Hey guys, I'm new here so I hope i am asking this in the correct forum.
I have an att Expo with stock Rom, win 6.5 and I am trying to download a large file for the internet.
The file is about 76mb. I have about 30mb free on the phone and I have a 2 gb memory card the is empty.
When I try downloading it directly to the memory card it gets about half way through (Im guessing about 30 mb into it) and then gives me a error message about running out of memory. ''You are criticaly low on Memory'' or something.
My question is, To download this file do I need 76 mb of space on the handset so that it can then be transfered to the memory card after download? if so then Is there a way to download directly to the memory card without using device storage?
Thanks guys, you rock!
I am pretty sure that you are running out of ram when you download the file; I could be wrong though? also why dont you just connect your expo to your pc and get the file that way?
I actually needed the file while I was at work and I did not have a computer handy. But I was able to get the file using Pocket Downloader freeware. It downloads it directly to the sd card regardless of ram size.

Thanks for the reply.
All you guys still rock.

I sometimes download podcasts when i am out and about but it just seems to hang after a few minutes and never completes the download. I assume that this is because the files are bigger than the internal memory i have available on the device. Does anyone know how to download files to the sd card rather than the system memory
Cheers

hi, in my experience, when you click a link for download a window appear that ask you if you want to change the the file name and where to save. and I just chane it to storage card. didn't your universal do this? i've just downloaded a 12MB file with my universal and saving it to my storage card. the largest file I download was a 32MB file.
In my experience, the file being downloaded in pie is actually stored in a temporary file on the main storage memory, and then moved to whatever destination you required. There's no way around this, unless you your a download manager-type app.
This is just *my* experience, though. your mileage may vary.
I have downloaded a 432 MB file in my storage card with PIE...
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?

How full is the phone memory? Details...
Did you download something? Downloaded files usually goes to the root of the main memory.
search moving cache on here, that takes up a big chunk of memory...

how , pls tell me
I've got the same problem with my son's phone it keeps on coming up with the message "your phone is running low on free storage space. delete old or unused items to create more space" when I look in file explorer/ windows/youtube its full of old files but will take for ever to delete them indavidualy does anyone know how to remove these old files as I can't access them when the phone is conected up to the pc, plus is it possible to change the cache so these files are saved to the memory card instead.
Please help as my son is driving me around the bend asking me to fix it !!!!!
Hard reset the phone to clear the storage.
Also check you don't have something like voice recorder activating in your pocket or something creating large files of nonsense filling the memory.
I've managed to delete all the old you tube files 525 of them but storage memory is still full
total 180.98mb
in use 177.89mb
free 3.09mb
so now I don't know whats using allthe memory
does any one have any idea whats wrong
cheers

youcan access them from your computer so long as you allow hidden and system files.(in win 7 open the phones windows folder, click alt, tools, folder options, then I think its the second tab, un tick hide protected files and the hidden files one, apply and they should appear.you MAY need to apply to all folders)
or, use resco explorer on your hd2, much than the built in one and will also allow you to choose to un hide system and hidden files.
as for multi select...in resco is a menu option for multi select.
Going to do a hard reset but can't keep on doing that every time it fills up it's only been 2 weeks since it was last reset.
In Settings\System\Memory it is showing that I only have 6.26MB of storage memory free out of 43.5 total. When I click on the storage card tab it shows Storage as 9.93 total 9.09 in and only 0.84 Free. I have looked in file explorer and the storage is full of .CAB files a lot of the names start with Signed_UNI_o2UK_. Can someone tell what these may be and do I still need them as I have flashed the ROM.
This now causing problems with eWallet as the sync with PC seems to use the storage area for the temp files and there is now not enough space to do this. Does anyone know how to get more storage memory. I have tried moving some of the Signed_UNI_o2UK_ files but they are write protected. Any help would be gratefully received.
It would be good to know what ROM are you using
If it´s a WM6.5 it´s normal that you have low RAM free as it´s very heavy
Try installing a 6.1 ROM
Hello guys, my internal storage is running out of space for no apparent reason, so I downloaded DiskUsage to see what's wrong, screenshot is attached, it shows a segment called system data which is taking up around 4gb of space, I use Omega 10, aren't system files supposed to be sharing part of the 16 gbs available internal memory and that's why only around 9 are free? or did I miss something?
Hey man try using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468596
I used this on my s3 and it was awesome I turned my 16 GB s3 into a 64 GB s3

Did you transfer file from your computer and failed?. if yes.. Go to Setting, More, Storage miscellaneous files find the file that you transfer from your computer and delete.. that will make your storage free saome space..

I don't understand the question, as far as I know I had no file transfer issues, besides the data that was taking up the space wasn't visible anywhere on the device storage, anyway I've solved the issue by formatting the internal storage and re-installing rom, but I would still like to know what caused this to happen, DiskUsage now shows only around 400mb used as system data instead of 4000mb, so it's back to normal I guess.
At what percentage ?
Hi I'd like to know at what percentage of storage do we get the " Storage running out" Notification in a regular Android smartphone ?
