22-25 depends on the phone at the time

19-22 depending on how I have it set up.

18-21. I think what is more important is the fact that I have not soft reset in a day with PocketBreeze, WeatherPanel, PhoneWeaver, and iLauncher running on the today screen and SPB Insight running in the back ground I have 11 MB...

I just did a soft reset and mine shows I'm using 29.33MB/47.42MB

I do have the HTC and Spb home screen plugins loaded along with one that tracks/shows my plan usage and the HTC X-Button. I also have SDialer loaded and, of course, ActiveSync. I can't think of anything else that might be loaded.

20-21mb with the 6tab Kaiser home pluggin, and pbreeze running...

After a soft-reset, I'm showing 23-25mb free. That's with iLauncher, HTC X-button and Vista Battery Gauge running.

LOL, that won't happen.

The only reason that slider bar existed in 2003 is because all memory was based on RAM in the older devices- there was no REAL storage memory.

An older device, such as the original ipaq 3600 series, had 64mb of SHARED memory- RAM and Storage. That meant that if you installed 45mb of apps and files (they didn't even have storage cards on the original devices), you were left with only 15mb to actually RUN anything.
Palm Pilots were the same way back then. The biggest disadvantage of doing it this way was then when your battery ran out, so did all your storage!

Later 2003 devices added some dedicated internal storage (seperate from the main storage which was still ram), so that you could store things that would survive a battery outage, and often even a hard reset.

WM5 introduced the end of shared memory for WM, and now we have dedicated EPROM chips for storage and RAM that is independant.
So, that's why the slider is not available anymore. You don't have 128mb of RAM available in the mogul... only storage memory (slightly slower but more reliable than RAM in the long run).

Hope that clears things up!

Now, why the available memory on the mogul is so erratic is a mystery to me as well...

And why there are such huge memory leaks on the phone. I leave the phone off for 18 hours and I'm short at least 5MB that nothing short of a soft-reset will get back (and yes, I've made sure there's no programs open and used programs to 'free' used memory).

This is getting kinda annoying if i dont turn it off and back on every day i t goes to 14 mb free with NOTHING open

Yeah i was in opera almost all night at work yesturday had to soft reset 2x it would hit a low of 2mb and like a high of 5 or 6 i think it was.
