But are there any R6E28 firmwares that do have the 61MB? I remember on that firmware thead, some people were reporting 17MB at boot. I have more like the typical 14MB. Makes me wonder if these people have 61MB for some reason? It's quite confusing, really.
But bottom line, I heard that the memory management between the more RAM-demanding applications (Messaging, Web, Music) has improved. Apparently, they play better together on R6E28. I just upgraded to R6E yesterday night, so I haven't had any real-world experience yet... hopefully it'll prove to be true. I know that on R6D23 with a Chinese CDA, there were times when it became impossible to listen to music while using Web or Messaging. Quite upsetting, really, as I used to always listen to MP3s while browsing/checking emails on my old PalmOS PDA.
Really, I think on the P990i, if I could listen to MP3s, while checking my email/SMS and reading Esato at the same time, that would be great. But I'd even be happy to do two of those three at once.

Hello All,
I would like to ask for help from the many experienced p990 users in this forum. I have 2 issues.
Wifi:
I keep getting connection refused from the phone. I am on R5A17. Can you connect via wifi even if you are in flight mode?
Fring:
Can fring work on R5A17? If so do you need to install audio and the other s/w along with fring? and where can I get them? When I go to the fring site, they say fring will only work if the phone had been upgraded to the latest firmware. I am on a a CDA162007/8 so it will be a while before any updates surfaces for us in this part of the world.
Many thanks for your help!
1. Yes, wifi works in flight mode without a hitch even with R5A17. If you have a problem connecting, I suggest an update
2. Some have claimed that Fring works on R5A17, which has not been mentioned specifically by Fringland, but if you update then this issue would resolve itself

I'm on WG1 R6E28 and have 59mb of RAM. But I have up to 17.1 free RAM at startup. Strange.

Okay, now is there ANYBODY with R6d and 61RAM as reported by SwissManager Pro ?
I would like to find someone with Italy or Turkey with their latest firmware and want to know what their RAM is, 59 or 61!
So, kindly .... anyone care to let us know

@mode, that's weird indeed! I wonder what things affect the initial RAM usage. How do you check your RAM after boot-up?
I tried to boot up with as minimal of a configuration as possible just now:
- not connected to PC
- flight mode
- Bluetooth disabled
- WiFi disabled
- Default theme
After booting, I opened the main menu, selected tools, and opened Swiss Manager (non pro). And, the RAM free was reported to be 14.8MB.
The only open programs are listed as:
- Main menu
- Activity menu
- Phone
- Connections mgr
- SecurityApp
Performing a level 2 memory reclaim brought my free RAM to 16.0MB
Still not getting that one extra MB you're seeing! Interesting..

I think we have been over this hundreds of times. It is as it is.. some have 17 some 16 some 15 some 14 just random ! (actually I have also over 17MB available RAM as reported by the built in task manager after reformatting the internal drive.... but that does not matter at all!!!)
I am interested in finding the fact of which CDA and firmware version has indeed and NOT randomly the 61MB RAM to 3MB RAM/ROM.
And you find that only with SwissManager under System / Free RAM /more!
Thank you!

@Adhey - thanks for the tip! was browsing the web the whole night cant find any workaround, good thing i posted here, i'm gonna try it later, anyway, got some clarification...
1. after use phone as usb mass driver try to restart it and whoala... the icon is back at ur setting before it messed up....
-restart meaning turning it off then on right? or does p9 have a restart button? when should i restart, say i've transferred the files, should i disconnect the phone then restart, or restart it while still in usb mass drive?
2.if u dont want restart the phone here the trick.. use a SMP (swiis manager pro) try memory reclaim level 3, that should shutdown aktivity menu, then back to menu and the icon back to it place...
- hope i got this right - 1. transfer files, 2. use SMP 3. then unplug phone from usb mass drive?
many thanks again really appreciate your advice!

Ah, that explains it.. To turn on SMP you'd have to access the active menu. Both actions take up RAM, even with the most basic settings. You should access your RAM status from the standby screen under 'more' -->'status' in FC mode so that you don't take up any RAM for this task. This is how you get the true free RAM value at startup

Yes and while u will get something between 14.8 - 15.0 MB right after startup, it will climb up to 16.0-16.4 MB within a minute or so.
You can accelerate this by opening & closing the flip..

CDA for Turkey is /67, fortunately mine is /1. But I have a friend who does have /67 so I may be able to tell you the answer in a couple of days. I am guessing it would be 59 though...
