Hi, my n900 has just started popping up with 'device memory full cannot send/recieve'. i know this has been di]scussed before but i need a step by step noob guide to sorting this out!

any help greatly appreciated.

Go to settings>memory. How much is available?

Also, what do you get typing "df -h" into the xterm?

Mem: Inst. Apps - 1.65gb
Mem. Card - 1.4gb
N900 - 26gb

df -h

as far as i can tell i need to uninstall some apps that use root memory???

You seem to have free space... Try rebooting. Is there a problem recieving messages? Can you get any SMS messages? Have you enabed extras testing or extras devel?

I am also having the same problem.
I believe it is due to some software i installed.
The newer ones i installed are usbcontrol, pypianobar, Qlandkarte M,
Mstardict, Qstardict.
Do you have any of above installed ?

For me the problem is it previously gave error for device memory full and now after few days it gives error if i try to access any device memory like images/ video, also it gives error when i go in application manager. So i cannot uninstall any thing.. Also it does not allow changes in contacts or calender or any of default installed softwares
If anyone has a clue, please help !!

i highly recommend flashing the emmc. i had it happen before too. even when you delete and free up space, you still the notification...its a notification prob from what ive gathered.

Don't flash eMMC until you are ready to loose any data on internal memory, which is NOT NAND-rootfs!

ive already rebooted and the message keeps popping up. every 30secs or something.dont appear to be able to send sms. not sure about recieving. got devel and extras enabled,yeah.

also, the facebook widget has disappeared from my desktop and,just before the error occured, all the desktop backgrounds disappeared too. i then rebooted and the backgrounds came back,minus the fb widget and plus the errors!
