Memory usege
 

Please be gentle with me......as mentioned in another thread I started (here) I have at times ended up in a “auto reboot” loop on my Nokia 770. In the most recent isnatnce and when the window of opportunity was there (i.e. it didn’t freeze or reboot first) the Control Panel -> Memory applet showed that Device memory in use was 80-100% even when no applications were running.

I’ve been reading this article to try and get my head a little more around things but must confess I’m still not sure if I’ve got my Flash, DRAM, Root and so on sorted out !

I wondering if my “Memory usage” is the norm and perhaps somebody could compare ?

With a standard OS2006 installation (I’ve just reflashed), only the System Monitor plugin installed together with no Wifi active and no MMC fitted are the figures below OK ?

SMP reports:

Root 50% - 123M, 62M free
MMC - not mounted
RAM 80% - 60M, 12M free

Control Panel -> memory reports:
Device = 11% Used
Storage Mem in use 7.84MB
Storage Mem available 59.7MB
Installed applications 184kb

Am I missing something in so much as the memory applet in control panel suggests 11% is being used when SMP says 80% ?

If I load my 2GB MMC card and enable 64MB of Virtual RAM the numbers appear to tally compared to the above, ie +64MB RAM.

Root 50% - 123M, 62M free
MMC 46%, 1921M, 1042M free (mainly has Mapper maps on)
RAM (+SWAP) 43% - 123M, 70M free

Control Panel -> memory reports the same as above other than (obviously !) having 64MB enabled under the Virtual tab.

Any help and insight much appreciated.

Best Regards

So on mine with mediastreamer 1.2-12 and system-monitor-plugin 1.2 installed, SMP gives
root 46% 123M-67M free
MMC 75% 60M-15M free
RAM(+SWAP) 61% 91M-35M free (I have 32MB swap enabled)

Control panel->Memory shows
Device 2% used /
Storage memory in use 1.44MB
Storage mem available 65.5MB
Installed apps 2.36MB

So I do not understand your "Device=11% used" when mine has 2% with more apps installed?
