Hi
I recently bought a Samsung omnia 2. But a strange thing happened that prevented me from installing programs is desired. I am buying this phone was to install a large number of books, but after installing some programs from the phone memory is full and other books can not be installed.
This is strange ; when i install the program on my storage ( ~ 16 gig ) memory the same amount of memory reduce from internal memory ( ~ 150 meg ) ! until the memory become full and critical memory low notification appear .
in the installation process i choose my storage for installation but the amount of internal memory decreased !!
it means that i can install only 150 megabyte of these books . these books are about 1 gig !!
these book installation program started from desktop and continued the installation on my PDA phone . ( Skyscape medical book )
i have Xperia X1 but there is not any problem for installing all of these book
help me please
sorry for my bad english
These books are installed from CAB or an EXE on PC?
Are they in some custom format of PDF/DOC?
Are other programs/games installing fine or they decrease internal storage too?

thanks for your attention
these books are installed from exe but final installation procedure complete from device .
any program installation ( from CAB files ) decrease internal memory too .
i think this is a mistake from sumsung for memory control to prevent huge installation of program !
help me if there is any way to correct this problem for me
I would try a hard reset because it's clearly something wrong with your system. If this not help you could flash another ROM version.
Or maybe you have some backup software running in background?
I'm using stock WM6.5 ROM and have installed ~250MB GPS software with no problems.
thanks
thanks for your reply
hard reset 2 times but the problem not resolved
my windows version is 6.5 stock and any backup program not running .
strange to me too ! probably hardware problem ?
Is this happenning when you're installing to My Storage (not Storage Card)?
Have you tried other microSD card?
It may be a hardware problem. Is your phone under free warranty service?
yes when i try to install on my storage this problem occured. because of 16 gig capacity i don't use memory card separately. there is a warranty service for my phone but it is not normal to me for service my only 1 month omnia !
I have my Xperia for 1 year without any problem and my previous motorola,nokia and sony ericson havenot any problem for years ! this is my first samsung devise and a bad impression
Try an application like Cleartemp or resco explorer (to empty recycle bin) to clear temporary memory .......

thanks , i test this way . hope for problem solving
The problem wont be resolved. This is happening because the installation path has been hardcoded into the cab file. So no matter what installation location you choose, it will install to phone memory, which is limited to around 150 MB. To resolve this problem contact the manufacturer of the software.

I have a 256Mb SD card that suddenly reported itself as having only 40Mb free when the total of stored files was only 16Mb.
I had to reformat to reclaim the lost space.
Has anyone else experienced this with SD cards and, if so, what it the likely cause?
well file explore dont really display hiddenfiles so the card could have all kinds of those
other file managers like total commander display all files
hi. I don't have XDA 2 but I think it happen to most most ppc 2003 OS because you are install some software that do not fully support or not support wm 2003. ( it happen to me on h5555, h5400,e405) So you need to hard reset a few times.
Sd problems continued....

Well i have a similar problem, but could solve it with a soft reset.
Now i have another problem..... I dont know how, but my card is.... i dont know how to explain. let me start from the beginning.
When i got my SPV M1000, i also got a new SanDisc SD 256 MB.
I installed cuple o programs :
PHM ( Pocket Hack Master ) main memory
Pocket Mechanic Main Memory
Stuntman Evolution Sd Card
Crazy Cart Sd Card
just to give you some exaples.
I then copyed the exe files and a X back up on my card. to have them with me if needed.
After biing happy for a half week ( experimenting with PHM and Pocket Mechanic) and a lot of playing with my device, all of a sudden, my SD card was wiped out!!!
It was all gone!!!!!
I tryed to repair/reformat/restor with pocketmechanic but nothing.
Everythin was simply not there anymore ( im talkin about 30 meg of data!!!
Active sync tells me " unavailiable " when i try to install to the SD card, and when i chose to do it anyway.... it works.
Files get istalled just fine on my card.
Now for the interessting part.
Crazy Cart just stopped working!!!
" Cannot find "crazycart" or one of its components.
Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are availiable"
is the text i get when i try to start it.
Its happenig again...... its starting to ,lose files??
has anybody expirienced the same or similar ?
is my card broken eaven though POCKETMECHANIC TELLS ME ALL IS FINE?
Any help would be coooooooool
thanx
peace
Dear All:
I just would like to understand the situation here.
after upgrading from wm5 i found that the storage memory is almost impossible to have any programs installed as it's very small.
here is what i have tried
on upgrading directly from wm5 to wm6 without hardreset:
1- storage memory is 8 MB ( i found out that somehow i have all programs that i used on wm5 and all other stored files still available)
2- contacts are still there
3- some programs are nor running
4- extremly slow
on upgrading directly from wm5 to wm6 with hardreset:
1- storage memory is up to 40 MB as i think clearing and formatting the hive removed all excess and uneeded files
2- much faster than before
anyhow my question remains the same do i need to resize capacity?
when installing programs the storage memory is drained on the device, do i need to resize to make which?
1- storage memory ? Program memory ?
2- if i do make it as storage mem 100 and progr memory 16 will it affect anything?
i just need the most space to install programs on the device as files can be added on memory card no problem.
will i need to downgrade to wm2003SE from wm5 or wm6 then use the tools privided on wiki (which is somehow questionable for me being a complete beginner) then resize the ROM and upgrade to wm6?
thanks guys, and thx helmi for a great ROM
Hard reset your device.

hI,
IS THERE A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO MOVE MBs FROM PROGRAMS TO STORAGE?
what do u mean? do you want to move your installed applications in the phone to memory card? nope! it will corrupt i think, you have to uninstall it then re install it. however, some programs which are related to the system (like helmi dialer) will be automatically installed to phone memory....
and if you mean mem as the old 2003 slider for deviding mem between app and storage then no
that vent away when ms made wm5
maybe progs like DOC or flashdisk can merge extended rom with storage if you need more storage
I mean the possibility, having 60 mb for programs and only 3 mb ffor storage, to move for example 10 mb from the first too the last: the situation will become: programs 50mb storage 13 mb.
from where you get 3 mb of storage and aditional 60 mb for programs, in blueangel we have 60 mb storage and 128 mb ram (so called program memory), or maybe you do not have Blueangel device
Please tell us your device and rom version, and you will get advice
anyway storage is flash and as such have a limited nr of write it can take before it dies
if it was used as application ram it would die very! fast
also why is it ppl want so much application ram?
programs take as much ram as they require the fact that there is plenty left dont make them faster at all
free app ram is just empty doing nothing
also BA has 128 MB ram more than most pocketpc's on the market why you need more ?
the problems is i have installed some applications that must be installed on the device; after these operations i stay with the following indications:
storage 3.68 mb (remaining);
programs 60 mb (remaining).
I'll ry 2 applications i found that could zip and unzip automatically all the files (and applications) resident on the device.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I SOLVED THE PROBLEM
success!!!!
SUCCESS!!!
I HAVE USED : POCKET MECHANIC PRO AND MEMMAID.
tHE RESULT AS FOLLOW:
STORAGE USED DECREASED FROM 98% TO 68% WITHOUT UNISTALLING NOTHINGS.an OTHER USEFULL APPLICATION I FOUND WAS swelldisk.
With this one i succeded to increase as follow:
extended rom from 16 mb to 32 mb;
sd card from 2 gb to 4 gb
Swelldisk isn't the best option AFAIK. Try to find in the forum, that was discussed, and few people lost their data from the SD.

Sounds interesting. Can you explain how you did it.
THEY HAVE MANY TOOLS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS IN POCKET MECHANICH AND IS CALLED "STORAGE"; IN FEW WORDS YOU CAN CHOOSE A FOLDER/APPLICATION ON THE MAIN STORAGE AND DECIDE TO MOVE TO A SD CARD.
any reference to this original forlder (also registry keys) change their behaviour/pointing action to the new "location"

hello
I have the same prob
I have downloaded the progs you used
I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...
Please could you tell me the procedures you followed to do that ?
Cheers
"I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...", you can't. You can only reduce usage by careful planning...Install programs to storage card, configure IE cache and temp files to storage card..... Swelldisk only work on external storage.
move the cache and all the avaiable dll to storae card: it works
I found a safe way to achieve the above:
1. Create a folder Sotage Card\ Windows
2. Include this folder name in "path"
3. Freely move any DLLs into this folder from \Windows to Storage Card\Windows
I used SKTools for achieving this. I am not sure which DLLs may be required in original \Windows folder during reflashing ROM, though I had absolutely no problem in reflashing with all DLLs moved, but better to move back system related DLLs back to original path before reflashing.

Cache will be recreated if you move the contents to another location, so you dont achieve any thing, rather waste space on storage card. If you really want to do this, change the registry settings too.
Moving DLLs to another location without declaring location name in "path" is incorrect way.
i tried but i dont know how to Include the folder name in "path"

Use SKTools free demo version
I bought the Telstra version of HTC HD2 and flashed the ROM to version 1.66 with Arabic support. What I have started noticing is that after installing several programs, my storage memory started running very low (now down to anywhere between 3-6MB while my free program memory is >160MB) even though I have setup my Windows Marketplace to install programs on the storage card, temp and cache files are as well as Email attachments are stored on the SD card and actually more than 80% of my program are installed on the SD card but I believe even when you tell a program to install on the SD card, portion of it has to install in the main memory.
My question is what to do about this situation (BTW, I have tried apps that clear the RAM and they work temporarily and, obviously, as I use my device the memory goes down and then I have to re-run that program to clear the RAM again). Is there a way to change the memory allocation between storage and program RAM like we used to do in Windows CE?
Please advise?

Hello,
I've installed a SD-Build of an Android-ROM (MDJ) for testing - but I need Windows Mobile for navigation (Navigon) too.
Now Navigon telling there not enough memory any more (only 15-30 MB than -I think- 160 MB before) - so I tried to deinstall/erase Android on SD-card.
But: The memory not becomes clear again, I do an hard reset , no success, I flash a new WM-RON (Artemis), but the monory is gone.
How can I bring back (locked) memory ?

Hi,
Before doing anything,backup your sd card to your pc/laptop.
You want to use a program like "G-Parted" (google).
You can use this program to delete partitions and formatting back to its original state.
Hello, thank you for helping ... but I think, memory is locked on internal phone memory not on sd card.
Greetings, ACHIM
Android on SD doesn't use internal memory ...so no need to uninstall or remove SD android...just make sure you do some tricks like installing gmaps on SD card and uninstall from int.mem. Gmaps cache consumes large space..also delete album cache from applications..uninstall gameloft games..they install on int.memory!...also search for posts which guide you in increasing internal memory from the hd2 Wm 6.5 section.
Since u are from Germany..I believe you have an EU HD2..be sure you have not flashed hspl on 3.14 Wm rom ..it can produce low memory
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Hello,
before tried out android on HD2 I've used WM-6.5-build from Stenas 'Artemis 51' for month without problems. Problems comes 1 weeks ago after using SD-Android, suddenly not enough memory for WM 6.5, Navigon Navigation, HTC picture album, Opera etc. not works anymore. Tried hard reset and flashing Artemis 58, but no success, about 150 MByte of internal memory are gone.
Any help?
Greetings ACHIM
before I throw my hd2 into the wastebasket I've tried this:
there was SPL 1.42.HSPL on my device
so I've now installed
SPL 3.03.0000 (with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11499585&postcount=3)
and ...
my HD2 has over 150 MByte memory back.
Not understand why before trying SD-Android all is going fine and there was no problem - perhaps, because I've updated my Radio too ???!!!
Hope, now all problems gone ...
ACHIM
