Storage disappeared after upgrading - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi,
The "Storage" has disappeared after upgrading to WM5. It not visible in Settings -> Memory too.
How it can be fixed?

this is what suppose to happen.
it is being utilized by WM5 now. downgrading to 2003SE is the only fix

WM5 is on your ROM (also the Storage portion), hence you wont' see Storage at all.

On the Wiki there is a recommendation to format Storage before installing WM5 to get 60Mb storage instead of 43. So I can utilize it somehow?

strange folders - any ideas

Hello there,
I have quite an amount of strange folders in \windows - these can't be opened or deleted.
On open TotalCommander says 'either not signed or component missing'.
I have always installed software to internal storage and my system storage is down to 14MB left...
Any idea what these are? Will I have to hard reset?
It's a German T-Mob CompactIV / original T-Mob ROM.
Thx

looks like a corrupted filesystem to me. I had this a few times with my SD card on my HTC trinity. Usually it happened when I played around with some of the speed optimizations that changed the blocksize etc. of the SD card.
ok - but if these were corrupted files, shouldn't this have at least some impact on the system itself? It's running great - no errors...
So what did you do with your sd - reformat I assume?
Only to have tried it I installed and ran f-secure -> no virus found (but also no access to these folders)
ok - as somehow my phone started to go totally gaga -> hard reset
- strange folders gone
- went from 14 to 65MB

Memory problems with tt7.

Hi All,
When i try to start tomtom navigator 7 you see a startup screen than in a few seconds my touch diamond give me a error with the text not enough memory does somybody now what the problem is?? Because i have enough memmory left !!
have you got other programs running in the background?
No nothing at all !
Storrage 61 mb available,
Programs 41 mb available.
(This is the memory use)
hmm... much installed on internal memory?
i try and keep games/apps installed on Internal Storage, then just system stuff in memory
On my internal memory i got more than 1 gb space that must be enough i guese??
thats ur internal storage,
when you install a program you get a choice to install to memory or storage.
if u go to Start-> Settings -> System -> Memory, it will tell you under 'Program' how much RAM you have left to run progs. Under 'Storage' is how much storage space you have left on 'Internal Memory'.
I do not see anyware in system memory ram use only the use is marked bij mb's an than i have 47 of 111mb so that must be enough i hope?
yeh that should be fine.
i usually have around the 50mb mark, and run IGo8 and TTN7 fine...
did you install TT7 or did it come with the phone?
I install it butt i try it around 5 times and delet it when it doent work maybe there are some hidden files left behind that cause the problem?
yeh... where did u download it from?
I have the same sort of thing, except I get the memory issue, when I exit the problem lol. I too have plenty of memory on both side, using repack 3 version.
It doesn't cause any problems, except for being annoying lol
newsgroups!
I don't have this problem on mine running Dutty's 2.0 but when my friend installed it on his, he had memory problems using the official Orange shipped 1.37. I thought an update would cure it, but upgrading it to the official Orange update didn't work either. Can't remember offhand how much memory he had left to work with.
ROM related or memory related?
Presume you have soft-reset and fired up the program from scratch.....??
If this still doesn't "fix" the issue uninstall and re-install to internal storage (again?) and see if that sorts it...
If you still have the issue you may have to source a different TT7 install same (there are at least 2, repack for the "older" rev works fine for me)....
...still have an issue, then I would look to a hard reset to clear any erronious changes you may have inadvertantly made
Last Hurah......instal a different/newer W6.1 CE ROM (not sure what you are using now...)
Good luck...I'm sure you will get it
I had this and you need to uninstall it and reinstall it on your internal memory. I will not work installed to you device.

Strange problem with disk space on Diamond

Hello everyone. I have discovered a strange problem on my Diamond. When I try to transfer something to Internal Storage from the PC (a MP3 file , for example - a very small one) I get the "NOT ENOUGHT STORAGE SPACE" error on my device.
I have checked the properties in the Diamond, and apparently the 4GB disk drive is recognized properly (i have 3 gb of memory free).
I tried to flash another stock WM 6.1 ROM and a hard reset, with the stylus, but no luck.
Do you know what could be wrong ? And how can i fix it. Thanks!
nobody ? its very annoying, because i cannot transfer anything to my device.
have you tried on another computer ?
also try hard resetting along with formatting your internal storage aswell....you get an option for that in the hardreset menu.
or u can go to the settings and format your internal storage from there
just try
thanks for your reply.
i tried on 2 computers, but same thing happened.
i will give it a try with the internal storage format, and later today i will post the results. thanks!
clear your browser cache, cookes, and history. Fixed my low storage memory problem.

Memory corrupt?

On Friday I flashed new Morna ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469852). Everythig was ok, I've installed all my apps. But in the evening it hang up, only hard reset helped.
Then something happend: my device hard reset or hang up (is does not load then, only hard reset helps) every time when program storage memory (not internal storage) remain about 50mb. I've tried to update everything: ROM, Radio... Nothing...
May be program storage memory corrupted? Is there any tool to diagnostic and repair it?
Post in ROM thread...
You should post this in the thread where you got your ROM, you'll probably get more specified help there.
You can try clearing the internal storage. I had to do this once because a ROM was acting strangely. Why internal storage should affect the ROM I don't know, but it fixed my device.
Start - Settings - System tab - Clear Storage - Select 'Format internal storage only' from the drop-dowm list

WM6.5 ROM for 43MB storage

Hello,
I cannot resize my storage to 60MB for some reason.
I'm receiving well known error:
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL DRIVE failed.
However is there any WM6.5 ROM that will work with 43MB storage?
This device will not be used much often so maybe 43MB will be sufficient.
Thanks in advance,
Drazen
i think our problem is same.
i've installed WM 6.5 with 43MB rom too
i think we have to downgrade and expand the main storage to 60MB
after that, upgrade it.
(see Chef_tony sticked post )
I already try that without success (i tried other suggestions also).
Is there any ROM that will work with 43MB storage?
WM6.1 or WM6 ROM is also accepted.

You must downgrade to WM2003 only than you can rezise the Storage!!!!
huh, I already tried that without success. I tried few different WM2003 ROMs and other stuff but still receive same error.
However I manage to install your ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 21888) and it works with 43MB memory.
This device is not for me so I'm happy that it works and this is all! Job done
Thank you anyway!
some devices have another DOC chip installed and therefore the storage canot be extended with the tool from my tutorial, but any rom should still work fine.
thanks ,
