Guest danktuft Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Woke up this morning and the Vario2 is constantly reminding me about low memory. Indeed, all of a sudden I only have .5mb free in Storage. Any apps I've installed recently I've put on the card, I've run MemMaid which reclaimed something silly like .001mb. Due to the way in which Windoze works I can't actually see what size each folder is unless I click on each one and get properties which is obviously a very time consuming business. Any ideas? I had 7/8mb free a week or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danktuft Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Start> Settings> System> Memory - click on Find large files Srry, should've mentioned I've tried that, there don't seem to be any really large ones lying around so either what has gobbled up all the space is hidden or there are trillions of small ones. I've only installed one bit of software over the last week or so though and that was to the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danktuft Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well, at some point yesterday I recovered about 6mb of space. God knows how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danktuft Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Do you do a lot of surfing in PIE? Maybe move PIE cache to the storage card. Thanks for the tip, done that already though. The longer I have to live with this phone the more I think it's a dog. At work they are now standard for the reps and every single one of them moans about the battery life. Too many strange things happen, for example my memory problem earlier that just cleared itself up. Really wish I'd stayed with Palm now, Microsoft make crap things. full stop.

Are you sure it's the op sys and not other software set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danktuft Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Are you sure it's the op sys and not other software set up? I think I know what this is now, it's something to do with the Sprite backup software I use. It's set to backup at 4am every morning. Sometimes I wake up and the phone has locked/crashed at some point overnight (either before or during the Sprite backup) and I get an error message from Sprite saying the backup could not be completed.Then about 5 minutes later the incessant low memory warnings happen from the WM5 OS. If I set Sprite running again and let it do the backup the missing space comes back afterwards. Just got to find out why the damn thing randomly crashes now.It's been happening during charging cycles a lot it seems to me recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had a problem withSPB Backup but then I back up on demand rather than automatically ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest freemans Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 hey there, was Device Lock or PIN enabled? You cannot have any lock enabled on your phone as the Sprite Scheduled Backup cannot by pass it: https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.a...%3d0%26sort%3d0 You are best to log a support question if it is something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
