AT&T Tilt Memory Error

every once in a while, I get a message on my Tilt that says you do not have enough memory to run this program.. I thought these were random, but then figured out that it was happening when someone tried to send me a MMS with a picture. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to try to fix it?
Thanks
Andy

Loosing access to 4GB Flash when connecting as USB disk

Hello there
As this is my first post here, allow me to thank you all for a great forum, with loads of help and interesting applications. You've certanly made my life better
I've searched for this but had no luck in finding anything similar, so please excuse me if there is an old thread outthere, and help me find it.
My problem is that I've primarily used Active sync to connect to my PC and have transferred much music, programs and other stuff through this channel.
Now I have become interested in using my Diamond as a usb pen drive for my car radio etc. and also want to use it to move files from place to place.
I change the usb connection type to Disk Drive, and connect the wire to the PC, and let it install drivers so that I can access the disk drive it detects.
But then I loose access to the 4 GB memory, and can only access the internal memory of the device. Neither from the phone itself, or from the PC.
I know it have worked previously, because I have tried it some time ago. But now it seems like it's broken down.
When I look at fileexplorer on the phone, the name of the folder just disappears as soon as the cable is attached!
What is wrong, and how do I fix it?
Needless to say the phone freaks out after this, since all my applications are installed on the extended memory, so nothing works anymore, but a soft reset and it's all back to normal. Untill I try the connection again :-/
As mentioned, there is no problem with Active sync connections.
I really hope you can help me with this, because it would make the phone even more useful to me.
That being said I DO love the phone, it really has the ability to do almost anything I'd like it to. Incredible!
Thank you in advance for your help, and for at great source of knowledge.
Best regards
Thomas Hansen

It's normal, the phones switchs the memory readable directly from PC, as a pen drive to gain more speed.
If u are using the USB Disk function, u can't read the memory in the phone, bcuz u don't have "inserted" into it...
Bye!

Thank you for you answer, but I probably wasn't clear enough about the problem:
The 4 GB flash memory is inaccessable from both PC and phone after I plug in the usb cable (it disappears), but I CAN access the "system memory" (where windows is installed) from both ends.
So no, I dont think that is what I am experiencing. I hope this made it more clear.
How do I fix my problem?
Thank you for your help though.
Best regards

sounds like the 1st free drive letter on your system is reserved for a network path.
try to disconnect the network drive or map the USB Drive manually.

Draque
ps: Try it on a complete different system if this doesnt work.

I had tried it on 4 different PCs, all running XP.
Have no network drives on this one.
But, I'm confused now...
Because now it works correctly...
It opens the correct folder, for the 4 GB storage card...
And the phone doesnt crash afterwards...
I suspect an "Insufficient User IQ" kind of error... I just don't know what I did wrong?
If I learn more about this wierd issue I will post it here, and if you have any info, please post it, because I dont know what went wrong...
But right now my problem is solved! Hope it stays like this!
Well, Thank you for your advise everybody.
Best regards

strange i went from JACxHERO2.1 to drizzys and both had the same result. a friend would take a picture and send it to me. instead of seeing a thumbnail i get a download link. once i hit download it would finish then say email was unsuccessful downloading. this was from multiple people sending pics not just one. same issue with or without wifi and on or off 3G.

@h.nocturna
do you have the data plan???

Never have had any problems with MMS either.
But at incoming calls the sound in my BT headset cuts out at more than half of the calls.

HELP- Sprint Diamond, I think I lost the Internal Storage

I had to much stuff loaded on my phone, so I was running out of memory. I then reset the phone by using the Clear Storage, it worked great. But then I went in and told it to format the Internal Storage, as I forgot to do that part.
Now I have lost my Internal Storage. It is using the Main Program memory for this now, is there ANY way that I can get this back?
Thanks,
Bryan

Recover your internal storage
Same thing happened to me recently.
What you have to do:*Warning* You may lose the info stored in your internal storage.
Connect your phone to your pc with usb cord. Choose the disk drive option on your phone. Your pc should show that you have a usb connection at one of your various drives (e, f, g, etc.). On your pc, open "My Computer" and right click on the usb drive that popped up when your phone was connected. Select Format. *Warning* This may cause your pc to freeze, but don't be alarmed! You may have to try this several times. When this goes through, choose quick format and fat 32. After you get a message saying the drive is formatted, disconnect your phone and soft reset. When your phone comes back on, you should have your internal storage back. Once again you may have to try this several times. Sorry if this is not totally clear, but I am exhausted and will check back to see if you got it.

This also happened to me but I didn't really care about the stuff I lost so I was able to get a "brand new" phone from sprint

solution
the way I got mine to work was by doing a hard reset and by flashing the newest rom from htc. Sprint diamonds happen to have alot of these problems so they have a rom that has a fix for it. Hope this helps!!!

Internal storage

Thanks mass for posting this. I've seen countless posts reporting this problem, but never a solution. Couldn't find answer to this though: To do a ROM upgrade, do you have to go through all the SPL, .ruu, bootloader, super technical stuff that seems to be way over my head? Or, using Opera, can you just click the download link on htc site (couldn't find answer on htc site) ? Thanks much for your post.

O2 XDA Stellar: Booting problem following Windows Live install

Hi guys, need your help.
Short version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla WM6.0. tried to install Windows Live but had to soft reset before it ended. now stuck at the green boot screen.
what besides hard reseting can i do? i don't mind breaking the device if i have to, but i want my data back. particularly my text messages. everything else that i need is backed up.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
what i've tried:
- soft reseting a number of times
- remove SD card
- removing sim card
- removing Battery for a couple of minutes before putting it back in
- connecting USB cable. "nothing pops-up on computer"
- SMSing it. "it rings"
- pressing all buttons on surface of device.
no success
thanks for any help
Long version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla 6.0. today i downloaded Windows Live for windows mobile to update the one i already had on my device. while it was installing before it reached the end, i got a pop-up telling me that i was running out of space. and it just stayed like that, progress bar wouldn't move. so i went to the device deleted a couple of pictures and tried to cut/paste the voice notes from device to storage card. it refused to allow it. so i decided to soft reset.
when i did soft reset, it got to the green boot screen and is stuck there.
after along wait, i get a white screen telling me the device can't boot because i might have "turned off the device incorrectly" or installed an insecure software and that my only option is to hard reset and lose everything.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
Thanks

And no mention of a Hard-Reset?

are you saying that there is absolutely no way to read the memory on the phone beside doing it when the WinMobile OS is running right?
that sounds like a completely stupid design. its like having windows without a start disk that gives you access to a command prompt.
having to lose all your data over some OS data corruption is ridiculous
i would really appreciate it if anyone knows a way, even an expensive one.
i just had text messages from someone dear to me that passed away that i'd rather not lose.
thank you

Some other things to try
Yes you can check whether the sms messages are stored on the sim card (by putting it in another phone/using a sim card reader). On my TyTN II, the SMS Messages are stored there and it's only emails that use phone or memory card memory. You could also try removing the Sim before booting (one thing not on your 'tried' list but if all this fails, the only other thing I can think of short of a hard reset, is contacting Microsoft about their Windows Live software. There's a website for support of these products and Microsoft staff will actually get back to you (I had need to contact them over a bug in the email portion of their software some time ago). Best wishes

seeing as i have over 2000+ messages in there, i don't think the sim card could actually help me in this case.
but thanks anyway
i still can't believe they made a phone with a memory that could only be accessed through the OS

Including any additional way of accessing it uses up more storage memory for the relevant program and on a mobile device (unlike a desktop PC), that's very valuable space. Maybe some of your sms messages (the most important ones) may be on the sim - you have little to loose by checking. What about trying to boot it without the sim card in or contacting Microsoft as I mentioned? Not all your options have run out yet but you seem to write as if they are....

@Flying Kiwi
thanks for replying. i actually did try to boot it without the sim card after you suggested it. it didn't work.
and with regards to contacting Microsoft, i'll give that a go but i doubt they'll be able to help if people here can't. as we all know, XDA Developers kick ass.
with regards to checking the sim for the messages, i don't have a spare phone to try it on just now, and if i remember correctly, sim cards don't usually hold more then 15 text, though i might be wrong.
the thing is, the fact that my phone still rings when it receives a messages, kinda makes me think the OS is partially loading. i was hoping someone could suggest a way for me to force enough of it on to reach my files..
am starting to lose hope.. *sigh*
am really thankful to the people who have replied so far.
P.S. oh yeah, Flying Kiwi, could you give me a link to the WM6 support page that where people actually reply to you since i can't find any support besides that to MSDN account holders, either that or paying £200 for one single phone call that last upto 8 hours at which point it could just end up with them just telling me to hard reset. thanks

can anyone help me out here? anyone with a link or an email address i can get support from Microsoft for WM6?

i have a similar problem, is there anyway to get data from phone if the OS is corrupt and the system is stuck at the green bootup screen?
please say yes.
