My performance issues need a fix more then a junkie

[mynameisjordan]

So,
I'm using a jailbroken 8GB iPhone 2g and I'm having some performance issues. Something is quickly draining my memory.

I have a free memory app from the app store that I can watch the memory quickly being sucked away after I free it but I still don't know what's causing it.


Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix it &/or see what's causing it?

Sorry to hear about your performance issues....

What apps do you have installed? Do you have push set to manual? What firmware are you running?

[ianbroste]

The best thing you could do is restore the phone, update it, and then set up as new phone instead of restoring from backup. Lots of old settings and stuff can get brought along from firmware to firmware which are unnecessary and use memory and kill battery.

Soulthoughts,

I have firmware 3.1.2

AP Mobile are the only push
notifications I have on.

Here's what jailbreak stuff I currently have:

winterboard
cycorder
terminal
google voice mobile
make it mine
cydia
rock
********** (downloaded aircam)
dtunes (downloaded 2 songs)
lockdown (all off)
toggle ssh
yxflash
blackra1n
aircam
five column
five dock
leopard winterboard theme
Htc clock cal lockscreen
clock hide
cydget

A few more things that might help:
I added all sources / repos
through steffwiz

I noticed alot of language support packages I don't need and deleted some of them.

I began having problems after I installed SBSettings but I have since removed it.
(Not sure if they're even related)

When I noticed my memory draining really fast last night in my FreeMemory app I went ahead and wrote down all the processes that it said were running:

Report Crash (turned into ScHelper)
Mobile Mail
FreeMemory
apsd
notifyd
BTserver
commcenter
Springboard
accessoryd
configd
fairplayd
mDNSResponder
lockdownd
syslogd
launchd
kernel_task

Hey man you seem fairly new to this, but there are a bunch of things you can do to help with your memory or RAM. 1) remove safe launch daemons(search this site). 2) VM mods (but I don't suggest using one of those, they are dangerous and can and will kill your phone). 3) Is use the ReapeatMemoryFree script (which I am using now and my RAM hovers in the high 50's low 60's) ReapeatMemoryFree also has quitters for safari, mail, and ipod, which means upon closing them sbsettings quits them from running in the background therefore giving you more RAM. I strongly suggest ReapeatMemoryFree script. Also having alot of mobilesubstrate add-ons uses RAM. You should check out (on xsellize)the ReapeatMemoryFree script, I'll post a link but don't think they will let it work, actually I'll PM the link for you, you should read through some of the thread its pretty big though.

Is this repeatmemoryfree a cydia app? The link you sent doesn't work.

[Hazzard]

RepeatMemoryFree

You can get the .deb file here

Ok,
so I found repeat memory free on cydia. I installed it and it included sbsettings and a couple other things.

I don't see anything anywhere about repeat memory free.

I read somewhere that it was supposed to run automatically on 2g iPhone when I dropped below 10mb.

I would have stopped there except while I was researching where it goes after I install it I noticed my status bar memory display drop to 9mb then 8... Now is hovering right at 10/11mb.

Am I missing something?

[Hazzard]

Sorry,
Never actually used that app. Was just trying to help you find it.

[mynameisjordan]

Well thank you. I appreciate everyones help.

Maybe someone else can answer that??
