hey guys im new to blackberrys and got my first bold the other day, i woke up this morning and it told me the application memory was low or something, i went to check and it said application memory was like 2.3 but the device memory is 850+ do i have to turn on or enable mass storage or something? any explanation help or advice is greatly appreciated.
The 850 (Mass Storage) is for files, not applications. It has no effect on your issue. As ipos says, most likely an app was left running. Be sure to close them from their menus.
perhaps u forgot to close a app properly
next time if the memory low msg appears again, do a batt pull
i closed a bunch but to no avail, i did to the batt pull and it went right back up to 35.8 so thanks for that info. now every app i use wont automatically end if i just go to the home screen i have to hit the close option?
Messengers are the memory whores, if you have them all installed, it lags your Bold like molasses. Close them, or exit them when not in use. If you barely use any, remove them.
ook thanks, seems as the day goes on the memory is creeping down, maybe because im watching it. will it go back up? or do i have to one of those hard reboots?
the basic one that it comes with, 3 emails, yahoo blackberry and my student one. pandora radio, facebook, bank of america, blackberry app world. but other than that alll the stock ones
To check OS version select Options>About. Bought my Bold on May 22 and at&t had released a new official OS update a week before. I wouldn't assume your device has the latest OS. These things are in the pipeline a while before they hit the store.
I'm not saying that upgrading is bad, however if you get down to under 10MB, even on the stock OS, you have another issue. Something is consuming and not releasing your memory. I would suggest you resolve the first issue.
