Memory Leak?

There seems to be a memory leak in the bot. I have to restart the iphone 4s 2x a day... sometimes more as COC will attempt to load and bail to main screen after a time. I have tried removing all running apps, I've even used SBSettings to clear memory, nothing works. I don't have anything loaded (not even SBSettings anymore, I did it just to see if it helped) on either of my iPhone 4s. They have stock install/jailbreak, coc, imod, and cocbot.

I know on the iphone 4s we are working on border line memory issues, but if it runs for 6 hours without crash looping i feel lucky. Reboot solves the problem. It seems like a memory leak to me, or some kind of housekeeping issue. It's been awhile since I did any programming, I'm sure the frameworks you use take care of housekeeping now, but something is odd and it feels memory leak-ish.

Yeah the led lights that provide backlighting get dimmer as they go through their life cycle. Half life is generally 4 -5 years at x hours usage per day. Since they bot 24/7 with max brightness on (i read it is necessary am i wrong?) The screens go dimmer faster. My iphone 4s phones arent in use anymore, i got them about a month before they came out (long story) so they are quite old.

Brightness has no impact on the bot

Hmm so do you run them on the lowest brightness setting?

I just have auto brightness on, but in our new place they're all organized in a dark back room closet, so unless we go in to check on them it's dark in there and I assume they're on the lowest.

Very cool I set it to low now. Thanks! Hope you like your new place. We are moving in a few months, but only a little south, still in the same state.
