Hmm
So after a soft reset, without Goodlink running, I have at least 27mb available..and with Goodlink, I still have 12-15mb Program Mem free...
Over the course of the day, Mem would drop to between 4-8mb. There is nothing else I can close with HTC X-button.
Exiting out of Goodlink does give me back more mem (12mb or so), but GL is a 'must have' app. Soft reset brings up the same cycle....
anyone else notice any memory issues or decreased Mem throughout the day? Could possibly be on of the apps installed?
I did not have this 'leak' with the un-official Asian/dopod WM6 release, though I like the new att wm6 release and would like to stick with it if I could. Also, with that ROM, I only had Goodlink and a_c slide2Unlock
I am currently running the official ATT WM6 release
3.62.502.3 and these are the installed apps:
(radio ver I downgraded to 1.47 but the radio shouldn't matter)
Goodlink (compressed the 4mb exe into 2mb with UPX4PPC)
PocketCM Keyboard with iPhone (2many skin)
A_C slide to unlock (ver 1.17 because I like this older version)
HTC X-button ver 1.51
MS Live Search
SJ keyboard skin - Touch
battlevel.exe
There have been versions of slide to unlock that had memory leak problems (.99c does not). Try disabling it for a day and see if thats the problem. You can also use oxios to free up allocated RAM throughout the day.
This has been a regularly recurring issue for me since I can remember. I've been using Schap's 4.01 for months now and find that I need to reset every couple of days. Sorry that I don't have a solution for you, but perhaps someone else here can give a recommendation on how to go about freeing up memory that has become consumed by the OS and programs running in it.
The only thing that I can think of might be to try going to 'Settings -> System -> Memory -> Running programs' and close down anything else that may be running in the background. Also, try checking the running processes in FDCSoft Task Manager 2.7 and see if there are any programs that can be closed out there as well. Let me know if you figure anything out, thanks!
Cheers and good luck!
SKTools FreeUP RAM
I use SK Tools FreeUP RAM function to free program memory throughout the day. Even at that, every couple of days I need to soft reset. Typically, I will drop down to about 18MB of Program Memory, then FreeUP RAM and get back to 21MB, then soft reset and get back to 23-24MB.
It seems rather absurd, I know, but one gets used to it.
SKTools costs money and takes up memory (luckily installed on my Storage Card) and you would think this functionality would be in WM6.
Hmm.. So if everyone has this problem of sorts, and with all the various ROMs... the only common ground here is WM6 OS?
I'll try these freeMEM programs and give it a whirl
PS.. (The 'memory leak' was still happening even before I had installed A_C Slide2Unlock, though I will take it off again just to be sure)
WM6 memory leak on Sprint Mogul
I recently purchased a Sprint Mogul and upgraded to the latest ROM that HTC put out on their site on 3/10/08. I have installed many programs but only 3 launch at startup which are iLock2 [screen lock], TouchPal [a thumbable keyboard] and Microsoft's own Voice Command v 1.6. Voice Command is the largest user of memory, approx. 2.3 MB. TouchPal uses about 990 kb and iLock uses less than 35 kb. After about 1 hour I'm down to 11 MB of free memory and I didn't do anything or run a single thing on my device. If I try to launch PIE or Media Player, forget it, there's so little RAM left that it freezes in about 15 minutes of usage. So, if I want to use either of these, I have to do so immediately after a soft reset.
Based on my observations above and testing below, WM6 OS has a memory leak!
To make sure I give WM6 a fair chance, I had to measure the memory immediately after a Hard Rest. So that's exactly what I did 3 times and here are my findings:
Test #1...................FREE RAM IMMEDIATE...........FREE RAM IN 1 HOUR
Hard Reset #1...................24.15 MB...........................19.98 MB
Hard Reset #2...................24.15 MB...........................20.02 MB
Hard Reset #3...................24.14 MB...........................19.96 MB
Bottom line, I'm losing memory for no reason. I have not loaded any of my own programs AND I did not allow the Sprint bloatware to be installed either by doing a soft reset before the 3 second countdown.
Now the memory loss from Test #1 might not seem huge, but after loading my programs and PIM data the difference was even more dramatic, see Test #2. [FYI, I took the "IMMEDIATE" measurements in Test #1 and #2 as soon as the computer would allow me to access the memory console. Not perfect science, but close.]
Test #2......................FREE RAM IMMEDIATE........FREE RAM IN 20 MINS
Soft Reset #1.....................21.37 MB............................13.69 MB
Soft Reset #2.....................21.45 MB............................13.35 MB
Soft Reset #3.....................21.46 MB............................13.44 MB
Finally, to eliminate some rogue process eating all of my memory, I measured the process growth. I was able to do so after each soft reset by using Task Manager v.2.9, which I installed. A few of them grew in size, not sure why, but they did, so below is a sample of their growth. [I actually did this several times and the numbers below are representative of what I found in each of the trials.]
Test #3...................IMMEDIATE.................20 MINS
device.exe..................2682 kb...................2696 kb
cprog.exe...................1749 kb...................2024 kb
gwes.exe....................1559 kb...................1666 kb
filesys.exe..................1538 kb...................1751 kb
While the processes grew, it wasn't significant enough to offset the loss in memory illustrated in Test #2. I also watched the processes associated with my 3 programs that launched at startup and the other OS processes, 15 in all. Some of those grew ever so slightly as well. But in aggregate, the growth for all 15 processes from the time immediately following the reset to 20 minutes later only accounted for 855 kb while I saw my memory drop on average 8 MB.
What could be happening?
I believe the OS is loading something into memory [RAM checker, scanner, cleaner, etc.] that I can't see in the processes or application window and after it's done, it is not releasing the memory, ergo a memory leak.
Thoughts?
AT&T 8525/WM6 Memory
The memory on my AT&T 8525 was not great to start out with. After upgrading with HTC's WM6, it's so bad that Internet Explorer is barely usable. It slows down and freezes after viewing a few sites. I have to close the program and restart.
Ditch the rom you are using now and try this one out. I start with 31 mb's free after a reset. Problem solved.

Hello everybody!
I have an XDA orbit with german WM 6 from O2. Several days after hard reset it starts to get slower and slower, until a day or two later its so slow, it needs minutes to open or close applications. Nothing helps, no soft reset, no registry cleaning, no deleting of programs, .... The only possibility, to get it up to speed again is a hard reset. Before someone asks: I DO use software to get my programs closed for real (SPB Pocket Plus).
Since each time it takes a lot of time to install everything again manually (I usually do a soft reset, before the extended rom installs automatically, because it contains so much I don´t need) I would like to find a way, to prevent it getting slower. I install the things form extended rom I need and some applications I need in addition, like TomeRaider, CardExport II, KeyPass, TomTom, Sprite Backup, Total Commander, ... Neverthelesss I can be sure it will lock up again only a couple of days later.
If I restore the device by Sprite Backup it starts getting slower at once, though I usally have a day or two of remotely tolerable working speed.
Can anyone help me to get that problem fixed?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe you should check running processes when device runs slow (with MemMaid or SkTools).
Hi,
I've just put hard-spl on to my diamond and upgraded the radio to v1.00.25.05.
Everything else about this is stock. Now when I turn on my device it has about 48% ram... I can't start Tomtom anymore, and presumably other apps.
There's no running programs. I'm not sure where the ram has disappeared to.
My memory looks as the following:
Storage:
Total: 85.44 MB
In use: 28.45 MB
Free: 56.99
Program
Total: 113.07 MB
In use: 58.04 MB
Free: 55.03 MB
Can someone help out? The device is pretty useless with this amount of ram after a reset
Not sure if this makes a difference...
But I couldn't get hard-spl on using the normal directions, I had to use these instructions here:

And what`s the prob ? You have about 50% of Ram free ? I don`t see the point.
1. Before the radio and hardspl upgrade I could run Tomtom fine, now it won't start at all due to a lack of memory.
2. Before the upgrade I had over 80% when I turned the device on.

Impossible you must be mistaken. Maybe when TF3D turned off but even then I doubt. With TF3D off after soft reset I get around 60 MB free which makes free about 55% and used 45%. The problem is somewhere else dude
I'm not mistaken. 78% was the most commonly displayed amount I had. I'm 100% not mistaken on that.
The fact that Tomtom tells me that there's not enough memory to launch also helps to confirm this for me. I did a Tomtom reinstall too without any change.
when you said 80%, are there any chance that you got it from hitting top right hand conner at TF3D page? if so, that number doesn't mean you have 80% RAM available, but it means 80% RAM were in use (so you have 20% available).
And if in that case, you said you have 48% number show now.. that's mean 48% is in use and you have 52% available. compare to before where you have 78% on average, this is much better isn't it?
For the TT problem, I don't think is really cause by this. It may be ran out of memory, but not this RAM, could be virtual memory, etc. Sorry, I don't use TT so i skip this part..
Install TT7 on phone memory and it will work.
You have a TomTom pb
On my device, I have 50~51% at boot.
For you I launched several apps to have 66% (40Mb free)
And guess what ? TomTom launched with no problem.

Shows 80% used with Activesync off..
TomTom runs up fine for me...
You were right, I was reading the ram incorrectly. Sorry about this.
Someone mentioned installing tomtom in the phone memory will fix this... well I did that the other day and yes it worked, but now, less than 2 days later without me changing anything it's done it again
I have read about the availability of RAM after booting up and after using the device for awhile. My device's RAM after fresh soft reset is around 53-55% and after using it for almost a day, it reports as 65-67%. In all your honest expert opinion, is that good or bad ? I have not experienced any device hang ups yet, TF3D still is fast and smooth. Only sometimes the device lags when I am typing out a SMS.
Hi
I have my dash on 6.1
and after a while it starts to get laggy or really slow
any ideas what to do?
Off and On again
You can either restart as the phone tends to build up in the amount of programs being opened, or you can always click the tzones button and it will direct you to the task manager where u can close programs to make the phone less laggy...
Install (and then purchase) Celetask. Best darn task manager around and with its 'free memory' tool I can keep my dash at 18MB free program memory all day
You should also get SKTools, clean out the Notification Que once in a while.. that slows down the Dash as well.

Celetask does not need to be purchased as it comes with the new 6.1 rom remade by Ricky... version 24...
i have celetask and free memory but still not running that smooth
there have been times where the phone just locks up and ihave to pull the battery out.
any other ideas why?
running winmo6.1
can be due to the fact that my phone is actively sync to exchange server??

maybe cause it's actively synced to your gayness level, and it overloads the phone
jk, from my experience, whenever i install cabs, my phone ends up slowing down alot faster than a reflash without any cabs. maybe you could reflash and only install the cabs you need?
if not, then try restarting the phone often, cause its like those old computers we used to use back in the day where a restart was almost necessary every day
also, clearing the mass amounts of text messages (and deleting them from the trash) makes my dash faster

Agree just try restarting it once a day as well as clearing up the texts... Also run SKTools in order to clean up and free some bytes... You can find the link to download SKTools below in the programs for smartphone... Just download the lite version okay if you would like... I also have the other version but read the readme file for that version...
I'm running dzo's kernel 09/09/10 and dzo's froyo 02/09/10, but I've been experiencing these problems with the CyanogenMod port as well. Basically the phone often becomes sluggish and unresponsive. I've tried using Startup Manager to trim down the running processes, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Taskpanel seems to show a typical free memory level of less than 30MB. I'm not running a huge number of apps, although everything is installed to flash, as is Android.
Is there anything I can do to prevent these slowdowns? I take it installing apps to SD card won't actually free up core memory.
Typically in my experience Froyo or rather CM6 tends to get sluggish after a while, due to more and more processes using up available RAM, I'm not sure this is actually helped by task management, since most tasks simply restart if killed before they have done their job.
It's not just confined to our Kaiser CM6 ports either, I had the same sort of thing on my G1.
I just went back to 2.1 builds and have been happy with my average 30Mb free ram ever since, without task management, and yes, that includes my G1.
Apps2sd will free up space on data storage, however it will not free up RAM sadly, which is where the problem is.
Another thing I have found recently on the froyo that is slowing me down is the stupid download folder on the sd card. The market uses this and if you have a partial download, ever, it seems to cause issues until you delete the files out of there.
since i got my TP2 on 5/17 ive been seeing this message while browsing the web in either internet explorer or opera 9.7 (except worded differently). i have gotten this error on all roms i have flashed whether 6.1 or 6.5. its very annoying because once this message shows up in either browser websites stop functioning properly and i dont know why it even says it because my ram usage is in the 60s or low 70s when it does show up. i am now officially fed up with this error and want to know of a way to get rid of it, i can hardly get anything done on the web because of it and it will happen despite whatever else i have in the background (nothing). any ideas?
Could you be out of storage memory not ram memory?
Maybe after you browse for awhile your cache, cookies, and history eat up too much of your storage memory and give you the error. Try lowering your cache settings in Opera or freeing up some storage memory.
i have about 50mb of storage free so i doubt it would all run out after being on FB or any other site for a couple mins, but ill try the cache thing tho i dont think thats it
an old thread but my latest problem...
Any clues please guys?
Soft reset (the pin next to the SD slot under batt cover) didn't fix it?
Never heard of this, but I honestly never really ran WinMo much on my RHOD .
There is a memory limit for one process (32MB, unsure). So if you force Opera to load an oversized website such a error could occur.
Although I never had such a problem so this is only my theoretically guess.
