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

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..

  • 6280 Main Memory always full!!!

    I am a HONG KONG guy. I brought a 6280 phone for 2 weeks, after install java game the Main Memory always full. I did all unwanted things in the Main memory but the result still..............
    I phoned to HONG KONG NOKIA customer hotline. I followed the steps but the bug wasn't fixed. I wasted 3 hours for waiting in HONG KONG (Mon Kok) NOKIA CARE center. Just want them receive the phone & fix it. The phone could not be repaired in an hours since there was overcrowded Let See how bad is it!!
    The staff said many 6280 had same problems. But nobody reported to headquarter.
    I think would it be possible to upgrade firmware at home like Pocket PC, computer mother board & display card etc.? Software errata are common in complex electronics product. Fix bugs via the internet can be reduced the cost in support & maintenance. Never waste customer’s time & company resource.

    Sorry for the link was broken.
    Let See how bad is it!!!

  • 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.

  • Nokia (N8) phone memory : best practices / guide t...

    Hi,
    I'd like to know what are the best practices to manage space / memory on my phone.
    On the N8 user guide, it is simply written : "If possible, install applications to the mass
    memory or memory card, rather than the device memory." (p.112) And that's all !
    If I understood well there are 3 types of memory on N8 :
    256 Mo RAM
    512 Mo ROM (Phone memory, C: )
    16 Go storage (Mass memory, E: )
    [and also 32GB expendable memory SDHC card 4x minimum]
    Since I bought my N8, I installed everything (apps and multimedia files) on E: (mass memory)
    Today I have on :
    C: Phone memory : 158 Mo free space over 254,4 Mo
    E: Mass memory : 732,1 Mo / 14,3 Go (with 12,3 Go of MP3 files)
    I am using a software called Netqin Mobile Guard for S^3 (which by the way I like a lot, especially the "prompt for connection" and the "web usage manager" functions) and it tells me that I have "insufficient memory on disk E:"
    So here are my questions :
    1 - Is it true that 732 Mo free on disk E: is not enough ?
    2 - Why is better to install everything on mass memory if there is 256 Mo RAM and free space on phone memory ?
    3 - If I use a SDHC card to free some space on E: (move all my MP3 files), will it consumes more battery power?
    I spent some time looking for answers on internet but I didn't find any to these questions... Any help would be much appreciated. Also if you have any advice on RAM optimisation, I'd take it ! My way to optimise it is to close all apps I'm not using from the app manager. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post, but I think it would be helpful for a lot of people!
    Regards

    Question 1.> 732MB is what is left on the internal mass memory. NetQin is just warning you that you do not have much storage left if you want to add more files. The " insufficient memory on disk E " is just an over dramatic warning in my opinion.
    --> this is also what I thought but as I wrote in my previous answer, I'd like to be sure my phone is not going to crash if my data reach 99% of E: capacity
    Question 2. > It is better to leave as much free memory as possible on the C drive to give the phone better performance. The less memory their is on C the slower the phone becomes.
    --> that's what I understood from what I've read but does it mean that "C: memory" is used more or less as additional RAM memory? Or is it just (as you say about Netqin app.) an "over dramatic warning" from Nokia to prevent users from reaching full capacity and then crashing the phone?
    Question 3. > I'm not sure by adding an SD card would consume any significant amount of extra power. Unless you are permanently accessing the SD card. It wont consume extra power when the phone is idle.
    --> then I may need to buy a SD card to  store all my MP3s and let everything else on the mass memory. I asked this question 'cause I remember having noticed using a palm with a sd card (I know this is old stuff) that it impacted the battery.
    It would be nice to have official statements from Nokia on these topics, don't you think?
    Thanks anyway for your answers!

    Is Mail being pushed to your device?
    Although it would be a pain necessitating backup of essential data first, you could always reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user).

  • Nokia E60 phone memory corruption?!

    My beloved E60 is finally giving signs of hard everyday use. I had it for about 2 years and its looks like there might be a corruption with the phone (not the memory card) memory. This is the internal 64MB. All my contacts are saved on the phone memory, as I make use of multiple entries for one contact. I do have a 1 GB MMC card, which tends to work, but don't use it to store anything on. Why do I think the phone memory is corrupt?
    Well, I had the following which in my opinion points to corruption:
    - unable to save contacts occasionally, says memory is full (even when there should eb a few MB's left)
    - some contacts from my address book, don't show any name, just the number, when they call me
    - doing a Backup with PC Synch, works, but oepning the nbu file, appears to be incomplete
    - the Contacts when loaded in PC Synch, do not all have phone numbers, despite having a number on the phone entry
    -  the MMC card sometimes says its corrupted, however, when ejecting it and then re-inserting it then seems fine
    I am running it with the latest firmware (3.0633.09.04). Its not under warranty any longer and I am happy to do a full reset, if only I could be sure that the backups I have (using the Create a Backup to Memory card) would work. Quite scared to trust it, as there are just too many contacts in the phone (numbers, addresses, email, fax etc). 
    If anyone has any thoughts on how to get this sorted, please post here - getting a bit desperate.
    Thanks

    The only thing I can suggest you do if your phone memory is truly corrupted is to reformat the phone. You can do this by using the *#7370# code. Please remember to backup your phone before attempting it. I would do 2 backups, one with eveything and one without the phone specific settings. The reformat will wipe out all your data. You will need the backup to restore your data back to the phone afterwards. You may also need to reinstall some of the applications you installed.

  • 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.

  • XM 5800 phone memory dissappearing

    My phone memory is gradually dissappearing on me.  I only ever install any apps onto the memory card, photos/music are all going to the card too.  I have very few sms stored on the phone and any bluetooth files get saved to the card the deleted from the phone.  Down to 11.5Mb from 18Mb a few months agao.
    I'm all upto date with the firmware V5. etc.
    Any ideas?

    Hi ,
    Did you install Nokia Internet Radio recently? I am having the same issue after installing the Nokia Internet Radio. Everytime I use the Internet Radio it is taking a small chunk of phone memory. And It creates some weird files on the phone memory under the folder IR_LOG. If I uninstall the Internet Radio I am getting back all my memory.

  • Mass memory always full

    hi there.
    i was wondering if anyone can help me
    i have had my N97 for bout 3 months now n i the fone is the best i had. until recentley. every time i go into a application like music and pictures it says that my memory is full and delete some memory. but i would understand if it was full but i have more than 28Gb left which is confusing me. i was wondering if anyone can help me
    thanks
    danny 

    that is a easy solution when you go in to your menu click message, then when in your message screen click options then settings then on that menu that comes up click other settings then to change memory. it should say phone memory, mass memory, and memory card(if you have a memory card you can save it to there) and select where you want to save it to and then your done. 

  • 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!

    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 !
