Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

It maybe the cache. Everytime your phone connects to the web, it accumulates stuff in its cache memory, same as with a normal PC. Just to the default browser(and all other browsers you have), and go to options>privacy data>cache - clean it out.

Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

Every two days' time, do that again, and compare the numbers.  You will be able to see which is going up - that will be what is eating your memory.  Some app of yours is creating files, I bet.

Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

Also, there is stuff in your messages folder - are you sure you haven't had any SMS?  Or email?  Voice mail notifications.. anything?

Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

Do you install your apps onto the phone memory or the memorycard?

[ Edited ]

So did you get the stats again a couple of days later?  Which areas increased in memory?

 

You definitely seem to have something in your messages folders - go to "messages" and check every single folder.  If there's nothing there, and never has been, that's odd because your read-out said there was 500+ bytes of stuff somewhere in there..

Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

Those things are needed for the PC Suite Connection and may be considered important.

Re: Nokia 5230 Phone Memory

Those arent really "stupid" things. PC Suite has a lot of functions, like syncing to Outlook, Contacts backup, MMS and SMS messaging when phone is connected to PC, so you can just answer them on the PC Suite instead of grabbing your phone, etc.
