RAM and ROM on 8525?

[geronemo]

Hi,
Previously i had a HP 6365.
and one could very easily choose if we wanted to increase the storage or program memory but moving a simple bar.

this is not present in 8525.
although it has 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM.

total storage shown is 44.77MB
and total program memory shown is 48.77MB (where is the rest??)

is there a way to adjust this??
because i have only 3.2MB of storage available and 19.5MB or program memory available, although i always store programs on the microSD.

pls. shed some light,
Thanku for reading and answering.

Regards.

That program memory is your Ram... If you could cut that down your Hermes would run A LOT slower... Use total commander or, if you have it, resco explorer to see whats in your program directory on the phone itself... Backup 1st, then cut and paste to the sd card and remake the shortcuts in the windows directory.. Please remember though that some programs NEED to be on the Hermes.
Also check in the My Documents directory. You should store as much on the sd card as possible but the default storage location is on the Hermes...

Moving as much off the device memory will give you more storage space, but remember, it is limited...

Cheers...:D

wow..
thats an excellent suggestion.
iam working on that advice.

also wanted to ask u one more thing.
my 8525 has 64MB RAM
then why is it that it only shows 48MB total under programs??
what i mean is shouldnt it be showing 64MB total available???

thanku very much for answering :)

No, because the OS is using some. Also the extra programs that were installed with the os use Ram too.
