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 !

Wp8 app install in sd card once phone memory gets ...

Wp8 is lacking a big selling property that is, it cannot provide option to install, Apps in sd card Once phone Memory gets full, all wp8 vendors are giving stupid suggestions to switch to 920 if they need more app space, 820 is a phone at least needs 16 gigs of phone space

Are you able to move the application installed in your phone to the SD card ?
Go to the application list
Scroll to and open Storage sense
Tap phone
Select a category (apps + games, music, videos, podcasts, photos)
Select the app
Tap 'move to SD card'

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

C3 phone memory showing full but phone empty PLEAS...

i have a c3 an the phone memory is says i only have 3mb left yet nothin is on my phone ive tried to hard reset the phone to factory settings but this just lessens my small amount of memory i have got left... when i explore my phone i have nothing in it evan deleted clip arts etc to free spae up... please someone help

I have been having this problem since the latest update a few days ago. I was out using my phone for about 3 hours and it showed that it was still full and all of a sudden it shut down. I restored my phone and it's doing it again as I'm typing. I have to shut down the phone and turn it on again a few times for the battery indicator to show the correct charge.
Another issue that I've been seeing since the 3.0 update is my service indicator constantly showing "searching" even though i can make calls. For this to be corrected I have to either 1. shut down my phone and turn it back on or 2. place it on "airplane" mode then turn "airplane" mode off.

How long does it take for the phone to get full service after you insert the sim card???

I got my Droid Incredible in the mail today, and inserted the sim card and somehow online I think I deactivated my old phone, and I've been waiting for my new phone to receive full service for maybe over an hour now. I cannot call customer service or anything because both my old and new phone cannot make any calls because neither of them are activated. Please help!

I had a similar issue activating by HTC DNA. The activation instructions Verizon sends are horrible since they explicitly mention that you do not need to call in to activate your phone. I left my SIM activation running overnight and it just didn't work. I finally called Verizon from my work phone the next day and the agent informed me that you do need to call to activate your SIM card. You will need to have your SIM card ready when you call (to provide the long string of numbers on the back of the card). Hope this helps!

MacBook Pro 13-inch (2009) memory gets full and machine slows down?

Today I got the message that I cannot run Time Machine backup because memeory is full. The machine is almost non-esponsive, and I cannot open new programs. Have shut down many programs, but still no action. Restart is the only solution.
This happens a lot, so is there a memory handsling problem with these machines? Have other older and newer MecBook Pros, and they do not have this memory full/system slow issue?
The machine has 5Gb RAM, and all the latest software and firmware updates.
PLease help, because this is making the machine unusable in a production environment.

Thanks foir the answer, but already familiar with all those possible obstacles. I work quite technically with computers and development.
My harddisk is 1/3 full, and the backup disk is triple the size of my disk. Anyway, that does not expl<in that the RAM gets eaten up, and not cleared. M;y MacBook acts like an application without garbage collection, with just fills the RAM, and then collapses. I didn't think that kind of trouble would exist on a new Mac in 2010?!?
Could this be caused by software? It doesn't seem likely to me, bacause then I would be able to observe a process eating the capasity. To me it looks like the operating system...
Any advice?

N97 Phone Memory Backup?

After Updating to ios 5 My entire phones memory was full why?

I updated my Iphone 4 to the new soft wear ie ios 5. After doing so I noticed that my phones memeory was almost compleatly used up and the majority of that was in the other catigory. Now my phone is running pretty slow and its really annoying me. I'm not sure if there is something i need to do to fix this or if maybe a restore would fix the promblem. Ik I don't have enough stuff on it in the "Other" catagory to take up that much space. I hope someone can help!!

ok thanks for someone "Wjolsten" pointing out that i might have put on the 'ringer silence' button on on the side of the phone. ......................... boy do i feel stupid. thanks all the same for the 'tech support' from Apple, Geniuses?? i dont think so.

IPad memory getting full--itunes music

I am running out of space in my Ipad. Usage claims that there is 5.9 gb taken up by itunes but when I plug it into the iMac, the music isn't there. How do I find this music and delete it?

Your problem was that you could not see the music at all, do you see it now?
If you do, there are two possibilities (click songs to display): it really is on your iPad, or there is a little cloud with an arrow on the right side of the music. In the last case these are in the cloud. Settings/Music/iTunesMatch to off.
