been testing out the new rom for a bit and the memory management issue is there. at boot i am 95mb free. after 2 calls and a few cab installs i am at 75mb free with no tasks running. soft reset brings it back to 95mb free

this seems normal to me. I have installed the latest rom as well. Pretty much any rom with sense 2.5 is going to be hovering in the 65 -75 mb range. If you start using certain processes and apps, it takes up memory. today I used the camera a good bit and reviewed the pics in htc album. Now that puppy uses alot of resources. Right now I'm sitting at 78mb with nothing open. recently sent a few emails though. Before doing that it was over 82mb. Still very responsive though. Video playback in certain formats can suffer if memory dips below 60mb but I usually switch to titanium when doing this, wait there's no titanium!! oh well

i just happened to notice that the memory isnt clearing out like it should when apps are closed. even a ram purge wont restore to pre use levels. where in comparison 23120 seems to release memory when apps are closed with no need to soft reset or do a ram purge.

whats the issue with memory management anyway? If its got 75 mb free, what does this mean? Programs will open up slower? Just curious, i dont know whats the whole dealio with the memory management

Having strange issues with resetting. On the latest (6.5.3) I lost the phone app. Hitting the call button or trying to launch the phone from the start menu did nothing and the signal icon in the taskbar was missing. I reset the phone (with the reset button) and it HARD RESET. The 6.5.5 one from the other day did similar HARD resets.

odd but at the moment we are all on the same rom ... most of the time when i put out a rom i continue to develop until the next rom but since this is my first 653 rom sint the touch pro we are using the same thing i had ran this since it was created and have not had a hard reset issue this mainly happens as a result of an app that borks your registry what do you have installed

All I had installed was Slacker Radio. Tried a different ROM - didn't install a thing - and have had the same problems. Now I'm wondering if there's a problem with my hardware. Trying the official Sprint update now to see if it happens with that. If so, it's time to call support to get a new phone!

When you try dialing a contact by typing the name out, it will not show up in the call history as calling them. This is a recent problem i have noticed in the 231XX series, Icey found a fix for it, maybe talk to him about it, but Tmartin's rom also has this same problem.
