I have a notification that wont go away and it just came on today. It says "Low on Space"-Phone Storage space is getting low. Has anyone else had this and if so what should i do?? I have a memory card in it so im not sure what is saving to the phone. please Help!! :thinking:
 
That means you have too many apps installed. Go to settings and click on SD card and phone storage, at the bottom is your internal memory. You need to start uninstalling apps until you free up space, when you get that message you can also start missing phone calls and notifications.

The best thing to do is go into settings->applications->manage applications and sort them by size.

Even with only about 200 texts com.android.providers.telephony shows up as the 4th largest for me. My largest app by size is actually com.htc.socialnetwork so having a lot of facebook contacts linked must also use a lot of memory (Not sure if it matters but I'm still on 1.5)

I have about 25 market apps downloaded but my available internal memory is still 62 MB

Best thing to do is this: settings, applications, manage applications, wait for it to load up fully then press menu key, select sort by size or whatever, at this point all apps will be in order of total size from the top down. Anything taking up a horrendous amount of memory should be blatantly obvious at this point, such as browser being at the very top with like 40 mb worth of useless cache. Scroll through and clean out all your cache, NOT DATA OR DEFAULTS, JUST CACHE.
