how much free program memory should I have?

[j0dan]

I'm running Black Dymond 3.5 on my TyTN and I'm not sure how much free program memory I'm supposed to have.

I rarely have over 9mb of Program memory free. Total of 48mb.

I'm getting tons of crashes (like many other people), have tried either running everything on the storage card, or everything on the device. Either way I'm restarting at least 10 times/day, even crashing during phone calls.

Many times programs won't even load either. (Opera especially)

Could this be due to the memory being short? If so, what tweaks should I be using to increase available RAM?

Thanks!

You may be a little low on programme memory but I think the crashes are more likely due to a variety of other factors that may be shown here:

so how much ram *should* I ideally have?

I'd say a bit more than the program that you are about to start needs. :D You might have tested (installed and uninstalled) many programs and that lets windows run unstable in many cases. And have you tried to give it to the service point and say that it crashes all day long? I think it could even be a hardware problem.

Thanks for the reply.

I seem to have fixed at least half of my crashing issues by removing Spb Phone.
I've started using phonealarm and that's been working great.

My biggest problem now is the phone slowing down (crashing maybe?) when receiving a call, to the point where I can't answer it.

Is there a specific # of free program memory I should be aiming for? I'm thinking of giving LVSW a try. just need to decide on which flavour.
