    NOkia E63 All Software Problems listed, Ignored by CUstomer CAre to reply.

    Nokia E63 has a name sake encryption and decryption. Once you encrypt and decrypt it is difficult to find any of your old saved files. Paradox is that the memory status will show a huge quantity of used space. But GOD only knows where the files are. Nokia
    support centres have no answer for this problem. I lost a large chunk of my pics n files. Shame of Nokia.

    Feature Request :: Breakup of others storage

    Hi Team,



    I am aware of what is Others in storage mean. However I was wondering If you can provide a breakdown of what is using such a huge chunk of memory. For phones which are just 8GB , others using 2- 3 GB is huge considering Operating system also uses a good
    amount of system memory.



    Wish: It will be nice to provide a breakup of others storage when user tap on others storage listing under Phone Storage >> Phone >> Other

    i lost huge chunk of memory on disk C

    Hi, to find where your space has gone you could try a program called Windirstat which helps to visually identify how your disk space is used both as a tree and a cushion map. But you seem to have plenty of space on C:.

    Others suggest a program called Treesize.

    Sorting by date may also help.

    I assume by
    you mean you burnt the ISO to the disk... copying it - i.e. writing it as a data file will not make a bootable disk from the iso if that's what you were trying to do.

    If you were trying to create Macrium's boot disk, run Macrium and select the appropriate option.

    looking at treesize free..i don't know which file can be deleted to get back lost memory..
    maybe something in this section? if I could find lost memory.. memory went down right after tried to burn that iso file..i think I made a boo-boo somewhere
