Hermes not telling me how much free space left when installing apps...

[Guest shadamehr]

A curious thing driving me mad...

If I go to install software on my PDA, usually by way of clicking on a cab file using File Explorer on the device, the device will then sometimes prompt you with a warning, do you wish to install untrusted source etc etc (depending on the software source etc.)

If you say yes, the next thing that will happen, is that you will be asked by the pda, where you want to install, if you have a storage card inserted, and have a radio button choice of Device, or Storage Card.

And as you tick one or the other, the text below this will tell you how much space is REQUIRED, and the killer>>> on all previous devices, also how much is REMAINING on whichever storage type you tick - device or card.

But on my Vario 2, it DOESN'T show any info at all about how much is left remaining...

On a vario 1, and a universal, and all my previous windows smartphones, it DID tell you this.

Is it just me going mad, having this issue, or is it a generic bug we all have...?

From a post on XDA Devs, another user with a AKU 3.3 ROM says it is working fine for him, so I wonder if it's a ROM issue.

I just haven't heard mention of this before now.

So do you lot get the free space remaining displayed, whilst installing applications on the device?

Please post either way, along with your device type (operator/rom) etc.

Cheers all.
