Yesterday my app memory was at like 27 MBs, and i haven't downloaded anything new since then, how can it just go to 0 like that?
I'm really confused.
Plus, I have minimal stuff on my storm, way less than most people on here.
I just don't understand it.
please help
EDIT: Oh and another question. what is the difference between app memory and device memory? Since I have like 878MB of free device memory(and it says i've only used up like 1 or 2 MBs of device memory.
Let it go. there would be a good experiment. I have seen mine at 885KB. But I never could get it to 0.0MB
If it is running slow "battery pull" and it will reset. If it keeps getting low then you may have an app or theme that is encouraging a slow leak of app memory. Delete one app at a time and by process of elimination you should find the culprit.
Have you done a batt pull? That will always free up memory. Also look at the apps you have and figure out what might be draining your memory. There are several that are known to make it drop.
I'm gonna do a bat pull in a sec. here is everything i have on the device(other than the normal stuff that comes with it like the games, BBM, etc) (oh and i don't use VZ nav or VVM)
apps:
...You really have a lot of themes. I try to have three or less.
Let us know if you find the culprit. I might like to know, and a friendly e-mail to the dev might let them know that they have an issue that they are not aware of.
Well. I deleted the "help" application, and rebooted the phone and I now have 24.0MB of app memory.
And I think I am going to get rid of a theme or two.
Yeah, you need to not carry that many themes. Just uninstall through DM and that will help you out greatly. Also, Weatherbug is historically a bad leaker. The newest update has helped it out for most I have read.
when I had appworld installed on my bold, it went from 40mb to 10mb in the matter of a half hour. after I deleted it it was fine. now I only install it when I want to dl something, otherwise it stays off my phone. try uninstalling it and see if that helps any.
and fwiw, weatherbug doesn't leak memory at all for me. viigo drained my curve though. I'm sure the memory leaks are not much different for the storm.

Just and FYI. Yesterday my phone went to 0.0 kb as well on the application memory. It was still running ok. Maybe a little slower but nothing horrible. I just went to .132 on Friday. I have never seen it that low before with any other OS version. I don't have any themes on my phone and I run very few apps and most importantly I close every app when I am done using it.
Now a question. How does your phone lose application memory when is has zero apps running? Other than the standard 4. After a battery pull I was at 35mb. I let my phone sit without touching it for 20 minutes and it dropped to 27mb. How is this possible?
delete vznavigator and visual voicemail if you dont use them, get rid of help, password keeper, tasks, and other stuff you dont need...this will free up some app memory and the next time you do an OS upgrade use CrackMem to delete the sample video and sample wallpapers that also take up app memory
Delete anything you can. I've gotten down that low before and a batt pull usually gets my memory back up. But unless your phone's running especially slow it shouldn't really be a problem
I'v noticed that below 10 million bites of File Free stuff (call log, sms) start to delete themselves. I suppose you could clear browsers cache operations, set picture allocation to something a bit lower than what you have, delete any unused applications, pull the battery out- put it back in, and check again. If that has no affect on app memory then I am at a loss. Hope I helped!
