Some questions on user experiences with WM2005

Hi guys, don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but I've notcied 2 outstanding issues with my BA running WM2005.
1. I can't seem to delete programs after I load them using the ADD / Remove Programs Applet. Any workaround?
2. Really not enough memory to use even when I save everything to the SD card. Any fixes on the 60MB Storage limit yet?
Thanks alot.

I don't have problem 1, but I do have problem 2.

Bluetooth receiving - How to receive to internal storage?

Good day to all
I'm trying to receive a 180mb video from my friend over BT (Since there is no micro SD slot ), How do you save to internal storage?
When my friend sends the file, first thing is that it tells me I'm receiving a file and only an option to cancel.
Then a few minutes later it tells me that the memory is full.
I think it's trying to save it to the phones storage rather than the 4GB.
I went to the FTP tab in bluetooth settings and changed the location to the internal storage. This didn't seem to have an impact.
I had a look through the options in advanced config but no joy.
How can you change the default location?
How can you ask to be prompted where to save files.
Just another complaint for WM6.1 is that when you change the default location it doesn't open a half decent browser, you can't even create a new directory.
This is Windows Mobile 6.1 and I can't believe they haven't resolved these issues since they were raised in their first version.
Can't wait for a version of Linux to come out for the mobile market that will have touch flo style.

I too have this problem !

Anyone managed to figure this out ???
really annoying not to be able to receive large bluetooth files

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304246
It gives you:
- Name of receiving file.
- Size of receiving file.
- Name of sending device.
- Shows progress bar while receiving.
- Simple one-touche searche bluetooth device Logs.
You can save received files directly to the SD card!

Questions for Spb Mobile Shell 3 users

Hi all,
First of, sorry for this long boring explanation in detail.
I'm a newbie & can't stand the Full QWERTY. So the first thing I upgraded was the Ezinput.
apparently I installed the wrong version QVGA I think. & messed up the keyboard. I had to do a hard reset, installed the EzInput_2.0.343770-VGA.CAB. THEN, the XT9 didn't work, but I ignored that problem, few days later, I installed a few other programs & for some reasons I have been able to enable the XT9 option. I dont know how & why.
When I text, the space button sometimes doesnt work. blah...weird stuff.
Ever since, I'm reluctant to try out any programs. So, before I install this program, I'd really need your advice.
1. How do you compare this program with the TouchFlo 3D?
I'd assume that using spb Mobile Shell 3, you will disable the TouchFLO 3D? (Start > Settings > all settings > Personal > Today > Items)
I notice that if I disable the TouchFLO 3D , the memory useage will be reduced by 10%, & when you install & use the spb Mobile Shell, will the program consume more of the memory useage & slow the phone down?
Thanks for any info.
p.s. the phone's currently having:
- EzInput_2.0.343770-VGA.CAB on the main memory (I think the input will be faster if I install it on the main memory instead of the storage card)
- Lextionary (dictionary) on Storage card
- Finix on Storage card
- Sprite backup on Storage card
- PowerSMS on Storage card
- SuperDoku on Storage card
- Skyfire on Storage card
After a soft reset, the memory usage indicates 48%.
During the day, I notice the memory usage shows 55% - 70% is that too high? normal?
Thanks.

Your memory usage is normal, but why have you got powersms on the storage card? You do realise that every time your phone goes to sleep that the storage card gets turned off? That means that any programs that were running in the background from the storage card get stopped. Looking at the feature list of powersms it seems to me that it needs to at least run a process in the background to do things like auto reply and schedule sms, it may even totally replace the built in SMS application. By having it on the SD card one of two things will happen, either the application will exit and not work as it should, or it will keep the SD card powered up in sleep mode and reduce your battery lifetime. The Diamond 2 has no shortage of built in storage memory, make use of it the way it was designed to be used.

Great point. Thanks shuflie.
Ok, I'll put PowerSMS on the main memory then. I was worried that it'll eat up the memory & slow down the phone.
I use PowerSMS for 1 single purpose: group messages.
My calendar can do the rest of the features offered by PowerSMS.
btw, how do you like the spb mobile shell 3 vs the TouchFLO 3D?
Thanks again.

To be honest I haven't tried it, read that it basically just a bit of winddressing and when you try to actually do anything you're right back into WM6.1 standard apps. I like the way that TF3D isolates me from that as much as possible.

When I had my TD1, I switched off TF3D after a few days use and installed SPB Mobile Shell instead. I got my TD2 a few days ago and made the point to test out the improved TF3D - to give it a chance, so to speak. However after a couple of days, I moved back to Mobile Shell, to the latest V3. MS3 can be easily customised, and to me, is faster and more powerful than TF3D. There are a few bugs with MS3 on TD2, eg. duplicate contacts and inability to delete call history. However the latest V3.01 Beta which has just been released have fixed these 2 issues. Having said that, there is still one annoying bug - inability to use the Contacts soft button that is on the TD2 dial pad. Hopefully SPB can fix this soon. Overall, very happy with MS3.
P/S - there's one tab on TF3D that I love - Stocks (run off Yahoo I believe). If only I can get this Stocks feature as a widget in MS3; that would be perfect!

with the ms3 can i still link my windows live phonebook with the phonebook on the phone. i really like this feature as it means i don't need to add new numbers when i get a new phone.
If it can do this, then i might move to MS3

I did not try it, but I believe you can...

Main Memory Low

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.

Saving apps to MicroSD card

Hi All,
Not very technical so looking for your professional help! Having trouble with nearly full memory on my Samsung Omnia II (Verizon). Have already deleted cookies/cache/browsing history. I want to save all my apps to the MicroSD card but am told I can only save pictures, videos and music to the MicroSD card. I've changed the setting in Windows Marketplace to Select Default Install Location as \Storage Card - but the apps are still saving to Device.
Is there a way to save all my apps to the card and not the device??
Thanks!
EXCELSIOR!

checkout sktools. it has programs to move files data etc and tell the system what it has done. its not free but its definitely worth it. many many features.

Not a pro.. but.. how about dont use Microsoft marketplace.. however, I know you can play with the registry to change the default directory... im sure you can look it up..or someone can post the link.
