N97 Phone Memory full?

I have had my phone since Saturday, so not long at all, and already Im getting constant errors to say the phone memory is full. I have about 400k free.
I have now changed my msg location to save to the Mass storage and deleted all previous messages from phone memory, and cleared the web cache. I have installed around 5 apps i think, like a game, the photo browser updated ovi maps and a twitter app.
If you go into the File manager on the phone and goto Options--->Details---Memory while viewing the phone memory i get this break down:
73MB Memory in use
456kb Free Memory
411B Calendar
23KB Contacts
10KB Message
0B Images
0B Sound Files
1840KB Video Clips
31KB Documents
6650KB MIDP apps
8923KB SIS applications
56MB Other Files
Can anyone explain what could be using all this extra memory and how to resolve this??
Cheers

no secrets i just try to avoid junk on my phone and all junk that i need i store on e memory unless i have no choice as in boingo, jaiku and qip apps that unfortunately came with this bloody phone. just like i am religious about rebooting my phone at least weekly, but with n97 is more like daily. i am religious with ram management and disable everything i don't need.
There are some things you can do to manage the C memory better/phone memory.
1. Clear your browser cache often
2. set different message allocation ( if you have not done so already)
messaging- options- settings- other ( set it to 999, and e memory)
3. Go to OVI store (app on your phone) and change that memory allocation for most apps.
opitons- account- settings- installation preferences
4. Remove Facebook, Accu Weather, Bloomberg, apps from the C drivve and reinstall them via OVI store and place them in the E memory/mass memory
NOTE: If you are using Nokia Messaging application, it can only store data on the C drive so keep that in mind
NOTE: RAM is another issue with N97. Don't keep too many apps running at the same time as it will run out of RAM and either close all applications on the spot or crash the phone and result in restart.
BETTER RAM management : Here are some things to consider
also consider investing in the best taskman 1.99$ in the ovi store or y browser (free) to manage your ram and all the apps that are runnig on the phone that you might want to close if you are not using them.
http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
now y browser is free, it has a great amount of stuff you can do with it, but it is not as easy to use as best taskman and it does not look so pretty- that is if you care about looks over function.
i practice what i preach and manage to have my phone up and running rather well. i have no major issues and on v12 it is actually a fairly stable phone that is until you install some apps that make your phone go bunkers once again.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

"Phone memory full" when running PC suite's SMS up...

Windows XP SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.81.13.0
Nokia 6230i connected to PC via Bluetooth
When I click on the Nokia PC Suite's "Messages" icon, it correctly opens Nokia Phone Browser, and if I click to create a new SMS it launches the update of the messages between phone and PC. Soon I get "Error, phone memory full, try to free some space on the telephone and try again".
Then the SMS editor opens and works, but the phone is anyway not synchronised with the PC (I erase some SMS on the phone and keep seeing them on the PC).
Phone memory is almost 90% free.
This has begun right after updating to this last PC Suite version.
thanks!
k

So .. with other words .. you are telling me not only PC Suite is **bleep**py software but the phone is a piece of junk also and doesn't delete SMS messages properly ?
Sorry, but this is NO solution for the cause of the problem and doesn't guarantee that it won't happen again. I need a fix so it never happens again. There's no time for "try and error", that's something Nokia should do in their labs instead to deliver low quality software and devices.
Oh well, if there won't be a working solution fixing the cause for this issue soon, I'll decide for my company to give back all phones (50+) and switch the vendor for good. We're still under guarantee so it's easy to make Nokia liable for this failing device.

N97 Phone Memory getting full

Hi there,
My Phone Memory is getting less and less everyday, and I don't know why! I have my messages being saved to my Mass Memory, all images, photos, videos, applications, and so on are also being saved there!
I tried the file manager on the cellphone, to look at every single folder to see if there is anything to delete, but everything is empty!
Where is the memory going to?!
Thnks!

With 32GB on-board.. Wow! That's a real problem..
He is talking about the 73MB Phone Memory(C not the 32GB (29.8GB actually) Mass Memory (E. More free space on C: means snappier performance on the phone !
I now have about 50.9MB free and an excellent response from my device in photo views, music library etc. v12 really spiced it up !

N97 Phone Memory

I got my phone yesterday, did the V2 update straight away.
Today i found i had 3mb.
I've been through all the advice on here, wiped it, hard reset and put it all back in.
Now i have 16mb.
Is there any chance of this increasing? Cheers.

Rasmus - I doubt so. From the "reviews" written at OVI for those apps, I am not the only N97 who can't resinstall. Traveler for instance, has a "resource not available" when clicking onto it. Maybe something very strange is happening in OVI Store. Also, do a search on Facebook yields 3 results. I have downloaded one and instead of installing the files, I was taken to the ZIP folder with a list of files in my phone. AccuWeather has another strange error after the download.
Very strange. Such a hassle to reinstall these apps that comes with the phone, sigh.
I have purchased quite a lot of apps from OVI Store and am quite reluctant to hard reset the phone, in case if I lose any. Another thing about N97 is that I can't see a list of apps currently on phone memory. I have to click onto one by one. And some of them, I have no idea what they are. Must be some supporting apps for the main apps. Some of the apps are quite expensive (like the Spanish dictionary). I think one day I shall sit down and go through 1 by 1 (60 of them) to see which one I will stand to lose if I do a reset.
Thanks for your reply anyway, Rasmus.

N97 Phone Memory Filled Up

Hi,
I am using N97 rom 02-Aug-09. everything was working fine untill i notice tht my phone memory is getting filled up although i never installed any application & i hv set my default memory as mass memory from the very beginning. for nokia care in india the only solution is format/soft.update. moreover they couldn't even trace where the memory is occupying so that it could be set free.
can anyone please guide me !

Odd, thanks like TOO MUCH other files. I dont really know what these other files are myself. They sometimes clean themselves out..
However, I do notice that when I uninstall apps, some other files go as well, and when I reinstall them they dont come back. I used to have this problem myselft, however I just formatted my phone and became more cautious in putting anything in it. So far the "other files" hasnt grown in months.

2600 Classic Phone memory Full

I am not able to add phone numbers in my contacts list after about 900 phone numbers. The phone says phone memory is full. I still have 8MB free on my phone. Is there a separate memory for phone list? Can I increase this?

i'm not 100% sure, but i have a feeling that quite a lot of phones now have a 1000 phone number limit, so i am sure that you have reached that. in saying that, i do not think you can increase this limit any further, maybe clean up your phone numbers?

Phone memory full??

i'm using n81 8gb.the prob is phone mem is owez full.i check in the file mnger but cant find the files that coz my memory full

When you receive files(images, music) via bluetooth, they take up space in your phone memory unless you delete them from the inbox after saving them to your mass memory. Do a clean-up in your inbox ie., delete the files that you would have received via Bluetooth, from your inbox, and see if you can reclaim free space. Also, if you have music and images stored in your phone memory, move them to the mass memory.

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

Full phone memory message N97

Hi, I'm receiving alert to delate or move files from the phone memory. Looks as I did what I could, but still not enough. I keep my sms and emails and pics, videos and all other staff in the mass memory, but now I cant even receive messages!!! (this same alert - 'phone memory full') I've checked the phone browser - cant see any files which could possibly fill up the phone memory. How to proceed. Quite desperate whitout my txts/emails inbox. Regards.

Hi All,
I have manage to increase the phone-memory by deleting the internetbrowser cache. (from 186Kb to 8,2Mb free Mem)
But to delete installed applications (from phone memory - Not Installed in Massmemory ) doesn't take much afford.
All my messages, e-mails, applications etc are stored in the Massmemory, but stil 8,2Mb (internal phonememory) isn't much?
Please Nokia, Create a application/update to clean/delete your internal Memory files!
Or create a link in the (error)notice in your phone where to find to problem of the full memory to erase some files!

Nokia 5800 - phone memory always full

got my phone yesterday from prepay mania, i hav an 8gb memory card in it btw, whenever i go to the menu i get messages saying c: phone memory full, please delete some data. sometimes it doesnt let me access particular features such as "settings" and even returns me to my home screen
my question was how do i move all my future downloads and all the stuff on my phone memory to my memory card, so i wont get these messages coming up all the time
Message Edited by roshan93 on 08-Jul-2009 08:57 AM

if you have installed applications, uninstall them and reinstall them but this time choose the memory card as your main destination (the application should ask where do you want to install it). Also, if you have configured an email account, make sure you choose the memory card to store your emails (go to the messaging/email application, select options - settings - other and where it says memory in use select E: Memory Card (instead of phone memory). Finally, if you have been using the Web application, go to options - clear privacy data (select cache and cookies).
If none of these options solve your problem, then do a hard reset (after backing up the phone, of course)
Hope it helps..

N97 phone start-up failed

After making a software update using my Nokia software updater on the PC, I first got the "software update completed" message. Then, the phone restarted by itself. Once it restarted, I got the "Phone Memory full: Move or delete some data" (which didn't use to appear before). This message blocked my phone. My phone was unresponsive, and I wasn't able to press anything. So I decided to switch off and on the phone. All of a sudden, the phone didn't switch on anymore. I'm getting "Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer". I really don't know what happened.
I updated the software of another N97 a couple of days ago. Everything was good with that one. I did the exact same thing for the second phone, and it crashed for no reason. What can I do other than contacting the retailer???
Thanks for your support

Sending it back.. hopefully they'll fix it.

I feel you buddy, mine died too during the update...took it for repair yesterday. Ask them to swap it for a new one because there's no guarantee that it's going to start behaving itself.

Nokia Asha 206 Phone memory problem.

I have a Nokia Asha 206. Recently I updated it. After the update now out shows phone memory full all the time though I don't have any file in phone memory accept those which I could not delete. Please tell me how to solve this problem cause even if anyone sends me text msg it does not come to my phone cause memory is full. Even I can't send any msg. Everytime I try to send or receive something it showed memory full.i have external memory having 700mb free space but only 37kb internal free space.

Hi, wasimul. Welcome to our community. We suggest deleting some of your files like photos, videos, and text messages that you no longer need. You can also save your contacts directly to the memory card to avoid such issue. Another option is to reset it to its original settings. Here's how: Restore factory settings. The link is still applicable regardless of your location. We look forward to your reply.

How to delete other files in phone memory

i had a problem that other files in my phone are rapidly increasing in size they have increased from 60 mb to 103 mb in two days and now my phone take so many time to process any application that i open.
Please help me i want to set memory card as default memory for all application as i had saved maps, messages in memory card.
I think that internet browsing has eaten my phone memory, i had also deleted all my privacy data from internet but nothing helped me.
Please help me guys how do i delete or move these other files.

It is very strange that you lost ~43 MB of phone memory in two days! If you think the web browser cache is still to blame, you can try deleting it manually using a third-party file browser like Y-Browser (http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html , then scroll to the bottom) or X-Plore (http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=download). Delete the entire contents of C:\System\Cache , but not the Cache folder itself. Reboot and see if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't fix the problem, some people have blamed Bluetooth file transfers on lost phone memory. Maybe you have done this lately? Otherwise see this thread for advice: /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E72-RM-530-Phone-memory-full-for-no-apparent-reason-any-solution/m-p/1... . (Beware that I rambled too much. ) Your best friend may be NetQin's Mobile Guard program. Its File Manager feature includes an "Analyse Storage" option that will look for the largest files on any drive. Post a followup if you need more advice.
