Im pretty new to pocket pcs, with my Wing being the first. When i load my phone up i usually have 15.xx mb available (is this good?) and thats with fring (chat client) automatically starting up, but i usually close it. I use my slide to unlock program by when i turn off my screen (tap power button) and when i hit any key the slide to unlock automatically comes up. After just using this once, my available memory drops down to 9mb. Is this normal or should i get new slide to unlock/ get rid of it.

How much memory should i try to keep available for program memory and what can i do to free up more program memory.

thanks a lot,
bline

edit: i thought this sounded interesting but i need help with it so anyone that does it can u help me?

4) Move/Remove StartUp links:
...a) Using Resco File Explorer ...
...b) make directory "\Windows\StartUpDisabled"
...c) if you don't use MyFav5 Plan
......copy "\Windows\StartUp\My5MsgCenter.lnk" to "\Windows\StartUpDisabled\My5MsgCenter.lnk"
...d) if you don't use Voice Commands often (you can still manually start app)
......copy "\Windows\StartUp\Voice Command.lnk" to "\Windows\StartUpDisabled\Voice Command.lnk"


5) Backup & Remove Services
...a) using Resco Registry editor ...
...b) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services"
...c) if you don't use MyFav5 Plan (SMSCSend links to my5client.dll, I don't have My Fav 5 plan, so I don't need this service)
......1) click and hold "SMSCSend"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save SMSCSend reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMSCSend" from registry
...d) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services"
...e) if you don't use Windows Live (don't know for sure, but I think this service is what slowly drains available memory, finally forcing a daily reboot. don't have to 'daily reboot' after disabling this service)
......1) click and hold "Windows Live"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save Windows Live reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live" from registry
...f) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init"
...g) if you don't use the little 'quick launch' Tray App icons on the bottom of the Today Screen
......1) click and hold "Launch92"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save Launch92 reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\Launch92" from registry


6) Soft reset & you are done ... a quick, and responsive Wing with much better memory usage.
...a) try this basic setup for a day to see what it is like without adding your favorite Today Screen plugins. Then add something in and compare memory usage. A lot of apps available now seem to need a updated version to be optimal with WM6.
...b) I installed ...
......1) SPB Mobile Shell 1.5 /w today screen plugin
......2) SPB Insight /w today screen plugin and 20+ feed sources
......3) pTravelAlarm
......4) Some non-memory resident programs and games
...c) getting 21 MB free on boot
...d) after all day phone, camera, email, insight, and IE browser useage, memory hovers around 14-18MB free
