Memory message @ 20MB ???? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

For some reason,
when i download apps,
and my internal memory gets to 20MB or a bit lower,
The phone wont stop alerting me that its low on memory.
Does anybody else have this,
20Mb is enough isnt it..
5MB would be more suited for alerting,
or maybe even 1MB.
just wanted to know if its my device being a little b...h!
or if its default for everyone.

Happens the same to me. I've always got it below 20MB so i've always got the notification. Don't know how to put it off though.

Memory critically low with 55mb free storage + 68mb free program??

It's very annoying, I'm getting a "critically low storage memory" pop up, while I have 55mb storage mem free and 68mb program memory free...
So, I try to run this game, and the system hangs and pops up a low storage memory error. Then I reboot and I get like 2-3 pop ups while I have to enter PIN that the system is low on mem. Could it be that the game causes trouble or ROM trouble?
..The other threads in here didn't really answer this...
I had the same problem trying to run Android.
So I guess its just a software problem.
Yeah, I noticed it's software prob too. Another game did the same thing.
While COD2 and some other big size games run fine, some smaller size games gave me the problem.
Thanks for the answer

Memory Leak issue

Hi, My Diamond seems to have memory leak issue.
I soft reset my device, the memory is 55% but after a activesyn the memory become 60%. If i open any program, the memory go up and will not release after the program is closed.
Any solutions?
Same solution as with any PC? Reboot.
My Diamond has been up to 70% memory, without any programs running.
This is why i think the RAM of Touch Diamond is not enough.
didn't run anything, but still got 65% or higher RAM usage. even with a Lite rom.
it sucks.

Make sure the application is closed, rather than minimized. Minimize an application has the benefit of being able to re-start quicker the next time. Closing (quiting) the application has the benefit of releasing the memory, if not all.
this is a WM6.1 issue not your diamond.
Guys, are there any tools which can let us check which applications or processes are occupying memory?

I just have it installed but so far I cannot find what I want.
How can I get the list of processes running in the background, just like what we usually do with Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows?

What programs do you have that wont run on 35% free ram?
even with 72% usage you still have over 30 megs free!
I have never had a problem running an app on my Diamond due to lack of ram.
How often are you seeing the "Not enough available ram" message?

Yeah I get the same sort of problem to,
Throughout the day, connecting my Diamond to my laptop at work, use activesync, update the weather, sending texts and also looking at pictures on my phone, and playing the occasional game, my memory will get to about 65% free.
Yes I can continue to use my phone, and its not a major problem but its a niggle that could do with being sorted.
When the memory usage gets to 70% I then Soft Reset the Device as this always speeds it up.
It is the best Windows Mobile phone ive owned, and I use the Soft Reset function alot less on my Diamond than I have before.
However it would be nice to own a Diamond without having to Soft Reset it so often. The memory leak issue needs to be fixed Microsoft!!!!!!! Take note!

When your diamond is with 70% or higher ram usage, try to play a song and then open the opera or IE, they will lag your music. You still think 30MB ram is that much?

Yip just did that
Memory was on 79% with Icontacts and Second Today Phone Alarm and Pocket Breez running
Started a song in Manila Music (Korn YAY!!!) listening on A2DP via my Plantronics 855 then opened a web site in Opera. as Opera was opening the song jumped twice for a split second and then played fine. I surfed a few sites and skipped songs using the headset controls all without problems Then I took a call and had one on hold all without a hitch, after I ended the second call the music started up again and I opened a new website
By now the memory was at 88% and it still worked fine.
Don't know if its the Rom I'm using (Shine On 1.5) but my device seems to cope with its ram with no problems. Even with only 13megs free ram Manila was as responsive as with 40megs free.

Filesys.exe taking almost 95% of CPU, help!

filesys.exe remains at 16.4mb.. and wondering if this is normal or how to reduce it to normal? Or any fix to this?

I think its normal, it uses 16.3mb in my xperia...
Huh?? Not for me. It takes 2129kb.
Cool eh?
That's defniately not taking up 95% of its ram though, considering it has like 200.48 MB of program memory. Check your programs running, make sure you dont have alot of stuff running, and restart your phone. If it starts up and stays at 95%, youve got a problem. Either alot of apps are opening at the start for some strange reason, or youve got a very screwed up ROM.
im using gttrab's barebone r3.6. very stable.
one thing i noticed was: when i take out storage card, filesys.exe: 7mb.
doesnt ANYBODY have this problem too?
im just running normal stuff, spb shell, voice command, s2u2. thats it....

PingChat! Memory Leak?

Hi all
Does anyone else use PingChat! the instant messenger?
From a fresh boot, the PingChat services seem to consume less than 10mb. As I use my phone (and PingChat!) over the space of a day or 2, the memory consumption of this application just seems to go up. I have seen it as high as 44mb(!) and I haven't actually used it for a few hours. I can understand it needs to run constantly (for the push notification service to work) but I think this much memory is excessive.
Does anyone else notice this behaviour? Any suggestions? i don't really want 50mb being used by an application that I may use!!
Cheers!

[Q] RAM Swap on Z1?

Hey Guys,
I was just around XDA and I was reading about someone who was saying that the Ram Swap have the "opinion" to not be useful at all but someone else who complain about the ram consumption saying that Swap is needed at must if on low Ram, and that was said from Power Users on XDA.
I understand that on High-End Devices this script not have space in the first place but I want to go extreme. Why Not?
Like all we know we have enough Ram to share but we also know that all the latest applications and Games eat a lot of Ram and when they consume Ram in excess Android will kill all the applications in background to let other applications working well.
Let's said that 2GB of Ram (1,66GB effective) it's not much on our Z1 and probably nobody take my idea seriously but I think that after few years when huge applications will come out on our devices, hungry of ram, then you will see that maybe this will help.
So my question is if it will be possible to expand the Ram with Swap on SD to let Android not kill Applications and have more Ram (virtual and real) to share. Like 1,66 real + 1GB Swap?
Do you think it will be a good Mod? It's difficult to make it real? It will be ever available on our Z1?
Well the Z1 only has 11gb or usable internal memory and i wouldnt want to make 1 or 2 of that useless just in case i run out of 1.7gb of ram on the device which doesnt happen very often. and the other thing is if you actually make a swap partition and manage to set it up , then when you run out of ram and device start to use the sd card or the external sd (which i think is even slower) as a ram the phone will start to run extremely slow compare to normal. i think swap partition make more sense on a linux production machines or a server when you cant afford any programme to be shut down. having said that if the mod is ever going to be availible ill probably make 500Mb swap just incase
Yes it is possible to make a swap partition on the Z1, just don't bother with it. Swap is really slow, your apps won't get killed but it will take a very long time to open them again since your internal memory/sd-card is that much slower than the RAM in your device.
You could try messing around with the Android minfree settings but other than that, deal with it. Try searching on Google for some tutorials on customizing your minfree settings.
