Hi,
The memory management that you are viewing has to do with the way that
virtual memory is allocated in Windows CE. This is normal. See
http://www.cewindows.net/faqs/ram.htm for details on how ram is used in the
Pocket PC.

Sorry, I did mean soft reset. But I regularly go into start | settings |
memory | running applications to close unused apps, and my available memory
still shrinks to nothing after a week or two. Is this normal? I don't like
to do regular soft resets, because I read somewhere that PPC2003 has a bug
where each soft reset takes successively longer to perform. If I close
running programs regularly, shouldn't my available memory stay around the
same level?

Thanks again,
Dean

When you say Hard Reset, do you really mean hard reset?? a hard reset
restores the PPC back to factory condition and you have to re-install all
your apps and data. Generally a hard reset is done only to correct very
severe problems (I've had my Ipaq almost 2 years and only hard reset twice)
A soft reset on the other hand is simply a "reboot" of the machine. Just
like your desktop, a good re-boot occasionally is generally a good thing to
"clean out the cobwebs". a soft reset is generally done by simply pushing
the reset button on the back (or side or bottom- depending on unit). it
will not erase any apps or data. Your pocket PC does not really close apps
when you press the close button, it simply hides them, and automatically
closes unused apps as memory is required. there are several third party
apps that will actually allow you to control when and how applications are
closed (wisbar, gigabar, batterybar to name a few) as well as you can
manually close programs by going in to start | settings | memory| running
applications.

Hello,

I'm new to this, so I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems
like one of the programs on my SX56 has a memory leak. After a hard reset,
the available memory for programs shrinks (over a course of about a week or
two) from 8 or 9 MB down to 1 or 2 MB, and finally down so low that I have
to do another hard reset to get anything to run. I have a Siemens SX56, with
PPC2003 (Phone Edition), and I only have 3 apps installed:

MS Pocket Money
MS Pocket Streets
MS Voice Command

I'm pretty sure I have the most recent version of each of these. Has anyone
heard of any of these programs having memory leak problems? Or is this just
the nature of PPCs with only 32MB of RAM?

Thanks for any help,
Dean
