Thread: Memory disappearing

Anyone have a list of apps with memory leaks? I have installed uninstalled over and over to try to find the leaker and I'm at a loss.. Like one meg/hour. Been up 13 hours and I'm down 13 meg


Running v5 over .141

That's not too bad...depending on what you started with. Assuming you started in the 30 - 40's

In my experience each phone handles these apps differently That being said I will list the ones that I have used that caused it

Air traffic control
Weatherbug
Quickpull
Most themes
BB app world (for some this is a cause but I don't have any issues)
Viigo

Now the above are what has caused leaks for me

The new facebook is a memory and battery killer too

Yeah I boot at 43.... Its a shame it can't just run and run with out a reboot!

To add a few;

BerryWeather
MeterBerry
Vlingo
Quick Launch

all these apps run in the background even if you close them properly. Any app that monitors your mem status or batt status will run in the background
BerryWeather is a total mem hog
Vlingo depends on your set ups

These are just a few to add to the list

TalkLock
Visual Voicemal
VZ Navigator
Battery Booster (It supposed to increase battery life which is questionable at best but since it run in the background chomps away at memory)

This is in addition to those mentioned.above.

some others:
calls blocker
berry a code
wheater eye
any twitter apps but ubertwitter more than others

i have berrywheater now and i have no mems leaks asociated with it, I think it deppends on the settings you have

I also have berryweather and have no issues with it thank goodness since it cost a pretty penny.

berry weather on the bold is amazing, i use weather bug on strom still. i dont notice a whole lot of leaking from that though so idk

Weather bug was a hungry beast, as was first incarnation of Viigo.
I've now dropped Weather bug and Viigo, and noticed an increase of memory.

But with the replacement of Weather bug for Berry Weather, my memory stays the same (weird) as before it's install.:33:

Berryweather worked nice but I did have a bit of a memory leak with it. I found simple weather to work better with memory.

Running straight .132
agree with many of the apps listed as being a potential memory drain.
MeterBerry probably is not a major offender and removing it likely won't improve the situation much. I ran my device with MeterBerry being the only app "running in background". Here's the result.


EDIT:THANKS NEO for the attachment advice!

i dont think meterberry is the issue , i think its other things in the OS

it seems like with every OS its either battery life , or memory thayt sucks , i rather have a better battery cuzz i can always do pulls to get memory back

Don't know what I've done incorrectly or if it's a system issue.
Anyway, it was a screenshot showing 41.4 MB while I slept - over a 6 to 7 hour period...no apparent memory drain.

You aren't doing anything wrong...there is an issue with attachments.
hopefully resolved when we get on the new server.
