hello everybody! my question is y does the default camera say i have low memory when i have a 2gig mem card n my camera is set to save in the memory card not device memory if somebody could answer my question id greatly appricate it!
Try something like memmaid to find out what's using your memory.
Remember, install all programs to Storage Card - not just the camera files.
Your Storage - ie internal memory, should only be used for absolute essentials to keep your phone perky.

I think you'll find it means "Program Memory" (RAM) not "Storage Memory"
You should either close some programs down (goto Settings/system/memory/running programs) or SOFT reset your device with a single press of the button on the side (This will NOT format your device)
Memaid should help you. Click the icon with the PIE Graph, to see what's using your 2 gigs.
Or maybe you card is corrupted, try a format your card if you can't find the problem.

Hi all!
I'm Markino from Italy and I've got some question about I-Mate Jam.
I don't undertand the memory management of this device: how the RAM-ROM and MMC are used by the Windows Mobile 2003 SE? If I install an application, where the files are stored? If the battery drops down what I'll lose?
Many thanks and sorry for my bad English!

Marco, in theory you should let Windows to manage your memory. The i-mate JAM has 64MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM. The ROM is mostly occupied with OS and other 3rd party software that installs automatically when you hard reset the phone. Part of this ROM is also used when using the "Permanent Storage" feature of the OS, where it lets you save some files, contacts, etc.
What should really interest you is the RAM. The OS uses this RAM for running programs (like the RAM on your PC) and the rest is used for storage. If you go to Start -> Settings -> Memory, the OS will tell you how much of your RAM is being used for Running Programs and how much is used for Storage.
The safest place for your data would be an SD Card, as anything stored on the SD card will stay in tact after a hard reset.
Thanks kta! You're great!
Well.. in your opinion what is the best way to use the Jam's RAM with a 512MB SD installed?
I can configure the device to use all the RAM space to run program and store all the file and app. in the SD or it's better to use a part of RAM to some particoular application?
The SD Ultra II are really faster in the Jam?
The more free RAM you have the faster your mobile works. I would suggest installing most of your programs on the storage card. Before installing a program make sure that it can run smoothly on an SD card. Most programs do work well when installed on the storage card so it shouldn never be a problem.
Having said that, RAM is MUCH faster than an SD card, although modern SD cards like the UltraII give over 9MB per second (66x) write speed.
A more complex option (the one I'm using) is to install a hacked ROM (aka Big Storage ROM) where you will be able to gain an extra 27MB of Storage (i.e. in RAM). You can then use this storage space for installing programs and these should work slightly faster than when installed on an SD card. However, installing the hacked ROM requires some experience with ROMS and would not suggest you go for it unless you want to end up with your JAM stuck in bootloader mode :wink:
With regards to SD cards, the faster the speed (i.e. 40x, 66x, 133x) the better.
And if you intend to use your JAM as an MP3 player I would suggest going for a 1GB or 2GB SD card. The price difference usually justifies the extra space! Before buying a 2GB card, check these forums for compatibility issues as some of them did not work on the JAM.
Hope I didn't confuse you more!
SD card speed on the JAM makes no difference for operating the device, since the JAM can only read/write the SD card at the standard speed - buying a faster card makes no difference.
A faster card is useful if you frequently copy large files between your SD card and your PC, but for the JAM it makes no difference.
Hi there,
I've just become what I thought was a proud owner of an Orange M600. Their May catalogue says it has 128 Mb internal memory, the website says 64Mb. When I check the memory tab, the storage total is 42.55Mb (I've used 38.53), Program total 44.01Mb (used 28.35)
I was going to replace my O2 XDA 2S (Blue Angel) which comes with 128Mb.
Having installed about 4 out of my 7 must-have programs, i'm getting sync errors for out of space. It's a gorgeous phone, but is there ANY way of getting/unlocking more on-board memory, else I guess I'll be returning it.
What have other users done to combat low memory, is it just to install everything on the SD-Card...?
Please help/advise.....
TIA
You need to think of your M600 in PC terms - that is you have a hard disk (storage) and you have RAM (program memory). The storage is just that, for storing programs and data. Program memory is where your programs run and the more memory you have the more programs you can run simultaneously.
You will most likely want to get a storage card and install your applications here thus freeing up some internal storage space. An SD card works just like your storage space, so if you felt like it you could buy a 4GB sd card and have huge amounts of storage space. So far all my applications have installed and run fine from the SD card with the exception of AvantGo, which seems to want to remain in main storage. But generally just install on the SD card.
As for memory, mine is often less than 10MB free, but Windows will close programs automatically to free up additional memory as and when needed. My advice would be to not become obsessed with the memory and just let WM5 do its job, alternatively there are a number of task managers that let you actually close programs and free up memory rather than just minimising them, however, so far for me WM5 is doing a good enough job...
Digger is right. I install everything on Storage Card except the PocketZenPhone today plug-in.
Everything works just fine.
Storage cards are getting cheaper all the time. 8)

Thanks for your advice. I think you've convinced me to keep the phone. I guess pretty much all other pda phones are on the market at the mo with 64Mb memory, and i do like the sleek look of the M600.
Advice much appreciated...

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 !
Hi,
Previously i had a HP 6365.
and one could very easily choose if we wanted to increase the storage or program memory but moving a simple bar.
this is not present in 8525.
although it has 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM.
total storage shown is 44.77MB
and total program memory shown is 48.77MB (where is the rest??)
is there a way to adjust this??
because i have only 3.2MB of storage available and 19.5MB or program memory available, although i always store programs on the microSD.
pls. shed some light,
Thanku for reading and answering.
Regards.
That program memory is your Ram... If you could cut that down your Hermes would run A LOT slower... Use total commander or, if you have it, resco explorer to see whats in your program directory on the phone itself... Backup 1st, then cut and paste to the sd card and remake the shortcuts in the windows directory.. Please remember though that some programs NEED to be on the Hermes.
Also check in the My Documents directory. You should store as much on the sd card as possible but the default storage location is on the Hermes...
Moving as much off the device memory will give you more storage space, but remember, it is limited...
Cheers...
wow..
thats an excellent suggestion.
iam working on that advice.
also wanted to ask u one more thing.
my 8525 has 64MB RAM
then why is it that it only shows 48MB total under programs??
what i mean is shouldnt it be showing 64MB total available???
thanku very much for answering
No, because the OS is using some. Also the extra programs that were installed with the os use Ram too.
Cheers...
Hi all
I've an HTC HD2 with a 16 Gb memory card included. I have 8Gb of free space in my storage card but when I switch on the camera it gives me the possibility to take ONLY 164 photos. If i switch the storage option to the Internal storage tha number changes in 153. With the same free space, in my Omnia HD (8 Mpixel) the number was greater and I think it should be this way. What's wrong?
Thank you for your replyes
Not sure whats going on there as I have a 16Gb card with about the same free space and mine says 7442...
does the card have a 16gb partition on it? maybe all of the space hasnt been used? is it fat32 partition? etc etc.
Hi...yes it has a 16Gb partition and it's FAT32. I'll try to format again both from my PC and PPC and let's see what happens.
Whats the phone stating the available space is on the card from the settings page?
The phone gives me 8Gb as free disk space. Now I'm backing up all my memory and then I'll format with windows 7. Maybe this will solve. Is better formatting from the PC or the PPC? I think it's the same but I want to be sure
thanks
No way...I formatted from both PPC an PC but no results. I tried to start the camera with tha card empty and it says 4074. It seems like the phone manages only half of the SD. I looked with resco Explorer, windows mobile Explorer and the option of WM6.5 and all of them show me 15.8 Gb of free disk space. I don't know what to do. I need some help ...
Thanks
What camera settings have you got set? Defaults from factory?
Have you been tweaking reg settings?
I have all the default settings except for a registry setting for finest resolution at 5 Mpixel (similar to 8 Mpixel) taken from a post here in xda. Even supposing in a 8 Mpixel resolution 164 photos in 8 Gb of disk space is not the correct number.
Hi guys. I solved the problem installing the HTC Patch released today. Now my available photos are 11600!!!!!!!.
