Nokia Memory Full

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a S60V5 mobile phone, comes up with the phone memory (86MB) and a Memory card (8GB) (MiniSD).

This blog is on one of the common issue that I faced with my Nokia 5800 and it also exist across all other Nokia Phones. In Nokia S60V5 phones, Over the period of time, The size of the Phone Memory gets filled up and finally, It comes to a point, that phone cant be used anymore, untill memory is freed up. Its not only because of the music, apps, messages stored in the phone, but also due to cache used by various apps. Following are the symptoms shown by the phone, 

• The phone restart all on its own, while in the mid of an app / call.
• When trying to open an App, it simply says, the app is exiting and but, simply it didnt start
• The most common error is ”Phone Memory is Full, Please delete some files”

If its app, music, data, it can be easily moved from phone memory to the memory card. But in the case of cache, it cannot be cleared automatically, and definitely, you would require an app, YBrowser that makes Ybrowser, an essential app for symbian.

• In YBrowser, goto C:/System/Cache, this folder contains 16 subfolders, named as 0-9, a -f. Delete all this folders.
• Goto C:/System/Dmgr, this folder contains the downloaded files that are failed intermittently, delete all files/folders in this folder.

By this time, you would have gained few MBs of space. Even if this is not sufficient, The final option is to do Factory Reset, which is as follows.

• Take backup of the phone memory, Go To File manager -> Select Backup -> Options -> Start. The Backup will be created in Memory Card.
• To Do factory reset, just dial *#7370# 
• Now go to file manager again, to restore your backup.

Hope you have reclaimed your space.
