Although I haven't confronted any "insufficient" memory in my Spice Dream UNO so far even after installing more than 15 apps, there are some significant issues with this model, and I presume they are common to all Android One category phones. Below I'm listing few of them. First of all, internal memory is not accessible for any personal use in these phones. Even if you connect your phone to your laptop, it won't show you any icon for internal memory. No file explorer has been able to give you the access to your internal memory. Means for any personal use in terms of keeping your files, be they pictures, songs or any file, you need to have the availability of the SD card. Secondly, as a corollary to the first one, if you don't have SD card present in your phone, you are not able to operate the camera of your phone, for by default, it saves all your taken snaps and videos to the memory card. Third, if any of your vocaliser voices are installed on your phone, they would stop working once the card is taken out of the phone and the phone is restarted without the memory card. I suppose except Google TTS and indeed Eloquence, all other voices would require a separate place to install. Fourthly, this phone has a severe tendency of getting heated up even if you are just fiddling around with talkback and not performing any heavy job over it. It would also drain out your battery very fast. Finally I do agree with Ajay that after updating it to Android 5.1 and installing about 15 apps, it is showing only 400MB as free memory. This is partly because the regular updates, particularly from Google apps are of huge size, any app that relates itself to Google, would be between 30 to 40 MB. It clearly means, the higher the version of Android , the larger space you would require on your device. Overall, while in terms of performance, it doesn't have any problem, in terms of memory, it is slightly poor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ajay Minocha" <ajayminoc...@gmail.com> To: "Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phonesand Tabs." <mobile.accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 8:38 PM Subject: Re: [Mobile.AI] Accessibility in budget phones
Hi, Take spice only if you want to install 1- 2 apps, otherwise, after regular usage it shows "insufficient memory". I am using it and don't find its memory management up to the mark. All in all, wouldn't recommend if it has to be the only device otherwise, as a backup phone, it is wonderful.
