RAM Leakage in WM6.5 WHY?

daddymikey1975 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-10-2010, 09:38 AM

ok go easy on me.. but is RAM leakage described as the following ?

soft reset and free RAM = 92mb. . then after a few hours, it drops down to, say 72mb ? with no programs running in the background ?

Just asking because I've never seen a definition or description.

Thanks

I use an app called htcaddicts - cleanRAM to free up RAM from time to time and it works really well for me. For more information about cleanRAM, you may find it at the following link:

CleanRam does help, but it never frees up all the Ram eventuality you would have to do a soft reset, so it's not a permanent solution to Ram Leakage. Plus cleamram doesn't work as good on Wm 6.5 and up. On 6.1 it worked wonders.

Yes.

Within 6 hours I'm usually down to 30MB remaining, with Opera and Mail running in the background. I crash almost every night. Anyone else have it that bad?

Edit: I tried the RAM cleaner that is baked into one of the ROMs; I forgot the name. It recovered about 3MB for me, which I decided wasn't enough to warrant using something like that. Turning off Sense helps, but I do sort of like it now as of v2.5.
