~70MB. > Apparently not for me, it appears that I have 9MB! Perhaps now. Most likely, you had ~70MB when you got the phone. > This is getting ridiculous, I've cleared the browser's cache and got > 2MB back, I have only *ONE* application installed which takes 2MB If you go into Manage Applications and you have only one item listed, your phone is probably messed up, and I would recommend a reset. The device comes with dozens of apps installed, some of which (AFAIK) are not removable. > and I have just 7MB of free memory. So, free up some memory. For example, on my G1, as I type this, I have 35MB of internal phone storage available. I then go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and sort the results by size descending via the option menu. The top entry is Android Market, at 14MB. There is a known bug in the Android Market where it does not clear its cache proactively. But, it will flush the cache when it is needed, so I effectively have closer to 49MB available. There are enough posts from enough people that I feel reasonably comfortable that most of that space will be reclaimed if/when I need it. #2 entry is the Browser. I go in, click Clear Data, and the app falls somewhere way down the list, and my listed available space is 45MB (plus the 14MB or so that will get freed up by Android Market when needed). Lather, rinse, repeat. If the rough total of space reported by the Manage Applications list, plus the amount of reported free storage space, does not add up to anything near ~70MB, then something on your device is leaking storage, and I would recommend a reset. > This is serious, if I got to this situation there's a possibility that > other users will hit that too, and these won't be developers. Which is why there have been discussions on various approaches for installing apps on SD cards, to support manufacturers (like, apparently, HTC) who skimp on the on-board flash. The fact that HTC did this is not the fault of the core Android team, as Android is licensed as open source, so HTC can do what it damn well feels like. If you want to grouse about the ~70MB of free on-device storage space, please grouse in HTC's general direction. > I *SO* regret installing the over-the-air patch, which removed root > access :((((((( Which would not have helped you one bit. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
