I have tried the official software on my JASJAR "standard" the navigation software start but it give very often "out of memory" pop-up and exit. when the software start i have 24MB of Free memory. Other people have the same problem? With modded (128MB) version, all works fine?
PS
With the beta version of the software i dont have problems.

it happened to me too.
i disabled the menu effects,
lowered the quality,
and used a low draw distance of the 3d buildings, it helped. it almost mever happens now.
and for some reason, when it dies it stops when exactly 4MB are left in ram.
does anyone know how to disable this 4MB limit?
I think that it is big IGO8 programmers problem. Program has errors in memory management. Old Demo work better. Automapa5 had the same problem and now is OK. Wait for new version.
There's on the wild a "lite" version of this software that works fine on the JasJar. I will share with you the config file when at home.
I am using it and there is no issues at all with the European maps.
same story. I've got Apr, 15 version - falls down when breeze blowing.... And there were no problems with beta at all.
Looking forward to upgrade RAM...
Use a ROM which leaves enough RAM (NNCuong' S 2.11.11 functions well).
SoftReset your PPC before launching your GPS program .
On rather short way its functions well.
Best towards 128 Mo is a upgrade.
TomTom all the way ;-)

Same question. A year ago I talked to Dopod's service people in Malaysia. They said - no way, but as far as I know, lots of Uni's been upgraded all over the world. So, I'm waiting for trip home to do this
Question to 128M RAM devices owners: does Apr, 15 version works fine for you?
Hello,
On my HTC Universal (Xda Exec) + BT GPS H406 work iGO 8 fine. I have 64Mb Ram. With official Rom from T-Mobile UK (ROM 2.00.39, Radio 1.17). No problem with "out of memory". After SR have 31 Mb of Free memory.
In iGO8 have 3D Buildings, 3D terain, 6 maps, Phonename, POI, Speedcam.
I have build of iGO8 (8.0.0.31442 and 8.0.0.35389 - Mar 13 2008).
P.S. Sorry for my English.
With 64 Mb of RAM I had problems of "out of memory" in the large cities.
Out of the cities all was ok even on long way.
With the 128Mo of RAM, I saw that when I calculate long ways, it uses 70Mb of RAM
70MB? Oops... No wonder why I've got "out of memory" message

Hi all, I know about SKTools comes with "Free Up RAM" but I just want "Free Up RAM". SKTools seems to mess my device up (Dopod 818Pro).
Any ideas???
Thanks all!!

MemMaid and SpaceReclaimer both support WM5.0.
Hi Leek, Thanks for the info, however neither of these is what I'm looking for (or at least I think I'm not looking for them). SKTools has a "Free Up RAM" one button operation that literally kills RAM sucking dll's and such and can reclaim up to 2MB of RAM. I have MemMaid and like it a lot but unless someone can point in the right direction if MemMaid can do this I would certainly appreciate the help!!
Thanks!

Try this Smartphone Application, works wonders!
http://www.oxios.com/memory/
Valk Space Reclaimer is "one-button", in a sense -- you just have to run it, and it can stop all programs, free memory, etc.
MemMaid offers more options, more fine-tuning control, but is also more dangerous if you don't know what you're doing with it
Space Reclaimer is easier for novices to use, requires almost no setup, and it can be programmed to automatically exit after running. It can also be programmed to run automatically after soft reset.
I have no idea about the relative effectiveness of these programs. I know they both free up memory, because I've used them successfully, freeing up as much as 3 MB in one run.
I have not tried Oxios Memory, but it doesn't appear that it's been released for WM5 yet (there's an alpha version on the web page).
RE
Oxios Memory works fine on my QTEK 9000 (aka Universal) running WM5 :lol:
Oxios memory 1.40
New release of Oxios memory 1.40 - now states is PPC and WM5 compatible. Hibernate works well on my device and I have set it to start on wakeup using the notification queue method. However Closeapps has a bug where it sends windows media player into some sort of intro mode! So I only use hibernate.
most memory actually goes into caching windows fonts and last known state...
kinda like when u play text twist or bejewelled and u quit the app [ or so u thought ] and when u do open it again, it will still revert to the last known state...
such cache will take up memory
ie more apps opened and closed, more cache memory..
only way is to reboot the ppc.
Memmaid 1.72
It is only the new version of memmaid that comes with the "Reclaim RAM" program. It is a separate program that installs with the same CAB. I have run it several times, including when my memory had fallen by about 10MB in spite of the fact that nothing was currently running, and Reclaim RAM said there was no memory to be gained. A soft reset regained the 10MB. So my unscientific impression is that this program does nothing.
Soft resets, on the other hand, do a great job.
You are absolutely right. MemMaid 1.72 free up RAM does nothing on my I-Mate Jasjar no matter how low the program memory has gone.
Maybe they will release a bug fix.
Regards
I can confirm too on a MDA Vario MemMaid v1.72 Reclaim Memory does sweet FA! Zilch! Nothing! Useless non-working feature!
Well.... another confirmation....
I've tried oxios memory and memmaid's free up ram feature...
They both are almost same in the result, i.e. sometimes they free up upto 1.5 MB of space and sometimes, nothing.
Even when the memory drops to something like 50% of normal, with no programs running, still these programs don't do anything to warrant their install. Have given up using either as a soft reset works wonders.
P.S. I have a Tmobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and have just two days ago updated the ROM from tmobile website. Seems to work much better and has more RAM too (even with activesync running in background as it usually keeps doing).
Hi,
I'm able to run Tomtom 5.2 succesfully on my Qtek 8310, however it crashes out to the desktop very often.
I used to have a Qtek 2020 with Tomtom 3 and had the same problem until I changed the Sandisk SD card 1GB to a Transcend one (faster reading). Could this be the same problem ?
It puzzles me because the Sandisc mini-sd 1GB ran fine om my Motorola MPX 220 smartphone (Windows Mobile 4.2).
Anyone having the same problem ?
Yes, I'm having exactly the same problem and have so far been unable to come up with a fix.
I'm using an O2 XDA IQ with a Holux GPSlim236 BT GPS unit, version 5.2 of TomTom Mobile & a 1GB SanDisk mini SD.
Anyone have any pointers for us please?

Hello,
I managed to fix the problem by removing some programs from the phones' memory. I installed Clearvue OfficeSuite in the phones' memory and read somewhere in the forums that lack of memory could be a source of problems. I will do some more testing and keep you posted. Anyway I ordered a Transcend 80x 1GB miniSD at a local distributor (Belgium) for 31€, just to make sure.
Glad you got it sorted out!
When you say you removed some programs from the phone's memory, do you mean the Storage or Program memory?
At present all the progrms on mine have been installed to the storage card with the exception of a couple of very small utilities and ring tones.
Current memeory data is like this:
Storage memory: 17.95MB
Used: 16.83MB (pim.vol is 7.7MB of this)
Free: 1.06MB
Program Memory: 45.05MB
Used: 24.44MB
Free: 20.61MB
Could the low amount of available storage memory be the problem?
Do you have any other suggestions?
My program memory is about the same, but my storage is much higher, I have about 11MB free. I could be your problem.
Maybe following link could help you redirect your pim.vol (which is outlook I think) to your SD also and help you save storage memory.
www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=858861
I'll have another 30 min testdrive this evening from work to my house and see whether it crashes. I worked perfectly yesterday, after removing Clearvue.
Hope this helps you.
Sorry the thread explaining this is here :

12 MB still not enough?
I have exactly the same problem as described here on my QTEK 8300.
I tried several GPS receivers, and I upgraded my ROM (AKU2), but that didn't change anything.
Based on the previous postings I tried to free up some memory, so I ended up with:
free storage memory: 12.13 MB
free program memory: 22.46 MB
Unfortunately, the problem has not disappeared.
Apparently 12 MB free storage memory is still not enough.
Has anybody been able to identify how much free memory is enough to run Tom Tom Mobile 5.21 on a QTEK 8300?
Has anybody been able to run Tom Tom Mobile 5.21 successfully on a QTEK 8300/8310 at all? Or is that simply impossible?
SVL... you suggested that 11 MB of free memory should be enough.
Was your testdrive successful?
So far I have never been able to use Tom Tom for more than 10 minutes.....
Gerard
Hi,
been away for a few days sorry for the late reply.
To answer your question yes I've been able to use it for over 30 minutes during my testing. I will leave on holiday 31 july by car to France so I'll be able to do some more testing.
My problem got solved by deinstalling Clearvue Officesuite from main memory, using a more recent BENELUX - map and deselecting POI's.
So it could be one of these three or all three together which made it work, I don't know. I don't really need POI's but I will test it out when I receive my Transcend mini-SD card.
Good luck,
SVL
Hi all,
I've managed to solve the problem and have successfully used TomTom Mobile 5 on my O2 XDA IQ! I've tested it over a few journeys now and it operates without a hitch.
First of all, I upgraded my MiniSD to a high speed card but this made no difference. I then uninstalled a number of applications (including the Clearview Suite) to try and free up some more memory, with no success. Every time I tried to run TomTom it would crash after just a few seconds.
Next I did a cold reset on the device (Clear Storage) and installed just TomTom on the new high speed memory card and the problem persisted! I started to suspect some fundamental incompatibility with the device and after a little research stumbled across a registry hack which removed the Smartphone application locking. I tried it out on a hunch and presto! TomTom ran flawlessly!
So, here’s what I did in order to get TomTom Mobile 5 working on my O2 XDA IQ:
(i) Used “Checklock.exe” (found at Smartphone.net) to see if my Smartphone was application locked.
(ii) It was, so I used PHM RegEdit, to remove the XDA IQ application locking by making the following registry changes:
(a) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
> Change the value data from “2” to “1”
(b) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
> Change the value data from “16” to “40”
(c) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128
> Change the value data from “128” to “144”
(d) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
> Add new Dword value: "0000101b" Dword = “1”
(iii) Rebooted XDA IQ.
(iv) Used "Checklock.exe" again to check that the phone was not locked any more.
(v) Inserted my TomTom MiniSD card, TomTom automatically installed OK.
(vi) Made sure I had the “Currentmap.dat” file in the “\My Documents\TomTom” directory of the device and not the storage card.
(vii) Bonded my Holux GPSlim236 Bluetooth GPS receiver with my XDA IQ. During this process I changed the name of the device from the default to “GPS” (apparently the last three characters of the device name must be "GPS" for TomTom to recognise it) and assigned Outbound COM port 6 to it.
(vii) Made sure that the phone was switched on when running TomTom (it doesn’t appear to work if the phone is turned off).
(ix) Used it to navigate to the office and back.
(x) Held a party to celebrate!
Can't believe it was that hard, it almost seems like it's been designed not to work!
Anyway, hope this is useful to you all, please feedback your findings!

POIs and Tomtom do not go together in a QTEk 8300.....
After the last post from SVL I realized that I had selected some POI's.
I tried to deselect POIs, but TomTom crashed eveytime before I could exit the proram myself, so my changes were not saved...
Finally I restarted my smartphone by shortly disconnecting the battery, and I managed to deselect the POIs and exit TomTom myself.
Result: .... Today I was able to successfully use TomTom Mobile on my QTEK 8300 for more than 40 minutes. That's promising!
It means that I do not need the registry tweaks, and that 11 MB of free storage memory seems to be enough to run TomTom Mobile on a QTEK 8300, as long as you don't use the POIs.
I still wonder what is the reason that using the POIs makes TomTom instable on a QTEK 8300. Has anybody ever used TomTom Mobile including selected POis successfully on a QTEK 8300?
I will keep testing TomTom mobile on my QTEK 8300 in the coming weeks.
Would a faster memorycard solve the issue with POIs?
I'm using a standard Kindston Mini SD card of 1 GB at this moment...
Gerard
Hi all...I had a magician with the same problem....there were lots of forum comments on it but the best solution people came up with was to remove all the POI's from being viewed on the screen.
You can still navigate to a POI but not have them on the display.
This seemed to fix mine (and a couple of my mates problems) so assume it's same for SP5
Cheers
QTEK 8300 and Tom Tom Mobile
I have now used TomTom on my QTEK 8300 for a couple of hours.
As long as I do not show the POIs it is perfectly stable.
As soon as I want to see POIs the system crashes (maximum time before crash was 7 minutes, but most of the times it crashes immediately).
Memory does not seem to have an impact. The system worked perfectly with only 7 MB of free storage memory, and 13 MB of free program memory.
so... the conclusion is simple.... the POIs are causing the problem.
Now the interesting question is: what can I do to make the system stable even with the POIs ?
Or is that simply impossible?
had same problem with xda2i found this fix
it could possibly work for yours

PHM Reg Edit says 'Access Denied'! Help!
I am trying to change the registry settings on my XDA IQ to remove the application locking so things like Tom Tom can run freely as suggested by SVL/scallywagger but when I use PHM Reg Edit it simply states 'access denied' when I try to change a registry value.
Can anybody help me with this please? I am currently TomTom less and getting lost regularly!
I managed to solve this problem by copying the "TomTom" Directory containing the exe and all dll's to "program files/TomTom" on the phone's internal memory (keeping the map files on the storage card).
I assume that it can access the files faster of the internal memory and thats why its not crashing anymore.
Although my 1gig card is meant to be fast (Sandisk UltraII mini)! im just glad its working and Im not getting lost or having to reboot mid-journey.
At ST16:
Try this link for accessing the registry. It worked on my 8310:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240179
Self signed root cert.
Only slightly related but I was able to use Scallywagger's registry hack to app unlock my IQ. This then enabled me to install a self signed certficate for our email server thus allowing push email!
I spent 1 hour on the phone to O2 trying to sort this!
Thanks again Scallywagger!
tomtom install
copy tomtom to the mcard then put mcard in the phone then start the cab files from the phone had to do this xda mini hope this might help
Hi,
I was using Nothrills Rom 6.1 in French.
No problem at all with it or so small problem...
I've tried the new official one.
I've reverted back to original SPL.
Since then, when I go to settings memory,
I'm surprised to see only 114 Mo for storage and 84 Mo for usable ram.
As far as I know, Kaiser had 256 Mo of storage and 128 Mo of ram !
these numbers is the total available memory after a hard reset !
Where is my memory ?
I've read the wiki and didn't find this anywhere.
Help please.
Thanks

THere is 256mb of RAM yes, but there is also a OS running on your phone right! Look at it this way, when you buy a new computer with a harddrive though it might come with a 200gb hard drive, if you look at the C drive it might say 175 mb free. This is because of the software and OS on the hard drive. Same thing with phones
Now about the memory, the reason the memory changes is due to the software, and settings in the ROM. If there is a PagePool it could take anywhere from 2mb to 32mb of space. Also depending on what is on the phone it will use memory, even if you did hard reset.
Hope this helps, but trust me...install some programs and you'll see the Memory size go down. Anywhere above 20 mb is fine, actually any number is fine as long as the rom is running
hey, i'm running wm6 on my uni and get around 22mb on boot. I'm sure others would be getting as much or even less if they're running 6.1 or 6.5
i mostly use Palringo and ANB viewer together (as opera mobile won't work and i need tabbed browser) and the ram level drops to as low as 2mb if i even open total commander or picture viewer.
this is painful as i would love to use my uni for videos / audio but that is virtually impossible with all the above apps.
Now, since the total memory shows 48.90 mb, i was thinking is there a way to 'reduce' the mem used by the baseband? if we can somehow increase the available ram to 30+, it would be very helpful.
today's softwares demand more ram and with devices now coming with 256mb or even 500+ram, this classic is quickly going under the sand...
I use my uni only for data so I for one won't mind it if the phone features are compromised for memory.
hoping for some good comments and ideas...
There are ROMs that will offer 30Mb or so on boot, just look around and find one. I think that having your RAM so drastically reduced by running next to nothing is caused by leak in the ROM you are using or programs running on the background that you are unaware of. I have a 64Mb Uni and could use Opera with pretty much any ROM and can't say I ever had the problem of running out of memory to the point of being unable to run programs or videos or music, basically what you describe is rendering your device practically useless. WM6.5 is resources hungry and I would not recommend it for a 64Mb device, but with 6.1 things should be running fine. So get a proper WM6.1, drop Palringo and ANB viewer and get Opera for tabbed browsing.
Another suggestion would be to upgrade your RAM to 128Mb.
Flash with another rom I can suggest you VnInt WM6.1 rom, after - install SKTools and optimize for more memory, look at the startup folder and delete all unwanted programs, remove most items of the today screen. I have 29 mb after restart and after 2-3-4 days of using the ram drops only to 22-24 mb

Yes true most of the software today needs lots of ram and with devices with 256mb ram it's usual... and the highest ram i guess is in HTC LEO with 448mb...
Well if you use your phone only for data then you can try some vanilla roms... namely thingsonaspring's v1.1 ( around 30mb in boot wm 6.1) or even tomals vanilla roms (around 27~28mb on boot wm 6.1)... mine works fine with opera and total commander... so try to flash another rom...
i'm using wm65 without chome and titanium (HTC_UNIVERSAL-luca16thebig__WM6.5_v2.0.5_64mb_version_light___5.2.23016___build_23016)
still has around 27mb free ram and more then enough to runing palringo, mini opera, and others program at the same time.
Hello guys
I already used the search and looked around on the internet using google and ecosia... but it didn't help me... everytime i am looking for the answer to my question: "HTC says that the touch pro has got 288 MB of ram but there are only displayed 193 MB and my free memory is about 65 MB (used 128MB)" i only find some roms that say that they have a lower pagepool... but that does not help me in finding a solution to my problem that i can't access the complete ram...
is there any workaround for this issue? a classmate found a rom for his touch hd2 which solved the same problem as mine but on his hd 2... now i ask you for a solution on the touch pro.. please help me ^^
i think you didnt think about the fact that the OS needs ram too ... but you can try ROMs without manila that spare ram; which ROM do you actually have?
I'm using the latest energy rom, its all fast and very smooth animations.. really great :]
but no i think you didn't understand me... the hardware ram is 288MB according to HTC. The memory manager shows me that there is in total only 193 MB available. 128 MB of these 193 MB are used... the rest is unsused memory... now what is about the rest of the 288 MB ?
the osram usage is included in the 128MB if you trust the task manager ^^
so what is my phones problem? are there maybe some limitations that can be solved with some registry changes? on windows vor PCs you can disable some parts of the ram that they are not used... can this be a possible problem on my phone? when I was using the O2 branded original rom there were 212 MB usable 80MB used and 132MB free... i really can't imagine why ._.
ok, i see, but what about the memory that is needed to store the files that will be used restore the files after you do a hardreset?
Do you know nue storage manager? Try it and look, how much drives you have installed in your memory... which you dont have in normal use
do you know the difference between ram and rom? operating systems are always installed on roms and the ram looses its data during a hard reset.

Yes, hardware RAM is 288 MB. In your case (with Energy ROM) 95 MB of RAM is used by the OS itself, so you have only 193 MB RAM available. You should know that the rest (in your case 193 MB) depends on the ROM cooker. Energy ROMs are known for not being RAM friendly, actually NRGZ28 stated once that he doesn't care for free RAM. That is the reason you have only 65 MB of free RAM. For example I'm using CRACING ROM and I have about 110 MB of free RAM after reboot, if Sense 2.1 is enabled. If I disable it, I have about 130 MB left. When I was using offical HTC ROM, I had more than 150 MB of RAM - that is with all today plugins (TF3D for example) turned off. Of course, if I disable HTC dialer (that has a video dialer and other options) and switch to ordinary WM dialer, I can free even more RAM. Pagepool is also very important - it is a special area of memory reserved for loading apps into from ROM. I think that the default pagepool is for Raphael 12 MB (that means 12 MB less RAM), but most of the cooks sets pagepool to 20 MB or more - that means 20+ MB of RAM used for faster loading of apps. That is why your phone is so fast with Energy ROM - it has a veeery large pagepool, but you have very little free RAM because of that.
So, to make things simpler, most of the RAM is used by the OS, GPU, TF3D/Sense/Titanium/SPB Mobile Shell/some other UI app, pagepool, dialer, other background services/processes etc. So you just have to decide what ROM to use - there are some ROMs (like yours current) that are very bad for RAM, but there are others with 120 MB+ or even 150+. You can also cook your own ROM and maybe gain 180 or more free RAM.

Great comment! Don't forget that the Radio will also use up some memory and especially with the HD2 there seems to be a Radio (original t-mobile) which uses almost 12 MB less than others.
However, what is your problem? You are concerned about battery life (keeping all that RAM happy and addressed) or you have a specific application which wont run. I didn't check the latest NRG ROMs but he ran pagepools up to 26 MB. It's one of the first things I check with a tool called pagepool changer. I adjust mine to 16 meg which is/was supposed to be the sweet spot for the Raphael/TouchPro and never had any problems, speed or memory issues.

If the question is adressed to me, and not OP, I need at least 90-100 MB of free RAM because I heavily multitask. That is the main reason for being WinMo user. Besides, ROMs with low RAM are usually battery hungry.

My answer was addressed to both. I also multitask though mainly Word, Excel and chat and as long as I don't open iGO all is running well (and you don't multitask while driving anyway ).
Let me check how much free RAM I have. ROM is in my sig, modified the PP from 26 MB (NRG's default) to 18 MB, Manila 2.5 with added Program Tab and Max Manila 2.7SE fullscreen on top. As you see I run the xperia X2 task manager because I too like to know what's left in RAM.
The screenshot is after ~ 4 days after the last boot "active sync'd"

Well, I do multitask while driving. For example, iGo is running along with browser. When I need informations about traffic on main intersections (from the video cameras in my city), I open the link for that particular intersection via browser and then Streaming Media plays that clip. In the meantime iGo is running in the background of course. Lot of RAM is required for these tasks. And what if someone calls me - the dialer is also RAM hungry... Besides, often I use GPS whilst walking. This is just an example - like I said, I'm a heavy multitasker.
humm okaaay... but on my older eten glofiish x650 with only 64MB of ram I had about 24MB of free ram though windows mobile 6.5 (only tried it out ) so windows mobile can be 40MB small... and although it seems to run very well...
humm what do you mean with radio? the music radio or something like gsm radio module for windows mobile? (sry 4 my comprehension issues but i'm from germany ^^)
talking about the radio rom, which can be updated / changed like the OS and make it possible to get better phone reception or gps or ...

I really think that you should read XDA Wiki, as much as humanly possible, in order to understand basic things about WinMo. Cheers, mate.
