- I dropped from 173.7 MB to 87.9 MB over a 48-hour period this week before rebooting. Whether it would have stabilized at some point or gone all the way down, I don't know, but it is cause for some concern regardless of what you want to call it. This didn't happen on the OS 6 phones.
i would've hoped this issue would have been address and become a NON issue.
i usually have to reboot every 2-3 days to recoop what mem i lose. I start off at 280 and by day 3 i'm down around 230ish. i've driven myself nuts just trying to pinpoint what causes my 9650 to leak....i still don't know. so i just have 'learned' to cope with the leak and reboot as necessary.......
just my 2cents.09-02-11 03:15 PMLike 0 - I think I identified the culprit, it's the browser daemon. Currently using 141mb of RAM. You can view it in the application management screen, go to memory and select to see modules from the list, tap any module to see how much storage and RAM it takes.
I don't know of a way to restart the daemon process other than rebooting. It makes sense because I do browse a lot.
It would be interesting to see if this is the same for others.

The way that the BBOS works is that the os is installed on the 768mb storage known as application memory (not ram) whenever the OS needs resources to power an app like the browser, it uses the application memory. This is not a leak, this is just usage. i went about 18 hours with -0.5mb down according to meterberry but i was browsing for about an hour and a half and had many other apps open and my usage went to -4.5mb. no big. I suggest u guys have your phone set up to restart daily when u are sleeping if it really bothers you. no matter how much memory my phone loses it hasnt slowed down a bit.

The defintion of a memory leak is memory that can't be reclaimed by the system after it's no longer used. In the browser case, every tab I close should return the RAM it used to the system. But somehow the daemon keeps holding on to it, and gradually the system runs out of memory.

I am closing my browser windows,rebooting and going to just use opera mini browser with same usage otherwise and see from there09-03-11 08:54 AMLike 0
