Vario's memory allocations - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I just checked how much memory my Vario (flashed wit the new imate rom) has left and I was shocked to see
Storage
Total 47.46MB
In Use 39.39MB
Free: 8.07MB
Program
Total 44.01MB
In use: 31.59MB
Free: 12.42MB
Anyone know what folders are used for Storage and what folders are used for Program
the root of my vario contains the following folders
Application Data
ConnMgr
Documents and Settings
My Documents
Program Files
Storage Card
Temp
TomTom
Windows

ive got a bit of a problem relating to this. last night i had around 12mb storage memory free, and about 15mb program memory.
this morning i have 800kb storage and 25mb program memory free?!?
ive not installed/run anything between this time, and its making my phone run very slow.
is there anyway to change the storage/program memory allocation? it seems something very odd has happened, ive deleted and switched over stuff to my storage card, and allowed my email attachements to be saved in on the card too (just to get the phone working at the usual speed) so im 5mb/23mb now.
what can i do? im sure when i had a 2003se phone that there was a slider to change the % in the memory menu?

Memory Problem I think

I just bought an I Mate Jam from Expansys, fantastic piece of kit, far superior IMO than my XDAIIs, but i have just noticed that my built in storage shows as only being 7.6MB in total, now i only have 2 resco apps installed into storage but i am only left with 4MB free, and also when i do a properties on the total device it says 28.63MB total storage, used 16.53, Free space 12.10MB
Now i thought I was buying a 64MB Ram / 64MB Rom machine, is this right or do i have a duff one?
I thought it might be something to do with all the operator stuff it must be storing somewhere as it gave me the option of installing all the stuff from any network provider until i chose O2 and it installed all the O2 stuff, where is all the Orange, Vodaphone etc.. stuff gone?
Can enyone shed some light on this for me?

No problem. You have a device which is 64MB ROM and 64MB RAM.
If you look under Start/Settings/Memory,
"Main" is your RAM. It's 64MB dynamically shared between stored programs and runnign programs. The more programs you load to Main memory, the less you will have for running them (making the machine slower). You can give priority either way by moving the slider, but it's usually best to let Windows decide by leaving it in the middle. All data in this memory will be lost if you Hard Reset or your batteries go flat.
"Storage Card" is your SD card. Capacity depends on the size of your card.
"Storage", , under the "Storage Card" tab, is your non volatile flash memory. This is what's left spare in the 64MB ROM which isn't used by Windows Mobile. You use it to keep valuable data or applications, as it will survive a hard reset or your batteries going flat. You can set your Outlook Contcats/Appointments/Tasks and Connection settings to automatically save in this area via the Start/Settings/Permanent Save icon. You have 7.6MB to use.

Storage Card or Internal Memory?

Hi folks,
Just a quick one for you... I am about to download Spb Pocket Plus, Am I best off downloading it to the internal memory or my storage card (1gb)? Or doesn't it make a difference?
Thanks.
Matt.
Personally I have installed all my programs to my storage card, they dont take up too much space really. Just means that I always have fiull memory on my phone so it doesnt start to slow down, or atleast thats my theory!
some programs though by default can't be installed in the storage card, and i think spb pocket+ is one of them... not sure though
Even if you install SBP plus to your storage card, the today plugin dll is stored in your local memory, usually in the windows directory.
You can see this if you have memmaid and want to free up memory by relocating today plugins to the storage card - it's surprising how many megabytes of dll's are stored in local memory even if you choose the storage card !

Storage memory question on Vario

My Vario currently has
Storage
Total=47.46MB
In Use=37.83
Free 9.64
now I used Resco Explorer and found that My Documents folder is only 1.21MB in size, so what is the other 36MB being used for?
Even after i have stopped all running programs
Am I right in saying any programs i install to memory uses the Program memory?
I have 24MB Program memory free
I checked the size of the Windows folder and it is 75.16MB so is this the reason for having hardly any Storage memory left?
bumping this, please if anyone knows

Storage memory completely used, HOW ?!

I have a 8525 running on wm5. It says my storage memory (49.45 mb) is completely full. I think it could be all my text messages and appointments I have in my phone. Is there anyway I could save these onto my storage card or move it there as an archive?
Yea, edit the registry or get a program like SKtools to do it for you. Or the HTCtweaks might have this.

More memory for Storage...!

Hello All.
I installed on my Qtek 9090 a ROM WM6 in Spanish, everything works fine but when I see how little storage space is left and plenty of room for programs that I use, I wonder:
How can free up space or distribute the available space for storage and programs.
This is data:
Memory storage:
Total space 60.30MB, In Use 52.55MB, Free 7.5MB
Memory Program:
Total space 109.12MB, In Use 37.45MB, Free 71.67MB
What I want is to have more memory for storage, as I do this?
Or able to balance the memory as is done in WM2003.
Forgive but do not like taking a picture of the device.
Unistall programs that dont need speeds and install on Storage card, that way yu can save lots of memory space.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's not that easy. Every program I can install in the storage card, I try to do. I also changed my email and attachments to the storage card. Prior to syncing my email, I had 18MB and the PIM file was 11MB. 3/4 of the way through, I have 8MB left and the PIM file is 12MB.
After looking in every directory, I can't seem to find why 10MB of space was used. Further, you can't relocate the PIM file.
In WM2003, you can adjust the program and storage memory. You can't in WM6.
Try this...
Go see the second post here for what I do to keep the storage running with 12MB free and still install mad amounts of software!
Best advice is to read the bit about Pocket Mechanic - it'll help move most (not all) software to the card for you - changing all the reg entries and links for you!
And if it's speed you're after, try Pocket Hack Master from the same company!
But DO remember to backup with something like Spb Clone BEFORE you paly with these tools! Saves any embarrassment later

i think you may need ramdisk
