Internal memory

[KMfiremedic111]

Hello. i Just got the LG Optimus S. I love it! I understand that the internal memory of 512 MB is shared by a lot of things. When my phone is fresh it says I have like 148mb of internal memory. First question. Why so low? Next question as I am adding apps I see that number going down. What happens when I get to zero?? Will I not be able to download apps any longer unless I delete some? I have only downloaded 15 apps so far. What gives? Some one please help. I wish the androids were like the Apple ipod touches and iphones where you can download hundreds of apps and they will all go on the built in memory. This is a bummer so far.

Yes you are stuck with that amount. If you run out you can't get any more apps.

Do you need a rooted phone to get Titanium backup? Does it take apps and put them onto SD that normally would not be able to be transfered onto the SD? Won't that mess up the phone some how?

If you don't want to root your phone I highly recommend App 2 SD. It really simplifies the process of moving apps tot he SD card, even prompting you when you download new apps.
