Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 Memory Issues

[Springer00]

I have a Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 for only a couple months and am already encountering insufficient memory issues when I want to update an app (Chrome, etc). I've already set the SD card to be the default for saving anything, is there anything else I can do? When I go through the list of apps almost none of them allow me to move them to the SD card.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?

Unfortunately that phone doesn't have a lot of memory! Deleting texts may help, especially ones that have photos or videos attached.

You can also clear your phones cache by doing the following (steps might vary by phone):
1. Go to your phones settings
2. Tap Storage
3. Tap Cached Data
4. It will confirm you want to remove cached data.

My friend has a Moto E and one other friend has a Samsung Galaxy low end phone they purchased from Boost Mobile. Guess what? They are two different models that have the same memory issues like yours. Sounds suspicious. How can a phone have low space when updating apps in Google Play if your phone isn't full of downloaded apps? THIS IS A QUESTION TO ASK GOOGLE! I know people who have gone to Boost Mobile because they couldn't resolve the problem or they had you return it to the manufacturer to see if they could fix it or troubleshoot the phone. Do you call the latter part customer service? I don't...Is this a Sprint problem or is it how they provision cell phones on to their network? Keep investigating because something is not right.

You guys have given suggestions to rid the problem. They are good ones. Some people have tried them with no success!!! It has to be some other issue with the software programmed in the phone.

Yes, I've cleared the cache, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the phone's internal memory is already so fully loaded out of the box you barely have any room for additional apps. I think I may just have to get a different phone.

Yep, 4 gb is simply not enough anymore, on the plus side the phone is very inexpensive, LOL!
