gwes.exe keeps growing - DCD3.2.2

[unL33T]

Does anyone else have an issue with gwes.exe using more and more RAM? After a soft reset it's at about 2.4mb of RAM usage. After a day or two it's around 6-8mb.

It could very well be some of the software or Today plugins I'm running but I don't think I'm running anything different than before. I'd really like to find this issue.

Today plugins I'm running:
- S2U2 1.05
- BatteryStatus 1.05.103
- PhoneAlarm 1.66.2
- SPB PocketPlus 4.0.2
- SPB Diary 2.5.8
- SBSH PocketWeather 2.0.4

I also have FlexMail 4.0 running the background most of the time and I have installed CooTek TouchPal 3.5.

I could be wrong, but I believe this is just a general windows mobile issue. there has been memory leak issues since before wm6.0 which required resets after significant use.

You could be right but I didn't see an issue until recently.

I'm pretty sure I've read in a few places that the SPB apps will drain a bit, so I mostly go with an alternative if possible on those. I've also experienced a leak with S2U2 when I'm using a really big animated .gif, but other than that, it seemed ok. Can't speak to PhoneAlarm much, but I've been using BatteryStatus since I had my HTC Wizard, and it's a great app that is usually the first I install when I switch ROMs, which seems like several times a month.

I'll be honest, I'm overly addicted to ensuring I have a lot of memory at all times...If it goes below 18MB free I'm freaking out.

You might try hard resetting your phone after backing up what you can, and starting fresh. Install one app at a time, and give yourself some time between that and installing the next one to see if you can isolate it. That's what I do when I get an app that does that, and it seems to work pretty well.

You could also try ACBTaskman, it has the ability to log processes and battery drain, etc. It's ten bucks or less, I'm not sure there's a free app that's quite as nice for logging. Try that, or search for a free equivalent, and monitor the rise and fall of your memory, cpu, battery, etc to a file for a few hours.

I hope someone will ever mod the WM6.1 to be ligher so we can run it without so many memory issues on the Titan.

To its defense though, WM6.1 is much better at managing the memory that it does have, so you can be running at 5MB free and for the most part run just like you would if you had 25.

That doesn't really get us anywhere though, because the lack of our RAM internally. 25MB free at startup with the Titan is pretty good. It does suck that we don't have more, but everything I run seems to run pretty well for me anyway, so I don't complain too often.

I have no issue with the limited amount of RAM if it can be cleared up. This gwes.exe keeps growing from ~2.4mb up to 4.5mb in half a day.

25MB free at startup with the Titan is pretty good.
What ROM are you running to get 25MB free at startup?

I get 17MB with my own cooked ROM. I used to get 21MB with the same settings and apps on my old Apache.

I had enabled Error reporting and When I invoke an application (for ex : Test.exe) I'll get gwes.exe error msg on WM 5 and if I use the same application on WM 6.1(HTC touch Diamond) I'll Test.exe error.

If I disable error reporting no such error msg will pop up.

How i can solve this in the application?
