memory issues

is anyone else having a problem with their hero telling them that the memory is getting low all the time. i only have like 10 apps installed on mine and they are not that big. any ideas on how to free up memory or apps?

Ok I uninstalled all but like 5 of my apps and I ran the taskkiller app, closed down all running processes down to around 6. And I only have about 19 mb of space left on my phone. Is that normal? Bcz the low mem warning comes on around 12.

thats the thing. i went into the app manager and even sorted them according to size and got rid of the big ones, even though the biggest one was like 5 mb. there is nothing in there that is taking up that much room. Could it possibly be something that is buried in the phone that i would need a app for to clear out, or do you think that one of my apps or something on the phone is easting up memory. i cant really think of anything that would be on there that would eat up that much mem. although, i havent really owned that phone but for a little over a week now and i really dont know what kind of quirks it has yet. mainly im just wondering if this was a common prob or not.

god i hope its not a virus, and yes i have reset multiple times. if it is a virus is there a possible remedy? Are viruses that common on these phones yet?

I'm not sure if there are any known viruses on the Android OS yet, but I think that a memory management problem is more likely.

I know this is semantic but the use of the word virus has the fell of being somewhat alarmist.  I think there is a MUCH greater possibility there is a memory leak in something that you have installed. On the outside there could be some sort of Malware but, even that sounds unlikely

Just bear in mind most of the apps in the store are open source projects developed by extremely small teams. As such, there is a much higher likelihood that the people who purchase them are more akin to alpha testers, in some cases, than consumers.

I hope i haven't offended.  I think the distinction is an important one.

You could do a factory reset and reinstall the apps yo see which one is leaking. Then report it so nobody else has that same problem.

Turn your phone off then hold the menu and back keys and then press and hold the end key and follow the instructions on the screen

There seems to be a problem with rom leakage.
