Got Wildfire S, as per specifications, it has RAM: 512MB and ROM: 512 MB too.
When I see the memory status, I see: "Internal Storage: 107MB used, 43 MB Free"
I wonder, where did all the space went? I checked - all downloaded apps, music, pics are on SD card, cleaned caches etc. Any pointers to this? How to free up phone's internal storage?

The Wildfire S has an internal memory of 512MB. But the problem is that more than 70% of the space will be consumed by the OS itself. So, you will get only about 160MB of free space available on your phone.

The guy on youtube probably rooted the phone. find articles about HOW TO ROOT WILDFIRE S. He must have replaced the original rom with a custom one. I do not recommend you to do that. If you root the phone with a custom rom, you won't be able to upgrade your phone with an official upgrade.
So, I need some serious help. I got an 8 gb memory chip and my HTC Wildfire Andriod won't let me move all my pictures or music or anything else to it except apps. I don't know what to do!

U can always undo everything and get it back to stock for an update, but what's the point. Any update that is an increase in performance and better for the user will be updated by the devs making new builds. The custom roms and kernels bring out the best in our phones

I'm also having storage issues. My Wildfire S won't even allow me to open the gallery application to view photographs I've taken. I've taken the photographs, but now I can't view them? What the shit!?
I installed the optional 'Data2SD' app after 'tweaking' the SD card and now the phone tells me I have 800MB memory .... I'll have to let the wife play with it for a few days and see what it's like though. It coulod be that this makes it too slow so I'll go back to just using Apps2sd. The CPU is at 806MHz though ....
So if I root the phone I cant get further updates??
and if I dont root the phone I may not be able to get the updates anyway due to no internal memory...........hmm what to do what to do.... Sooo not impressed phone started flashing low internal memory second time I did updates in the first month of having it, I want my old nokia slide back!!
Obviously! Moving stuff to your SD card saves the internal memory of your phone. Haven't you moved any of your apps to the SD card?
Its actually not possible to move anything to the SD card.
Ive had this phone a little over a month and over the last 3 days have consistently had the same issue.
I was able to move a photo app i downloaded onto the SD card but unfortunately ive been anable to move anything else as they are all rooted to the phone.
At present the only Apps i have are facebook and KIK, not a tremendous amount of memory required and yet i have internal memory issues.
YES ive cleared the cache
YES ive cleared out trash mail folders
YES ive turned off facebook HTC Sense
I dont know what else i can do...Ive got no images in my gallery i removed them all...i couldnt get them to the SD card.

You can only move the apps which you downloaded to the SD card, and not the pre-installed apps. Install apps2sd and check whether you can move any other app that you installed into the SD card.
I bought new HTC Wildfire S.
It shows internal memory of 150MB only...
But now whenever i tried to install new application or trying to update the existing Apps, it says "Not sufficient Internal Memory."
I also had may all apps moved to SD card...
There are no way i can free the space in Internal Storage other than uninstalling the existing Apps..

When I go to Settings/SD & Phone storage/Make More Space, only one of the 4 Apps that I had installed showed up. I moved that one but can't move any of thee others. I expected to be able to move all that I had installed.

I have a HTC Wildfire S, i only downloaded a few apps, and have only about 17mb left. I have a 16G card and it stores music only..i want all the apps in the phone to go to the SD card..pls tell me how cos i need the memory!!

Menu/Settings/SD & phone storage/"Make more space" then click "Next" and select "Move apps to SD card". Any that can be moved will appear and you can then move them. You can't move any that were pre-installed, and some that you have downloaded can't be moved either.

The first guide I mentioned, yes. It's a step beyond just moving apps through settings.
The second guide, no. But HTC made the ROM more memory efficient, and the generic EU ROM linked in the guide doesn't have vendor-specific bloatware. Thus the gain of 20-30MB. But it only works with GSM phones (A510e).
There's seem to be no solutions for HTC wildfire s internal memory unless you do S-off and Root it. I bought my phone in December (Virgin Mobile) and was excited for a few days until I get a constant "Low internal memory..." and can't upload anymore updates. I had just S-Offed my phone but scared to Root it since the instructions I found on the website was dated back in Nov 2010 :-( I will just have to deal with the constant clearing cache until I find a better phone with a larger internal memory.

I actually just used that guide this morning for rooting my Wildfire S through Metro, and it should work for VM also. Though, instead of using their custom recovery, I used Download CWM_Recovery_5.0.2.6.zip from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way - Clockworkmod. Which is easier, all you have to do is download the file and then unzip it on your desktop and run the recovery.bat, while your phone is connected to PC through USB, charge only, and debugging on. It does the rest for you.
Then you can move onto step 2 from that guide. I was a bit wary myself at first, since the guide didn't give my carrier, but I was willing to try anything after all the failed efforts of using a one click rooting method.

Okay I figured out a bit of a fix that worked for me that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.
If you go to Apps > Remove Apps > All, you will have a list of everything installed on your phone. If you click on any app, say Facebook for example, you will see it has stored 'Data' included in it's total size, I have 716KB listed here. If you press the 'Clear Data' button, you get this message:
"All of this application's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases and so on."
Now obviously you will not want to do this with some applications (like facebook, if you use it, and who doesn't?) because as far as I understand, it is like resetting the app to it's default settings. You will want to keep the data there.
I took a look at my recently installed TED app, and discovered it had 3MB of Data on it. Now that's pretty crazy, because I've only ever opened it once, and I didn't go into the settings at all. So I press the Clear Data button and free up the 3MB of space. What is most interesting to me, is that this app has been moved to the SD card, and yet this Data is stored on the phones internal memory.
While typing this message I tried re-opening TED to see if anything would mess up. Nope. It works fine. I go back into Remove Apps and discover it has rebuilt the Data to 3MB again. Okay. So that's pretty crap. I was able to install some updates while that 3MB was gone, however, so this is still useful, as sometimes you just need to push the free space over 15MB to install or update things.
In my search through the all apps list, I did happen to find several pre-installed applications that I never use that had upwards of around 4MBs in total that I safely removed. Things like HTC Hub, and the Stock app that I must have opened once and decided never to open again.
The storage issue is my biggest problem with the Wildfire S and I was happy to discover this, so I hope it helps someone else out there. Just don't clear data of anything you're unsure of

I did the first one on my Wildfire S
it works, I can download apps still install in the internal memory but now I can move it after installed to the SDmemory
also when I am downloading apps check in the Accept & Download screen
permissions in storage if says: "Modify/delete SD card contents" if not said that it can be move to SD so those ones I didn't install
Also all the pictures an music are install in the SD so even if you delete them you are not getting more space
the other thing that I couldn't done yet is to install updates to previously installed apps because it goes to internal memory and couldn't send it to SD
I have a T-Mobile HTC Wildfire S
Getting constant "Low Memory Space" notifications.
I do the standard make space type stuff but It only helps for a little while.
I've moved just about every app that will move over to my SD Card.
It's a 4GB card that shows up as 3.68GB but I still have 1.5 GB left free on it.
Running Android 2.3.5
RAM 115 MB Free / 301 Used = It reports 418 MB Total to Android Assistant
ROM 12.3 MB Free / 137 MB Used = It reports 150 MB ROM Total
I see 2 memory pools and 1 storage area.
Things get better as the free ROM space improves.
Is there a way to bump the ROM size to get some more head room?
I have been coming back to the forum when time permited to try and solve the issue of lack of internal storage preventing upgrades and frankly have not had the confidence to take on any of the well meaning advise on the forum.
So I have suffered and made do with what seems a good phone with serios glitches that prevent it being a great phone.
Like most of my fault finding with technology the answer is in there somewhere.
I have just spent 30min following your simple guidlines and my internal memory is up from 12 to 35MB.
Whilst I have been carring out the task my phone has carried out an upgrade which it has been unable to do due to low memory for about the last 2 month, how about that.
This phone dose not have enough pleb rescue programmes, the geeks who launch this technology are missing a trick as quite a number of the forum users demonstate, they and I just want a "switch on and work devise that self heals"
As if.
Still I am a happy chappy.
Many thanks.
Your post should get some prominance on this topic.
If all the members here with internal storage issues follow El Presidente's post located here: Forcing Apps to install to the SD Card without root then you will not only gain space on your internal memory but you will also be able to install apps to your sd card. With that said you can get yourself a 16 gb sdhc card like I did and then you would have almost 16 more gbs to install apps on. I followed this procedure myself and it is very simple if you know anything about computers and command prompt. Hope this helps some one out.
