Program Mem (RAM) getting less&less

[lve0200]

Dear All,
I run the O2 XDA as is w/ 4 heavy add applications, Navi, PIM, Wallet and Blackberry.
I start w/ 50% RAM usage after soft-reset. After some days I see 75%

There is either a memory leak in the applications, or DLLs are sitting there and are not unloaded from mem.

IS THERE ANYWHERE A TOOL TO MANAGE AND REVIEW THE DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION (RAM) ??

Thank you for info. :confused:

I am not aware of one. The Sktools application has some useful clean-out stuff and has an option to manage running processes. It does not sadly show their %Ram usage figures.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
May be somebody else from the R&D side has something to say.
I recognised that the sum of RAM usage, as indikated by tools like SK or Taskmanager does not at all come close to the RAM usage indicated by System resources.

Sorry to post to myself,

but I found out that after soft reset, Task manager tool and mem maid show significantly different memory allocation for the processes running after reset. For example filesys 2,85 Mb versus 2,4 Mb.
What to believe ??

All in all, I come close to 8 Mb mem usage for the processes. with 49 Mb free, I count 56 Mb. If the total RAM is 64Mb, where are the other 8 Mb? Can this be other code, copied into RAM for execution ?
Does somebody know, if the display has its own memory ?
