My Dash suffers from serious memory leaks. Just looked at task manager (because no apps would run due to low memory) and it has just 200kb available.

I have no apps installed on the device itself.

Shutting down all programs returns just 500kb.

If I reboot the phone I get 21,000kb available, but give it time and it will all have leaked away again.

I've had many different WM smartphones and they have never done this.

A great product with buggy software :(
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Odd... this isn't an issue on my WM6 Dash...
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Strange. Others are saying the same thing http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=255238&hl=memory (toward bottom of page).

I find that even if I quit all programs using task manager I am not returned to the same amount of memory as when I first boot up. Sometimes it can be as low as half or a quarter.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Guess I'm lucky. I disabled a couple things in the startup folder, MyFav and the voice recognition program, things became a lot zippier after that.
[HTC Excalibur] omaralt:
ya i have the same problem ( i de-activated myfaves and voice command) and when i boot up i have about 21K of free memory. a little while later i re-check my memory and its around 18K! towards end of day, even with all programs closed through task manager, i only have about 9K left. i dunno, its ridiculous. now i always turn it off for a few minutes at night, ha but then i run the risk of getting that endless boot up loop....
[HTC Excalibur] JAmerican:
I also have this problem. One of the reasons I don't like Windows Mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
I wonder if it is leaking from IE. My Temporary Internet Folder never gets higher than a few k. On WM5 this could be several megs in size.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Anyone else getting memory problem on the WM6 Dash?
[HTC Excalibur] Clymmer:
Use Oxios CloseApps...it helps a little

I'm fully resolved to the fact that it's just a combination of an OS that doesn't really manage memory well combined with applications that don't really clean up after themselves well either.

So, to make it through the day, I use Oxios CloseApps throughout the day. It seems to be the best at recouping memory. It's free (bonus!) and is very simple to use. You run it and it tells you how much memory it gained back and then you hit "ok" so it closes. Easy.

I'm also fully resolved that I have to reboot my Dash 1-3 times a day depending on how intensely I'm using it.

Welcome to the world of WinCE/PPC/Windows Mobile/Windows Mobile Smartphone/WM6!

Your home screen plugin can affect your memory usage as well.
[HTC Excalibur] maruichan:
I had the same problem with mine which actually led me to return it. It was actually for several reasons, but particularly I felt like I was sitting in front of an old 386 backtracking my steps making sure I don't run out of memory like in Windows 3.1.

For one, I couldn't install the software I wanted to install on it even after registry tweaks and unlocks. The memory leak got a lot worse once I upgraded to WM6. Most of the time after multi-tasking for a bit, my memory stayed around 10MB with ONE application running. If I surfed the internet for 5-10, it usually made the drain even worse by a couple more MB and I had to reboot.

What actually broke the camel's back was when I went to send an MMS to someone and the file was at 356K. No big deal, it gave me the option to resize. Yeah. The resize neverworked the way it was supposed to. It didn't matter how low I picked the options. I picked 160 X XXX with extremely low quality and it would come up with a message telling me "Your message is 356K so it cannot be sent." and plop me right out of the message and I would have to go dig for it on my card again! (Still couldn't resize it though)

I'm very good at managing memory and getting around bugs, but that was just a little too much for a cell phone. Don't get me wrong. I love the phone! I HATE the software/OS! Would've been the perfect phone had it not been for the leaks, even if I couldn't install the software I wanted to!
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
Wow. I'm not going mad!

They are exactly the same issues as I am having.
[HTC Excalibur] Pagemakers:
maruichan what was the problem like with WM5?
[HTC Excalibur] corfou:
Memory

I'm using Fizz Monitor to really shut down the applications.
[HTC Excalibur] baddison:
Does it help to stop the memory leaking??

Is it better than oxios?
[HTC Excalibur] stmcgill:
I don't even look at the free memory- my MDA Mail never slows down or crashes no matter how small the memory gets. I used to constantly check the memory on other devices but for Smartphone it does not seem to matter as much.

When you get a 'problem' with lack of memory it is a problem, otherwise just ignore it...
[AT&T LG G2] ItsGflow:
Hello, I am using an AT&T LG G2 (D800 of course) and after Rooting I'd like to install CM. I've installed custom ROMs before and usually have no trouble with them, but I can't seem to install TWRP on my phone.

I've installed AutoRec for my model from the playstore to install TWRP but it doesn't seem to work. According to the tutorial I just have to reboot after the process and then boot into recovery, however when I do so from an app I do not have a recovery installed, and when I try to do it via hardware booting it just goes to the factory reset screen. I understand that booting into recovery this way will always show this screen and that I'm supposed to just confirm everything, then it should boot into TWRP. However doing so simply resets my phone.

Anyone have this problem or some more specific steps in order to help me?
[AT&T LG G2] lucifercipher:
Take my advise. Do not install CM12. The speaker volume is too low and the shipped camera is the worst camera ever. I went to CM12 nightlies and reverted back to Stock G2 firmware. Plus, paid app Cygic GPS didnt work and few other crashes here and there. But anyways, if you still want to root then use LG One Click Root http://www.andromods.com/news-root/lg-g3-g-flex-2-g2-lollipop-one-click.html

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
My wife was gonna install the latest update (Lollipop) today and her phone was encrypted and so she decrypted it to prepare it for installation. At 85% the phone said that it failed and that she had to do a factory reset and so she did but now it seems the bootloader or something messed up. I've tried flashing it with Odin and with the PIT file but with no success. I could really use some help here buddies...

I attached some pictures of what I see when I try to flash it in Odin and what it looks like in recovery.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
You tried flashing the boot loader thru Odin am I right? Did you try flashing the whole Firmware thru Odin? Did you put the phone on Download mode? Remember to take the battery out then boot to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power button for about 3 seconds then let them go, phone will boot into Download mode, the connect your phone to pc, then Open Odin, make sure the Odin :COM is on light blue meaning they are both communicating, then go to www.sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your device model, and follow the instructions, it have to work, but your phone will be restored to factory, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
Hey there friend (thanks for replying),

I tried pretty much all of what you wrote and it just says failed. I have not tried to flash the bootloader thru Odin only the firmware that I got off of sammobile... I'm at a loss not sure what to do I've never seen this before.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
Are you sure you checked everything? try from a scratch, make sure you download the firmware for your device model, a lot of users get confuse with the bunch of letters after N910... also try a different Odin like 3.09, remember to check what I told you before in Odin, also if you wanna give a try, try flashing an old kitkat firmware, all we need is to boot your phone, good cheers:fingers-crossed:

If you think I helped you in anything please Press the Thanks Button, I will appreciate it too, Thanks:highfive:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
Same results "flash read error" not sure what's going on. Am still reading around on the Internet. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
Hey just to let u know I was reading too about ur problem, this is what I found, you gonna uninstall Samsung drivers from ur pc, under control panel, and reinstall them, or let windows search for the drivers it will install them too, after you do all that, try again flashing via Odin, remember to follow all the steps, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
Tried it. Thanks for your helps so far. I'm beat I've been at it all day. Gonna give it a go again tomorrow. Thanks again man.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slowik515:
It may be stupid question but did you flash 3 files ROM or just one file (PDA if I remember well)? If it was second option, then you shouldn't use PIT.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
Just one file via AP in Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yousef_Muslih:
Why don't you just download KIES and run recovery through that it is much more simple and reliable
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Juan123:
Kies doesn't register it... it just says connecting. I tried to kies 3 and 2.6 just to make sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yousef_Muslih:
It sounds like the issue is with your USB cable maybe try a different USB port preferred in the back of the system not one upfront. Make sure you have mock locations and USB debugging on. The only reason keys wouldn't detect your device is if the drivers are incorrect
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
There's a feature "Reactivation Lock" in security settings. Make sure it is unchecked. It is a security feature to prevent anyone from changing your system Rom.

[XDA Assist] Javarrus:
First I rooted my phone from http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733 and it was a successful root and recovery. Afterwards I went to the X-Note metal theme in the xdadevelopers forum and downloaded the file from there and added the zip file to my internal storage. After putting the file in internal storage I went to the TWRP recovery and installed/flashed the zipped file. Now when my phone turns on it goes to the Samsung galaxy Note 4 screen when loading and it has 'Set Warranty Bit: Kernel' at the top left. I tried going back in to fix it but setting the phone to factory reset but it's the same result. I tried re-installing the root using Odin but there are no changes. Can anyone assist me?
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The zip you flashed probably tripped the Knox warranty flag. When you boot into doenload mode do you see knox warranty void 0x1 or 0x0? If it's 0x1 knox is tripped and you can't re-set it.
[XDA Assist] Javarrus:
It says 0x1. Does that mean that there is nothing I can do?
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Yes, there is nothing you can do. There is an electronic fuse that is blown and it can not be reset.
[XDA Assist] Javarrus:
Thanks I'll definitely try that and give you some feedback.

You do realize the HTC customer service, like all large companies', isn't actually HTC? They outsource customer services.

She's working for a callcenter. The only requirements those have is to be able to type out a pre-made script. No technical knowledge required. You'd have more luck asking a cat how to root a doorknob.

I don't see anything funny about that. She clearly can't help you at all because you've told her she would be actively participating in unlocking your bootloader. She also tells you who to contact in order to help and in response you just belittle her. All I see is a latent bully.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Granopla:
Hello guys !

So today I rooted my phone with CF auto root, this working well !

I installed lucky patcher, and many others apps ! So well !

But tonight, accidentally I removed the 'storage' folder when I was trying to clear some useless folder.

After I did this I saw that I couldn't access to any nexus 5's files from my computer, because there are none.

So I tried to unroot this with SU, it worked well this is de-rooted, but I wanna know what can I do now ?

I'm getting afraid right now actually coz' I don't know what to do.

So, thanks for the help, just wanna get back to the rooted and unlocked phone but I think by deleting this folder I'll get many troubles.

Thanks by advance.

Cordially.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcharleyultra:
IMHO the best thing to do is wipe your phone, flash stock, and then root again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Granopla:
" wipe your phone" What do you mean ? Factory reset ?

Coz I just fastboot it actually and CF auto root again, and folders seems to be here again, not all, but I can see them through computer so it's good ? You don't think ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
First thing to do is get rid of lucky patcher. You don't need it for anything good. Just flash the factory image with fastboot.

I bought the freedom pop nexus 5 phone. I was able to receive and make calls with freedompop sim. but signal was weak in my work area so I contacted their customer care to get it unlocked. when they unlocked the phone I was able to receive calls with my ATT sim but cant make calls.

I factory reset the device. when I reboot it is displaying Freedompop home page and asking to activate their service. it is not going inside.

always showing message: " Activation required" - this device is ready for activation. please press the Activate button to continue or visit freedompop.

When I enter into reboot mode ( pressing power button + down volume) it shows device is unlocked but still Phone asks to activate using FReedompop homepage.

Please guide me what steps should i follow to use it with AT&T. I am a newbie here . any help would be highly appreciated :confused:
