Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:24:13 GMT

I use xperia neo. I use 16gb external memory card. I use a lot of apps. I moved them to memory card. But the problem is internal memory is low and it prevents me to install extra apps. Why the internal memory is low??? How can i fix the problem? Please help me out.

go to

settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all

take a screenshot (what do you see at the bottom)?

settings -> storage -> how much Internal Storage (available space) do you have left?

it might sound like a dumb answer but there's not much you can do, since you can't increase the internal space, you could delete apps that can't be moved to the SD card that you don't use, you can root your phone and delete some heavy preloaded apps

ok delete one app..any one..

and download apps2sd from the market...

delete 2 if it doesnt installs..

first of all it will tell you to move the files 2 sd..

if any of the file you missed is not on the sd it will tell you...

also , it helps you delete all the cache

and i'm prety sure you will free up around 20 mb..

just download it and the application itself will ask you to delete the cache or not..just select ok..

and see the increase in your internal memory

try it now..

Generally, apps that have widgets (which includes Market and so on) won't allow you to move the app to the SD card. This is because widgets are instantiated before the SD card is initialised. In other words, widgets won't work.

try installing pandora, if it's on your internal memory you can add the widget to your homescreen, now move Pandora to the SD card, the widget will disappear and you won't be able to re-add it, unless you move the app back to the internal memory

U can use force2sd app to move apps otherwise not movable. For this u need root, and if u move an app to external sd homescreen widget won't work.
