- It's weird to see Phone at the top of the list for memory usage. Explains the laggy behavior of phone while making or receiving calls or even selecting name of the person to call from the contact list.
I'm so frustrated with the lag in contact list, phone, broken box/onedrive connection (as i'm struggling to attach files on emails since OS update) , that it's forcing me to think about other platforms.
I hope BlackBerry updates the OS soon.
Is anyone else facing similar issues? If yes, please share any work around for the problems.
Thanks!

- How many phone calls do you make and receive daily? My phone app only uses about 50MB, but I ask because we all have different use cases. It's possible to clear your call logs? As for your email attachments, I couldn't explain that since my experience with that has been fine and has not changed.

Similar to your picture, the Amazon Appstore was not listed as a major consumer of memory... But it definitely was.methodinsane likes this.05-19-15 12:11 PMLike 1 - How many phone calls do you make and receive daily?

Posted via CB1005-19-15 08:15 PMLike 0 - I've been having a similar problem on my Passport... Recently, the battery is training super fast due to memory usage. I figured out that my issue was related to the last Amazon Appstore update. Apps don't seem to install properly now on my device, and they seem to be stuck in an unpackaging mode that was killing my battery. I ended up clearing the data out on the Appstore and it solved the issue instantly.

Still seeing the same results. Even without any apps, I would be surprised to see the numbers significantly change. JMHO.

- Luckily RAM or Memory usage is volatile, meaning that every time you shut down you device (not reboot) all memory will be reset back to zero.
So my short term solution would be to shut down you device every couple days and see if this helps
There should normally be around 900mb - 1GB free RAM at all times to ensure smooth running of your device.

Although the Amazon app store comment is pretty interesting. How can the app store cause the phone app to consume more memory? If so what do I need to do in order to the clear out the Amazon App Store As was suggested?
Posted via CB1005-23-15 08:33 AMLike 0 - LOL.Nothing major here. Reinstalled the OS (a few days ago) and gained 1 Gig......before adding any apps.
After a few days, back to normal. This will be an ongoing battle.

I only have 3 email accounts, no social networks of any kind, not even skype installed. Only 1 android app and pretty mush using mostly build in apps. Box and Dropbox as well but I don't think this matters much.
Can a few of you post RAM screen after reboot and 2-3 minutes wait period?
Posted via CB1005-23-15 11:06 AMLike 0 - BlackBerry browser takes up a lot of memory while you are browsing but it releases all the memory taken as soon as it is closed.
Other than that, there is a memory leak issue with the phone app which many people including me have been facing.
Adding my 2 days usage memory chart since last reboot.

Unfortunately, I don't get this "every time I reboot" or when I've installed more apps.05-23-15 12:43 PMLike 0 -

Tried this. Free RAM has stabilised at 840MB, 12 hours since shut down. Reboot, while freed the memory temporarily, didn't ever give me this much free RAM after a few hours. Will update in a day to see how it's performed.
Having said this, i was hoping the lag in Phone and Contacts goes away, but, nope! No change whatsoever. Looks like an OS update will be the only solution, which means we are on tenter hooks till BB releases the next major update.05-24-15 10:25 PMLike 0 -
Could you post post more screenshots to show the entire list?
Also, how many email/social accounts do you have? Have you done any tweaks?
Posted via CB1005-25-15 08:12 AMLike 0 - I might be wrong about this. I cannot swear about what I am about to say but still if it helps..
I read on one of the forum about same problem and it was created by CALL RECORDING app.. are you using any call recording app.. if you're then try removing and see if that helps..
Posted via my awesome Passport05-25-15 11:09 AMLike 0 - I'm not using any call recording app. The issue is still there.
Posted using BlackBerry Z30 on 10.3.1.255805-25-15 12:21 PMLike 0 - Update!
Restarting post a shutting down (not rebooting) seems to have made some difference to free memory, but is still nowhere close to what I was hoping for.
Memory usage by Phone has reduced but the laggy behaviour (delay in making & receiving calls, delay in selecting contacts from Phone app) has persisted. Contact app is equally, if not more, laggy. And, it keeps messing around with my contact details, duplicating them. These functions are critical for me to work efficiently, and are starting to really hurt.
I'm seriously starting to contemplate a move away from BB10, having been a loyal user for 15 years.
And, it's not just because of the laggy behavior or memory leak, but also broken performance with cloud services, inability to print over wifi (I have the print hand app), broken music player, general lack of support for the ecosystem, especially by relevant companies, poorly executed OS update (10.3.1) and a poorly updated calendar (another critical function for me).
Only thing going for BB10 is battery life, and the hub, both of which I'm a sucker for. Security, many will argue, is critical. Which, it is. And BlackBerry is great at it. But, I have started to lose patience, and am starting to weigh trade-offs.

As for the rest, remember that it's a duo core phone and I find it pretty snappy compared to quad core android phones out there, especially the S4 and S5.
As for battery, the Z30 is stellar. Nothing much comes close to the performance of the Z30 in the all touch phones available out there.

BlackBerry offer a real alternative in the market and people need to support it to give it a chance of survival, that's part of the reason why I will stick with BlackBerry for the moment. OTOH, BlackBerry's current strategy is eroding the key features that make their devices special, so at some point I may have to throw in the towel too.05-26-15 01:01 PMLike 0 - Mine looks similar to both of yours......and I've only utilized the latest (leaked) OS on any of my BlackBerries.

Posted via CB1005-26-15 05:52 PMLike 0 - The memory is going to change- in some cases depending on the app selection. Some are memory hogs. Let's face it, you may not want many, but you want certain apps. Otherwise, if all anyone wanted to do was make phone calls and receive emails, I have an old Dell and Palm Handhelds, or several Motorola Razrs that still work.
As far as the black screen, you need to check your BlackBerry to see if it is an option. I have a Z30.Last edited by Blacklatino; 05-27-15 at 08:07 AM.
