HD2 Internal memory

Hi,
I bought unbranded sim-free HD2 with 1.48 ROM. Since i bought the phone, I never installed any software on internal storage. I always select SD Card.
Yesterday I tried to download a 65MB file on my SD card through Opera and I got error insufficient storage.
My HD2 shows Total Storage = 181.47 MB, Used = 105.63 MN and Free 75.84 MB.
Could you please share how much free storage you have and how can i increase the free storage in my phone.
Thanks

Guys,
Please guide me to increase my internal memory

To be honest, that sounds pretty normal. I'm suprised you'd be trying to download a file of that size to your phone.
Can you not just download it on your PC and then (if it needs to be on your phone) copy it across using a USB cable?
Edit:
There are methods of freeing up some space - search for moving cache files and you'll probably find something.

Usually I'm not as patient as members like Skip or Antonio to name a few, but you could take a look at this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this or this post.

From time to time you need do some clean ups get rid of caches caused by different apps. HTC album, facebook,...
In case of download you can also have a look at #65 in the thread mentioned above. Move the opera cache to the storage card and you will be able to download the file vie browser as well. The downloaded fie is loaded into the phone storage ...

Thanks for OPera cache tip. I'll try that

Hi pda_crazy
The 181.47 is your onboard flash storage, you need to see SD Card under settings>SD Card & Phone Settings down the bottom
Your phone is not detecting your card because it is probably corrupt, I tried to reformat my 2GB SD that came with my phone because mine was not detecting the SD card and windows said it was corrupt. Purchased a new 8GB MicroSD and was able to format disk and since then the phone recognises it and had no problems.
Hope that helps

Try the attached cleantemp program,
in the menu/main settings change the custom folders to:
1. windows/opera/profiles/cache
2. application data/htc/album/cache
3. windows/youtube ( you may not see this directory if you dont use youtube)
Clean the phone
This should help

like 4tune said: there are some threads, which explains, how to save main storage, also sticky posts. just use search function of Board in Leo-Area.
e.g. "save or free" "main storage"
or
"move google maps to storage card" (would save 20-40 mb)
or
"treesize mobile" (free app which shows you where/how much you have stored - perhaps you know it from your PC)
And everywhere also the same remark all above: install as much as possible and senseful for you by default to storage card.

I'm a T-Mobile Rep and stumbled upon this thread when trying to help a customer set his default storage to the SD Card. While I was reading this thread the customer actually solved his own problem.
Go to MarketPlace, Select Menu, go into settings. You will then see where you can set the default storage to Memory Card. I'm an android guy but I'm learning more and more about Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and even Nokia/Ovi/Symbian.
Cheers!

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 too: \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?

Help! Device storage memory showing very low - few progs. On device

I have a Htc HD2 . It had been working very smoothly . But today suddenly after i backed up my device on my storage card it shows that DEVICE storage memory critically low in spite of having only 5-6 programs on my device rest all are on my storage card. i have also backed up my device on my storage card ( sd card) . so no point of backup taking up the memory . every time i see the free memory it reduces . Is there any malicious agent doing so or registry problem .
PL HELP !!! do i have to Hard reset my phone . If not please suggest some software or some technique!!

you must know that a piece of install information of the program installed finish always in your device memory.
but I think your problem is the HTC-Album cache or opera cache, but probably the HTC Album cache.
if you go in \Application Data\HTC\HTC ALBUM\ you can see if the problem is the cache folder
If the problem is that, you can find a solution here

Thanks a lot !!! Your advice was quiet precise ...It helped me . Now i can cope up with it..

Low storage memory HD2
I've had this problem for weeks. I tried everything said here to no avail. The little space finder program found it at last. It was the download folder in opera full of stuff I thought deleted (over 100meg). Used active sync to open the file and delete the contents. Folder is windows/opera/downloads.
There should be an option to download contents to memory card then this wouldn't happen. Head ache solved.
Regards

How do I clean the album cache without making any damage?
It takes now 16M of my storage.
I cant simply delete it isn't I?

Cache Reg Settings

After looking on the forums i have changes the opera cache setting to my storage card.......Is there reg setting so I can move google maps cache to storage card. Also same goes for YouTube.
Where does the Facebook album files get downloaded to and can that be moved to storage card.

Anyone help?

I haven't found a registry setting to move the Google Maps cache but I have moved it and all seems to be well so far. Move the 'Program Files\Google Maps' folder to the 'Program Files' folder on your card. Do the same with 'Application Data\Google Maps' and move it to the 'Application Data' folder on your card. Create a shorvut to GoogleMaps.exe on the storage card and use this go run the program.

I have played with Google Maps some more and decided to try the latest version, 4.0. It installs happily to storage and puts its cache there too. Everything works apart from showing where GPS photographs were taken on the map. This problem can be overcome by making sure that Google Maps is already running and is logged into Latitude. If it isn't, a 'resource_loader' error results. I think this might be a bug in Google Maps itself.

youtube Application indicates "Storage Full"

Anybody encounter this issue?
I checked the internal and external memory card, both still have more than 40% of free space.

anybody can help me?

Your phone memory is prob really low, maybe under 9mg or something like that
You might need to unistall some programs from the phone and on to your memory card instead

yes, it happens when your internal memory is less. uninstall some files on the internal memory. it happened with me after i installed lot of gameloft games...they install on device.

maybe you can try installing youtube on your storage card. the cab can be found in m.youtube.com/app

I get this alot too, go to file manager, windows, youtube, menu, edit, select all, back to menu, delete. And also go to Opera, and clear the cache

delete cache files in applications/album and google maps cache..also install the new gmaps 4.x version on the sd card and uninstall the older version on the internal memory..........it helped me and now i have 50 MB free space

My HD2 storage space is depleting. What do I do?

I removed some applications to regain some storage space but it is depleting constantly. I cannot figure it out why. I use SD card to keep Opera cache. How can I prevent the storage space from depleting? Thanks.

I had same problem. I realised that when iuse you tube hundreds of files download temporary in system/windows/you tube. So delete that folder completely. But you will loose your history. And see in the folder system/application data/htc/ htc album/cache. And delte all files except maptable and thumbcaches. These files are not needed. and it also weighs a lot.

Thanks a lot Urvansh. I deleted all the files in htc album/cache except maptable and thumbcaches as you suggested. The files I deleted had taken about 18MB.

low on internal storage memory?, read this:
It seems that opera9 keeps all cab files you downloaded in the folder:
windows/opera9/profile/download/
I bet you opera10 does the same.
I had about 79MB of application cab files there, using up internal storage memory, which I did not need, and had no idea were there.
I found them using 'treesize mobile', available on the marketplace for free.
Also, I checked the program files folder and found that applications which I had previously uninstalled still had folders in there with files in them.

Go check out Clear Temp which is a great little app that helps you keep most of those pesky temp folders cleaned out and not using memory resources.
