I'm coming from a PPC-6600 so I had a little more memory back then...but with my 8125 just SITTING THERE, it takes 26 megs! With only 44 megs of program memory that is kinda ridiculous. It also makes Battery Bar go bananas because when i open one appI get 'memory low' warnings.

Does anyone know what is taking up so much RAM? I'd like to know what kinds of benefits I'm getting for that 26 megs.

Yes, but... are you actually running out of memory?? I've had lots of apps open without anything having to close. I have an MDA, which is the same as 8125, and it's miles ahead of the 6315 in the memory department although they have the same stated RAM.

Might try wisbar or magic button to make sure applications are closing down. I ran into this with memory warnings.

no, this thing obviously has a memory leak, and I blame WM5. After opening and closing apps over a course of a week, program memory is at 86% and thats with NOTHING running. Booting up from soft reset yields 47% program memory in use. Thats just ridiculous.

Why do we not have access to BIS on the Cingular 8125??

Um, there is no BIS on the 8125?

I have a memory leak, my storage goes from 20MB to 10 MB while I watch :) Just having less memory than you think it should wouldn't make me think memory leak right away.

Can you give us a list of apps you have installed?

Battery Bar and Journal Bar, everything else is what comes with the phone.

I notice thatafter using mem made that the majority of memory that was being cleaned was in the internet cache.

Why not try an SD card? I have a 2gb mini sd card and i install everything in it and keep all my files there mine runs at 20mb available at all times!!! I love this thing. It is way too much better that the Ipaq 6515 that i have in the past.
