    I have a Boost 8330 that I have had sense mid Feb. I have had no problems what so ever untill about a week ago. It has started bleeding memory every day, to the point of resetting about 4 times a day. I tried removing most of my 3rd party apps including BeWeather which was the culprit. This helped SOME but it is still doing it about twice a day. I have been keeping close eye on the available mem. and it goes from about 18 to a shut down in the space of about 15 minutes. Something is drawing memory and very suddenly. All I have left for apps is Drivesafely (rearly on) Iheartradio (rarely used) and Opera. I keep my mms and sms msgs cleaned out. My phone came with the latest OS and I haven't moded it. Any ideas?

    I have had similar things happening. I do have lots of apps but I can gain back 10 or more mb per quickstart. I try to do once a day. I am not sure what is causing it but quickpull does help as it can be scheduled.

    Sounds like you are thinking of the common problems.

    Maybe more information here How to Free Up Memory on your BlackBerry Smartphone | CrackBerry.com

    New app recently? New theme recently?

    Bad news. May be time for a wipe and OS reinstall.

    Same thing happens to me. I would have like 34 MB when I start the day, and by the end I have 27 MB. Like derrickps said, use quickpull. I schedule my phone to restart everytime at 2 AM. Since I'm not using it at that time, and also I put it so my phone is turned off from 2:20 AM to 5:00 AM (I wake up everyday at 5:30). This makes sure that I have the max memory when I wake up. So just search on the apps for quickpull, its a free app.

    You might also consider downgrading your OS to 4.5. Since I have an 8330m, I am forever stuck with 4.5, but my device runs great. Maybe someone who has upgraded an 8330 from 4.5 to 5.0 can tell you what the trade-offs are.

    Yea I forgot that might be another factor too. You have the Boost Mobile curve with OS 5.0, but i have the Sprint curve. Still even if that is the reason why try and use what I said. See if it helps at all, and thanks for pointing that out ttfmaep. I didn't notice that.

    Have you tried this. From your pictures or music folder hit menu. Go to options and make sure Device memory limit is set to 5 mb not 32 mb. It seems to have solved my issues.

    I had my phone almost a year & a half when it started its random rebooting thing. After months of trying various things like getting rid of apps, multiple system wipes, etc...
    I got a new battery. No more rebooting. Got it for $12.99 plus free shipping online.
