Hi. I have an imate pocket pc with c_shanker's wm5 rom. I am trying to install the bell ui found in the development section. It says my storage memory is critically low. How do i free it. The rom gave me around 14mb of storage memory and 30mb of ram disk. plz help
Go to Internet Explorer and clean out your browser history and all temp files. You'll find this under options. Also move any number of extra files, media, photos etc to the storage card to free up more space. You should be able to free up some memory this way.

i am runing WM5 version 1.6c the Storage memory shows 1 mega while the program memory shows 100 mega...but i am not able to install programs i get a message says not enough memory.....please help what is the problem....thankx
Are you new to WM5?
No Dear....but i was thinking that the program memory shown at the memory screen for the program installation....but i found that the paert of Storage is the one where the installed programs go.....so what is the usage of the Program part of the memory and how can i increase the size of the memory allocated to programs installation.
best regards
I've same problem with you. In my xda, I just have 2MB free storage. Maybe anybody can help us to increase our storage
Hi Guys,
I have a question..
How can i know what programs i should install to my stoarge memory, and which to install to my main memory? And whats the difference?
Im guessing that i would install important programs direct to main memory right? But because of limited space this can be tough. Heres a list of programs i use. Could someone please advise me which to install to Main memory and which to install to a storage card for max perfromance:
Skype
Netfront 3.3
Opera
Agile Messenger
MemMaid
Resco Explorer
TCPMP
Broken Sword (Game)
XCPU Scalar
Thanks for the help guys!
Which device do you have?
If it's a Windows Mobile 5 device, the performance between internal or memory card is minimal. If it's 2003se or older, then performance from memory will be far higher.
Rule of thumb for me is, what couldn't I do without if the memory card popped out and got lost. I put those apps internally.
Also something to consider (on a WM5 device) is that flash memory can only be written to a finite amout of times, so if you have an app that constantly rewrites data (such as NetFront with the cache) then I would stick that on a memory card. It's cheaper to replace a worn out card in 2 years than the whole device. Although I imagine most people on here replace their device within a year to 18 months anyway.
When I go to File Manager - System info, I see the following information:
Storage memory: 17.95MB
Used: 14.83MB
Free: 3.12MB
Program memory: 44.70MB
Used: 27.78MB
Free: 16.92MB
Does this mean that when I install programs, I can only use 16.92MB? And that above 3.12MB is used only for storing documents,music, etc?
Also, if I install program on a storage card, will any of the phone memory be used for saving some application specific data for this application?
How much memory does phone need to operate properly? And can it use Storage memory for its operations, or only program memory?
thanks,
Goran
Memory
Goran,
Storage memory is the built-in memory, it's used for storing anything at all. If you have only 3Mb left that's too little. If you use Internet Explorer often, you'll soon be getting messages like 'Your free space is running low'. Try installing to the SD card as many programs as you can except those that need to be installed in the main memory (e.g. WM5torage).
And 'Program memory' is the same as RAM on a desktop PC. It's used for running programs. 17Mb free says that some programs are running in the background. Immediately after reboot you should have around 27-30Mb free.
Thanks, George, I got it now. After installing WM6 tings now look better.
Hi.
I've been using Windows Mobile for about 10 months now, and have been very happy with it and blah blah blah...
One thing that I really don't understand, is the memory "settings" page.
It shows storage and program memory, as well as a seperate tab for my storage card. Could someone please explain to me what the storage memory and program memory are? I know they're both my internal memory (as in, not my SD card), but don't get why there's 2! I would have thought it makes more sense to just have a value for the "fixed" memory, and a value for removable memory.
Thanks in advance guys & gals.
John.
Storage memory is like the HDD on your PC, it's the where you store the data.
Program memory is the RAM, where the programs are loaded to run.
Thanks syqe - that makes sense. Typical Microsoft to call something we're all 100% familiar with by a different name!
It also makes me happy because it means I've got shedloads of space left on my internal drive
Thanks again.
Storage Memory is the memory on your device which is available for installation of new applications/data.
Program memory is somewhat like the RAM on your PC. when you run an application from your Storage Memory, it loads to your Program Memory to run, just like on PC, when you run an application and it loads to your RAM.
Storage Card memory is the memory on your storage card.
Now the question is how to get things off of your storage memory and onto your high capicity microSD card?
Also, how do you manage your Ram aside from the simple task managers on windows mobile phones? Is there a more advanced task manager that will show you what the hogs are and let you determine if they are worth it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The best for that is SKTools... there is also dotfred task manager (this 1 is free) but I'd rather pay 30 bucks for SKTools.
i'm using samsung omnia 16GB with WM6.2. my phone main memory is 94.2mb for STORAGE & 96.26mb for PROGRAM.Both are almost fully used up.i have a lot of programs installed & i can't install anymore programs due to insufficient space.I've been looking for an application that can allow me to install programs on my 16GB storage instead of phone main memory.I'm hoping someone here can help me out.I've been searching & all i could find was ram cleaners.
SKTools will allow you move installed program data to My Storage.
I only have 1 app on device memory all the rest have been installed to My Storage.
good day.
