i'm having trouble with my 8130 pearl running slow, sometimes it just completely freaks out and the loading sign will come up and wont go away for SEVERAL minutes, and i end up having to take out the battery and put it back in. any one else having this problem? what should i do about it?

Check your memory, file free if its low the phone will start running slow and deleting stuff.

Go to options>status, then you will see file free

There are a number of ways to free memory up, there's threads on how to get max memory, but one of the easy ways is to clear out the browser history, and run memory cleaner, found in the security menu.

Removing apps you don't use is aslo recommended

I have a pearl as well and do all of this

Holy cow, thanks for this tip! The lag was killing me on my Pearl...much better now!

also, remember to clean out your cache files and history as often as possible. Always helps browser speed...
