How much device storage question

you should be fine. the only way to free up more space it to remove bloatware which is done by flashing to the custom roms available. they have removed unnecessary memory intensive things like the touch diamond guide, ringtones,etc and at startup, you usually see 75 to 90mb free. I know you dont want to flash though but in your particular situation, you still have 11 mb and i would continue to use clear temp to clear out memory in the ie cache, opera cache, google maps, livesearch, etc.

great to hear! I had this happen before the hotfix and thought I was screwed but amazing tech support walked me through a fix on the phone through active sync. this is much easier. take it easy!

I am having the same problem with space. I am down to almost 10mb. I install everything I can on internal storage and I still lose memory. I am using sprint rom with a rib of tweaks. I should look at the custom find but there are so many it's hard to know which one to choose.

they are all better than stock, that is for sure. You should try them out, everyone has different preferences. the only way to know which one you will like is flashing them all really. Then you start to gravitate towards the ones you like the most.

Rileyd5, you might be the reason i permanantly switch bacnk to my diamond over my pro. that space (or lack there of) had me switch in the first place. and i never use the hard KB on it so this is definatly awsome. thanks again friend.

thanks man. I like the diamond a lot and agree that if you dont use the hard keyboard, it may be your best bet. the size is great, plus the compact querty works great for me. I switched from the t-mobile shadow which has the hard compact querty built in so I was already very accustomed to the keyboard. their both great devices though.

Will the Hotfix Program do anything to help with the Memory if the card is actually working?
I just got a new phone (old one was toast) and do not want to flash - Service isn't covered if there is a flashed Rom - and am down to 18.
No pics, no music, no programs, just tweaks, all loaded to internal storage.

The reason it toasted is my old one was dropping calls, Sprint downloaded Titan program that is supposed to make everything faster, but took phone into negative memory and that was it.
I am now almost afraid to load anything else on the phone.

no, the hot fix is only designed to remap your internal storage if you lose it for some reason. if you have 18 megs free as customizations, you set. Just be sure to clear opera cache occasionally and ie cache. especially opera because it will take up several mb of space.

That's what I thought, but wanted to double check.
I made the mistake of first day downloading pictures, music, some apps, etc., had no memory left at all.
So found this and a couple of other forums, this is the best, people respond in English not computer talk (xda) and read, re-read. Learned how to work Windows and memory.
Fixed above and now watch everytime I load anything, I know where I was before, and where I am, so can tell if something is wrong and fix then rather than later!
I figured out something between these posts, moved and now back to 24+.

To those reading, was on phone with Tech Support who knew what they were doing today (lost Sprint TV). She sent new cab to reload. Just for fun, I put it in Internal Storage. It does run!!

However I ended up deleting because the cab in Rom is unmovable, so again I was taking up extra space, might as well use rom since the broken one was there, just reloaded over the top.

Found out these will run, but can't be deleted for space. Oh well, learn something everyday.
