BlackBerry® Bold™

[a_sensei]

Hi,
V 5.0.0.1067

My BB Bold 9000 keeps hanging due to low applcation memory.
The only workaround is to reboot the handset by removing the battery. After doing this, i can see that around 6mb gets freed, but within 4 hrs it becomes 0 and the same story.

This is terrible because hard reboot should not be a solution that too min 3 times a day is absurd.

Is there any remedy to this or i need to trash it. Appears to be the worst handset ever used by me.

Thanks

hi prince,

The File Free number is: 6259373 bytes

i have uninstalled a couple of applications and a couple of games. for now the App Memory is: 6.8 MB

i still have FB, Dictionary & Navita Translator installed. You might think of me as adamant, but if i remove all the apps the smartphone would not remain 'smart' :-)

Thanks,

Amol

Hi a_sensei

                        I don't mean to remove all applications from your device but as you see for yourself you are already running a every low memory ,I am sure you will also agree that a smartphone cannot perform smoothly at such a low memory.

As I asked do you have a media card on your device ?If yes then make sure Media Card Support is enabled , Also  You have to sure where you are saving your media files, If they are on your device memory then you can transfer those media files from your device memory to a media card it will free up your device memory ,refer to this knowledge Base for further help.
