When I perform a soft reset I have about 48% Ram available.
After using a few programs and then close them only about 43 - 45% left.
The Ram drains away like this and after a few days I have less then 30% left, even I clear the memory in the setup page.
Unless I perform a soft reset I will not be able to get more than 45% again.
I am new to WM5. Any comment from you experts?
me too! now i have to restart it everyday once.
It is very normal, Mine 64mb ram usually left ony 16 to 25mb. Need to stop running program once a while to clear the ram.

I have close all of them within memory management, but ram do not come back.

same problem for me; also after closing of programs RAM disappears; have to reset 1-2 times per day ...
Hi,
I've noticed that over the course of a day, the memory consumption of the HD increases substantially... going up from about 30% to over 60% if I use it heavily. I imagine it has something to do with the different caches and the tweaks I've run (found on the forums) to increase performance. Is there a way to flush all caches so that I don't have to reset the device?
Thanks!
I'd like to know if anyone else is having this problem too.
After a fresh reboot my memory usage is about 30%. By the time Gyrator and TouchFlo restart it gets to about 40% where it stays.
However once I start using programs it will easily skyrocket to about 70%. Even if I close all the programs using taskmanager I will never recover more than about 2-3% of memory.
i use memmaid to free memory from time to time, but i we also backup a request for something that automaticly do that
shadow option for sktools made my hd to stuck so i rennounced to it
any ideeas?
now i don't know if this can affect battery performance but with computers the most efficient system is NOT the one with a lot of free ram, is the one that USES it totally... virtually having always ram at 99% would mean maximum performance... In other words: why do you want to flush the ram
This can not affect battery performance at all.
And it's totally normal to use ALL ram.
I guess you people grew up with normal Windows, that frees ram...
For example Linux has always used 99% RAM on your pc. It just uses all the free RAM as cache! So when there is more needed, it deletes some cache and allocates that RAM.
It is bad, very bad to waste memory by not using 100%. Using all memory for cache and only giving memory when it is needed is good for performance.
If you look at Vista, it does the same thing...
So it is normal behaviour, especially when you set all the caches high.
I use the SKTools application "FreeUP RAM" which does a sweep of RAM and normally saves about 5-10 mb.
BUT, I find I rarely need it as I don't seem to have any memory leak except with TomTom running.
i am not sure i can follow you
if i understand well, linux keem memory ocupied in order to fully use the whole capacity
but is not the case of windows, and sure is not the case of windows mobile
in my device, diferent processes and application take a slice of memory and does not release it even when you close them
so you end with a memory occupied 60, 70 even 80% despite the fact that you have nothing obviously running
because of that (not having enough free RAM), when you launch a new application, the HD became very slow or even stuck
correct me if i am wrong, but this is what i have noticed during the years of use of windows or windows mobile.
i am not computer literated so i might be wrong, though!
I also raise this problem here before, most expert's advise is that WM will manage memory itself, it is not necessary for us to do anything!!
I had tried to use memmaid, but it only free up 1-2M memory.
Back to the time when I use D810, if there are few MB left, I can't launch new application. Even when I close some and make free RAM left to 16+ MB, that program will still report out of memory........the only thing I can do is to soft reset.....
HD's RAM capacity is much better, but as time goes......maybe this problem will also happen!?!?
Sorry but not convinced. I agree that when in use 70-80% memory usage is not a problem. But when there are no programs running, then there is no reason to use ram.
Also on my previous wm6.1 device when you closed items in task manager it would restore ram. Sure not all of it but a good chunk of it. Heck, even on my previous HD using the task manager would free more ram.
The only thing that I can see that is different between my previous HD and this one is Tweak HD and the TouchFLO Calender. So I will try removing those first and see what happens,
Eventually, after flashing Laurentius's ROM, the problem went away almost completely. Have to say my memory usage is pretty stable now, at around 40-45% even after a day of full application and web use.
dunno personally i'd love to have a superfetch feature like in vista which keeps ram full
Higher memory usage causes minimal/neglectable effect on power consumption, RAM is powered as a whole, fractional/partial modes (where only used memory cells are powered) are not available on modern RAM chips. The CPU or DMA controller may use more power swapping memory data in and out as memory usage grows, however the increase is nothing in comparison with what the LCD backlight or loudspeaker would use.
I don't know what memory allocation method is used in Windows CE/Mobile, but regardless, being unable to start a new application while there are no other applications running in the background means that physical memory is depleted and this is not normal. OS may use RAM for caching/buffering to optimize performance, however memory allocated for optimizations should probably be released when it's required for other purposes. If this is not happening, than either OS lost track of allocated/unallocated memory or memory allocation approach is very inefficient and causes high fragmentation.
Here's a list of tools (for WinCE) that may also work on WinMo and help curious xda-devs figure out what's eating their memory...

i encountered an issue on my HD. every time i soft reset my HD, the memory usage will go up to about 30+%.
after awhile or a day, it will go up to 40+%, even i use the memmaid to reclaim the RAM and close all the running program, but it will still remain 40%.
after few days without soft reset my HD, it will go up to 50%. but i already close all the running program and use memmaid to reclaim the RAM.
where the RAM usage go? no application running but still eat up to 50% RAM, it is nonsense. anybody encountered this problem as well?

there is already a discussion abou thist somwhere in the forum, jus the search function, will post link shortly.
Hey
I've noticed my RAM usage always stay 1.5gb+ out of 2 gb
But when I restart it becomes 0.9 gb
Any way to not restart and also maintain the RAM usage at minimal levels?
No rooting techniques please
Only 4-5 apps installed..then also this much ram is being used :\
Pressing Clear up memory doesn't have much effect.
Please suggest ways.
Also, any good battery manager you know of?
Hi guys, what can I do when after start of system 2/3GB of ram are used? Anybody can help?
Using Phronesis N7 v7.0. Also try to reinstall the system, debloat it but still the same usage. Is it normal?
How can I decrease the usage?
Thanx for help
It's normal for the phone to use that much RAM, I would recommend that you do not clean it that often or it will slow down the device when opening apps. You should get it out of your mindset that more RAM means more fluidity, the device is fine.
