Note! If you insert an external memory, it is recommended you change the
default storage location. This allows you to save more files on your phone,
like pictures and videos. We recommend that you regularly copy your
photos from the phone's internal storage to your computer as a form of
backup, see Connect the phone to a computer, p.37. These files are found
in the DCIM folder on your phone. DCIM stands for Digital Camera IMages
and it is the default directory structure for digital cameras and for
smartphone cameras.
Free up memory space
The memory in your device tends to fill up as a result of normal usage. If
your phone starts to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, con-
sider the following:
Delete pictures
• If you use your phone to take a lot of pictures, remember to back
them up on your computer every now and again. Not only will this
prevent you from losing any photos if anything were to happen to
your phone, but it also gives you the opportunity to delete them from
your phone and free up space. You can access your pictures by simply
plugging your phone into your computer via a USB cable, see Connect
the phone to a computer, p.37.
• There are also several services to use if you want to back up your pho-
tos – in many cases, automatically. Preloaded to this phone is the
Google application, Photos, that supports unlimited storage, photo
and video back up, and even create mini-albums for you.
Clear the cache memory
What is cache? When you are surfing the web or using apps on your
phone’s browser, those websites that you visit will be stored on your
phone in an area of memory called cache. The reason is that the next time
you visit the same website or app the phone will load it from cache memo-
ry instead of downloading everything again from the server which, take up
time and bandwidth.
