How do i free up RAM?

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Hi there guys.

I have an HTC Touch. I has what seems to be 48MBs of RAM. But i never have anything less than 40MB used.

I'm using the standard ROM (any tips on a good ROM to change to?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is 40 Used causing you a performance issue? Other than running a MemMaid clean as was previously suggested I don't really see 40 MB used as a problem. I have 44 in use myself as I write this.

Just because you may have closed certain apps, the more stuff you have on your today screen (plugins and such), the more memory will be used.

dont complain! you probably have twice as much free memory running alot of programs as i do right after soft reset lol

can u place programs on your device onto the storage card (sorry i have been looking and cant find any info)

tlpalmer01, when you install yes.

I don't see what the real problem is. If you have 48mb free (40mb used) then you still have a lot of space free, and nothing to worry about. Now if it's affecting programs that you want to run (that use 48mb or more) then I can see it as being a problem. Do remember that WM6 does not free up all of a programs memory after use, so that if you re-open the program then it will run faster.

Be thankful you don't have a Mogul, or you would be going crazy only having 10mb free!

If you disable touchflo, you can gain 4.5 megs. As everyone else has said, why worry.

on fresh restart I have about 70 free and have allot of programs on my Touch. When it bogs down I run memaid

I kept running out of memory on my 6700. It took me weeks to figure it out. I was moving notes, ringtones, and any other files I could move over to the storage card, just trying to free up memory. I finally figured out that I hadn't ever cleared my IE cache. I went into IE, Options>Memory, and cleared the cache & history. I went from 0.12 mb free to 20 mb free.

Amazing what I could forget to do on a phone that I regularly do on my PC.

Memmaid is okay but it is not the best ram cleaner. I have found that SKTools FreeUP RAM as Oxios are both much much better.

As you have 2x more ram than I have ever seen available on my phone I am inclined to tell you to take a hike! Just kidding.
