Hello,
At my MDA Vario (Wizard) after Hard Reset have only 27,5MB free RAM!
With some programs installed, after a soft reset (RAM clean) have about 25MB of free RAM.
This is normal???
I expected more RAM, because this PDA have 64MB RAM to "run" programs! Whre is my RAM???
This turn PDA slow after open 2/3 programs!
How improve this?
Thanks

Sound similar to mine....when I reset the Wizard I get a few minutes where I only have about 9MB of free RAM (Program Memory) but that settles down after a while and I normally have about 26MB free (using Pocket Plus to close down applications when I hit the close button).
I am suffering from some memory leaks, after a soft reset I have abvout 25 MB free, after a while this drops to about 16 MB, and I have no idea where it goes.
@ arp: a lot of your RAM is consumed by running Wm5 and your apps in Ext ROM
Think, you have a lot of useless progs in Ext. Rom.
I have 47Mb free...
How did u do THAT??? I have only 44MB program memory AT ALL... ???
Yeah, with 47 MB user available to start with, how did you manage to get all the RAM free of any software?
I've fully cleaned extended RAM, didn't find there any good app. for my taste )).
ROM - Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship
i wonder what is extended RAM???
Even if you clean extended rom, you won't have all the memory available for yourself... could you post a screenshot?
sorry ... extended ROM
RAM
Strange!!!
I deleted my extended_ROM too (but has only 2,5MB too!) and made a Hard Reset to my MDA Vario, and have only 27,5MB free like I said!
More strange... Total program memory (RAM) is only 44,08MB! How you have 47MB free???
I think you are wrong... see...
Regards
I have 47,46Mb free, and now - 44,25Mb after setting up customization (LEng) and couple progs..
Could you *please* tell us exactly what u r doing, and post a screenshot if possible (the settings-memory-page). Only cleaning the ext.rom doesn't do the job for sure.
Only telling your numbers doesn't help anybody here...
Are you sure that you don't confuse RAM and ROM? But even on ROM, I don't think you could have so much free space...
I didn't do something special...
I have no idea how to make a screenshot .
My settings-memory-page:
...............Storage........Program
Total.........47,46Mb....... 49,97Mb
In Use.......3,21Mb..........16,84Mb
Free..........44,25Mb.........33,13Mb
I think yes, it was my RAM-ROM mistake... sorry.
no problem
However, I have only 44.08MB ov RAM available, no big, but it IS a difference. And for the ROM I also had never only 3MB used... (I have to admit that I never did an hardreset, because I had the opinion that o2 doesn't install so many things from ext.rom)
More RAM please...
Hello Button,
This is mime:
Storage Program
Total: 47,46 44,08
In use: 21,55 20,25
Free: 25,92 23,83
I have installed: SPB Pocket plus, PhoneAlarm, TomTom5, Sunnysoft backup, Resco Explorer, PhatPad andWiFiFofum.
Did you upgrade your ROM from this file?
ROM - Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship
(think is in xda - FTP, right?)
What programs do you have installed?
Regards
arp:
Yes, this prodigy rom.
I have installed:
Paragon LEng, Paragon CharMap, MDS Customization.
After SR nothing has changed...
Button
BTW, what is this ROM (OS) version? From file I can't see well... and I don't know if is newer or not.
Mine is (at boot):
ipl: 1.03
spl: 1.03
gsm: 1.4.10.0
os: 1.3.2.2
What was your original ROM? (Qtek, O2, T-Mobile, i-Mate...?)
Why you upgrade it?
Yout Total ROM is same, but RAM 44MB (mine) to 50MB (your) is more 6MB of RAM... I think I will change my ROM...
How do you made that? Only rum these .exe file?
Regards
arp
I don't remember my original rom ver., I didn't backup it, it was first Qtek UK revision. Now I have (from file you know ):
ipl: 1.01
spl: 1.01
gsm: 1.1.10.0
os: 1.1.7.5
I have really changed nothing. Just erase all progs from ext. rom.
Moreover, I've tried different roms, and always got 50 Mb as total.. May be we have some hardware differences? Look at system-about screen. I can see there:
Processor: OMAP850-195MHz
Memory: 50,00 MB
So, You?
I have a Qtek 9100 and did an upgrade with the dutch Qtek ROM.
After this I also had less ROM and RAM free.
Now I have the Imate ROM witch says it is version 1.1.9.3
Now I also have RAM 49.97 with about 25 free
and ROM 47.46
I think it depends on the type of Romversion you have.
Probably language takes some space.
I also had a lot more proceses running in the dutch ROM.
So if you want more space take the I-mate or the Qtek WWE-ROM
Well Button,
I think my ROM is newer...
How do you flash new ROM? Just "run" new rom file (after unlock CID device?)
At about screen I can see: OMAP850-195Mhz and 44.11 MB !
Somebody have 50MB too, like Button?
Regards
I did the Big Hack successfully and gained 27 mb of space on my O2 mini (I was a happy man). Prior to this, at the time of Big Hack I stored a copy of my original rom and my extended rom.
Subsequently, in about 2 weeks time I accidentally deleted some key files while using SK Tools. Due to this the ‘close button’ at the top corner was not visible even after soft reset. The “running programs” application was also missing. Because of this I did a hard reset.
When I tried to load programs into the new storage gained, I found that the storage area is full (total storage memory 26.72 MB, free 0.00 MB. No programs are being written on to this area. I did another hard reset. Still no luck. My active sync is working fine with contacts, calendar etc. getting synced very fine. Only, I cannot install programs to my new big storage area as it shows the full area as full.
Total Main Memory is - 57.41
Storage Program
Allocated 24.39 MB Allocated 33.02 MB
In use 2.08 MB In use 10.63 MB
Free 22.31MB Free 22.39 MB
Please help me. What should I do ? Do I need to visit the Service Centre in Mumbai and ask them to restore my device back to the level at which I purchased it ? Do I flash the BIG ROM once again ? Do I flash the saved, original RoM. Somehow, when I try to flash in boot loader, the screen only shows “Serial 1.0”, but it is not prompting me to Press power to flash.
sorry, im not to good wid my magician, how do i do a big hack, and what does it do?
Galahad: I would suggest re-flashing with your bigstorage'd ROM. That should re-partition everything hopefully back to bigstorage status. If that doesn't work, reflash with a normal rom, and then start from scratch.
Mark - I presume by "Big Hack" Galahad means the BigStorage hack, and not just playing with his dangly bits. Have a look on the wiki and various threads. Olt's guide here is a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37914&highlight=bigstorage
and this is my preferred technique:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...t=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=bigrom
What this does is:
by default the Magician is set up to have a "storage" area for user use of about 7mb, and an "extended" area that we can really use, containing a bunch of operator stuff that you might or might not need.
The hack turns the extended area into storage, so you get 27mb, to do with as you please. It's well worth doing if you use a wifi card for example, but if you have a large sd card anyway, and never remove it, you're not losing much.

Vijay thanks for your reply and notes. I have visited your links and taken hard copies for Note reference.
I did a romupdate and thru that I tricked my device to prompt me to flash my SD Card with the saved Big Rom. Once everything was done I got my 27mb space. I notes that it already had 5 mb written. I ignored that and went on to reinstall all my programs to this area.
One more help that I need [don'nt know if I should start a new thread] is how to get to install the application "O2 connect". I installed individual cab files from the saved EXT ROM. After installing 4 to 5 O2 connect cab files whenever I click on O2 connect I still get the message "O2 connect can only run on O2 devices"
The links that you gave me "how do I search for these links"? I do not get the search results for what I want to search in the search dialog box.
Galahad: it's not a piece of software I've ever used, but you have to remember to search for the cracked version. Have you tried the ftp? It's likely to be on there. However, many people seem to suggest it's not very good... I reserve judgement!
Remember to formulate your searches with correct boolean terms etc, it does work if you know what you're looking for and are very careful...
V
These are the files i used to get the o2 connect to work.
Thanks buddies for the replies and the tips.
Nash: I read your post. Did you mean to put a link for me to look up the files that you talked about ? Cause I don't see any files. Maybe I am missing something :?
Buddy these are CAB files in a RaR zipped
Tried using the individual cab files in the RAR file. Installed the same. It did not help me one bit. Got the same error "O2 connect is meant to work with O2 devices only"
I guess if I need the latest ROM I will pickup the same from the XDA forum.
Hi,
Guys I want to start development for HTC Phones, i m a biggener for that and dont know how rom works

ok. i've recently started getting a message come up saying that i am almost out of space on my phone. when i checked it out there was 0.5mb remaining and 339mb used up!
so started deleting programmes i don't use via the application manager, and looked into any caches aroun that i could clear. it hasn't made much differrnce at all .
can someone tell me where all these huge files are or how i can free up a lot more room?
also it seems the g sensor has stopped working in any browser!
please can someone help. i'm tempted to start from scratch, but with the t mobile or vodafone stock roms (i'm on virgin and there's not been a rom update for a long while)
please help! i love my hd2 but i'm so tempted to go over to android on desire at this rate. just problem aftet problem, and i've got this phone for anothet 1.5 years! i just want it to work amazingly.
many thanks

whoops the total storage is 180mb and the total free storage is 0.5 mb
did you check your ~recyclebin map? if not set to not use it all deleted files will go there
is tbere a recycle bin?? if so where is it?
i also looked in the windows foldet and it appears copilot is in there but it won't let me delete it . it's 6.5mb. . .
I think the recycle bin is a Resco thing!!
I’d had this before and found a temp file hogging 99mb of space on the phone memory. There is a search program in the start menu that will find these large files.
Application Data > HTC > HTC Album > Cache – is another source of memory hogging goodness. This doesn’t affect the operation of the Sense Tab, just grows every time you browse your photos. There is a hack on this site to move the cache to the storage card...
Other than that I would install a programme to clean out the temp files and folders. I use SKTools (have done for about 3 years) think it works perfectly, there are other freeware alternatives out there.

Chances are your device memory is clogged up with temporary files...first things first, look at a program called cleartemp as it'll help clean most of the cache files
Readtboy2000's thread and move your opera cache AND pictures from device to storage card AND delete Opera9 and OperaL file (reading all of his tips/tricks HELP a lot)
next, move your album cache using a cab developed by tune4 found here
Also, use cleanRam so you don't have to soft reset tooooo many times
and report back to us
+1 with damnshah
and install all of the application for your HD2 in the mSD card
oh thank you all!
it worked! i know have 112mb free instead of 0.5 mb!
now if only there was a new officiall WWE rom update my life would be complete....
Darren
Is there any way to move Youtube temp folder to storage card?
Mike
You should really give a custom ROM a go, my Energy ROM uses less than 50 megs on the internal memory. A couple of times a week I delete the album cache which can use 15megs or so, and it runs lovely and smooth.
