    OK....If you know for SURE!!! of an app that has an absolutely terrible memory leak, why not post it here. Then, maybe we can make a comprehensive list of apps for folks to check through to make sure that their memory leaks are indeed something new....

    Weatherbug.

    App World, of course.

    THN Mobile if you allow automatic news/scores downloading.

    What about battery drains? I can sorta live with the memory drain, but battery... that's a show stopper. I say that cause .141 is draining me!

    I didn't know that App World has a memory leak. That true? I did finally delete WB. I like having it on my Storm but it's not worth the trouble.

    A while back I saw it written everywhere that viigo had memory leak issues and a lot of people were complaining. I still use it caus its probably the app I use most, i don't notice huge leaks though. Did this all get sorted or was it an os problem?

    I've never had any issues with THN mobile causing memory leaks and I have always allowed the auto update features.

    Pretty amazing performance, what theme (if any) are you running and do you use logmaid?

    My Verizon seems to be a problem... And of course I haven't seen a theme yet that is not a memory leak by itself!

    E's Win OS 7 Limited

    and NO on Log Maid (I actually don't do manual memory cleans anymore either.)

    I've run a few of E's, Sphereberry and Appleberry and none have had SIGNIFICANT memory issues.

    Themes are overrated anyways, IMHO. I tried a few at first, but realized how resource intensive and leaky they tended to be, and decided to stick to the stock GUI. I arranged it the way I like it, and now prefer it to any other theme. And besides, it says "Storm" much like the iPhone's theme says "iPhone" - It really is a pretty nice theme, and on the lyricidal .141/5.0 hybrid is literally as fast as the iPhone's GUI.

    I've still have some memory issues with viigo, and I've done every Beta OS leak thus far (as of late I was on .141, and just reverted back to .132, don't know if any hybrid would resolve this).
    Despite the mem leak, I deal with it because I like the app.
    I just hope with future upgrades they can solve this issue.

    You need to stop using poorly made themes. (LOL)

    Try a well made theme and you will not go back. A good theme will drastically increase productivity on the storm.

    Negative...they did not fix it. Both versions of 1.5.31 and 1.5.32 still have fairly significant memory leak.

    What OS are you running cause I am normally at 44.3 on start-up and finish around 28-30 by the end of the day...

    I am running the Bliss 8 hidden today theme, it is the cause of my mem drain cause before when i use the original installed theme my memory would drop 3-5 throughout the day...

    I also have app world, meterberry, wb, where, trapster, angelsbaseball, facebook, and google maps installed...

    I dont know how to post a picture of my meterberry memory log to show you

    Hmmm I like to read about memory related issues on the Strom because this has been my number 1 problem since the very beginning. Right now i start at 27M and end up at or below 10M by the end of the day. Despite many experimentations with the apps that i have i have never been able to figure out what app or apps is the culprit. This is what i have (and use regularly):
    OS - .141, E's HTC theme, acceloDex, AP News, DataVault, BBWeather, File Manager Pro, Poynt, QuickLaunch 1.4.001, TheStreet, YouTube (I have many more but never start them for experimental purposes.)

    Can anybody tell me if any of those would be a definite no no when it comes to mem leaks?

    I also make sure that i always have ONLY the 4 essential apps running in the bg (phone, browser, Home Screen, Messages). All other apps are started and stopped as i need them.

    In one experiment i even didn't start ANY apps for 24 hours. The memory leak was reduced but still significant (even when using the Storm theme).

    I love my storm but would be sooooooo very happy if i could leave it on for long periods of time (at least > 24 hrs) without having to worry about memory leaks.

    Any advice, idea, comments ???
