View Full Version : Reduce Processor Load?

With my phone at the Today screen, and no apps launched my WM 6.1 is running at 60-65%....

Is there any way to reduce it other than getting a new ROM? I'm VERY leary about upgrading the ROM, basically because I'm a serious newb with all this flashing and SPL stuff....

Thanks!

The percentages you're talking about are mem usage - not CPU usage :)

65% isn't that problematic.

Thank for the info!!

it got as high as 84% yesterday, and overnight sucked my battery life with nothing running...is there anything I can do to keep this low?

Thanks!

Are you sure you don't have anything running? When i close all running programs on my NIKI and return to homescreen, i have about 55%, with Win. mobile 6.1.
What have you tried..? Tried a soft or even better, a hard reset of your device?

That's a fair question, because I actually have to soft reset every once in a while after using various apps on my phone. I make sure that there's nothing running in the task manager as well.

Right now it's at about 70%....and that is after a soft reset.

Now, it's not modded (I have a Neon [Bell Canada HTC Touch Dual], so there's no ROM for it yet). Once there's a finished ROM for it, with all of the "muck" out of it, it's probably going to be a little better.

But I question if there's anybody out here who gets the original amount of memory back after closing some apps..?

When I start a lot of apps and close them again, the used mem percentage is always higher than before (I think WM doesn't unload some libraries 'til your memory gets full, because it doesn't hurt to keep them loaded and saves processor cycles)

I've found that as well. If I use enough apps, I have to turn my phone off and back on - eventually It gets over 80% (sometimes It's gone up to 90% with no apps running!)

I have the same problem. The memory kept going up in WM6.1. Any solution to this?
