under the security options tab in the config, there is an option for memory cleaning, it's currently disabled.
what does it do if i enable it?

Enabled and configured as shown, it will wipe your sensitive personal information whenever you holster the device, or after 5 minutes of inactivity. It's a security feature.

ahh ok thanks. will it improve performance? i don't really think i have any sensitive info on my phone to worry about.

[jeffh]

No. Nor will it hurt performance.

OK, kinda stupid follow-up, but the "cache" it cleans (in address book for example) is not the actual entries, right? It's just like some area with table scraps that are trash anyway...?

[jeffh]

Correct. It's just temp storage that's cleared, not your address book itself.

Thanks, Jeff!

BTW, if you set memory cleaning to enable, it will default to disable either every 24 hours or after every reset (I forget which)

Wnm it is after reset. Mine stays on until I reset every few days

Yeah, just checked it with a reset.

The resetting may very well be OS variant variable. Who knows?

[orangeagent]

Mine automatically disables every 24 hrs or whenever I reset; whichever comes first.

[jeffh]

Pete's correct. I have OS4.2 and mine stays enabled through a reset or battery pull.
