nspire low memory pop-up
« on: November 20, 2011, 04:58:50 pm »
I have about 9 MB free memory on my nspire CAS, but when I was writing a document (only 4 KB or so) suddenly a low memory message appeared, something like "not much memory left, save the document". Is this a real problem and what causes it?

It might be just your RAM (no problem). Just restart your calculator, and there is a big chance the problem is gone :)

Ah Yeah I've seen this b4
For example if you have lots of pages with programs opened up that takes RAM. Best to remove some by pressing menu->2->1 to save it and then delete the page.
Can also happen during program execution if the history of the calc app is too much.

Ah I thought it could be just the RAM, but then I thought that would be a bit strange because I hadn't used my calc very much since the last reboot.

How do you clear the history? Does the history actually gets filled up everytime for example you save your game? If so, then this might suck for games that requires a lot of data saves. O.O

Or is it just a bug like when you try transfering an app to a 84+ with TI-Connect and it says mem full despite it being almost empty?

I think it's kind of in memory build up when saving documents but I have experienced this before. And data saves shouldn't be a problem it's just that the current memory required to execute programs can sometimes exceed the space on the TI-nspire. I'm not too sure about it exactly.

The calculation history is nothing for the nspire, its documents that are the problem, as they get decompressed into ram (so huge documents can be problems). And sometimes bad programmed Lua scripts can trigger the memory alert. Of course TI will have made some bugs too :)
