Help Dialer Storage??

[Cotton123]

Is there a way to clear the app Dialer Storage? Right now its at 19mb with no way to clear the data. Is it recording numbers I am dialing?

hmmm.... easier to pass a phone audit huh? On the Dialer screen, hit Properties (bottom middle-left red button), then Call history, then Properties again, then Remove call history, check Select all at the top, etc. Wow I just removed 495 of them

Settings => Applications => All apps => Dialer storage => Clear data.

Only had 10 calls and its still reading the same. restarted the phone as well. It goes from 17mb at the lowest and 19 at the highest. So many apps and services they dont explain on HTC and Verizons sites. Have one called Scribble that I have no idea what its function is. After the jan. Verizon push and Plays conversion they showed up it seems. Thank you for the help though. Much appreciated

All the clear data settings etc.. are grayed out so I can only force stop it. Dont want to do that until I know what its got on it. Thanks for the help. I have enough memory but every bit counts sooner or later.

Deleting large texts should reduce the size of Dialer Storage.

This is the correct way to reduce the Dialer Storage number.... Photo's and large amount of text and really push this number high!

So is it safe to clear data or will I lose all my texts?

No, clearing this deletes all text including locked and pics

I would never had guessed nor do I get why pics would have anything to do with dialer. Is it because of the attachments sent in texts of pics? Thanks and I'll delete some pics and see if it changes. Thank you and the original quote that mentioned too. I appreciate the help

I have an HTC desire - I clear my dialer storage (gets up around 28mb) and don't lose any texts etc.

None of these work for mine. All the clear data settings etc.. are grayed out so I can only force stop it. Dont want to do that until I know what its got on it.

Hello Meridian1 and welcome to Android Forums. What exactly are you trying to do? Perhaps we can help you.

Hi. Hoping I can hop in on this thread and get some help. I have Galaxy S5 on Lollipop and can't find a way to clear my MASSIVE dialer storage data. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!

You're going to get the answer in the thread you started for your phone before you'll get it for an HTC from 2011.

Re LG E400 Dialer storage problem ...Solved ...I tried everything until i realised some app was stealing all the dialer storage (whatsapp) namely so uninstal it and download a new apk from anywhere the latest version ... good luck

I am fighting memory issues too.I do not have a phone plan, carrier, or sim and only use Google voice for occasional texting. Should my Dialer Storage and Z-Ram be High if I don't use my phone as a phone??? Honestly it's my sketchbook, bookshelf, tv, and gaming console so I don't understand why this is "High."

I've never heard the term "Z-RAM" in my life, and I've been working with computers since the 1980s and spent much of the last decade hacking phones. So not knowing what it is I've no idea why 7.5MB (negligible compared to the RAM capacity of any phone) is described as "high".

As for "dialer storage" (an app I don't have but I assume is similar to "contacts storage"), how much of that is the app as opposed to the data? My Contacts Storage app is 35MB itself, with another 7MB for the data it stores. So to me your app doesn't look suspiciously large.

thank you, I don't understand "Z-ram" either, and I literally have THREE CONTACTS. My husband, my mom, and my mother in law.... so that is high how???? I'm trying to kill whatever processes I don't need because this phone is so messed up, I just wrote a one page blog on all the issues I'm having. The nearest Samsung "Experience" Store is in NY, there's no way I am able to take it that far.

I wish my phone would storage all phone call history that large..I barely see twenty days ago and some how the phone it self manages to delete the phone calls as the days go by..I think is a good think..plus that data didn't have that much weight what so ever..but I think l if you are considering getting rid of it..you go to the app manager and follow @IOWA's suggestion..that's a good one..AND if you get the option "force to stop" do that too within the app..

Well go into you app manager (I think that's what Samsung still call what is "Settings > Apps" on every other android device), find this app and look at its storage usage. That will tell you how much is the app's data and how much is the app itself. It's quite possible that it's almost all the app, in which case apart from uninstalling updates (assuming you don't allow apps to update automatically and can ignore the constant reminder that there is an update to this one) or disabling the app there's nothing much you can do about it.
