"Too Many Cards Open" Problem

since I updated the last update on my pre whenever I try to use a email link I get a too many cards open message even if there is only one card open. Then when I close everything and try to open a new email card or web card I get the same message until I restart the phone. Has anyone heard if this?

Hello paktec,
Are you using an HP Touchpad?
If you are experiencing the issue on a TouchPad try closing the applications and relaunching whatever new applicatiion you was trying to use.
If you are done with an application that you are not going to use again for while try completely closing the application before launching a new one.
There are two ways to close applications on the device.
1. Swipe the application up off the top of the screen
2. Pull the application down and slingshot it off the top of the screen.
By doing option 1 you are suspending the application in the background allowing it to open quicker subsequent times. By doing option 2 you are completely closing the application out. Opening the application later will take a little while longer, but if the application has a memory leak you will not run into any problems of it using memory while being in a suspended state.

You need to find the "Update" app and run it. It will check to see if your phone needs an OS update, or if any programs you've installed from the App Store have been updated.

Too many cards open

I have seen on the forums that people got this problem with one of the older releases of the software even when they had no cards open at all. I've just started getting it on 1.4.5. in the UK. Is this a recurrent 'feature'?

Sorry, Too Many Cards message on Pre

I've gotten this message 5x today and 2x yesterday, with NO CARDS OPEN! I can't do anything on the d--n phone ~ is this more 1.4 bugs??

I'm having the same problem. Usually I will have Tweed open along with the Camera app. I try to send a photo by email and I get the "too many cards open message". Sometimes when I turn the screen off and turn it back on it fixes it. But today I only had the Photo app open and was trying to send a photo by email and i got the "too many cards open message". The same happens when I only have one program like the emailapp then click on a link. Right now I have NO apps open. I'm trying to open the camera app and it keeps giving me the warning. It's very annoying, especailly when you are trying to do some quick. Oh don't get me started on the the slowness of the system ...

'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message NOT rendering correctly

I'm seeing the 'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message not render properly for me on Palm Pre 1.3.1. I rebooted the phone and was able to reproduce the problem by opening up many cards. I have uploded a screenshot: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6525/browser20091511171212.png
As you can see, the 'OK' button is not rendered correctly. If I remember correctly it supposed to be a green button? Also, the right side box is supposed to have an icon or something. I've never seen this error message NOT rendered properly before 1.3.1.
BTW, like others have posted - once I get to a memory threshold I can't even open up core apps - like 'Device Info' (in case I needed to reboot the phone). I would have expected some high availability on these apps w/r/t memory management.
I would upload more debugging information if I knew how on the Pre. But like I said I was able to reproduce on 1.3.1 before and after a reboot.
Thanks,

Too many cards on Palm Pre

is anyone else gettin the message too many cards open please close any you are not using? This is happening without any open. it just happened to me and i had just finished adding a contact and had flicked the contacts off screen and tried to open calendar. i have only had the pre 2 weeks and this has happened 4 times. it is on Bell in Canada. tks
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

Hello and welcome to the forums;
What applications are you using just before you notice this error? Some apps such as 3-D games, web, maps, and email can use up a lot of system resources, which may cause this error even after the cards have been closed. Try closing all open cards and restarting your phone by following these steps:
1. Hold down the power button
2. Slide the ringer switch back and forth
3. Repeat step 2
4. Repeat step 2
5. Release power button
6. Wait a few seconds device screen should go black and then reboot
Try then to open whatever application you were getting an error on. Most likely, you will be able to open it with no problem. If this problem reoccurs, or you find yourself restarting your device frequently, you may want to contact our technical support department for further troubleshooting steps.
Hope this helps,

Too many files open when parsing xml

HI,
I have an application which needs to parse about 13 XML files multiple times.After parsing the XML and creating a DOM I put in values to create an XML message which is then put onto a message queue.I am getting a 'Too many files open' problem.I have run the loop a maximum of 105 times after which i get the problem.However I will need to do this atleast more than 10000 times.Can someone suggest a solution to read the XML, create a DOM and populate the DOM without encountering the above mentioned problem.If I just parse the XML and store the 13 DOMs in a HashMap and use the same, the text values from the previous call get appended resulting in an invalid XML.To overcome this we parse the XML each time a message is to be sent.We also tried increasing the system memory as suggested at some sites but the solution was of no help.
Thanks & Regards

Don't know what this has to do with Web Start but you should make sure that, after parsing a file, the corresponding InputStream is properly closed.

Too Many Cards??

While trying to download apps from the catalog, I get the message "Too many cards". I'm confused. What do they mean? Am I only allowed to download a pre-set number of apps?

I get the "too many cards open" error message, but I am only opening 1 (like clicking on Web icon) -- so I'm not sure why I would get the message. Any suggestions?
My daughter also gets the same message on her Palm Pixi.

8g touch updated 4.2.1, problems synching apps and music. gives multiple errors; device times out, internal device errors, network times out, duplicate file, too many files open. itunes diagnostics ok. what to do?

have an 8g ipod touch which has had problems trying to play games and downloading update 4.2.1. went to the apple store who kindly downloaded the software update but now can't synch and generates multiple error messages; device times out, internal device error, network times out, duplicate file and too many files open etc etc. have latest i tunes download and diagnostic test ok. what can i do?

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

You have too many sessions open. Please close one and execute the workitem.

Hi all,
I am new to Portal.
we have a SAP Inbox Iview that works fine, but the problem is when the user try to execute Purchase Requicition Approval, the error "You have too many sessions open. Please close one and execute the workitem." appears. What really bothers me is that the error appears as IE error message but the detail of the error looks like SAP.
Your help will be appreciated.

Most started out with 200-250 limits and now are at 1,000 or more in less than a year.Well, as noted, store cards can be a building tool and as I understand it you have been in that process for about a year and congrats on your progress. That said, I would not be applying for any additional store cards if there is not a specific need for it. This is not the type of credit you want in your profile in the long run. With regard to closing them: I don't know how this will affect your UTIL as I am not aware of your other cards limits however there are many people that have closed these types of cards when they determined there was no use for them, they were not needed any more, they were not the type/quality of cards they wanted to have in the long run, and lastly the history of that card would remain on their report for 10 years. Some bare bones info and the affects of closing cards: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Closing-Credit-Cards/td-p/347190 All that said, while the above lists the math of it all, if you will, it does not speak to the aspect of quality. As you continue to grow, how do you want your profile to look to lenders? Do you want to have 10 low quality store cards won by the credit card trick with limits in the 1k range that you may never use and can't really use substantially anyway as your UTIL would go through the roof very quickly with a 1k limit or do you want a lower number of high quality cards with healthy limits that will continue to grow overtime if you show them the respect they deserve?

Too many cards warnings & weak GPS signal

I keep having problems more & more often with my Pre (I'm on the Sprint network, if it matters). At least once a day, I get the 'too many cards' warning, even if I just have one page open. It's especially frustrating when I'm looking at a website (with nothing else opened/running) & want to click on a link but it can't open up because I supposedly have too many cards! The only thing I can do is restart the phone, which takes forever, & then try to get back to whatever website I was on to start over.
The other problem that keeps happening is that the GPS signal is weak when I'm in Sprint Nav & trying to drive somewhere. Having to restart the phone makes navigating somewhere I don't know next to impossible (not to mention unsafe/illegal to operate while driving). And because of problem #1, I have to restart my phone frequently, so I don't understand what's going on. Before the TMC problem, I would just restart my phone when the GPS signal wasn't working & that would solve it, but since I restart it all the time as it is, this is just crazy.
I know that these issues have been addressed before, but I wanted to add another request for Palm to fix these problems (& while you're at it, please add a way to sync tasks & memos with a computer, & add categories to the calendar like in PalmOS!). Has anyone come up with a realistic solution (one that does not involve having to restart ad nauseum)? The only apps I have on my phone are from the app catalog & I don't even have that many of those so memory should not be the issue. Help!

Please search for "iPhone GPS problem - SOLVED".
It's not solved for everyone; I have a problem on a 2G that never got fixed, but the way I read the posts there and my problem there are a number of different causes for this, some of which are software; mine -might' be hardware.
Look over there and try the various proposed solutions and see if any works for more than a small amount of time.
Since you posted back in June you might have found a solution to this, but you're still "unanswered" as of today Sept 25.
I'm noe on Firmware 3.1. Which firmware were you n when you posted, if you can remember? Some people got problems after a firmware update - mine -could- be due to updating from iPhone 2.2.1 to iPhone 3.0.

WebOS 1.3.1 Memory Leak? (too many cards)

OK. I am fairly sure 1.3.1 has some sort of memory leak and or other major issues.
I have a I have a Rev A Palm Pre From sprint P199EWW. I have had it since launch with only your typical Pre / WebOS problems.
One of the applications often use is m:Vampire. Laugh if you will it helps me kill time. I have not added ANY new applications since before 1.3.1 and rarely use many other apps outside of the standard core apps. Now after I have updated to 1.3.1 I am getting slow performance, especially with the email and web browser.
Today I was playing m:Vampire and got an email. I taped the email to read it and I got the "too many cards" error. This has never happened previously. m:Vampire was the only application i had been running when the email notification arrived
I have tried rebooting and resting but the problems always seem to come back.
It's really aggravating because I know these issues didn't exist before 1.3.1

I got the too many cards issue too today, but I had 8 opens, so i closed 4 of them, waited a bit for the memory to free, tried to open any app again and still the same issue, too many cards. I had a small word document opened for 3 days so I closed it and the problem went away. Either Word doc viewer eats lots of memory if left opened or the the OS doesn't free up memory very well when you close cards.... Dev team should check on that I think.

"Too Many Cards" message

I didn't really know for sure which section of this forum to post this problem, so hopefully this is close.
I keep getting the error message "Sorry, Too Many Cards. Please toss away any you're not using... etc." even though there are no cards open, and it has been a problem for several days.
It's a big problem because it won't let me download updates, view the internet, or even make calls sometimes.
Sometimes it fixes itself when I turn the phone on and off, but sometimes it goes on for up to an hour and it's very annoying.
I'd appreciate any feedback that might help me with this bizarre problem!
Thanks!
Adie

Hopefully this isn't a silly question, but by "turn my phone on and off" do you mean just hit the power button put the phone to sleep and then hit it again to wake it up? If so, then you need to reboot the phone. That will solve the problem, at least until you've opened enough of the right apps for the problem to occur again.

Why does it keep telling me I have too many tabs open even if I only have one or 2?

When I am online, several times a day it will not open a new tab and pop up a screen that tells me I have too many tabs open and gives me the option to let it close them or I can close them. But I may only have 1 tab open, sometimes more than that but it doesn't seem to matter how many. I can shut down my computer and bring it back up and it will work ok for a little while and then all of a sudden when I go to open a new tab it does it all over again. I am using mozilla and vista.

Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
System Specs:
Win 7 64
6 core I7 processor
32gb Ram
3GB VRAM
600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
File specs:
1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
Maybe 8 textures
Not sure how many total layers.
Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.
