Available Memory after using app killer

What shaould my available memory be after using the app killer on the X?  I have seen it as low as 88m and spike all the way up to 228m?

Depending on the one you are using, Advance Task Killer has a option under the settings menu...

  • Free memory after using GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?

    Hello,
    Is it necessary to free memory after using function GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?
    Example 1:
    int main();
    char *strError=NULL;
    strError = GetRS232ErrorString(55); /* just an example for error message */
    free(strError ); /* Do I need to free this pointer? */
    Example 2:
    int main();
    MessagePopup ("Error", GetRS232ErrorString(55)); ; /* Will I get a memory leak with this function call? */
    BR
    Frank

    It's a pity that the documentation is indeed so poor in this case, but testing shows that it always returns the same pointer, no matter the error code, so it seems to be using an internal buffer and you are not supposed to free the string (but need to copy it before the next call to GetRS232ErrorString if you need to keep the text). It does however return a different pointer for every thread, so atl least it seems to be thread safe.

  • My iPhone 4S is becoming too hot on the back after using apps

    My phone 4s is becoming too hot on the back after using apps and browsing over the net

    Apple actually recommended that at least once a month What I've noticed in the iPhones and iPods that when you drain it to 0%, it saves some energy to display that connect to AC source. That's what you get when you turn on your phone or ipod even if it's 0%. That WILL destroy the battery but full cycling wouldn't.
    I tried it and it worked thanks but after a day it will be glitchy again :l

  • Excel remains in memory after using by DOI.

    Hi.
    I'm trying to use DOI but
    Excel instance remains in memory after I have run macro and leave program. If I don't run any macro - everything is Ok.
    I run macro by this way:
        CALL METHOD document->execute_macro
          EXPORTING
            macro_string = 'MyMacro'
            param_count  = 0
          IMPORTING
            error      = error.
    Before leaving the program I release DOI objects as in demo
        IF NOT documentproxy IS INITIAL.
          CALL METHOD documentproxy->close_document.
          CALL METHOD c_oi_errors=>show_message
            EXPORTING
              type = 'E'.
          FREE documentproxy.

    Hello, long time no see,
    but anyway, executing a macro prevents excel then to be closed over ole, as i've tried many ways to get it done, here is a work-around.
    it's frustating that I cannot use excel as Inplace there, because users could then easily USE or even UPLOAD their own excel-spreadsheets over the custom control with the use of ALV-Grid firstly, wich is really nice. Because of this 'bug', (i think it definitely is one, but don't know on wich side, MS or SAP) excel-spreadsheet functionality over ALV-Grid imho simply cannot be used fine with spreadsheets containing 'bigger' macros which where executed over ole - in eo_start_macro.
    For closing this issue, I just wanted to add how I could 'overcome' the sympthoms of this still remaining temp-files (+excel holding them open) when using excel + ole automation over SAPGUI:
    You could just NOT use excel "Inplace" on a custom control of a dynpro, but outside SAP, still OLE-driven.
    Start it in foreground guarantees you can close the temp-file with or without saving at a time and not surprisingly at the end on shutdown, because the controls of excel (and excel as a whole) are visible anytime - ole automation works also fine this way.
    This is the order of preparing excel and setting data into it i've done it, therefore i've created a single include for all the excel-ole stuff:
    (complete source could be looked up at http://pastebin.com/zmr6xdZm)
    1.eo_get_templ_uri
    2.eo_build_spreadsheet_interface - goes ahead with parameter inplace_enabled = SPACE
    3.eo_build_named_area
    4.eo_set_data_into_sheet
    5.eo_start_macro
    after the data is sent to excel (+ the macro on the spreadsheet has done it's job), excel is holding the filled temp file (spreadsheet) in foreground, so users can directly close it with- or without saving.
    *** using inplace_enabled = SPACE here, on Initializing the control
    CALL METHOD cl_control->init_control
       EXPORTING
         inplace_enabled          = ' '
         no_flush                 = 'X'
         INPLACE_SHOW_TOOLBARS    = insert_toolbar
         r3_application_name      = sy-cprog
         parent                   = cl_container
       IMPORTING
         error                    = error
       EXCEPTIONS
    *          javabeannotsupported     = 1  " ex. nicht im Minisap
         OTHERS                   = 2.
    *** and on Load document from BOR
         CALL METHOD cl_document->open_document
         EXPORTING
           "startup_macro    = 'DieseArbeitsmappe.start' "funkt nicht
           document_title = sy-cprog
           document_url   = doc_url
           no_flush       = 'X'

         IMPORTING
           retcode          = soiret

  • Memory increase using app-storage....

    Hi!
    I'm working on an application that stores pictures in a directory. I was using ApplicationDirectory, which I discovered is a bad practice.
    To access my pics, I used to use:
    baseDestinationDirPath = "app:/Images". My program uses about 17Mo of memory, runs fast, but will encounter security errors in the future.
    If I try to use ApplicationStorageDirectory (I copy files to applicationStorageDirectory):
    baseDestinationDirPath = "app-storage:/Images", memory cranks up to 323Mo !!! and the app runs verrrry slowly.
    What's the point???
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi Peter,
    and thanks for answering. I don't exactly understand what you call "memory share". Maybe I didn't explain my problem right. Let's be more precise:
    I've written this app using Air SDK and run it under Vista64. It uses some pics, and user can add some, kind of a gallery to make it simple.
    One of my classes accesses thes pics, and performs simple operations (resizing, thumbnail generation, basic treatment,...).
    Everything was OK until I decided to use App-storage instead of App directory.(At first, I wasn't aware of the security problems raised by writing ApplicationDirectory).
    When I just change one line of code (baseDestinationDirPath = "app:/Images" to baseDestinationDirPath = "app-storage:/Images", the app starts running very slow and memory usage changes from 17Mo to 323Mo! Same problem wether I use a profiler or install and run my app.
    I just tried to run both versions under Ubuntu 11.04: same memory problem (+ I get a security-error when trying to write to app-storage...). Under Linux I can't profile it, but my app is MUCH slower...
    I really don't understand why using app-storage instead of app can alter performance so dramatically! I guess it shouldn't... I 'm trying to use different profilers to try to understand the problem, but I'm not experienced enough.
    Thanks for your help!

  • IPod touch reports no available memory after only 160 songs

    I upgraded to version 2.0 (the backup feature failed) and starting moving songs from my library to my 8GB touch. After only 160 songs were copied over I got a message saying the iPod is out of available space, and after checking the unit itself it says there are 7.1GB Capacity but 0 bytes available. I have no movies, video, photos, or anything else on the unit so how could I be out of memory?!!!

    Hate to ask it, but is one of your songs REALLY big??
    Was there anything on your iPod before you did the upgrade? Maybe something is "trapped" on there?

  • Memory Leak, Deallocati​ng memory after using imaqImageT​oArray() function

    I have created a program (LW/CVI- Imaq Vision), which uses a timer callback to acquire an image, convert the image to an array using the imaqImageToArray() function, manipulates the data in the array, converts the data to an image, displays the image, and disposes of the image(imaqDispose()), and apparently the imaqImageToArray() function clears the allocation pointer, however does not deallocate the memory, such that the next time the function is called again, imaq allocates new memory, thus eventually the application slows down and freezes due to lack of memory. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello,
    You need to call the imaqDispose() for the assigned pointer to actually clear the allocated memory.
    iPointer = imaqImageToArray(imgInputImage,IMAQ_NO_RECT, &iCols, &iRows);
    imaqDispose (iPointer);
    Let me know if you have further questions regarding this.

  • JVM reserves additional memory after object creation

    Hi everybody,
    i have a problem with starting the JVM from inside a C++application. Starting the VM with JNI_CreateJavaVM works as aspected. When creating the first object it seems like the JVM reserves additional memory (outside the heap). Here is a little c++ test case:
    /* Compile/Link: cl -MT -Zi -EHsc -I%JAVA_HOME%\include jvmtest0.cxx user32.lib %JAVA_HOME%\lib\jvm.lib */
    #include "windows.h"
    #include <string>
    #include <jni.h>
    int availMem () {
         int i,j;
         void* v[2048];
         for (i=0;i<2048;i++) {
              if ((v=malloc(1024*1024))==0) break;
         for (j=0;j<i;j++) free(v[j]);
         return i;
    int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinst,HINSTANCE hprev,LPSTR cmd,int show)
         int i1=availMem();
         JavaVMInitArgs arg;
         JavaVMOption opt[1];
         arg.version=JNI_VERSION_1_2;
         arg.ignoreUnrecognized=JNI_TRUE;
         opt[0].optionString="-Xmx256m";
         arg.nOptions=1;
         arg.options=opt;
         JavaVM* vm;
         JNIEnv* en;
         if (JNI_CreateJavaVM(&vm,(void**)&en,&arg)<0) {
              MessageBox(NULL,"Error CreateJavaVM","jvm-Test",MB_OK);
              return (1);
         jclass clFrame=en->FindClass("Ljavax/swing/JFrame;");
         if (clFrame==0) {
              MessageBox(NULL,"Error FindClass","jvm-Test",MB_OK);
              return (1);
         jmethodID methodID=en->GetMethodID(clFrame,"<init>","(Ljava/lang/String;)V");
         if (methodID==0) {
              MessageBox(NULL,"Error GetMethodID","jvm-Test",MB_OK);
              return (1);
         int i2=availMem();
         jobject window=en->NewObject(clFrame,methodID,en->NewStringUTF("Test"));
         if (window==0) {
              MessageBox(NULL,"Error NewObject","jvm-Test",MB_OK);
              return (1);
         int i3=availMem();
         char o[256];
         sprintf_s(o,"Available memory:\nStart: %d MB\nAfter CreateJavaVM: %d MB\nAfter JFrame: %d MB",i1,i2,i3);
         MessageBox(NULL,o,"jvm-Test",MB_OK);
         return (0);
    I'am running on Windows XP with JDK 1.5.0_02 and get the following result:
    Start: 1906 MB
    After CreateJavaVM: 1558 MB
    After JFrame: 1312 MB
    I would expect that the available memory after constructing the Java object is similar to the available memory after creating the JVM. On Linux it is.
    Thanks

    a=null
    MyClass a = new MyClass();
    is the same as
    MyClass a = new MyClass();
    because after MyClass a = new MyClass(), doesn't point to a possible old instance but to a new instance of MyClass.
    I guess, the problem is in some other data structure you build. perhaps the vector that contains lots of/big other objects? does any other class point to these objects too? remember: the garbage collector does clean up only unused memory, i.e. objects that are not referenced by any other objects that are valid (i.e. are referenced by the main thread or objects of the main thread).

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
    And 193K results on Bing:

    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine. 

  • How to restore an app to recently used app bar after deleting it from bar?

    I frequently have to kill an app (GPS Drive) in order to get it to work properly alongside another app (HiDef Radio). Reason being: When I use the two apps at the same time, the HiDef Radio frequently renders the live voice guidance on GPS Drive inoperable. A customer support representative for GPS Drive advised me to kill GPS Drive, using the recently used apps bar, and re-open it when this happens. (The representative also said that they just submitted a new version of GPS Drive to Apple, which should hopefully fix this problem, but in the meantime, I'm stuck not being able to listen to the radio and use live voice guidance at the same time.)
    To kill GPS Drive, I followed the instructions in the iPhone 4.1 manual:
    "Remove an app from the recents list: Touch and hold the app icon until it begins to jiggle, then tap [the red minus]."
    The manual then states, "The app is added to recent apps again the next time you open it."
    Problem is, contrary to what the manual says, GPS Drive is not added to recent apps again the next time I open it. And since it's not added back to the recent apps bar, I can't kill it next time I have this conflict with HiDef Radio. So the problem remains.
    Is this—the fact that the app is not added to recent apps again the next time I open it—some sort of bug? (And, if so, is the bug Apple's, or GPS Drive's?) Or am I missing something? (And, if so, how do I make the app re-appear in the recently used apps bar after removing it from said bar?)
    If anyone is wondering how I know that removing an app from the recently used apps bar kills it, see this, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 :
    "If you experience issues with applications that use multitasking, try these steps to troubleshoot:
    "1. Check the App Store to verify the application supports multitasking. You can also check the developer's webpage.
    "2. Close the application and reopen it:
    " 1. Double-click the Home button to load recently used apps:
    " 2. Select the application by tapping and holding on the application until the red minus appears:
    " 3. Tap the red minus to quit the application. This also removes an application from recently used apps."
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I just discovered the answer to my question. Apparently, when you're in an app, that app does not appear in the recently used apps bar. This is logical in one sense: You can't switch to an app that you're already in. However, in another sense, it is illogical: In most operating systems, when you want to kill an app, you can kill the app without exiting the app (which is necessary in cases in which a freeze prevents you from exiting the app) by using a keystroke or directly entering a task manager. Given that the recently used apps bar serves two purposes—fast app switching and killing problematic apps—what makes sense for one purpose doesn't make sense for the other purpose. Anyway, the moral of the story is this: If you want to kill an app using iOS 4, you have to exit it first. Problem solved.

  • App Killer - still useful with Droid 2.2 OS update?

    I've been hearing mixed reviews on whether or not App Killer is a help or hindrance with the 2.2 OS.  Does anyone have some information on it?

    My personal opinion is not to use a task killer. Reason being it will kill your battery if automatically set to kill programs.
    What happens is TK will shut down programs and many of those programs will reopen, then again TK will kill the programs and the programs will reopen. It is an endless loop that drains a battery. Froyo does very well  with memory management if left alone to do its job.

  • Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
    But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
    Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

  • IPad available memory NOT consistent with available memory shown in iTunes and available memory reduced after a connected sync...doesn't make sense.

    I was looking through my pictures on iPhoto on my iPad 2 and noticed in some of my albums there were duplicate pictures, but on iPhoto on my iMac there wasn't. I had also noticed that my 64GB iPad 2 had only a little over 14GB left for available memory. I decided to connect my iPad2 to my iMac and sync it with itunes but this time I unchecked Sync Photos. I was asked to remove photos which I agreed to. My intnet was to re-install my photos in hopes that I would no longer see the duplicate photos and quite possibly free up some memory. In short, none of that worked and instead the pictures remained on my iPad2 and my available memory jumped to 956MB. I then tried selecting a " Selected Events, Faces, Albums..." in the Photo section of iTunes but I did not select any albums or events or faces. The sync ended and I still had all of the pictures on my iPad2 with 7GB left of available memory showing on my iPad2 but now showing 12GB on my iTunes on the iMac.
    I then tried to do a sync again, syncing all photos and the sync cancelled. I tried it again and it went through. This sync ended with 14GB of available memory showing on iTunes on my iMac, BUT on my iPad2 it showed 7.1GB.
    None of this makes any sense. I guess I could have left it alone and viewed duplicate photos but if duplicate photos were causing available memory to be reduced, I wanted the memory to come back up for future use.
    Also, I noticed that the amount of photos being synced has randomly changed on a couple of these occassions as if I had more or less photos to sync and I haven't. I'm not sure what would cause this either.
    Where it says "Other" in the memory bar in ITunes on my iMac is 26.34 GB. Before I did the first sync it was a little over 7GB. What would cause the "Other" to consume so much memory? and what is "Other" Why did it fluctuate so drastically when I've made no changes to my iPad?
    I hope I can get some help to this.
    Thanks!

    "Other" can be the cause of this storage capacity snafu that you have going on with your iPad. "Other" is pretty much what it sounds like it should be with regard to what is stored on your iPad. It is "stuff" associated with apps but not the apps themselves or any other media. It consists of Safari Bookmarks and history, Notes, text messages, email messages, contacts, photos associated with contacts and items of that nature. It should not be anywhere near 26 GB and the fact that you have much is a little bit of a problem.
    Sometimes the only way to rid your device of that bloated "other" is by restoring as a new device without using the backup. There could be something corrupt on your iPad and if you restore from a corrupted backup, you will just end up back where you started. Also, sometimes this issue is caused by syncing photos and while I don't know this for a fact, it might have something to do with the metadata associated with the photos that gets corrupted and then that might cause this "other" storage problem.
    Take a look at some of these and see if something in one of them helps.
