i need help with both the program and storage memory on the device itself...

first, the program memory, say i would have only one program open like right now I am on opera browser and it says about 1mb available. i would go to tasks and end it... then it would say about 3 mb available with no programs open.. i always notice that it has the most after a soft reset... any way to rectify that? i need help because it moves sooooo sluggish

2nd i need help freeing up storage memory on the device, i have tried everything i know of... deleting cookies , deleting every possible file that I put on it, including pics music sounds.. everything! even uninstalling some programs...(I usually install on storage card anyway)
every folder is virtally empty in regards to files that I put there myself...

the last thing for me to do is delete text messages but I have another post discussing why thats a problem

please help me with this, i feel its also causing the phone to move a little sluggish
any suggestions?

Ok, here's some advice, and some software. Both are free, and neither will take offense if ignored.

Load and run ClearTemp: http://mobile-sg.com/software/download.asp?dl=ClearTemp&platform=ppc
It will clear all of your temp files, cookies, etc.

Use a file explorer tool (the built-in one will do) to navigate to your Programs folder and remove all dead wood. Many programs leave behind configuration files and unpacked libraries when uninstalled. This goes double for anything that is customizable. You'll chew up a LOT of memory loading skinning programs and the like. Get an SD card, and leave that stuff on it, instead of the main memory.

Also, look through the Windows\Startup folder and see what's being started up on boot. You may be surprised just how many programs are running without being reported to your task manager. Any Windows user should be used to this. Delete any links to features you recognize and don't want to run at startup.

Optional: read the overclocking thread. Overclocking speeds up your processor. Most people experience significant improvement just increasing clock speed from 195 (default) to around 240, without any side-effects. Thread:

Lastly, if you're loading programs to an SD chip, you must be prepared for slower response on loading them. Wizard is slow in reading and especially writing to SD card.

What rom are you using? you might want to switch. task manager 2.9/or 2.7 will show you what is actualy causing the memory to dissapeare. for mine it is device.exe and another program gwes.exe that deals with activesync. in most cases that is the problem and the only way to rectify that is to change the OS because it probably hasn't been ported right (device exe)
also update your signature so that it will list your devece, OS, Ipl Spl Gsm versions. that way people will have more information and be able to give you better advice.
