Apologies if its a repeat post but I've been searching and could not find an answer.
How can I increase the memory on my XDA Pro. The memory remaining is showing 0.27 MB and it is constantly coming up with a "Storage Memory is Critically Low" message.
I store most of my work on the SD Card anyway. I've tried looking for large files to delete from the Pro but cant find anything.
Please help.
Thanks a lot everyone.
It sounds to me as if you have used up your storeage memory with applications. Assess your usage priority and move the programs that you don't use a lot of to your memory card.
How would I do that?
Is it just a case of copy and paste?
Also using something like Clear Temp (freeware) http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1489 will clear away all of those pesky temp files that take up all of your space.
You'll probably find you regain lots of space by doing this.
Search the forum for UPX - you can comress your apps to free up space and many of them will run faster too

For moving programs, no. The best thing would be to uninstall from main memory and reinstall on a storage card. If there's any data related to an app, you'd want to back that up first so you don't lose it. I have a 4GB card in my Universal and have most of my third party apps installed on it to save the device memory. I just leave it in all the time.
Thank you all.
I finally managed to find out that I had over 10 MB in the temporary internet files, deleted all those and everything seems fine.
Also, managed to find out a lot of useful stuff as mentioned by you all in the above post.
Thank you all once again.
This is all great advice, but how do you tell which apps or data are located in Main memory? Is there some way to tell?

Ugh! I bought a 4gb storage card. Every application I download, I save to this card yet. I'm down to 3MB of system storage memory. What can I do about this? I'm sick of clearing my storage once a month to be able to use this phone without the memory error popping up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there somethin I can do in my registry? I already have my emails and internet temporary files going to my storage card. What else can I do?

1. Try another ROM-Are you still using the original rom it came with?
2. Make sure all you apps are closed - They usually just hide out open in the background.
3. Oxios Hibernate - I'm sure you can find a copy around here someplace. [Here ya go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374029]
4. Could be a memory leak. Certain programs have this effect on WM devices. {See 1.}
Also, remember that text messages take up room too. If you visit alot of websites, be sure to clear that also. I just cleared those 2 myself and I got like 5-6 MB free from just that.
clear temp storage even if it is on your card, it couldn't hurt. also delete keyboards that you installed unless you actually use them a lot because they take up a lot of room. move your ring tones to the SD card as they will still show up. update to the newest official ROM if you don't want to go to a custom, you'll get more memory with the new ROM but not much.

That is very untrue. I rarely run out of memory with Just2Clean.
how is that untrue? i'm on the new stock rom and there is more available memory for storage and program than the stock rom i was on previously.

Sorry I misread your post but I thought you meant a new ROM in general not the Latest T-Mobile Update. Which is still way under performing compared to what the cooks generate here.
oh yeah, i had open tough 5.2 for like a day and it had so much more room after all my stuff was installed, it was insane, but it had some problems that i couldn't deal with so i went back to stock.
What sorta probs?
I found that most of/all the default apps on the Wing are total crap. I use very few applications. I just get my email, browse with opera mini, play solitaire, and listen to mp3's. Any more than that I expect the device to have issues to a degree. It only has a 201mhz processor it can't be expected to do much more.
it would scroll through lists randomly which was pretty annoying. you can't use jivetalk (now beejiveIM) on it. and there were issues with the original dialpad such as being damn ugly, fixed it with a skin but then it does it's scrolling thing when i'm trying to dial a number and then won't let me hit anymore numbers and i have to go out of the dialpad and go back in.

slow down, take a breath....
what rom are you running ???
try installing the cab file for moving IE storage to Storage Card.
on your messages settings save all attatchments to storage card.
there is a solution but you have to let us know whats going on!!!!
robpet2, i happened to stumble on the cab link you have, 'plenty of cabs'. Is there a way to get a quick explaination of some of theme? or possible screen shots? thanks

haha... thats a good one.. cant do screenshots for all of them, just type in the name of the cab file in google with .cab at the end and do a search, they should all come up with descriptions.
I don't know what ROM I'm runnin. I don't even know what a ROM is. I look around these forums but no one explains, they just say use xyz cab. *shrugs* I'm totally lost
a rom is essentially the operating system that you use on your phone.
If you don't know what rom you're using, you're probably using the T-Mobile stock rom. We highly recommend flashing a custom rom from that POS.
To do that, you will need to use USPL or you will need to HardSPL your phone. Bear in mind that T-Mobile won't help you if they find a custom rom on your phone, but you can just flash back to the original before sending it in.
Read the USPL and HardSPL threads before taking any action
Thanx, Fzzym. You've given me somewhere to begin

and on your storage memory issue...delete your old mail and text/picture messages then empty your email and text and mms deleted items. also google maps installs and stores its cache in storage memory even if you tell it to install on your card. those are the 2 biggest apps that eat away at my storage memory, although with the open touch 4 lite rom, i usually have 21mb free.

It seems to me that you are experiencing the memory issues that every new T-Mobile Wing is faced with. It has to do with the default Page Pool size.
The easiest way around this problem is to do an upgrade of the new T-mobile software. You can find this at:
http://member.htc.com/RuuDownload/T-mobileUS/Filedownload.aspx?pid=wing
or you can change the pagepool size manually following the instructions at:

Good Luck
so does it matter where you install programs.
will it run faster in memory or will speed be the same.
or
will having more free memory on the phone make the programs run faster.
They will run faster off the phone memory... but in saying that, I have most of my applications installed on my micro sd card and I haven't noticed any issues.
Apparently there is a program that will speed up your memory card read/write speeds, but I'm yet to test it.
OMG, I install all except games into phone memory.. because I hope I still can use 'em even without memory card

I figure the memory card is too hard to get out, so I just have one big card with everything on it.
No matter what i do and even if i choose the memory card, the game installs itself into main memory..
How do i move it to the memory card????
Oh yeah, so annoying. That's why i don't get any gameloft games. They make good games but you have to be really dumb to allow installation only on the main memory, and their games are not small!!!
I have a couple Gameloft games on my storage card, but the may have come from "alternate" sources. Anyhow, if these "alternate" sources made it happen, there must be a way.
The way is to patch the installer.dll and the hardcoded references in the apps themselves. Screw those mamafuckers for not allowin' ppl to put the crap on storage cards.
this sucks! I also found this out, I was wondering what was causing my main memory to reduce, found out that eventhough you chose storage card it still installs to the main memory. I'm wondering, can you use a program such as SKTools to move the application to the storage card? Has anyone tried this? If not, I'll give it a try and report back....
Hi. I also wanted to try that with SK-Tools, but for some reason I cannot find the option within the program anymore. If you try, then let us know if it works, and how to do that with SK-Tools. THX!
I also can't find the option, I followed the instructions in SKTools, move application, installed programs ---> action, you don't get the option to move application. Maybe Gameloft has incoded something that doesn't allow the program to be moved. I give up! If anyone knows how to move it, then I'm all ears!
still no answer..anyone???
I've not done it myself but I believe pocket mechanic can move them.
No,.. pocket mechanic neither sktools are able to move them to storage card. This realy s*cks..
I've just tested it and moved two programs using pocket mechanic, although not from the marketplace.
main memory is getting low
are there any news?
My HTC HD2 gets low main memory.
I have installed 2 Gameloft Games - they are big
Where can I find a modifyed installer for the gameloft games allowing storagecard installation
GreeT`s
Good news! With 1.66 I'm now able for some reason to move Games from internal memory to SD using SK-Tools!! With 1.48 the entry in SK-Tools has been grew and not clickable - now it works!
They do this simply because it's the most efficient and stable way to install anything!

Not really a fair comparison. My external hard disk isn't always plugged into my PC as I use it on both my Xbox 360 and Wii. However, my memory card is never removed from my HD2.

What apps are you talking about. most memory space goes to pics and music, which can be stored on the card. And you can install extract programs on your card instead of you internal memory.
fmadr
but that using up my memory i save everthing to my memory card but main memory still be draining it self dont know why
SD cards are only ever storage memory. The card behaves like a disk drive, that appears to be connected to the mount point '\Storage Card', or whatever your machine is configured to call it, there is a registry hack to change it if you want.
Storage space must be read into main memory, before the CPU can get at it. Access time is pretty quick, but nowhere near main memory speeds.
It's there for storing stuff as its name implies. Apps, data, movies, music, etc etc. It's not much use for anything else.
It sounds like you're confusing program and storage memory. If you're getting program memory errors, then you need to get a task manager and get better control of running applications/processes, or get a task manager that closes applications instead of minimizing them with the 'x' button.
If you are having storage memory issues, then you need to check for log files that might be hogging all the storage memory. Or get a utility like ClearTemp to empty out temporary folders. If you do a lot of streaming, sometimes you can get large stream dumps that aren't properly deleted and that hog a lot of memory.

You have probably some large log files, created by ActiveSync or some other program. Use SKTools or something similar to find it, clean Your main memory and disable the logging once You know where it comes from. That way it doesn't fill up Your main memory.

thanks using sktools way better in so good. oh and there any developers out there
SD-Card Driver 4 Read Speed
Hello all,
While mentioning SK-Tools ;
Not so long ago I stumbled over this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2915068&postcount=1
So use SK-Tools its benchmarking capabilities to test your SD-Card before(!) and after the 'driver' (tnyynt SD TuneUP) mentioned above is installed!!!
It's kinda technical and a lot of 'know how' is discussed, but the main thing = tnyynt SD TuneUP, I assure you, will boost your SD-Card READiNG-PERFORMANCE!!!
Ofcourse, making a backup in advance could make a difference for everyone installing this,
Senax
P.S. I did not make a backup in advance!
How many sms & email do you have, both of these save to the main memory, a few hundred+ will soon fill it up. Internet Explorer cache is the other one to check. These are the 2 biggest memory users.
Can you cook? If so Extendir endir may help in achieving more free Main Memory space...
Hope this helps.
they should make you be able to use you memory card as your main memory or least fix instead of worrying about the windowsmobile7series that not coming out in the end of this year.
