while on WM5 my free memory never really went below 10 M , even with several programs running.
loaded the new generic WM6 to my generic s620 and while it's nice looking, i'm having serious RAM problems. after a clean boot, free memory is around 18 M.
BUT, having a couple apps open like calendar, messaging, msn, it suddenly drops to only 2 MB available! right now, as I'm typing this it has 1,100K free ram and i have skype and IE open, everything else is closed. yes, ie cache is clean.
i did install voice command and at first suspected it for this sh*t but after disabling (removed from startup).
any ideas?
thx
Greg
Try uninstalling Skype and VoiceCommand for a few days, see how it runs then.
IE will also eat ram and not give it back until it is killed. I always remember to use celetask to close it after i'm done using it.

Talking about kill process, what's the best task manager available for smartphone?
I don't know celetask but I'll give this a try.
The question is - does your device run slowly or not allow you to run applications? Or are you just worried about a small number?
I see the same thing on mine, but it nevers runs slow and I have never hit a 'no memory' problem.
I have calendar, inbox, tasks, contacts, phone history, IE, Communicator, MSN and File Explorer open.
I agree with the above post, IE is a hog and you need to kill it from time to time.
My s620 has been running the HTC official WM6 ROM since the day it was posted and I have rebooted once since then, and that was only because I shut it down for a long flight
Maybe I'm just not a 'power user'?
It's not slow but it kicks out some apps from time to time as there is not enough memory.
For example, when browsing with IE, Skype closes sometimes. That pisses me off.

That's normal behavior when system closes some apps for wiping memory, you should try to avoid big memory "eaters" and close some of them..
For me i always try to keep 3-4 apps opened and got no problems..

yep, I know this. My problem is that WM5 vs. WM6 --> 10 MB is missing "somewhere"....
I only have Messages and Skype running, everything else is closed. But when I launch IE and it kills Skype I get pissed!
I upgraded mine to wm6 and i have no idea whats wrong, it runs beyond slow! nothin running, and lag like no other! it gets so bad sometimes that i have to restart my phone, and to restart my phone i have to pull my micro sd because i guess it doesnt like 1gig sticks! how and what do i do to fix this! also i would re rom it but i just to want to have to go through the hassle of getting BBConnect working again!
Hmmm... doesn't make sense, as mine actually runs >a lot< faster. Is yours under warranty? Sounds like yours is defective, you should talk to your carrier about a replacement device

I am not using Skype, but gonna think Skype is very "hungry" for memory, for ex for me: when no apps started i have 15mb free, after IE and other 3-4 apps it's 5-6mb free and still no problems..
Hi there,
by browsing a bit on the filesystem of my Hero, I uncovered some files called audio.conf, main.conf and input.conf in the /etc/bluez-directory.
Editing the contents (eg. discoverabletimeout) in it didn't do anything though -.-
I was wondering, if it's possible to get the bluetooth, working on the phone, to get its settings from these files, rather than from somewhere else (wherever that may be -.-)?
Running VillainRom 5.4, btw...
Sorry if I have misread your post, but doesn't Bluetooth work now on 2.1 ROMs?
I managed to transfer a photo to my friends phone last night via Bluetooth. I just went into the Gallery, selected a photo and then chose Bluetooth from the Sharing options. Worked straight away.
I'm using SenseHero 2.1
It DOES work, but you might want to tweak it a little
e.g. disable the timer for discovering the phone, etc...
Come on, there has to be some way...
This little **** won't connect to my handsfree anymore and I think this is related to some settings within these .conf-files...
So, after applying the official 2.1 Update, this little f***** keeps connecting, disconneting, connecting, disconnecting, connecting...
I'll never gonna buy HTC-stuff again... Fed up -.-
I'm thinking of picking up a liveview soon but I've been researching and seeing that there are some connection problems. A lot of the reviews are from 2010 though so I'm wondering if these have been fixed.
i got one but i have never used . there is connectivity issue. i sometime manage to connect it with my play some time it just disconnect so i no longer bother to use it.
I heard that Sony Ericsson has update the firmware of liveview which improves the connectivity of it. However I didn't have that, so it might not true.
One of the reason I didn't go for it is because its battery life is just 4 days for standby. Means that I can't treat it as a watch...
no after update there is still same issue
Did you happen to find a better accessory?
Don't get it. Horrible battery life and it refuses to stay connected
It disconnects because of Android, the OS just kills the Connection due to ressources. So you need something like a taskmanager which controls the app.
But i still like it, often it just needs 1 sec. to connect again.
pros:
- control your music player
- you can read sms, email, rss, ...
- calendar
- ohh and of course you can see the time , even then the phone is disconnected
cons:
- battery lasts only about 1 day
- disconnects immediately if the phone is about 1 meter away
- less development, even then it has great potencial
if you still have questions just ask, in my opinion it's a great device, i don't like watches, but this one has much more to offer then a normal watch, also its quite cheap (in EU)... give it a try, buy it from amazon and if you don't like it, just send it back
sorry for my bad language

Yes LiveView IS a great device, but the connectivity issue will make you mad.
It disconnects because of Android (the OS would kill the LiveView app aperiodically), but the device only supports Android phones, no WM ones.
I heard someone was porting its function to Windows Mobile, and then the device must be a very useful tool when it's been done.
Somehow, it's not time to buy it now.
Just got one in the mail today but it's for someone else who got interested when he saw my Sony Ericsson MBW-150.
A slight necro so my apologies.
Got an Xperia Play the other day and got round to syncing it to my previously unreliable LiveView.
Xperia detected what it was and installed the relevant software via LiveWare Manager (installed as stock on mine) and it has so far worked flawlessly for 2 days with no syncing issues.
Considering it previously disconnected every 5 minutes Im impressed.
Couldnt the process just be locked in memory using supercharger? Would that fix this disconnect issue people talk about? Im interested in getting one but this issue puts me off.
I may try it again but its pretty poor and I would not buy one again.....
They were £17.99 from play.com but still feel I have wasted money....
Can't believe you have to take it out of the case to charge it and then place it back on, I wonder who actually was responsible for the design, am sure I can do a better job with my eyes closed.
I bought the LiveView today and I must say I really like the device and it's really handy. You might want to put some extra attention at your internal memory because the device disconnects (BT gets terminated) when the internal memory gets below ~50mb.
One thing: I don't know why you guys are so whining about the connectivity issue, when the device disconnects it just takes one maybe two minutes to reconnect again.

It's because sometimes it doesn't reconnect....
I do this 3 steps:
-1º step
-Using Root Explorer, apply the Fivef Process (this seems to be needed only for non-Sense 2.3.x ROMs - looks like Sense in 2.2 builds allows LV to connect without confirmation).

I have found a solution for the repairing problems occurred on my desire HD with cyanogen 7 RC 1.
copy this file with e.g. root explorer to your SD card. edit it with e.g. astro as described below and then copy it back with root explorer. Restart your device.
/data/misc/bluetoothd/[device bt id]/linkkeys
your linkkeys file has to look something like that:
00:1D:BAD:8C:57 FF579860A41CD5A627D9D1596526715C 0 4
00:01:95:08:20:6F 809CC84592E6C1B06AB750170C365812 0 4
6C:23:B9:9B:4A:85 5AF503E766858EA7916D46C16DD31A34 0 4
The last entry is my liveview.
I just changed the last two numbers from I think
-1 0 to 0 4 so that it looks like the other entries.
The 0 is the linkkey type and the 4 the pin lenght.
But I don't know what the 0 stands for.
Have no time for futher research.
I just know that now the liveview automatically reconnects without an annoying pairing prompt.

-2º Step
- Find in the market & install the BEST Android program I've seen yet - "AutomateIt!"
- Create the following rule in this program:
-TRIGGER: BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED (LIVEVEW)
-ACTION: START APPLICATION (LIVEVIEW)
Using this incredible program, you can completely control every aspect of your phone's behavior - for example, automatically start PlayerPro and disable WiFi when wired headset is connected, automatically start WiFi when GPS detects that you have entered your home or office (!) and do million other cool things.
-3º Step
-Install liveviewcharm from market:
This application will maintain processes from "liveview app" always on, preventing android system to kill them.The LiveView app needs to put itself in the Notifications bar in order to keep from getting killed when it's in the background.
I think that guide will fix all liveview connection problems with all compatible devices and CM7/MIUI/STOCK.

Hi folks,
Just to share an issue that I'm getting on my Xperia Arc (rooted) on ICS 4.0.4 (yes it's old, but it still serves me well )...
I noticed that it creates constantly and automaticaly a huge amount of "rotation*.tmp" files on its SDCard at mnt/sdcar. I also noticed also that this amount is created in a fast way when I turn on 3G or Wifi, and even more fast when I run a Junk Cleaner Cache app (like ES Explorer or CM Clean Master)...
In a few seconds, my SDCard is filled with about 5000 / 6000 or more of those .tmp files like a snap!
Beside each file having a 0KB size, I have to delete all of that 'junk' after each interaction I have with my phone.
Also noticed that those files are created more or less dependind on the "amount" of "interactions" I have with the phone, like opening apps, dragging the screen, turn the screen on/off... But that doesn't stop from those files being created even when the phone is on standby...
Anyone with a solution to this issue or know witch app/system app is creating all this "junk" mess?
I tryed also running my anti-virus (CM Security), but can't find anything...
Just got my Gemini - been looking forward to it as my last remaining Psion 5mx is dying (yes I've been using one all this time). BUT I've never used an Android device before (I have a Windows phone) and I'm having some problems. For example, how do I turn it OFF??? Fn Esc turns the SCREEN off, according to the Quick Start Guide, but shouldn't it be possible to turn the device off to save battery life? Or am I not supposed to do that? And how do I reach the equivalent of File Manager so I can see what files I've got on the machine and choose whether to use the internal memory or MicroSD card (once I get a MicroSD card for it, which will be soon)? And can anyone recommend a basic Android guide to help me get started? So far I've managed to: update the software; get the physical keyboard and the language used matching (but unfortunately it has arrived with a US keyboard); get my Gmail; get started with Word. The main things I want to use the Gemini for are (a) writing; (b) having my databases (e.g. of my books) from my old Psion. Assistance appreciated.
I've found ES File Explorer Pro to be excellent as not only will it deal with internal memory and the SD card but also my NAS and FTP needs. Only slight upset will be when you discover that the 'last modified' file attribute is not retained correctly by Android. As far as I am aware, only OnePlus and Google devices have so far fixed this long standing bug. Fortunately any photographs are sorted by apps that read the date from the EXIF data rather than the file attribute. As for turning off.... Press and hold the function key and ESC, after a second or so you will get option to power off or reboot.
Hope this helps.
Thank you! (But more questions)
Many thanks for this - I presume I get ES File Explorer Pro from the app store - when I work out how to get to that... (how DO I get to the store?)
Is the Gemini designed to be 'on' all the time like a phone, so it's useable quickly? (which was after all one of the advantages of the Psion). And if so, when is it sensible to switch it off? I do keep my 10-inch Toshiba Satellite click-mini on most of the time, but I tend to turn it off at night, for example.
And a totally different question: is it possible to set it so the keyboard doesn't 'buzz' with every key stroke?
