My current storm has only 42.5 mb of app. memory, and I don't think I can remove that much from it (I've already axed the games and VZNAV.) I have only 3 apps (Facebook, Youtube, Weatherbug). I did upgrade to Weatherbug .274, which took 4.0 memory.

What else have you guys done to increase memory, speed, and ultimately, cut down lag?

[mtoomey79]

That's a good free memory size to be at...

[mtoomey79]

What OS are you running?

Are you closing out of program correctly, as in hitting the Blackberry button and closing stuff that way, versus using the red button?

[JJFrigle]

Over 40 is awesome.

You can axe the default wallpapers, if you use custom ringtones, and if you don't use voice activated dialing you can get rid of that. That will free up over 10mb.

[rchaney99]

I agree, over 40 is really good. .83 OS sped things up a good deal for me as well.

my storm runs like a dream machine and I have been sitting at 29.3 for weeks..

[juKe187]

yeah, people want high numbers, anything over 40 is excellent, anything below 40 is FINE too, nothing wrong with it, once you start dipping below 20's you might want to get rid of some things. delete the net_rim_vad files if you don't use VAD and the (stormresolution)_t.cod file too, that should free up a good amount if you are that numerically worried.

It's not the memory really, its just that the phone seems to lag even more with .83

I'd like to keep it though, because the browser seemed to pick up nicely, but other then that, I don't see a difference. And I liked the highlighter-following idea.

I usually use the back button to exit programs. Is there a command/way to close all applications that are currently running? I also do memory cleans quite often, and maybe 5 battery pulls in the phone's life (since Nov. 21)

EDIT: Now at 46.5, but I don't think I did anything other then remove my old text messages

i have 42.5 mem with

facebook
twitterberry
myspace
weatherbug
slydial
youtube
flycast
captureit
softreset
AIM
screenlock app
all default programs minus VVM and V maps.

very smooth. no reasons to complain at ALL haha.

[secretsexyninja]

oh and the leaked isnt the official.. so maybe the finger following will continue on the official? and im sorry to hear that. everything is faster for me. dunno why its diff for diff ppl

My wife's phone is running almost 52 megs free after a fresh .83 install. No additional apps, though.

[DonNguyen]

my Storm is running with around 56 mb free and it's pretty stripped down...

make sure to clear your browser cache and messages every now and then...too many will slow things down

[Sosai X]

Still running .75 - with a memory leak that takes it from 40.0MB to around 23.0MB over a 24 hour period - and oddly enough it runs FASTER with less memory available.

Using the softreset app brings me back to 40.0MB but the OS isn't as snappy, etc. Low memory seems to be better for me!

[Zoomer3989]

Cleared both the browser history and my txts, still the same.

Perhaps my phone is just slower then others.

[DonNguyen]

clear cache (history, push, etc) and messages and then pull the battery. you should see a jump

[Zoomer3989]

Push? As in old txts?

[DonNguyen]

open browser, menu button, options, cache operations, clear everything

[Zoomer3989]

Any other ideas before I do a battery pull?

[ronlv]

i am new to bb and need step by step instructions on how to remove voice dialing, sample pics, sample music

thanks, ron

[Superballs5337]

46.4 free app memory. after battery pull im at about 51-52

Have you tried a battery pull? After I first installed it, it seemed a bit laggy. After doing the battery pull with "soft pull" the phone is faster then its ever been!

[samrassam]

does anyone know how to remove the voice dialing feature to obtain more memory/space?

[KenBMD]
