How to solve Nokia N73 Memory Too Low Delete Some Data?

How to solve Nokia N73 Memory Too Low Delete Some Data?

Have you been using your phone, Nokia N73 or Nokia N73 Music Edition and suddenly got the error, “Memory Too Low Delete Some Data Solution“? Well, it happened last week to my couzin and he searched high and low for the answer and after minutes of searching, he managed to solve the issue.

Since the problem arrived, he noticed that he cannot send text messages. Everytime he tries to send a message, he gets the error message, Memory Too Low Delete Some Data Solution. (Poor guy can’t reply to his girl hehe)

The cause of the problem is simple. The phone is using too much Phone Memory. Note that cellular phones has two types of “memory” in them. The phone (internal) memory and the memory card (external memory). So what was done to solve the problem was to let the phone use the memory card instead of the phone memory.

Simple Steps on how to do it:

  • Go to Message Settings
  • Go to Other
  • Change the memory usage to use memory card

It will then work after that.

Of course this is all the solution to the problem, Nokia N73 can’t send messages, so I will add this too so that I can rank for this keyword phrase too.

      I also had the same issue and it took me a month between calling customer service and reading the manual to figure it out.

      Good information.

      Hi.. I have the same problem, checked in the File manager and found tat there are no files in the phone memory. Deleted almost all my messages (Inbox, Sent and Outbox) and still Im getting the message :(

      If I change the setting to Memory Card for the messages (as said in your post) I find that N73 is taking almost close to 30 seconds to send the message :(

      Is there any other solution??? And why is this not shown in the File manager?? Wld appreciate if you could mail me the details as I dont have access to many websites from my office….

      Thanks!!

      Nokia N73 Memory Too Low Delete Some Data Solution:

      I scoured the net, called my Service Provider Vodafone, and called Nokia help (Whom are absolutey SH*T in their support) it goes thru to a call centre in Europe of the Asia Pacific rim (Not India, thank god!) I never got thru to Nokia Tech Help the customer advisor that picks up puts you thru and it rings and rings… I did this at work and it rang for 20 mins – So be warned!! Vodafone are useless too especially if you get a dozey cow called Wendy to help you… USELESS!!
      The above option of changing messages to memory card actually WORKS!!! For those who say its slow to send a messag it does not appear to happen to me, but like anything that holds storage, the more you put on the slower it WILL get, the N73 is slow anyway, accept that fact and you’ll be ok!!
      So to repeat what you need to do to stop that annoying message of “Nokia N73 Memory Too Low Delete Some Data” is to go into:
      MENU OPTIONS then select/click on MESSAGE select/click on OPTIONS (Bottom left of screen if Vodafone) then scroll down to SETTINGS click/select that then scroll down to OTHER then scroll down to MEMORY IN USE click/select that and choose CARD MEMORY as the first post states, IT WORKS!!
      Now I’d rather a SLOW working phone that a phone that does not work at ALL!! So anyone moaning about slowness go and PAY to get it fixed then!

      Hey hi,
      I too got this problem, even worse.
      When I changed the settings to receive messages into memory card, I could get them and send them for a while and after some time the problem got repeated.
      Then I used to switch the phone off and then switch it on. But still the same problem occurred after sometime

      The ultimate solution for this is to format your phone.
      Back up your phone data to a computer using NOKIA PC SUITE and then follow these steps.

      1. Switch on your Nokia phone

      2. Now Press following key sequence *#7370#

      3. Press left soft key “YES”

      4. Enter Default lock code is 12345. (If you have changed key, enter that)

      5. Connect to the computer and restore all the backup files to your phone.

      Now, your phone will be free of that problem.
      If the problem persists, contact NOKIA Customer care.

      Please Note: The Above Nokia Phone Formatting method will erase all your Phone data. So do backup before proceeding for Formatting

      Good, your fix works. But in my case, that was just a workaround.

      The real problem was associated with the report messages.

      If you are like me, I like to activate every option that gives me information. This also gives me headaches from time to time. So, I found that I had a lot of message reports stored, consuming almost 40 MB of my phone memory.

      To solve the problem,

      1) go to Messaging, and select “Reports” (is the next item after “Outbox”). This folder must be empty. If it isn’t, just select “Options” and “Clear deliv reports”.

      2) ensure that you are not receiving delivery reports. At the Messaging and the folder screen, select “Options” and “Settings”. Enter into “Text message” and scroll down to the “Receive report” option. It must be set to “No”.

      I hope this help you.

      Kind regards,
      Charly.

      Low memory problem?
      Do you use your phone for browsing?
      Then you should try clearing the browser cache.
      Open the web browser, Options > Advanced Options > Clear Cache.
      Then check your Phone Memory usage. It will be considerably lower now. Mine went down from 44MB to 20 MB.
