Does anyone know how to turn the memory cleaner option off??????

Assuming you are referring to the original question about memory cleaning, and not alcohol effects, you turn off Memory Cleaning by going to
Options / Security Options / Memory Cleaning /
Clean When Holstered: No
Clean When Idle: No

Why do you want to turn it off? It doesn't hurt anything to let it run.

i use it all the time but it does not seem to make much of a difference

It just clears some very small caches that hold sensitive data. It's a security feature, not a memory enhancement tool. You won't be able to see the effect.

the memory cleaner is on my 8130 but sometimes the icon will disappear and i have to put it back on the home page. i have know idea why it disappers.

Resetting your device disables the Memory Cleaner for OS 4.5. You have to restart it. That may be what you're seeing. I'm running 4.2 and it stays running in the background all the time. I don't have the icon on the home screen. There's no need since it runs automatically.

I will have to disagree with not seeing the effects. I just enabled it on my 8310 and went from 10 mb of free memory to over 19 mb. If you mean not seeing an effect on operation of the bberry I have to agree on that.

That's too much memory to recover by clearing the security caches. I'm not saying you didn't recover it, but something else happened at the same time. Did you reboot your device when you enabled the Memory Cleaner?

I do believe its on OS 4.3 and above. Got it on my Tmob 8320 with 4.5.0.93. It defaults "off" when you do a hard reset.
