Instructions
things you'll need:
- Activated Blackberry
- Possibly a Memory Card (micro SD)
1.
First, let's take a look at how many Applications you have running right now. If you have a newer blackberry, you can see all your running applications by holding down the Blackberry/Menu button for 2-3 seconds.
If you have an older blackberry, enter into the Full Menu and then hit Menu again, scroll down to and select "Switch Applications".
Do you have more than 5-7 things running right now? The only "Apps" that are always running are: Phone, Browser, Blackberry Messenger (BBM), Home, and Messages.
If you have any more Apps open besides those that you are not currently using, proceed to close them by entering into each App and hitting Menu>Close, or by "backing out" (see Tips below).
Now Let's check to see how much immediate Application Memory you have available. Go into Options, and select Memory.
If you have less than 20 MBs of Application memory, you can free some up a couple of different ways. First it is important to note that some of this memory simply gets tied up during day to day use, and will "free itself" back up when you reset the device with a battery pull.
However, I'm sure you probably have some Apps installed on your device that you never use. Let's go take a look and see what you don't need.
Options>Advanced Options>Applications
Blackberry OS 5.0 :
Options>Applications, make sure the filter at the top is set to 3rd party or "downloaded".
Proceed to delete any App you don't need or never use by highlighting the name of the App, hitting Menu, and selecting Delete.
If you plan to delete multiple Apps, select Restart Later when prompted. When you have Deleted your last App, you can then tell the phone to Restart. If you are not prompted to restart when you are done, do it yourself simply by pulling the battery.
