Why my contact list takes as much memory?

Help!  I have 288 contacts and the phone reports they take ~ 38 MB of storage!  It's ridiculous...

Phone copy ringtones and images associated with a contact in the local memory, or to link to them on the SD card?

If memory, how can you

  1. say the size taken up by each contact (so I can locate the offenders)?
  2. remove the ring and / or the image of the memory?

NOTE: I tried to delete an image and the ring setting to my default and it did NOT help...

Have you seen this in management applications setting?  That's a lot of memory.  I don't know why he would use so much.  I checked my and he used only 4 KB.  You should be able to empty by clearing the data.  Press Menu-> settings-> Applications-> manage data applications-> Menu-> Filter-> All-> Contacts-> Clear-> OK.  I tried this on my phone just to make sure that you don't lose anything and I didn't lose any contacts or information.  When I did this it dropped to 0 for a short period and is then returned to its original 4 KB.  I exported my Contact list on the SD card just as a precaution.  You can do this by opening the Contacts application and then tap Menu-> Import/Export.  I hope this helps.

    Uninstalling programs can save you some disk space (very little),

  • kernel_task takes too much memory on El Capitan

    Hello, I own a MacBook Pro retina 13 inches beginning 2013 (MacBook Pro 10.2) with 8 GB RAM and El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I noticed that I have a process in my activity monitor called kernel_task who gets in as 750 MB of my memory, sometimes of 1 GB. It's very embarrassing and I can't find a solution. I've read the 'tutorials' how to solve but is without limitation my CPU like crazy, it takes like 11%... or more (but not 600% as I've seen on other users). Is however very thirsty on memory and I can't kill him or identify the source of the problem. I rebooted my system does everything like in the book, no devices attached. I don't have a heating problem... or at least I don't think. My cooler starts when he needs too.

    Also I noticed this process is written (the tab Disk Activity Monitor) as 13.6 Mb on 64-bit (like) and reads 716Kb. What the * happens?
    I want that my memory at the back. Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    I say it's normal. kernel_task is the core of the operating system.

  • USB6356 read.vi daqmx takes too much memory

    I use 6356 USB data acquisition, when I took the data, the DAQmx memory of PC more read.vi. To certain extent, show "there not enough memory to complete.  I put 2 ms/channel and frequency Hz 1 M, I know he is very big. But then daat 6 - 7 times without problem. My PC has 3 G of memory.

    It seems that DAQmx read to store more data in the buffer. I have set my vi here, please check what mistake I did here or how to improve it.

    Thanks Liming

    Hi detech,.

    DAQmx read takes 16 MB of memory because it allocates a buffer to return the data you request. You use the type of waveform data and ask for 2 million samples. Each element in the waveform data type is a point value double floating precision, which each take 8 bytes to store. So the 16 MB you see used is (8 bytes per sample) x (2 million samples).

    To get samples of 2 M, you will need to use this amount of memory, and it is not a simple way around this. However, the problem you are having is that whenever the loop runs, you need additional continuous data for the chart of waveform, which is distinct from the memory used by DAQmx, because the waveform table keeps a history of 16 MB.

    If you pass in a waveform curve, or simply the result of your FFT graph, I suspect that your problems will be solved, you will use only 16 MB (more the overhead of DAQmx and LabVIEW) at some point.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Pack Microsoft Jigsaw taking too much memory

    I installed the game Jigsaw Microsoft and downloaded a few packages of puzzle. Now it takes too much memory on my tablet.  What I was wondering was if I moved the puzzle of the modules to an external device (USB) so I would be able to move them from the tablet.  I lose my statistical information (time) for these packages?

  • Photo library take too much space even with active iCloud

    I am paying to iCloud and I have hundreds of GB available, yet my iPhone 5 c is constantly telling me I'll have storage problems, mainly caused by the photo library, containing several GB.  I have iCloud library enabled, as well as the option 'optimize iPhone storage '.  Photos latest have already transferred in my library, so I know that photos download correctly and not late, but why the library still takes so much space?

    Because it is.

    If you have used all available space on your phone, you need to remove some content on the phone.

    The setting "Optimize phone Storage" is not magic. Your phone still has a finite amount of space. It may be that pictures should be removed, but it will be something.

    Check the settings > general? Use storage & icloud. Look what's too much your space.

  • Why the system takes so much hard drive space (about 110 GB)?

    How can I reduce it. I can't imagine why it takes so much space. does anyone have an idea?

    System: T400, bussiness Vista 32

    Hi Halloechen_Wei,

    Probably of rescue and recovery made a bunch of backups that are too much space. I don't remember exactly what we call the option, but if you start the Rescue and Recovery program, there's a way to 'recover space' or something like that. Essentially, you can remove some of the backups to recover the part of hard disk space.

    Good luck

  • Why lightroom takes as much HARD drive space?

    Hi guys.

    I am currently using the trial of Lightroom CC, really interested in buying, but one thing really bothers me.

    I left on my Macbook 10 GB of storage. After you import all my RAW files that are stored on a disk of 1 TB external HARD, my Macbook internal storage has dropped to 8GB.

    I was under the impression that Lightroom does not copy the pictures in its library, but references the original files on the external HARD drive.

    What would be the reason why take so much space?

    My Macbook's internal storage is very limited, so I have to rely on external hard drives, so this is a dealbreaker for me.

    Thank you

    Hi stuontour

    The best thing to do in such a situation would be to keep the catalog and images on the external hard drive.

    How do mentioned below-

    • Open Lightroom
    • Click file - new catalogue
    • Now create a new catalog on the external hard drive and click ok
    • Lightroom opens now with this new catalogue
    • Click Import, and then use the Add option to import images

    In this way, you can keep all the data on the external hard drive, but ultimately you need to increase your HARD drive you can install plugins or applications of presets.

  • Why firefox uses so much memory?

    For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

    I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

    I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

    Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!
