Default Fixed My Lag/Spinning Clock Issue

For a time my Style was nearly unusable due to getting that spinning clock constantly, lots of lag, and regular freezes. I then deleted 3 apps because I wasn't using or didn't like them:

Socialscope (finally got invited, wasn't impressed, hogs battery big time)
Hootsuite
Poynt

My Style is like a brand new phone now! Lag is gone, freezes gone, and I rarely see the spinning clock anymore. Obviously one of these apps is to blame. I hope this helps someone else!

Got rid of Poynt too and my battery is definitely better. I must say however, I think deleting SocialScope was a bad idea as that has never seemed to drain my battery. Using separate FB and Twitter apps seem to drain more. I'm on a curve 9360 OS 7.1

Oh My God, My 9900 was constantly freezing and taking forever to respond All day today from 8am to about 6:00 pm. The hour glass would stay stuck for god knows how long. It was insane! I felt like going up to AT&T and getting a warrantly replacement. I had my old trusty Torch in my pocket ready to go as well for backup. After numerous battery pulls and deleting all my messages, and about 3 apps the phone is finally doing better. I wasn't low on memory either, I think I have about 130 MB left.

Never set Facebook and Twitter apps to refresh periodically, as soon as you open the app it refreshes anyway.
