WM6 memory leak?

---

Has anyone else noticed that the memory in WM6 seems to drain as time goes on? I have tried closing all open apps through the task manager (Dash), but at the end of the day there only seems to be about 3k max of memory left? Although WM6 seems to handle programs well at low memory, I would like to see what's causing this.


Any ideas?

I've noticed after a while it fails to display the home screen. Might be related to memory so I'll check how much is free next time that happens.

mine has never failed to show the homescreen, but i use the default wm theme. i have read about others that have had the disappearing homescreen when using the windows live theme

Yeah. The leak is awful. I have deleted all kinds of stuff, but even with Oxios Close, I can't get above 10000 after half a day, and have to restart.

Might be similar to what Vista does... uses up all available memory for caching... and if more is needed, it just flushes some of the cache to fit it in.

Not a bad idea, since it speeds up frequently used programs.

i know i sound like a noob this is the first time i ever ask something like this but where did you all fine ur wm6 for ur dash thanks!!

I have also noticed this leak problem. It gets down to 4MB memory and quiting all problems using spb pocket plus does not clear any memory. Only a soft reset fixes it.

I can see how it's a good idea in terms of caching but that only seems to work until the memory gets down to 4M then any new apps running become painfully slow and sometimes the phone appears to have hung completely.

closing all apps in WM5 used to free back up to ~24MB

I don't have any of the problems with painfully slow apps, even when there is no free memory. I'm pretty sure it's not a memory leak, and is just caching.

I get the same thing...

I have made it a habbit to hit back after every thing I do, it helps.

Also when you go to task manager and you want to stop programs stop them all individually then click stop all, that seems to help me a bit.

I used to get 3k free by doing stop all now i get over 9k most of the time when i stop em one by one then doing stop all.

We need to plug this leak up!!
