blackberry 8530 freezing problem

[berryqueen19]

iv been having problems with my blackberry freezing, at first it was just my BBM that froze, and only a few times a month. now my blackberry freezes while trying to open apps, and some time just freezes on the main screen and now it freezes like every other day. and the only way to reset it is to take the battery out. my blackberry is only about 6 months old. is there anything i can do to fix this problem?

How much free memory do you have? Options / Status / File Free. If your value is less than 8 000 000 bytes, that might be part of the problem.

That's plenty of file free. Have you added any apps or themes lately?

My concern isn't that you have themes taking up memory, since you have sufficient File Free, but rather that you may have downloaded a theme that is either incompatible with your device or poorly designed and causing your problem. Try switching to a theme that came with your phone. If that solves the problem, you won't have to reinstall your OS.

iv tryed, it happens no matter what theme i have on, its been freezing since about the 3rd weeks i had the phone, but its gotten worse and worse with every month.. befor it would only freeze every couple weeks but the past 2 months its been every other day to a couple times a week... and im not to sure why, someone told me about the alt L alt G alt L alt G, and it brings up all saved crap on the device, and iv noticed if i dont clear it at least once a week the phone will freeze more often

and another werid thing to add to this whole problem. my music will just turn on randomly, i could be asleep and next thing i no, my phone is playing my music. and also my battery dies really really quickly, im lucky if it will last me 12 hours

Twelve hours of battery life isn't necessarily bad. If that's a lot less than you used to get, then it might be indicative of something. The random music is odd. You might want to reinstall your OS to clear that up. The database that Alt LGLG clears aren't normally large enough for clearing them to make any difference.

If random things are happening, I will go out on a limb and blame water damage. But to be honest, it is normal to pop your battery once a day but if this is happening more often then you have a problem.

make sure your not logged in google maps, sign out
turn of your gps (options, advanced options-gps off) unless you really use this take in mind your location is being updated so if your using other apps its to much for the memory of the phone to handle, make sure you erase you messages go the list and click on yesterdays date - menu - delete prior this deletes all you have got if it take long time wait this is good news and do this often, when you get an email and your going to open a file they sent you make sure the size of it if its over 1mb this might take time and if you make a call or go to another app this file is working its way to open and need memory.


hope this helps
