This app broadcasts the WM_HIBERNATE message to all running apps on the Q. This is a message that is normally sent by the operating system to either tell apps that the device is about to hibernate, or is low on memory. Most apps respond to this by taking things that are stored in memory and persisting them onto storage media. So if an app has a 3 meg file cached into memory, it may for instance, write that cached data to disk in anticipation of the system shutting down or going into hibernation. So... bottom line is, this memory freeing app will really only work as well as the running applications respond to the hibernate message. Your mileage may vary. |
