It is working on my TouchPro2. It is currently not playing video (visit uzard.com from the Uzard browser to see a note that they're aware of problems), but other than that, it works great.

[Desire General] 1lapassione:
I was begining to think that i was the only one suffering from this problem - obviously not as it appears there are plenty of others on other forums are having similar problems - it was suggested that this is best place for the answer - please someone help as i'm pulling out what little hair i've got left!

The Desire keeps telling me that i'm running low on internal storage space - the phone is "clean" as it was delivered - in other words there isn't any other apps been loaded.

I go to manage applications and discover that the HTC Mail application says it has 75mb in data - This cannot be right - but i go to my inbox to find i have 15 headers there each with a 100k limit.

I delete them from the inbox, go to the Trash folder and delete them from there too so they are deleted from phone.

I then go back to the Mail App and it tells me i have 76mb in data

As i continue to receive email the amount of data keeps rising.

I've spoken to VF - they tell me to do a factory reset - still the same.

The phone's OS is getting jerkier by the day as obviously it is loosing operational memory - the Mail today tells me i have 96mb - but i don't have any emails on the phone so where the heck is this data?

If this goes on the phone will ground to a complete stop.

Hope someone can assist as i and thousands of other will be extremely grateful !

Keep up the excellent forum
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Have you checked to see if there are any other folders being filled up as it syncs?
[Desire General] 1lapassione:
Thanks EroThraX but unless i'm missing something here i'm begining to think i'm thick - but by all means point me in the right direction !

I've checked all the mail folders - Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash and they are all empty.

There isn't a single email on the phone yet it tells me i've now 98mb in data - and yes the OS is now extremely jerky
[Desire General] Fon22:
Download "quick app clean cache"

Fon22
[Desire General] 1lapassione:
Well i've just paid and downloaded the app but it dosen't do anything - it is for clearing the cache - you can do that without getting the app.

What it won't clear is the data

So thanks for trying but that is a dead end.

Anyone else have any ideas?:confused:
[Desire General] pascanu:
I guess there is indeed a problem with the mail app. My problem isn't as big as the OP but Mail has 1.9 MB in data and I have no accounts set up! I did play with it for a while bit didn't like it so I'm using only the Gmail app, so I deleted all my accounts in Mail. Why does it still have data (2 MB of it!)?
[Desire General] Fon22:
Launch the app, and go into menu

List items by data usage.

You should see where its all being kept

Fon22
[Desire General] 1lapassione:
Thanks mate - but i've done this already and all it shows you is indeed where it is all stored - in the Mail App in data - not cache.

Curiously the write up for the app states that it allows you to remove data - yet in reality it dosn't allow you to remove data only the cache - so the search continues - what i cannot understand is how many people it is affecting yet there isn't that much of a panic on at the moment to it swallowing data.

i admit that i have plenty of emails coming in and i remove them out of the inbox and trash folders but the data is still there - but where the heck is it ?
[Desire General] th3:
You're not the only one at all. I've been troubleshooting this for a few weeks now. First it was the cache, which is somewhat tamed by the above aforementioned app. Now it's the data. With some apps, the data just keeps growing day by day. My Mail is now at 3.5MB without me knowing why (empty mail accounts) and my internet is at 6.2MB - although I'm inclined to reckon this is due to added bookmarks.

In the Mail app, under Menu>More>Settings>General Settings>Attachment Cache, do you have "external storage" selected?

Somehow, deleted junk mail attachments were still being kept and this was how one of my storage related issues was resolved. I go into the SD card dir and manually delete the large attachments now, if I can clearly make out which are unwanted. Even after the selected mail is deleted, their attachments are still there.

[Desire General] twogubs:
I`m going to go out on a limb and say that the op is using a googlemail or gmail account with the Htc Mail app and unless you actually delete from the account,not just the phone then the trash will just keep being resynced and added back.
[Desire General] zlivan:
Similar thing happened to me, but with the browser and perhaps with some other application, same 75mb in data, so it has to be a bug of some sort...
[Desire General] 1lapassione:
Thanks for all this - i was begining to think i was the only one suffering from it.

As per your question I do have external storage selected.

So when I go to the sdcard/mail directory are you saying that the files in there are the mail data that the mail app says is in storage internally?

There is a lot of them some are just numbers as the name,

permisssions : .rw

but it dosen't say the Mime type:

Size are all different - 47, 275 bytes

Some are tokens and numbers - but are 0 bytes in size

and i have maybe 20 which are small images (4,020 bytes)

If i'm wrong - slap me ! - surely that means that as i have external data selected the data should go to the sd card - so how come it keeps telling me that i'm low on internal memory if the data is stored on the sd card?

Are you suggesting that this data also needs to be removed too - but how can you differeniate between the files if you did want to keep important emails on the phone when the files are literally just aline of numbers?

Another point suggested by a forum member - the mail account is NOT a web based account - it is a server so that when they are downloaded once that's it you don't get them repeatidly - but thanks for the interest anyway.

Hopefully as other members are discussing this now we might get to a solution before the phones stop completl:confused:y !
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
Any news about it? Tried to figure out the location where these files are stored, but couldn't find it :(
[Desire General] wpetering:
Not sure anyone found an answer, but I believe the /sdcard/.mail directory is the files that get attached to outbound emails. I had my eris configured for the stock email package (for my personal email account) and a gmail account.

I rooted my phone recently and before I installed a bunch of stuff I parused the sdcard contents. The .mail directory had attachments from long ago.

I'm guessing they are orphaned since the email no longer exists on my phone.

I deleted the files since I had all the attachments. (leave the .mail dir)
[Desire General] dndxn:
I had exactly this issue with the HTC mail app also with a pop account.

Cleared cache, deleted all emails, deleted all acounts and then deleted all the actual emails it left behind on the sd card and phone using Astro file manager (yes deleting the accounts and email through the app made no difference and left them physically behind).

After doing all of the above the mail app still showed as 80MB used.

At this point i then bit the bullet and did a "factory data reset", this resolved the issue for me and i havent had the issue since (well sort of, read on).

I am a lot more stringent on my mail sync'd to the app now though which is what is making the difference / a work around.

I only sync 14 days, only download the text (attachments if i need them i do manually).

There is currently only 3MB being shown used in the email app now after 3 weeks (i dont get a lot of email), which is a lot for only text mails for 14 days with the odd attachment.

There is no way there is 3MB worth of email in the mailbox which for me confirms the app itself just doesnt clean up after itself when you delete the mails.

So yep seems like a bug to me, which by the way i saw in 2.1 and 2.2.

Hope that helps
[Desire General] lssong99:
Actually I have exactly same issue with my stock 2.1 desire.

Is this problem resolved in 2.2? I am with an Asia ROM so haven't got 2.2 yet.

Touchdown is okay but I don't really want to install another program just for this stupid bug...
[Desire General] bakedecake:
I read about people having problems with this app just after the Desire was released, it was said that the stock Android email app doesn't have any problems so I have been using that until recently and I never had any problems with it.

I have started using the HTC Mail app but I might switch back after reading this.
[Desire General] dndxn:
No its not fixed in 2.2, as per my previous post i have seen this issue in 2.1 and 2.2 which im currently running.
[Desire General] stan79:
how to claim back the free space without doing a factory reset? my mail app now is 47mb....
[Desire General] ii Candor ii:
Just another confirmation. I have a co-worker with a CDMA Desire running stock 2.1 -- Mail app is showing 69MB and getting the Low Disk Space warning notification. Deleted all mail accounts and power cycled -- no effect.

Probably going to end up doing a master reset.
[Desire General] zippyioa:
This may not work, but have any of you tried:

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications

In there, find the Mail program (you may need to click on the All tab) and click on it to open its properties.

This screen tells you how much space the app takes in total, how much is the app and how much is data.

It also gives you a button half way down on the left to "Clear Data"

USING THIS MAY DELETE YOUR MAIL/ACCOUNT SETTINGS ETC, but its better than a factory reset.

Additionally there is a clear cache button in the bottom right

Has anyone with the 75Mb space issue tried this?
[Desire General] ii Candor ii:
There is no "Clear Data" option. I think it's because it's a stock app shipped with the phone.
[Desire General] owziee:
Seriously!? I have the clear data option right there! Using stock froyo 2.2 rom...
[Desire General] ii Candor ii:
Yep. Running stock 2.1 on a CDMA Desire.
[Desire General] elburna:
Huh can't believe that. Have never seen before that u can't clear data of the HTC Mail app, even under 2.1...
[Desire General] hvihavai:
Old thread but I just updated my desire with the official gingerbread firmware.

When I had android 2.1 or 2.2 I could "clear data" but now after the 2.3.3 update "Clear data" button is not available.

Same problem, but not a severe yet, only 2 MB data without any accounts on the mail app.
[Desire General] roma_pop:
Also in 2.3 GB HTC mail can't connect by SSL to server with untrusted certificate :mad:
[Desire General] Flip78:
Yep. It depends on the security policy of your company actually. I have googled this quite extensivelly and found out that in 2.3 all security options are not included...

Since I moved to 2.3.3 I cannot sync to the exchange server of my company anymore as I did with 2.2.

I am now using Moxier mail from the market which is quite expensive but working perfectly.

Cheers.
[Desire General] roma_pop:
Is Moxier got mail widget ? Is he store attaches to sdcard?

P.S. Ohh it's for MS Exchange, but i use POPs and SMTP with TLS to send mail, got no other ability to send mails.
[Desire General] Niffer:
even though i have no mail accounts setup if i look at the app in settings it sits at over 3.5mb, of which is 1.06mb of data.. nothing is using this data as no mail accounts are setup and this data comes back every time i delete it
[Desire General] decmk:
Mail eat space on Official Gingerbread

Anyone notice this.

Clear data it's not possible.

BTW I'm not using this at all.

Edit:

Wipe data with titanium backup will free 1mb
[Desire General] k_osi:
Yup. my current headache at the moment. After installing gingerbread i thought i should try out the htc mail app again. Well that was a bad idea. Now I have 5MB of data I cannot clear and factory reset is not an option for me. I'm paying a lot for every data I use(no wifi at home yet and android not supporting ad hoc) and i cannot afford to have to download all my apps again after having to do that with the gingerbread update. Any new ideas?
[Desire General] ms|ayrton:
This is true. I had a similar problem, cause I had Yahoo Mail, gMail and Hotmail accounts added on my Desire, and as I recieve 10-20mails per day, I had a big problem. There wasn't time every day to remove mails, so,

In the end, I left only the gMail, where I recieve the less mails, and it's ok now!
[Desire General] donald46duck:
I am using Android 2.3.3 but had the same problem with 2.2. After just installing 2.3.3 E-mail needed 5,85 megabytes. The need increasing after that. I think the reason is, at least partly, a bug.

The measures requires s-off. Data for E-mail are in /data/data/com.htc.android.mail. Below I am within this folder all the time. The problem seems to be that when receiving html-coded mail – mails with formatted content - everything is not deleted when deleting the mails. When deleting every mail in every folder for every account there should not be anything in the folder app_mail. After receiving html-coded mails and deleting them the folder is not empty. I deleted these files without getting any problems.

In the folder databases there are two files increasing all the time, webview.db-wal and webviewCache.db-wal. I deleted both. They both resurrected with the size 0. No problems noted.

With the above measures E-mail needed 5.86 megabytes.

Careful: I managed to make my E-mail inoperable, probably by deleting some file by misstake. Before you try copy the whole folder com.htc.android.mail to the card. I have done the above on one HTC Desire and used one day after that without problems
[Desire General] schhh87:
same here. the mail data keeps rising. i know it sounds stupid, but i don't want to root. Is there any other solution? Are there other phones beside Desire with this problem? i' using official gb
[Desire General] derm123:
Yep exact same problem here, I found the same issue but used the sqlite3 client to delete the records from the database and then used the VACUUM command to rebuild the database which shrinks it down.

I'm now using k-9 mail client which does allow me to clear data/cache as I require!!!!
[Desire General] gunswick:
SOLUTION FOR THIS IS EASY:

I have Hotmail linked to the Mail app. Once a month I find it gets up to 8mb etc.

Open the Mail app > Menu > More > Settings > Delete account.

This will delink the mail app from your hotmail etc. This will delete all the temporary files the app is storing and the data is deleted finally!

You can use the app "disk usage" to view the amount of space Mail takes up.

Then you simply resetup the account (enter your email and password and just resetup your sync options).

It is a pain to do once a month, but actually it only takes <5 minutes to do. It isn't as bad as it sounds! :)

[HD2 General] ElveZ666:
/edit: topic must be: 802.11.g

hi there,

got my HD2 (stock vodafone rom) on friday and until now i am very statisfied, everything set up to my needs etc.

Today i wanted to stream videos from my win7-pc to the HD2. Installed TCPMP and Resco Explorer. Everything works fine except for the buffer-lags. i experimented with the buffer settings A LOT but nothing worked out. then i wanted to copy a movie to my HD2 and realized the speed in Resco: 39.2 Kb/s (no typo)

Copying to phone memory or SD-Card is the same.

My router (Fritzbox 7170) tells me that my HD2 is connected with 54MBit/s.

I even installed the 802.11.n CAB though my router doesnt support this speed. didnt work out either.

any help plz?

excuse my english - im from europe.

Thanks in advance

ElveZ

/EDIT: problem solved. wifi energy plan was set to battery life... works with 700+Kb/s set to performance.

keep up the good work in here
[HD2 General] dsx2b:
No wonder!

Gah!! I thought my hd2 wifi router was doomed to be slow at no more than 40kb/sec ! I thought i over heated it up and caused it to be permanently slow. I went nuts jumping from rom to rom, radio to radio hoping to get the full internet speed,...until you post showed up! (No, 'Search' didnt help me out much this time, had to browse through 26 pages of irrelevant post)

Now im gonna try to "Best performance" and see if it makes any difference. :)
[HD2 General] Munto:
Right Sorry for posting here but I can not make a Thread :S

Ok I tested my HD2 on a few speed test sites and then tested on the same site my laptop.

right on

broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk

Laptop: 15000 kbps Download

720 kbps Upload

HD2 Apparently: 20000 kbps Download

AND 40000 kbps Upload (WTF)

and then I was like ok lets try another site

broadband.talktalk.co.uk/products/broadband-guide/broadband-speed-test

Laptop: 16000 kbps Download

720 kbps Upload

HD2: 22000 kbps Download

44000 kbps Upload

Right, why does my phone get such a massive upload ? or is this some sort of a bug or false reading :confused:

P.S.

The HD2 is connected to the same WiFi as the laptop as well as the 3G.
[HD2 General] dsx2b:
"The Internet transfer/download speed of my laptop via 3g ith my hd2 as the wifi router " = 40kb/sec, which is Junk, btw.

"The Internet transfer/download speed of my laptop with my 3g usb modem" = 300 - 600kb/sec which is the speed I wished my connection was, via the same 3g connection but using the hd2 as the wifi. And I hope that changing the "Power mode" of the hd2 wifi to "Best performance" (thanks for the OP for pointing it out) , i could reach the speeds as my 3b usb modem. Gonna do a bit of testing 1st...

================

Rom - Miri dinik v17.0

radio - 2.11.50.20
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I get about the same download with wifi and 3G. Normal? EDIT: Turning it to Performance mode tripled my speed via WiFi.

Munto: What browser on the HD2 are you using?
[HD2 General] Munto:
I'm using Skyfire

Yeh just tested with opera 10 and now the speeds are close the the PC's results.

I guess Skyfire is full of BS.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Ah, Skyfire (and Opera Mini 5) uses server-side rendering so you won't get an accurate result. Skyfire's server downloads the pages, applies compression magic, and sends it to you, so the result is skewed by their probably ultra-fast servers. I think Opera 9.7 works the best for speed tests.
[HD2 General] killer666666:
i just recently got a new hd2 wich run 2.13 rom software and im haveing trouble getting it downgraded so i can put hspl on it. I know this has bean mentioned before and looked and tried everything i found abot it. My dads pc is a 32bit vista home edition can every time i load the downgrade it goes all the way into the set up and then gets stuck at 0% and then gives me a 262 error in like 5 mins. I know its a comunication error andi have tried every usb port on the pc. I am getting a clear sync and have no problems getting stuck on the boot screen. I just halft to reset everytime when it says it wont load. I have tried forceing it threw the boot menu but nothing works. The phone runs just fine still and i even did a hard reset to see if that would help.

Plz if somebody can help me i would be verry greatful and i am even willing to donate if i can get the mods for the phone up and running.

Plz respond as soon as possible.:confused:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
at this stage it doesn't matter that the pc doesn't work...... because you should be flashing the downgrade from sd card anyway.
[HD2 General] killer666666:
ok well i tried it once and it just went to a white loading screen and did nothing else. all i did was put the nbh in the sd card so if i messed up mind helping me out.
[HD2 General] killer666666:
ok so i just tried exactly what your link told me and it wont go past the white loading screen. do i just had a bad stock rom or what?
[HD2 General] killer666666:
yes i did change and i still just cant seem to get it to go threw
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you using the stock 16gb card? loads of posts say that card doesn't work. try an 8 or better yet a 2gb
[HD2 General] killer666666:
i have tried i 1,2,and 4 gig and nothing works.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
what rom are you downgrading it with?

When you downloaded the rom, did it come as an .exe or did it come as an .nbh file and customruu.exe together? Because if it DID then that wont work, it must be the .exe version.

I recommend the 2.10.0 from the thread

[ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS

Have you extracted the ruu_signed.nbh correctly? (you didnt just rename the .exe to leoimg.nbh did you?)

ALso try formatting your sd card, FAT32, not FAT, and for best results do a propper format, not a 'quick' format.
[HD2 General] killer666666:
i have done a propper format and its on fat32. i have also extracted the nbh file with 7zip i did not just rename it and i got the rom from a thread that had all the old os versions on this site
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
assuming you mean THIS thread,, only the ones in that thread that come as an exe will work, the others will need hspl.
