MemMAid isn't working either - it went back to 12MB out of the 33MB 'available' on the 1950. :P The problem doesn't appear to be limited to WM5, at any rate.

You guys are great, was planning on a hard reset cause I was constantly running out of memory on my hx4700.

For interests sake these were my figures:

Before Clearing Cache
- Storage Memory Free: 2.71MB
- Program Memory Free: 6.07MB

Total Free Memory: 8.78MB

After Clearing Cache
- Storage Memory Free: 15.83MB
- Program Memory Free: 16.55MB

Total Free Memory: 32.38MB

Total Reclaimed Memory: 23.6MB!!! 8O

Bless you all!

After all I wrote about MemMaid earlier - I find I have the same issue: the cache size resets immediately back to 48M on my Xda2S / PDA2K. At least with MemMaid cleaning the thing regularly and an occasional deletion of the index.dat files, it should never actually get to 48M. Strange behaviour though.

P.S. "Haesslich" - if my (rather rusty) german serves me, that's a sad nickname. I'm sure it doesn't describe you at all - or are you being ironic?

I can confirm it "sticks" on the i730 - set to 2 MB.

This actually leads me to a small rant regarding MS's and OEM's handling of this though. This is a small portable device that in almost every incarnation has very limited memory resources. Yet, for some reason we see IE cache that is allowed to grow to more than 50% of installed RAM and fairly meaningless Index files grow to over 1MB of space. Without third party tools, or expert forums, a person who regularly uses his device for Internet access will eventually run out of RAM. No wonder there are people who claim WM is unstable and a memory hog. How do issues like this make it through Five Versions!! of a Handheld OS?

It seems where Memory is concerned, both MS and OEM's seem to think we have an unlimited supply of RAM on these devices and will never install a thing but preinstalled apps, some photos and MP3's. :evil:

Tried this hack on my imate JAM [WM2003SE] 3x and I still get the cache reset to 19594 [4C8A HEX] after a SR. oh well...

the hack worked just fine on my old hp 2215 with ppc 2003.
but no luck with my ppc 2003 se sx66.

It used to happen with my Windows Mobile 2003 devices, it happens with my Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Not after a soft reset, but after a day or two it reverts to its deault (which is different for each device).

Very annoying.
