Lost Phone Memory after Updating...Why???

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/lost-phone-memory-after-updating-why.62386/

Recently I updated my N70 firmware to 5.705.3.0.1 via NSU.My phone works fine but whn I checked d phone memory,it's only 14MB left

since it's 19MB free b4 updating process

Where is my 5MB space :?:

Anyone tell me how to re-gain it,as less phone memory effects phone's performance

THANKS for ur replies :!:

^^^ u cant regain the 5mb u've lost.cuz the new firmware was bigger in size by 5MB as compared to ur prev version.so it took 5MB more.

yep.. U cant recover that space.. It is used by the new firmware..

So it means one should now avoid upgrading fw to prevent phone memory

I wonder why did I do this :evil:

its not like that.. Generally the os files get stored in the flash rom of the fone only ie z/ but in this case if some extra space is needed then c/ space is occupied..

But one of my frnd recommend me to format d phone after updating fw...Is it safe n can I re-gain d space filled :?:

Neither will you get your memory back nor should you do a format. Also you should always update to a new firmware whenever its available. Also if you have a memory card you should not worry much about your phone memory if its only got reduced by 5mb. Your ram is still unaffected and thats what matters in a smartphone most.

Hey I got it back Buddy :razz:

This is how I did it - I follow '3 key FORMAT' procedure n now my phone memory is 5MB free :twisted:

n my phone is much FASTER than earlier times :lol:

So now it is must u have to FULL FORMAT ur phone after upgrading ur Firmware

But rest assured u must backup ur phone memory before this :!:
