Re: Motorola MPx300

They are completely overwritten with a new set. Any files in ROM are not
counted in your memory statistics. You should have two types of memory,
Storage and Program, and may have a bit of control over how they are
allocated, though that may not be the case with a smartphone. They are both
carved out of RAM. The Storage is where the system keeps data, the registry,
your contact and calendar info etc. it is also where your files go if they
are not on a flash card. The files in there are what appear under My
Documents on the device. You can also install programs to this space. The
Program side of RAM is what you and the OS need to run programs. WM2003SE
doesn't close programs that it loads into RAM when you hit the X, it just
backgrounds them, so they can be accessed faster the next time. You can
manually close programs hopefully with some task manager application on the
phone, using a third party application manager, or resetting the unit. Not
sure about your device, but there may be a way to soft reset it. Being a
phone though, turning it off and back on will do it. Can you play music
right after you power cycle the phone?

These files are in ROM, not RAM and don't do anything that I can tell.
So basically .. is there any way to delete ROM? Its not possible,
right?

Without having access to the particular device, a generic answer: you
can, in general, freely delete anything that is in RAM; that is,
deletable. RAM-based ringtones are like this. Just make sure you make a
backup before doing this so that you can restore your previous state if
you delete something vital.

Not sure where to post this, so I will try a few NG's. I will also
check them all so it will help if you tell me in which group my posts
belong. I have the Motorola MPx300 phone. Running Windows Mobile 2003
Second Edition v 4.21.1088 [build 14342.2.5.0] The ppc tells me that I
have 27 megs approx. and 17 megs en flash memory. I have a storage
card where I store almost everything.

When I run Media player for example, I get an error 'not enough memory
to ....' when nothing else is running.

So I looked at what I have free and that is only about 8 megs. I
opened file explorer and find lots of files that don't seem to be
associated with anything. Files such as 'bobbleheads' And there are
lots of them. Also there are a bunch that say 'Fun Clips.' And others
With the word 'occasions.' Some of these have dupes. the are in rom
and I cant delete them.

I have updated the rom and I cant help but wonder if the files from
the original setup get removed or? Basically I am just curious as to
why I have not enough memory to do the simple thing like run media
player etc. Unfortunately I can't even check with motorola because
this is not a supported device.
