Did HTC fix "low memory" error and not tell anyone?

I am way below the threshold (< 520 mb internal memory) where I used to the get "low memory" error, but I'm not getting the error anymore. Anyone else experience this or anyone still getting the error?
 
The error is still out there.

No fix has been announced and no new OS upgrades have been pushed.

Guess you are a lucky one.

I still get this warning fairly regularly. Uninstalling an unused app usually clears it.
 
or clearing out all the cache... That helped me.

I use a free program called aCCleaner.

One button cache cleaner for unrooted phone.

Good find! It's called "1Tap Cleaner" now. I was already a fan of App 2 SD. Both apps were developed by the same person.
 
I used to get the low memory message frequently. Since I rooted and have Cyanogen 7, no more error message and MUCH better battery life...not to mention the other great features.
However, I still use the cache cleaner in app2sd almost daily
 
I am getting this error almost daily. It started about a month or so ago, but now I can't get it to leave. I still have about 500 mg of internal memory and I don't have any apps that take up more than 17 MB of space. Will rooting my phone save me? I can't send or receive email! Does anyone have a good site/guide for rooting my HTC Incredible?

Did you update to Gingerbread yet?
 
Nope, just got another low memory warning and deleted a couple of apps. The Vigor can't come soon enough.
 
I never had this issue until the update. I've got plenty of internal storage memory. cleaning my cache and deleting tons of apps helped for a while but it came back.
 
Gotta root to really effectively solve that error. 1Tapcleaner helps, but you need to see what's taking up space in your data/data folder on the sd card, and you can only check that if rooted - DiskUsage is the best app for that. That folder only holds 150 mb of data, lib, etc pieces of apps and when it gets to less than 10mb or so, it'll trigger that error. And it fills up fast as you use some of your apps (like browsers which pile up cache space, etc).

Opera browser, Touchdown, Contacts all are big offenders with this folder.

I used to get that low on space error all the time and it drove me insane (and made my phone sluggish and stopped apps and email from synching til it was cleared). Rooting helped a bunch and now i can monitor that data/data folder so I don't get anywhere near that error getting triggered. Rooting is really the way to go!
