Hi All,

my U8150 is constantly running low on internal storage...  as much as possible I do move apps to SD, and theres still heaps of room thereh - am I doing something wrong still or do I just have too many apps on the phone???




Doing your best is much more important than being the best.

8150 has 200mb internal storage, so its not a lot and does fill rather quickly - you are best to move all the apps you can to SD card but they dont always let you - just need to be a little bit picky about the apps you install.

I only just had the low space message on my 8150 for the first time yesterday.

I never got the low storage message when I had mine but i always monitored my storage.

If you use a custom ROM then I found they give you a bit more storage space. I always found my U8150 to run considerably faster if you leave it with >50mb storage. It does mean you have to pick and choose your apps carefully.

I found the social networking apps to be the largest so I went with 3rd party apps that could be moved to the SD card.

If you are rooted and a little bit confidant, you can create a second fat32 partition on your sd card and use an app called link2sd to move apps across to that second partition. Works great and I never ran out of space using it.

You can also move some of the apps from the data partition into the system partition (i.e. replace the stock ROM versions with updated versions).
