Hello folks, just experiencing something very strange on my PB, and wanted to hear from you guys.

I updated my PB today to the newest 2.0.1.358 update
Now I dunno if this was happening before, but I restarted my PB with the update, and I discovered the about section, and I checked my "total memory" and "free memory"
1gb for total and thats normal, but for free memory I started with 548mb. I noticed though, that it kept decreasing increasingly fast, like before my eyes before it settled in the 350's
6 hours later and I am down to 170mbs and it keeps climbing down

Any ideas why this could be happening?

I wonder if this is why my PB was randomly shutting down, complete black screen for minutes before I had to do a hard reset...then minutes later it would restart.

Btw, I only have 2 android apps, that I never even use that often, downloaded from appworld if that matters

Thank you!

No memory leaks on the playbook The OS is taking up the 500mb RAM to run.

As for randomly shutting off you may have a bad app or system file. It might be best to do a debrick and start off with a clean OS

There has been reports of memory leaks on the playbook, I personally have noticed that same problem a few times in the past. Some think it could be caused by the android player, there is a series of steps that somehow stops the android player from running in the background and stops the leak. I have done it before and it really works. It even brings the free memory up to 630 MB.

I dont know if the new update fixes the problem, I guess since you have it the answer is no.

There's a thread discussing memory leak after the update here:
