Hi,
Why does android need 20Mb free to write sms ?
When the phone has only 19.xx Mb free internal memory, there is a persisting alert saying that memory is low and you can't write any sms.
Is there a way to avoid this ?

AFAIK the android system does not interrupt with the sms writing when low on memory. I was able to send/receive sms even when my phone memory was 17 mb or something. I guess it has been programmed to throw warnings when the memory is below 20 mb. It should not interrupt your messaging IMO.
I made some tests to be sure before posting. I thought it was the same for everyone... :/
When i click on "Compose new message" it says :
"Low on space - Phone storage is full! Delete some files to free space."
Even with 19Mb free internal memory and 508Mb free SD memory
When i have more than 20Mb, the notification in the panel vanish and i can write sms normally.

Hmmm sounds interesting... I'm not sure whether we have any workaround for this. But if you want to clear out some space on your phone, try 'History Eraser' from the market. I will clear out some precious space on your phone.
And also, follow the same drill of moving apps to SD card if the apps allows it.
Don't know about your preferences but, I think you should have some 40 mb of free internal memory. Don't fill upto the neck. Use a2sd, data2sd.

Using "handcent sms" seems to solve the problem.

Yes, but maybe there are other way to solve the problem? Maybe there are exist method to change free space quota (And notification), or patch to standart SMS-application?

Hi all!
I'm getting the notification int he status bar that the phone storage is low and I can't install some app on the phone memory but I've got around 20MB free on the phone storage... what's happening?
I suggest you move some apps to SD
Yes, that's the solution but my question is why I get this alert and I can't install other app wven if I've got room in the phone storage (aroung 15/20MB)?
Because you're not supposed to go lower than 20MB of free space. Applications cache stuff, therefore further reducing that amount.
In short, that just reserves the phone some space to use data for applications. Not to mention Dalvik VM.
Go to the apps folder, move the biggies into the sd card.. if u don't have enough space, sms bouces off (can't get it!!!!)
I have received a "internal memory full"msg yesterday, with around 40 apps installed.
After moving most apps to SD card, ive still only got 100mb left.
When i check the internal memory status from Appsmonster, ive seen the internal memory size is only 500mb instead of 1gb! How much internal memory hv u got?

I believe the specs says 512mb of ram, and 1gb of ROM. What is the difference I don't know, but I"m sure it runs out of "ram". I don't know if we have access to the "rom". Hope it helps!

um.. I'm talking about Rom, not RAM. Internal memory is Rom. It should have 1GB ROM, but only showing 550mb...
Anyway, I've solved the problem, the logservice of Dell Venue keeps creating log files up to 2mb each each time I force close the apps, and therefore has eaten up all ROM! I've got to root it to clear these useless log files.
Oh, sorry, didn't know the phone had EXTERNAL ram...my bad. You see, my Venue has 512MB INTERNAL RAM and 1GB INTERNAL ROM. Where did you get your Venue from...???
I didn't mean to offend you and thanks for your reply. Anyway i've checked my friend's Venue and it's also showing 550mb, very strange indeed.

Hi, can you tell me where log files are kept? Since I found out this issue, when Force Close happens, I choose Log to SD Card then I can delete manually. But for ones logged on ROM I don't know where.
My Venue rooted.

This is normal. Google "x10 internal memory" and you'll see why.
thats because the ROM is installed on ur internal memory only so that's what is occupying ur memory and not some large apps..
Try clearing your cache with cache cleaner ng from the market. You'd be surprised how much memory you can free up
Hi,
I have a weird problem with my S2 running samsung stock ICS 4.0.3. i have been using sgs2 for over a year now and whenever my free internal storage goes below 250MB i move the apps to SD card. But now No. of apps in SDcard has hit the Android limit so i simply delete the Apps. But off late that is not freeing up my internal memory. Soon after deleting apps it shows internal memory freed but by next day or it again fills up. This is when i check my storage at Settings-> storage (shows ~220MB). when i check my with settings -Applications it stays free and now its showing 600MB free. This was not the case earlier. Both the values above remained more or less same. So i have deleted ~300MB worth of applications without freeing up my storage
I have been searching vigorously but found no solutions. I have read about Wifi logs issue but it should have started soon after ICS upgrade. In fact till very recently it was fine coz i had to delete lot of Appa due to Android SD card bug. my free space went upto ~400Mb. Not now suddenly. In fact i changed nothing in my sgs2 to cause this. I noticed this issue when i installed and then uninstalled SYBIL. Would deleting Dalvik cache help? if yes then how to do it?
What else should i do? Is there a way to resolve this of find a workaround without Rooting. I love to root my phone and enjoy the freedom it offers but i have absolutely no time to do that.
Please help

finally found a solution in a thread in xda "A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. I restored 1.4 gig of space after doing this."

Uninstall the apps you won't use from system, use memory card as internal storage to get some more memory. Try cleaning Google Play service it could provide upto 500mb of memory.

what, really. Only 1gigs out of 5gigs is usable which already gets full in only 2-3 apps. Now I've given up and started using mem card internal storage. And I'm going to buy a new card but it will be slower than the inbuilt emmc storage.
