After installing everything to the storage card of my iMate JAM, Wisbar is reporting that I have 2kb of 'Internal Storage'. The problem is, I can't find this 'Internal Storage' folder to delete whatever's filling it up. I've read that some people have been having problems with it disappearing, but to anyone that's had this problem, is a hard reset the only way to fix it?
This will be my last question, honest

Hi,
I have developed an eVB application for a client who needs to keep critical data on his PDA (model is QTEK 2020).
To prevent memory loss on hard reset, I keep everything on the internal "Memory Card" (the 14.5 Mo on the ROM, no SD card), in a subdirectory under the \storage\ directory. This is supposed to be nonvolatile memory.
The problem is that one user ran out of battery, and when the PDA was reset, the application and data had totally disappeared from the storage folder.
So here are my questions: is it possible that, under certain circumstances, the internal storage space can loose data? Has this ever been reported? Would an SD card be a more reliable solution?
I first suspected the user had done something wrong (such as unwanted deletion of folder), but this seems quite unlikely as she performed very basic operations.
Would an SD card be a more reliable solution

well it would not get deleted by a hardreset
Still I wouldn't rely on an SD either...
Some people (including me) have experienced sudden SD Memory wipes!!!
However, I have not seen any more SD wipes since I upgraded to 1.72WWE.
(cross my fingers)
Very strange for the storage area to delete, I didnt think it was possible without running code to unlock and access it.
Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
No solution?
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...
also
setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

Hi there... I have had your same prob... I got rid of it simply disabling the "messages" today plug in, and it worked...
have fun
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to cash cab files to you storage card instead of you local storage.
Because every so often I’ll install a large cab file from my storage card to my storage card and I’ll be presented with a messages that say I need to clear up some storage on my phone first.
Is there a way around this?
Thank You

One more ?
What do you mean by "cash"?
Is it the same as "copy"?
Ok. Let’s try this. Apologies if I was confusing.
I have a CAB file located on my storage card. When I execute the cab to install the application, I’m presented with a messages saying I have insufficient storage available. Yet, my destination patch for that application is my storage card. (I’ve selected the destination path when I was prompted when executing the CAB file).
The only reason I can think of it that when you try to install an application from a cab file that’s already on your storage card the PDA try’s to load it first to the onboard memory before writing it away to the storage card. Is this true? If so, how do I change the location of where the temporary file should be cashed?
The same thing happens when someone Bluetooth’s me a large file, and though I select the location for the receiving file to my storage card, it stil pops up with a dialog saying I have insufficient memory available.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

OK, it sounds to me like your device is not reading your storage card properly. Remove, then re-insert the storage card. Hope this was the problem.
Hmmm. I’ve try that. No luck. It happenes only when I’m installing applications that’s larger than the remaining onboard storage. This made me think of my post above.
Has anyone lese encountered this? I mean, can you guys install applications larger than the available onboard storage? Even though the location is your storage card?

Yes as a matter of fact it has happened to me. For some reason when you install an app to the storage card, memory comes out of the main, leaving you with maybe 0.5MB which is not enough to complete the download. If I remember correctly, I've installed some apps to the SD card, memory is used from main, but stopped at a certain level, then converted to using SD memory, therefore being able to have enough memory to do the download, and the memory that was taken from main before conversion, was put back in the main memory. This is just a guess, maybe the app you're installing won't convert for you. Certain types will use main memory only regardless of being instructed to install on the SD card.

FYI
If you tap on the start menu/settings/system tab/memory, you can actually see what and how much memory is being used during a large file download.
Always get the message "Storage memory is critically low." when starting my BA. In Settings storage is shown 44.34 total, 44,30 used. Program 109,12 total and 38,61 used.
BA slows down raoidly now. what can i do against it ?
please help...
Delete unneded data from storage memory? Isn't it obvious?
Anything that is in /My Documents and software installed on the device (not in the SD card).
BTW: you did not repartition the ExtROM while upgrading to WM6? Storage should be 60MB, not 44MB.
thx
thx, didn´t know, that my documents is on the storage; had a recording with 15 mb on it (pushed button accidentially in my bag), so storage was full.
tried to repartition in 2003SE and to reflash, but now my xda3 is stuck. same problem here

Hi
Recently have had problem with my SD card and phone.
Somehow on my sd card name has been changed and now nothing works for me?
In real terms: originally when clicking from my phone, it had two options: my device, storage card.
Now somehow it automatically has been renamed to storage card2, other folder of storage card has only one program of opera 10. Everything else has moved over to storage card2.
Hence everything that I had on my phone doesn't work at all. All my icons have gone to square shaped, you know the default/error icon?
(i) Im trying to move over eveything to original storage card folder but no luck.
(ii)I'm trying to delete original 'storage card' folder and rename the 'storage card folder2' to 'storage card' but still no luck.
(iii) what's the best way to overcome this issue?
Has anyone else had this problem?
Please can someone help and advice me into the right direction.
thanks in advance
I had this issue , i think twice.
What I did is deleted the folder that didn't have anything in it.
It could be the Storage Card or Storage Card2 , make sure you delete the empty one.
And then soft reset.
then it should go back to normal.
