I have read every thread and gave up. I have not posted in a bit because I all but gave up on my Storm 1st generation. I literally run the 5 core apps that I have no choice but to run. I also run weather bug. That's it! I do a battery pull, and I have a consistent 6.3 Mb of memory left. That is pathetic. I can't run any apps because it grinds to a halt. I do a battery pull 2x daily for this issue. What can I do gto increase my memory? I have maybe 8 apps that I use infrequently, that's all. I only run the weather bug and the five cores. Somebody please say that there is an easy fix.

Remove the Help app, brickbreaker, wordmole and any extra languages as a start.

[Ringfinger]

I did all but remove the languages and have 7.1 still pathetic. How do I get the languages off and will that really help? What about deleting texts?

[Fubaz]

have you done a full device wipe to 507 and installed just the OS back in and see what its at?

Save media on the card, hopefully you've done that already. Connect to DM and uncheck the boxes next to any installed languages.

What apps do you run? What OS are you running? This is just an issue now, ~2 years into Storm?

[Ringfinger]

I have always had low memory (15-30 at boot) but now I don't boot above 6. I run the 5 cores and weatherbug, that's all. I am running the most current release of the OS.

[pcgizmo#IM]

what is the most current release of the OS? 5.0.0.797? you have to have something else installed, there's no way you only have 6 apps installed.

[Ringfinger]

5.0.0.328

I have the BB core apps and only a few 3rd party apps.

How do I get those pesky verizon apps off?

[pcgizmo#IM]

5.0.0.328

I have the BB core apps and only a few 3rd party apps.

upgrade to 5.0.0.419 that will free up about 10MB right there. wipe the entire device and install it clean, don't go over all the junk you already have.

Then only restore your calendar entries, if you have any and your contacts. Start with a clean device, then see what you have for free memory.

Get the OS here (choose Storm 9530 from the drop-down box): https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...646D38BC2145CA

And how to get the Verizon apps off?

Get the verizon apps off? when you install that OS you'll only have the apps that are bundled in the OS: BBM BB Maps Taks Memos etc

Gotcha.

Use Shrink-A-OS during the reloading process

[The_Engine]

If you are still on .328, I recommend upgrading to .797 or .724. Both are much better than .328

You cpould use Shrink A OS to get rid of unwanted stuff at that time.

If you don't want to reload the os. Back the device up with DM and then do a security Wipe. Options > Security > Security Wipe

It will blow out all the data and then you can restore what you absolutely need from the back up. Do the Advanced features in DM and only restore what you need.

On a BB you don't really get the memory back when you uninstall apps.

If its that much of a problem for you it would definitely be worth your time to update your Os to 797 after shrinking it. I have 16 relatively large 3rd party apps and a theme and boot at 17mb, drops to a stable 10mb but I still reboot every couple days. I'm running lyricidals .912 hybrid over 797
