Hi.....I am new to HTC, I have HD2 which is an amazing device,the issue I am facing now is very annoying.
I am getting this message regarding memory space too low and i need to delete unused files....etc.
Can someone guide me how to direct the temporary files of IE to the memory card, i mean automatically the temp files are stored on the memory card and at the same time i want for the email and the pictures/videos to be stored on the memory card instantly.
I have an external memory of 8GB and it is frustrating to see this issue still.
Please help me out.
ROM and RAM could be different things...
Would you like to tell, which ROM version you are using? or What apps you running?
I have the same problem
My ROM version is 2.10.531.7 Artemis 8.0 WWE
I have NO idea what I am doing wrong ?
I am not using IE but Opera, please advice =(

Welcome to forums
It´s the 1st time I hear about low memory on Leo
I would recommend you to do a hard reset, perhaps some app is making problems.
Go to Leo section and to Wiki to learn all how to´s
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!

Welcome aboard too,
I would recommend the same as above, just enter to your proper section here
Good luck,
Same problem here have rom 166 end my memory is gone after using you toube
find 33mb have to delete them manuelt
It seems that Opera 9 saves downloads to a folder on the phones 'device memory', but it doesn't always delete them when you tell opera to do so in the downloads menu tab.
It saves them to: \My Device\Windows\opera9\profile\download
When I deleated most of the files there, it released over 110 MB of space in the device storage .
I wonder where other programs save similar files?

Every Youtube Video you view is stored on the phones memory. I was having the same issue on my HTC HD2 until I went into the File Explore, my device and then Windows. Click on the youtube folder and delete all of the videos found in this folder. I had over 500 videos stored here and my phone constantly displayed the low space warning and acted sluggish.....now it's fine...Give it a shot!

Hello so far the only easy way to solve this, I found is a little program called clear temp.
Can´t post links but if you google you will find it . its free as well
See what you guys think.
Thanks Tony for that tip. I own an HD2 myself and have experienced that same issue. I do know that you have to do the same with messages and emails as well.once you delete you still have to go tio the deleted folder and permanently delete the messages from your device.txt messages alters and take up lots of space.
Have an hd 7 now and hope not too have the same problems as with the hd 2.

Hey guys,
My internal memory is low. And I'm having a popup message every 5 seconds of the day telling me my memory is critically low... It's driving me insane! I need a solution here. That's why I turn to you guys!
I would appreciate the heads up about finding more storage space. What I'm looking for all together is a program that will "trick" my htc wizard to think the sd card is actaully the internal storage memory. I want my memory to read something like this (example);
Storage
Total: 2000MB
In use: 50MB
Free: 1950MB
(Again, the total of 2000MB (2GB) is the actual SD card being read as the main memory.)
...instead of reading what usually is shown on the memory screen (below).
I am sure there is a program out there that can do this. I've seen something like that a while ago but chose not to use it since it wasn't any use to me.
Anyways, I'd really like a heads up...

doesn't work like that man... wish it did what rom are you running? whatever it is, reflash or flash something else... you are not out of memory, wm is just being stupid...
hehe it not possible to do it like that.
it's not the same as your computer, but try to convert part of your HDD to ram ( VIRTUAL MEMORY never act like real RAM ) .
the best way is to install everything on an SD card and to flash to the lightest ROM u'll find here .
WRONG!
Hey guys,
I'm telling you it exists. I've even marked it on a text file. I just don't remember what file that is... I think I got it from one of those site like freewareppc.com.
Anyways, like I said I wrote it on a text file in a computer; but which? My comp? My laptop? My girlfirend's laptop? My cousin's computer in Florida???
Heck, for the life of me I don't remember... But I will find it! When I do, I'll be waiting for appologies aside from the thank you's and financial "contributions" to have the prog! (Joking on that last one! )
Really guys, I'll be contributing something big when I DO find it!
Keep you all posted!
Phil
PS - I hope you keep ME posted if any of you find something like that...
PSS- If I remember marking it on a text file, could it have been a registry edit and not a plugin / prog? Hmmm, I wonder.

..maybe you need to think for a while...
you gave us screen, that tells, that you have almost clean, fresh booted machine.
try to see difference between STORAGE mem and STORAGE CARD.
try to measure speed difference, and overall gain ;/.
msg 'bout lack of storage MEM, while you have whole 45 mb storage MEM free is absurd.
check your hklm.init
check your startup(with startup manager(search on xda forum for that one..)),
check storage card space,
check your notifications,
try to figure out, which active(yet hidden/tsr) soft is making that "lack of space" message,
if you cannot handle software you are using...
there's no point in making storage card storage memory, anyway.
yet.
there is a little freeware called cleartemp that works just fine I had the same problem on my hermes after using this prog ended up with 20 MB of free memory I think this problem comes from installing programs that can not be completely uninstalled and just mess up ur phone
Thanks for the heads up...
Hey guys,
Thanks for the heads up on ways to free space and little progs that clear a lot of unused memory. But I am still convinced this program exists. I will find it and then I'll get my thanks!
Hey nothin, that is just an example screen. That's not my actual screen. I have less than a mb available in my storage.
And as mohen pointed out, it can be done on a computer. Shrink that technology and it'll be able to be applied to a ppc!

Yeah, I tried it. It creates another drive (like storage folder) that appears in your file manager called ramdisk. I used the reg file in the program to put the temp internet files and cookies to this drive. It works, my internet files are being stored here. We need some benchmark program to really determine if it speeds anything up.
About Ramdisk...
Hey guys,
So let me get this straight, this will actually use ram from my sd card and make it "virtual" storage memory? Or is it another program that cleans up the temp files???
Not sure if this is what I am looking for but I'm willing to give it a shot...
By the way, can anyone tell me how to install this file??? I'd really like to get it running!
Phil
Hello?
Anybody there...?
I'm still trying to figure out how to install this program. Anyone up to give me some pointers please???
Phil
what's the point to put the internet files cache on the virtual drive ?
u can put it on the SD card as well, i'm confused
Okay here's the deal...
Alright,
Now I've just about exhausted any and all resources I had to try and find this program / registry edit that turns my SD card into internal memory...
Here's my promise to the one that can find me this; 30$. The person that finds me this gets 30$. I will personally send it to you or transfer via email or maybe even paypal. I will also make a donation to this forum.
I can't stress enough how I had this on my phone back in January and after modding my phone so many times, it's gone. I'm pleading with you guys to try and find me this solution.

Hi,
I flashed my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday with this ROM. Suffice to say Im pretty pleased with it, however my Diamond doesnt have a lot of storage space left (on the device, i.e. not the 4GB internal storage or RAM) and as a result I keep getting nasty messages telling me to free up some space etc...
I appreciate that its a beefy ROM with Sense 2.5 but I dont understand what is happening. When i flashed the phone I had about 8MB free. I put a 6MB ringtone into the ringtones folder before noticing how little space that left me with (2MB) and then deleted it. Now a couple of days later I notice that I have less than 1MB of space, yet I havent installed any apps to the device storage so what has been filling the space up? This morning I attempted to install Facebook and Google Maps to the storage card via Marketplace as these were already on the device storage but it doesnt seem to have freed up any space.
Does anyone know how I can free up some space please? None of the apps cooked into the ROM appear in the "Remove Programs" app.
Cheers.
Hi,
Things like e-mail import, text messages, temporary files just take a lot of space of the memory.
AthenaROM is not very good, I suggest you flash for example Gen Y D2X.
Hard-resetting is the only way to clean it up, most of the files are system files that will return after deletion.
Hi thanks for your reply.
I'll check out that other ROM; for the moment I've simply copied some non-Marketplace apps to the storage card and placed shortcuts into the /Windows/Start Menu folder on the device memory. Only thing is the icons dont show, anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks.
I have been experiencing low internal memory on my Sensation and it is not letting me do anything with the phone (not receiving/downloading emails, no voice mails, Ive deleted apps that I used daily). Internal memory is usually around 1GB. I am down to 32MB. I have deleted texts, voicemails, apps stored on the internal memory and it will help but then the space drops back down. Can someone please tell me what is making the memory drop? I am not downloading emails, keeping texts, etc.
My phone is rooted and s-off. No custom ROM. I have 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0
I had read in these forums about something that can be done in regards to a script or folder. Something to that extent. I have tried everything. I used the make more space feature (clear app cache) and it barely helps. I did a factory reset but it deleted all my contacts and texts (I dont want to do that) so I restored everything back through clockwork recovery. I know there must be something I can do. I have ES File Explorer, can someone please tell me what folder to look in and delete or clear out (I don't want to delete something I am not suppose to). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Just a thought, do you have lots of clockworkmod backups, because they can take up a lot of space if you have lots of them.
You could you could try going through each app you have and see how ugh space it takes. Also move some of them to sd card?
Many apps do not move to sd card well, and store their data on internal memory, like corporate email. And.the atachmeta.would be a problem. So go.through the apps and you should find the one Hittite on your storage.

One thing is sure my HTC is the shiznit tbh
Moving apps to sd card had always helped me also I look in es file explorer and delete old downloads, back ups I no longer need, junk left behind from old applications . I usually can recognise what's in the folder by looking inside each folder. You will recognise a folder left over from old applications as it usually had the name of the app associated with it. I am betting you need to clear out some old folders. I hope this helps. Best wishes .

It seems a problem with android 4+ I made a goo.gle link but haven't posted much here yet oQSfA is the extension of the url. If I am erroneously posting this, I am sorry. I have the same issue. If anyone can post a clickable link it might get stars quicker. It might be fixed in jelly bean, but I don't know.
Issue 39546:Files under DCIM/.thumbnails are eating away at SD card storage
I have since done factory restore with formatting the stock SD. File is there, much smaller though 197 KB. No pictures to thumbnail, so it isn't necessarily solved. I did switch out cards (old 16GB to stock 4GB) before format and delete the .thumbnail file but that was recreated even with no pictures. I figured it may be my picasa account, but have since opened gallery. After letting more (from Picasa) picture and folder thumbnails appear than ever before my file is still small
.:banghead:
it still (6+ hours) has not grown giant. In fact its not really there. I didn't disable any of TMobile bloat like I did initially, and have the blank SD. In the process of reinstalling apps reopening gallery and checking space with storage analyzer.
I still don't like not being able to choose internal USB or external storage SD. Most apps "moved to SD card" just move to USB storage. Interestingly tapatalk appeared to move to the real external SD card as did a few others.
I doubt this will be fixed on ICS. I can hope though. It seems like the app itself needs to use the external SD directory, but the stock gallery might never be updated.
Samsung galaxy blaze 4G with stock ICS 4.0.4. All the extra TMobile apps are a pre-installed, but not updated.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable enough to know what I don't know. I always reserve the right to be wrong.
Taking pictures didn't make thumbnail file huge, but one relatively small video of 29 seconds with a 5MP camera created a 47mb file and two 3mb files in the thumbnail folder. Not huge but bigger than 10%.

finally it worked... thanks a lot bro...
for all others dealing with same issue, here is what i did... just replaced the thumbnail file with another file created with root explorer named it same as the thumbnail file n removed the write permissions of the new file created... so it wont let system write any data in it. therefore it stays empty.
Hi. I posted in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66162018#post66162018
but nobody seems to follow it or answer for 8 days now...
I believe my problem is not model specific, rather universal, so i need just a little bit of assistance in finding the file neccessary for editing, and edit it accordingly. I'll paste the important part here:
"cubot one has about 8 GB of INTERNAL memory which is again (probably virtually) divided into internal memory of about 1,06 GB and external memory of about 5,96 GB.
under storage settings , no matter which i pick, external or internal storage for gallery , video , music, it doesn't work...
i cannot shoot pictures, video, download pictures or video from whatsapp, download ringtones etc because it is always saying that there is no sd card. how do i force it to accept that "virtual" sd card or even internal memory?
edit: i managed to get the storage working, but not permanently. i put in sd card from my phone into my wife's phone, shot some pictures, video, etc. removed the sd card, and checked if i got the same message. I DIDN'T! storage is still working, pictures and video are going under /storage/sdcard0/dcim/... ringtones are also available for download and i can finally access the "local" tab with default ringones. As i said, this is not a permanent solution, because as soon as i reboot the phone, the problem is back again. I believe it is all a matter of changing a few lines inside a single file (maybe vold.fstab? ), so i need someone to help or at least put me on the right track to do it myself."
thank you in advance.
