Hi i was wondering if there is a way to add more application memory to the storm or if i am able to store the apps on my memory card? If anyone has an answer for this it would be great.. Thanks

Unfortunately the answer to both those questions is no.

Maybe some day though.

What are you saying your storm doesn't have enough memory? Mine has 20gb of app memory.

If you are running out of memory try:

1. delete any 3rd party apps (inc themes) that you never use

2. make sure to properly close all apps when you are done using them (menu > close/exit) rather than just jumping out

3. try to identify problematic 3rd party apps/themes that are causing a memory leak. you may want to think back to when you first noticed the problem and what apps you loaded around that time.

Good luck.

^^ an app that loads third party apps to a memory card

Not free but comes with a 7 day trial.

there is also a free app (quick pull) that allows you to schedule a daily automatic hard reset which will reset your application memory as well

i have mine to restart my phone every night

+1 for quickpull. I use it every day.

What is considered a "good" amount of free application memory? I generally have between 20-25MB of free app memory by the middle of the day.

that's about as good as it gets on a storm; anything below 10 probably warrants a reset to clear up.

Why does it get so low, exactly? Is it just a problem with the current (and leaked) OS that will eventually be fixed, or just something RIM can't seem to figure out how to correct?

I am now having a problem with the quick pull, when i click on it it gives me the options yes, no and schedule. HOwever i can not use any of them it freezes up on me. Any idea what i should do to get it to work?

How dis you get 20gb of memory space for your apps. I am not even sure what the amount of storage the storm even comes with. I know it came with a 8gb memory card and that is about it. So please do tell me how i can get 20gb please :-)

is it true you can get a 16gb memory card for the bb storm,

yeah, but if you have awesome VZW retards like i do at the store near me. They tell you that the storm isnt compatible with the 16GB, then you bring up the features part of the storm in the book or on thier web page that it is upgradable to 16GB, not included of course. Then they treat you like crap.

This particular dead horse has been beaten into a sticky paste. Do a search for everything from someone's tinfoil hat conspiracy theory to useful, logical, answers that tend to be ignored by the majority.

RAM is there to be used, and 100% utilization, or thereabouts, is a GOOD THING. Would you pay for a storage unit if you weren't going to actually store anything in it?
