Hi. Can anyone tell me where the data is stored on the PDA for in-built software such as Calendar, Contacts etc. I've looked through the registry and folder structure on the internal memory but have been unable to find the data.
Can anyone also confirm if there is any way of moving all of this data to the Memory card rather than internal memory ?
Thanks for any help,
Alex.
I have a problem accessing my Outlook Data from any Windows Mobile 2005 device. This is due to the large capacity of my pim.vol file which is 80MB !!
I was wondering if there is a way to make the device accessing this file from the Storage Card instead from the main memory. This will solve the problem.
Looking forward urgently for your replies
Thanks
I too am wondering if there is a way to make the device accessing this file from the Storage Card instead from the main memory.
i have a question about memory on my phone..
SD card = 7.40GB / 5.38GB free
INternalStorage = 6.4GB / 6.17GB Free?
phone memory = 748MB / 83.7MB free..
how can i utilize the Internal Storage? for contacts perhaps or pics, movies, music, aps?

Use a file explorer like Astro or ES File Explorer to manually place files (pics, movies, music) on the internal memory. Otherwise, plug your phone into a computer and place the files onto the internal memory. Courtesy of HTC, apps save to the "Phone Memory" using 150 mb's of the 748 mb. The main alternate save location for apps is the sd card thus the reason there is a "Move to sd card" option within each app's settings under "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications."

i have done it threw the computer before.. and i have a file manager.. but it only see the one SD card.. the extrnal one..
the computer sees the 2 Different Cards..
but when i try to find the internal SD card threw a file managers on the phone i can not see where it is.. i see it in settings... but when ever i try to use a file manager or ap manager it only gives me the external card to move aps to?
The 6 GB's of internal memory is listed as "emmc" and is inaccessible only if the rom dev says so. I'm not sure you are searching for the proper term, are you able to see "emmc" within your file manager? I took a look at Wildstang's Desired HD thread and his latest version supports emmc (internal memory). If I recall correctly, earlier versions did not have access to internal GB (the 6GB's of space) because the port is from a phone with no internal storage but this is no longer the case. You should be able to move photos, videos, music to emmc especially since you said have access to it via your computer.
1) Are you on his latest update?
2) What specifically are you asking for help with (moving apps or simply accessing that space)?
Edit: For moving apps, the most I know is that you can move apps to sd or back to your phone. In regards to expanding the 150mb partition of your internal memory, I have no experience doing so. Hopefully someone else can provide input on this.

thank you for the explanation..
i beleave i am running the latest version. (V.5) of Wildstang
yeah i was just wondering if there was a way to move contacts and aps to that internal memory so the other phone memory would be less crowded and maybe run smoother.
i dont understand how this memory is being used.. there is an internal SD memory.. that i guess is partitioned.. and the smaller partition is used for all the functions of the phone? what is the larger partition used for then?
so i can drop images and music to that section then from the PC
and put aps on the external SD only..
I believe I misinformed you, the 748mb's of of phone storage is all for apps. Im trying to recall where and why I got 150 mb's from.
748 mb = app storage
6.x gb of internal storage (emmc) = Whatever you want to save (music, videos, photos)
7.4 gb sd card = save music, videos, some apps, photos
Hope that clarifies appropriately.
But to use the internal storage, just copy and paste movie or music files to the emmc (if using file explorer on your phone) or using your computer into either "Mp3" folder or "Video" on the Internal memory. I don't play movies on my phone so I don't have experience with that at all. You'll know which is the internal memory vs. Sd card memory if you just look at the space available to identify one from the other.
I connected my phone to my computer and was looking at the Folders in Windows Explorer. Using Windows 7.
Under Removable Disk it showed 15 folders. Are these in internal storage or on my SD card? How can I tell where something is stored? How can I just look at one location?
Thanks, cb
That would be the contents of your sd card.
Look around, just don't delete anything unless you know for sure it's not something you want to keep, such as old photos, music etc.
Most of the folders are pretty self explanatory. Such as Dcim/camera, if you look here you will find the pictures that are stored on the sc card.
Hi, so got my M8 a few days and is my first time with kitkat, which is giving me some problems.
First is where has all my storage space gone, installed some and games and now only have 4gb left on 16gb phone?
A quick at storage settings and it usage shows
Apps 7gb
Other 5gb
Music and phones just a few hundred mb.
So what is this other category?
I have installed NFS most wanted, but i used to be able to store the data files on ext SDcard, same for MC4!
I tried moving NFC to ext sdcard, it moves the app, but it does not move the data?
If use the HTC Make more Space feature it shows apps at taking only 0.9 gb
I know kitkat has screwed up ext sdcard access, but why can't it move data to sdcard when i moves app ok?
The other issue i have with storage on ext sdcard is organising files, i have edited storage setting so everything is stored on ext sdcard.
I am photographer so being able to organise my images into folders is important, but how the hell can this be done with kitkat for files on ext sdcard as now file and photo mangers cannot write to ext sdcard?
If use the HTC Make more space available feature under storage it just moves all photos to one big folder on ext sdcard?
I tried the HTC Sync software on OSX and can create a new album and add photos stored ext sdcard to it, but it just creates the new album on internal memory and not ext scard?
This is so f***Up
There is not even any rime or reason with google apps, snapseed writes edited files to its own folder outside of gallery or dcim folder, and there is no way selecting what folder you want to write to?
I really don't want to root phone as need to be able to use banking apps that won't work with rooted phones.
Aside from having to remove sdcard every time to want to add or organise files on sdcard i am at a loss as to what to do?
really not happy with this new write restriction, even though the intention are good.
Any ideas welcome
thanks
