The big puzzler is why some have it, some have it worse and some don't have it at all. This makes me think it is a flaw in a particular device working in conjunction with certain add ons like themes, special icons and certain apps. My memory does not leak at all(less than 1mb/24hrs). I even tried the battery ex that was an issue and had a leaking situation that stabilized and never happened again. Like it was becoming accustomed to my bold and settling in. But why JayDee has her drastic leak that never settles, now That is the Question.That is insane
- Somehow I think this memory leak issue will not get fixed for our devices. The only way to avoid this is basically getting a device that was designed with OS6 as the original OS like the 9780 or Torch. I hope I am wrong though
Could be a fault in the internals somehow not allowing the bold to regain it's mb of lost memory. It just keeps leaking instead of stabilizing and recovering? I notice when I run my browser my mem goes down a bit but always recovers as I'm browsing. Gotta be some faulty internal issue with the device that prevents recovery of it's own memory.

It's alive and well and vibrant and doing work 24/7 and making me happy at the same time!
Good Luck Skyboxer! Keep me posted, ok?03-02-11 07:27 AM - Jim, who knows what the deal is! Usually I don't recover any mem while browsing till I clear my cache out, and even then, I don't regain that much back.The big puzzler is why some have it, some have it worse and some don't have it at all.

If it is something internally faulty that doesn't have the ability to gain the mem back, what doesn't make sense to me is why do some devices recover & function ok, while others like jaydees, hamsters & mine just drop? Ya know what I mean? It's mind boggling!
welcome to the dysfunctional ramblin family!
ahhhh. Well, the good part of that is at least you will be able to pass it on to one of your kids, so the money isn't completely out the window. I haven't even thought about looking into my next upgrade because I did just get my Bold in Dec., but prob sometime the end of this yr or beginning of next I'll start snooping around.There may be an EOL for our BOLD officially, but everytime I mention it people say that it is rumored only.

03-02-11 07:53 AM - Oh my Bold is still a fine device also (no leaks!) But I want the best BlackBerry experience I can have. People balk at paying full price but I don't think they realize this is something that will be in or near their hand during pretty much all their waking hours. That means a lot to me and is worth the price of admission. So if its as good as the specs say, then I'm there, as long as the battery will hold out.There may be an EOL for our BOLD officially, but everytime I mention it people say that it is rumored only.

Which brings me back to my other post. I hope to find a replacement seidio 2600 locally, but I'll order if I have to. Either way I'll keep you informed.03-02-11 08:23 AM - Thanks for the "heads up". When I first loaded this hybrid the browser never crashed and I thought it was "gold". Slowly it started to crash a bit more often and this morning is the worst so far. So I don't know if it's CB or not. Since I'm probably on CB more than any other site, CB tends to get the blame. I know your using bolt so we can't compare notes. There is a new leak out, 481 I think, thats been built into a hybrid. To be honest my browser has had the crashing issue to one degree or another since I came over to 6. So I dunno. I guess there's always bolt. Gotta find my coke bottle glasses first.03-02-11 09:55 AM
- yes, I noticed right away yesterday aft you gave me direction on how to work the default magnifying glass function. Within the first 10 mins of being on it and browsing through the screen shots of the bold section, that's when mine first froze and forced itself shut. The second time was something I was reading and the font was gigantic and it froze again, but that time I forced my browser closed. So there is a pattern there, that's why I toggle back and forth between the 2 functions now. Guess we will just have to deal with it! Oh well.I noticed the same thing so I think your onto something. It's probably just the way it is. Mine will freeze and if I leave it alone it will close in about a minute. It's only when using the text wrap feature. Probably just have to live with it.

03-02-11 10:52 AM - @ Pink, This has been a progressive disorder for my browser tho. It has simply deteriorated over a period of time. About 3 weeks or so. It seems I've noticed that when I load a diff os it works better then slowly drops off to being a pita. I may try that new hybrid, gives me an excuse, right,? right?
03-02-11 11:06 AM - FWIW someone posted that there was no memory leaks noticed with this hybrid. Don't know if that means they were having issues previously on another os or not. It's a 466 base with a 481 over the top and some 6.0.13 thrown in. I'm downloading some fresh files right now and a copy of plain 431 just as a backup for any "just in case" scenerio.
Apparently there has been a reported bug already of Q/L not working with media files. I don't use that feature anyway. D/L done, Time to install.03-02-11 11:55 AM - No Memory leaks!

As if.
I will probably wait. I'm sure I will have them. I'm at -47 right now after 8.5 hours. Multiply that number out...-94 after 17 hours....we're not to a full day yet....****E03-02-11 12:10 PM - ok, I see. So basically over this time you've noticed a degrade in browser performance, gotcha. Mine was immediate when I switched to the default view-it got to be too tedious since yest so I'm back to the wap3 versh w/my purple reading glasses for a lil extra help@ Pink, This has been a progressive disorder for my browser tho.

Heck, its as good as any reason to load a new OS! Go for it!

The known QL bug with accessing media files is nothing I can't work around. Everything is pretty snappy fast and good.
@hamster and Pink, I couldn't believe the colors in that pic you both commented on. Right outside my door. We usually do get pretty nice sunsets here, but last evening's was a keeper so I snapped it.03-02-11 05:09 PM - Good luck with the HYBRID, there Jim, lol!OK, I've got the 481 hybrid combo up and running for the past 3 hours or so and it seems fine, no issues I've noticed yet.

Amazing, the colours, the scene. Breathtaking, I would have snapped a couple myself ..do you mind sharing it?03-02-11 05:36 PM - OK, I've got the 481 hybrid combo up and running for the past 3 hours or so and it seems fine, no issues I've noticed yet.

Its funny you mentioned the media bug with QL, i acutally have it on 443. When I bring up QL, and hit "M" it'll bring me to "media-pictures" i click it, and sometimes QL will close and go right back to my homescreen. I thought there was something funky goin on. It doesn't do it all the time tho. It seems quirky. lol.
As for that sunset, damn, it doesn't get any nicer looking than that right out your front door! that was def a keeper!03-02-11 05:59 PM
