The phone's internal storage might be full even if the SD card is not. Check the storage settings and memory usage - you may need to uninstall some apps, clear temporary data or move apps to the SD card to free up some space on the internal storage.

Downloads and such are not going to SD card. They can be moved to SD card later. You should move some stuff to SD card to free up memory.

SOURCE: I can't download a ringtone. I says I don't have enough file space.

ringtones are stored to the phones internal memory not the memory card. check to make sure that your phone is set to save music, pictures, and video to the memory card, not the internal memory. then move any of those file types that are in the internal memory to the card. if you still don't have enough file space you will have to delete something to make room

SOURCE: my g1 keeps saving my music to the phone and not the sd card

this may help you get around your problem


1. Make sure the microSD card is inserted in the phone.

2. Plug the phone into the USB slot on your computer using the G1 USB cable.

3. Watch the notification bar at the top of the G1 main screen. After the computer connects on the USB port, you will see a small USB icon appear on the notification bar.

4. Drag the notification bar down and select the USB connection notification. A popup will appear asking you if you want to mount the microSD card on the computer. Select "mount." After a second, the PC should detect the card.

5. You can now copy files to and from the card like any other USB storage device.

When you're finished, open the Music app, and select the Songs icon and you should see all your music files listed. The phone will read the files and sort them by album name and artist name as well.

SOURCE: my phone runs out of memory even thought the sd 2

Your phone may be running out of random access memory (RAM), not hard drive space. This means that your 2GB hard drive is not at fault. Instead, you can just restart your phone, and all the applications that were using up your RAM will go away, freeing up your internal memory. If restarting your phone seems like too much of a hassle, then just check which applications you have on your phone, and get rid of any applications that run continuously as they look for more information (i.e. anything that updates you with information).
If your phone is filling up the 2GB SD card, then check the contents of your SD card and find out what kind of information is being stored. If you cannot access these contents on your phone, then put your card into your computer (through an adapter if necessary) and view it like it was a hard drive. Right click on the stored information and go to properties. Inside the properties, there should be information on how to open it, or what created it. Remove what ever application was causing your 2GB SD card to fill up.
I hope this helps!

SOURCE: I keep getting a message saying that sotrage space is low. However, I hardly have any apps or images on my phone. When i check the Phone storage it states I have 6gb free on the phone and 8gb free on

Hello.

There is very little internal storage on that phone.
Try clearing the application cache, your email (not gmail) trash folder. Back up your SMS messages and then clear the data to your Dialer Storage app.

Hope this helps.

Hasn't saved anything to the memory card because his tablet won't allow him to .. It keeps saying not enough space it's a 8GB memory card

The internal memory cards of some Android devices are partitioned for app storage and installation. Some of them have partitions that are quite small such as one Gigabyte or smaller. The remainder of the storage cannot be used for apps.

If it keeps saying not enough memory space then chances are the app partition is full. The only way to free up some space is to uninstall some apps that are stored there but not being used. You can see which apps can be uninstalled in Settings > Apps and look at them one by one to see if an uninstall option is listed. Simply click *uninstall* to remove them from the app storage partition. This will free up some extra space for some new apps or for updates to older apps you still like and use.

Also some of the apps might show an option to move them to an external SD card (if your device has a slot for one and if an SD card in inserted therein). Do move any and all to the external SD card of you have that option as that will also free up that space from the internal SD card.

Why am i having so much trouble gretting my lifetime map updates downloaded

Get a Micro SD card (4 or 8 GB) then start over. The maps are 2.2 GB in size so 500 meg is not enough. the SD card will solve all your issues.
