everything is slow. the cursor, it's slow to open messages, to type messages, and my BRICKBREAKER is slow! now, i can't have my brickbreaker being slow. of all things.

[bethany0729]

but, i have a memory card! i don't have any music on my phone, and i only have like 10 pictures

[bethany0729]

file free is 3644876 bytes

[superaj]

That is very low. You should do a battery pull then look at stoners guide as the above post suggested.

[bethany0729]

awesome. i will do that. thank you.

[bethany0729]

Press ALT + the BACK key (to the right of the trackball) and check to see how many programs you have open. If you have a lot running in the background, it could cause your berry to lag... try shutting them down the correct way (MENU key > CLOSE).

Next, press ALT + LGLG and your Event log will open up. MENU key > Clear Log.

Then, do a battery pull and see how things run

[bethany0729]

i figured the alt thing out. that was the problem. i had like a million things open! i guess i just press the little red phone key to get out of things when i should be closing it properly. thank you for your help!!

Oh, sorry... I didn't realize you had a Pearl. I have a Curve, so it's a bit different... I'm not sure if those first two steps apply to you.

Okay, cool. Glad you got it sorted

[bethany0729]

thanks lilcostello.. that helped so much.

[bethany0729]

ok, now my file free is 5438068 bytes. is that normal?

that is still very low. you need to follow LilCostello's link. you have 5mb of free space when you nees at least 10mb to have it running properly.

" Next, press ALT + LGLG and your Event log will open up. MENU key > Clear Log."

I did that on my Curve which isnt low memory but I had a ton of items in that log. What is that log and is it safe to delete and clear the log??

[gs warrior 88]

Yes it is. go ahead and delete it. I do this every other day and do a battery pull once or twice a week.

I did the Alt + LGLG and a huge list of things popped up on my curve. I just want to confirm that if I cleared these, its not erasing any programs. After the words Event Log it has WARNING in parentheses.

They look like this:

Oops, I had another screen up and didn't see your post and ended up posting my question.
