My app memory is terrible to say the least after just a few hours it goes all the way down to 0.0. Needless to say that my phone it almost unusable at that point. Even when i do battery pulls (quick pull) it never is abot 20.0 and quickly drops to single digits.
My girlfriend just got a Tour and I was checking her memory. (she has the same apps as me, Weatherbug, Pandora, and BBM 5.0) Her memory was an
ASTONISHING 80.9 last night and doesn't go very much lower! I couldn't believe it!
My question is what can i do to get my memory up. I use Storm Slider, Ubertwitter, Weatherbug, BBM 5.0 and Pandora also. Even when these are not running in the background my memory is still single digits, and on its way down to zero!!!!!!!
Same deal with my Storm except it takes usually about 12 hours or so to drain my memory all the way down. I have no themes except the default and I have uninstalled app after app to figure out the memory drain and no difference. The only app I keep running besides the default ones is UberTwitter (yes i deleted this for a couple days to see if it was the problem and same deal).
UberTwitter will eat away at your app mem if you leave it running in the background. The constant searching for updates is the issue - same issue with weather apps.
if you dont boot above 20 you have to much crap installed. i have 30+ apps and boot to 45ish
That's impressive. I have no where near 30 (15 or so) and boot to about 32. My mem drain is tiny, dropping 7ish in 9 hours, so I'm more curious how you do that than concerned about my memory.

im running 151. Themes are big hitters, some are 1.5 MB in size and some apps are huge. You just have to watch what you install. My theme only takes up 400Kbs basically.
Also the TOUR has 256 not 128 MBs so that is why it has more room.

Plus that should not affect your App (Ram) memory if they are not actually running. Its just like a computer, unless you got a lot of programs running at the same time you should not experience memory loss, right?
Check for QuickPull. It will reset your BB as you were taking out the battery; it helps a lot in order to recover the memory being use.
as I stated before, I (after quick pull) only start out with 20 at the most! I want a tour, what are the chances of getting verizon to get me one as a replacement?? This is my second Storm.

That depends on how far into your contract you are...or whether or not you have $489.99
OS .151 is amazing on memory managment. Before .151 i would drop down to about 20mb from 40mb in the course of 4 hours. I switch to .151 and Shrink-A-Os and i dont drop more than 1mb. Switch to .151 and see if it improves.
I was just at 0.0. I shut down:
Gmail
WeatherBug
Opera
PodTrapper
Slacker
Google Maps
BB Media Player
All had been running. Now the only things running are things you can't close (plus Options, which is open so I can see how much memory is free):
BB Messenger
Browser
Home
Messages
Phone
Free App Memory only made its way up to 11.0 MB. If I reboot, it'll be something like 20.
That cannot be it, I don't have near 30 apps. I have 15 at the most without counting.

Every app you install reduces your app memory, it doesnt matter if the app is running or not.
