What Rock Band should be doing is lowering it's own memory usage and letting the OS kill other apps. It certainly should not asking the user to restart their phone. Ugly and uneccissary. | |
| Nov 9, 2010 at 22:24 | comment | added | Kyle Cronin | @kubi orly? The screenshot comes from tapping "Quick Play" after just opening the game. While Rock Band did produce the warning box, it did not cause the memory shortage. | |
| Nov 9, 2010 at 22:03 | comment | added | kubi | @Kyle There is no such thing as iOS "Low Memory" warnings, at least nothing a user can see. When an app like Rock Band displays a warning, it means that Rock Band is trying to use too much memory. Any backgrounded apps will be killed if they use enough memory to affect performance. | |

Clearly they don't have enough manpower to do memory leak analysis on all apps. | |

| Jul 15, 2010 at 5:27 | comment | added | Kyle Cronin | This is mostly true. However, I got a "low memory" warning when trying to play Rock Band on my iPhone 4 that would only disappear once I manually quit all the apps I had open. | |
