empty as far as I can see.
    Any advice of how to make up the space so I can upgrade would be really appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss now.
    Thanks!

    Hi, sorry it took a while to reply but this was a bit of a lengthy process. Worked like a charm though, thank you ever so much!

  • Memory full but not.

    Hello,
    My Z30 is telling me that the device memory is full.  The Device Monitor is saying that I have 8G of user files on the built in memory but when I go to the file manager there is nothing I can delete.
    I did load it up but then moved music to the Micro SD memory card.  Since then it has still shown as full.  I have tried a hard reset several times.
    I can send screen shots I just don't see where I can do it on this form.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Shawn

  • Z10 device memory usage oddity

    We own two z10 on att. Network. Both set up just about identical except wife's also has Facebook and Twitter. My "other" device memory usage holds constant at about 5.5 gb. About 3 weeks ago noticed her "other" device memory usage was 12 gb. Did everything I knew to clear up space on hers but didn't accomplish much. Using blackberry link I did a full backup and then a restore. That brought her "other" back down to about 5.5 gb. Now, last week hers had crept up to 6.6gb used and this week is at 7.4 gb used.
    Something doesn't seem right comparing our two z10's. Other than she does more texting than me and uses Facebook and Twitter I can't account for anything eating up her device memory
    Os is 10.1.0.2074. Software is 10.1.0.2019
    Any help would be appreciated!

    MaxMem was a tool that could "free up space" in OS's 4.2 to 6.0.  It hasn't been updated since sometime in 2008.  There is no BB10 version.

  • LG Ally text message memory full

    I have had this phone for a little over a month now and I get the message "text memory full" all the time. I have 2 conversations open all the time and I clear them once a week. Other than that I don't have tons of messages. I looked online and it said to clear my cache. Well when I tried to do that it helped some but I deleted all my  live backgrounds that came on the phone and that I use, and now I can't figure out how to get them back. I really like the phone but I'm tired of having to clear all of this stuff every so often. I have never had that with any phone and I don't get a warning to clear stuff before it happens. Does anyone have any suggestions????

    I have given some steps below that may be helpful when getting the “text memory full” message.
    Check your messaging options:
    -Click the icon button (the one with the 32 little boxes’)
    -Click on the messages icon
    -Click your menu button (the hard key with the 4 vertical lines)
    -Select settings
    -Delete old messages (I would recommend checking this option, as it ensure the limit is not reached)
    -Test message limit (change to desired number, the bigger the number, the better)
    I would also recommend occasionally (as needed) deleting some of the threads as well.
    -Click the icon button (the one with the 32 little boxes’)
    -Click the messages icon
    -Click menu button (the hard key with the 4 vertical lines)
    -Select Delete Threads
    I would also recommend checking the devices memory (I have listed those instructions below
    -Click the icon button (the one with the 32 little boxes’)
    -Click on the settings icon
    -Click SD card & Phone Storage
    -Available space should give you a number in MB’s (megabytes)
    Lastly, I would recommend stopping any applications that don’t need to be running. For instructions click HERE.
    Hope this helps!

  • Nokia C5-03 SIM memory full... but NO SIM MESSAGES...

    Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new here.
    Recently my C5-03 has a flashing envelope on the screen saying the SIM memory is full.
    I searched on Google and found some topics saying to go to Messages -> SIM messages and delete them...
    But problem is... no SIM messages appear! I'm desperate and can't find any other solution... what can I do?!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Hardstylehunt3r,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
    Sorry to hear about your issue but there certain steps you can try to resolve this issue.
    Memory full messages may occur if there are too many applications running at the same time or if there is not enough free space in the phone memory. Depending on the error message, the following actions can be taken:
    "Memory Full: Close some applications and try again"
    In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
    Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
    Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
    If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    "Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
    To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options >Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
    Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
    Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
    Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache). 
    Saved images, videos, or sound files.
    Contact information.
    Calendar notes.
    Downloaded application packages.
    If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
    Any other data that you no longer need
    If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (selectOptions > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC. 
    If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
    Or you can try this:
    To release the phone memory and change the email store from the phone memory to the memory card, follow the steps below.
    Select Menu > Messaging and Options > Settings > Other.
    Select  Memory in use> Memory card.
    To question Copy all messages to the new message memory?, select Yes.
    To question Save original messages?, select No if you want to release the phone memory or select Yes if you wish to keep the original messages in the phone memory.
    Alternatively you can sync your phone with Nokia suite and clear the messages that way if it is not showing on your device. Full instructions on how to sync can be found on the follwing link:
    http://support.ovi.com/osc/en_GB/service/ovi_on_your_computer/howto/support-suite-syncing-and-backin..., 
    If this doesnt help you can try doing a soft reset by inputting code *#7780#. This wont delete any data but rather reset your phone settings. If the device ask for a default code this is usually 12345.
    There's a lot to try to resolve here so give it a go and let me know if any helps.

  • Transfer old blackberry device data to new BlackBerry 10 device, without old blackberry device

    Hello,
    I recently bought a new BlackBerry Q10, I had a BlackBerry Bold 9790 running on OS 7 before this and I had backed it up from BlackBerry Desktop Software. I had no knowledge that BlackBerry 10 devices don't work with BlackBerry Desktop Software, so I sold my Bold 9790 and then bought a Q10. I need to recover all the data of my old Bold 9790 to my Q10, but sadly Q10 doesn't work with BlackBerry Desktop Software. If I download BlackBerry Link it will ask me to connect my old device to transfer files.
    So basically I need to transfer the backup file of my old phone to the new phone.
    Please help me out. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, the device has been out for over a year and a half.  BlackBerry has put the information out there.  I easily found the information below with a quick Google search that brought up this article, KB33322
    While it hasn't yet been updated to reflect the latest update to Link, I made a few minor changes to the instructions to get to the same options in the new version of Link. 
    Media Files saved on the device internal memory will be transferred if you check the box for "Media files saved on internal memory."  Media files saved under Content Store on the old device will not. 
    Here are the instructions:
    Connect the BlackBerry 10 smartphone to the computer using the USB cable.
    At the left side of the BlackBerry Link screen, click name of the BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    Select Restore Device > Legacy Device Backup Files.
    Select the desired backup file.
    Select the data to restore to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone. To restore all supported data, select the Restore all data check box.  To choose the data to restore select Custom Restore.
    Note: For a description of the BlackBerry smartphone databases, refer to KB03974.
    Click Restore.

  • Mysterious 'android' folder in device memory that cant be deleted

    hi... i have a bb q5 and been using it since 2-3 months now... there is an 'android' folder that appears in the 'misc' folder of the device memory. i cant get rid of this from the bb file explorer as well as from the laptop. when i try to del it, it say permission denied. i guess it started when one of my friends used my sd card in their android based phones. this folder contains all those folders that are there in the device memory like photos, camera, music etc. and some other folders like dcim, notifications. sometimes it shows 11 items inside and sometimes 12 or 13. i dont know if it's a bug or something but it seems quite irritating as it contains nothing space wise. i cant del it from my laptop bcos when i press del, nothing really happens and its still there... so pls can anyone help get rid of this...

    It's my understanding that folder is there for access by the Android runtime software.
    Leave it.

  • Nokia E72: Memory full. Delete or move some data f...

    HI All,
    I've recently purchased a Nokia E72 phone for business use and after about three days of trouble-free operation it has suddenly run out of space on the phone system drive C:. This is very surprising as I am not aware of installing any apps or generating any content on C: since the last time I verified the available space exceeding 120 MB.
    I keep on getting a message "Memory full. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory.", am unable to enter the menu and the phone keeps on rebooting.
    I've read a couple of posts from others experiencing this problem on various places on the Internet but no signs of a solution. Does anybody else have the same problem and/or knows the solution?
    I would really appreciate any advice you could give me!
    Thanks,
    Jan

    This is just my experience of "older" phones and memory issues; 
    If Opera (mini) is installed, uninstall it.
