Venu 2 Plus Out of Memory

Hey guys, before I file a bug report, let me ask if anyone's had similar problems. I have an app that stores huge map images. The code works fine on every device I've tested except for the Venu 2 Plus. It stores the image fine using Storage.setValue on the Venu 2 Plus. However, it can't retrieve the image without hitting an out of memory error. What could I be doing wrong? I'm guessing it has to do with the new graphics pool.

img = Storage.getValue(i.toString()+"map");

I'm just storing the image to a variable. Should I somehow put it in the graphics pool before storing it, or is it just a bug?

Thanks,

Lance

I suspect that it does have something to do with the graphics pool, but I would expect the same failure on the Venu 2, F7, and Epix2 if that is the case. From a CIQ perspective all these devices have the same memory limits and graphics pool as the Venu 2 plus.

I appreciate the reply, sabeard! I tested it on a Venu2, and there was no problem. I then went back to the Venu 2 Plus (without clearing the storage) and the stored map images loaded fine. I think it has to do with the fact that the Venu 2 Plus can download a map image 150 pixels bigger than the Venu2. But for some reason it can't retrieve a map image that big from storage. When the Venu 2 Plus used the smaller stored image, it worked okay. I plan to file a bug report. Thank you again for the reply sabeard!

They should both be the same. As Sabeard said, CIQ wise they are the same.

Are you already close to max memory for your app?

I am with Jim on this one. Looking at the SDK info, there should be no difference between the Venu 2 and the Venu 2 plus as far as CIQ goes. Both devices are the same screen resolution and memory limits. I don't see how you get a 150 larger image on the Venu 2 Plus, but I can see how the larger image could cause the problem.

I’m sure you are both correct. I hardcode the max size of map that every device can use. I must’ve forgotten to update venu2s limit, causing it to download less than its capacity.
