I am using ipaq 6915 foe a 2 month and discover that program memory is decreasing from some reason.When I do soft reset it start like 32 mb free and after 4-5 day usage it going down until reach 25 mb free.At that point i can't start hp camera. bluetooth or other programs.Tested with no other program installed.I tried to discover with task manager to see what kind of proccess is running in program memory but task manager works only after soft reset when amount of memory going down it stack and only help a soft reset again.
Is there anyone who has a simillar problem?
Best regards

Experience the same issue of memory leak too, but thought it to be related to other installed software.
Will see to do a fresh install to see...

leak memory notwitstanding, with 25MB you should still be able to run camera, bluetooth and what not.
what software have you installed?

I found a explanation about not working hp camera,bluetooth etc it is problem when I change reginal settings.Those application works only under english US settings that is HP bug.But it still have leaking memory issue that hapend because again another bug.When I press "x" button or ok to close some window it is not really close it which cause process to stay hang out in memory.Another problem is that application phone multiple it self three time (unknown reason) which again cause memory leaking.No other application installed than HP default.I send all those info to HP but still no answer.
Thanks

That is the way m$ works on wm5. They think it's a good idea that hitting the X button only minimizes the software and doesn't close it.
Really stupid! and annoying...

There are free third party apps that allow you to fully close apps not just minimize. And I can see why you think this is "stupid" there's a perfectly good explanation for this: As apps open they use up a quantity of memory and when they close, this cache of mem doesn't always gets cleared out - this is most apparent with activesync, everytime that apps goes on it uses a small amount of mem that doesn't free up. So leaving some apps like contacts and whatnot running in background actually is better in some cases. But like I said it's an easy fix. Re: mem leak, I'd check what else you have running, some today plugins like the gauges and meters stuff really use up a lot of memory and also affects battery performance as it's always polling the device for status.
