"Not enough memory delete some items"

[chryssa33]

Hello,

I am new with Android and I need your help...
I recently bought the 8GB galaxy s. I have about 13 applications installed from the market in the internal sd and I have bought an external sd of 16GB yesterday where I placed all my music and photos. Suddenly today I try to open the galery and the "Not enough memory delete some items" comes up. I checked the internal SD card and from a total og 5.78GB I now have 160kb left!!! I checked where alla the spce went and it went to a file called Adroid. I think this happened since I put the external sd. Does anyone know what might have happened..

Thanks,
Chryssa

Make sure that the directory you copy your music files are really the microsd card. Lots of people get confused between these two directory.

Other than that check what directory in the android directory are taking up the space. The name of the directory will often correspond to the application.

Thanks for replying. The directory is the right one. I found the problem the file named Android which had inside a folder named Data and in there com.cooliris.media- cache was eating all my free space for thumbnails of photos! I deleted itand I got back all the space with no problems. I wonder why it did that though....

Bug most likely. Glad you resolved the problem.

Keep in mind there is a different between RAM (512Mb) and Storage space (8GB).

the error message could also have been referring to not enough RAM memory, rather than not enough Storage memory.

I get this message from time to time recently as well. I have lots of ram space left and lots of internal memory left as well. Whenever I get this message, the phone cannot read the internal and external sd cards. I usually solve it by wiping cache.

Anyone else with this issue?

Yes! I just tried to download an app yesterday, and the phone told me I did not have enough space. I have 1.7 GB left of internal storage not to mention the 1.6 GB of Internal SD card storage. Any idea what is causing this?

Move some apps to the sd card.

delete the Market Updates. It will revert back to the Old MArket but you will be able to install new apps.

i'm a iphone user, but i'm a IT so very often i got android phones in my hands for maintenance, updates and stuff related

i got an s2 sgh-i898, it was having issues about 'not enough internal memory' i bought a 16Gb SD card and do the required steps to change al the downloaded stuff transferred to the SD card, and set up (via command line) the phone, so the next items will always be installed in the SD card, but now i got the same problem and the same issue of low memory, i have done the cache cleaning and yet it still shows that had around 70Mb free space, now i'm wondering what else could be eating so much memory??
