Care to little open your situation here? You realize that we have too little information here?

Did you install apps from backup or are you running plane vanilla N900 with only official apps installed and your contacts+messages.

If apps installed you can list them with command
maemo-list-user-packages

.edit
Also is it memory leak or cpu hog? How have you pin pointed that itīs memory bug?How have you traced memory issues with hildon?

..edit
Inf first post you are talking about "this hildon bug" To what are you referring to? Care to give us link to bugzilla entry.

I just wiped my OS lol. So I can't give you any packages list, yet i'm restoring right now. Yes It's a CPU hogging + memory usage.

It hogging the cpu up to 90% constantly and about 20MB RAM and then my device home screens are frozen. After a while my device just decided to reboot itself.

So I have decided to reflashing it and hope to eliminate the software bug one by one. This time I'm not installing Wifi connect now widget. And many other apps.. Hope to get back here and post feed back later after 25hours of uptime.

FMTX is not the problem as I used to used it a while back and got up to 4days without any hogging.

I had issues with the FM transmitter widget. It seems to do some sort of checking of the status constantly in order to appear green/red. I removed it and all was well.

Just my experience

That sounds like a bad Enhanced kernel for power user setup. Have you overclocked? Then you are using a profile with to low voltage.

Overclocked once but I have already reflashed my device after I removed Titan. I'm guessing FMTX widget is also one of the problem too. I keep seeing red icon sometimes when the Transmitter is not enabled. But i'm ruling it out for the mo.

Testing is in progress!

Did you find the cause of this problem? This is happening to my N900 aswel. It was fine last week, ive only installed a few apps since then and none of them were widgets.

Do status-bar applets run under hildon-home?

btw.
After reading this couple of times
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8723

I still do not completely understand how i can easily spot specific memory issues in 3rd party apps running under hildon-home/desktop/status-menu. It looks like that widgets/applets/apps/daemons using python constantly (so excluding apps that only trigger python once in a while) are root of all evil

I had the same problem and find this brute force approach effective:
  1. Reboot
  2. Measure during the first hours the normal battery depletion (say for instance 5% for 2h)
  3. When you see an abnormal depletion (due for instance to hildon-home), remove a suspiscious applet/widget randomly
  4. reset the hildon-home process with the following command as simple user:
    - /usr/sbin/dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home
    - /usr/sbin/dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home
  5. Go to step 3 until you found the culprit

Roger that! Will give it a go and report back with my findings. Thank you for your help

i am experiencing this at the moment. conky shows that hildon-home hogs 5% cpu space then it will jump to 80% then go down to 24% then back to 70%.

widgets:
conversations
fb
calendar
media player
qbw for oc and battery percentage and mah
stock rss
4 bookmarks
and a bunch of shortcuts

PR1.3
OC to 250-850mhz
profile lv

any advise on how to prevent this?
