BB Dimension Today was the culprit
- Executive summary: BB Dimension Today is a memory hog! Switch to BB Dimension Icon for much faster performance. Make this step #1 if you are trying to speed up your blackberry.
I'm so overjoyed with how fast my blackberry curve 8320 is now, I thought I'd share.
I've been struggling for months with a super-slow, always-out-of-memory blackberry. It would take 1 minute to display each meeting reminder (and for 59 seconds, I'd see the hourglass clocking). Phone calls were dropping, the voice dialing never seemed to work (silly Java out.of.memory errors), etc.
I tried battery pulls (this cleared things up temporarily), removing applications (that helped), clearing out the memory log (useless), always Close'ing applications after using them (some help), reducing my calendar entries to 14 days out (not much improvement), and a bunch of other stuff; nothing really did the permanent trick.
I finally figured out the culprit: The BB Dimension Today theme! My guess is that it constantly loops through ALL your emails, call logs, and calendar items each time the screen refreshes, which dramatically slows things down. I think that the developers and QA group for this section of code should be immediately fired! (shame on the coders, and shame on RIM.).
Regardless of WHY it made my blackberry slow, after I switched to the BB Dimension Icon theme, I saw PERMANENT and SUBSTANTIAL improvements in my Blackberry speed.
Hope this helps.06-27-09 11:04 PMLike 0
