I'll give you a hint. Did it ever occur to you that maybe you're wrong and the phone's right? I know it's probably hard for someone like you to imagine a world in which you could possibly be wrong, but just try it. If the device is telling you it's run out of rootfs space (let me guess, you havent heard of that, havent bothered looking into it, and just assume you have "loads of space" because the 32gb eMMC isnt full yet) then it probably is, and that's also almost guaranteed to be the source of pretty much every other problem you've drivelled on about.

Go take a look at that, then come back with a sensible non-whiney post asking how you might have filled your rootfs partition, what the consequences of that are, and if anyone can help you sort it out, instead of drivelling on blaming anything you can think of, and you might suddenly find you get a helpful response and a working device.
While I think whiny posts are getting old, in his defense, the only way of knowing about the rootfs concept is by coming here. Every other mobile operating system only have to deal with how much RAM is available and how much ROM is left. The N900 is advertised as having 32GB of ROM available to the end user and I think they have every right to complain is for some reason the device complains about full memory if /home and MyDocs appear as empty. I mean there are no way to show how much memory is available out of the box without having to use the CLI...

I mean I like my N900 and all but some of you guys replies to whiners are sometimes pretty misguided.
