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.
    Just checked and it had 10MB in the cache.

    The iphone 5 doesn't even have to be epic for me to switch back. I loved the iphone 3g, no idea why I decided to switch to android.

    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....

    I constantly get warnings when though I have around 100mb in internal memory and around 4gb in sd memory free. Its so silly that software was written that cant default the storage to the huge effing memory card in there. Also the battery life sucks dick.

    Yeah, the battery is brutal on this thing. I'll pull it off the charger at 100% charge and by the time I get in my car it's at 94%.

    While the battery life does suck on most smart phones, the battery percentage can be misleading. When you keep your phone on a charger it will charge the battery to 100% and then let the phone use the battery till it gets to ~90% and then start to charge the battery back to 100%.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info, I had no idea.

    The thing that's annoying about the "Low Space" error is that you can go check space, and it shows you still have over 50% remaining. When the newest OS upgrade came out almost a year ago, I had the "Low Space" issue, and it was preventing me from upgrading to the new OS since I couldn't download/install the update, even though I had room.

    Now I'm getting errors when trying to open a text message, telling me I don't have sufficient resources. I couldn't open any text messages until I hit Clear Data on many of my applications. Normally clearing out my text messages fixed this, but I'm down to only 2-3 threads of texts, and I still get the error. I think there's some app on my phone that might have a bug on a recent update.

    I think I knew at one point in time why this error was happening to my droid incredible but for the life of me I can't remember why. I know I ended up installing cyanogenmod and never saw the error again.
