Hi Carlos,
You just declare a string variable outside the loop. It is not
LCD.drawString that is the problem, but any use of a string literal:
String miRobot = "miRobot";
while (!Button.ESCAPE.isPressed()) {
LCD.clear();
LCD.drawString(miRobot, 0,0);
LCD.drawInt( (int)(Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()),0,1);
LCD.refresh();
}
