Im pretty sure that just makes sure your sprint data settings are correct, so you dont get connection errors and stuff...

and second off, slide2unlock is a mem hog and has many mem leak issues, im sure they are caused by that...

There's something wrong with your setup. Since the new ROM I've been running very controlled experiments. I started of with nothing loaded and no email service polling, didn't make any calls for 24 hours. I was left with >90% (you read that right) battery power after 24 hours, which tells you that the radio, the signal coverage in one's area, and backlight settings are the culprit in terms of battery life.

WRT to the memory leak... there is none. I have since loaded several HTC add-ins (including HTC Task Manager to close apps when you exit them) and the latest Windows Live Services, and started email polling on 2 different accounts (Gmail pop and Windows Hotmail), and my memory never goes below 18MB once all the apps are closed, which means WM6 is caching what it needs and nothing more.

The new ROM is a good step forward. I've got loaded anything I wanted from the Touch ROM and my Mogul runs great.

divxrippimp is correct about the purpose of CM Guardian, and it is safe to remove as well.

WM6 is *not* the culprit for something as ridiculous as going down to 4mb of memory without use. In testing my own 2.14 and Vogue hybrid, I ran it from thursday to tuesday, with the normal slew of apps (HTC Home, Today Agenda, Qmenu, Picsel, etc etc). Not once did my phone fail to recover on its own to a minimum of 20mb, most times it leveled between 22 and 24mb. I didn't softreset untill Tuesday, and that reset was "just because" to gauge starting memory. I'm also not a "light" phone user. Minimum 3 hours of talk per day, BT on 24/7, PocketIRC in and out, lots of net surfing, POP3 and Exchange server.

Don't blame the operating system when results are so drastically varied. If it were WM6, every person would be facing the same issue. Look to your programs, and start pulling them out one by one until you discover the real cause. (I personally recommend removing Windows Live entirely... and anything else that could be a problem, whether it is a part of the standard program set or not.)

I personally have had multiple issue on my mogule until I flashed the 2.17 ROM everything suddenly started workng fine, but I did notice the memory leak esterday. From 137 MB to 51 MB and all I installed was the Sprit Cube addon. so I think the guy from the post above is right. The leakage issue probably various.

That's my plan...
I have removed the cube with no resolve and am working on the other goodies. Since Windows Live in included with the ROM (I think), how do I go about removing it. I don't use it at all.

Thanks!

Co Sign......I have noticed the same thing. I have let my phone run for 24hrs with slide2unlock running and my phone stays at 18-19mb free consistently. Sometimes its even at 21mb free. I have the HTC home plug in addition to numerous other apps and haven't experienced as much Mem leakage as the previous Roms. This 2.17 Rom is good.

^^ Agree with DogGuy. This "memory leak" thing is totally out of control.
WM6 does not have a memory leak. For the 600 billionth time.
I started just ignoring these threads, but its appalling to me that people are still writing them!

Huh??
I never said that it was WM6. I am just looking for some insight as to which program it may be. Please read the whole thread before getting frustrated. I know it's easy with all of the Bill Gates haters out there. Instead of pointing fingers, they should trade in what they have for an iPhone!
In fact... I have exactly the same programs installed now as I have with every ROM that I have installed. The issue is the same with ALL versions. I know it has to be a program issue.

DogGuy was referring to Genjinaro's post claiming he assumed it was just WM6 in general.

I definitely agree with DogGuy, however. I am constantly floating in the 60-70% memory usage range depending on what I am doing. It will spike when I'm doing a lot, but it always gives it back.
