memory leaks, help me identify which app is eating my ram - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Alow,
I am having some serious memory leaks on my pocket pc. When i soft reset i have 19MB free program memory and after using my pda for a day or so it will drop to like 10. only a soft reset will recover my ram.
I remeber a totay screen aplication that displayed a graph of the memory usage, anyone knows its name? that one might help me identify my memory leak problems.
I have loaded and using
wisbar advance
Pocket Informant
tdlaunch
PocketBreeze
PhoneAlarm
SPBGprs monitor
Photo Contacts
latest versions of all of them .

I have read about this memory leak before...
as I remember.. the problem was whit on of these programs:
-PocketBreeze
-wisbar advance
-SPBGprs monitor (maybe.. I don't really remember )
anyway... generally.. any today plug-in would drain memory.. especially like the mentioned programs....
I hope somebody else could give you more accurate answer :idea:
cheers

I had probs with SPB GPRS before but it has been upgraded since. Not sure as I don't use it now . I'm afraid if no one knows for sure its the old fashion method of one install at a time until the offending software is found. :

For CPU+Memory graph, I use Rhinostats by Rhinocode:

Re: memory leaks, help me identify which app is eating my ra
Quite nice, but I dont see a way to see individual apps CPU/Mem usage. It displays only TOTAL CPU/Mem usage. So, I dont think it will help in this problem.

Do you experience lag on your universal?

Do you experience lag on your universal?
When you have install SPB pocket plus, and recall from stanby?
will need around 5-10 seconds to repond?
Any solution for this?
Try removing the icons that display information about free RAM / storage card space from the today screen and see if it speeds up.
Have encountered the same problem with my Dopod 900. After some discussion and comparison with other Dopod 900 users here in Singapore, found that everyone has the same issue as well...
Not sure if it is due to the ROM?
One of the reason is due to Spb pocket plus. Don't use it. My don't have any lag problem after i junked the Spb pocket plus. In fact you don't need any task closing program to force close the program, WM5.0 can handle multiple programs in memory fine. Just do a close all at the end of the day and you should be fine.
Bin the msn plug in slows mine. I removed mine.
The problem is with the "storage card" meter....
just remove the storage card meter, and everything would be fine!
the lag is because, WM5 takes a few seconds to initialize the storage card, and spb plus locks up looking for one in this period....
Hope this helps,
San
Well, I found that killing the "srvtrust" process as soon as my JasJar starts up seems to speed things up quite a lot...

PocketPlus did this to my Exec too, so I uninstalled it.
There's no point having PP on the Today screen if you can't show the meters. There are enough buttons on the Universal to map to your favourite programs that you can survive without a launcher until SPB release a properly-compatible version of PocketPlus, IMHO.
This is not a Pocket Plus exclusive fault, *almost any* today plugin that display battery and/or storage infos cause this lag. For instance, Resco Today Plugin exploits the same issue.
The only plugin that seems to not slow down the wake-up process is SBSH iLauncher.
Cheers.

On the other hand, Pocket Weather and especially PocketBreeze (again by SBSH) seem to slow it up a lot as well. But they are really useful for me so .....trade off!

How do you take this bar off?
NOW IS GOOD
Hi,
I uninstalled SPB and finally my JASJAR is working fine. Thanks to this forum I'm really understanding many things. Differently I should have sold my JASJAR.
CIAO
STefano
Just go the the setting of the SPB pocket plus and unselect that item hten that will do

server.exe

can someone help me and tell me what is this application all about, it is being called numerous times causing me pda to be slow. 2 event types; for wakeup and also sync-end. All these are happening even when i am not connected to my pc on USB. I would like to stop these. Thanks
p/s: i am currently using check notifications to clear all the repeatition
It's used to load services on your phone.
It's necessary, as is gwes.exe and device.exe

are you saying that i will have to live with it?. Thanks :lol:

Yep. But you can use a program called MemMaid (Or edit the registry) to remove non essential services. But I don't advise it until you really know what you're doing and backup often!

Yep, that's pretty normal. Does not sound like you have installed very much to Main memory only the ROM installed stuff.
Device should be working fine with that amount of free space.

thnxxx for ur reply.... i guess i have to be happy with the amount of free memory i have right now.... jus one more thing i wanted to know is whether unlockin the extended rom will help me in anyway..... will it have any advantage???

By itself unlocking the Ext ROM will be of little benefit unless you just want to have a look to see what's there.
Whether you can get any advantage from unlocking depends I think on what your level of knowledge is about ROM and the various tweaks that can be done. I would suggest, in order to answer this question for yourself, that you have a good read of the Wiki and decide if some of the things there, are things you could try based on your level of knowledge.

Booting very slowly. Any advice...?

I have the Black 2.0 an Radio 1.40 and Oli 1.40, and I installed "MenMaid" and the SPV M3100 boots very slowly 8-10 minutes, and then it works the same, 2 days ago I had the same problem with MENMAID, and uninstalled and made several soft reset and extract the battery at the end it works well like allways, but now I made the same but it very slowly.
Please Could you tell me any advise?
Thanks.
what does this program do? have you tried it on any other ROMS?
I presume you mean Memmaid? I don't use it but it cleans out memory, notifications etc etc. I'm just wondering if it has a setting to auto clear memory or do some sort of clean up on bootup. If it does, perhaps you need to uncheck that setting?? (Only guessing!)

Sorry the program name is Memmaid, like say Mikechannon. Is allow to clear the memory, registry etc. is like Sktools but I thing less powerful.
I didn´t try with other roms, because I have few time, and I haven´t got any time to recharge and configure all software, althougt at the end I will have to do.

Yes, you at right, is Memmaid. Is posible that has this funcion (cleun up on bootup), but I uninstalled, This haven´t got to happen. No?
-What can I do?
-Can I boot in Secure boot, will do anything? I try it, but say that push the action key (Which is the action key?).
-What will be the best way to change the Rom?
Very tranks for your attention.
Strange I'ved used Memmaid with most WM6 roms without problems.
You've uninstalled and the issue persists? And you are sure it's Memmaid and not anything else? What version of Memmaid are you using?
I guess you could reinstall the newest version (or another suitable program) and check the bootup apps/services and remove some them to see if that helps. While running what services/prog are running??
If not then a HR and see if the issue is really related to Memmaid.

Thanks BorisTheSpider, the version is 1.61., And now it is lower, the last action was to made a Backup with SKTools, but when boot, at the end appear the main windows, but no respons (or very slow).
Now I disconnect the battery, and I am going to remove apps/services
in bootup, but I don´t know each programs made. If I can I will show the apps/services in bootup for help somebody.
Thanks.

Hmm...the problem might be your version, it's quite old. I am running V1.72, PM me if you need the app. I think you should HR to see if the OS is the issue or the apps are the issue.

Thanks for your answering BorisTheSpider. At the end, I made a HR, but I belive to know which is the problem.
I can see that I have 1500 Mbytes used in my SD_Card, but really only had 1100 Mbytes in files. I formatted the SD_Card, but the S.O. say that is used 975 Mbytes and others 900 Mbytes free, I couldn´t format the SD, At the end I could formats the SD with one utility "Format Memorys".
I thought that my real problems could be the SD. I read in this forum that is very common this problem, if used the on/off button to switch off the device and if in bootup is the sddaemon.lnk.
Thanks for your interesting.
I am going to send you a PM.
slow
hey same problem here im using prophet WM5 but the boot time is too long. guess it's because of the slow processor. but it's obviously slower than i first use it. now that i've installed so many things...
but 1 thing is whenever i open the windows folder, it takes like 10 mins to open the folder. is there any rubbish inside any1 removed safely and helps?
any1 has this file called 'cemail' on mydevice ? it's 1.87mb and i dont know what is it's function and it's always there.... too space consuming
Yes, opening the Windows folder is slow - this is due to all the files which are to be displayed.

RAM is always at 76% usage

Hi all,
My ram is always sitting around 76% usage. Is this normal? After I use the cleanram, it will clean it to about 73% usage. And for example, when i open Opera mobile 10, it will be at around 89% usage. I have a tilt 2 by the way.
thanks in advance!!

which rom are you using?
My Tilt2 used to run +75%. From what I read, some programs take up memory even after being closed out. I did some more searching and installed the Dynamic Resource Proxy and No Push Internet cabs from here. Now I run in the 50-60% range.
I am using the stock tilt 2 rom from AT&T. What does the dynamic resource proxy do?
Thanks!
Hi jcterry, nvm, i just read the forum you linked. Thanks alot for the help! If anyone have any other ideas to get the ram down or if my nam usage at76% is about normal let me know so i dont worry hehe
thanks all
From the "research" that I have done, the high RAM is normal. If you disable the TF3D, obviously it will drop even more (to around 37%). You can also soft reset periodically. When I do that, I start off with 49% but eventually it will go up. I haven't noticed any perfomance issues, so I haven't worried about it.

That depends a lot on the ROM you are using, normally a stock ROM comes with a lot of garbage on it and makes it more heavy RAM usage.
I would recommend to flash to a cooked ROM, but if you prefer to stay with stock, try to eliminate all the stuff you don´t use.
And don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!!

You should install CleanRAM if you haven't already.
This is one of a number of threads along a similar line I've read on this forum and that I don't understand.
What I don't understand is why having xx% used RAM is a problem. I mean if you have error messages that say there's not enough free RAM then fair enough but why would it matter otherwise ?
For some unkown reason there's a limit on the number of processes that are allowed to run (by the power of M$) so having some RAM cleaning software running constantly will only limit what else you can run.
If it"s not broken ........

Things can and frequently do run slower/sluggish/laggy when memory is heavily full even before there's an error message.
This is true, but with 25% free I'm not sure that that's the case here.
And having another process running in the background will defo slow things down, esp when it's active. And seeing as there's a limit on the number of processes you're "allowed" to run I don't think having a RAM cleaner contantly running is a good plan.

... my case ... apparently WM 6.5 (the new ROM, stock in my case) is much more of a memory hog than 6.1. I have had to become used to the phone freezing during and especially immediately after calls are finished.
One possible explanation could be that I have Auto Call Record installed and running... need to check how it affects RAM
MJ
Of course 6.5 is much more RAM hungry than 6.1
But making the proper tweaks is all about!
have a look on WVGA Tweak (if not installed on your ROM search it) it´s very good tool, as mentioned before
I had the same problem with memory usage. I found the best one to be "Perfect Black" for a cooked ROM. Take a look at some of my other posts. I did some testing with various versions and posted the results for the Rhodium and Raphael.
I get the same thing, too. I found this suggestion by Mighty Mike on ppcgeeks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=85716
I tried the registry edit (changing sharememsize), and it seems to have worked. Aside from that, you can also disable TF3D, since it seems to eat up about 20MB.
