In my "what’s wrong with Windows Mobile" article, I mentioned memory leaks. That is when your available memory gets lower and lower, even when you are not doing anything with your device.

There is no real fix for this, so like with most issues on Windows Mobile you’ll need a third party application to take care of it.

In my case I use Oxios Memory. The download consists of 2 applications and together they can help you reclaim that missing memory.

Oxios Hibernate 1.40

WM_HIBERNATE is a window message that is generated by the Windows operating system and sent to an application when system resources are running low. All applications should get the message and handle it by attempting to release as many resources as possible by unloading processes, destroying windows, or freeing up as much local storage as possible without damaging the internal state of the system.
Oxios Hibernate sends WM_HIBERNATE to all applications.

Oxios CloseApps 1.40

Each process started on a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone allocates memory, which cannot be released but is automatically freed when the application process ends.
Oxios CloseApps closes down all applications by sending WM_CLOSE messages.

Like many of the best things in life, Oxios memory is free!
