Is it me or does this thing fill up really fast? any want to store sms on the sdcard.
Why do you think it's your SMS that's occupying all the storage space?
Some crude math:
-Given 100 MB of storage (this is a conservative figure, you should have much more than this)
-Given each SMS is 2 kb (this is a generous figure; many of my SMS are less than 1 kb)
In this scenario you should have enough space for over 400,000 messages...
Sorry, if you do have that many messages, you need to delete 75% of them. You're never going to refer back to them...
I keep getting a notification saying "delete some messages your memry is full"
or something along those lines and i checked the memery on the phone and it sais like 10 mb free!! wtf

75%!? it would take an age to read 100,000 messages!

ya i have this phone for a couple days...........
Haha, yeah, I should've said "you need to delete 99.9% of them". That would still leave you with about 400.
So are you saying you really have that many messages clogging your inbox? Can it be that it's just because you are saving multimedia files in your storage memory rather than on the SD card?
I have a sdcard 8gb calss 6. but I dont have any mms. all i know is that is says
Storage
total: 260.29
in use: 251.64
free 8.65
is this because only the sms? Also does anyone know how to auto save sms to sd? like on my g1? my g1 was the first phone i ever had that could keep like thousands of sms. and if not is there a better way to delete..
How do I check what exactly is saved on the phone memory, as opposed to how much is used.
So I just deleted like 500 txt messages, and the phone memory is still at 8 mb. what am I doing wrong?
Is your memory problem with emails/email attachments and not sms messages perhaps? Go to your email account "options" and then to the storage tab. It will show you the current size of your email attachments, and whether or not you have them saved to device memory or your storage card.
ya i have em saving to sd card

so i have about 20000 (yes, 20,000) sms and its eating up a lot of my phones memory. However, I have a 1gb sd card thats 99% free on my phone.. Is it possible for me to transfer all the txt msgs to the SD card and still be able to view them somehow.
I have txt all backed up, I just don't know how to view them if i just store them on the SD card. is there a text viewer or whatever?
Thanks for the help.

Wow! Well, the WM app wont let you store them on the memory card, from searching it looks like a security measure. (todo with remote wiping ect it seems)
Maybe a 3rd party SMS program might be able to, not sure as of right now.

oh of course of course.
i don't want the new messages to be stored on the SD CARD.
however, i want to store all the old sms on the SD card and be able to view them through a software on my phone
and for the new sms, they can be stored on the memory as usual.
the reason i want to do this is because i have a habit of looking up my old sms to remind myself some of the tasks.
WHOA!!
20000 SMS?? hmm I have that many in my email box but not SMS? will be watching this with interest

i know this is rare. i been doing research regarding to text viewer on a removable memory however nothing found
Try "export", I'm sure there are programs that can export your messages to a plain text file so it can be read by *anything*
This looks promising, but you may have to pay.
Hi all,
How can I find out which storage is the txt/email messaging is using? I would like for it to use the external storage card not the on board memory. Previously owned a nokia n82 and there was an option to switch whichever storage to use.
And also is there a way I can backup my txt and emails?

E-mail and text messages are stored on the phone's main memory, though e-mail attachments can be set to be saved on the storage card. If there's a way to change the primary storage for e-mail and texts to the storage card I don't know it...maybe somebody else does.
One way to back up text and e-mails is using Microsoft myPhone -- it backs them up to a web-based server, and then they can be restored to the phone later. There should/may already be the myPhone app on your phone...or you can download it.
There are 3rd-party apps (search on "sms" and "backup"), but I can't recommend any 'cause I don't use them.
so this phone doesn't allow to back it up using the external storage?! things like this makes me miss my symbian phone...
Hi there !
First of all just wanted to say i have a card of 8 gigs of memory on my cell.
And i keep on getting this message when i try to copy files on my cell :
Cannot copy File.txt: There is not enough free disk space.
Delete one or more files to free disk space and then try again.
So i did deleted a lot of file to free up like 400 megs.
Still the same message.
I can't neither take picture or videos cause it gives me the same message !
Any ideas on what is causing this ?

Most likely the not enough memory is due to your RAM, try freeing up RAM memory in your phone. You can do that in Celetask. For pictures and videos, in camera mode, set up your phone to store picture and video onto memroy card instead of phone memory.
Good luck,
I have my Tmo TP2 with the original ROM...I have about 400-500 contacts and emails...I notice now that the device is getting slower each day...it is because of the email attachments maybe? It is frustrating!...I select the email or inbox and wait...open an email ...an wait!
Ideas?

Your Problem is that you're running the original ROM which is BIG and Slow. Nothing you really can do about it because changing your rom

You might do a soft-reset (turn off and on) occasionally (every-other day...once a week...whenever TP2 seems sluggish) to free up "program memory" (if you're not doing that already).
You should also be saving your attachments to the storage card instead of the main device. You might also what to eliminate any of the bloat that is pre loaded to free up some more space. If it gets slower over time between resets its probably memory that is not going back to the device. A soft reset or a program like Memmaid or HTCaddicts Clean Ram ( on this forum free cab) works well.
I keep getting the "Memory Full" message, even though I've deleted enough stuf to give me roughly 5 MB of free space. I can't even receive new texts. I did a soft reset and it worked for a while before the "Memory Full" message popped up again. As for emails, they are read then purged from the phone (but kept on my pc). A lot of pictures have been moved to my microSD card. I'm now up to a little over 6 MB in free space, but the message still pops up.
How can I fix this and stop this annoying popup???
First I would get as many programs as you can to the SD card, I would also delete all the att bloatware, and get Total Comander and retweak all mail and texts to SD card.
Also this may be a simple fix, but after you deleted your messages did you go to the delted items folder and clear all deleted ?
delete your web browsing cache... I've heard that takes up a lot of storage.

I sure did. After it was emptied I got up to 6 MB of free space. I'll try your other suggestions one I get home tonight.

I did this also.
i got the same problem at the moment with the memory on my phone. it says its full but i dont know what to get rid of to clear it. ive deleted web browser cache and history, i have evan got rid of my emails which seems ****ing pointless of having this phone now. ive kept everything on my memory card so i am confused now of what to delete.
