I would like to know how I can get IE to save all data to my storage card instead of the internal memory. I keep running out of memory, especially when running IE.
Also I'd like any general tips on how to save internal memory. I find that I'm running out too often. Is there unneeded files that can be deleted? Are there other tricks to fix this?
The IE cache folder is specified in the registry. Have a look at the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
There is a String value here called Cache, with a default of "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files".
Create a folder on the storage card, e.g. "iecache", and change the value of Cache to "\Storage Card\iecache". This folder will the be used for the IE cache.
Thanks, that will help a lot! Does anyone know any other methods for saving memory on the devices internal memory? My device is always saying I'm low and I wonder if this may decrease the speed of operations also.
In the same line of concern where should I modify the registery to have Calls Note to be save to the storage card ?
Also when you synchronise with Active Sync, notes that are in your Microsoft Outlook how can I tell him to sync those notes on the storage card in a particular folder ?
Thank you

I recently got a notice saying my device storage was critically low. I had no photos, word files or videos etc on the main device. Thinking the memory was being used by 'windows', I transferred my "windows" folder to my 2GB storage card.
Now I cant access any windows programs!!
Is there any way that I can retrieve this windows folder? And find out what is using up all my storage? Pls help!!!
1. hard reset.
2. probably temprary internet files or posts eat your space. Use memaid, to twerk registry (move all internet files to storage card)
2.a. mail attachments. - delete all unnessesery.
Hi all.
Can someone help me out...
I've tried to do this hack refered on the Tynt Wiki:
PocketIE Cache in storage card
Create these folders:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History
Add the following registry keys, string data type:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies"
"History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"
But i don't see any results. I've made the hack in reg, soft reset, but nothing.
Can someone help me out? Is there another way to do it?
Thx
I'm having the same problem.
With my Wizard changing the registry works, i.e. the storage card can be used for the cache files, but not so with the Trinity; so I would also like to know if anybody has figured out a solution for this?

Well seriously, it's not a matter of the registry update not being flushed; it simply doesn't work.
Try sktools and change history/cookies/cache folders. I've got them in storage card.
I tried sktools today, but when I ran it, in the settings for Cache, Cookies and History it showed me the settings that I had already created myself in the registry, so no luck here.
@sAnTeE, a question if you don't mind:
Did you ever verify for sure that the directories on your storage card are really being used as the actual storage for the files that are cached?
What I see is that if I delete the directories from the storage card, then they are created again the next time I start IE. So there is no doubt that IE is picking up the reg. settings that I made.
BUT when I look in the directories, they are empty, except for the Cache one, where there is a dir. named Content.IE5, which again contains 4 dirs with seemingly random names like 'A7QZKP01' etc.
These subdirs are where the cached files should be stored, but they are all empty!
Another thing I noticed just recently when I was fiddling with this, is that the actual dirs that are used for caching are in \Windows.
There are 3 dirs in \Windows: 'Temporary Internet Files', 'History' and 'Cookies', and these are the ones that are actually being used, not the ones that are in \Windows\Profiles\guest, which are the normal defaults.
Think I might have found the answer, or at least an answer for my own issues with this.
I have been using a FAT32 formatted 4GB card from Moby Memory, but just for the experiment I put in a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card, deleted 'Temporary Internet Files', 'History' and 'Cookies' from \Windows, started IE and voila, the directories on the card was used for caching.
Put back the 4GB card, started IE and now the dirs in \Windows were created again and used for caching.
So apparently IE won't or can't use the 4GB card for caching.
can someone direct me on how to free up memory on my Hermes?
My device memory is very low, I already cleared my cookies and history in Internet explorer settings.
The memory got used up when I received almost 30 e-mails to my device. Where is the e-mails files stored?
tnx in advance
cliffy101
Not 100% sure but try the My Documents folder in phone storage.
You can set the Hermes to store attachements on the sd card for emails/mms.
If you can't find where the emails are stored but want to keep them then save them as .txt files on the sd card.
Try to install all 3rd party apps on the Memory card, you can transfer any apps you already have installed by cutting them out of the My Programs folder on the device and pasting them to a My Programs folder on the sd, you just need to send a shortcut to the windows startmenu programs folder. Use Total Commander (free) or Resco Explorer if you have it.
Cheers...
tnx
tnx, I 've got all programs on sd card already, only thing is I cannot figure out where e-mail files are stored or how to set it so attachments are stored on sdcard.
tnx for advice so far ...
Go to messaging>Menu>options>Storage. It should have a box that can be checked saying "When available use storage card to store attachments". Tick it if unticked.
Cheers...
Hi need some help.
1. what is the defrence betwen program memory and storage memory.
i got on my jade 56% program memory and 91% storage memory.on the storage card i'm ok.
2. where can i see what files are in the storage memory as 91% is very high i dont understand whay it went up to 91% last a i saw it was around 60%.
most of my programes are in the storage card.
thanks in advance.
Storage Memory - The amount of memory allocated to data storage (pictures, notes, docs, music, .tmp etc)
Program memory - The amount of memory allocated to program storage.
Some programs load and build up hugh files in storage memory as time goes on, e.g. you tube. Do a clean up once in a while.
You can use file explorer (or TC or Resco) to see the files.
thank you azahidi
i have resco explorer but where can i fined under which folder/s i find files that i do not need. is there some application to do a clean up. any idea will help.
thanks again

One very good apps is Memory Maid (purchasable from i/net). You can also use some freeware apps e.g. ClenRAM and some others.

Resco should be able sort out the file size descending/ascending. Then it's up to your own judgement (need a bit of file mgmt experience). Anything that's outside \windows or \program folders are deletable if/when not required. Avoid meddling with files in \windows (if you're not familiar). even though some can be deleted (e.g some .wav files). Just to be save before deleting (if needed) copy the files to your SD Card in case you wrongly delete.
There's this file in my windows folder which is a massive 16MB, called "mxip_initdb" anyone know what it is?
Hi, I recently tried to flash my Verizon GS4 with the latest update but I failed so, anyway, I did back up most of my data but there were a few things like pictures that were in my internal memory that I didn't save. For example, my Whatsapp folder and my saved photos from Facebook automatically save to my internal memory. I looked to change the settings to direct where I want to save the images/documents but I did not see any option in those apps.
I was wondering:
Can I change the automatic download drive/folder so that everything goes to external memory?
and/or, can my external memory automatically copy everything from my internal memory that is downloaded synchronously?
