A hard reset is where you reformat your storage space, essentially wiping out everything and returning your device to its factory state.
Luckily since WM5 started using real storage instead of RAM, this won't happen by "accident" by taking out the battery anymore.



Funny, the folks on XDA claim its a matter of MB's with the new one. 2Mb's to be exact. Can anyone confirm the memory usage of this vs. the previous version?
I'm not going to install it if it sucks another 2mb!

I just read the thread over at XDA and it looks like only one person reporting having 2MB less ram after installing this. Before that, someone else reported that it uses a small amount of memory and most people are saying it's an improvement over version 1.5. I wouldn't go with just one person's experience saying that it uses 2MB of RAM. I highly doubt this program uses that much RAM. It's designed to help you keep RAM free so it would kinda defeat the purpose. Why not just install it and see how it works out for you? You can always uninstall and go back to the previous version.

Just installed on my Mogul. I don't seem to notice any increase in memory usage.

I saw a drop in my ram as well as it messed up my home tab with spb shell and I could no longer get comm manager to fully close by hitting the x button. Went back to the original version.

How did it mess up your home tab in spb mobile shell?

OK, well after installing this and testing it for a few days, I noticed my battery was draining faster than usual and this program was eating up a lot of memory. Not just 2MB more than normal. I mean a lot more. I would normally have 18-20MB free at any given time, with this program running it would go down to 10-12MB free after only a few hours. Even using Oxios to free memory would only bring it back to 15MB. There is a definite memory leak with this version and I have since gone back to 1.5 and my phone appears to be back to normal.

I ran into a problem on this version on 2 different 6800s and had to go back to 1.51. I set it to close the app when you tap the "x". However, it would also close windows when I would click the "ok" in the upper right. For whatever reason, it would close the window whether it had ok or x listed there.

Been using this now for over a week with no problems. Glad to see it will be in the kitchen.

This new X-Button is also having negative effects on my Titan, I used to hover around 17 megabytes, only now it doesn't reclaim the memory back and hovers around 15. I'm also giong back to the 1.51 versoin. It doesn't use more memory, it just doesnt' let you reclaim it once it is used.

is there a way to map the ok button to close instead of minimize. WM5 listed OK as an assignable button. As far as I can tell in WM6 on my mogul I cannot.

i just went from WM6 on my 6700 to a 6800 yesterday so I am still learning
