With all the different pictures, games and videos, it is very easy to run low on memory on your HP iPAQ. You may not even notice until you try to upload something and are given an error message telling you there is not enough memory to run the application. Follow these steps to increase the memory in an HP iPAQ.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Go to the Memory Control Panel on your iPAQ. Move the slider either left or right to allocate memory either to Storage or Programs.
Step2
Move your audio and video files to a memory card (SD, CF or MMC). Depending on how many files you have, this could free up a decent amount of space.
Step3
Games take up a lot of memory. Putting them on a memory card will increase the available memory on you HP iPAQ.
Step4
Put all your pictures on memory cards. This will clear up storage space and increase memory.
Step5
Put applications you do not use very often on memory cards. They take up a lot of memory and this will increase memory on your HP iPAQ.
Step6
Store your databases on memory cards. This will increase memory and make them easy to transfer.

Tips & Warnings

  • Changing your camera settings to automatically save your pictures to a memory card will help keep your memory free.
  • When you run an application from a memory card, it will temporarily copy to RAM. When you are finished it will automatically remove itself.
  • When you keep your files and applications on memory cards, you may want to make backups in case they are lost or stolen. This is actually a good idea for important information on your iPAQ in general.
  • When you are in the Memory Control Panel, it is important to know that when increasing storage or program memory, the memory allocated to the other section will decrease.
