Hello,
I own a Qtek S200 and I have loaded it with every possible ROM without solving my problem. The problem is a very strong memory leak.
After a reset I have something like 17 mb free. At the end of the day I end up with around 5 Mb and here we go for another reset.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus so every task I start is completely closed when I am done with it.
Does anybody have the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks
xtrips - great topic title! A+ for effort
You'll have to detail what software you've got installed, and for your own benefit, try hard resetting and running the device without any software installed to confirm the location of the leak. Frankly advice is going to be - hard reset, re-install one app at a time and run it for a while, until you find the one that leaks.

Hi, I'm having the same kind of problems, never got time to test and check if it's software or OS related..
Need help!
Hi,
I just want to know how much RAM do you have left after a soft reset and if it holds an acceptable amount of free ram in the long run.
I have tried every available ROM on my S200 and I usually run the following softwares:
- SPB diary, weather, time, insight
- Wisbar Advanced
Well after soft reset I have something like 18 Mb free but after an hour it gets to 10. The morning after I only have 6 or 5. At this point it is useless to try to run anything. It just freezes.
I usually do at least 2 or 3 soft resets a day.
I am sick of it and I would like to know if anybody shares the same experience?
Thanks
Ditto here too, a memory leak of some sort. Installed SKs soft to 'get back' the RAM which just sends hibernate calls to running soft and has them free up what RAM they have accumulated thus far. I also found that at the end of the day my filesys.exe, gwes.exe and my shell32.exe have trippled or even quadruppled in size and anything I try to free up the RAM is futile - soft reset gets it back to around 18MB. By the way I don't have any SPB Software installed either, it probably isn't any faulty soft, I am thinking that it has to do with these ROMs that we flash with. When the original QTEK ROM was installed the RAM at boot was already at 18 - 20MB and now with 2.20.7.34 it starts with 2.2MB and then jumps back to +/- 18MB after about 10 seconds or so... something in there is clanking around somewhere but I am not a mechanic.
Just my input, I would like to not have to do 2 or 3 reboots per day too...
Hi there, just found that loaded app's dlls won't be unloaded, even if you use a task manager to really close the apps. That seems intended by design, it's not a memory leak (as they won't be loaded again the next time you start that app).
So.... if you use few apps, either intensively or not, you won't have to restart your ppc all the time. BUT if you use many (many) apps, even if you only launch them once per day, you may have to reboot everyday once your memory will be completely filled with those dlls. EVERYTHING uses dlls (and they have not much in common), including creating a new contact, new task, viewing your calendar, launching a settings applet, etc.
i have got the same problem, using AKU 2.3 ROM, which ROM are you guys using? And what today plugins have you got?
I have:
luncher
spb diary 2.2.1
ptravelalarm 2.7 beta
Don't bother....

I've been evolving around the same set apps loaded in my PDA from the beginning, on the other hand I tried 'almost' all the AKU's around and i can tell you that:
- only when I tried AKU's 3.x or WM6, and only then, I could clearly notice a serious improvement in memory management.
I was always blaming the software I was installing but i ran many tests including running my PDA with the OS only, not even loading Extended ROM stuff. Well my S200 always behaved badly.
The problem is these AKU's are still very buggy and i had to reverse back to the release Qtek version 2.2 os.
It's the worse for memory management (i wake up sometimes wit only 2.3 mb memory lesft to use!) but it still is the most stable and all features works.
That's all.
has anyone thought of a way around this? or a way to increase RAM for that matter? i've been using PocketIE and after 3 or more additional windows via spb pocketplus, the prophet slows down drastically or worse it hangs when i check the RAM it's already critically low.. i tried rebooting the prophet and running only PocketIE again through GPRS (3 windows again) still the same thing.. slows or hangs.. any workarounds here? BTW im using iMate ROM 2.13.9.23WWE if it helps.. RAM starts up at 18MB..
Hi, having same problems here with ram. Maybe we could just stop some processes we don't use form start up. For instance
Input method; i just use kboard, not handtype or phonepad
Dictionary
MMS
GPRS
Speedialing...
The question; HOW TO!?
Maybe you could try the little proggie OxiosMemory to get rid of the trash without having to soft-reset. Can be found typing OxiosMemory in Google.

Hy there guys and girls!
1st of all PLEASE HELP ME! Dont now more what to do...
2nd IAM Really sorry for my bad english...
ok, lets go to the problems
my s100 is everyday more and more slower! and i didnt do anything wrong, here check my rom and radio version! i now its not the most actual there is, but its what i have:

its slow receiving calls, doing everything, looks every day more slower
the only software iam using is SPRITE BACKUP, SPRITE POCKET MON and SPRITE DETECTIVE... TCPMP Core Pocket Media Player ... :shock:
but the worst, is when i use the s100 keypad (near the awnsering key, that allows to scrool up and down the menus in today screen) when i scrool down or up, like, i want to see my ACTIVE TASK without using the PEN, i push down twice, and "shadow" just like in the picture apears from nowere, look: (its the white bar over the ACTIVE TASK menu)
why does this happens???
thanks for reading my post, and i hope someone can help me! :?
did you reset it?
it might be slowing down because it doesn't close application
it really just minimizes it so you might want to find an application that acts as a close button
just search for it since there are many and some are free (your list of programs doesn't include a closer that's why i'm suggesting it)
a temporary solution is goto settings -> memory -> running programs (tab) and close things you aren't using
the white bar i'm not sure of, but try resetting and if that doesn't work, then change the today theme
if that doesn't work then you might want to backup and do a hardreset
While checking the running programs, take a look at the first memory tab too. Is there enough memory left before & after closing the running apps? & definitely check this tab right after a soft-reset & see how much memory is available then, if it's less then, let's say, 10MB you need to free up your memory by installing stuff to SD instead of 'default location' (which means the same RAM memory as your programs will use to run in)

BTW VJOkButt is a nice & small closer. PHM powertoys is useful too.
thanks for the replys...
but still got the same problems, i soft reset, i hard reset, and still runs very slow, and still show that white bar on the today functions, when iam scrolling over them....
some times when i press the call button on the today screen, i have to wait 5 or 6 seconds to show the dialer keypad...
please help!!! maybe the ROM? maybe the phone is broken? pleasy help me!

When it's the same after a hard-reset & not installing any software, you're device might be the problem. Try upgrading then for a last chance or returning your device.
M
Maybe you were used to another cell phone which was much faster than s100 and now you find it slow?
For how long are you s100 user? Was it slow like this from the first day or it deteriorated day by day?
its deriorating day by day
i use the s100 about 8 months
i cant do the upgrade because of warranty, unless i know a way to do it without having any risks! :wink:
damn , phone

Does the white shadow just stay there in one place, over the task plugin?
When you go down once more, does the white shadow highlight the calendar plugin etc? Or is it just stuck there, even when you press dpad down again?

You say that you're using "Sprite Backup, Sprite Pocket Mon And Sprite Detective...". After you hard reset, are you restoring your backup using Sprite backup? Or are you finding this white bar on active task immediately after a full hard reset?
So you are finding that when you hard reset, align screen, today screen appears, press dpad and the white bar is stuck there?
V
yes when it goes down it stays over the calendar plugin, or over the owner plugin... if i click with the pointer in another positions, it does not desapear, only desapears if i click start then programs the "X" (close) or open another program and then return to today screen,
Have you tried what happens after a hard-reset without any additional software installed & without restoring your backup yet.
M
yes, appens the same stuff without installing anything and without restoring anything
You can try to solve it with another rom via
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
&

But I think you'd better return it on warranty if available.

Has anyone realised that the HTC Universal is not as fast you expected? I've tweaked the registry and done all the optimisations, but my HTC Universal can get sluggish sometimes.
I bought a Dopod 900, and I am using the latest Dopod 900 ROM. Made some Extended ROM modifications, which only involved removing the extra telcos settings from my phone.
Let's see what I have installed in my ROM:
Pocket Breeze + Contact Breeze
Resco Explorer (w/ FTP Client and Registry Editor)
Total Commander
Pocket Informant
Pocket Music
Pocket Hack
Pocket Mechanic
ClearVue Office Suite
Photo Contacts
Now for my other programs in the SD card:
TCPMP Player
SPB Benchmark
My Registry Tweaks:
Upped the Glych Cache to 32MB (limit = 32768)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
Speeded up the Start Menu Animation (AniType = 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
Increased Font Cache to 16MB (CS = 16384)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Systems\GDI\SYSFNT
Increased Storage Cache to 16MB (CacheSize = 16384)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Systems\StorageManager
After soft reset, my free ROM is 19MB and free RAM is usually 20-25MB. I only have the Pocket/Contact Breeze Today plug-in on my Today screen.
However, after all the tweaks my Dopod 900 is still not as fast as I expect it to be. Just to quantify "fast" I mean no lag or little lag (less than 2 sec) when open programs and stuff.
I ran SPB benchmark on my clean hard-resetted Dopod 900 and the CPU Index was around 1000+ while the Graphics Index was only 200+
I did a search and found a SPB benchmark for a Dopod 900 from some Chinese review. The CPU index was around 1300+ and Graphics Index was around 200+
My CPU index seems to be 20% slower than the reviewer's result. Is something wrong with my set?
And is there something wrong with Dopod 900 Graphic Drivers? A score of 200+ on Graphics Index is pathetic especially when you consider that the Eten M600 and even the Dopod 838 (HTC Wizard) can achieve 2800+ on Graphics Index.
If anyone has SPB benchmarks results to share of their own HTC universal, please share with us.
I am no expert. I am a newbie to Pocket PCs, but one thing I've learned, as long as you minimize installing applications in the main memory, you can speed up your universal.
You can install Total Commander to your SD Card too. I have that in my SD Card and it works just fine.

I thought it was the other way round. WM5 PPC access ROM faster than SD Card right? So my installing my core apps into ROM, it should run faster.
RE
I think you should sell your Dopod 900 because you'll be vey disappointed for the simple reason that your expectation of less than 2sec opening for each and every application will never be realized
the most of registru hacks you applied speed up the display but decrise program memory. my expirience says: more program memory - faster device. I get rid of EVERYTHING I don't relly need and my wizard starts with ~27mb of program memory and I love it!
mine is fast, starts up with 30meg.
i think you have amped up your registry tweaks to total overkill. wind em back to the recommendations.
i also believe your pocket breeze and contact breeze are slowing it down, what happens when you remove from today and soft reset.
i can only assume you have done the really obvious, like removed the antivirus software, disabled error reporting, and disabled auto beams.
what is in your startup?
do you have applications on the today screen access the SD card? do you have sd card memory readers on the today screen? are you running any close features such as magic button etc
is activesync auto running in the background?
i have SPB PP, SPB Diary, SPB Backup, SPB GPRS, SPB Weather, all running on startup as today plug ins and my device is acceptable (generally sub 2 - 3 seconds application launch and screen rotation), but if I switch them all off, everything is instantaneous. I also have MSVC running on startup with the SPB stuff. On boot up, RAM is 25mb instead of 30mb.
also, do you have a large PIM file from synchronising contacts and calendar? mine was 5mb and slow. by controlling what I was syncing, namely calendars, and only 100 contacts, it is down to 1mb, this had a big impact.
Also, there is a big trick, if you dont use video calls, disable it. its on these forums, or can be done via hard reset and not install the cab. there is a registry to disable it. this will consume 30 meg.
Yes, this is all discussed elsewhere. Ensure you haven't installed the extended cab as far as possible, and indicate if you're using the extended rom dialler skin, which is a considerable drain.
Is the bench marking app reliable? I know Buzz was working on some lightweight roms and it'll be interesting for us to benchmark our different flavours.
V
The simplest way to make your device speed up by almost 40% is to prevent the Ext.Rom from installing. All you need to do is first hard-reset your device and when during the process of windows setup, when you come to the operator customisation screen, just soft-reset. This will prevent your device from installing any of the carrier customisation files on the Ext.Rom.
Try it, you won't regret it one bit.

Can you please post a screen shot of what our phone skin should look like? I know I used corporate mode on O2's ROM, does this ensure that I did not let any of the Ext ROM to install?
I also found the thread that discusses about the phone skin. Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40342
Are you referring to this registry tweak to correct the phone skin?
To set or remove the operator phone skin
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'
The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
For example, to show the default skin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0
I don't have my phone and facilities infront of me to take screenshots, so am posting some rubbish from my site. But basically, WITH the extended rom specific skin, your VGA phone looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Without the ext rom skin (this is the pin entry screen, but it's similar but less screwed up):
The without skin is much much faster.
I've had an idea about how to re-skin the phone hopefully in a light weight manner, but haven't had a second to play with the idea. When I get some time, hopefully next week, I'll play with a proof of concept.
V
But Vijay, doesn't that mean that you lose the ability to make video calls?
wouldn't know, no one ever wants to see my face!
Generally I think it does, but I think the more complete thread posted above contains some details about how to re-enable it. There's also posts somewhere on how to re-enable the terrible intellidialer.
V
Thanks very much Vijay. I'll try it too. Since I'm in the US, we don't have video calls yet, I think.

After a soft reset, it loads the following programs/today plugins: Today Agenda, Pocket Weather and iLauncher. Although the Trinity is plenty fast, I did change the registry with the same buffer and memory hacks as described in the Wiki for WM5 devices, this normally decreases the available RAM just a bit. Anyway, I just did a soft reset to verify the available RAM and it is showing exactly 30.0 meg. I then load Photo Contacts Pro manually and end up with 28 meg. of free RAM. After starting up a wifi connection, and loading Pocket Outlook, IE plus and other apps, then closing them all down again, I still end up with 27 meg. free. I'm quite pleased with this number since my Prophet only shows about 20.6 meg after a soft reset with exactly the same application setup and load and close app procedure.
I forgot to mention mine loads with the factory default plugins and also TomTom 6.
I also have Skype installed but I removed it from the today because I noticed that the gui was getting a bit slow, nothing dramatic just enough to notice it.

This is with the phone activated.
SPB PP + Weather panel + Comm manager.
When you say 30, do you mean in total or just for programs?
In my opinion, mine is running very slowly, I am quite disapointed with its performance. Specially with PocketInformat and Flexmail.
Any sugestion?
Thanks in advance.

I meant 30 meg free for Programs, storage space on mine is 0 because I still don't have a storage card that works in it, so it is full of stuff. It is driving me crazy! I've ordered a new mini SD ...waiting. Dopod is a phone company in Asia that sells a version of the P3600. Sometimes they have a cleaner firmware ROM than HTC.

When I say Storage, I mean the storage side of the internal memory of the Triny, not the added SD Card.
You may know that the internal memory is divide in two parts, Programs and Storage.
Just for your information, as memory card, I am running a Sandisk of 2 GB without problems in my Triny.
Earlier this week I decided to do some "spring cleaning" and did a hard reset. With the exception of no reinstalling a phone skin (trying to live with the default skin and save the memory) I have all the same applications as before, installed to the same locations. But about 30-40% of the time when I do a soft reset my device will lockup. I have a Cingular 8125 and the latest HTC ROM.
To try and track this down I removed everything from my startup folder and disabled all Today plugins then started doing reset after reset. I then started adding things back one by one. To make an already long story short it seems to be an issue when the Today screen plugins are being loaded, and is not any particular plugin (I run three, all third party).
Of the three one has a very small memory footprint, the second kind of medium and the third a little larger. There does seem to be a relationship between how many plugins (and size) I am loading and the frequency of the lockups. With only the smaller plugin I have reset 4 times with no problems. With only the medium it is about 1 of three and with all three loaded it is almost 1/2 the time. All the plugins are the same version I was running (without this problem) before the reset.
I am running a few "tweaks" via Tweaks2K2 and SK Tools, but these are also the same tweaks I ran before. 21 megs of storage and 18 for memory. I'll probably forget something else to put into the equation.
Any ideas? I could do another reset and hope for the best, but (insert whining here) I just got everything reconfigured.

This may or may not help, but when I was running the straight Cingular 2.25 rom, I had lots of lockups, freezing (requiring a soft reset or even pulling the battery) and lots of dropped calls. For about 6 months I thought the 8125 was the worst device ever made, and was kicking myself for paying $200 for it and was looking at switching to a Nokia device running Symbian (like my old 6620)....
Then I found XDA-Developers. I was nervous at first, but then decided to give ROM flashing a chance. I started by CID unlocking and then going to the Faria AKU 3.3. I was amazed... My 8125 was now fast, and I had ZERO lockups, freezes, and my dropped call issue went away. Suddenly the worst phone / purchase I had made, was now a dream and what I had imagined this device should be like. I've since moved to various WM6 ROMs and while these are not perfect, I still do not have the problems I had with the Cingular stock ROM.
Flashing isn't for everyone, but I can say that for me, most of the issues I had (and made me absolutely hate my 8125) went away when I upgraded to a custom rom (and ones like the Faria 3.3, Molksi 3.3, Molski 2.6 final, and similar) are all VERY stable, fast, and just fantastic upgrades.
If you decide to try this, then make sure you read and understand this thread and the threads it points you to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Thanks for the thoughts and the link. The IT department wasn't thrilled when I upgraded from my original to the current ROM, they could have a heart attack if I go to a cooked ROM. But if I can't figure anything else out I'm game to try that. I'll be out a lot the next couple of weeks and would rather live with what I have than take the small chance on bricking the phone right now.
I should have mentioned that all three plugins are installed to main memory, however two of the three (iLauncher and PB) are accessing my SD card for program icons and skins. There seems to be a relationship here. When I move the PB skins to main memory rather than SD the lockups seem to drop pretty dramatically. iLauncher loads after PB loads so assuming any issue with the card (maybe initializing) are gone before iL loads. I reformatted the card, but that doesn't seem to matter.
SD cards vary in their performance. Could be if you have some noname SD brand, it may have errors or perf issues. Maybe pick up a name brand (like Sandisk) or somesuch and see if the problem goes away. Also some of the larger (1GB and larger) can be flakey.
It is a SanDisk card and is 1 gig. But one can never have too many cards, maybe I need another.
Hmmm, my TD2 only seems to have 183MB of Program memory. The official specs say "288MB RAM", the same as the Touch Pro, but I'm sure my TP had more Program Memory available than the TD2 has.
It tends to run at 77% of Memory used, whereas the TP ran at around 48%. Maybe TF3D2 takes up more RAM.
Any comments?
I agree as well...I am not sure what is going on here??
I got mine in today and it says 288MB Ram. and all day it's been at about %5o memory usage or below. Been messing around with it alot.
where does it say 288MB? could you post a screen shot please?
mine is reporting 183mb as well shouldnt it be 288? also the storage says 299mb mind you this is just via the task manager so might not be showing it all?
mine says
Storage total = 298
Program total = 183

Give me till this afternoon.... It is almost 9am here... I need to find an app for takin a screen shot and post it up when I can.
If you're referring to Device Information then mine shows 288 etc... but in Taskmanager memory its 183.
I see what you are saying. Could it be that that is what is left after Windows is installed on the phone? Kinda like when you buy a mp3 player or HD or SD Card..... it may say 16GB but it actually is 15.68GB. (Just exaple not accurate numbers)

Ah thank you for the shots, I only looked at the middle and the right location.
Sorry for this.
Low Program Memory
Does anybody has a clue why TD2 has so litle free program mem? After a whole day use I end up having 20-30 MB of free memory. I'm afraid that this will cause problems in the future if I install some more applications.
Today I have 4 application installed and all are placed on storage card.
After Reboot free program memory is 95MB av a total of 183MB. That means that 88MB is allocated upon startup. What is allocating so much memory.
I had a touch HD and allmost never went below 70MB of free program memory.
is there a memory leak somewhere ????
Strange?
Even though I have so little of program memory left starting at 70% memory allocation, I could open all preinstalld applications without exiting (note, word, ppt, IE, Opera, Mail inbox, calc, etc..., etc...) + iGO8 and strangly memory allocation is still at 80%. I should not complain as it doesn't seem to distrupt me from what I want to do. It is maybe like vista caching dll's and thats is maybe why we feel that TD2 is much faster then Touch HD.
Hi Guys
Ive realized too a huge use of RAM during the day,
But seen that Opera is running the hole time (or it seems so).
coz the opera open Instantly, maybe a push internet function.
When i close opera with the x, it seems to close, but when u
click again it will open very fast, too fast for me
I think ist still running in Background.
Maybe it this our memory- eater?
Mastah
Memory - Opera
if you want to exit opera you need to choose exit from the opera menu. otherwise it will run in the background.

thx
but ive seen that doesent change the free Ram avaiable...
Opera does run in the background even when you exit it, its even running right after a softreset. If you want to check for yourself open the windows task manager (taskmgr located in the windows folder) not the HTC one and view the processes list. Opera runs as a background process which is why it loads so fast and updates the push internet pages.

Thx thats what i doubt..
hello,
did anyone found why htc taskmanager only shows 183.73 program memory?
i cheked on a htc touch pro that has the same amount as td2 288 and the taskmanager there reports 200.57 program memory.

Yeah very snappy and all but you don't fool us HTC. If Opera IS running in the background, why not have it in the HTC taskmanager? I've been trying to find a registry entry that provides for the hiding of the Opera process but haven't had no luck so far. Will get back to you if I find it.
Guys, don't worry about how much free memory you have. Memory that is free is not being used and is therefore wasted. Ideally at any given time the OS should be using as much memory as it can to speed things up. Windows Mobile has a system (as does Symbian and I suspect other mobile OS), whereby if memory is low when a process requests it, it will tell other processes to shut down (well, first it tells them to reduce their memory footprint, then to shutdown if that doesn't work). If you have 20mb free it's because lots of programs are running. The fact that they're running allows them to be switched to very fast. If you start another program that for some reason requests 30mb, Windows Mobile will free the memory for it by shutting other processes down, especially ones it knows haven't been used in a while. 'Proper' applications will be written to not have volatile state held in memory and will be able to shutdown and then start up again minutes later as if they'd never been away.
