Hi,
T-Mobile offered my a Defy as part of my contract renewal and I've got a couple of questions:
1. Does the Defy store apps to the SD card by default? I've searched some posts and there is repeated mention of 2Gb of internal storage but the specs say 512Mb RAM. Is the 2Gb storage in addition to the SD card (I'll be using a 16Gb SD card from my HD2)
2. Is it possible to just turn Blur off? I've seen threads about removing it but I'm wondering if it's like HTC Sense where you just change the default Home screen?
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
first of all, I'm german so plz apologize my bad english...
1. Defy has 512MB RAM plus an internal storage of 2GB, about 1,2GB can be used for installing apps. Inserting an SD card (mine hat an 2GB card enclosed) will add to the mentioned storage and can be used für images, videos, music etc.
Your Defy should by standard have Andoid 2.1 running, therefor apps won't be installed to SD. This feature imho is avaiable since Android 2.2
2. Motoblur isn't just a launcher. It is a service provided by Motorola and can be used for facebook contact sync etc...

Hi guys,
I have recently purchased an xda2i PDA and I was wondering what is the best way or if there is a solution to convert the PPC in to a mobile mp3 HDD player; I 've been reading about the backpack and I am a bit confused, ideally it would be nice if an external portable HDD could be added to the PPC via the SD slot. The PDA can only read a maximum of 1GB storage area via the SD memory card making the storage size very limited, hence increasing the storage size from 1 GB to 20 GB or more would be great!
Look forward to read your comments

Impossible via SD. Please read my explanation at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...a_s_without_a_cf_card_slot_and_usb_hos&more=1
On Polish PDAClub forum we started disscusion re VM ( Virtual Memory ) for PDA - posssibility to move paging pool form RAM to SD card.
As we can see on this article SD Card can be faster then RAM , so we can create BIG paging pool on SD Card and have moer free RAM and :"maybe " much faster Universal.
@Mamaich - could you can help us with this solution ?
resuming this thread...could it be possible?

Storage cards are two or even three orders of magnitude slower than RAM in cases; this is why they can't be used at all as, for example, dynamic program/system memory.

Your idea would make your device slower than a punch card computer.

Hi, I have a smartphone woth WM6 on it.
Its great but obviouly slow. What can i take off the phone to freeup more of the devices internal memory.
I have a 1gb card installed, is there anyway to set up memory paging onto the card?
Thanks,
Michael.
yes i have this same issue.
it depends on which device you have. depending on the processor you can overclock. You can also change the page pool size which frees up more memory.
You also disable a lot of the junk that the carriers place on them.
Which phone do you have?
what to do to increase the main memory?
closing programs rather then minimizing them
and maybe stopping auto started programs by removing
their shortcuts in \windows\startup
are your only options
unless there are more empty mem spaces on the pcb like on universal
Thank you for the answer, but what I wanted to know is the way off increase the memory physically.
Thanks

there isn't a way to increase the memory. If you change the ROM, you may end up with more free (depends on which ROM, each one uses a different amount of memory).
"Thank you for the answer, but what I wanted to know is the way off increase the memory physically.

yes thats what i ment by
"unless there are more empty mem spaces on the pcb like on universal"
very few htc devices which been able to upgrade mem
and those that have only if one was handy at solvering smd components
and making a custom rom which was able to see the new mem
which one had to stick with and not upgrade to newer rom versions
unless they too was custom made to see the new mem
at the end of the day it could be more trouble then it was worth
and be more pricy then the artemis was worth
For increase recording memory of HTC P3300 Artemis
Hello!!!
In my HTC P3300 I have this situation: recording memory total 32.45MB and Used 27.12MB (Free only 5,33MB); Program Memory total 47.90MB and Used 26.00MB (free 21,90MB).I don't understand because all the new programs are installed only in the recording memory and not in program memory.
I have the problem of recording memory.When i'm installing a new program, i can doing in external micro sd card?or in program memory?I think is not possible.
In My HTC P3300 working this program: Tom Tom 6.030 west europe map;Swissgeo map: Phone phad Dark; Opera 9.5 beta.When i use opera for internet my HTC show the message :recording memory full.I haved erase sms, MMS and E-mail message and i have only 5,33MB. (before installing of opera 9.5 i have'd 12MB free).
I want ask if is possible erase a part of program that not cause error (for example in TOM TOM i use the Italian language,is possible erase the france language or other).
Excuse me for my English not very well.
Thank you very much.
Hi there, I just browsing thru all the created threads,....about increasing the memory ....it will increased if we flash our rom thhru our SD card rite?....the base will be the capacity of the SD card....to run an application will be much more smoother....with high RAM....isnt it.?
Will this work?
nopz there is no way to increase RAM through Memory Card, but it gives me an idea of Virtual Memory.
Any thoughts?
Virtual memory is where I was leaning too. A picture edit program I seen uses this to edit large files. Memory cards are getting faster and faster. Now I'm looking for some virtual mem for my Hermes.

Gotta remember the flash memory used in memory cards does have a read/write lifetime......virtual memory is used repeatedly many many times and would probably lessen the lifetime of your flash memory.
I dunno what the bandwidth is on hardwired ROM/RAM in the Hermes but id take a guess its alot higher than that used on microSD????
Would be interesting to see if a virtual memory driver would be any good?!
dont believe that a driver would be enough
the core of the os would have to support it
another thing to take into acount is that sd are getting faster
but the sd interface of the pda cant keep up
and writes are much slower then reads with flash
That's true with interface speed. I guess if it were possible we'd have a program that uses the Ext Rom 10mb for Virtual. Would be interesting though.
In Task Manager supplied with Schaps 4.30 ROM, there is a mention of Virtual Memory.... What's that?

That's just the Virtual Ram from the built in RAM. I'm looking for a way to utilize the 10mb Ext Rom or even the Storage card for this. The 10mb Ext Rom would be the best thing if you could use it, since the communication between the chipset and the Ext Rom would be quicker than that of the Storage Card. I'm starting to think it isn't going to happen though.
