VX4500 memory

How much memory does the VX4500 have for things like downloaded (through
BitPim) graphics?

Is there a way to tell how much memory is remaining?

Someone reported on one of the forums a while back that he had
uploaded about 4mb of ringtones and wallpapers to his LG VX4500 before
the memory filled up and would not accept addtional uploads.

I believe the memory limit is for the combined space used by
wallpapers and stored pics, ringtones, voice memos and the voice
scheduler. I expect the phone's performance would probably begin to
get pretty sluggish if you were to approach the limits of its working
memory.

Found it.

You get a screen titled "System Info" with a breakdown of memory usage.

Wonder why they hid it here instead of under "Phone Info"

It is also used by the phonebook, calendar and SMS messages.

In my experience performance is fine. The moment memory
fills up, the phone crashes and reboots. Some models have
to be taken back to Verizon and replaced (yes really, read
the Brew developer forums).

I haven't found any way of finding out the free space
via protocols. I can find out the total space. However
if you sum up the size of all files in the EFS, they
are larger than the total space figure.

I have a VX4400 and the following:
Get-It_Now, OK, OK, Options, OK, Information, OK

shows the following:
Memory 4% Used
67k/1.60 MB
(492K RAM)

Yes, but the only information available via protocols is
the total size of the memory. If you sum the size of the
files via the protocols, they are greater than the memory
size. Consequently there is no way via the protocols
to directly get the free space, or to calculate it.

Roger,

I take it you have not been able to determine the total space
available on the 4500 and that you do not believe it is 4mb, as
reported by another poster on one of the forums (I believe Yahoo).
Can you clarify this?

Secondly, let me thank you and your colleagues publicly for giving us
a great freeware program in BitPim. This really makes the 4500 a much
better phone.

No. It is trivial to find the total space. In fact the command
BitPim sends to see if the phone is in Brew mode is the one
that asks how big the memory is.

What I can't find is how much is free. If you just add up the
size of all files on the filesystem, then that is larger
than the size the phone says the memory is.
