Memory leaks are only in our heads, there are none!!
- Guys, guess what I've just discovered!! We really don't have any memory leaks but I do stand corrected. I found out where a lot of memory goes but we don't realize it. If you press your ALT button along with LGLG, it will bring up your event log. After this is done click menu and go to clear log to clear it. It will be a good idea to pull your battery afterwards. EVERYTHING that we do on our Berries are recorded and unless you go in and clear that log from time to time, it will tremendously build up giving us the illusion that we have a memory leak. Hence, after that log is cleared, you have all of your original memory back. Again, I do stand corrected!!07-16-08 07:32 AMLike 0
- my event log was a mile long
everything ive done was recorded
but it seems like i got back 1 or 2 mgs
my memory went up to18mgs from 12mgs07-16-08 08:27 AMLike 0 - Good deal!! It wouldn't be a bad idea to do that every day or every other day. Since I have 2 batteries, I always do the event log thing before I pull the battery every day.07-16-08 08:32 AMLike 0

- Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorRegardless of the event log or not, there is a memory leak that is associated with the 4.5 betas. However, this is a good way to free up some memory. Good job Apollo, as I'm sure a lot of members had no clue about this function.

If you have any idea of where they could possibly go besides phone logs folder, missed calls folder, event log and anything else that we have on our Berries, I will be convinced. They just don't disappear and in my eyes, the event log would be a major viable option. Convince me??

And if I am reading this correctly, you want to be convinced that the memoury leak actually exists, yes? Well, that is simple. Read your available mem at the beginning of the day, then read it at the end. If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will.07-16-08 09:31 AMLike 0 - Ok so perhaps I am reading this wrong, but I don't quite understand the way you phrased this. What is "they?" Is that the memoury leak??

- Another little trick with the event log....
Go into the event log and press the menu button and go to options.....
scroll down to any of the check boxed items, press the menu button and choose "hide all types". All of the check boxes should changed to unchecked.
Press the menu button again and choose "save". The event log won't save anything from that point.
I hope this helps. Let me know07-16-08 09:42 AMLike 0 -
- Ok. I have this worked out in my head, hopefully this comes across correctly:
The memoury doesn't necessarily "disappear" or "go anywhere." It is simply being used. So when you do a battery pull or optimize or whatever it is you do to get your memoury "back," you aren't really getting it "back," per se, you are just freeing it up, hence, making it available again.07-16-08 09:43 AMLike 0 -

A leak is some hole in code, error with garbage collecting, etc. that causes you to lose memory that cannot be recovered until you reset your device07-16-08 09:44 AMLike 0 - Ok, no problem. I'm just trying to prove a point. For the most part a high percentage of the members discuss memory leaks in certain Operating systems but no one has yet to say where the memory is leaking to. It just doesn't disappear sweetheart, that's what I'm saying.

Try thinking of it in terms of your PC. You open an app
and it needs resources to run (memory). When you close
that app you would expect it to return most if not all
of those resources. Some do, other do not.
Same with the BB. Maybe leaking is a bad term and it
should be memory bleeding, but there are some apps,
Viigo for instance that are notorious for degrading
available memory.07-16-08 09:46 AMLike 0
