Guys, Does anyone know what's the *FREE* internal memory initially when you get the phone? I've heard ~70MB, ~96MB, etc. Apparently not for me, it appears that I have 9MB! :O :O :O This is getting ridiculous, I've cleared the browser's cache and got 2MB back, I have only *ONE* application installed which takes 2MB and I have just 7MB of free memory. According to HTC's spec[1], G1 has 256 MB ROM, let's say 1/2 is used by the OS. Where TF is the rest? :(
@Google employees: WTF was the developer of the "Settings/SD card and phone storage" preference screen thinking??? I can see I have X MBs of free memory, but out of HOW MUCH? How much of "HOW MUCH" has been used by the OS and how much by the apps installed on it? I *am* now desperate, I've read so much insane posts on the net such as "unplug and replug your battery, I got 20 MBs back, probably a leak" and not ONE solution. This is serious, if I got to this situation there's a possibility that other users will hit that too, and these won't be developers. I *SO* regret installing the over-the-air patch, which removed root access :((((((( Stoyan [1] http://www.htc.com/www/product/g1/specification.html On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Stoyan Damov <stoyan.da...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the response, but Package installer's usage is 0b :( > > The biggest app is Browser.
