video recording - not enough memory?

[Guest scrattyrat]

Hi - does anybody have a problem attempting to record video?

Sometimes when i press capture when in video record mode i get an alert saying 'video recording aboearted . not enough memory'

Although in the top right of the screen it says 'free: 28:57'

I have changed the settings, so that storage is using the storage card not the internal memory. But this problem happens either way. I have been through and deleted any crap from the internal memory also. System info from file explorer says i have over 1/2 my internal storage memory free (849.25KB out of 1.46MB), 3.11 MB of internal program memory (out of 21.62MB) and loads of storage card memory left.

I have only had the phone (SDA Music) 2 days and have not installed anything apart from the arcsoft.cab for o2 gprs settings - does it sound riight that i only have 3.11MB program mem left before i have actually installed anything?

Please help!

Thanks

I had once a problem like that with my SPV C500 but i think that in my case it was the RAM memory that was short (there were other applications running) and my opinion is that it may b so in your case ,anyway try to record without any other applications running. Hope it helps ! ;)

Hi,

Check my reply in this thread:

Look for 'Unable to continue recording video: Not enough memory'. It works on the C500, it might work on your SDA. ;)

Thanks guys - it would appear that the problem was that apps were running in the background. I went to taskmanager and lo and behold about 5 programs were running (camera, sms, file explorer etc). After stopping all of these recording is fine.

Is there a way to exit a program and return to the homescreen that actually ends the program rather than leaving it active in the background? I sometimes just press the homescreen button, repeatedly click back or use the hang up button to return to home screen. Dont know if any of these methods actually close the program i'm in, or if another method will do so?

When i take pictures/video i like to do so 'spur of the moment' and it will quickly get annoying having to navigate to the task manager and close all the progs (about 6 button presses!).

Thanks for the speedy responses btw ;-)

Sounds like you need a task manager. Have you tried Xbar?

[Guest scrattyrat]

Not tried that - though i will do. Only just got the phone so am in the process of downloading apps before installing them.

Will this close apps when i exit back to the homescreen?

also should i install apps to the storage card not the internal memory - doesnt seem to be much internal memory there?

Cheers

With a combination of keypresses, Xbar can close all apps then take you back to the homescreen.

By default, Xbar launch key is mapped to the Action button. I had mine re-mapped to keypad 0. With that, I close all running apps using long press 0 + long press 1. All other modifications can be found at the Xbar site.

As for installation path, I had mine installed to the phone (\Storage). App doesn't take much space and physical memory. ;)
