Did Not Hard Reset Before Flashing to 6.5 , Reason for RAM leak?!?

It helps a lot to hard reset before upgrading. However it isn't going to help with the low RAM issue. 6.5 + Sense 2.5 just use up more memory. The highest I've gotten it is a little over 80mb free after a soft reset. How many programs do you plan on running at the same time anyway? Should be fine without running out.

Well funny thing after a soft reset , i saw i booted up with 62% and now running on 64% with no programs running .

I dont usually run alot of programs 2gether. its mostly opera 10 , text here and there check email. iJust want to utilize all the possilbe RAM i can to maintain it running top noche.

Well, in a way, having more RAM in use is what keeps you running top notch. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It doesn't make anything go faster when it isn't being used. The less free memory you have, the more you are utilizing. If you aren't running out, then you don't have a problem.

If you really need more free RAM there are some ROMs that use less.
