3 syncronized devices / Android phone memory full

[THAIPHUKET]

My devices are synchronized, the Android phone is reaching capacity,

Don´t want to delete anything. Now what? If I free up memory on the phone the same will disappear on the others too, which is not the idea.

It may be possible to copy some items from internal phone memory to the phone sdcard, if it has one.

We'd need to know the Make, Model, Memory and if your phone supports having an SDCard.

Also, what devices are you synchronizing and what are you using to synchronize them.

Another possibility is to place some items off the phone but put them 'in the cloud', do you need the all the synchronized items in phone memory or do you feel comfortable placing some information on services such as DropBox and use Internet to access them only when needed?

I know some people are using Google + or Google Now to synchronize their music, and others who have Unlimited Internet have opted to pay for Google Play Music All Access

Your questions prompted me, Khun Ignorant, to check further. SD card has 3GB free, roughly 50:50, the other memory has only 98 MB left, sync are HTC Desire, Nexus 7 and Acer laptop. The only device I want unlimited access, no dependence on poor connections, is the Acer

You have much space on SD card, so get AppMgr at Google Play (free) and use it to transfer some of the apps to the SD card. Just follow the directions once the app is installed.

I think you first need to identify what is consuming the storage/memory on the device (HTC Desire? Nexus 7? Both?) before you can address the issue(s)?

Can you go to Settings, Storage and maybe poke around there, and/or share a screenshot? There should be a bar chart at the top and a list of categories below: Available, Apps, Pictures/videos, Audio, Downloads, Cached data, Misc.

You can drill down into those categories with a long press on any one, which should reveal a likely cause. Probably a leaky/bleeding app. but then people have been complaining about the HTC Desire re: memory since Day 1.

Keeniau96 , I like simple solutions, yes AppMgr did it, 50% memory freed up

Also consider a larger SD memory card if your phone will handle it. Genuine 32Gig. cards can now purchased for less than B1500....that's a lot of memory.

Maybe get one of these for the stuff that you don't use all the time..
