16mb is good. You should not let it get to below 12,xxx,xxx
Check out Stoner's guide in my sig for ways to
maximize your memory

I am at around 27,xxx,xxx right now...

16Mb is decent though!

24,xxx,xxx for me but 16 isn't that bad. Search "How to increase free file" to get more memory...

16 - 18 Mb is typical out of the box.

The answer depends on whether you have a media card inserted and have made make the Device Reserved Memory setting changes.

That is the single biggest memory hit on a new device. 5 Mb reserved for Pictures and 15 Mb reserved for device media.

After setting the media card as the picture destination, setting picture reserved to 0 and device reserved to 12 Mb (5 Mb in v4.5), you should be seeing 20 + Mb after a restart.

16 Mb in original form is not enough file free memory. 8- 10 Mb is typical device use and that brings you into the device reserve at 12 Mb.

I just upgraded to 4.5 last night. I now have 51,658,992 FileFree.

A big THANK YOU! to bmcclure for the walk through!

51mb free you either have an 87xx or older or the 8330 on 4.5.0.69 with gps, docs to go prem, several other launcher apps I have 29.5mb free.

Hey Stoner, quick question: I found how to change the device memory limit to 12, but how do you change the picture reserve limit? I have an 8830 with OS 4.2, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

88xx World Edition does not have a camera. You do not have any image reserved memory.

I can see this may be confusing for the OP.

When an 8330 Curve has 50 Mb of free memory, that is comparable to our older devices having 50-32=28 Mb File Free memory. That extra 32 Mb goes a long way toward solving the low memory issues.

The picture reserve limit is the DML. I think. PlZ correct me if I'm right.

I thought you were talking about images such as downloads from internet/email. I have been so long without a camera, I didn't even think about that.

[Reed McLay]

There are two setting of interest. One is made from the Camera Options, the other from Media Center / Options.

It is possible the setting has a different name, depending on the OS version.

[willymakit]

[barnettj]

I have an 8830WE as well. How do you set the device reserved memory?

What's battery booster and battery watcher?

battery booster really isn't worth the money. it boosts your battery by like 5-8%
battery watcher gives you the voltage, temperature, and exact battery level.
i.e status shows 95% battery watcher says 93%
