Only 9mb free Storage main memory. I CAN'T INSTALL LARGE PRG

ActiveSync first (or a .cab for that matter) first copies the files to the MAIN MEMORY STORAGE temp directory and only then, you are asked when would you like the program to be installed.
Since I have just about 9mb of free storage ram on my main memory, I am unable to install 20mb of so programs even if I want to install them on my SD card. Because the WM2005 installed always first copies to a temp dir on the main memory. that's stupid. How can I install large programs to my SD card if I don't have much room on my main memory then?
Help please.
Thanks

look for the cab file first, manually copy it directly to your SD card and run it from that location using explorer.
try reducing your temporary RAM by disabling all of your today plugins and windows startup folder, run your program, then set them back again.
how is it you are running on 9mb, i reset my device when it gets down to 15mb, and usually starts up with 25mb with SPB PP SPB Diary SPB weather and MS Voice Command all running at startup, so how is yours so low?

ACtivesync copy the cab file to SD if your memory is low. I installed many big (20 Mb) programs using it. The normal behaviour is to copy the file without question, then ask on the pocket where you want to install it. When you are low on memory, it ask me on the PC (as it was on previous WM2003 models) where to install, then it copies the file to SD. It usually fail to install, but you can then soft reset and run the cab from the SD.

Any apps to force *.cab file install to storage card?

well you can try to edit the cabs you need with WinCE Cab Manager for hardcode the paths to point in the storage card but some applications are needed to be in or to have parts of them in Windows folder or to run from the device, so this will not work in all applications

so wince doesn't support installing apps in the storage card?
storage gonna be a problem, unlike in smartphone it asks where to install it.
is it possible to save contacts and email,sms, mms messages directly to the storage card? i remember smartphones have a reg hack for that.
thanks.

it asks depending on the cab, most of the cabs i create i adjusted them not to ask where to install if they can not be installed on the storage card. but other cabs ask if you want to install on the device or the storage card

I have this issue with a couple of games 'Hawx' and 'Xtrakt' no matter what I do even selecting the option to install on storage card they install in the Phone Program files.. They both use nerly 15MB of space which is a big chunk of the 200MB available.

in other words: you are in the wrong section

I have 50MB left of the phone storage so 15MB is a lot, I don't see why the game can't be installed on the memory card.
Is there any app that will list where all the space is being used up, I do agree 200MD is quite a bit, but I have cleared out all temp files I can think of..

I guess you did not get my comment... the BA does not have 200 MB of storage, no matter what you do. MemMaid or SKTools might be ale to give you the info that you are looking for.

how to get more device space

ok I just got my diamond, and I had 43MB of free space, after installing xmods HD, and S2A, I only have 3 mb left, what can I uninstall to get more space???
I need like 6 more megs to install sprint picture mail cab and S2U2

1. kill your operator rom and update your rom with an optimized one (use the search!)
2. install software on storage card

try to use third part software, e.g. SKTools. Then use it for optimizing registry, clean orphan files and shortcuts, temporary files from Opera and others.
Try to store e-mail attachments at Internal Storage, short messages (SMS) as well.
Try to delete unnecessary files from main memory in My Documents folder. If you want to store some own music or ringtones - use My documents at Internal Storage.
BTW - don't try to delete files if you are not sure what it exactly is!!!

With SKTools you can move installed apps, like Google Maps (12mb), to the "Internal Storage".

I install some aplications in internal memory, but i find out that my device memory is reduced.. Why? Can i do anything for this? The reason for installing a game in internal is because i dont have much memory in device. But device memory is also reduced .. I cant understand it..
Ι made a mistake in the above , i install in internal storage , not internal memory that i wrote , but device memory is also reduced..

What does it mean?
If you install some apps in internal memory it would be "steal" exactly some internal memory.
But why can;t you install it into Internal Storage? Do you mean you have less than 4 GB Internal Storage? or you have a lot of stuff there?
There is no way to put files somewhere else: Internal Storage or Main memory...
I've just read my data: Program Memory: 38.45 MB free, Data storage 83.7 MB free (22.85 MB busy)....
I put to main memory only three or four apps (touchLock pro, Gscroll, and ... I don't remember)....
Other apps -> Internal Storage.

I know what takes so much memory. Extracted themes to TF3D. You know where I find every old unpacked themes?
I had a lot of them and each time after the installation of another theme in the place of my missing memory. I thought that these files are exchanged, but apparently it is not.

How full is the phone memory? Details...
Did you download something? Downloaded files usually goes to the root of the main memory.

search moving cache on here, that takes up a big chunk of memory...

how , pls tell me

I've got the same problem with my son's phone it keeps on coming up with the message "your phone is running low on free storage space. delete old or unused items to create more space" when I look in file explorer/ windows/youtube its full of old files but will take for ever to delete them indavidualy does anyone know how to remove these old files as I can't access them when the phone is conected up to the pc, plus is it possible to change the cache so these files are saved to the memory card instead.
Please help as my son is driving me around the bend asking me to fix it !!!!!

Hard reset the phone to clear the storage.
Also check you don't have something like voice recorder activating in your pocket or something creating large files of nonsense filling the memory.

I've managed to delete all the old you tube files 525 of them but storage memory is still full
total 180.98mb
in use 177.89mb
free 3.09mb
so now I don't know whats using allthe memory

youcan access them from your computer so long as you allow hidden and system files.(in win 7 open the phones windows folder, click alt, tools, folder options, then I think its the second tab, un tick hide protected files and the hidden files one, apply and they should appear.you MAY need to apply to all folders)
or, use resco explorer on your hd2, much than the built in one and will also allow you to choose to un hide system and hidden files.
as for multi select...in resco is a menu option for multi select.

Going to do a hard reset but can't keep on doing that every time it fills up it's only been 2 weeks since it was last reset.

youtube Application indicates "Storage Full"

Anybody encounter this issue?
I checked the internal and external memory card, both still have more than 40% of free space.

anybody can help me?

Your phone memory is prob really low, maybe under 9mg or something like that
You might need to unistall some programs from the phone and on to your memory card instead

yes, it happens when your internal memory is less. uninstall some files on the internal memory. it happened with me after i installed lot of gameloft games...they install on device.

maybe you can try installing youtube on your storage card. the cab can be found in m.youtube.com/app

I get this alot too, go to file manager, windows, youtube, menu, edit, select all, back to menu, delete. And also go to Opera, and clear the cache

delete cache files in applications/album and google maps cache..also install the new gmaps 4.x version on the sd card and uninstall the older version on the internal memory..........it helped me and now i have 50 MB free space
