Hi, I hardly could use less memory. Devices with high dpi and res needs more memory so they can use HD images, that's why they have a higher heap limit. Now if you cannot use all that heap size... it is just absurd!
I rather prefer that the problem were a bug on bugsense and this report weren't reliable...
