    My storm has always been pretty slow and laggy and frustrating. I installed weatherbug direct. It didn't work. So I uninstalled it and restarted the storm. The VCast icon showed up. I deleted that. Now my storm is extremely laggy. Anyway to fix this? Restarting the storm doesn't seem to make it run any smoother.

    what do you mean with service books? are there known service books that you can delete to improve performance.

    Yeah I've heard a rumor about that. Did you try a forum search or battery pulls? Deleting VZNav and Voicemail are the #1 fixes

    I deleted weatherbug, but I still see "Weatherbug Settings" under the options menu. Do I need to go through DM to fully uninstall weatherbug?

    Yeah that could help. Try deleting a bunch of other stuff w/ DM too

    Try and delete everything you will never use. It does help

    make sure you are actually closing all the programs, not just hitting the back button to get out.

    There is... hold down the BlackBerry button for about 2 secs... then you can scroll side to side in the "ribbon" of icons (running apps)... the ones that should be running always are:

    BB Messenger
    Home
    App Store
    Browser
    Messages
    Call Log

    My Storm became extremely slow about the same time yours did... I had 35mb available... strange... I did a batt. pull and it helped tremendously.

    Mine got crazy bad last night. Then it completely froze with the screen on full blast white while playing back a mp4 last night. I waited like 10 minutes, then finally pulled the battery. That appears to have fixed the lag for now.

    But it got really laggy before this happened, i have vznav and visvm removed, etc.

    Make sure you are deleting from option menu not just home screen
