I've been advised to delete my log (ALT+L+G+L+G) when my phone gets slow. I've done it once and sincerely I've been afraid of doing it again and harming my phone. Any suggestions? Does it hurt the phone?
Cheers

No it doesnt "hurt" the phone.

It also doesn't delete very much memory.

couple other tihngs you can do.......open browser>options>cache operations......then clear......I see you've got the 8900......options> security> memory cleaning.............

Install crackmem too and delete some of the unused stuff.....just BE CAREFUL.....you follow this and you should be able to get your flash mem up to 140's

How exactly is memory cleaning going to increase performance? If anything, the added process will hinder performance.

are you for real? your kidding right.....

Yes, for real and I'm not kidding. I'm not sure you know what memory cleaner actually does.

I just do what John Clark tells me to do...

hmmmmm....memory cleaning is to delete sensitive data from the temporary memory on your device: cache for the browser, unencrypted data from email messages, LDAP authentication passwords, and the clipboard (copy & paste)

... and this helps performance how? ... cuz I'm pretty sure that's not going to free up 100's + kilobytes of space

uhhh..well its just part of a bigger process....never called it a cure all....wtf is with the attitude?

The memory space is overwritten, to prevent retrieval. It's not deleted, hence no additional free space is gained.

This is a security feature, not a maintenance task.
It also uses CPU cycles and there's a performance hit for it.
Albeit small, but still takes work to do.

It will not increase device performance during or after it's been run.
Any perceived performance increase is nothing more than placebo effect.

Why don't you answer this one... I think you are being a little "stand off-ish" in your posts here... We have some members that a very "direct" and others that are more laid back but we have some very knowledgable folks around here. Give it some time and you might make some new neat friends!

As far as memory, it recovers little but as you say every bit helps and personally I just keep it above 18mb and yank that battery on a routine basis.
