I just installed Oc6/igo on my mogul, but it keeps freezing on me when i go into settings, and it also says that its using too much memory, is there a way to have my mogul running lower then 60% memory when doing nothing, its crazy but thats wat it runs when im just looking at my today screen and no programs running. I hope you can understand wat im asking, let me know, anybody

ok heres the deal. Lately the memory on my wing has been draining DRASTICALLY!! I always had the memory issue but now as soon as the phone starts up i woudl have like 16mb free ( changed the pagepool to 6mb.) then it would go down to 3.5 in like 10 seconds. Anyone know why it would be doing this. Is there a solution. I am still using the factory tmobile rom.
Right after soft-reset, the memory should get down for a while and then come back to normal. I can see Active Sync running at that time and I used to close it.. Does the same happen there?
yah activesync is running also but even after i close it and the phone sits for the whole day it will still be at 3.4/5 when activesync is running it drops to 2.8
With my phone at the Today screen, and no apps launched my WM 6.1 is running at 60-65%....
Is there any way to reduce it other than getting a new ROM? I'm VERY leary about upgrading the ROM, basically because I'm a serious newb with all this flashing and SPL stuff....
Thanks!
*coughs* *shuffles feet*
Bump....
Cheers, all.
The percentages you're talking about are mem usage - not CPU usage
65% isn't that problematic.
Thank for the info!!
it got as high as 84% yesterday, and overnight sucked my battery life with nothing running...is there anything I can do to keep this low?
Thanks!
Are you sure you don't have anything running? When i close all running programs on my NIKI and return to homescreen, i have about 55%, with Win. mobile 6.1.
What have you tried..? Tried a soft or even better, a hard reset of your device?
That's a fair question, because I actually have to soft reset every once in a while after using various apps on my phone. I make sure that there's nothing running in the task manager as well.
Right now it's at about 70%....and that is after a soft reset.
Now, it's not modded (I have a Neon [Bell Canada HTC Touch Dual], so there's no ROM for it yet). Once there's a finished ROM for it, with all of the "muck" out of it, it's probably going to be a little better.
But I question if there's anybody out here who gets the original amount of memory back after closing some apps..?
When I start a lot of apps and close them again, the used mem percentage is always higher than before (I think WM doesn't unload some libraries 'til your memory gets full, because it doesn't hurt to keep them loaded and saves processor cycles)
I've found that as well. If I use enough apps, I have to turn my phone off and back on - eventually It gets over 80% (sometimes It's gone up to 90% with no apps running!)
I have the same problem. The memory kept going up in WM6.1. Any solution to this?
Hey is it normal for the mytouch to go back to the home screen kinda slow? Like, if im in the music app with music playing and then jump to the brower wile the music playing and then if I decide to hit the Home Key. The home screen takes like 2 to 4 seconds to appear.
I also notice that my IM client cant keep me signed in. Is this a android OS problem? or what?
The rom Im on is CyaMod 4.2.8.1 Which is supose to be fast and all and it is but comin from a iphone where the home screen loaded instantly is what Im kinda use to. Even on WinMobile phones the home screen loads rather instantly.
Any advice?
Thanks?
you can can choose to keep the im signed in or not so that is your fault and not android
you need to overclock the phone to keep it nice and smooth and try clearing the cache every now and then
my own mytouch 3g is fast and better than the iphone

Actually my IM is set to keep me signed in but it doesnt. Im pretty sure the problem im having is more complicated then putting a check mark in the keep me signed in box. LOL
But anyway, maybe clearing the cache will do the trick which is something I dont do too often.
I do run advance task manager and I frequently close programs I dont use. I allways have at least 25mb of mem left but backing back to the home screen is allways 4 to 5 seconds delay. I even tried removing all my icons from the other screen and only have total 5 icons on the 1st screen.
Any other advice would be appreciated thanks guys.
mine is not rooted and the battery life sucks, overclocking will help but it'll run the battery harder. The bottom line is tmobile doesn't want to make a phone with very much ram because then u might be too satisfied with your device and not want a new one every few months.
Wow so is this a hardware/mytouch3g issue?
I tried different roms from stock to herosense to now the latest dohnut but everynow and then the home screen lags to appear especially when im multi tasking on it like music/webrowse/google maps all at the same time WITH weatherbug/twidroid in the background.
The phone just starts to run a lil slower especially when I need to back out to the home screen. As for the IM problem. I think the IM looses connection or is closed automattically from the background when other software require more memory.
I had a G1 on cupcake for a limited time before and I dont remember it having this problem. I dont know. but if theres any suggestions to kinda get rid of this problem please let me know.
EDIT
As for overclocking I allways thought the newer cyanmods roms had overclocking at default. Even with overclock it seems the problem is with memory.
i have the same issue on both g1 and the magic as well...def not as smooth as the iphone....sometimes too many widgets will cause slow downs on the screen loading i have noticed....just part of multitasking, making it a tad slow...and yeah..the cyanogen is oc'ed by default
So...I am running Fresh 1.1, and I flashed Madaco's new kernel...then I enabled compcache.
Ever since flashing the new kernel, my Taskiller widget (which now shows how many MB's of memory you have available) will start at about 94mb when I power on my phone. Throughout the day, as I use taskiller to close programs, the memory doesn't go back to 94mb, but slowly goes down. First it'll go to 90mb...than 88...than 82....than 66...and all the way down to 54. It decreases each time I use the taskiller saying that my maximum freed up memory is only at 54mb, when in the morning it started at 94mb.
Can anyone help me with this? or help me figure out why it might be doing this? Sorry if the description of what's happening is kind of confusing, but I don't know how to explain it any clearer.
Thanks for any help given!
You really shouldn't be using TasKiller. Find out why here: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Uninstall TasKiller and you should be fine.
I use it cause the apps build up and kill my battery.
I stopped using any task managers for 2 weeks and my phone never really got any faster it actually was much worse when using the keyboard so I tried using them again and it's not as laggy anymore I don't really know how true that is I believe Fresh but it didn't help me
I've read about not using taskiller elsewhere, but I swear it makes a difference. Whenever I am experiencing lag, I run it, and boom...the lag is gone. It's not just my imagination either.
But back to the question: Why the heck would the available memory be going down each time I use taskiller?
I get the same thing and I have always wondered this also I will start out with a good amount of memory and later on in the day I might be able to get half of the memory I started with freed up
wen i switch the phone off, nd start it up again, its all fast nd snappy nd everything is smooth. with time, it starts to slow down, gets buggy nd rly laggy nd not very responsive. so i usually just reboot, but its meant 2 stable rite?... y does this happen? nd how to sort it out....?
running stock 2.2, not rooted
maybe an application you installed that slows your phone down?
oh so this doesnt happen 2 any1??? i dnt know wat it is. i was hopin sum1 can help
The apps u start once, they mostly stay in memory, making the phone slow and laggy. Use a task-killer, it will restore the memory and hence the speed.

since he is running 2.2 i would say dont use task killers because you dont need it in 2.2, try closing your applications with the Back key and avoid using the Home key, closing with the Home key will just minimize the application and wont close it, hope this helps
You don't need a task killer in any version of Android. I reckon you have a run-away app that is hogging CPU cycles. And the amount of remaining memory has no bearing whatsoever on the speed of the phone.
im using htc sense btw. i think it mite an app, cos yesterday it didnt happen, nd ive removed couple of stuff. anyway 2 get a the new htc sense?? the 1 that desire hd has?

Some apps install services which run all the time. If you go to Applications under Settings you can see running services.
I had the same issue with 2.2, phone would be nice and speedy and then after a random amount of time it would lag badly. The CPU would show 100% load but with no process associated to it.
The answer was to enable USB Debugging (god knows why but I found the solution here), since doing that my phone is super slick and I haven't had to reboot it in over 2 weeks and counting. As mentioned there is no need for killing apps with task managers in 2.2, makes the phone slower if anything.
Worth a try.
