Any Free Task Managers out There?

Im looking for a free task manager that can display memory used, cpu use, and current processes that are running on my phone. it would be great if there are any. just need it to manage free memory and stuff.

Try this apps :
- iTaskMgr
- TaskMgrv 1.6

For keeping the memory free i use Magic Button for Pocket PC.
Does not do all the stuff you need.. but check it out:

Yes to free memory you have Oxios Memory too
See >> THERE <<

Thanks for the help! I like the iTask Manager

program memory Q

Hi,
I have about 8MB program memory left in my phone during normal use.
I have the following installed and running in normal use.. no other plugins/apps going other than the occasional bringing up of the Messaging app:
VC 1.6
SPB mobile shell
PTT fix
PocketInformant (usually closed if i can help it though)
AKU3.3 ROM update
This is taking up 40MB of program memory.
Three questions:
- Does this seem high?
- Can i find out how much memory each running app is consuming?
- Is there anything i can do to imrove the amt of free memory? Im worried about having a few more apps open and running out.

If you have done a lot of web browsing the ie cache takes up a load of space. From inside ie select options and memory and clear pages. I regularly free up 10-15mb of memory this way

Logging Mem usage Win Mobile 5??

Hi developers!
A Win Mobile 5 question...
I need to log the memory usage per application in the background (to a file), but I can't find the right tool for it. I have a installed a small app called Memory Monitor from HandHeld that logs to a file each time a delta of 10% of available program RAM is detected. This fine, BUT it doesn't tell which applications that consume memory. So what I'd like is a simple tool, no fancy stuff, that quietly logs memory usage on the device for future analysis. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
BR,
Anders

u can use DF Task Manager..it shows the Memory usage as well

About Memory Leaking

Recently I found something interesting and would like to share here see any Hi-Tech people can make a software to fix the memory leaking in WM OS.
When I first start my machine, my Ram is about 25.5mb and then will drop down to around 24 something mb. I used different software to try to recover as much as RAM including Oxios and eLiAs AutoHibernate.
Recently I start to use Vito GoodWin I found that every time when I use the dialer pad no matter I make or not make a phone call, my Ram will drop down a bit. When I open the GoodWin, I can see the "Phone" is still running. After I close the "Phone" in GoodWin and close GoodWin and back to Today destop. I found that my Ram will go up to 26.6mb. How come? Is it any chance to find out why and may someone can make a software Like Oxios but can take more Ram back.
Hope someone can do it for US. Cheers

memory leakage
hey dude this is not memory leakage actually whenever u run anything on the pocketpc or a cell phone or a computer it uses the resources of the device that is it uses the RAM memory(memory used for running the programs on a computer,pocketpc).
And as it is all the programs,codes,scripts are actually lines and machine codes which get compiled and executed and hence they use the memory of the device to run and hence the RAM memory is used.
For example if u run multiple programs at a time then it drains your RAM memory and hence the result is slow processing of your device hence there is no such way that you can avoid the RAM usage so even when u start your dialer it consumes the RAM do not worry about the RAM usage its normal.
And about the programs you mentioned they are just to shift the memory usage and yet when you start your dialer the specified and required amount of RAM will be used.
To make it more clear for u just go to the task manager of your computer (by pressing alt+ctrl+del all together) and then click on the performance tab
now minimize the task manager and just open a folder or any program and check your task manager the RAM usage might have definitely increased..
Its the same funda with your pocketpc and mobile phones..

its called...ram...basic computing...just like any computer..its shortterm memory used to run programs...the more u open the less u have...maybe u should search up basic computing terms like ram for a further explanation

Memory leaking is real and especially noticeable on windows mobile.
What happens is that memory is allocated for use by programs but then not released when the application is finished doing its job. A combination of complexity and lazy programming is often the cause.
The end result is a gradual drop in available memory, regardless of whether you have any applications still open. The only way to make that memory available is a soft-reset.
Suggest you look carefully at which applications leak the most and avoid them. It can be one or two culprits that you can live without.

My phone (Verizon SMT5800, running Windows Mobile 6 Standard) is bad about memory leaks. I have to reboot it at least once a day to recover memory, sometimes several times in one day. On one occasion, it got down to about 2 MB free and wouldn't even run the reset command. I had to reset it by taking the battery out.

^ Thats the only thing that works for me

autohibernate works really well

SKTools FreeUP RAM
SKTools FreeUP Ram works well. Use it a couple times a day. Eventually have to soft reset though, maybe every couple of days. Have to buy it of course, not free. But it prolongs the duration between soft resets.

The newest SKTools has an additional service for automatic FreeUP Ram, after every app-closing. Just try it

Is there a way to find out which application is causing the memory leak?

I don't think, that there is a real memory leak.
For example Windows Mobile has a file cache which is not filled yet after a fresh softreset. While you use your device this gets filled until the required amount of memory is being used for it.

If more and more memory is consumed each time the dialpad is used, as described, then there is a memory leak. Nothing else can explain that. You should check with your rom chief.

Thanks, works great!

I just upgraded my version of SKTools to get the latest FreeUP RAM Service feature. Very nice. Automatically frees unused RAM.
Thanks for the hint.

Thanks for the detail reply. Actually what I want to say is after I turn the phone on the ram is start dropping. I just take a sample like after you use the phone the ram would drop about a mb. Of course we know that it is not leaking. My point is after I closed the software and use some software to recover the RAM like Oxios. You can get some RAM back, but my case is when I after make a phone call and turn the dialer pad off. I wouldn't see any software running at task manager also if I use Oxios I just claim about half to one MB RAM back. When I turn GoodWin on in this point I can see the "Phone" still running at GoodWin. I stop the "Phone" at GoodWin and than turn GoodWin off, I found that I could recover 2 - 3mb RAM. That's mean for me is when GoodWin turn this software "Phone" off and could claim more RAM back than Oxios. So could we use the way GoodWin do to make a software claim more RAM back? If you don't get what I say, just try to download GoodWin from the net and try to play around than you can see what happen. Sometime it even make me have more RAM than just after softreset.

memory

how much storage memory do you guys have free? I have 19MB, is this low? I've only installed a handful of files, and then I have 134MB free in program, is this because i installed too many files to my device?

ive got 68.70 free in storage and 120 free in program.
storage is exactly that storage and program is to run programs.
think of it like your computer. your hard drive would be your storage memory and the RAM would be the program memory.

well if thats the case shouldnt it be switched? shouldn't I have more storage memory free than program? I havent installed that much and I'm running out of storage!

I'm having the same problem
After i had installed 2.03 ROM, i had 35-40 MB free on storage.
Now i have installed some things (NOT on storage) and i have installed XBmod HD V1.8 and now i have only 23 MB free.
I feel my diamond is getting slow again!
How on earth can i get back to 30-40 free MB or something...
Yes, i have cleared the opera cach/history etc!

Done a hard-reset. Will keep my phone clear now. 57MB free on storage

I only got 111.02 MB total RAM?

Try a program called "SKtools" it has free up ram utility, works great.
Also Under HTC task manager go to "button" in the sub menu and select "end programs by tapping X"

I have found a 9mb video file using file explorer, but I couldn't delete it in whatever menu I was in, because the advanced soft key was not touchable. Now I can't find it at all, is there an easy way I could locate this 9mb file that seems to be hiding in my phone?

I found it, it's a file labeled temp in windows media player, yet it says cannot play the file, and no options to delete, any ideaas?

I also recommend SKtools. Does more than just freeing Ram. Great program for cleaning and increasing performance with built in Total commander like features.
