Save some Storage Memory!! - Page 2

**Biker1** · #11 (**permalink**) 06-26-2009, 11:12 AM

I am experiencing the following problem accessing Device Windows folders in File Explorer:
1) I was browsing through Device windows folders yesterday without a problem.
I exited.
2) I went back into File Explorer to view the folders again but all I got was the color wheel spinning. The heading said File Explorer/Windows but the page was blank except for the color wheel.
3) I would hit the home button to exit File Explorer.
4) My Diamond slowed up and would freeze, etc.
5) I would soft reset and the freezing would stop but when I would click on File Explorer, the Windows heading would appear with a blank screen and a repeat of the above would happen. I tried multiple soft resets.
6) After a few minutes though, I would click on File Explorer, the Device/Windows heading was there and so were the folders BUT when I would exit Windows and come back to Windows, the same issues would repeat themselves. This has happened at least 8 times.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

At least I am able to get into File Explorer after a period of time but I am unable to get into Device Windows after exiting it and then it takes awhile to get my Diamond back to normal.

Running stock 2.00 ROM

UPDATE:
I cannot get into File Explorer for 45 minutes.
When I click on File Explorer, the Device Windows screen appears with the color wheel and I have to go thru the whole soft reset process due to freezing etc.
Its getting to where I don't click on File Explorer because I don't know if the Windows screen with all the issues will appear.
I would like to reset Device Windows but don't know how and if that is possible? as I think that may resolve this issue or maybe something similar is a fix .

I let the color wheel spin for 3 or more minutes and the Device windows folders appeared.
Has happened a couple of times already but at least I have access.
It used to search for only seconds before this issue popped up.

Where in windows is the "Touch Mobile Guide" located?

**Biker1** · #14 (**permalink**) 06-27-2009, 01:30 PM

In Device Windows.
Keep pressing Name in upper right hand corner until you see Touch Mobile? Guide, as it changes the list of names on the first page.
You have to scroll alittle bit down the first page until you see it.
Initially when I first saw the Touch Guide folder , I could not find it again as the page looked different. I then realized that changing the Name changed the page listings.
May not be explaining it in the best technical jargon, but that is how I found the file again.
Btw, I saved almost 8mb of memory in Main Memory Storage by deleting the Touch Guide.

I see TeleNav uses alot of device memory. I use Google Maps so if I delete all associated TeleNav files, can I download them at a later date?
Does freeing up Device storage memory make the device run smoother?
I thought it did at first but I am not sure.

UPDATE:

I deleted>>
1) Touch Mobile Guide: approx. 8 MB
2) Telenav: approx. 4 MB

Total Main Storage Memory freed up by deleting 2 folders and all associated files is approx. 12 MB

Total: 91.05 MB
In use: 54.27 MB
Free: 36.77 MB

What to do with all this freed up memory?
I found that there are cabs to download Telenav if I ever need to.

I have the stock 2.00 ROM.
I had approx 24.5 MB before deleting the Guide. I had 32 MB Memory afterwards.
Deleted Telenav and had 36 MB left.

Do you have either of those 2 programs in your Program Menu?
If not, then yes he did, I would say.

do you have a reg file made for this? or could you tell me where on the device they are?
