Memory, external SD, and updating directly from 1.0 to 1.5

Technical Support

hi all,

I received my Kompakt a few months ago. I had to update manually from 1.0 to 1.5 and that ended up taking a lot of memory. Between that and limited sideloaded apps like GPS, text-to-speach to give turn by turn navigations, email, music, messaging, I only have 1.7 gb of memory remaining on the device. I do use an external SD card for map and music storage. I’m realizing come the next software update, I may not be able to install it.

Is it possible reset the phone and update the phone to 1.5 os to save memory?

Something i find frustrating both on the phone and in Mudita Center, in checking storage, all the used storage is under “other files.” I can’t see exactly what is taking up space. Is there any other way to see with more specific details what is taking up space to consider deleting?

Is there a way to move dowloaded content on to the SD card? I have checked in the app settings and only some allow to choose the SD card. Is there a sideloaded app that can do this? I wish this could be done by clicking and dragging files in Mudita center from internal storage to the external SD.

Hi. Thank you for reaching out. I’m not sure if it’s the maps or the updates that are taking up all the space, but just to be sure, you can save your downloaded maps to an external SD card:

When it comes to updates, from the way I understand it, when you perform each new update, it overrides the old update, so when you perform a factory reset, your phone will rest to the newest update, not the original one.

Additionally, you can also remove the APK files from your memory once they have been installed. Don’t worry, removing the APK files does not remove or uninstall the app from your phone.

Out of curiosity, how many apps have you sideloaded & what are they?

Maybe the community can give you some ideas about third-party apps that help with movement of files because I’m not familiar with those type of apps.
