    i recieved my new update for my storm and i downloaded it and now when i go to my sms messages i turn the phone to pan. view and and and nothing!!! it wont go to the other view? also if i try to compose a new sms text and turn the phone to get to the full key board which i like the best nothing!!! my storm is pissing me off. it worked just fine other than it was slower than my grandmother in a hoverround with a dead battery!!! until i did that upgrade. well now its fast but it wont go to the sideways view or let me text with it. also when i go to sms and i want to close it out i hit the back button and it takes forever to close. litterally like 15 sec. and once i hit the back button it freezes untill it closes out.
    anyone have this prob.
    please help my ******** ***!!!!!!!!

    how many apps do you have turned on?

    Perhaps, running it over will fix it, can you give us an update when you do this... I'd also would like to see some pictures if possible to follow along on your troubleshooting progress. Good luck

    My serious answer to your question was a question... "how many apps do you have running at the same time. VZNAV, brick breaker... ect...

    Go to options then go to status and check your filefree. A low filefree is a bad thing. Low depends on device but I've been hearing it should be more than 12 meg. I start out at 12 meg, but hover between 7 and 9 meg. If I ever notice my device acting up and check my file free, it's very low, usually less than 1 meg. To get more filefree, a battery pull does the trick. Then take a look at third party apps. A BB is not intended to run dozens upon dozens of 3rd party apps. Weed out the ones you don't need as they all eat can away at memory.

    Closing apps sometimes leaves 'em running. Hit BB key and check "switch application" If you have dozens of icons on the switch application list and low filefree, you have found your issue.

    I don't know how some of you feel about this, but I think of PDA's as mini computers... it helps to restart them once in awhile.

    I like how *** is in asterisk, but the F bomb shows up. Nice filter.

    Seriously, check the program and make sure it isn't set to compatibility mode. That will make it so the phone only works in portrait mode.

    There is no wasted time on forums. And if there was, you are wasting your own time by continuously bumping this thread. Self-bumping = no good, especially after you posted only 1 minute before that.....
