Typically the issue is that Android leaves the upgrade image in place (i.e. doesn't delete it) after upgrading the internal firmware. So once upgrading is finished, you might want to delete that bundle. It's easy enough to do: just turn on USB debugging, plug the tablet into a computer, mount the disk, and delete the upgrade bundle. Remember to sync before unmounting and unplugging, so you don't corrupt the disk. Once that's done, you should have plenty of space. Another thing you might want to do is install an application like Android Assistant, which gives an option to move applications over to the SD card. -Tilghman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
