Duh! My Orbit ate my memory !!!

[devdarshan]

I noticed something peculiar today and wanted to know if anyone else faced it...Tried searching forum on this...but not seen..

I have an O2 Orbit with Bepe WM6 no fancy apps except Tomtom.

Today drove appx 40x2 miles return - the GPS worked fine, battery was great. But when I started off I remembered my Program memory was appx 24.8 free and a soft reset maybe a day before - by the time i returned home in evening - it went down to 13.2MB free - there were no programs running - i had closed tomtom and anything else that was running and still did not get my memory back.

I noticed the memory was low - coz once i returned home and switched off tomtom - i received a call and found the keypad very slow and barely unresponsive...so checked running programs and found calender running...shut that and still the mem was low...no impact !
then when i did a soft reset - voila! it was back ! the memory came back to 24.6 - so where did the memory go?

Is tomtom causing a leak???

is is windows itself?

any thoughts?

I am having a similar problem with both B&B Rom (v3) and the official HTC ROM.

After soft reset the phone has 24mb of program memory. I have the X button set to close apps on press of X so I know that programs are not left running.

After about 24-36 hours I have 2mb left. This is happening every soft reset.

I only have the following installed if it helps:-

WM6 HTC Rom
Phoneweaver (on today screen)
TodayAgenda (on today screen)
pTravelAlarm (on today screen)
TomTom 6 (installed but not used yet)
VJDevicelock
BatteryStatusExt 1.04
oxiosmemory
WindowsLive (on today screen) - ROM built in version set to sync with hotmail "as items arrive". I do not use Messenger

I hope that this can give some insight as I am getting fed up with having to soft reset every day or 2!

Pretty sure it's a windows fault. I also saw that using the first versions of WM6 we had, and it didn't tally with any application use.

I no longer see it using the same applications in a WM6 v3.7 environment, so my advice to you is upgrade that OS.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I am using ROM version: 3.7.707.1 which is the official "HTC Asia" release, and the problem still exists.

I am using the same version and I do not have any problems, no memory loss, nothing.

Are you using Tomtom/GPS also? Maybe it has something to do with the GPS?

I am using Tomtom 6, Pocket informant, Resco explorer, Resco Radio, Core Player, Resco Audio, Photo viewer, Style Tap, Spb Brain evolution, and Virtual pool mobile. All with no problems.

Please see me previous post "TomTom 6 (installed but not used yet)"

Hey.. maybe it works, kind of like the RAM in a computer. when you use your com. it also fills up your ram.

Maybe the phones just dont discard the temp info in the RAM as well as our computers??

...Just a thought
