Default Something is eating my internal memory...

Something is eating my internal memory. I'm aware of the BT issue, but I don't use BT... it has to be something else. Any pointers on how to track this down?

What do you mean by "eating"?

Apps and app data use internal memory.

I have also seen this. For example. I was up to 115 meg now I am at 100 meg with the same apps installed. I do use BT but I also know when I need to flush out the core files so that is not the issue. What I have noticed is when I use the browser or set up my email account is when I see the drop. I have gone to apps and deleted cache but have also learned when I do that on Mail, Browser and contacts I lose all my contacts, mail settings and bookmarks. I cannot believe those would eat up 10 meg of space. If I keep using these programs will my internal memory keep getting lower and lower. I also just started using peep yesterday, and that is when it dropped from about 105 to 100.

You can empty the browser cache by going into Settings in the Browser and hitting "Clear cache."

DONATE TO ME
Go into Applications in the Settings menu. Go to all the apps you use, and hit "Clear data" Problem solved.

I had this same problem. I went back to Best Buy and got a new replacement. The new phone even had the EVDO Rev A, instead of the Rev 0, and the new one has "with Google" on the back.

I have read that there were a large bad batch of these phones, and that there were issues with them.

I also read that there are also other issues involving SMS/Text and Bluetooth that may or not be related to this.

If you can, go to where you bought it and get a replacement, if at all possible.

Just my thoughts!

The phone I have does have Rev 1 and with google on the back so I don't think that is my issue. I also have no dust problem. I just see the memory drop daily and unless I go and clear cache daily it won't come back. This should not be nec IMO. There is not much left on the phone with nothing installed and seems to me using APP2SD we should not ever fall below 115-110. My wifes Moment has the same apps and she has about 220 left on hers
