N96 - updating to V20 with only little memory left

Hello
I'd like to install the new firmware for my N96 but I don't want to do it without advice:
My C: drive on the phone is nearly full - about 8MB left and a few times a day, especially when I'm using maps, web and music player at once, it says: memory almost full, delete some data (or something like that, it's a translation from dutch). I tried to empty this drive a bit, but it isn't possible I think. No music, photo, video or documents on that drive. I just installed too much apps (I always put them on the C drive to be sure it works good).
So, in fact: two questions:
- Is there a way to get rid of some data on my C drive?
- Should I install the V20 firmware with only little space left on the C: drive?
Thanks for your help!

i never install applications on C drive, i always install them on my memory card, always ( i have a N78), and i have never once had a problem. make sure that you are using a reliable memory card too, such as Sandisk, but not Kingston or especially Transcend, as there have been many reported problems with them. you are lucky too in that you have mass memory on N96 (the 16gb space) so install there even if you do not want to install applications on your memory card. i find that installing applications on the memory card and not C drive makes no difference in speed of the applications. but its always better to keep as much space available on C drive, as happens with computers, so the device isn't slowed down in operation and you don't get the Memory Full warnings.
i would backup all your data first and do upgrade to v20.050. even though N96 has User Data Preservation, i would do another hard reset after the firmware upgrade to make sure everything is clean. then restore all your applications and stuff back.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Little Memory Left

Hello guys
I have a Curve 9360 and here's the story...
I updated my device os to 7.1 and I was surprised that I only have about 90MB of memory left.
I don't have much apps installed, but shouldn't I have at least 200+MB or so memory left?
I don't really know what happened here, anyone of you have any idea why my memory is that low?

Hmm... you may have had a memory leak caused by the OS. you may reload it or switch it back to the old one. Are you on Post paid/

Help! Mega Stick 256 with only 128MB Memory !!!???

Hi all of you,
I just received a MegaStick 256 from an EBay-auction which was dead, but I could recover it
and put the firmware 2.11 on it.
Also I chose format while upgrading the firmware (it read "from Version 00.00.00.00 to 02.01.11.00" or something like that.
Afterwards everything was working fine, only that the size of the drive is something around 125 MB !
Does anyone have any suggestions? It definitely reads "Megastick 256" on the case which is light blue!

could be some mistake with the casing!
or, you've been cheated!
Sorry! Systems usually takes several MB from Mem-sticks even our hard drives
but not that much as yours.
i have a 256mb and windows reads it as 249mb.
if it is damaged somewhere it should'nt be working.

Cancelling with only two months left to go... or s...

Having taken out an 18 month contract in 2012 (Nov) We were happy BT users.
In august 2013 we moved house - taking our broadband with us. All went smoothly.
The landlord has decided the sell the property we live in meaning that two months before the contract is due for renewal we're moving out.
We're moving back in with the parents whilst we look for another place to live. Unfortunately upon ringing BT to discuss possible solutions I am told that it'll cost £170 to cancel early...
I ask whether its possible to wait for the extra two months but cancel my line rental and simply pay the remainder of broadband and phone usage. To which I am told that by moving house I have extended my contract length - at no point during my calls with BT was I made aware of this. When I asked why the answer i received was because a new phoneline was installed at the property. There was an existing phoneline at the property, which was BT and again no one at BT ever suggested otherwise.
I am happy to pay the two months worth of internet useage etc £27pcm until my contract is up but what I don't understand is why and how they have extended my contract without sending me revised agreements or even discussing this with me.
I am more than happy to compramise or at least speak to someone with the authority to compramise with me. I'm astounded by how difficult this is especially as BT own the majority if not the entire intrastructure of the area if not the UK.
My issue is that when we move into our new address (date unknown) we would've continued to use BT and probably extended the contract to BT TV too, however it seems that BT don't seem to worry about brand loyalty or future earnings.

UPDATE,
After numerous calls with BT to actually descipher when my 'contractual obligations' terminate with them I have been given several dates. its seems that no one is actually sure when my contract ends with them!?
I spoke with customer care this afternoon 1:30ish and I had a very helpful woman deal with me. She was incredibly paitient and when I asked her at what point I had been made aware of my contract extension she couldn't tell me. The only corrispondance I had recieved was an email saying that my service was working...
She also agreed that it sounded odd that I would cancel a 18month contract and take another one out for no gain in performance or benefit.
Looking around online it seems that this is common with BT and there are several cases whereby their terms and conditions do not hold up.
I really wish what few moderators there are on this site (i'm really surprised that BT don't dedicate more people to this place) will be able to assist me some how.
Otherwise I'm waiting on Lindsey Jones (sp) to call me...
my issue with all of this is that at no point has anyone told me explicitly that by altering any service with BT i therefore extend my contract length with them.
It is all very well citing 'terms and conditions' BUT something as serious and costly as extending contract lengths should not be hidden away. the company has a duty of care to inform the customer that above all else.
I have asked for a copy of recordings to be sent to me under the freedom of information act, however I was promised an email with the correct form today - so far nothing has turned up...

Very low on system memory warning with plenty of memory left

Hi,
I am using Premiere Elements 7 on Windows XP, AMD 3GHz dual core with 4GB memory. I create DVDs based on AVCHD files from a Canon HF100, almost no editing, 1 hour of DVD content (8 GB worth of AVCHD files) . I have done this with the same configuration in the past without problems, but lately Premiere has been very unstable, either crashing outright or giving me the following warning:
Adobe Premiere Elements is running very low on system memory. Please save your project and proceed with caution.
When I try to burn a DVD, this warning is always shows within minutes, followed by a transcoding error. I tried everything to free up more space, nothing else significant is running on my machine, and I have exited most other background processes. When the above warning is shown, physical memory consumption is is reported as following:
Commit Charge: 1.8 GB
Premiere Elements process: 1.1 GB
Free memory: 1.5 GB
I also have virtual memory set to 8GB. Premiere scratch directories are on a disk with 500GB free space. I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere, but no improvement.
Other relevant software on my machine, some of it installed after I had my last successful DVD burn:
Norton 360 2010 (Disabled Firewall and Autoprotect)
Adobe Web Premium CS3
Adobe Lightroom 2.5
Copernic Desktop Search (Disabled)
A number of free video tools, like HandBrake, AutoGK, AVISynth, VobSub, DVD Decrypter, Xvid
Tivo Desktop (Disabled)
iTunes (Disabled)
Could there be any side effect from the other software? Any potential hardware problems I should investigate? Everything else works perfectly, including the other Adobe products.
I very much appreciate your help, Premiere is unusable at the moment and I have some DVDs I desperately want to create.
Thanks,
Alex

Have you rendered your timeline?
If you're sceneline mode, switch to timeline mode. Is there a red line above your clips? If so, press Enter and let the program render your timeline (the red line will turn green).
This should greatly improve your program's stability and performance.
Also, ensure that the disc where you are storing your video files is formatted NTFS and not FAT32 (as they are when they come from the factory). FAT32 drives have a file size limit that can choke video work.
And, if this 500 gig drive is not your C drive, ensure that your C drive also has at least 30-50 gigs of free space, freshly defragmented and with its temp files regularly cleared.

Low Memory Warning. . . with lots of memory left?

I keep getting a Low Memory Warning on my iPad and I have to click on OK. However, I have over 22GB left. Is this a known problem? What is the issue? Are my apps (games/videos) staying "open" even after I click the home button and if so how do I "close" them?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
You can monitor "storage space" in the iTunes window.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select your iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the Summary tab.
You can see "Capacity" at the bottom of the iTunes window. If your iPad is telling you haven't enough space left try the suggestions here.

XP box with 256 MB memory freezes when syncing

I'm asking for a friend running XP with only 256MG memory. His iPod, a 4 gen click-wheel, works fine on my computer, but on his, syncing with iTunes freezes his computer. I've advised him to get more RAM. Am I correct?
Thanks

Hi there.
I can't find something in the technical specifications (Windows system requirements) how much RAM is neccessary, but I do believe also, that 256 were not enough.

On the off-chance that too-little RAM isn't the problem, what could the freezing cause be?

Trouble with Neo4 Platnum and AMD X2 with dual channel memory

I just installed an X2 3800+ in my Neo4 Platnum board. The board had a 3500 in it and ran fine. When I installed the X2, the machine will no longer POST if the memory is in the dual channel mode. I flashed to the latest BIOS (1.8) and it still does not work. I am using 2 Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5 Dimms each at 512MB. The PC POSTs fine if I place both modules in the Green slots. It does not work with 1 in green and 1 in purple (with either Dimms1-2 or 3-4). Has anyone else seen this?

Todd,
Your last post help me understand your situation a bit better. Here are some questions for you:
1- On your old system did these memory sticks work fine has a dual channel pair? Were these 2 memory sticks bought has a dual channel rated matched pair?
2- In your own words give me your definition of POST?
3- In your own words give me your exact detailed rendition of what happens when you try to post with dual setup. (How far do you get? Where does it hang up?)
4- Can you access your BIOS if booting with only one memory stick? If so, this is only for testing purposes, set your memory as 2.5,3,3,8, and 2T and add 0.05 volts to both your CPU and memory recommended voltages. Save, exit, and then shut down your system. Re-install the second stick of RAM in a proper dual channel slot. Re-boot and see what happens. If successful posting and booting in dual channel with this BIOS config go back to your BIOS and tighten your board and memory timings one at a time until you ID the perfect BIOS config for your CPU and RAM. Do the same with your CPU & RAM voltages.
AMD CPUs encompass their own memory control devices. There might just be enough variance between your older & newer AMD chips to reject dual configuration. If this is the case you may be able to correct it by using step for above. If this does not work, you sould borrow some suitable and proven dual channel memory sticks from a friend to see if the will work in your rig as dual channel?
Just keep on trucking & you'll solve it

Can I run the new Mac pro (6.1) with only one stick of ram?

Will that cause any problems. And if not how much will the overall quality be affected. it won't be a permanent solution, but for a few weeks at least. So can it happen? Can I run the Mac pro 2013 with only one memory stick?

Per this

the 2013 Mac Pro is the only MP that can use a single stick of memory.

Openbox is perfect for me, only ONE thing left to do...

well, after ALOT of googling and searching and maybe ~100 reboots ive got everything just the way i want it with my system and openbox. its been fun trying to set everything straight and when everything goes the way i want, the happy feeling you get... cant describe it
well now on to my question. as stated above ive only got one major thing left i want to do with my system. i want to be able to have different wallpapers on different desktops in openbox. currently im setting my desktop wallpaper with nitrogen.
well ive searched alot on this too but havent found anything. i were more concentraiting on getting everything basic done. so with only one thing left i thought id ask the community
sorry for my english and thanks to everyone that replies to this thread!

wallpapoz works with openbox!
But .. I use an ugly way:
1. when in openbox I start gnome-panel from terminal. (then from gnome menus I have to set my custom unfinished theme because gnome can't find some icons in openbox)
2. from another terminal I start
$wallpapoz &
and click "restart" in wallpapoz settings.
3. close wallpapoz setting window.
4. then I kill gnome-panel in the terminal with Ctrl_C.
P.S.
I was thinking about another alternatives:
1. I've heard there's a compiz plugin (but because compiz was much slower than beryl on my radeon 9200 I'm not very keen to try that.) - using and activating off-screen pixmaps should work fast.
2. write my own, but I don't see a big usefullness at the moment...
3. don't use any wallpapers when work but sometimes enjoy (what other usefullness of them, anyway?) them with screen saver or browser or other progs.
4. To recognize in which desktop am I - use some different background widgets like cairo-clock with different theme, bet maybe panels with different icons is sufficient?...
5 Someone will write and I might find it later...

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.
