The Omnia boasts of 8G and 16G of memory space, in addition to a storage card of 1G. With such huge memory available, you would have thought that you will never face lack of it in your mobile phone. Unfortunately, unless you are very conversant with IT (information technology), you will find messages in Omnia telling you that you have lack of critical memory and will not receive SMS etc.
The fact is that the resident memory in "My Device" is only about 100M for both storage and program. It is the storage that you need to watch out, as the "In Use" memory goes up very quickly to zero, making it impossible for you to receive SMS and even switch on your camera!
After searching the internet for awhile, I found that the quickest and easiest way to ensure your storage in "My Device" is enough to do your normal work, is to delete the files inside your cache, if you had been using the browser, "Opera". Go to Program/File Explorer/My Device/Application Data/Opera9/cache. Open the file, go to Menu/Edit/Select All/Menu/Delete. Your storage space will come back up to perhaps 20MB, depending on the way you use your phone.
The other thing is never to install any program into "My Device"; but instead do it to "My Storage" (8G/16G) or "Storage Card"(1G/2G). The latter two have more than enough space for most people.
If you are IT savvy, you can change the cache location from "My Device" to either "My Storage" or "Storage Card" by opening the Opera browser. At the address box, type in "opera:config" which leads to to the "Preference Editor". Scroll down all the way till you come to "User Pref"; click and go on looking for Cache Directory 4. In the box, you will see "\Application Data\Opera9\Cache. You can change the default. Do a search on "opera:config" and you will get help on how to change it.
A simple trick of clearing the cache will ensure you can enjoy the Omnia, without having a lack of memory that will certainly frustrates you, after having paid so much money for it, yet not enjoying its full potential.
More on my learning over time.
