what does your app memory usually run at?

ThePerfectStorm · Thread Author #1 02-05-2009, 09:46 AM

I just got my storm monday (my 1st bb) and was wondering what your free memory should be normally?

I have espn, facebook, yahoo messenger, vib/ring, google maps and slacker right now on mine. After using yahoo, slacker, and browsing the web for a few hours last night I was down to 1.1MB! But after deleting some of the factory apps I knew I would never use and doing a quick battery pull I'm running at 42.2MB......didn't know if that was good or if there was a way to up it a little more.

Thanks for any info!

Between 30 and 40. 30 if I've been surfing and using slacker all day.

One thing I did that made my BB life allot less stressful was to stop obsessing over my free memory. I used to check it like 4 times a day but I've realized that as long as its running decent, I don't bother with it. When it starts to get slow I do a batt pull and I'm good to go.

Thats a good point. As a matter of fact my storm wasn't lagging at all. I just happend to check it when I got home and seen it was down to 1.1mb

It's just a number, lol...

People stress so much about it... I realize things seem to slow down when you get lower on memory, but I remember when I used to watch my memory constantly I was never happy!! lol...

Trust me, ignore the number... You will be much happier...

Start an infomercial

this is my first bb and I was stressing so much about it to where I didn't want it. Then I started to not worry about it at all and my life is bb stress free! That's my testimonial

I run about the same. I have to say everyone is right when they say its just a number. My performance on my phone is always pretty much consistent no matter what the memory is at.

You can get in the 30's in free app memory. I did not know that.

yea i tend to delete apps i am not using and then run a new OS install with crackmem and with a fresh OS and a batt pull i run about 49 MB with maybe 3 apps. then i download about 7 or 8 apps and run about 39 after a bat pull. its a vicious cycle cause i am an app wh0re LOL but oh well you can always wipe and start fresh thats the beauty of it!
