i havnt seen this issue addressed onywhere in these threads so will the developers note this and take care of it please.

Um... maybe a dumb question... or maybe not, but are you really closing the apps by going into settings>memory>running programs and stopping them or are you just quitting them with the "ok" or "X" button?

I monitor my memory very closely. I don't see this problem at all with this ROM and it hasn't really been reported by very many others, so I'm guessing the problem is more likely related to an app you are running. Instead of instructing the "developers" (lol... got a kick out of that one) to "take care of it", it would be much more helpful if you mentioned what software you are running when you experience this issue and how you are closing the apps.

I'm not sure about the other poster, but when I notice the leak I go into the memory app and there is nothing running (except Activesync sometimes).... I'm not sure about him, but mine is definitely a leak... And like I said, I don't run many apps at all, strictly email and palringo... IE every now and then but that is literally it...

read a bit carefully before u ask the "maybee a dumb or not" question. he carefully mentioned he closed all the applications using the task manager and ever tried it thru menmaild. and i quoted that in my answer. this is a bugs thread n its logical to report issues here. and i just confirmed sumone elses bug so it means other people do have it. i have been using this rom for over a month now without any serious issues. iv havnt had to soft reset much at all. i just do it recently to get that 26 mb instead of the leaked 18-20mb.and wanted to find out sum answers from more experienced people.

applications loaded
MSVC 1.6
GOOGLE MAPS-closed always
SKYPE -closed always
SPB POCKET PLUS-disabled on today screen just the safe mode enabled to save my hard reset., even the close button from spb is disabled. in fact use the spb plus only to soft reboot sumtimes n basically the safe mode.
octro talk- closed always
ppc geeks phone codes
asb power meter - always closed
bad sectors id transfer v 1.03
lennysh voice command fix wm6
adobe flashlite -closed usually
szabi cube launcher closed
macromedia flash player activex
touchpal coo tek.. not used either.
the closed always applications are just installed n used rarely. and enabled not to start on startup or anything. always check the x button to make surenothing is running before i reported this issue.
and it was already present even before the flash n touchpal n macromedia n cube were installed.
i doubt most of these sitting applications wud cause a memory leak . but then maybee they might. the sbp pocket plus seems like the likely offender but i dare uninstall it coz of the safe mode feature.
sumone with a clean raw wm6 can check their phones thru the x button(1.51 version closes most applications when u click it unlike the version 2 and previous versions.) and confirm whether they have any memory leak issues.
it drains very slowly like a few kb at a time when u use applications .. and doesnt come back when u close them..
thanks

Since you did not mention details in your post, I figured asking the "dumb" question was the prudent thing to do. As I've learned from these threads, quoting something doesn't necessarily mean you did the same thing. You've now answered it...

Anyway, I did not say that other people don't have it. I simply stated that it hasn't been reported by "many others". Out of the 650 or so posts in this thread, I can only find a handful of similar posts. My point was that some have it and some don't... yet we are all running the same ROM. So, it follows that the problem is likely induced or caused by an outside influence (ie, software) that not everyone uses. Or, maybe it's just that nobody notices it...

However, telling the developers to "take care of it", without providing details isn't really helpful. These guys are donating their time to our benefit and they rely on us to help them identify and resolve issues. You've provided some helpful information now. I would ask others having memory leak problems to do the same, so that maybe the community can come up with some commonality that will help resolve it.
