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!

  • LG Ally text message and gps problems

    hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
    i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
    gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
    anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

    I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.
    Master Reset/Soft Reset:
    Factory Reset option 1
    From the main screen, touch menu tab
    Touch Settings
    Touch Privacy
    Touch Factory Data reset
    Touch Reset Phone

    Downloaded Applications
    It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos
    Factory Reset option 2  - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
    Turn off the phone
    Press and hold "home" + "end" + "volume up or down" keys together for a few seconds when the device is power off
    Once device displays boot information, release keys.
    Soft Reset
    Press the Power key.
    Touch Power off.
    Touch OK.
    Press the Power key to power on the device.
    or
    Remove battery cover, remove battery and reinstall.Also there is a new update for LG Ally it will be the Froyo 2.2 but there is not release date available at this time it will post on your device when available. Hope this Helps. Leslie

  • Hp laserjet 3015 error message memory full

    Would really appreciate a little help with my HP Laser-jet 3015. Have owned the all in one since it was new and have really never had a problem with it until now.
    After inputing the phone number to send a fax, when I hit the fax/send key I am given an error "memory is low" indication. 
    My question is, do I have a problem with the units memory that requires service or replacement or is there a simple process of deleting what may be stored in memory?
    I have never had this error message before.

  • ALLY Text Messages not received

    I've sent text messages successfully most times.  However, lately, people aren't receiving them (even though it shows they were successfully sent) or are receiving them inconsistently. Why might this be happening? How can I tell if they really went through?

    Try doing a soft reset on the device by powering the device off , then removing the battery about 1 minute, then powering the device back on and dialing *228 send and option 2.  
    You can set delivery reports in message settings.  
    Delivery Receipt (also known as Delivery Acknowledgement, Delivery Report, or DAK) provides an indicator flag on sent messages notifying a user that a particular message has been successfully delivered to the recipient’s device. It is typically available on Mobile to Mobile (i.e., VZW-to-VZW) text (SMS) messages and on most picture / video (MMS) messages.

  • Text message inbox full

    Hi, I was a bit surprised when I suddenly got a message telling me my text inbox was close to full.
    Is there any way I can delete individual messages, not entire threads?
    If not, is there any way I can back up a message thread onto my computer (other than manually retype everything?)
    Many thanks,
    Aleks

    There's a 1000 message limit I'm afraid, and no way (at this time) to delete individual messages.
    As for downloading to computer, there's a discussion on exactly this subject here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1341349&tstart=0c

  • Messaging Problem Nokia N95 - Memory Full, close a...

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with messaging. When attempting to send the message "Memory full. Close applications and try again" appears - although there is no issue with the phone or card memory and are pretty empty. The message sits in the outbox and no matter how many times you try to send, will not allow.
    At first I removed the SIM card, clean and replaced and this did work the first time. It no longer works at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or experienced this before?
    Thanks, Phil

    So have you checked that your memory is not FULL?
    Go to the File Manager and then select Options Memory details (for the Phone Memory) do you have free memory?
    Have you installed something that may be running in the background (like a theme or something else) try to use one of the default themes.
    Have you cleaned (deleted) the internet cache for the browser?
    If all fails you may need to do a hard reset and clean your phone completely of all installed things and downloaded content. Then try it (before you start loading your stuff).
    Phones have a limited amount of resources and can get full very easily without you knowing. Programs use the Phone memory to store temporary files that never get deleted. DRM songs also consume memory even after you deleted the songs, etc.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Sent text messages disappearing from Pantech Jest

    I have a Pantech Jest and have noticed when going back through text conversations that all of my "sent" messages have been deleted/erased even though I did not delete/erase them. Has anyone else had this problem? It's extremely frustrating.

    its not just a few days. what is happening is your phone is erasing messages yo make room for new ones. if you text a lot and dont erase your inbox and outbox for a couple days, you will reach the max amount the phone has allotted for text message memory. And because your memory is getting full and we all turn off the auto erase inbox option, the phone resorts to deleting your sent messages instead. the advice i can give is to kinda watch how many total messages (in and out) you have between all your conversations and when you start getting near the range of 100-120 incoming, start kinda clearing room before your phone just erases them. also make sure your auto save sent option is turned on in your messaging settings

  • 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,

  • N78 Sim Card Memory Full (but it isn't).

    Hi, my first post here as I've been trying to find answers to an issue I'm having at the moment, so hope you can be of help.
    I need to reformat my N78, so need to backup my contacts into the SIM card. When I try to mark all and copy to SIM memory but got the error message "Memory full: SIM memory" even though the card was already empty. I then went into SIM Numbers and tried to manually add each contact into the SIM memory, but could only get as far to 20 contacts out of over 120+ and be told the memory's full!
    Can anyone please help solve this frustrating problem?
    Nick 

    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
    try the second code, if you want to go that route. download nokia pc suite so you can do a back up of your stuff and you can restore it once you do a reformat. how old is your sim card? sometimes its just a matter of getting an newer card that solves many issues. yes it might be something to do with your sim card being corrupt. perhaps you already have those contacts on the sim card and if you try to add even more it tells you that the memory is full. did you try saving your contacts to memory card?

  • Nokia N73 Phone memory full.

    Hi,
    I am using the N73. When ever i receive message or try to save contacts it shows a message -"Memory Full please delete some data". I deleted all data from Memory card, but when i check Phone Memory it shows 44MB in use. How do i clean my Phone memory?
    Please help.

    memory maybe distributed between different categories that you may not of, not only user files. first of all check the memory distribution by checking the : menu > tools > memory manager > options > memory details.
    if you have alot of messages stored on the phone memory , try to delete some, especially the ones that have attachments or you have recieved through bluetooth.
    if you have applications or themes installed on the phone memory , remove these and reinstall on the memory card.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

  • "Blackberr​y message memory is full!" when it's not - please help!

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone could help me please. I have a Curve 9360 (OS 7.1.0.336) that I've only owned for a few months. About a week ago, out of the blue, I started to get the message: "Blackberry message memory is full! Please delete some sms messages". I know the memory isn't full for three reasons -
    Firstly because I have plenty of memory left on the phone;
    Secondly because I can send as many messages as I want and make them as long as I want - so I am actually increasing the overall amount of messages. The message only pops up when I try to receive a message, and only by deleting received messages will it let another one through;
    Thirdly because I can, for example, delete a text message that is 1 message long (in the first 160 characters) and receive one that is 7 messages long (the limit for blackberry sms). So in this sense I am also actually using more memory.
    This seems like a glitch to me, but I have no idea how/why it arose, or any idea how to fix it.
    I have tried a battery pull, which didn't do anything.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help!

  • 5700 refuses to send text messages saying memory i...

    Hi
    Could anyone help me with this problem? I cannot send any text messages from my 5700 as it keeps saying the memory is full and asks me to close some applications and try again.
    The thing is that I never installed any new ones. It is just the same way as when I got a few months ago. I cleared my phone memory and my memory card, restored factory settings, reset the phone, tried taking out the card and/or the battery and sim and everything I thought might be causing this, but in vain.
    Does anyone know what I can do?
    Thank you in anciticipation

    I had the same problem with my N95. I sought advice and was told to do a hard reset.
    Firstly, back up your phone. Then type in *#7370# followed by the code 12345, which is the default Nokia code, unless you've changed it. As I say, that's for the N95. I don't know if it's the same for your 5700.
    I must re-iterate, back up your phone as the hard reset will clear EVERYTHING!!
    Good luck.

  • N97 memory management: moving text messages

    The saga of optimizing memory usage on the N97 by hand continues. Having determined that text messages (have a lot) are being stored by default in C: (as per Settings/Other/Memory in Use), how do I transfer them over to E: and still have full access to all without loss? Will just changing the setting over to E: do the trick?

    But also be aware that storing ANYTHING on C memory on the N97 that you are not FORCED to will result in the N97 grinding to a halt anyway !! Always instal everythingyou possibly can on E mass memory, it's the only way to survive with the N97. Also if you can aggord £8 buy and install RamBlow, it's the best thing I found to make the N97 'Usable'
    Good Luck

    I finally figured out how to delete SMS text messages from the SIM card.  Open a text that you sent or you received from someone.  Open the menu then "view folder" option.  All of your sent and received text messages will be stored here and can be deleted.
