I am a verizon blackberry curve user. Im running the bbm 5.0 and it slows down my phone like crazy. It takes a while to open up a chat, and everytime i enter into it the hourglass runs like its downloading or something. Does anyone have this issue? Is there a fix? also, sometimes even if i read a message my indicator light still blinks thanks for the help
Have you tried a battery pull, and which 5.0bbm version are you using?
of course i have done the pull a million times, i installed it wen the official release came out a few weeks ago and its 5.0.0.33
How much memory are you booting up with?
And are you in any groups? - I found that groups can definitely slow down performance of the whole BB device if the group posts a lot of content.
no groups, and im not sure how to check how much memory i am booting up with.. how do i check that
Options->Status
Check now, I want to see if your memory is low.
Then you should do that right after a battery pull to find out how much you boot up with.
before is 20069114 bytes gonna restart now takes five min or so
That's plenty of memory, if you were down in the millions instead of 10millions, then that could be the probable reason for the sluggishness of your BB, may I ask if you're running a newer OS or old OS; I'm not too familiar with Curve OS's but I'm sure 5.0 OS for curve in theory is faster than any other OS for curve.
5.0 isint out yet officially for the curve, and i am afraid to do the leaked verison.... i know its coming and i hope its ocming soon lol
Hmm, maybe the OS you're running is just slower in general. I remember early 4.7 builds for Storm were slow and with big app use with big apps such as bbm, just slowed it down even more.
