orange E650

[rjborge]

Hello Hello,

Just got my SPV-E650 (orange) after having a good research of reviews. Everything was so positive i thought i could not go wrong! problems:

1. RAM - I think applications should close once you exit them. However i can tolerate task maanger so this isnt my real problem - The thing is, even when you close all application using Task Manager the RAM sometime remains really low - around 1mb to 4mb! NOT GOOD AT ALL! i tried refresh but it does nothing - in the end the phone has to be switched on and off as i can find no other way to sort it - i just dont see where all the memory goes! memory leak perhaps? anyone else had this problem?

2. In reviews no mention seems to be made at the painfully slow screen rotate from potrait to landscape - much much slower than the m3100.

To be honest it is a great little phone and i think i would put up with any problems as it is a nice little piece of HTC craftwork!


But if there is a soultion to the RAM/task manger issue i would be happy lad!

thanks

Look what ROM version you have installed! Sounds like an old one. Under settings -> device information. Flash a newer one, if you want to do that, the screen rotation will be faster and the memory leak isn't as bad with newer ROMs, mine usually stays above 20 Mbyte with a 1.27 ROM, but there are newer ROMs out there. Also you should have a look at AppCloser: http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/apitman/appcloser/index.php

ROM version is : 1.22.61.3

not really tech savy in this field. how would i go about making the change your advising?

also is there an application name list? as in all the .exe application names?

[frauhottelmann]

Well you should probably first try the appcloser and if that isn't enough, read the Vox Wiki on Flashing a ROM, there are enough on the ftp. If your not so good with all the tech stuff, you should rather try a shipped ROM than a cooked one, espacially since New Guava is more a beta version right now! But anyways read the Wiki first (link is in my signature)!

is there an pplication name list - as in all the .exe names?

[frauhottelmann]

I don't think so, just look in a task manager that shows you the process names like this one (http://www.fewbits.com/appmgr/)! and then add them to the list.

Well reading the VOX wiki has not really helped. It seems like a far to tricky method to fix the problem. The app closer doesnt really help. the problem seems to be:

That when an application is open the RAM goes down. When the app is closed it goes back up , but not back to where it was. Therfore every couple of hours the RAM has dropped to between 1mb and 3mb even if no appilcations are running.

I am surprised that other people have not had the same problem and that there is not a simple user friendly fix?

I have the same problem, its very minor though and sometimes I also regain the "lost" memory when closing programs.

I tend to close them one by one, and make sure I don't have too much open. Ofc I don't use that many programs at once :)

If Memory does get low, a soft reboot (turn it off/back on) fixes it.

Now if only my screen hadn't cracked today I'd be all happy :(
