Symbian S60: Make some applications memory residen...

Now I know this is a simple question but I figure most people are pretty switched on in this forum so should be able to help me quite easily.
I have a Nokia 5500 sport with symbian S60 I believe running on it. Now the OS is horribly slow at loading the alarm clock and contacts, takes 6 seconds for the alarm and maybe 2-3 for the contacts.
If I open the alarms, then the main menu and click alarms again, it loads instantly. I imagine this is because I never pressed exit and it was still resident in memory. Now I do not run many apps, basically just the essential stuff like SMS, contacts, alarms and contacts, I imagine all of these apps would fit in memory at once quite easily, is there an option to force apps to stay resident? Or perhaps instead of having 'exit' change the button to be 'home' so that they stay running in the background?
I'm sure what I want to do is possible, I am just not sure how to do.
Thanks in advance.

There is no red button?
Also RAM is there to be used, I don't really see how it would slow the phone down providing there is enough RAM available to load all future apps.
When I manually add up contacts, sms etc it is well under the total available ram.
What does the red button normally do? Perhaps I can do it manually another way?

Mumble attenuation makes some applications quieter and quiter

Mumble has an attenuation option that makes other applications quieter while others are talking. I like this option, but I noticed that in some cases it ends up getting into a cycle of making things ridiculously quiet. I'm not sure exactly what applications it affects, but it definitely affects Chrome.
My guess is that it's caused by a combination of:
1. Mumble reducing all pulseaudio playback by 50% when someone talks
2. PulseAudio remembering individual application volume when you close/open them
3. Chrome starting/stopping new processes frequently for new tabs
So for example, someone starts talking so Mumble reduces all Chrome process volume by 50%. I close a tab while this is happening so PulseAudio remembers that the process was running at 50% volume. I reopen a tab and PulseAudio restores the 50% volume even though no one is talking. Someone starts talking again, so now that tab is set to 25% volume. If the same sequence happens again, it goes down further to 12% etc.
I have no idea how to solve this problem. Which program is to blame here? Mumble? PulseAudio?

I may have corrected the problem. It took several starts of iTunes, each time navigating to my podcasts and right clicking on 2-3 and unsubscribing from them before it went to 25%, became unresponsive, and required shut down from the task manager.
As soon as they were all unsub'd, iTunes went silent on CPU usage. The APSDaemon.exe shot up to 25%, but a reboot and a restart has everything quiet. I've accessed the store, played some songs, downloaded one. So far, so good.
I'll be back here to report any change.

Memory probs after Leopard--can't run some applications

I installed Leopard and am now having all kinds of memory problems. I'm unable to run some applications at all, and unable to perform some functions within ones that do run. Always getting a "not enough memory" message. I never had this problem with Tiger. I see other discussions about Leopard and memory issues, but am afraid they're above my technical knowledge. How do i find out if I really am short on memory now? Activity monitor Disk Usage shows 92 GB in use and only 1 GB space free. I don't have any huge graphics applications or anything. Opinions?
Thanks!

Hi Erica_D;
As everyone else has said you have your hard drive over full. You must start getting rid of some files on the hard drive. Two good applications for finding out where you are using the disk space are WhatSize and OmniDiskSweeper.
Once you get some free space, I would strongly recommend that you boot from the install media that came with your Mac and repair the disk. When you run your free disk space as low as you have it greatly increases the chances of file corruption. If you done repair this corruption it can lead to all kinds of strange problems in the future.

I get this "Memory full. Please close some applications and try again" error message when manually entering the "Help" menu on my E51 and browse the help entries.
If I choose the Help option from within an application, it opens without problem.
I have about 35 MB left on c: and 5.5 GB/8 GB on the e: so what could be the problem?
I also get this error in the Application manager sometimes. Do I have too many apps installed?
Message Edited by flodis79 on 29-May-2008 10:16 AM

I get this error message sometimes on my e65 when browsing. Just happened now and there is about 45MB of RAM free and with running applications taking just over 1MB.
What gives ? Getting the battery out is not exactly a solution to see the rest of the web page if you see what I mean :-)

App.Manager: Memory Full. Close some Applications ...

Hello Frens,
i got an Irritating issue. when i try to change
the SUITE SETTINGS for some Games in Settings - Installed apps. , i get the Issue "App.Manager: Memory Full. Close some Applications and Try Again."
I close all apps i have opened via JBAK Taskman and it shows free RAM as 51MB.
Still why i get the issue and i cant change via suite settings ?? any other way to change the Suite settings??

Which phone do you have. Assuming it not to be an S40 device.. you may try a Soft Reset by dialing *#7370# followed by the Security Code. Default code is 12345 unless changed by you. Be warned that the Reset will wipe all data from the phone memory so back-up before going for it. You will have to restore the data and MAY also have to re-install a few applications.

N900 Application memory

Can n900 users only use 2gb application memory to install applications? If the application memory gets full are they expected to buy an external SD card to install more applications?

seriously?! rguhrg..
What are the storage areas on the N900?
The N900 has three internal storage areas:
1) The OS: 256Meg (UBIFS)
This is the core operating system. It contains all the core system software that comes on the device when shipped. It is small and compact
2) EMMC MyDocs 27Gig (FAT32)
This area is a bulk storage for your own files. Maps, photos, music files, video clips, sound recordings. It is an area which contains files, not software.
3) EMMC Home: 2gig (EXT3)
This is an area for storing your data and applications. Your email, settings, SMS messages, preferences.. all the stuff that isn't held in a file
Why is it split?
Reason 1: USB Mass storage mode
The N900 has a 32gig big-old-lump of flash.. why can't you access it..
Like most other Nokia handsets it offers a "USB Mass Storage" mode that turns you N900 into a flash storage drive..
Lets think for a moment what is happening when we do this..
First, the Flash storage inside the N900 is disconnected from the operating system.
It is then attached to the USB port so the PC the phone is plugged into can see it and use it..
Whilst it is in mass storage mode, the phone itself cannot access the flash..
Now this is a critical point..
a) when connected to a PC in mass storage mode, the cannot share the flash
b) FAT32 does not support the ability for two computers ( the PC and phone ) to access the drive at the same time
c) This is a limitation of FAT32.. a format which must be used thanks to Microsoft.. it is terrible
Reason 2: Unix likes Unix filesystems
A Unix file system can do many more exciting things than FAT32 / Windows. One of the most important things is "symbolic links" This is where you have a file that actually is a redirect to another file!
Windows supports something similar (junctions/symbolic links I believe) but certainly not on FAT32
Unix file systems also have Unix permissions. This means files can be marked as executable (i.e. this file is a program file and can be run) as well as readonly / read-write. FAT32 does not support this.. Either everything is an executable or nothing is..
Unix filesystems support non-file files.. like sockets, pipes / fifos and devices. These are special file types that aren't even files! FAT32 doesn't support that..
To cut this short, Unix software needs to be installed on a Unix filesystem.. FAT32 is not a Unix file system.
Reason 3: What happens in USB mode to all my settings?
Going back to USB storage mode. When you connect your phone to your PC, what would happen if ALL of the 32gig storage was one filesystem (merged).. it would ALL be disconnected and attached to the PC.. So what would happen to your settings? your SMS inbox? Your calendar?
The phone would not be able to access them as the storage is now attached to the PC.. This would like installing microsoft office on the "E:\" on your PC, then pulling that hard disk OUT ... office and your files disappear until the drive is put back in..
Now, on a Symbian phone, (some) applications can be installed onto the flash storage.. but core components are held on the internal flash.. an area that is never larger than 512meg... In fact on the N8 the internal flash storage available is 135meg!!!!
(On phones like the N97 where the internal storage free is less than 40 megs, you can move your SMS messages onto the flash drive (the 32gig drive)... this is great..but the moment you connect in Mass storage mode to a PC, the message database gets split.. it moves back to the internal storage and you can't merge the two databases... nice move there! Data loss!)
At least on the n900 it is two gig
This is why it is split. So that even in Mass storage mode, your phone can continue to run all its apps and access all its internal data rather than killing off processes and freezing up
How can you merge the two area?
You can't.. It doesn't make sense to merge them.. See EVERYTHING above for why it is not possible without removing or breaking seriousl functionalitiy of the phone
How can you make the 2gig partition larger
Really? You want to install 2gigs worth of software on a phone?!
You have to resize the partitions and update the phone's configuration to allow you to do this.
There are threads detailing the complex process over at talk.maemo.org.. None of them are particularly easy to do but once done you can adjust the split
Here's a detailed how to:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=705391&postcount=188
If you don't understand what it is doing though.. you could end up wrecking your device (you'd need to reflash it to get it going again)

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total

New iMac27" OS 10.9.4 runs out of application memory

I have a brand new iMac 27" with 1TB Flash drive, 16GB RAM, i7 processor 3.5Ghz
Although I only migrated the data files from an older iMac running Lion OS, I installed only a few apps fresh on the systems:MS office 2011, Skype, Chrome, Teamviewer and Firefox.
It was running for several days with only Mail and Safari open.
Time Machine was on for backup.
Suddenly it gave an error that application memory was full and the computer needed to restart.
This is odd.

Application memory issue

Why is my iMac telling me that I'm out of application memory when I have 8GB of RAM installed?

"No enought room on startup disk for Application Memory" when using the Accelerate Framework

Dear colleagues,
I am running what I know is a large problem for a scientific application (tochnog) a finite element solver that runs from the Terminal. The application tries to solve 1,320,000 simultaneous linear equations. The problem starts when I use the Accelerate Framework as the Virtual Memory size jumps from 142 G to about 576 G after the library (LAPACK) is called to solve the system.It does not do it if I use a solver that does not calls LAPACK inside Accelerate.
The machine is a mac pro desktop with 8 GB of ram, the 2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel and the standard 640 GB hard drive. The system tells me that I have 487 GB available on hard drive.
The top instruction in Terminal reads VM 129G vsize when starting. When I run the finite element application once the LAPACK library in the Accelerate framework gets called, the Virtual Memory (VM) jumps to 563 G vsize.
After a short while, I get the "No enought room on startup disk for Application Memory error"
This is a screen capture of the application attempting to solve the problem using the LAPACK library inside the Accelerate framework: Here are the numbers as reported by the activity Monitor.
Tochnog Real Memory 6.68 GB
System Memory Free: 33.8 MB, Wired 378.8 MB, Active 5.06 GB, Inactive 2.53 GB, Used 7.96 GB.
VM size 567.52 GB, Page ins 270.8 MB, Page outs 108.2 MB, Swap used 505 MB
This is a screen copy of the same application solving the same problemwithout using the Accelerate framework.
Tochnog Real Memory 1.96 GB,
System Memory Free: 4.52 MB, Wired 382.1 MB, Active 2.69 GB, Inactive 416.2 GB, Used 3.47 GB.
VM size 148.60 GB, Page ins 288.8 MB, Page outs 108.2 MB, Swap used 2.5 MB
I can not understand the disparity in the behavior for the same case. As I said before, the only difference is the use of Accelerate in the first case. Also, as you can see, I thought that 8 GB of ram memory was a lot.
Your help will be greatly appreciated
Best regards,
F Lorenzo

The OP had posted this question in the iMac Intel forum.
I replied along similar lines, but suggested he repost this in the SL forum where I know there are usually several people who have a far better grasp of these issues than I.
I would be interested in getting their take on this.
Although, I think you are coming to the correct conclusion that there are not enough resources available for this process, I'm not certain that what you are saying on the way to that conclusion is correct. My understanding of VM is that it is the total theoretical demand on memory a process might make. It is not necessarily the actual or real world demand being made.
As such, this process is not actually demanding 568GB (rounded.) As evidence of that, you can see there is still memory available, albeit quite small, in the form of free memory of 33.8MB and inactive of 2.53GB (the GB for that figure, above, seems like it might be a typo, since for the process when not using Accelerate the reported figure for inactive was 416.2 GB -- surely impossible) and 7.96GB used. The process, itself, is using 6.68GB real memory.
In addition, I question whether the OP has misstated the 487GB free drive space. I think that might be the total drive capacity, not the free space.
My guess is that it is the combination of low available memory and low free drive space prompting this error.
From Dr. Smoke on VM:
it is possible that swap files could grow to the point where all free space on your disk is consumed by them. This can happen if you are very low on both RAM and free disk space.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/2232469?messageID=2232469&#2232469
This gets more to the actual intent of your question...
EDIT: Looks like some kind of glitch right now getting to the Dr. Smoke post.

Out of application memory

Been troubleshooting an iMac 27" Mid 2011 for friends with a design studio. The machine was running out of application memory in seconds despite having 12 GB ram and lots of free disk space. I've seen reports of similar problems with Mavericks setups. I have been an Apple dev since 1987 and have seen a lot, but this is the worst I've seen. I have been able to calm it down a little, but it is still not 100%. The machine in question qualified for a new logic board and video card update which was duly installed by Apple certified techs. It has spent hours running diagnostic checks. At one stage it refused to turn on, took it back to the repair shop. They plugged it in and it worked and more diagnostics revealed nothing untoward. So ok back to me.
Trying to work with machines in this state is difficult and I thought I'd share the steps I took to try to improve the situation.
Obviously normal Apple Diagnostic tests were not revealing the cause of the behaviour.
I searched for others with similar issues, and looked at the advice. BTW I found Linc Davis to be contributing his usual thoughtful experience to this and would recommend reading his take on this and other issues.
This behaviour reminded me of fixing virus infested machines. To keep the machine alive long enough to add Anti Virus software I set Terminal to start at login. Then I was able to run Top and observe the insane processes in real time. [Activity Monitor was a no go at this point] By killing the stuck processes it gave me enough time to download install Sophos, and work on the iMac. Sophos found some virus infected email attachments and dealt with them.
Backed up the machine
Reset the SMC
Reset the parameter ram
Started up from Mavericks Recovery DIsk and from there used Disk Utility to repair permissions and check the disc.
The machine was running Mavericks 10.9.2 and decided to reinstall Mavericks. You can go back to 10.9. I had previously saved Mountain Lion and Mavericks installs on an external drive. You can install over the net - but a much longer process and not for flaky machines. Amazingly the iMac was stable throughout the Mavericks reinstall and it was successful.
It's early days but the iMac is much better. The designers mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator, Apple Mail and Safari. They work with large images for print and need fast solid machines. Interestingly as a side note, the machine was solid for a few hours and I tried to fire up Photoshop to give it a real test. Photoshop needed to install a java runtime to function? Ok installed java runtime. Opened Photoshop. Worked for a little then Crash. Grey screen of death.
One step forward two steps back. Time to let the designers have a go again.They can make it crash good. Would recommend new MacPro's for them but Adobe hasn't got its act together to take advantage of the power available, so staying with iMacs for now.

How do i resolve an issue where i have run out of application memory?

My imac says i have run out of application memory and that i should quit applications. How do i resolve this issue?

The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Yosemite - says "not enough application memory - and closes all open applications

Since the day I installed Yosemite I have had problems. First, some other file was downloaded when I did the Yosemite install which crashed the computer. It had to go in for repair. Once that was remedied, I frequently get an error message "Not enough
application Memory and it starts automatically shutting down all of my programs. Normally, first to go is Mail, then Google (Safari would not work with Maverick - it would freeze) then Photoshop and whatever else is open. I did not have this problem with Maverick. This is a pain!
I am working on a 2009 Mac Pro with 24 MB Ram.
Any ideas about what is going on and how to remedy it. I would appreciate it. Thanks

When I open my iMac, I get this message - Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. ???????

When I open my iMac, I get the following message : Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. Then it says to quit applications not in usw and to close windows and remove files from startup disk. It lists Safari, email and Finder. I force a quit on all applications yet the same message comes up every time I open an application. What do I do to get rid of this once and for all? The computer is not even two years old and is only used for email and Safari. Help will be greatly appreciated,
