IGO 8

I have installed in wm6.1 IGO 8, but when running the application gives me an error, lack memory. I have done a hard reset and I have installed new application with the same result.
Error
Out of memory.
Requested: 19200
Cache: 525940
Someone with the same problem?
Any comment on that?
Thanks in advance.

same problem
hi i had the same problem here and i resolved it installing a wm5 wwe rom that gives me 26mb free ram even if sometime the problem appears again

Thank you for your reply.

The 64mb Uni is unfortunately not up to it when running IGo8.
With about 24mb of free ram it won't even start due to memory shortage. With 26mb and all terrain and buildings switched off it runs on Jwrightmcps Wm6 , but after about 10 mins it starts freezing.
I'll stick to TomTom, and only use the IGo when needed due to the newer maps.

I have a hp h5450 winth wm2003 too and in this machine IGO 8 work ok.

Do you use TTS? If you do, change to non-TTS. That does the trick for me.
I use Canada maps though so there's no 3D buildings to worry about, even though I have all those options enabled. May need more memory if there's 3D buildings on the map I suppose.
At first, some people suggested to have at least 27MB of RAM and I didn't have that much so I thought that's the problem. After playing around with a few other ROMs that give me at least 27MB before running it, still no go. I was about to give up but then I decide to go with non-TTS and see what happens. It worked. I had roughly 24 MB when I tested it. 30Km distance. Simulate mode.
With TTS, didn't get very far and that error popped up.

I have iGO8 running on my Qtek which has a vanilla WM6 Rom on it from
Mo3ulla.
Before I start iGO i have normally 26,5mb of free prog mem and while running the app I O/C my cpu.
Well, iGO runs ok, I have the 3D building/TTS deactivated. The only problem I have it that sometime after 30-45 min my 3D map dissapears. It starts that I miss parts of my map and it ends with an "empthy" map. I do keep my 2D map, the blue pointer and the route guidance...A restart of iGO brings back my 3D map!
I asked Nav N Go support desk of advice just to be told that my device is currently not supported and that he did not known why I whas loosing my 3D map. Whether he whas clueless or could not be asked I dont know...
fact is they are NO help!
From other forums I found out that iGO8 normally takes up to 36mb free prog mem, but that it is normally happy with 24-26mb and that it leave always 4mb for other applications.
Well, I have decided to upgrade my Qtek to 128mb Ram, I have invested in a navigation program capable of showing 3D terrain/buildings and I end up switching this mode off...
Ciao!

IGO8 is beautiful precisely for the 3D texture.
I will have to upgrade my uni to 128MB, but I don´t know where it do in Spain.
Greetings and thanks for your reply.

rDosti V.11 (WM6.1)-Vanila ROM-+37.80MB Free RAM / "80MB" Storage/disk
igo runs with this Rome ?

Please read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405137
It may be helpful regarding memory full / maps 'disappearing' problems.

About iGo working with Rdosti v.11, I received answer in ROM's thread: there are problems with BT, losing connection after little time.

Raphael is brutally closing programs!

Raphael is brutally closing programs!
I really dunno why is this happening... I have 50% of RAM free and it lets me run just 3-4 programs together. When I run one more... it occasionally selects one thats previously ran and kills it silently... I really wouldn't like to "Clear Storage" from settings

I also had this problem when I first got my TP. It's a simple fix - you need to disable AutoKill. With a registry editor, go to HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager, and change the value of “EnableAutoKill” to “0".

^ yes this a good fix. I remember I couldnt switch between opera and replying to a text message, I felt like I was back to a feature phone, with one thing at a time capability.
There is also a registry tweak that instead of killing apps you can change the threshold at which the system starts auto-killing, same registry path.

You guys are amazing! THANK YOU! BUT... I still have the problem
Any other ideas?

You can refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426585
In the section of "Tips", there is a tweak which solved the problem perfectly

Thank you. Tried that caches tweak, it made whole system run much faster. But still - i cannot seem to get 4 proggies to run at the same time. Always the first dies... flip flop

This thread is turning into a copy of few others around here. Only this is new and alive.
Please help me out.
I've tried:
1) The HTC Task Manager registry tweaks
2) The cache sizes maximizing
and...
3)?
Maybe the ugly 32MB/32Process limit (http://msmobiles.com/F/viewtopic.php?p=36334&highlight=&sid=c6b5982e059ec35ce19fd3cd952bd683) is still present in WinMo6.1?

Hello!
OMFG! After disabling autokill my TP started to act almost like desktop in case of multitasking
I was able to run around 12 programs at a time, but i've also made changes to memorytreshold, the value i set was 173015040 (1.5 times the default value).
The funny thing was that TP was still responsive to commands and even opera ran smoothly when surfing throu light web pages.
First app closed after memory usage peeked around 65%, but the rest was still responsive.
Hope this helps
BHole

Thats my point. Same limit like 65% because I have customized my device with launchers, hardkey remapper, Wktask etc. Now I can have (only) five apps running at a time... Is there a sort of free RAM threshold inside the WM6 or HTC-s stock (1.9) ROM. Maybe it is still the 32 process limit from the old times?

Hello!
It looks like there is some kind of limit to number of proceses or memory used by them but if you customized your pda maybe you should disable some of the oryginal programs that are runing in the background. I saw some registry entries in taks manager that hid some of the runing aps maybe not all of them are nesesery for you and can be disabled to lower proces count.
BHole

Yeah.. but I would like to USE the RAM the device has.... I'd like to run manymany programs so the RAM load would be for example 95%. Why is not that possible?

Auto Program Closing ?!

Hy,
I'm using my own cooked WM6.1 rom, but i noticed that the programs in background automatically closes in some minutes.
Example:
I'm using webcam plus in screen mode, works perfectly. I open an application on ppc, leaving the webcam plus running and sending the screen, but after some seconds (~5-10 secs), the screen freezes on the PC, and when i open task manager theres no Webcam plus. Same with other programs too.
can it be the wrong pagepool? i think i have set it to 8 mb
i have 45 mb total program memory, usually 15 free, and its hardly ever goes higher than 80% usage (because programs closes?)...
whats the problem, and how can i stop it?
thx

It really depends on the memory that that program you open needs. What is it that you're opening?

iPaint, im drawing some lines, and the webcam program closes. but i dont think i havent got enough memory, it must be at least 10 mb free when its happening..

Okay, I see. My mobile can run out of memory while 2 program runs. But are there any way to disable to close them? It's vry bad that i can't listen to music while sending an SMS or anything...

If you're running out of memory, there is nothing you can do but get more memory. Either bring the pagepool down to 4mb and gain an extra 4mb or find another way to increase your RAM.

Okay, thanks for your help.
I didnt want more ram, I just though when theres no enough ram, the program slows down, and the windows tryin to get some more ram from the system files (just like in windows vista), but its closes my applications not the system (eg gwes is always around ~7M or more..) :O
I've got my phone for a couple of months, and before this rom i remember I played age of empires 2, with windows media player in the background, it was laggy, but it worked and the music player didnt closed while playing...

Windows Mobile doesn't use a swap file like the real windows does. It doesn't slow down due to swap file usage, it just closes programs. What ROM were you using before? It probably had more free RAM.

I think it was the original HTC rom for herald.
I changed the pagepool to 6M (cause i read that 4m can slow it down), now its okay. Thanks for your help.

It also happens with my Hermes and Raphael..
It also happens with my Hermes and Raphael..
My Hermes (Dopod 838 pro) running official WM6 ROM
My Raphael (HTC Touch Pro) running stock WM6.1 ROM (Version 1.9)
It's a big problem, I can't keep my Twitter,downloader, and Messenger app to run at the background..
I have disabled the "auto kill" in HTC Task Manager with "Andvanced Config"..
I also have change the "memory thereshold" to 0 MB, then tried 1 MB, but the problem still there..

WM closes processes

Hi guys,
I have discovered a really big problem - Windows Mobile closes running processes. Wow, I've just discovered an America, didn't I?...
The fact is that I did some searchings and applied a few tweaks promising this effect will be gone. But it isn't, WM still keeps closing my processes even when I have over 100MB free RAM. Just 5 (sometimes 6 or 7) open programs, no more.
So where is the problem?
I have more than 100MB free RAM
I have only 27 total processes running
I did soft reset few minutes ago
I don't use any RAM cleaning software
I don't even use HTC Task Manager
Still if I open one more program, the first opened just closes
I'm really getting pissed off, I just sometimes need to run more programs in one time, but it doesn't let me. I open calendar, but contacts disappear. I open contacts, opera disappears. Why? Please help me.
I'm using the ROM in my sig.

Your problem is the limitations of WinCE 5, it can only use 32 process sloys, it will shutdown any new tasks after it gets to 32, i'm afraid its a limitation we have to live by but please, rewrite WM with no process limit my god would you get a lot of donations
Sorry

I know about the limit, that's why I wrote "I have only 27 total processes running" meaning "I have 27 processes and it doesn't let me open one more", so where are the 5 more missing?
EDIT: 23 processes when no app open. I can reach only 29 or something like that, but not 32.

Sorry, i miss understood
It must be a ROM fault, have you posted this in the thread, it may even be because it is a 6.1 ROM. i have no idea

Do you think it can be caused because I have changed the pagepool value in rom? I don't remember when these problems started, but I've changed the pagepool (from 9MB to 16MB, to increase speed and it really worked!) about month or two ago, so maybe that's the problem...

Igo 8 slow?

Hello
I am having this bad problem with Igo on my htc
It is so slow and i can not use search on streets becouse it is acting like i am pressing letter a all the time
why is Igo so slow,this is first time i have this problem,on other devices it works fine

you cant search because there's probably a compatibility bug between htc ezinput and igo8. you must install some other keyboard like spb keyboard or any other, then it wont bug, or install the newer iGo 8.5 which works and looks better
about z slow issue, i dont know but it works like a charm for me, you cant expect much from a 500 mhz processor if you loaded your phone with a gazzilion applications.. also feel free to delete maps and poi's for countries you dont visit often, or move the files to some other folder away from igo. having too much poi's can eat your memory and then you get the annoying low system memory message every few minutes.
hope you understood everythig
