memory leaks, help me identify which app is eating my ram

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.

App to move My Documents

I have searched and search to find a simple app that will move the My Documents folder to the SD and still allow it to sync with Active Sync. I have tried almost every config program out there and NONE have this function. Why is it soo hard to do? why is there not just a cab that changes all the stuff for you and moves it to the SD Card?
Please let me know if there is an app but I have searched everywhere for one with no luck. I keep a bunch of stuff in the My doc folder and it is killing me on the storage space.
Thanks,
SoBBie

Did you try these yet?
Schaps Adv Config 2.1
Memmaid (kinda big)
Chris

Well I actually have MemMaid installed right now... I do not see a way to move the My Documents to the SD and still have it sync with ActiveSync. I have moved many things over with it. I have not tried to use Schaps Adv Config 2.1 but Will give it a try as soon as I can.
Thanks for your help. Not sure if it is working yet but will let you know as soon as I try.

Can internal microdrive be disabled/turned off?

Hello,
since I've been looking for measures to save up power I wonder, if the internal microdrive can be disabled or turned off via a registry setting or something. I prefer to use a mini sd-card, so the drive won't be used much.
Does anyone have any info on that? I haven't found anything on the forum so far.
Thanks in advance
Will

As far as I know it powers down when not in use.

Hmm, I can't find any entry in the registry, maybe it's really automatic...very well. Thanks, techntrek!

Sorry mate - you can't. It's designed that way on purpose. All you can do is copy the files from the device to the storage card, delete and re-create the shortcut (so it points at the app on the storage card, not the device), and then hope that there's no hard-coded folders in the application or stored in the registry somewhere, otherwise the app simply won't work.

device to card
hi mate thanks for that im sorry im pretty useless at this kind of thing how do a copy the files from my device to the card is there a how-too anywhere on here?? cheers

I don't know of any "how to" on here, but it's easy enough to do.
Open File Explorer and find the folder of the installed application. It's VERY likely to be in \Program Files and will most likely be under \company name\application name, or just \application name. Click and hold on the folder in question till you get the menu and select Cut.
Then, browse to the storage card and, if there's not already one there, create a folder called "Program Files" (Menu, New Folder). Go into that folder and go "Menu, Edit, Paste". That copies the folder from the device memory onto the storage card, and also removes it from the device memory.
Then, go into the application folder and find the application itself (you should recognise it from its name & icon). Click and hold on that and select Copy (not cut). Then, browse to the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and go "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
Okay. You've now got the original shortcut and a new one. The original one is useless because it points to the where the application was installed, so you need to find and delete that one. Then, the new one is called "Shortcut to....". Simply rename it to something more sensible (the name of the app ) and you're done.
It seems a lot when you type it out like this, but once you've done it a couple of times it's a doddle.
Let us know if you get stuck mate.

Someone answered a similar question for me and mentioned an app called SKTools that moves apps from phone to sd card for you. Any use? I think it is paid software though

I've never used it mate. I'm far too stubborn to try a piece of software that does something I can do manually

thanks lads thats great gona give that a try,any advice on some other great apps ? fun or usefull ones?

Pocket Mechanic does the same..
Like SK Tools but I think it's worth the effort, as there are other tools that clean

To be honest mate, if you're just after apps and don't want them installed on the device (which is fair enough), just don't use MarketPlace. This thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=528
...is jam packed full of stuff, and it's normal installers, so you can generally install it on the storage card. Also, the obvious google will turn up most apps you can think of. I used MarketPlace and found a few things I liked, but hardly anything that wasn't available elsewhere, and usually freeware!
This forum is split into forums by device, and each of them has a general forum, an accessories forum, a ROM dev forum, and a themes and apps forum. In both the general and the themes and apps forums you'll find things that people have developed themselves. The problem with this is that you'll have someone with a Raphael, for example, that posts an app in the Raphael themes and apps forum, but it should actually be in the windows apps forum as it's not Raphael specific - it will actually work on any WM6+ device (this obviously isn't always the case - it's just an example). This means it can be a lengthy process finding things on here, but it's worth getting good at searching, as your initial searches will probably return thousands of threads with hardly anything relevant looking in the results.
Just use this forum. It's a great place.

Can anybody share CorePlayer

I've searched up and down this forum as well as Google but cannot find the app. I have a M3U file that I want to stream from my phone but I need CorePlayer to do so. Can anybody share or provide a link for a free download. Thanks.

Core player is software you have to buy. you can find it here: http://coreplayer.com/
cracked programs / warez are not permitted on this forum, fyi.

If memory serves me correctly, you can do the same thing with TCPMP. Do a search on here and you will find it. I am most certain that I have used it for streaming police scanner M3U files a couple of months ago.
CorePlayer is commercial software that you must purchase, TCPMP is free and is the source from which CorePlayer sprang.

Yup, thats what I want for as well.
I installed TCPMP_0.72_RC1 but I get an error message when I try opening it. It reads: "Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit"
I don't know what the problem is. I have read other people having the same problem and I cannot find a solution. Can anybody help with this?

Any chance you have it installed to a storage card, and that storage card had previously had tcpmp installed on it but on a different phone? If so, some of the settings (which are preserved even when uninstalling) may be causing problems. If that's the case, go into your storage card and delete the entire tcpmp folder (after uninstalling) and try to install it again...

imma try this out!

No, I didn't install it on the storage card. I installed it to the device. Am I supposed to install it on the storage card?

Sorry for the late reply.. but no, there is no need to install to storage card, other than saving space. Installing it to a card was the only way I could think of that would make "left over" settings as the culprit to your problems. Hope you got this sorted out by now. Cheers
