Possible solution for "low on space" notification

[smoknjo]

brick

just as a follow up to my "low space" notifications ... after deleting twitter, everything was fine until yesterday, i got the message again, shortly after, another notification, and then another popped up ... so I cleared all data from my calendar and then my contacts ... then the force closes began ... one after another ... I pulled the battery, as it began to reboot, it started over and rebooted, and again and again in a loop. brought it back to verizon ... dead phone, replacement on the way and i'm sad, I'm going to miss my amoled screen, bastards

factory reset didn't fix it?

THANK YOU THANK YOU ... I performed the hard reset and now my Incredible is Incredible again ... sure I lost all my apps, settings and contacts, but my pictures, video's, calendar info is intact ...

this goes to show you that tech support and service techs don't know enough, I almost threw in the towel

THANKS CBLJazz for the idea

if that doesn't help I would suggest not using the stock email and messages app. This bug never appeared again after I deleted some apps and used K9 email app and handcent mms. From what I've heard the main cause of this is the stock mail app.

Agree...I use the stock email app with my Bellsouth account. I thought when I was deleting the emails after I read them that they were gone...NOPE! They go into a Trash folder where they have to be deleted again. I had over 6300 emails to delete and there's no easy way to do it. You either delete them one at a time, or batch delete which only seems able to handle 4 or 5 at a time. I ended up clearing the data on the application menu, then set-up the account again.

@CBLJazz - You mentioned that you emptied the trash on all email accounts . . . that's what I'm trying to do on my Moto Droid; however, there are several THOUSAND emails to delete. Is there an easier way than manually going into the trash folder and checking on each individual email to delete?

I don't see how the trash on the stock email app can cause a problem. The emails are stored in a cloud somewhere, not on your phone. Mine has been doing this today and is about to drive me nuts. It may be time to flash a new ROM.

I got the warning today. 25mb of free space on my D1. I deleted a bunch of apps and the rejected text messages came through within a couple of minutes. Kind of stinks I can't use that last 25mb of free space on the phone or else I get no text messages. That means I really only have 225mb of space on the phone. And of course the OS takes up some of that room too. Then again, I really didn't need all those apps either. Firefox is what broke the limit I think, so I uninstalled that and a few others I don't use often. Most frivolous apps you can always delete and re-grab when needed too.

Emptying the trash didn't solve anything.
Ultimately had to reset.

btw,
The only fast way i know to delete numerous is on a pc.

+1 for clearing the message history, that worked for me. I tried clearing Internet cache and call history first but only when I cleared all my text message history did the icon go away. We'll see how long it lasts.

QUICK APP CACHE CLEAN
& deleting call history and old messages has freed up a lot of memory.

Delete your email account from your phone...that will get rid of all your folders (read, sent, trash, etc) then reinstall your email account. You'll have plenty of space then and if you remember to delete your trash when you finish, you'll be able to manage your account.

Forget what I said the message came back. I have narrowed it down to adobe air. As soon as I uninstall that app the message goes away.

Nothing 100%. Turning off synch to the HTC Facebook app seems to help, and using cache cleaner seems to help. I think it is RAM (running apps), more often than phone memory that is triggering it. You can use the Android System Information app from the market to see the RAM (and lots and lots of other good stuff too). If available RAM drops below 25% I see it. If Internal Memory drops somewhere below 50% I see it (that can be helped by moving as many apps as possible to the SD card).

Internal Phone Storage has no impact, and since hardly any apps can see it is virtually useless anyway. I would have preferred if they just put the 8 gig into internal memory like Motorola did on the DroidX (although almost more useless there since only app storage and cache could use it, but you would never ever run out unless you installed like 1000 apps....).
