How does this memory loss thing work? A week after doing this I have now dropped to 18mb and have lost some SMS text and call logs.
What do I have to do to maintain memory (besides what has been written). I have a sd card, I erase my SMS and emails frequenly (daily), I end my conversations on BBM, I have not downloaded any new apps (I have very few, almost can see them all on one page), my homepage picture is shrunk for cell phone use, I only have one theme (AERO), and I followed all the steps, obvsly by the memory gained a week ago.
What's the deal, anyone can help me figure this out? Is there any other info you need to know?

Some Beta OS releases have memory leaks!How does this memory loss thing work? A week after doing this I have now dropped to 18mb and have lost some SMS text and call logs.

All of these things build up and it is good to do a battery pull to recover lost memory from leaks!! I usually do this daily or every other day! (Most times I do not do a Batt Pull, but I do Alt, R-Shift, Del)!!
*EDIT* : The purpose of this guide is to free memory to help prevent bad things from occuring when a leak happens, and it allows you to have enough device memory free to operate normally after experiencing leaks. In no way does this guide prevent leaks
When you device drops below somewhere around the 12Mb threshold, all he11 can break lose and you could lose call logs and messages. Having free memory really helps this to not occur and prevents that occurance! Having 25Mb free, you would need a really drastic leak to drop below 12Mb!!

Thanks for the response. But according to what you wrote, I should have been ok at 18mb. I wouldn't have even noticed a memory leak unless I didn't lose some info on my phone. I didn't have apps running, except for whatever normal operation is going on. The only thing I forgot to mention is, my WiFi stays on all day and night, I am always in a WiFi area unless driving. I know that drains the battery, but does it effect memory leaks?07-10-08 12:11 PM
