I-Mate SP5 Low Memory

[Woody_XDA]

Does anyone know any way to store all contacts,emails and text messages to the mini-sd card on the SP5.

I don't seem to be able to find an option to do so.

Thanks

You can't. All those databases are stored in internal memory, and cannot be moved to the miniSD card.

Found this on another forum and it works perfectly have sync'd all my mail and attachments to the SD Card :

Email & Attachments on Storage Card
Forgive me if this has been posted before. Or if you all know this. I used to do this on my PPC before I got my smartphone (sp5). I just tried it to see if it would work and it does
Create the folders on your Storage Card '\Storage Card\Inbox' and the subfolder '\Attachments'
Import the registry keys as below. (try Registry Workshop and you can connect to Mobile device registries from your PC and import reg files. This saves having a Registry editor installed on the phone and typing on the device). If you are entering these keys manually rather than importing a *.reg file only use single slashes for the paths. Restart your device after doing this.
CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI]
"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"

This not only puts email attachments onto your storage card but puts all the *.mpb files which make up items in your Inbox onto the storage card too. This means I now sync the last month of complete emails (1362 of them!) from all folders on my Exchange server and it doesn't make a dent in the phone memory.

For anyone that needs it here is the reg key attached just import it into the registry of the SP5


tis a text file here, just open it and re-save it as map1.reg and you got the reg key you need.

Anything can be moved to external storage with a few registry tweaks. What you have to consider is decreased performance on those moved items vs. having additional memory resources available internally. :wink:

guys, I am a little slow on this. can someone pls write down a step-by-step how to do implenment? or at least specify to what directory map1.reg should be saved for this to work?

[RamyG]

I followed the instructions as given (created the folders on the card and imported the reg file to the registry using Registry Workshop). My SP5 does not put e mails & attachment on the storage card. (I rebooted the device, deleted the e mails on the device and resyched, but no go.
I recently upgraded ROM to 2.5.331.2 could this be the issue?
anh help or hint will be much appreciated.

ops:

HelP!

I downloaded Woody's text file, saved it as map1.reg, and using Registry Workshop tried to import it into the SP5 Registry (connected to mobile).

I got an error message saying, "Cannot Modify Value...Access is Denied" the the contents of the key were displayed (\...\Attachments)

Any ideas what I did wrong?
