Missing Storage Memory

renegade339 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-22-2010, 12:30 PM

Am I missing something here, besides storage memory? My phone shows to have a total of 192.8MB instead of 288MB (according to tech specs)!!

Is this a phone problem that I need to have sprint take care of or is it another issue? I already did a hard reset. The screen shot was taken just after a reset and restoring my contacts. HELP!

Actually, it's 192.8 out of 512, and 183.18 out of 288

Go to Start-Settings-System-DeviceInformation, Hardware tab and you can see how the 288 RAM and 512 ROM are allocated.

The issue you have is not so much the 192 - it's the 173.91 used!!

When you say contacts, is it just contacts or other files? Something very wrong with 173!

If you can, do a hard reset, nothing else, and post those numbers.

By comparison, I'm running a 6.5.5 Calk build, and my Storage numbers after a hard reset are:

279.96 Total
33.01 In Use
246.95 Free

And when I restore 500 contacts, the 33.01 goes to 38.66.

Actually, it's got a fair amount on it - Sprint Nav, Sprint TV, Sense 2.5, Opera 9.7, Bing, Facebook, Adobe LE, Office, Google Maps.

But not terribly loaded, no. Just experimenting and will add more next build

And this is after a hard reset before any cab installs.
