Discussion: HTC S730 Memory Challenges

HTC S730 Memory Challenges I just received an S730 and it doesnt seem to have enough free memory to run properly? There is only 17mb abailable after a hard reboot and this seems to fill up very quickly and then the phone starts ggiving memory errors. I am very dissapointed in this device. Does anyone know of a ROM update coming to fix it, or do I need to return the device?
There is obviously a serious memory issue somewhere, and am quite surprised that HTC would release something in this condition.

2. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges Yes, the memory issue is really bad, especially if you want to use the camera whilst having other applications open at the same time. Constantly having to use the task manager is not good for any mobile device. The S730 is really a poor device considering what it could have been. HTC are really milking people on this one.

4. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges The same for me. Memory starts at 17mb after a reboot and is about 8-6 after running a while. Hoping if more people report this there will be a fix soon. Annoying to use the task manager to close applications all the time.

6. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges Same here. How much memory should there be if you have a "clean" phone?

8. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges I know that the S710 had pretty much the opposite situation from a memory standpoint in that 7mb were essentially used by the windows mobile programs, and the rest 35+mb were available for everything else

10. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges well i dont ever find it a good thing, when i have nothing installed and only contacts and calendar running, and then start to get memory errors when i try to open up something else like the camera... there is something wrong here and I do hope HTC responds and responds quickly with a fix or mine will be returned.

12. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges this thing ain't run by HTC you know! Nothing to do with them whatsoever!

14. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges My experience is the same. After multiple requests to support, they always seem to "just notice" the problem, if they understand the problem at all. Several support answers are "buy a bigger memory card" which just shows they do not know what they are talking about. I relly hope they know about the problem and are working on a solution.

16. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges so it seems that HTC still is "surprised" that there is a problem with this device.. The support team is still quoting standard responses for memory issues, ie.. maybe you should clear browser cache, or how many contacts do you have, or mail attachments..
this is a joke already... it would be nice to at least hear, yes there is an issue and we are working on a resolution.

18. RE: HTC S730 Memory Challenges I had the same issue with my HTC T-Mobile MDA with Mobile 5. It is a software issue. T-Mobile has a new release of Mobile 5 that cured the problem. A hard reset will fix the probelm but as you use the device and delete files, it doesn't delete them from thinking they are still there, hence a memory deficiency. The new release fixes it. I have just purchased a new HTC Touch and it has Mobile 6 and I am having the same issues with it. I don't know who will have the new software update for it.
