Checking Out

So I know this is a trope at this point, go to the forum to say you're gone, but I have something to say which is often overlooked. I like this game, not like i used too, but I've played every day for over 270, but it's time give up at least for now. Not because of team-ups, true healing, seasons or alliances. Those things happened and some made me scale back my play time, but I kept with it. My tipping point is the size of the damned app. I get that a lot of phones have 8+ GB of storage, but I can't afford one of those. I have 2GB. This app has grown from 100MB to 220 MB in 8 months. That means it now accounts for over 10% of the storage on my phone. Whenever there is an update I have to uninstall other apps I enjoy more and hope there is space to reinstall them. I like MPQ but not at the expense of something like Doctor Who Legacy which does match 3 in a more thoughtful way (drag 1 gem along to create matches in a set amount of time) AND gives away Time Crystals and Characters ALL the time. All that and for only 3/4 the size. Maybe MPQ will figure out that It doesn't need to be so bloated, and maybe more server side storage would discourage cheating. Maybe they'll realize we don't need to see moonstone posing or daredevil nut-kicking to enjoy the game. Most important, someday maybe I can afford a better phone or move my game to steam without restarting. Until that potential day, it's been fun matching tiles and **** about updates with you guys. And remember at the end of the day it's just a game and not worth having a heart attack over.

    LG Optimus L9 (MS769) theoretically has 4 GB but after OS and mfg bloatware I have about 2 gigs to play with. Have an 8 GB card on it, but Android 4.1 doesn't let me store apps on card like 2.3 did (I've looked into rooting, but I'm too nervous that I'm going to mess up a device I need.)

    I've had the same issue with my android phone before as well. It kept saying not enough space to update and eventually uninstalled it. Then it started saying the same thing to other apps I had that only needed 15MB. It got to a point that I pretty much uninstalled all the apps I had which were not necessary but I still could not update any of the remaining apps.

    Long story short, I Googled the issue and found that I could free up a lot of space by doing the following:

    In your dialer do the following:

    Type *#9900#
    Select the option "Delete dumpstate/logcat"

    Freed up more than half my storage space to allow me to reinstall MPQ and other apps back into my phone.

    You might not be encountering the same problem so this might not work for you but I suggest you give it a try.
