volume, and language settings; emails; bookmarks; calendar events; photos; videos and
music.

some apps, along with their associated data, can be moved to this type of memory to
free up internal storage. Some apps, for example, the Camera app, can save data

Improving Memory Performance
The memory in your device tends to fill up as a result of normal usage. If the device starts
to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, you should consider the following:
•
Always have more than 100 MB of free internal storage available.
•
Close down running applications that you are not using.
•
Clear the memory cache for all applications.
•
Uninstall downloaded applications that you don't use.
•
Move applications to the memory card if the internal storage is full.
•
Transfer photos, videos, and music from the internal memory to the memory card.
•
If your device can't read content on the memory card, you may need to format the card.
Note that all content on the card gets erased when you format it.
If you are using a device with multiple users, you must log in as the owner, that is, the primary
user, to be able to perform certain actions, such as transferring data to the memory card and
formatting the memory card.
