Well, unless the market comments are the same people and perhaps with vested interest in the app, there are a LOT of rubes who seem to like sugar pills- they are saying "great app", "faster". etc.
Placebos are only good for elves (based on the diet as described in the movie "Elf"). |

In fairness... the App I downloaded from the market place does help.
When running several apps (e.g. when the phone has been on a couple of days), it can slow down massively - evidenced by hitting the home button and it taking 3-5 seconds for the icons to appear. Previously, I just do a quick reset and everything gets back to normal... But now I can run the MemoryUp and it restores 'normal' performance. Probably not worth paying for... and I have not idea how it works! And there seem to be a lot of people who think the code is rubbish. Just thought I'd add my t'pence. What would be much better is an App that can kill Apps and/or for developers to add 'close App' to the program menus... |

How interesting that the dev hasn't come back and defended himself.
I trust Bratag on this though, especially given his offer to code a free alternative. 14.99 is a ridiculous amount of money for ANY app, let alone something like this.

See my Sig. This is the code they are calling essentially. Basically its a hint to the system to do Garbage collection http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/ Old Docs but same thing applies in 1.5. Whoopiee these clowns figures out something that every coder who doesn't suck should already be using. And here http://java.sys-con.com/node/37613 Which says that real coders null out vars that hold large items - for instance my snapphoto app nulls out the bitmap objs as soon as its done with them. The trouble with coders today is that not enough of them learnt to code on old school languages like Ansi C, where every byte of memory had to be accounted for and allocated and freed. They rely way to much on the runtime env to take care of all that for them. As a result you get bloated code. B

We can't exactly track down the apps which are causing memory leaks unless we have a program which will display the memory usage of every app running. Is there such an application? |
