It's very annoying, I'm getting a "critically low storage memory" pop up, while I have 55mb storage mem free and 68mb program memory free...
So, I try to run this game, and the system hangs and pops up a low storage memory error. Then I reboot and I get like 2-3 pop ups while I have to enter PIN that the system is low on mem. Could it be that the game causes trouble or ROM trouble?
..The other threads in here didn't really answer this...
I had the same problem trying to run Android.
So I guess its just a software problem.
Yeah, I noticed it's software prob too. Another game did the same thing.
While COD2 and some other big size games run fine, some smaller size games gave me the problem.
Thanks for the answer

Hi, My Diamond seems to have memory leak issue.
I soft reset my device, the memory is 55% but after a activesyn the memory become 60%. If i open any program, the memory go up and will not release after the program is closed.
Any solutions?
Same solution as with any PC? Reboot.
My Diamond has been up to 70% memory, without any programs running.
This is why i think the RAM of Touch Diamond is not enough.
didn't run anything, but still got 65% or higher RAM usage. even with a Lite rom.
it sucks.

Make sure the application is closed, rather than minimized. Minimize an application has the benefit of being able to re-start quicker the next time. Closing (quiting) the application has the benefit of releasing the memory, if not all.
this is a WM6.1 issue not your diamond.
Guys, are there any tools which can let us check which applications or processes are occupying memory?

I just have it installed but so far I cannot find what I want.
How can I get the list of processes running in the background, just like what we usually do with Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows?

What programs do you have that wont run on 35% free ram?
even with 72% usage you still have over 30 megs free!
I have never had a problem running an app on my Diamond due to lack of ram.
How often are you seeing the "Not enough available ram" message?

Yeah I get the same sort of problem to,
Throughout the day, connecting my Diamond to my laptop at work, use activesync, update the weather, sending texts and also looking at pictures on my phone, and playing the occasional game, my memory will get to about 65% free.
Yes I can continue to use my phone, and its not a major problem but its a niggle that could do with being sorted.
When the memory usage gets to 70% I then Soft Reset the Device as this always speeds it up.
It is the best Windows Mobile phone ive owned, and I use the Soft Reset function alot less on my Diamond than I have before.
However it would be nice to own a Diamond without having to Soft Reset it so often. The memory leak issue needs to be fixed Microsoft!!!!!!! Take note!

When your diamond is with 70% or higher ram usage, try to play a song and then open the opera or IE, they will lag your music. You still think 30MB ram is that much?

Yip just did that
Memory was on 79% with Icontacts and Second Today Phone Alarm and Pocket Breez running
Started a song in Manila Music (Korn YAY!!!) listening on A2DP via my Plantronics 855 then opened a web site in Opera. as Opera was opening the song jumped twice for a split second and then played fine. I surfed a few sites and skipped songs using the headset controls all without problems Then I took a call and had one on hold all without a hitch, after I ended the second call the music started up again and I opened a new website
By now the memory was at 88% and it still worked fine.
Don't know if its the Rom I'm using (Shine On 1.5) but my device seems to cope with its ram with no problems. Even with only 13megs free ram Manila was as responsive as with 40megs free.

Hey guys,
Just a general question here. I always installed my programs on the storage card and never the device whenever I had the option but then I wondered is there a difference in terms of speed or anything? Are there certain programs I should be installing on the device and not storage card?
I did a search and didnt find anything.
Thanks
I dont think speed is the problem. I have never encountered any noticeable difference in speed. But I certainly had some stability problems with apps installed onto storage card.

Most of the time the read/write speed from storage card is sufficient to make the app run well from the storage card.
But because the storage card is controlled by a driver the stability can be a problem. I've heard from several sources that an on the storage card installed program running in the background can cause SoD's.
storage card is better for "storage" as applications use the main board memory better...
hmm ok, ill keep that in mind.
My xperia is randomly shutting down by itself for no reason, so Im wondering if thats a problem.
Ill just have it in my pocket and when I press the power button, instead of coming out of standby, it actually starts up.
Sometimes too when it starts up and it shows the sony ericsson screen it will just shut off there too.
Generally I recommend you the following: Don't install system relevant programs onto your storage card. By system relevant I mean all programs that are autostarted or otherwise associated with the os. For example today plugins, programs that replace certain native applictations like messaging etc, task managers...
By following those rules I have no problems at all with unstable applications.
when in suspended mode sd interface is turned off so programs running from there will not run
For some reason,
when i download apps,
and my internal memory gets to 20MB or a bit lower,
The phone wont stop alerting me that its low on memory.
Does anybody else have this,
20Mb is enough isnt it..
5MB would be more suited for alerting,
or maybe even 1MB.
just wanted to know if its my device being a little b...h!
or if its default for everyone.
Happens the same to me. I've always got it below 20MB so i've always got the notification. Don't know how to put it off though.
How hard would it be to change the Lag Fix to use a small 128Mb virtual RAM drive, rather than the internal SD?
this will solve the corruption seen often in many of the devices people have reported problem with during install, use, and dead internal SD, also avoid unnecessary partition changes which are usually the cause of some SD getting damaged in the process, and voiding the warranty.
in a way the RAM drive will work more very much like a swapspace/pagefile to cache the most recently used files and writing them back only if changes have been made
if it a new App that loads up needs more buffer/cache than it's available it'll write back all the stuff on the cache back to the physical SD to free up space for the new App being loaded.
Also apps that are too big for the 128MB RAM drive will be loaded directly into memory bypassing the RAM drive, and it will safe files directly back to Internal SD, the only times this are expected to happen are with Games, HD movies and such
this will keep the phone fast and responsive, meanwhile reducing the usage of the internal SD
ideally the size of the virtual RAM drive should be configurable to like 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 MB, or more (after froyo)
BTW... the goal of this is to help people getting into the situation of getting the internal SD corrupted

We already only have like 300mb ram total, with less than 200 free. With a 128mb ram drive, I don't think we'd have enough ram to really run more than 1 app! Plus loading apps into and out of the ram drive would be pretty slow, I think? Managing how to load-unload apps from the ramdrive sounds very very difficult too. You'd modify the dalvik system I guess? Wow, I have no idea how!
yes currently we only have a bit over 300 MB to use, and with a RAM drive it'll be even less, but once we move to Froyo we might be able to get full access to our 512 MB of RAM.
From PC experience even when you have little RAM (512MB Win9x, Win2000) a small RAM drive can still improve system performance drastically even when after mounting the RAM drive you have less RAM available.
Most apps in android even though they reside in memory they don't consume RAM/CPU cycle unless it's actively running in the background or foreground
this can be seen clearly in the stock Task Manager
so even though the amount of RAM is reduced, end users should theoretically be able to run several apps in memory and no experience any delay as only the active 3~5 tasks are swapping in the RAM drive then going back to idle.
in the old times Win9x/2K didn't have that, all the stuff kept running in the back-burner even when the software & services were idle, yet it still worked better with a RAM drive installed than working off the slow 5400 rpm hard drive swap (very similar to the problem with have with the RFS from Samsung vs. Ext2,3,4 FS from Linux)
the current methods that you are the other guys are using for the Lag Fix could work if we can tweak them some how to hold the space elsewhere (External SD), or as you said if we can add 2GB of RAM into the phone
this will give advantage to speed/cache buffer, and prevent wear on the External SD, and even if the External SD does dies, it can be easily replaced without having to send the phone back to Samsung to replace the internal SD.
Hello AllGamer!
Actually data is written to disc because it needs to, that's what differentiate "Ram" and "disk"
The better solution would be to determine exactly where the problem is, and if RFS is the problem, to work towards fixing the bottleneck in the RFS drivers (if possible).
I'm thoroughly confused, i'm getting low storage notifications, BUT I can't even see what it's related to...
From root explorer:
/datadata is 143MB used 278MB free
/data is 529MB used 962MB free
In the apps menu
Internal is 429MB used 1GB free
SD card 2.8GB used 2.9GB free
RAM 280MB used 129MB free
In about phone
ive got access to 409MB memory.
So at which point is anything there to be alarmed about storage/RAM wise!? I'm confused! I've read into datadata fix and few other options, but there seems to be enough free to go around to not cause any issues surely?
Cheers for any help
Hi - i got same thing with slimbean.. i dont think it caused an issue as i would only get on boot, i'm back on cm 10.1 for the moment though

I wasnt sure if it was just a boot thing or not because i dont get constant notifications, but the phone does seem sluggish.... Then again i've just switched from my nexus 4 back to my i9000. My expectations might be a little skewed!
And I've used datafix in the past, I've not tried it yet, but i fail to see how it would help if i've got space?
It's something about the funny partitions the AOSP roms are using. They set a whole load of partitions and define which stuff should go to which partition, so it's a huge pain the *** to try and figure out which of them is full. Using the datafix "relaxes" the partitions, thus giving your phone more room to fit stuff in. This is not an accurate explanation of what's actually going on, but it's close enough.
