Thread: Memory cleanup

How much memory are you running on your storm at startup?
Post your memory, themes and apps and we will help you clear some memory up.

Here goes.

I have 51.2MB at startup
apps: 123spoof, quickpull, app world, google maps.
no themes.
deleted pics and clips that came with the phone. "gained 5MB" http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42
disabled memory cleaner. "Options/security options/memory cleaning/ disable"
Deleted my message folder "gained .8 MB "I didnt delete the folder. I delete them one by one. Or set option to delete after 15 days"

Edit: forgot to mention, I deleted all games from my BB.

I have quickpull, VZnav, poynt, google maps, weather eye, VVM, no themes.
I have .114 V3. I have bluetooth enabled but not connected.

I am running 27.5 at startup.

Two of your main culprits are VZNav and VVM not to mention you may have google maps and weather eye running in the background.

I like the VZnav and VVM so im going to keep those, Weathereye is kind of a pain and im never really sure if it shuts down but Im pretty goog about shutting google maps down. How do I delete the message folder (cause I hate that thing) and the sample pics and clips? Also, how do i disable memory cleanup

I also have Slacker BTW but I always make sure its shut down.

i usually start with 48mb , with hybrid 3 im going down to about 37mb in a few hours , but then it stays there.

To shut down mem cleanup go to Options/security options/memory cleaning/ disable

The message folder is a default and cannot be deleted, it can be hidden though, you can set your message to be kept a minimum of 15 days, or you can delete them when your done reading them. Are you on BES or BIS or both

heres how to delete the pics that came with the storm.

make sure to always back up.

Also, poynt used to drain my memory so I removed it.

I deleted weathereye, poynt, all my messages and disabled memory cleaning and now I start with 31.7

I've had the phone on since 6:30, I listened to slacker on the bus this morning for 1 and 1/2 hours and been messing with it all day and my battery is at 70%. So that seems pretty good.

Are you running any themes? Your number at start-up seems low. I have quite a few 3rd party apps installed and at start-up have 50.6mb. After everything settles in for a day or two of running v3 it's at 40mb.

Excellent post. I shut off memory cleanup and I start at about 51 megs now and level out at about 40 after a few hours. I'm still amazed how great .114 V3 is holding up. The Storm feels like it is running how it was intended to run now.

No, not running any themes.
