- Okay so I'm sure everybody has noticed this. you install a new OS and boot up with a psychotically high number , within 3 weeks your boot up is at least 10 mb less. my question.. why? when I installed .151 , I had it shrunk and booted up with 47 MB (I have approx. 32 apps installed) Here we are a few weeks later and i boot up with 38MB. I figure it's because some apps (opera mini, bloomberg,facebook) cache info , so I went in deleted all the caches, un installed two or three programs that i never use and the result.....I booted up with less memory ! 36 MB! what gives, why does this happen and how do I go about getting the memory back up there?07-26-09 10:40 PMLike 0
- never really expereinced this. Others have reported this happening though. Not 10 megs difference that i recall07-26-09 10:56 PMLike 0
- seems to have happened to me with every single OS since i've owned the storm. Why yours still boots with the same amount even after 3-4 weeks?07-26-09 11:03 PMLike 0

- not sure what you talking about, in status it's says signal,pin,file free,batterry, and then the imei numbers ...nothing that I see about rms07-26-09 11:41 PMLike 0
- I think I now know what your talking about. in status i clicked the BB button and checked databases. As you said for the whole thing it's 1.43MB so i don't think that's the problem.07-26-09 11:49 PMLike 0
- Ive never had this problem before on any current OS. 151 and 148 and even 5.0.0.140 seems to manage it better. I might drop by 5 or less but it goes back up by itself over the course of the day.07-26-09 11:56 PMLike 0

Lonman- wasn't aware of this before. What does it mean? Mine is 5.2mb, and I also never have memory over 30 and only have 10 applications installed. Is there a way to get that 5.2 down to 1.3?07-27-09 01:04 PMLike 0 -

If your file is that large I would recommend cleaning it up as it could be corrupted and it only takes a few minutes to re-set up everything the way you like it.07-27-09 02:26 PMLike 0 - Yes, you really shouldn't have this file over 2mb. Open up DM and connect your blackberry. In advanced options you can clean up this file. Just remember that by erasing this file you will lose the a lot of your third part application settings.

- Well you can back up quicklaunch to your memory card, but you will lose other settings you have saved in third party apps. For example if you are using Poynt and have a favorite movie theater saved you will lose that.07-27-09 06:36 PMLike 0
