Hard Reset

[Guest shiwlof]

Ok, I am considering hard resetting my phone in the attempt of of freeing up more of my IPSM space. Currently I am sitting with 180kb free. Most of my newer apps are installed on my SD card. I am planning of running as much as I can from the SD card.

Now a question. After a hard reset, what will be on the phone? Applications I mean. Inbox, Calender and other core components will remain on the phone? Will the Hard Reset MSN Messenger? As I am not using it at all.

My contacts I could save to my sim card before the reset, SMS', MMS' I can lose, not too worried about them. And I suppose I could sync it with Outlook and then sync it back when I'm done.

Hard Reset puts the phone back to the out-of-the-box-state :lol:

So the phone will be exactly as it was when you bought it...

You can sync all contacts, appointments etc. with outlook and then sync them back after you

have hard reset, that's what i usually do :)

So how much IPSM space could I be looking at after the reset?

And again I pose the option can you remove some of the core components? MSN messenger being one.

[Guest Vector]

No you cannot remove MSN messenger...

Not sure how much space you should have as i don't have an MPx200

but should be in the region of 5mb to 10mb :)

Ok, I have done the Hard Reset. Sitting with 7mb free on my IPSM. This I am happy about. Just a few minor issues... I think.

IA Photo is gone, and no default File Manager. File Manager I'm not worried about, as I have installed Smart Exporer. Can I get hold of the default image viewer still? Or should I go for a aftermarket one now?

I will sync my contacts when I get home from work, as they are all in my Outlook there. But overwise all seems fine. Installed my normal homescreen, Jeyo Personalizer and Smart Explorer.

So any ideas?

Fortunately a hard reset on the mpx200 does not take it back to the way it was when you first bought it, as you have found out it removes all the pre-installed apps.

The good news is that all the apps you want are on the cd that came with

the phone and you can now install them to the storage card to save space

on the phone :)

Just remember if you want MMS working you have to install

the jmms app onto the phone and not the storage card otherwise

your Inbox will not work correctly.

Ok, just to update everyone. Got all my apps back on, and my phone is running like a dream. battery life also increased, or so it would seem. I have now free:

MEMORY

RAM: 17.1/28.4MB

Program: 6.1/17.8MB

Storage: 10.2/10.6MB

Flash Storage

Internal(IPSM): 5.5/11.0MB

SD Card: 47.1/59.5MB

So all is very cool now. Now must just sync with Outlook and get all my contacts and calender notes back.

So from I have learnt, Hard Reset really does rock.

Next thing I doing is getting a 256MB SD card, using the phone to move data from work to home. Plus any downloaded data. Works very well for this.
