Am i right in thinking the BB bold 9900 has an 8GB internal memory?? What i would like to know is how many apps would the phone be able to handle before it would start to slow down?? I have FB... Twitter...WhatsApp and FourSquare and my phone is showing the timer clock and staying on for about 2 minutes!!!! Slowing my phone down ! I was hoping i would be able to have more apps than this!!!!...My friend has a HTC 8GB internal memory and has way more apps than me with no problems??
I would try a reboot/battery pull. I've got a similar setup and am not regularly experiencing this issue though on occasion a 'hung' app requires a reboot to get things running again.
The 8GB is not for apps. Some larger apps do use some of the 8 GB storage but you should be working off around 200 mb for app storage. That being said, I have about 24 apps installed with about 170 mb of space remaining and I don't see the clock very much. Are you certain your media is being stored on the 8 gb or SD card?
