Memory full on Nokia E61

Hi,
I have bought a Nokia E61 a short while ago and I am having problems with the memory: I don't have anything much on the phone yet in terms of data - my contacts (for which I haven't even maxed out the possibilities of entering addresses etc.), calendar entries, a few pictures. Today, I was just trying out adding thumbnail pictures to a few contacts and after I had done so for two or three, I got the message (when I tried to add another): "Contacts: Phone memory full. Close some applications and try again". I didn't have any applications open that I was aware of. By backing up the phone memory to the SD card, I found out that it was less than 1MB.
Does anyone have any ideas what that could be or what I could do to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Ianbrown,
yeah, that's what I thought too at first. But I didn't have much on the phone at all - only a few avatar-sized pictures (max. 100kb), my contacts (not too many and not all possible information per contact), calendar entries (not too many, either). Moreover, I tried afterwards with one avatar picture that was smaller and one that was bigger, and both worked. Also, when the pictures are stored already, linking them to a contact should not take up much additional memory, should it?

Memory full in nokia c7

after download,the phone cant do anything again.it shows memory full and it will automaticallý reboot itself and the shortcuts in the wiget will display '?'. If u touch it, it dispjays 'insert memory card or reinstall app' The point is that the memory is not full while this is happening. Pls help me

Go to Menu > Applications > Log (in log menu go to the second tab) > Options > Clear log.
also to keep in mind if you do alot of browsing you should clear the cache after every use
to to this go open the browser select options then clear privacy data and select cache.
Last resort back up your data first and hard reset type in *#7370# enter 12345 for security code.

Backup problem, memory full! (Nokia 5320XM)

I've been having this odd problem with backups for about 2 months now and i can't make backups of my phone memory to the MicroSD card and it always says: "memory full! Close some applications and try again" But my MicroSD card has over 800mb free space and phone memory has about 65mb free space!?! So the memory is NOT full! I can't find a solution for this so any help would be appreciated

try updating software then try to
Make a partial backup using PC Suite (leave out settings and any features that you don't use), then reformat the phone using *#7370#.
It's important that you use PC Suite parital backup rather than the full backup to memory card, because sometimes the problem can be restored with your data.

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!

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.

Nokia C5-03 Error: Memory full. Close some applica...

Hi,
I purchased this phone mainly to use for Navigation and phone, but disappointed by the error shows up every time when you are in need while using Map.
I do not have any extra applications running other than it came with. I have closed all the running application which running map. Phone software and Map is upto date with version (V22.0.007 and 2.45 on map) Earlier versions also same problem. Currently the available memory shows 27.2 MB)
I tried all the solutions given in /t5/Hardware-Codes-and-Operator/Nokia-C5-03-SIM-memory-full-but-NO-SIM-MESSAGES/m-p/1260683#M25236, but no use. Same error.
Is there any way out other than choosing another phone and brand?
Regards
Simon
Moderator's notes: Post moved into it's own thread.

I am completely frustrated with this phone (Nokia C5-03). I originally wanted a smartphone but didn't want to buy the brand leader like everyone else so I thought I could rely on a Nokia. I have had this phone for less than 12 months now and I have already done a full reset TWICE and have lost all of my information. On both occasions when the memory problems starting occurring with the phone I tried to back up my info to my PC but the phone told me that I had "not enough memory to perform operation"!!!! I am now getting memory full messages every 10 minutes and the phone will do nothing for me.
There is nothing left on the phone to delete. I had my email synched to the phone originally for about two weeks but had to get rid of it as it was slowing the phone down. I never connect to the internet with the phone - I mean NEVER. In browsing the web for solutions I am constantly finding varied and interesting comments about clearing the cache via the web app (I cannot connect to the web on the phone now - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) and connecting my phone to a PC and browsing the memory to find out what the "other files" are (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) or even downloading software onto the computer, running this in the background as I connect phone to PC in order to clear the memory (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION).
I reiterate that I use the phone for nothing other than SMS and calls. I had images on the phone but they are long gone. I have done two full resets to factory default settings and I'm facing another one and I am beyond frustrated. Please dont tell me to connect to my PC (see above) dont tell me to connect to web via phone (see above). My phone memory is showing 22MB SIS applications (which I understand I cannot get rid off) and 46MB other files (WHY????) I reiterate that I do not (and now cannot) browse the web on the phone, I don't use e-mail on the phone, all I do is sms and calls. WHY WHY WHY is my phone not working? Is there anything to be done with this phone or do I put it out of its misery?

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.
Restart the phone...reinstall this "critical" application on C.

Memory Full Message - E61

Sometimes on my E61, I see that I have had no email messages for some time and then when I try to synchronise manually I get a 'Memory Full: Close some applicationas and try again' message. I don't know exactly what this means, but there are no other apps running and all I can do is to shut down the phone and restart it, which solves the problem. Is there anything to be done to prevent this?

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I think that the last reply is on topic. The thread starts with a memory full message query. This is the same message that I get from time to time, and I have gradually moved almost everything that can be moved from the phone to my card.
In fact going to memory details in the file manager application gives me the following result.
Memory in use - 5656 Kb
Free memory - 60 Mb
Calendar - 90 Kb
Contacts - 137 Kb
Documents - 1 Kb
And I still get the Memory Full message. This means that the phone cannot check email, cannot go online, cannot update WorldMate. In fact, it renders the smartphone into a normal cellphone with a big keyboard.

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

Nokia 5800 Memory Full!

After I Downloaded The Latest Version Of Ovi Maps,My Memory Got Lower And Lower.Please Help me!!!

Hello farby,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am not 100% sure if Messaging is the sole killer.
When I switched off Messaging off, I didn't experience "Memory Full" for 15-min navigation after increasing the memory to 80% as you recommended. I have "Blacklist" installed from Ovi and was on all the times without problems to answering calls. When I leave Messaging on, I experienced the said issue.
First, I will un-install Blacklist.
It's sad to remove an useful tool Nokia endorsed to screening junk promotional calls in HK.
Unless I am wrong, Nokia should validate all applications before posting them on Ovi. If not, what's the meaning of having Ovi?
Thanks anyway.
Just curious, are you based in Finland?

Memory Full on using Nokia Maps v3.06

Of late post the latest firmware update, Nokia Maps is annoying me very much with "Memory Full. Close some applications" error message when I keep driving only within about 5 minutes of initiating the navigation. When I intitate the application, I have about 48MB of free RAM on my N97 Mini which is very quickly consumed by maps. This is too irritating when you're driving and especially when you're in a new place where you need a lot of assistance from GPS. Loat hopes in Nokia and Symbian these days due to multiple problems... Have tried factory reset/full format etc., but no go. Any help?

I agree with the fact that Nokia maps is very (too?) sensitive for RAM problems. Ater using Nokia maps to my satisfaction during my holiday in Australia (where we hired a campervan for 3 weeks), for the last month it was hardly possible to start the application (let alone to calculate a route) without getting memory problems. On the last trip where I used Nokia maps, I had to press OK after a low memory message from the phone for about 30 times WHILE driving to keep the navigation working. The message seemed to appear mostly on busy parts of the route like highway crossings.
It took me a while to solve these problems and now Nokia maps seems to work OK again, at least on short trips. I did tried one longer trip (170 km) and it seemed to work OK too.
What did I do?
1. I uninstalled all apps that I don't really use / need to free up phone memory and RAM. This includes Nokia email, which takes a lot of phone memory. Instead I installed a 3rd party email app (Profimail) which can save alle messages on the memorycard AND download complete messages (no Nokia app on my C5-03 can do that!).
2. I installed an app (PhoNetInfo) that can monitor RAM usage (and a lot of other things) to see which remaining apps use a lot of memory. You have to pay for the most recent version, but the version before that is free on their website.
3. It turned out that Whatsapp doesn't only use a lot of phone memory (6 MB), but also a lot of RAM. I uninstalled it although I used it occasionally and I liked it.
4. After this I had about 40MB of RAM free (and also 40 MB of phone memory) after starting my phone. (No apps loading on startup)
5. With the "memory app" PhoNetInfo loaded, I started Nokia apps a few times, calculating a route, to see what happened to my RAM. It seems to be about optimal in my situation to set the "Maximum memory used" slider to 20% (!). This way, my phone has about 10 MB of RAM free with Nokia maps running. You can find this slider in the Nokia Map options under Map.
6. From that moment on, I always reset my phone before using Nokia maps. Simply to make sure that the maximum of memory will be free.
So far, it doesn't seem to make much difference for the RAM usage whether you use "extra" options like assisted GPS or traffic information. I am definitely going to try the "app killer". This may work instead of resetting my phone every time before I start navigating.

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

NOKIA N 80 - GENERAL MEMORY FULL

Why does the mobile often state the message General memory full when playing a video or browsing, is the internal memory very small ??

I have this problem at times - I suspect it is a software issue, as my N70 did not have the same problems yet they both have similar internal memory if I remember. This latest release of Symbian is meant to be more efficient? Hopefully the next firmware release will solve this?
The N80 is meant to multi-task i.e. you can have a number of applications running at one time, which you can switch between, much like 'windows' on a pc. Saying that, have you checked to see that you are not running too many at once (i.e. you have started but not 'exited' the application - there is a practical limit. In particular I find that the web browser (not the services browser) simply eats memory, again this may be a software bug.....
(nb memory as in ram not physical internal memory)

Map Loader keeps saying memory full!! (Nokia 5230)

i was trying to download map for Hong Kong which takes 44.9MB
and i tried so hard to squeeze my phone's memory, which has 49MB free now
and also memory card, 76MB free
also i chose memory card as the default memory for storage
yet when i click download it still says memory full
can anyone please help

That is a bit of a tight squeeze. I would advice against saving it in the phone memory.
Now, there is a setting in Ovi Maps which limits how much of the memory card you can actually use for map data. Even though there mioght be space on the card, you might still have exceeded this setting. To increase this setting. when in Ovi Maps, goto Settings>Map>Maximum memory use. Increase this as necessary.
