Right now, I’m doing some research regarding client-side storage on mobile devices. But for that, I need your help!
Please grab all phones you have and navigate to https://jensarps.de/tests/storage-tests/.
There are four tiny tests there. Please do them all and report your results for each phone. If you like, include your twitter handle so I can say thank you!
Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks a ton!!
Report:

Doesn’t look good :(
@Peter
Thanks for testing!
Well, not *too* bad, at least there’s localStorage implemented :)
Moto Milestone, Android 2.1, KHTML Browser
– Test SQ fieldsize: up to 1024 kb o.k., then very slow. Start of first insertion error depends on how much storage is allready in use. If -> Website settings -> Clear data then one has more storage capability
– SQ Limits: If storage cleared before, up to 10 MB … then system error notification. If not cleared but full, error msg takes like 30 seconds to appear and no storage happens.
– Local storage, up to nearly 10MB, then browser crashes.
– Local events seems to work ok as far as there is enough storage space free and as long as one doesnt refresh the page, then things get whacky
Hope this helps, would be very interested to see overall test results, regards Ringo
@Ringo
Yes, this helps indeed, thanks a lot!
The results, including desktop browser’s results, will be published here – though I don’t think I’ll be able to do so before JSConf end of the month.
