Phone memory issue in Nokia E5

The phone memory of my E5 is decreasing day by day. Menu->Options->Memory Details->Main memory shows 135 MB files in Others section, but I am unable to view any such large files even using third party browser like Xplore. I do not have any pictures, songs or videos in phone memory neither any large applications (apart from the pre-installed apps). The firmware version is 042.014, will upgrading the firmware resolve my issue. Please suggest.

Hi jimmyireland,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply...the solutions provided in the article helped to recover only a few MB of memory...but a huge amount around 133 MB is still being occupied by the Other Files which is not even viewable by Xplore or any other third party file browser and the volume of this Other Files keeps on incresing every day...I am afraid that one day it will consume the entire phone memory...unless Nokia comes up with a fix for the same very soon....

    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).

  • *URGENT* N96 Phone Memory Issue

    Just hooked my N96 via the USB cable and cleaned some stuff that I do not need of it. 
    Then, the thing that I noticed was the fact that from the phone memory I have only 11MB left form the 83MB!!  Checked the files in the phone memory one by one and then checked the total phone memory usage and is only 367KB!!!
    Now the question is where is the rest ~70MB used in???!!

    Yeah, just did that and only 2.5MB got free!!
    Now went into the phone memory from the phone itself and did a scan break down of what is using and how much and found that I have 19MB in sis apps!!    I mean, I did remove all sis apps from the phone memory and installed them on the 16GB one!!  the rest is all 0 or about a few KB and then there is other files which has a 46MB usage.  Think that is the OS and stuff or not??!!
    EDIT: -> also there is a 4.5MB of messages, but all my messages are saved in the Internal Memory as I stipulated it!!  How come is that??  Does having e-mails set on the mobile effect such thing as I have 2 set??!

  • N70 Phone memory issue

    Hi,
    Using Fexplorer, here is what I see
    C: (8884/11804 KB) flash
    D: (1816/1831 KB) ram
    E: (400/489 MB) disk
    Z: (0 / 0 KB) rom
    Now when N70 has 22 mb internal memory, why i see only 11.5 mb ?
    I have formatted using *#7370# and formatted the rs-mmc as well.
    Thanks

    If you feel that this is a major issue then reinstall firmware. But before that hard reset your phone by
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.( Just in case of N78 it will be the multimedia key the small silver key on right side & for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up).
    3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
    4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    But keep a backup as you may lose your data. I dont know whether this trick actually works on N70.
    Mark my posts as helpful if anyone finds it! After all you will make us improve.
    Thanks for kudos if you give!

  • 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. 

  • Delete file from NOKIA C5-03 phone memory

    I still face a problem that when I buy mobile then phone memory was 40MB, but now it reduced to 30MB. I try to browse and remove unwanted file from phone memory. But nothing gonna happen.  I also use pc suite, mass storage etc, but can't. What can I do now?

    Try clearing browser cache and your messages from inbox. Try installing ET optimizer or netqin mobile guard. They both can be used to remove trash files.

  • Nokia 7373-how to move images etc to phone memory ...

    Hi Ive just bought a cool nokia 7373 and after bluetoothing all my images/videos/music from my old samsung Im having trouble sorting them all into images/videos/music folders.
    They are all in my memory card muddled up just now but if I mark all my pics and then go to move marked then send to Images folder its saying not enough memory?
    Why is this does anyone know as I thought I had more memory on the nokia than my samsung?
    Thanks in advance
    Laura.x

    Hi Jake,
    If you do the following steps, it should work!
    - Go to "People"
    - Click on "Phonebook" at the top so that the dropdown opens and shows you what it populating the contacts in your phone.
    - Uncheck everything but Google. (That means un-check Sim Card, Phone, Facebook, and even Google+)
    Once you do this, when you add new contacts, it should default to Google. The only other option is to "train" yourself to select your Google account rather than phone (under "Contact Type") when adding new contacts.

    Can aybody please tell me how i can completely remove all the contents from my phone memory of nokia n97?
    Is there any way complete hard reset of phone memory?

    in order to remove the content from mass memory - e drive you will need to reformat that drive and for the rest you can use the *#7370# code and the default security is always 12345 unless you change it.

  • TO NOKIA SUPPORT: Application Manager Memory issue...

    There is a STRANGE memory issue with Application Manager and Nokia N80 device. It's present in both N80 and N80IE and tried with Firmware versions from v3.x to lastest v4.x one.
    When you have installed many programs, tested with more than 150 counting SIS plus JAVA, Application Manager gets unusuable reporting continuosly "Memory Full - Please close apps..." and you can't do anything with it...
    This issue happens even after starting device without any resident app loaded and 14 Mbytes of free RAM so I think this is a limited memory issue available for Application Manager
    A curious thing is that you can Run and Enter Application Manager and installed App list is showed but not complete, it list all the SIS files installed (I think it start to list that type) and then the JAVA ones is cutted and dont appear the full list of installed apps of this type.
    Another curious thing is that if you uninstall a SIS app and Run again Application Manager the list is filled with one more app of JAVA type so this sound like a MEMORY ISSUE or deliberating restricting number of app listed?
    Perhaps app listing could be stored in a temp file and partially loaded in pages so memory don't get overheaded... :-?
    Today with 1 or 2 GB memory cards, this is a SERIOUS ISSUE.
    Please, could you confirm this and point me where to report this issue so it can be solved in future firmware updates?
    Many thanks in advance.

    So hope i.I'm preparing a bug report to post here.Maybe with our reports the new firmwares will be even better...if some Nokia guy is looking at what we're speaking

  • 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!
