This seems to happen now and then, and I do not know why. I have read a few posts on the subject here on Aximsite. Seach the threads to find these posts, but if my memory serves correctly, it is not always an easy fix, and sometimes means a return of the unit to Dell if it is not easily corrected. Good luck, and good hunting.

:( the tech support guys here in singapore are not believing me that i have indeed lost the builtin storage on the pda. i sent them this link but they want more?
can someone point me to a list of threads (or a single large one) which kind of shows that there are others who have had these issues in the past. So that I can then tell the support guys that here have a look for yourself. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I've read all the posts I can find regarding memory, and I'm still having trouble freeing up main memory. I've installed all programs to sd/cf cards, and though I do realize that some files will copy themselves to main memory, I'm looking at 5.04 free in storage and 12.34 free in program memory.

Nothing is running in the background, i've checked with memaid, and even moved my ie cache to the sd. I'm running pocketweather, pocketplus, pocketbreeze and ilauncher. Is there something i'm missing?

Try going through the main memory directory tree... check each entry to ensure that there are not some files that were written there, or that some program is not still writting its "saves" to the main memory. Hmmmm, can;t think of anything else right off hand, especially if you have move the Explorer to the card. Try cleaning with Memmaid again, just to be sure.

hope this helps
From the description of the 128 megs of "ROM" BIS it's essentially actually either an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memomry) microchip or FLASH microchip - since it's non-volatile memory (does not lose memory when batteries are dead)

Traditional EEPROM chips of 10 years ago have Write-Erase durability of 10,000 cycles.

Flash chips have higher durability cycles of 100,000 cycles or up to 500,000 cycles depending on the manufacturer - BUT Flash chips have a problem where if you want to make any small change to it, what it does is actually :
1. read entire content of flash block
2. erase entire content of flash block
3. rewrite entire content of flash block with new changes
(a flash block can be anywhere from 0.5MB to ?MB)

This is different from EEPROM where changes are only made on byte level - where if changes required on one byte, only that byte is changed...

Does anyone know who manufactures our "ROM" and whether it's FLASH memory or EEPROM memory?

If our BIS is FLASH, then we must be careful that we don't store any programs which will write and erase a lot of "temporary" files - or else we will use up our 100,000 cycles pretty quickly...

stoneraven9 - I have spent several hours today reading this thread, thank you it has helped me considerably with figuring out were to put what on my X30H. I do have one question, actually it was an earlier post that I didn't see a reply to, about the mass of icons that are stored on main memory by PocketInformant. Can these be moved to SD card? Will that affect the running of PI? thanks for this great wealth of information.
