weatherbug is a known memory leaker just do a battery pull like he said above it should only take one to free up the memory
i had this happen a few times and unfortunately ended up deleting half my apps redownloading now haha
I was at verizon today in texas and they told me everyone will most likely get that not enough memory error becasue were not supposed to update till wendesday
I talked to a BB training rep yesterday. The phone only has 64mbs of memory as is, and it takes 28mb to do the update, so if you have even 4 or 5 apps, he said the update OTA wouldn't work. He suggested that everyone do the update via the computer. Also, the update takes MUCH MUCH longer OTA, while on the comp it takes anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes, if all goes correctly.
He did mention Vlingo... said it uses a metric ton of app space, so that may be the one holding you back.

Reason: Vlingo
Was on the phone with a rep last night over the same issue. They told me to uninstall all of my apps, update, then reinstall everything. P.I.T.A$$. They also told me it would only SAVE me 15-20 minutes by using the computer instead of OTA. Guy at my local store called me today, took him 5 hours last night to update.
Don't I feel like a D--K! Went to update the OS just now and message read,"current OS .148, no updates available." I bought this last Friday and it came with the newest OS.
Mine said the same thing when I tried to upgrade the new os official. So I called vwz rep and did a hard reset on my storm. After that I was able to upload the new os. But bak up yur contact list first before doing a hard reset.

Thank you all for the help , I did a battery pull and that did the trick.
now my question is how often will weatherbug cause this memory leaker problem? will I have to pull the battery every week or two? or less or more? or only if I have a problem, how can you check the memory status so you can keep an eye on this problem?. thanks again.
