WM5 AKU 3.3 ROM memory leak issue

I love that ROM but unfortuntely the memory leak is severe for me - just want to know how many people are experiencing that issue??
How much free RAM do u have after a soft reset and how much after running for 1 day?
I have around 17MB after reset (with not much more than the built in apps - just GPRS Monitor and SIMName running additionally) but that drops to less than 10MB within a day or even a few hours of usage!!

17MB free after soft reset; down to about 12MB after a day.
No good for me, with Voice Command and emoze taking over 3MB. My minimum target is 15MB free and stable with both of those loaded, so for the moment I've switched back to a previous Molski ROM.

just made a test: if I leave my Wizard powered on (prevent standby) the RAM drops around 3MB per hour without even touching the device...
[EDIT] have to correct it - running for 1h now and it went down from 17 to 12MB - so 5MB per h... [/EDIT]

new finding: if I take out my miniSD card I get another 4-5MB!! now I have 22 after soft reset - will see whether it still drops so fast...
I remember to have read something about storage cards taking up RAM but forgot what - does it depend on the card/the formatting options etc.??
However, it still doesn't solve the leaking problem... :-(

I believe so... we should be waiting for an expert s advice before deleting any reg keys or reformat our SD cards...

Odd, I have no mem issues at all
with everything in the rom, plus voice command 1.6 and remote display, I have 15 meg free. And it stays that way. Have not reset my phone in two days. Cingular 8125 G4 device. And yes, I have an SD card as well.

i would say that its stable with me too, dont have that much running, i dont know some of them like elatepushservice, sapsettings, but with 19 processes in task manager, stay around 14 mbs mostly, it seems to drop low sometime with browsing texting but goes back to 14 or more... i might be wrong here but could it be the installation procedure, i followed dr p method, then added molskis 3.0 then the 3.3... i am still figuring out stuff, mostly a reader than a poster...

I woke up this morning w/ only 2MB!
I have a G3 8125 and here's my install:
3.3 v1 installed on top of the Cingular 2.25.11 IPL/SPL
Upgraded TodayAgenda to v0.9.22 using the install, uninstall, re-install method
Upgraded to BatteryStatusExt.1.04.beta2
Installed DaylightSavings.cab
Usage:
Yesterday, my friend accidentally ran the UK_Jersey_Telecom auto-config
I was trying to set up MMS for Fido (still doesn't work but I no longer receive error messages either)
Voice Dialing
Other Symptoms:
I've also noticed that my date keeps on going haywire. keeps on going 18h 20mins ahead.
I have verified that no other programs are running in the background but on occasion when I check, I see ActiveSync (I use ActiveSync 4.2).
Might try V2 on Tmobile 2.26 when I get the time and see how goes.

Remove TodayAgenda.
On my Wizard, using the 3.3 ROM, TodayAgenda (both version 0.9.20 and 0.9.22) loose appx. 1.5MB RAM per hour.
Without TodayAgenda I see no memory loss at all.

Just upgraded to V2 (6MB ver) and memory availability seems a lot better. Running for two days and only lost 5MB (which is much better than losing 15MB in 12hrs). The combination of embedded TodayAgenda upgraded to 9.22 may have been the culprit. I currently have V2 with 9.22 installed and it seems quite stable.
The current memory loss seems to be caused by certain programs/functions not releasing memory when closed/disabled. I still notice ActiveSync running in the background out of the blue. I was just playing with wifi and noted a 1.5mb drop in memory when enabling but it does not return after disabling. I will update this post as I see more possible causes.

For those who installed SPB PocketPlus: for me most probably SPB PocketPlus caused a leak - I just found out with the WM6 ROM, so might be the same with AKU3.3! I also had a leak with WM6 before (although not as serious as on AKU3.3) and now with the same config as before except PocketPlus I don't experience it anymore!!
Regarding the large mount of RAM taken by the storage card (I know it's not a leak, but anyways): this did the trick on WM6 (before took 4MB, now 0.2MB), so might be the same on AKU3.3:
change the FATFS cache size back to 0 (most tweaks change that, but anyway I didn't realize a slow down of the device after changing it back to that factory default):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\FATFS]
"CacheSize"=dword:00000000

I noticed a huge memory leak in TodayAgenda running:
a) 3.3 beta ROM with embedded 0.9.20
b) 3.3 beta ROM with upgrade to 0.9.22
c) WM6 beta (both the clean version and pdaviet) with 0.9.22
So if you're not seeing a memory leak, my guess is that the memory leak is depending on a specific configuration option inside TodayAgenda.

I think I have a reverse memory leak....lol mine went from @ start 3.34 to 20.57 MB after 1-2 hrs....
Seriously though, just wanted to chime in and say I don't have any issues....before this ROM I was running Crossbow for a little bit and before that I was using a custom home brew...

Oops... skipped a thought there.. I meant to say V2 with 9.22 installed. There's still some leak but I wouldn't blame it completely on TodayAgenda yet. The leak is lower now and less significant with extra ram being available in V2. I find certain programs/functions not releasing RAM when closed/disabled to be a bigger issue (ie. enabling then disabling Wifi, voice dialing etc)
@lvlolvlo: That sounds about right. Even though it appears as if the phone is done loading, there are still some processes running in the background. Wait a few minutes for the processes to release the ram and you'll see a big jump.

how about download the memoryleak cab and install it

Where can I find this cab? Is it designed for TodayAgenda? I tried doing a search and skimmed through some threads from the last couple of months and didn't see anything. From what I have read, most people are pointing at ActiveSync (I am running 4.5 Beta at home) or TodayAgenda.
On avg, I need to reset my phone every 5 days or so. While this is not a huge issue, I'm curious as to what may be causing it.

What you guys can also try doing is getting SK Tools and using the free up ram feature on there. i have that on my phone even thou i hover around 20 mbs with wisbar, ilauncher, and pocket breeze on there and also rltoday. It'll get me back like 3 mbs when i do that. but i think it would really help you guys.

wing memory issues

I had a mda, it broke, I had insurance.. when I called to get a new mda they sakd they were OPP and they sent me a wing. I though I was making out good. when I got it it was much slimmer and sleeker than the mda. then I turned it on, installed my five apps, stored on the 2mb storage card.. I had to lowered my pagepool to 6mb just to get 21mb of program memory after a hard reset.. that means there roughly 35-38% mem free; my mda had way more programs and constantly had 50+% free program mem at all times.. are any of the apps ever gonna suppor wm6? when will an official, or even custom come out that fixes this low memory problem? any suggestions would be appreciatd.
thanks.

Memory leak fixed?

Hello everyone!
I've brought my Wings back to the store, trying to get my money back to buy an N95(I want internal GPS!), my excuse was the memory leak, which rendered my phone useless.
Anyway, I've got it back today, the guy in the store said that all the internals had been replaced. I noticed the free memory I have is 176xx kB, which is more than I had before, if I'm correct? I haven't installed anything except route 66. I've tried to get the memory leak, I've started IE, mediaplayer and route 66 and closed it, I managed to get to 15xxx kB, but not lower.
How can I trigger the memory leak?

MB, not KB not kB.
How much RAM do you want free? Is it causing an issue, or are you simply dissatisfied with the amount of free RAM you have?

He's trying to use the memory leak as an excuse to exchange his phone through the store, however the store did something to it which seem's (in his case) to have solved his memory issues and now cannot recreate the problems to warrant the exchange.

15xxx is kB. the x stands for another number, which I didn't remember exactly.
k stands for kilo, kiloByte, so that's correct.

That's about right, but this might mean that there IS a solution, so you guys could ask for a repair, and use your phone at its full potential!
If I could trigger the memory leak, that would be "good" for me, but if I can't, that means that it's fixed, so that would be very good for you guys, so if you know how to trigger it(preferably a step by step guide, like which programs you use, and if you browse, which site etc)

I often get memory leak by picking 2M photo, then go to album and zoom it to Actual size. It only works right after soft reset.

I guess it's not fixed then. Now I've only got 89xx kB of free memory left with all the applications closed. If I run media player and go to camera, media player closes on its own.
Damn, if this phone hadn't had this issue, and the gps was not removed, I would love it!

Is the memory leak fixed in the 6.1 ROM posted here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617

In my experience, all mobile phones, PDA-phones smartphones suffer memory leak to varying degrees. The more powerful, the more leaks. It is an OS problem and both Symbian and WM suffer it. That is why they all require you to reboot them from time to time. I have used many Nokias and seen the problem.

problem RAM please answer me?

all diamonds have 192 mo but me i have only 128 mo why this problem ?
i fashed it with the last official rom but it stays 128 mo
what i can do please ?

i believe the rest is used by the "gpu"

Hi,
If I'm not wrong, it is related to the HardSPL installed. Which version do you have?

gpu has 64mb dedicated in itself, so it cant be that. mines got 192 well 191.98 lol

192MB!
Rudegar is correct in that the GPU has 64MB of the 192MB allocated for it's sole use, thus leaving 128MB for the rest of the system. It should still show 192MB in the system settings though.
TACalon is also correct... some people have had issues with the system feeding back incorrect information about installed RAM.
Either way, you have got 192MB!!

New Verizon Diamond - Questions

Hi All,
I just received a Verizon Diamond and can't wait to get everything running smooth. I think i have some tweaking to do first though. I'm at the moment trying to get a grasp on the memory. I'm coming from a Touch Vogue. I was surprised when looking at my free storage and program memory that the Diamond was much lower then the Vogue.
Under Settings\System\DeviceInfo\Hardware
Touch Vogue
RAM size 128MB
Flash size 256MB
Touch Diamond
RAM size 192MB
Flash size 256MB
However when I look at the free program and storage memory I see.
Touch Vogue
Storage
Total-144.74MB
Program
Total-92.84
Diamond
Storage
Total-100.55MB
Program
Total-113.64MB
Is this normal? Where is all the additional memory going from the Diamond? When comparing it to the Sprint Diamond it seemed that the Ram and Flash sizes were the same however the Storage and Program totals were much higher.

No one?
How do other network Diamonds compare?

yea verizon took out alot of mem in there diamond,and the verizon diamond is like the only lame phone that no one has made an unlocker for so you can flash a new rom.i got mine as a replacment for a vogue,i hate it. i miss my vogue,it was one of the best phones i ever had.it was the perfect size and shape.customised the crap out of it.if they came out with a vogue 2 with more mem, and a vga screen i would buy one today and throw this diamond in the trash.
