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!!!!!!!.

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 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 !
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.
I'm upgrading my Advantage to a 4GB Mini SDHC card from a 2GB MiniSD card. I'd like to format both cards so that each is "fresh". Is it possible to do this in the Advantage, or do these cards need to be formatted from the PC?
Thanks,
Ron
don't format with the PC. Use pocket mechanics professional or sktools.
For the mini, make sure your setting is
- do not backup FAT table
- cluster size set at 32k
- Fat 16
For miniSDHC, make sure the option is
- do not backup FAT table
- cluster size set at 32k
- Fat 32
That will give you the best read/write performance.

Thanks for the info. But I need to purchase another utility to be able to do this? I've already purchased MemMaid which I like a lot, but there doesn't seem to be any card formatting options. Or is it that Mini SD cards don't really *require* formatting?

have you tried the trial version of sktools?
When the card is first delivered to you, they're already formatted. However, once in a while they get corrupted. That's when you may need to do this again. If you find the system freeze constantly or if you have missing files, chances are you have a lost clustered or chains. Sometimes I can recover them with pocket mechanics professional. At other times I prefer to start clean again by reformatting, just like we sometimes do with the microdrive.

I am interested to know why you do not recommend formatting with the PC. And, why the difference in File Allocation Tables between the 2 cards?

The last time I formatted with PC, my system kept hanging and the SKtool performance test rating plummetted to as low as 20 kb/s.
One of the key differences between normal SD(including miniSD and microSD) and SDHC (including miniSDHC and microSDHC) is the FAT thingy. It's just the way things work.
I bought A Sandisk 1GB Mini SD Card off of ebay for $10
-just the the card no card reader, or adaptor of any sort.
I insert it into my wizard, and it fits it with the spring loaded mechnism fine, but when I go to memory managment, im not sure if it knows it's there or not
Memory management will say that, that "external storage": "Not Installed"?
But when I go to take pictures, I go to the utilities/options menu, then general tab, and it doesnt even acknowledge that theres their a card in the slot, only seeing system memory.
So my question is, are their any programs that can/will format my card, or implement something to make it work?
I have Total Commander(not installed), and thinking about downloading this program called "SKTools". Would these programs work.
Cause not only is this a brand new card, but i have pictures and programs that I want to get installed on this device.
-Ive already amazed myself by using the Lockiwiz, to unlock my phone(having only 2-days worth of exp with a smartphone device)
-taken a few pictures, which i have to downloading off my wizard through activesync
-An some other freeware programs that want to install themselves on the system memory
Please help, all/ and any post greatly appreciated
Thanks!
EDIT: I downloaded SKTools onto my device, and its a cool program( I think its a alternate version of total commander but you pay for it?), but it doesnt recognize my Mini SD card either!!
-I also found this program called "WM5Storage", in the description it say that it's specialty is dealing with "external storage", downloading/ and uploading without the need of activesync?
I used Paragon Partition Manager to partition my minisdhc
panasonic
SDFormatter
the setup maybe you find in www
here is the program-folder,
just extract to c:\programs\
or use a CANON DIGITAL IXUS 65 or else DigiCam
