I noticed the memory display shows "storage" and "programs" memory. How is it that after a soft-reset or closing running programs, only the "programs" memory improves but the "storage" memory remains at the same level?
Is there a way to improve the "storage" memory because it seems to be going down as the PDA is being used and if it goes too low, I am fearful that some programs may not run at all.

Happy New 2008,
Was exploring my Kasier & noticed from Setting->Memory that my memory status as follow:-
Main, Total:135M, In use:130M, Free:5M
Program, Total:101M, In use:42M, Free:59M
Which is the RAM memory? ROM memory?
When I went to "remove program", I realised programs that I installed are shown in "Programs in storage memory".. even I had directed to "memory card".. How do I know which are the program I had intended be installed in memory card? I'm confused and would appreciate any kind soul can direct me...
Thanks in advance..
Do you think this helps?
Regards,
Carty..
Sorry, just to confirm, so when you are installing a program, you tell it to install to your Micro SD Card, but it installs to the Main Memory instead?
Thanks.
Yes, I directed to micro-SD card, I can see the files are stored under the program files of memory card, but why it occupied the "storage memory" of the main memory, now I left with 5M??
Actually, I am having this problem as well. Programs that I had installed on the Micro SD are showing up in the Program Files folder on my device rather than storage card.
I just uninstalled Google Maps and confirmed absence of Google Maps folder in both device and mem card. When reinstalling the app, I chose to install on mem card. However, browsing with Total Commander shows the Google Maps exe and folder has been installed to main mem, with no Google Maps folder to be found on mem card.
Any bright ideas?
try clearing your temp internet files that eats a lot of phone memory and should free up quite a bit for you
Thanks for that. It's not really the amount of free memory that is the issue for me. It's more the fact that, despite choosing "SD card", all the programs seem to be installed on the main memory.
Can somebody please explain how much internal memory my phone should have, I'm a bit confused I thought it was 192MB.
If i open memory in the settings it shows Storage 93.98MB and Program 113.07MB.
Correct me if I wrong but I think the program memory is like the ram on a computer to run programs etc and the storage is for any programs that I load or files I save but I have hardly installed anything and my storage is only showing 23MB. Whats using all my memory?
All theories and explanations:

Hey everyone,
I have the Kaiser and am having trouble with my storage memory.
Total: 125.04 MB
In use: 111.10 MB
***Free: 13.88 MB ***
Why is my storage memory so damn low?... How do I find out what's taking so much mem up?... How do I free that memory up??? I have no programs open, and most of my programs are on my 4 gig storage card.
Any help or suggestions are truly appreciated!

Make sure the caches of IE, OPERA, ETC are deleted routinely.
If you are storing ringtones on your main memory, download software that will allow ringtones on the storage card.
Same goes with any audio clips, videos, or pictures.
If you use resco explorer, make sure the recycling bin is cleaned, or simply disable the recycling bin.
This should free up a nice chunk of storage space. (Ofcourse assuming that most of your programs are actually on your storage card; check your main memory programs folder to actually see whats installed on your main memory)
Thank you for your help!
One more (silly) question - When I install programs to my Tilt, it asks me if I want to install them to the main storage or my memory card. I almost always choose memory card, yet when I check my main storage memory after I install to my storage card, the main storage is depleted... Even though I chose storage card, it still installs some components to the main memory... why is this?
ekw, whats the name of the sofware that allows storage of ringtones on memory card with kaisers?
Thanks....
Just move them to the route of your memory card - no need to purchase software!
Just like on the full-sized Windows, certain programs will want to install a couple of files in the system directories regardless of where the program itself is installed... Those shouldn't be big though.
I'm finding the memory management in my MDA compact iv very frustrating. I know it's not phone specific but more to do with how windows itself manages the memory but it's annoying to have 8Gb of internal memory available yet i can't run my youtube app because i have less than 8mb (in fact i'm down to 2.84Mb) of free storage memory and down to 22.02Mb of program memory!
Some of the applications i've installed, i read that they couldn't be installed on internal memory or else they wouldn't work so that too decreases the amount of memory available for applications such as youtube.
Does anyone know of any workarounds for better memory management? i'm now considering a new "lite" rom installation but didn't really want to mess around with that as i've not tried it before.
cheers all.
Ever tried Oxios Hibernate?

You have set the "X" button to close programs rather than minimise I presume?? No point having lots of programs running in the background unless absolutely neccessary.
BTW, most programs will run from the Int Storage....just try them at install (if they definately don't allow you to install there, then they won't let you!!) Of course, if your not happy with them running from Int Stor then remove them and install to your device
i have all programs closed down but still am low on memory.....the only option now really is to do a hard reset, re-install my progs to the internal and see what does or doesn't work from there........
Is it possible to adjust your program memory using the device memory, like on wm2003?
Nope
That feature is not available with WM 5 and up
That adjustment was there because file storage was done in RAM, and the slider would let you choose how much of that RAM to allocate to storage and running programs. Since WM5, storage is done in the Flash memory, so all the RAM is always dedicated to running programs. No point for it then.
alright thank you!
I'll just wait for a different rom with more program memory then.
program mem is static one cant add more by rom other then
move ram from pagepool to app memory
and doing that kill application io performance
pagepool was interduced when flash storage was
to counter the issue that flash storage was much much slower
then old sd ram storage
