N96 - memory - help

Hi. So I just got a n96 and I'm having some trouble with it. It says that the total mass memory available is 14,9gb and the total phone memory is 82mb, is this normal? even after I reset it an reinstalled the firmware it stayed the same. I spoke with some people at nokia and they asked me to go to menu - options - memory details, but there is not such option on my n96 so they told me to try to exchange it at the store I bought. But before I do that I went on another store and tested another n96 and is the same thing. So should I exchange it? Is it normal? Please help!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Hi car0line,
First of I have an N96 too, and my phone shows 14.7GB free too, I am an IT technician, and in my field we are use to this kind of questions, you see what many company do is round the number (as in the size of any memory) up to the nearest whole number, so even thought the phone should have 16GB of "Mass Memory" it only shows something along the lines of 15 point something, this is the rounded up to the nearest whole number (16) and this is what they will advertise, to show you an other example of this, if you have a USB memory, on the box it may say 1GB or something other "whole number" size, but if you plug it in to your PC, you will see that is 900 and something MB, same applies to a PC hard disk or any other memory that I can think of, I hope this helped you and enjoy your N96.
PS: thescorpion,
He means the mass memory inbuilt in the phone as the N96 comes with 2 inbuilt memories and SD card slot.

  • N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)

    N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)
    If I fill the internal memory with more than approx 5gb the phone goes crazy...
    (9,3Gb free)
    Here are a couple of examples
    * The phone becomes alot slower
    * When powering up the phone stops at a white blank screen until * I press the power button again.
    * When starting the music player all buttons associated with the music player(both on phone and handsfree) becomes unresponsive and the only way to stop the music is to remove the battery to turn off the phone.
    Another problem that occasionally occurs even if I have more free space on my memory card is:
    * When using the alarm clock there is a 33% chance that the phone will freeze when I turn it off. The only way to use the phone again is to remove the battery.
    I haven't updated the phone yet because the update isn't available yet in sweden it seems.

    This may be the issue, New content!:
    Scanning for new content (slowness in UI)
    - This is somewhat improved in 11.018 but still:
    - If you've loaded many Pictures, Videos or Music, you may see the device appear to slow down or even become unresponsive. After new content has been added, it is being scanned by the device and being added to the media applications. Until that happens, the new content may not be visible in these applications (e.g. Photos and Video Center application) right away. The phone will need to find the files and create the thumbnails and other details. This information creation takes time and the processing may slow down the device. Your best option is to open Video Center and Photos and leave open in the background then check after a few minutes if the videos and pictures you loaded are already there before using your device.
    The same applies if you insert a memory card with lots of content on it.
    - Do Not leave the Photos or video center in background during this time.

  • N96 - Memory card vs Internal memory

    Hi, I am trying to transfer music via Nokia PC Suite and it telling my my menory is full as it is reading from the installed memory card. How can I get it to automatically transfer to the phone memory??. Will I have to transfer everything from my memory card to the phone memory and if so how?? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When your phone is connected to PC Suite, go to Nokia Music Manager and select:
    1. Options
    2. Settings
    3. Click on your N96 tab
    4. Path to music file (or something along that line) will be set to E:/Music or E:/Sounds (something like that)...
    5. Change it to the c drive or wherever your phone's drive is and the folder you want the songs moved to.
    No, you don't have to transfer everything to your phone memory. Your phone's music player is capable of checking both phone and memory card for song files.
    Your gallery will put all your songs in one folder as well, regardless of location.
    From time to time, I suggest you check your available memory (menu > options > Memory details > phone memory and also check your memory card) just to see how much space is available.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Oracle 9i Database installation error ORA-27102: out of memory HELP

    Hello
    Appologies if this post has been answered already, or if I am meant to post some data capture to show what is the issue however i am a bit unsure what I need.
    I have downloaded oracle 9i for my university course as I need to have it to do some SQL and Forms building.
    I have had a lot of issues but I have battled through them - however now I am stuck on this one.
    I install Oracle and then the below:
    Install Oracle Database 9.2.0.1.0
    Personal Edition 2.80gb
    General Purpose
    I leave the defualt port
    Set my database name
    Select the location
    Character set etc
    then the database config assistant starts to install the new database at 46% i get the error on a pop up window :
    ORA-27102: out of memory
    How can I resolve this??
    I am a mainframe programmer and not at all in anyway a windows whizz - please oculd someone help a dummy understand??
    Again thank you all very much

    You have too few RAM on your machine, even you could successfully create an instance, it's going to slow as hell.
    When you run DBCA to create database, instead of actually creating the database you could choose to dump the SQL scripts and files used for database creation to a directory. This way will give you a chance to modify pfile and reduce the SGA parameter. I believe the default SGA of instance created by DBCA is already beyond your RAM limit.

  • N97 webbrowsing memory Help

    How to change web browsing memory from phone to mass

    Hi
    I'm sorry, I dont' have any good news.  I'm not experienced in this technical aspect but I gather there is little you can do if the mass memory is wiped.  The only thing I can suggest is that you back up regularly, so this doesn't happen again

  • After restoring 60gb photo ipod showing only 16gb memory - help?

    Ipod was working fine until one day a folder icon came up with the apple web address. It then suddenly reset itself and showed none of my music or photos (there was about 25gb on it).
    I then tried updating the software - it was up to date.
    I then restored it.
    When I attempted to add my music back on the ipod it told me there was not enough room. When I checked, the ipod was showing that there was only 16gb of free memory. When I checked the properties of the ipod through my computer it shows used space 20.2gb and free space 16gb. This still doesn't add up to the 60gb it is supposed to be.
    Can anyone help me?

    Spooke to Apple - £189 to repair. It is a replacement of my original so the warranty is finished (even though it was replaced last May - within a year from when it died - you don't get a full year warranty on the replacement).
    Once repaired would only be guaranteed for 90 days. Not worth it when I can get a new one for not much more.
    Have bought a new one. If this lasts only a year or less it will be my last ipod! They are easy to use but not convinced by longevity!
    Anyone got any suggestions for what to do with a broken ipod

  • After Effects Needing .0002GB more of memory,  Help!

    I am currently careting an informational video for my company in After Effects CC. The video is roughly 4 minutes long but I am breaking it down into smaller projects. The only I am currently working on it about a minute long and is basically just a slide show of products we use. For the slideshow I am using Idustrial Revolution: CoverFlux. I keep trying to preview it but it gets to about 3 seconds and tells me " AE cannot allocate .0002GB of memory to render the current frame.". I have tryed to add More RAM to AE giving it the max it will let me (6.5 GB), I have cleared any Cache, etc and it still will not allow me to render it. Is there any way to give it more memory or do I just need to upgrade the memory of my computer? I have a 27in iMac with 8GB of memory and room for 2 more memory slots saying " each slot accepts a 1600 MHz DDR3 memory module. " If I upgrade to more memory will that help me? Or using an external hard drive?

    > I'm using the most up to date AE in the could.
    Please give the exact version number.
    > One of your program developers was playing around withthose settings he said and it wasn't helping render any more than roughly 5 additional frames.
    Who?
    Are you meaning to say that you are already in communication with Adobe Technical Support? If so, then you should just continue with that, not here on the forum.

  • N96 Memory near empty but system says its full

    My Nokia N96 has been sent back for the third time from repair. It has had new software/firmware etc. but after I synchronised (600+ contacts and calendar) it it keeps warning C: memory is full. I have browsed the memory via the phone and PC Suite but can't find any files or folders there that are more than few kilobytes. Anyone out there with any ideas please?
    Thanks

    Last shot is the full reset
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers.
    This will completly reset the phone
    Anything clogging up the c drive should be removed
    Try it then check the status when the phone recovers

  • 6600 Memory - Help!

    I know 6600 is getting outdated, like me! But then plz tell me:
    1. Why my phone displays "Memory Full" though it has ample Free Space in MMC & Phone memory?
    2. How can the "Contacts" list be stored in MMC rather than in Phone memory or SIM card?
    Please Help !

    You cannot move the contacts to the memory card and access it from there when you open the phone book.
    however, as a backup you can do that. but that will not solve your problem.

    Format it in the camera.  If you aren't sure how to do this, it is covered in the manual for the FS100.
    Not sure why your computer wanted to format an already formatted card...  Strange.
