Fix for 2.17 Memory Leak?
 

Overall, I couldn't be happier with the latest offering from Sprint/HTC. Everything works great for me (including BT) as long as I soft reset every morning. I think that the memory leak is worse now. I didn't install the Sprint add-ons and after a reset, I have about 21 MB free. If I let it charge (connected to PC) all night, I have only 4MB left! Has anyone found a fix for this?

Here is what I have running:
I don't think that a lot of these are needed but one of them has to be the culprit.

My memory does go down, but not that much that fast. It must be one of the apps you have installed. I played around with s2u2 and noticed my memory go down faster. It might have been something else, but I haven't noticed it since I removed it. Try disabling or uninstalling it and see if that makes a difference.

You can also kill the HTC_CM_Guardian from \windows\startup. Maybe someone here can speak on the ftouchflo as I don't use that myself.

For those curious, that screenshot came from a desktop app called SOTI Pocket Controller. It's a really nice app.

I always assumed it was WM6 alone causing the drain. :/

I have had success plugging the leak by installing the latest Windows Live services.

That said, you're running several apps that I don't use, so your results may vary.

Anyone know what tasks are not necessary?

After I started this thread, I seen your message about that and installed it even though I don't use Live. I also removed the HTC_CM_Guardian app (what is that??) and ftouchflo. I'm wondering if SunnyContacts or S2U2 is giving me troubles?

Here are my changes:

Johnny, this task manager is from a great program called Pocket Controller: http://www.soti.net/

wow this software rocks!!! thank you!

Sure thing. I have used it for about a year now and I love it. A little pricey though.

Its a great program. I use it all the time to play with my phone while working.

What is the HTC_CM /Guardian?

So what does HTC_CM_Guardian do? What is that linked to? Also, the new windows live service has helped your memory or what?
