Is so unbelievably annoying. Great idea making a phone with less than 500MB of internal storage so that anytime I download an app that can't be moved to the sd card I now have to delete another app or clear out a ton of cached data. My phone still has gigs of storage left yet I constantly have to manage the internal memory because it's always close to being full.

That is all.

Does the IPhone have more space? I only use about 10 aps and cleared off all the others.

I had this problem all the time on my Envy. I hated Androids by the time I was done with it. Why can't the apps be moved to the SD card, anyways?

Same effing thing happens on my evo everyone I download updates. Waiting apple out for the iphone though. It must be an early android problem because my girlfriends old droid would get it constantly.

Get the new EVO it's way better than the original. I just traded mine in a month ago. Plus Sprint gives you like 75 just for the old one.

You can move apps from your phone to the memory card unless your specific model blocked that capability.

I have come to the conclusion that I will only buy android phones in the nexus lineup. Otherwise I would go with iOS or Windows phone.

^^^^ Intelligence, he speaks it. I don't know why more people don't just get the Nexus phones.

I really like my Windows Phone and will be buying another when the new ones start coming out in the fall with Windows Phone 8. Don't know if I'll keep my current one around as an mp3 player/app thing or sell it though.

Are you actually low on space? I had that happen with my Incredible, but it was a bug and I had to do a factory reset to fix it. I kept getting the message but had plenty of space.

I'm guessing I am. I have a lot of apps that can't be moved to the sd card.

Justin,

It's the phone....

I had the evo 4g, evo 3d and now the evo 4g lte.

The evo 4g had poor internal memory available for apps. I have 145 apps in my evo lte and still have plenty of space. Some of the apps are the HTC apps and Sprint bloatware is included in phone. You can remove some or all of the bloatware if you want to.

You just need to upgrade to a new phone....

Once Verizon gets a decent Windows Phone, I might have to jump ship from Android and move to Windows. I really like what Microsoft is doing.

Unless the iP5 brings something epic to the table, I'm giving the Galaxy SIII a serious look this fall.

justin, do you run facebook on your phone? I know that (the one from facebook and the htc facebook app) hogs up memory. If you see that using up a bunch of memory, I would clear the program cache under settings->applications. I remember seeing it around 30-40 mb on an old incredible and causing problems.

It's not Facebook,I have Facebook, Twitter Google- all running. The evo lte is a beast with memory and storage space compared to evo 4g.
