thanks. |
Re: why do I have to reboot often?
Chances are you have something installed that is eating memory. I haven't rebooted in 15 days and my device is still quite snappy.
Desktop widgets tend to be a large culprit, might want to look at what you have running. |

Re: why do I have to reboot often?
I've the same problem.
I reboot every morning with a reboot button in the power key menu. http://wiki.maemo.org/Customizing_maemo_for_power_users I've also the Foreca weather widget and calendar. (...And many others) |
Re: why do I have to reboot often?
I'd bet the culprit is the weather widget. It's quite a pig. An easier way to see what's taking things up is to use conkey, or open a terminal and use top to see whats eating memory. (You can hit 'm' in top to show the top memory eaters vs cpu users.)
That should give you a better idea of what's causing it and maybe even give you a way to fix it. For example, I found a big pig for me was the browser, in particular after using flash. It's safe to kill that, as it will re-spawn when called on, and killing it often brings things back to a snappy performance for me. My device routinely is up for weeks at a time, only rebooting when I need to due to updates or because the battery goes dead (or a dreaded sgx spin-lock, which is happening less often as I use the phone less for navigating.) Right now it's been up for 7 days and change and is running just fine. |

aggghhh don't spell CONKY wrong. but yeah, use that, see where your memory has gone. or if something is wasting cpu.

Install Swapolube and take it's default settings. I think the primary difference is due to swappiness decreasing from 100 to 30.
