Only 16MB of memory after a battery pull!?!
- The memory eventally leaks down to zero and I have to battery pull at least once a day. I always completely close out of applications(menu close not just exit button)memory cleaning is on and I have only downloaded one other theme (ivista 2 but I am currently running the original storm theme). Does anyone have any ideas? I am running the official OS (.75 I think?). Any help us MUCH appreciated

i find that my phone tends to drain the memory and battery faster with those installed. so maybe if you have a bunch of apps like that...you know..
then again, it could definitely be the OS04-04-09 12:56 PMLike 0 -
- im not sure upgrading will change much of the memory but having alot of apps that will lower your memory, theres 3 kinds of memory in you phone the sd card, your applications memory and your device memory. the application memory is the only thing affected by applications and memory leaks the other 2 are not affected by any programs or running programs. its sad though that we get such a small application memory04-04-09 01:21 PMLike 0

With that low of memory you definitely have some apps that are eating it up and should try getting rid of some.04-04-09 01:38 PMLike 0 -
- QFT..... I am running .113; have around 36 apps installed, and am sitting at 31.2MB free App memory at the moment. If I mess with some apps, it'll actually go up to 32.0MB... Lowest i've seen it drop was 23.7MB although I do have quickpull scheduled every morning at 5AM04-04-09 07:39 PMLike 0
- I can pull my battery, be at 18mb free app memory, set it down & do NOTHING, & it will be at 5mb or less w/in an hour.
I have several applications installed but they are not running.
I got rid of Vlingo, WeatherBug, & all themes except the default & it still happens.
Why to applications install on the RAM (Application Memory)?
My 1gb of space is just going to waste.
This performance is unexceptable. I love this phone but the freezing & the lagging caused by this will eventually lead to the phones destruction by my angered hand!
There are obviously a lot of people out there that do not have this issue & probably a few that have a lot of apps installed that don't have the freezing & the lagging caused by low application memory.
I want to install as many apps as I please. I know better to try & run them all at once so why is the BlackBerry designed this way?
As Kenan Thompson says on SNL Weekend Update when he plays Oscar Rogers:
FIX IT!!!04-04-09 11:13 PMLike 0 - It's not the OS, so don't bother upgrading to fix the problem. Come on guys, upgrading the OS, especially leaked OS's, is not the cure all.
Review your apps. delete the major ones you don't use one at a time (I know, time consuming) but you should see a difference. With minimal 3rd party apps, you should be seeing about 37-40mgb on 0.75.04-05-09 12:43 AMLike 0 - You guys need to try this hybrid:

With all the apps (listed in signature) and two custom themes, I still boot at 50+mb!!!04-05-09 01:14 AMLike 0 - With all the posts I've seen about App memory, I'm starting to get worried. My memory never goes any higher than 20.9mb even after a battery pull, and I've seen it go as low as 600kb. Now that said, I've never experienced any slowdown or glitches or anything requiring me to pull the battery, except for a few lockups, but I was wondering if mine should be reading higher or not. I have a 9530 on Verizon, running .75, with 4 or 5 apps installed and no additional themes. Also, you check the memory usage under Memory in Options, right?04-05-09 01:56 AMLike 0
- Hi All,
Thanks for all of the feedback. I have tried slimming down my apps to just those that I use on a regular basis, and I am not seeing much improvement (start with 20MB now, but still leaks to zero in about 24 hrs and starts lagging around 10MB). Below is the list of what I currently have, turns out it was more than I thought, but doesnt seem overwhelming to me. Anything glaring as a problem causer? Any other ideas why I am not seeing the ~30MB of memory others are reporting?

Again, I am very good about closing out of apps when I am done and not letting them continue running in the background. Any other ideas?!?

Thanks in advance04-06-09 11:42 PMLike 0 - I'm having the same problem. I start out in the low 20's and after roughly six hours i'm down below 4mb. I wouldn't mind too much if it didn't delete my sms.

anyone have any clues?04-07-09 12:17 AMLike 0 - OMG!! You have a few memory eaters on here. RSS Readers are always running looking for new artcles even when you tell it not to. Dump Viigo and/or Wall Street Journal. FaceBook and Weatherbug are also hogs. FaceBook intergrates itself with multiple functions on your phone and is always looking for new messages. Same with Flickr. You have Google Maps and Poynt. Both applications use GPS which means they are always runnng even when you think they are not to update your location. You also have 2 applications that stream radio. I suggest that you minimize multiple applications that do the same thing, thus usng the same resources. You may can live with the Viigo leak. OK, so get rid of WSJ. I must admit, however, I have multiple apps. that use GPS (GoogleMaps, Superpages, BlackBerry Maps, and VZNav). I also know where my leak is coming from and I choose to lve with it. Let's face it. A 128MB processor is not strong enough for the amount of dynamic applications you can place on a 1 gig on-board memory smartphone. I hope RIM is thinking 256 for next time.
Also, I don't know what to say about the second bold statement... a 128MB processor.... that's a good one.04-07-09 12:57 AMLike 0
