Main memory gradually reduces

[f]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The main memory on my hx4700 gradually reduces over time even though I
regularly stop tasks running when I am no longer using them.

Is this due to applications not releasing memory after they have quit? If
it is, how do I perusade them to release it automatically?

If not, what else could it be?

The only way I can get the memory back is to do a soft reset now and
then...

I've encountered similar issues. I would suggest trying WisBar Advance
2 or Spb Pocket Plus, both of which let you actually close (and not just
minimize/hide) programs:

http/www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/

Good luck!

I'll give them a try. Thanks.

Is memory still missing after a soft reset ?
If so then it's a problem with file storage, if not
then it's memory not being released when it should
be or simply memory fragmentation.

A soft reset returns all of the memory. Looks like a memory release problem
or temporary files/cache filling it up.

Hey,

This appears to be a problem with a large number of 4700's I know of at least 6 other people who have the same problem. I have heard that HP have acknowledged it as such but I can not find any evidence to back this up. Personally I am just hoping that it is fixed in a ROM upgrade, along with the other couple of bugs that are known about.

It's odd as there does seem to be t least two different models of the 4700 out there although there appears to be no way to tell them apart a prime example is the .net problem, where only certain units seem to be affected.

Best regards - Dave

Are you browsing the Internet with Pocket Internet Explorer?

Try tapping Tools and then tap the [DELETE FILES] button to clear the cache.

I agree.  Clearing IE's cache and temp files dramatically restores

Thanks for the confirmation.

Without wanting to sound ungrateful, I found your reply almost impossible
to read as it was in html and, like most, my newsgroup reader is set to
display in text only.

Most have text only? I'd doubt this- Outlook Express is the biggest user
base and it can handle html by default, as can most programs. You are in the
minority, not 'like most'. Most people don't change default settings.

Many have text only, as many text-only nntp clients handle many things
better than OE. Text-only is the conventionally accepted method of usenet
correspondence.

Probably "most people" would be much better shielded from malware and the
like if they disabled http in newsreaders

Check through the newsgroup postings you have received. I think you'll find
that 'most' are text only. It follows, then, that most people post text
only. It's accepted as the preferred method with far fewer security risks
than html. It's also more compact and has fewer bandwidth overheads.

It would seem that most people rise above your expectations.

Best is different to most. Perhaps most people would be better off with
something else, perhaps they are happy with what they are using so won't
change.

They are text because you can set OE to default to text. The standard is
rich text. Those that have changed will be because they have been bullied
into changing, or have decided to change. None of which changes the point.
Most users have Outlook Express, it defaults to rich text.

So most people do change default settings - they have set OE to text only
from the default of rich text.

'bullied'? An odd choice of word.

> Most users have Outlook Express, it defaults to

And so to post in html they must have changed it from the default. My
polite request was for posting in text rather than html as I found the html
almost impossible to read as text only.

Perhaps its best to play with the rules for the field you're playing on.
Usenet is, by convention, text only. Thus, if you expect your message to
be read correctly by everyone using this medium, you post in text. If you
don't care, post how you want, but it conveys something about the poster.

Yes, but there are no usenet police. People can choose to reply however they
wish.
You can also choose whether to read those posts or not. That is your choice.

Usenet is a community, like any other. There are guidelines of decorum,
and you look silly if you don't follow them. There's no law against
flatulation in a crowded elevator, yet you don't do it for some reason.
