I was browsing through my phone and noticed that the internal storage memory had gone from 71mbs to 30 since I got the phone about a week ago and this is because of all the apps I added to the phone since then, but I found a way to free up some of that memory. I just went to settings/apps/manage apps and then I browsed through the apps and noticed that some apps had mbs of data being used up, for example the browser had 8 mbs of data being used up now I thougt about and said there's nothing I need saved to the browser so I deleted the data, and also deleted the data from youtube and other apps and freed up about 11mbs of memory on my phone without any damage done, my browse,youtube and all the other apps still work fine and I'm back up to 41mbs memory free from 30 mbs free. I didn't notice or experience no problems but do this at your own risk,I don't want nobody complaining to me that i mesed up there phone,I'm only trying to help out.
I did this to my faves which for some reason had 5MB of data... I don't even have a my faves plan as I am grandfathered into the best plan to date. All the internal apps have a clear button to clear data... all the add-on apps just have uninstall... wish we could clear data on them too.

You can free up even more by just removing the MyFavs app altogether. Unless that's what you're saying you did (I'm not sure).
I've considered removing MyFavs altogether, but if I do that I'll have to go to the website or call to update the names. They shouldn't change anytime soon, it's all friends, family, and work, but still.

How do you uninstall it? It doesn't give you that option because it is built in. Just like the browser. Let me know cause I noticed it still uses the MyFavs to talk to t-mobile every hour or so... would love to just get rid of it since I have no use for it.
Go into the browser and goto menu/more/setting/clear cache. This freed up about 20mbs of storage from my phone. I went from 11mb to 30mb of storage.

I don't have MyFaves on my account, and my phone never installed it.
... are you sure? go to settings ->applications->management and look. I don't see it on the phone but when I check that list it is there... and when I use the debug tools I see it pooling tmobile to see if I have myfaves and I assume looking for the 5 numbers.
I deleted the myfaves data and it cleared all my contacts and call log. Not a huge issue, but annoying
i cleared my favs data because i dont have myfavs, but now i keep getting a text message from myfavs that says:
Sorry, the service is temporarily unavailable
i have same issue about receiving a text saying myfaves doesn't work but i only cleared it once like 2 weeks ago. be careful because like the earlier poster said, clearing myfaves deletes all yuor contacts too. however, going on your gmail, and looking up your contacts can resync them

To free up phone memory you can go to Setting/Application/Application manager and clear default data of some software. But careful, if do that, you will del the backup infomation and setting of this software.

deleting the myfaves app kills syncing and I mean IT STOPS all syncing w/ goog which = no push mail and many other unpleasent things...
And it deletes your contacts if you clear the "my faves data"
tmob in its infinite wisdom replaced the contacts manager used by android with the myfaves app, I think there is or will be a way to restore the original handler on rooted fones, I forget where I read it probably here... just do the home+back alt-l thingy or whatever the commands are searching is fun.
moving the web and market caches to SD could get back like 30megs, Ive done the web and all seems fine, in a few days ill try the market, but most peeps are posting no probs AFAIK.

I did the clear data for MyFavs and yes it does clear your contacts.
To restore it I went to menu/settings/data synchronization/ then unchecked auto-sync then re-checked it and started the sync process and restored all info from my gmail account.
I don't have MyFaves on my account, but the MyFaves application takes up a whopping 88kb... I could care less if it's on the phone or not.

yup that fixes it, but I notice somebody posted they removed the myfaves app completely on a rooted g1, and Ive read here in another thread that that kills the entire sync process with GOOG,GMAIL whatever, its replaced the default android contact handeling app, folks are working on it, I also have a plan way better than any offered on tmob ATM, they have been raising prices and love to get those of us grandfathered in out of our plans, I only use like half my mins each month but with new plans I save like 10$ and loose 50-60% of my mins...
so Id like the original call handler back, these tmobile devs have screwed up more stable platforms than I care to remember.

you can save browser data and market data to sdcard it save so much space on the phone just go here:

Don't clear the browser app's data, you'll lose your bookmarks.
I did this hoping to free up the 5MB of space it was using...ended up losing my bookmarks as they are stored in the browser's data directory.
Looking for a bookmark sync app now so this does not happen again.
Yep, I also found out about this the hard way
Thats good to know as a new N1 owner. I was thinking of doing that as well
Where do you clear the browser data?

When you are in the browser and you press the little menu icon at the bottom and go into settings.
I cleared it via settings->application->browser
Clearing out the cache doesn't erase your bookmarks. Clearing app data (through settings -> applications -> manage your applications) seems to, however.
I wish to update my Android version, and have done this several times before, but each time I had to manually reinstall my apps and I would lose the app settings and (game) progress made.
I am rooted and have TWRP installed.
How can I back-up all the apps with settings, images, messages (sms/ whatsapp)?
My biggest problem is that my phone has very little storage left, so how can I back these things up to my PC?
Afterwards the upgrade I want to restore these as well.
Thank you

Try an app called helium. It lets you back up to cloud based storage
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
You can use an external program such as Titanium Backup for the apps and associated data needing to be saved (mainly games). It can also save your sms, call logs and wifi access points. I don't know for WhatsApp.
I once used Helium, but it failed restoring some games, I never had a problem with Titanium.
If you synchronise your applications in your google sync settings, all your apps from playstore should be automatically downloaded after first account add.
It is not generally recommended to restore apps, it can cause problems, so I recommend you to save only the apps with data/settings you cannot change manually or hard to retrieve. That won't take too much space. I usually only save games, or apps not coming from playstore/amazon appstore..., and sms, call logs and wifi access points. Then, once all the apps downloaded, i go into every one individually to change settings or log into (facebook, ...) according to my needs, that does not take too long generally.
So i'm using the stock Email app for exchange mail with my work and when syncing my "sent" folder it updated from the last time i synced it and was almost 5 months worth of emails however i have my sync limit to only 2 weeks.
Now i am getting the following message:
Storage Space is running out
Delete items in storage to receive new emails
However i have plenty of storage left on the phone (over 8gb) and i even went into the storage setting in settings and cleared all the app cache which gave me an additional 1gb of space figuring it would clear the cache from the email app but it didn't. I need this to work for my work email and need to find out where the all the data is hiding for the email app so i can delete it.
My phone is rooted but on stock rom so i can go delete where ever i need too.
Thanks!
EDIT: When looking at "app info" it's showing total storage of 34.43mb with data only showing 34.42mb with 0.00 cache since i just cleaned it. I really don't want to have to restore the phone so looking for an alternative.
So i tried removing and re-adding my exchange account, cleared ALL app cache and neither worked.
I used Titanium Backup to "wipe data" in the email app and that cleared it all up.
Thank you Titanium Backup!
Just wondering if you've find the solution. I have exactly the same problem now.

As i posted, i "wiped" the data via titanium backup (my device is rooted) and that fixed it. Also it has never happened again. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
Hi,
I own a Huawei P8 that runs on B370.
From time to time I get this pop-up message when opening an app that asks me if I want to remove the data restriction. Offcourse I choose to remove the restriction. But that doesn't seem to help. I've added some screenshots (in dutch).
Things i've noticed while on data connection:
Google apps don't work
Synchronization problems in google-account
Gmail (+others) asks to sign in, but when pressing the button it doesn't
No location services
Tethering/hotspot doesn't work probably due to no access
Some apps (snapchat, etc.) don't load or pushes notifications
While other apps run smoothly on my data network...
On wifi no problems!!
I don't want to do a full reset of my phone, so I hope somebody knows how to fix this!
Thanks!
Try updating to B380. There are some changes to data management ui. Before that you can clear the data of System manager app.
