I have Oxios Hibernate, but after it's been on a few hours I still experiences about a 6% memory creep (I boot with about 59% and over time get to around 65%). Oxios clears about a meg of RAM (or is it ROM?), and killing ActiveSync clears another percent point or so, but I'm just curious to know if anyones found a way to either prevent the creep or clear up the gain?

I have very few issues with the shell itself. Beautifully designed and works like a dream. I think my only complaint (aside from the creep) is that I much prefer iContact over the shells contatct manager.
I also noticed that after the device has been on for a little while I had trouble editing a calendar event. I would click on the event to edit the title and it would close the editing screen and kick me back to the homepage. After a hard reset it no longer did this.
Same with a game I have called Another world. The device had been on for several hours and had experienced some memory creep (about 6%). The game hung and the D-pad seemed functionless (on my Titan 6800). However, the hard reset button still worked, and killed the program for me. I performed a hard reset and booted the game and it worked fine.
I believe the memory creep is causing issues with these programs.
Anyone else?

Also, I am very much thinking of getting a TouchPro. Does anyone think the added RAM, ROM and Processor speed would change this, or could this be a beta bug (the shell is still in Beta, correct?).

Thanks again!

I'm experiencing the leak too. I use SK Free-up RAM and Oxios, and neither bring me back to where I should be. That ranks #1 among my grievances with this software:
  1. Memory Leak
  2. Recent Calls - when clicking on a contact in recent calls, it shouldn't automatically dial. That's annoying
  3. Screen lag on rotate is awful, only because it slows down the rotate for every other app as well!

All said, I have made the switch from TF3d and don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. I love this! (RUnning TouchPro on VZW)
