I have a 2G SD card so put most apps on that. How can I free up some of the Internal Memory to allocate it to running apps instead of storage? . Already hit a problemS in trying to take a quick snap, but has to free up memory before it ran, thius the moment was lost !!!!

have you got X-Button set to actually close programs?

Start -> Settings -> System -> X-Button

Select "Enable the "X" button to end running programs"

Another thing to check is that you are saving Pics/Vids to Storage Card rather than My Documents on the Phone Memory.

Hope this Helps :)

To free up more RAM memory, after closing all running programs, it is also useful execute the free application Oxios Hibernate.

To free up more ROM memory, after closing all running programs, it is also useful execute the free application Oxios Hibernate.

Sorry if stupid question, but what does that do?

After a soft reset we have the maximum size of available ram memory.
When we close all running programs the size of ram free is smaller than maximum.
Hibernate or other similar application enable you to unlock further ram memory not in use and, therefore, to obtain a size near the maximum.

if you are using wm6 just enable X button
Start -> Settings -> System -> Task -> Enable X-Button
if you are using wm5 download X button from wiki xda-developers and Start -> Settings -> System -> Task -> Enable X-Button

by the way you will still need need to soft reset ur device once in a while say once a week
