help!!! blackberry 9900 is eating its own memory. please help, from 1.2gb to 2.0mb

Just a quick note:
Built in Media Storage of 6GB is used for media and not for apps
The Application storage is 512MB is used for the OS, Apps, and PIM storage, messages.
Media Card extends the Media Storage for Media

There are times where apps use the media memory for the content which are not part of the programs such as
BB Podcast app - downloads media files from various shows
Kindle - Books
Slacker- caching the stations

I am so used to not using the BlackBerry for storage that I store all my media on a 32 GB (29.5 GB Useable). I have 6 GB free on the built in storage which further tells you that its not the Apps or anything due to the OS since these functions use the App memory of 512 MB.

When I take pictures, each image is 1.2 MB.
I suggest you plug your phone into a PC and see what media file is taking up the most space.

I think it was a big mistake to delete all your apps. Good luck

Application Memory is 768MB on the 9900/9930

Oh opps,

768MB is the total memory but why does it say 512 MB in My World in App World?

I believe 256MB of that memory is reserved for the GPU

I have the same problem.

It affects both my device and media card memory. Replicates files etc. i cannot access any content that is saved on my device. Any word on how to fix this?

I have the same problem. My 9900 says it should have 6.5gb of free space and i've even checked all the memory-eating applications, none of which are significant enough to almost eradicate my memory completely.
The problem 1st started when my phone told me i could only take 10 more pictures and video camera had no more space. Now that i backed up my pictures and videos and deleted them from my phone the problem remains the same, in fact now to the point where i can't even snap a photo. I've tried rebooting it several times. Any suggestions???

If you have 6.5 gb of free memory it certainly means that your SD card has that amount of free space. It is possible that you camera is set to save pictures in the buit in memory. You need to change that so that media is always saved in the SD card.

The reson for which you get the no more memory messages is because you have been saving files in your built in memory.... Go to: options - device - storage and check your free memory (Built in Media storage and Media card) to confirm what I say.

Then go to your camera app... menu, options..-and change the store pictures option so that images are saved in your media card..

Now you need to delete or move images from your built in memory to the sd card... use the File app.. or any other app to copy or move the files..

This should do the trick....
