Hey guys I'm new to the whole BB world and I just got the BB Storm but it keeps locking up and crashig and i have to do a battery pull to try to fix it. It helps only for a short time any ideas to help me out?

[Craterz]

device mem is 871.1mb free

[Craterz]

About how long does it take from a battery pull till it starts to act up?

Also, when you use apps are ya in the habit of closing them properly when finished using them?

maybe a day or 2 yeah i hit the bb button and click on close while im in the program i do have weatherbug on it and poynt

[crisismp]

do you need anything else

[Craterz]

Weatherbug is known to have memory issues for some folks, not sure about Poynt. Every couple days with weatherbug does not surprise me. Ya might install QuickPull Lite (its free) and schedule it to reset every morning. Or maybe consider a different weather app, I personally use BBWeather and make it at least 4-5 days before mine starts acting app, and I have more apps than you do .

Oh... You can also try setting Weatherbug to update less often and see if that helps as well.

Good luck

I am having the same problem. I know facebbok is causing a leak for me. I saw somewhere that slacker was also a mem leak. Is that true?

[Craterz]

I use FB regularly, don't find it to be a problem... wouldn't matter if it was, I would still use it. FB is my means of staying in touch with family when I'm traveling. Can't offer any advise with slacker, don't use it.

There is a topic by patches on how to optimize your memory, here's a link to another one as well (contains a link to patches thread): Useful Threads to Resolve Memory Issues!!!!

Might need a replacement. None of what u listed seems out of the ordinary/causal. Cd try backup > wipe > reload OS as described in @ least 1 of threads in above link but i wd contact VZW tech support @ 1 800 922 0204. They're great imo.

[crisismp]

how about those memory apps in the bb app store do those work at all or are they even worth it

[Transfigured]

Unfamiliar w/. I just manually monitor app memory/pull battery & try 2 follow best practices.

[crisismp]

has anyone tried them

Try installing the .151 OS. After I installed .151 I can go a week or so without a battery pull. I ended up taking the Facebook app off of my phone because of the leak, it wasn't unbearable but a pain nonetheless. I just use the mobile e web page.
