Is MemMaid unreliable on TouchPro2 CDMA? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

One of my favorite applications for keeping my devices snappy has been MemMaid - currently ver 2.3 (build 230). My TouchPro2 is my first CDMA device. Is anyone else getting unusual results when running Reclaim RAM on their devices? Running the app I get a "Current Free Memory" and "New Free Memory" and amount "Reclaimed RAM". Running it a second time starts with the "New" and may or may not get a better "New".
On the Touch Pro2 I am getting a "Current" of say 88MB, a "Reclaimed" of 23MB, and a "New" of 112MB - very nice if I could believe it! Trouble is running it again reports the same thing instead of starting with the "Current" at 112MB.
Then if I run "cleanRAM" by HTC Addicts I get 1MB saved and a current Free memory of 89MB, all of which suggests that MemMaid may well not be running currectly on this particular device.
Has anyone else experienced issues with MemMaid?

I think the MemMaid is not stable, too. Before I installed this software, the result is my bloody phone always hang up. But the problem is disappeared after I remove it. Although it is a very good application, I got sick to use it again.

I have seen the same results... Maybe they will update it in a few years to be more compatible with newer devices.. (ZZZzzzzz, last update in June 2008)

Look at www.ppcw.net (special story about it) or at www.tekguru.co.uk (last part of his review).
Your problem of running slow is probably due to a MS Mobile 2003 bug My I-mate was running really slow.
Download this freeware (both of them), install them and run them. I had over 500 entries in the database which I cleared with the util and it went to 9 The speed of my Imate returned to normal.

Hope that helps....
Thanx drj bro! I had 830!!! Down to 11 after running app. My XDAII is running real smooth now. The second app says its only trial though....
Your welcome...glad it worked!
It will build up over time and as you soft reset. Just run the util every once and a while and all should be well.

Thanks from me too! I had my alarms fail, which made me oversleep, which could have been very embarrassing on any other night as the bands I drive rely on me getting them to the next gig on time.
I installed this freeware which seems to have (a) cleared a lot of unwanted dross & (b) sorted out my alarm problem (I think!)
I also use the very useful pocket alarm from Burr Oak Software, check it out here:-

My Australia i-Mate came with a whole bunch of Telstra customisations. I would actually like to get rid of these because they interfere with telephone functionality (e.g replaces caller ID with a telstra logo!).
However I am unable to delete the Telstra setup files using File Explorer. Anybody have any ideas how to do it?

Stop applications closing automatically?

Hi,
I've recently started using my XDA II, but I'm having a very frustrating problem which I suspect may be a 'feature' of PocketPC 2003 memory management.
When I open up applications and then switch focus away from them (e.g., by using a task switcher like Go, Smallmenu, MagicButton, etc.) they then 'close' themselves in the background.
This is annoying enough when it's just e.g., viewing a file and then have to reopen it and find your place again, but it's seriously irritating when you're in the middle of a task, swap out for a few seconds, and then try to return only to find that PocketExcel has closed, having 'saved' your file with a silly name, meaning you have to open it again. In some apps it even seems to lead to data loss (e.g., if you're half way through entering a new contact, and then do something else, you lose your half-completed entry).
I've got stacks of memory free, so if it's a memory management 'feature' it's being far, far too zealous in reclaiming what it thinks are "unused" resources.
Does anyone else have this problem -- and if so, is there a way to solve it? (please say yes!)
thanks!
Greg.
Hello gregmarsh,
this is a well-known issue with all XDA2 and alike devices (i.e. MDA2, i-Mate etc.) and early ROM's such as 1.03 etc. Check the following link for more info on this issue with a few suggestions how to (at least partialy) get rid off it:
http://ppcw.net/mobile2003.php?itemid=1645
The good news is that the number of running processes have been reduced in ROM 1.60.
PavelR.
PavelR,
Thanks for your help on this point -- I will try some of those suggestions.
I hope that O2 releases a new supported version of the ROM soon (I don't quite have the guts to flash this myself just in case all hell breaks loose...!)
cheers,
Greg.

++++ We are solving Universal's memory leak problem... ++++

Bigface title to a not sure method, but with hoping success for the object.
I think everybody is fighting with this nerve-racking memory bug in wm5+vga+universal thing.
Me too.
Very very hard.
I'm very angry with this statement.
I bought the newest, most professional PDA with the oldest, most amateur speed.
It is not new for anybody, I'm sure.
I've opened this topic to solve this *******, because I think ROMupgrade is coming very slow.
I tried hundreds of different things to keep my RAM's free memory and get my Jasjar/MDApro/Exec more speed.
I'd like to share my experience to you and I'd like you to share your experience to us, to understand why does it happen.
OK....so.....
1) My first and biggest remark in this theme:
gwes.exe (this is a system process, which is runnig continously with the system to let us using functions of our device)
It is runnig with the following modules: (on my device, it is not sure all on yours too, but I think almost)
lrgwesex.dll
touch.dll
commctrl.dll.0409.mui
commctrl.dll
aygshell.dll
keybddr.dll
ddi.dll
toolhelp.dll
gwes.exe.0409.mui
toolhelp.dll
ceddk.dll
coredll.dll.0409.mui
ossvcs.dll
ole32.dll
coredll.dll
So...this gwes.exe starts with the system after a soft reset taking about 6MB RAM memory.
If you are watching carefully, when your RAM is getting less this gwes.exe is getting bigger.
In one of my examples after a soft reset I had 24MB free memory, and when I had just something like 4MB I checked the running services.
And you know what???
gwes.exe was using by then 19.5MB from the memory!!!!!!!!!!!
So I think when you start an application, system files are using more memory with applications, but when you close the application you have just more with the memory using by this application but less with the memory using by the system with this application.
I'm not sure with this, but i'm sure there is a big problem with this gwes.exe service.
I found more processes (device.exe, filesys.exe, cprog.exe, shell32.exe, repllog.exe) which are doing something the same but not that much than gwes.exe.
So if somebody has some reflections about this write it down to us!
2) A lot of people say there is a hack in the registry / storage manager cache keys which we increase, system will operate with higher speed.
I'm not sure now.
I tried a lot with different keys, and my suggestion is totally the opposite than that: when I set different cache keys (glyphcache, storage cahes...) to zero the system eats less memory and something the same with the speed.
Interesting.
I don't have exact results in these points, but thinking about somewhere here the answers.
Please help us to find the solution together to solve this irritating bug!

I never have a memory issue with my dopod900, even after a week of usage with various games and application, the memory still remain around 22++M. Will try to check up the result and post it here.
I also want to know why........
After the reset, my machine has around 20M left and after a while, only 11M left and that's last for quite a long time. I have no experience that the memory is only around 4M....

Are you using the stock machine without all the tweaks ? I mean have you applied optimizations like cache settings, etc ?
I'm just wondering if it might have something to do with some of the changes we made to improve performance :?
The issue is partially duie to Microsoft, but also partially due to 3rd party developers. I know for a fact that a lot of developers do not bother to have their applications issue defragment or compact instructions to the operating system after closing. They take up place and resources in the memory heap but do not "give them back" after they close.
You can blame the Universal as much as you want, but in my opinion it's one hell of a machine that had the misfortune to be the first officially released WM5 machine out there. Microsoft is indeed working on speed, stability and other issues form their end (the latest O2 Exec rom is by far the fastest and most stable ROM there is), but the developers need to do their bit as well and start working on their program's behaviour.

Hmmm, you would think that Microsoft would be smart enough to put in some checks to automatically release the memory used by a an application after it closes :?
I don't blame the universal, the hardware is fine and I'm quite happy with it. I do however blame Microsoft. WM5 is just soooo slow. If I didn't do all the performance tweaks that's been discussed here, I don't think I can live with this device. You have to understand that I come from using 3 generations of Palm devices previously, and even though they are using much slower processors, they are waaay more responsive than WM5.
The last Palm I used was the Sony Clie NX70. I used it for 2 years without having to do ROM upgrades, etc. and it worked just fine. One would think that given the number of years that Microsoft had to improve WM, that they would be able to do a better job. As it is now, I'm finding all kinds of weird bugs all over.
Well, I'm just frustrated, sorry for ranting :lol:

I have been making the same point - M$ should know better and memory management is not bleeding egde tech. My Symbian devices have rock solid memory management, they just keep running for weeks and months without the need for a reset. For a US$1000 we should expect better quality all round. Lets hope in te next 6 months we finally get what we paid for.

I sure hope someone here can figure out a hack to fix this soon, cause as it is now, I'm having to soft reset at least once a day, quite often more.
Can any users here who are NOT experiencing the memory leak issues come forward ? I think we would all like to know what we're doing differently that might be causing the memory leaks ...

Hi chtan!
Is it possible to ask you to backup your registry to a file and upload here?
Just to see what is different in your system than ours.
And which is your ROM and ExtendedROM version?

Hi Guys,
The above phenomenon is due to the reason that now we all have data in the flash memory.I was using earlier Nokia Symbian phones, viz 6600,9500...in all these the same used to happen and I had to restart the device...but there are 3rd party softwares, which compress the RAM if the above thing happens and we are at the initital full RAM memory w/o restarting the device...like Stacker, Switcher etc...similarly we also have "Place Maker" for Smart Phones...to do the same...someone can try this app...or someone can make an app to do the same...I hope this gives some light to solve this problem..

Yes, you are right.
This is a secondary option to solve this problem.
But I don't know any application for pocket pc which does RAM-compression.

By RAM compression, do you mean an active app that runs in the background to automatically compress stuff in RAM then decompress stuff in the RAM on-the-fly when used ?
If it is what I think it is, I don't think RAM compression is the way to go unless there is absolutely no other solution, cause compression-decompression will have a significant performance impact.
I think it's more important to get to the root of the problem
NO.
There are many applications for PC which make the RAM free from unused services, applications, files...
Using this method, you don't need to restart your machine.
It worth it for me to push a button or a shortcut to free the memory without a softreset.

Yes, if someone can come up with an app that can "clean" up the RAM, that would be good too

No hack or tweak applied, everything in stock condition. This confirmed my suspicious that Exec and I-mate only having this problem and this is due to their highly customized rom set.
That is strange.. I also have Dopod 900 and suffer from the same problem of memory leaks. The first time I got my Dopod 900 with factory default settings and applications, I played with it for 2 days and noticed that the memory went down to 15++ M.
So I would assume that without any 3rd party applications installed, memory leaks problem is there..
Chtan!
Then you could be a magician, because - i think - we all use the ROM with factory settings after a hard reset, and then - same as you -, when we install a lot of different applications and games, we have the memory leak.
So, what about this registry backup for us?
Or can you write it here the apps and games you use?
I have not performed a soft reset for 5 days. I am performing a test on how long my EXEC can last without having to perform a soft reset. I use mine regularly everyday, about an hour on phone calls, 2 hours on browsing using PIE, the usual opening and closing of applications, and I leave it at night charging while playing a DVD on a continuous loop for non-stop movie playback. I do admit the only time I notice slow downs (4 seconds to open an application) is if I leave about 10 open applications at the same time running in the background. That is why I make sure I close all open applications after use using Handy Menu's option to close all. As of now here is my memory allocations:
Storage
Total: 43.72 MB
In use: 14.52 MB
Free: 29.19 MB
Program
Total: 49.93 MB
In use: 30.94 MB
Free : 18.99 MB (with active sync open and running attached to my computer) If I unplugged my EXEC and close active sync, it goes back to 20.19 MB
These are all my open applications and memory usage without any slow downs:
gwes.exe: 7.48 MB
filesys.exe: 2.72 MB
device.exe: 2.43 MB
cprog.exe: 2.33 MB
shell32.exe: 1.43 MB
repllog.exe: 499.69 KB
services.exe: 227.76 KB
tmail.exe: 163.62 KB
connmgr.exe: 131.81 KB
HandyMenu.exe: 123.81 KB
rapiclnt: 115.90 KB
poutlook.exe: 47.90 KB
SDDaemon.exe: 47.90 KB
MemMaid.exe: 23.90 KB
shfind.exe: 19.90 KB
srvtrust.exe: 7.90 KB
NK.EXE: 0 Bytes
Even with these applications open. My EXEC runs fine with no slow downs.
I am happy with my EXEC. Even after 12 hours of continuous Movie playback at night, I don't feel my EXEC over heating. This thing is amazing!

Imagio RAM utlization

Since there is no push Internet and TouchFlo is only 5% of the mem usage. Anyone know why this phone uses more mem on boot than TP2? I have been poking around running apps and haven't found a hog yet.
Anyone else find any app using a large amount of memory?
You can install the proxy for the cdma touch pro 2 (Rhodium) and it will cut the memory down to about 50% usage. I noticed that mine was running in the mid 70's so I started experimenting with Touch Pro 2 stuff since that 's what I had before and the .cab's were still on my memory card.
Hey guys,
I'm new to the website. Just got my Imagio and liking most of the features. Can you tell me where I can find this .cab file you're talking about. I looked through the touch pro 2 threads but couldn't find anything.
Thanks for the help
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=85996&highlight=disable+push+internet
These 2 cabs worked for me reduced mem usage from 70s to 50s
Read their entire thread, seemed harmless, and installed both cabs. I went from 70% to 50% with no negatives yet. I don't even see the slow Opera loads that the thread mentions. Thanks for the link!
Maybe the pagepool is set too high and/or the freaking MediaFlo service is always running (almost 600Kb worth of precious memory)
Worked for me as well. Thanks for the help
I am never going to use media flo. Hopefully we can find a way to strip it out of the Imagio.
I did install the SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab which recovered some RAM. The Imagio does still seem slightly slower than the TP2, probably just 6.5 vs 6.1.

i doubt it since i just saw a post at engadget mentioning that 6.5 is noticeably snappier on the same hardware vs. 6.1. i believe they were speaking in reference to the Leo though so it's not an apples to apples comparison.
I had both devices, the TP2 is definitely a little quicker. The leo/hd2 is obviously a different animal all together.
The mem fix for the Imagio is temporary, after a day it is back in the 80's% utilization w/o a reset. The proxy was the same for the TP2, except the disabling the push internet provided some permanent relief. I'm sure once it is unlocked and roms are cooked things will get better.
So when/how does this cooking process begin? Does it take a long time to get a stripped-down Rom?
That VCast Mobile TV Icon is really bugging me, and I'm sure its just eating away at my memory. I also really don't need all that other VCast/Mobile IM/VZNavigator junk that they put on there to increase monthly fees.

I think an Unlocker is being worked on, or needs to be worked on before any ROM cooking is possible. Depending on whether anyone has an Imagio they are able to toy with in this regard and how knowledgeable they are, it could be tomorrow or months before we see this happen. I'm hoping it will be sooner than later of course. =)
You can remove the Verizon programs by deleting them out of the programs files directory then going into the windows/start menu directory delete the shortcuts. It will free up around 20-25mb.

I installed this one "SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab", but what does the other cab file do and where I can I find it.
After installing both of those programs, my memory usage is down in the low-fifities. Of course, it slowly creeps up throughout the day. But at least now, the creep is from 50--> 70 rather than 60-->80.

This will simply free up storage space on the device ROM, not RAM correct? Or does removing these mean that less is loaded into RAM at startup? And do you get any startup error messages when you soft reset after doing this?
Now i could be wrong but I don't think any of them load to ram unless you actually run them. But yes that will only remove them from the storage memory.
My previous Verizon Diamond used even more memory then the Imagio % wise. I actually feel the Imagio is pretty good with ram by comparison. The crappy thing with my old phone was the storage would fill up with only the basics installed so I had to remove every VZ programs just to keep it from being totaly filled.
I really think touchflo uses a lot of memory combined with emails, sms, and the dialer and any other dormant software you have scheduled to run. That is just my take on it.
I've been playing with my imagio pretty much all weekend and I notice the amount of memory being used too. Mine hangs around 74 to 75 percent with TouchFlo 3d enabled. I noticed that once I disabled TouchFlo 3d my memory usage dropped to 65 percent. I'm thinking TouchFlo 3d is using roughly 10% of the ram.
I've installed the SSK TP2 cab and reset the phone, the memory usage is at about 52%. Without launching any apps, it slowly increases over a few hours and tops out in the mid to upper 70s. I reset and it's back down to the 50s.
I will say that as far as general usability, i don't notice any slowdowns in touchflo or other apps when its in the 70s. It's more the principal of wanting to run it as lean as possible, maybe gain a few minutes of extra juice

A way to cure 'Memory Leak'

I'd been experiencing memory leak problem for months. Atleast 1-3 soft-resets were a must within each day. I'd tried out many way to resolve and now I think I've found a way to get over it.
But first, the memory leak in my sense is the decreasing of program's free RAM after each soft reset. Even you are not touching your ppc, your free RAM still going down and hang up at the end.
In my case I primaryly noticed the service.exe size was becoming bigger and bigger from 200KB to 16+MB within few hours (possibly). The problem caused by windows live service. I still do not know any technical reasons behind but after I deleted some Windows Live registry keys, the problem has gone. Now is after my 2 days test, the services.exe has never gone beyond 1.6 MB. System is now very stable no reset required for days.
This might help some system having same problem, so I come here and share this. BUT USE IT AS YOUR OWN RISK.
Go into registry,
HKLM\Services\Windows Live
Delete the keys inside EXCEPT following,
Platform
Plugins
Sync
Version
Also, delete keys inside 'Plugins' EXCEPT following,
Contracts
Messaging
Profile
GOOD LUCK !
nice I will test!
Ill try it out... Hope it doesn't create any issues... Those changes seem ok :\
I don't think many other people are experiencing memory leaks like you, perhaps you should look at your ROM version and what software you have on your device.

This might help some system having same problem, so I come here and share this. BUT USE IT AS YOUR OWN RISK.
Go into registry,
HKLM\Services\Windows Live
Delete the keys inside EXCEPT following,
Platform
Plugins
Sync
Version
Also, delete keys inside 'Plugins' EXCEPT following,
Contracts
Messaging
Profile
GOOD LUCK !

16MB+ for your services.exe?!?!? Jeez...
Which build are you using and on which device? I have refrained from cooking WL applications in my Vogue and if what you are saying is true, then I might just start cooking it in (or not at all, depending on your answer )

A way to completely restore the Windows Live registry tree is uninstall and then re-install WLM cab file.
I used WLM versions Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).cab and WindowsLive_0409.PPC2005_arm.cab. Both versions generated memory leak on my Mitac mio A-702.
There's no new ROM available from the manufacturer nor any cooked ROM available so far.
And most important is I'm just a cute end-user lol.
Anyway hope this post might help somebody.
bump.........
I wish I could find a way to get Pocket CM Contacts v.29 to run without memory leak. It's unusable for me. My Kaiser will be running at 55%, I get a few text messages with PCM running, and suddenly it climbs up to 80% till I close it out completely.
Damn shame.
