Hey everyone I am just looking for a solution on how to clear up some storage memory on my att tilt. It has a full stock shipped rom installed. I don't have too many aftermarket programs installed either and if anything I have most programs installed on my 4gb Card. I keep getting the low storage memory message on my phone and I can't even send new mms messages or read new ones. Out of the alloted 125 mb free storage ram I am running less then 1mb free memory. Program memory however is fine.
Do you guys have any solutions to clearing up some storage memory other then removing the Att bloatware. What is the primary cause of low storage memory? Right now I have about 2+gb's on my storage card and I would like to use that to save my files if that is an option.
Please advise.
Thanks
try clearing your internet explorer cache. This is done by opening IE, and go to Menu > Tools > options and pick the memory tab. tap the Delete Files button, and see what that does for you.
I did that and it cleared up over 40MB of memory. I use Opera exclusively now just because of that. I wish someone would fix the issue of not being able to redirect IE's cache to the SD card.

Damn that was a great fix man. I just cleared out 60mb's of storage. Thats crazy. Any other pointers?
Internet cache path can be changed using schap's advanced configuration tools, stickied in the 'development and hacking' in the general section.
Y'all should read posts in general too, since there is alot of information that is not Kaiser specific...
Hope this helps.

I am aware of that program, but it is a known issue with the Kaiser that PIE will hang if the temp files are redirected to your storage card.
....unless it's been fixed and I missed it.

Nope, I haven't heard about a fix either, although I haven't encountered it personally with my TomTom maps on my storage card. I never thought about this before, but perhaps me having a class 6 helps? dunno.

its slow, slugish and for some reson on 3G it loads up half of the page then freeze and on E its slowww.
why? do i do some worng?
same for me, looking for a solution, too. in the meantime i use opera mini, which is unbelieve fast!
I start not to like Kaiser rom.
wm6 on my 8525 was blazing fast.Kaiser its like old women.
please .......guys......... new rom we need it.
If you did a registry hack to move to the storage card, it may cause problems.
had the same problem. use advanced configuration tool go to internet explorer tab tick disable internet files cache. reset. no freezes for me after that.

The same with me :-((
Opera 8.65 without Problems
After I updated to 6.1 I also have the same problem - IE will open a page to some amount (like 4KB for Live Search download page) and then the whole device freezes.
Have any of you who have this issue ever tweaked the IE settings so that IE temp files go to storage card instead of main memory? This is usually done with Tweaks2k2 or TweakKaiser, or one of those apps.
Disable the proxy and shift the cache to your main memory rather than the storage card.

Yes. I came to that idea too. I had previously set the temp files to be stored on Storage card. I did a hard reset (this was not the only reason) and after that IE works again.
So don't change the location settings of IE!!!
I just got a Tilt and am running Alex's stripped ROM. I'm used to storing the Temporary Internet Files, History, and Cookies on the Storage Card with my Hermes.
I've Google Searched this and cannot find it.
I've tried to make the registry changes as follows:
HLCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders
Cache = \Storage Card\Temporary Internet Files
Cookies = \Storage Card\Cookies
History = \Storage Card\History
When I do this and reset the device, PIE won't work. It starts to down load files then just starts.
How are you Kaiser Aces doing this.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried this myself but I know KaiserTweak has options to change where your files are stored. Give that a whirl.
Unless you want a dead slow internet experience, don't do it. the only reliable place to move the cache to on these devices is a ram disc. But that's a bit of a waste on your ram & not needed. As long as you clean up your temp. iternet files occasionaly you'll be fine in device memory. As far as I know though, there is no reliable way to relocate the cache to SD at this time.

Thanks man. I do it on my BA and Hermes with no problem. I'll follow your advice.
Yeah, I n BA also. This is a different beast though.
No storage card for IE files..... SSLLLLLOOOOWWWW and/or DIE. Unfortunately, it is no good.
I've set IE cache to storage card and must confirm that IE becomes very slow and hangs so now and then.

sorry for the thread revival, but by "cleaning out" temp files, do you mean just deleting everything under:
\Windows\profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\*
?
I've got 37.9 MB in mine.
simplified. using your browser, go in to settings and delete cookies, cache and temp. internet files.
or you can use the cleartemp program and do it that way.

I did that (cleared cookies/cache/temp files in browser), it didn't remove any of the files in that directory.
so...
- did a soft reset
- renamed my \Content.IE5\ folder to \Content.IE5.OLD\
- did another soft reset
- opened PIE and browsed
- checked that a new \Content.IE5\ folder had been created
- deleted the \Content.IE5.OLD\ one
38MB recovered.
Just deleted 2 Posts as they were adding no value unless we are in a kindergarten.
Thanks for the thread, I just recovered 64mb
I have looked and looked and i cant seem to find any information pertaining to my issue. I have a stock tilt with the HTC Home plugin, HTC Album, Kaiser Tweak, Shogunmark wm6 threader, and Arcsoft MMS enable and composer.
Now on to the problem. I will be texting through the shogunmark program or just messing around on the phone, nothing specific, and i will get a little box that says out of memory: please close some windows and try again. When i look in the AT&T task manager all it says is open is the messaging program and activesync (even though it is not hooked to my computer at all).
Any ideas or suggestions or ways to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Have you checked your device memory? It could possibly be quite low because you’ve installed far too many applications on your device memory, and not on your storage card (if you even have a storage card?)
Sometimes, temporary/unnecessary files end up installed and duplicated on your device memory. If you don’t need them, delete them. Applications like SKtools can also help you free up much needed space by deleting unnecessary files.
Is there a specific place to obtain SKTools? I searched and all i saw was someone else mentioning it, not a link or anything.
your problem is with the SMS threader you have. I'd love to search for you but I havent got the time right now. I personally posted a fix in another thread and I have seen the fix in other threads as well. It's out there, go get it.
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html Even without the programme, click on ‘start’ then ‘settings’ then ‘system’ and then ‘memory’. You’ll be able to see both your storage and program memory.
To give you an idea, my storage memory is 92.75MB and my programme memory is 61.65 MB. If you’re memory is very low, then this could be the programme. This can be easily fixed by clicking on ‘file explorer’ then ‘my device’ and sifting through your programmes and deleting any uneeded programmes.
SK tools is meant to be pretty good as well, but it costs about $17. I’ve always deleted uneeded programmes manually by myself too.
But it looks like Grizzley has suggested a likely problem with your SMS. Maybe this could be the problem too...?
I normally don't need much direct help when it comes to figuring out stuff on my tilt phone but I can't seem to get this one!
I have the youtubeQVGA_working cab running on my phone, works perfectly yadda yadda, no problems there. But it eats up major memory on my device because the cache is located in the "/Windows" directory! I tried to go into the registry to find out how to switch it to a folder on my storage card but no luck, so in fear of screwing something up, I decided to ask around.
Anybody been able to figure this out, I'm sure it's not very difficult, but I'm probably just missing something. Can somebody point me in the right direction??
Well...
After a few more days of searching and messing around with the registry I still can't figure out how to switch the "/Windows/YouTube" cache folder to a "Storage Card/YouTube" folder where I can store my Favorites, History, Channels, and Search folders.
I realize I haven't been able to find the answer but I thought this was a fairly easy fix. Actually I assumed someone already did it, but like I said I haven't found it yet. Maybe I'm using the wrong wording in google.....
If it's any help I found a string in HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube called TempFileLocation with a value of 1...
Help PLZ!!!
I am also very interested in knowing how to change the cache location of HTC YouTube too. I called HTC and complained because the cache on mine can get so high that the device runs low on memory, which then results in loss of ability to recieve SMS and emails. The HTC call center accepted the problem, but Sprint email rep and HTC email reps did not want to take responsibility. In fact, HTC email rep said the program does not belong to them. What a bunch of liers.
Why don't you idiots at HTC fix your software and stop lying. Why didn't you put more device memory on TP2s? Memory was cheap when TP2 was being designed so why didn't you put more memory for the device and change the location of caching to storage card for all your programs!!!! I am very angry at HTC because my SMS stopped working and I got in a lot of trouble. People did not believe me, and it is HTC's fault.
Someone please help correct HTC programmers stupid mistakes!
I have searched everywhere but can't find the answer. I'm sure that there is some genious out there who could help us out? How do we change the location of the YouTube cache?

Well, then you just use SmartTweaker.2008.v2.0 ..

I join the question, how to move the cache to the memory card because it takes a lot of main memory.

In order to cache more free and don't interfere with main memory, just move it to the memory card. Here's how:
1. Install Resco Registry Editor
2. Click Start> Resco Registry and come to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software>> Microsoft> Windows> CurrentVersion> Explorer> Shell Folders.
3. Knock cache, change the value data from> Windows guest> Profiles>> Cache to be> Storage Card> Cache and press done.
4. Knock cookie, change the value data from> Windows guest> Profiles>> Cookies> Storage Card> Cookies and then press done.
5. Knock history, change the value data from the> guest> Windows Profile>> History to be> Storage Card> History and press done.
6. Close the Registry editor.

I save all my programs and install them on the internal drive. I am still getting a low memory warning. Are there any specific places I need to look , i.e Windows folder, etc.., where I can remove useless files? I'm afraid to delete some important things.
I have an Alltel Touch Diamond. Thanks in advance.
Low memory warning is not about the storage where you save your stuff & apps. Its the RAM of the diamond. To solve the issue you'll probably have to install another ROM with lower mem usage or close TF3D before running your heavy apps.
HI THERE
the program pocket mechanic solve me a lot of that issue .
after installing the prog. i removed some what of files to the intenal storage .
it did work for me just great /
windows folder/directory
open windows directory. goto Opera folder. goto images folder. any files that aren't jpg or png (meaning files that will have an opera logo in front of them) are deletable. If you use opera a lot and have never done this, there may be many. Also Windows/Messaging. this stores info from all emails, even when you delete, info is left here- delete all old stuff. If you feel iffy about trying any of this, create a folder in your internal storage to cut these files into, and if you have any trouble or do something wrong, you can cut/copy them right bsck (but these sre things i do to keep memory clear). Also, ClearTemp is an AWESOME HELPFUL program (and free). I think v1.21 is the latest, but after 3rd day of using it, it had recovered about 10mb of storage memory. (set it up properly, din't just hit 'clean'). good luck.
Lastly, some early diamonds (roms) had a known issue with unrecoverable storage memory, so last case scenario, update to newest official rom.

au contraire. memory on diamond is partitioned 3ways (storage memory, program memory, internal storage)
when you get a 'main memory low' msg, it's usually because your storage memory (not RAM), and not program memory, has dropped to <1mb. not your operating memory or program memory.

I dealt with this on my first diamond. Had to return it - it is an issue on early diamonds, known by htc (storage not erasing things it should, regardless of user settings). A search will turn up a handful of other threds on this topic.
Thanks for all the replies.. here are screens of what I'm talking about.
As you can see I have a ton of storage on the Internal but 1Mb left on Device... If you still agree that I should follow the advice above I will do that. Just wanted to clarify what I was talking about.
thank you scottspa74
I have exactly the same problem with storage memory and what scottspa74 proposed just gave me the solution to my problem .
Thank you very much
Well, I also found that if you have taken a lot of pictures and video with the phone it takes up a ton of device storage. Try deleting big video files or transferring them somewhere else.
