Well I'm asking more questions!
So, I'm using my phone quite a bit (too lazy to turn on computer) and although I expect some of it, is going from 33mb free to 12 free in the same 9 hour period normal?? Maybe I'm freaking out where I shouldn't be...
I know cdma will take more resources than my previous gsm, this phone does more, personal usage, they're all factors.
I just don't wanna lose my call logs and emails
Am I ok? Or is a 50% drop crazy?

BBMaps on Curve 8310 AT&T
Hi.. I'm new to the forum and this thread is the best I ever read! Thanks to the author.
I just have a BB for a couple of weeks and whit so much info I'm becoming a power user of the BB platform in shot time. I just break my head trying to make the BBMaps available to the new OS:
8310M_PBr4.5.0_rel152_PL2.7.0.90_A4.5.0.110_AT&T
Does any one has been capable of unhide the ICON to access it?
I was considerating replace the new LBS.alx for the old one that can be eddited to show the missing ICON. Those that is possible without damage my precious BB? As everybody knows, the application is in there! We just need a way to access it...
Thanks for so much knowledge!

not sure what to do...
I have OS 4.5.0.81 on my device, but the only desktop TMO has is 4.6.0.14 so I'm not getting a "shared" folder. What do I do, because I'm not understanding your instructions. I looked at AT&T, Vodafone and some others but I can't find matching OS' for device and PC. Am I completely not getting this? Thanks!

Nevermind, think I got it. I was completely not getting it, and figured it out now. Hopefully won't have to be back LOL thanks for instructions!

I tried to follow the optimization above but my 8830 (Sprint, 4.5.0.135) does not seem to have the same folder structures (Lacking most of the folders John Clark mentioned)

Plenty of help already posted in this thread. 1500+ worth posts. I think I explained it well enough in the first post.

I uninstalled EVERY OS verison I have, kept the DM though, and then reinstalled the 138 OS to my computer. I deleted vendor, changed the vendorid in the blackberry.alx file, deleted the modules, and tried using both loader.exe and DM but when I do so it says that no further actions are required.
What, if anything, am I doing wrong?
Should I try installing all OS and DM from my computer and deleting all the folders and then doing this all over again. That is really all I can think of, it worked previously, just not with this OS for some reason.

Currently having this same issue with DM 5.0........
EDIT:
Update, even though it seems counterintuitive, if you hit NEXT, it tells you nothing is needed to be done. But then you hit FINISH and it removes the modules.
Odd function for the software........

I have done many of the steps in this wonderful post successfully, but something strange happened after installing Ka-Glom, then uninstalling it (using BB App store).
Before installing Ka-Glom, my starting memory after a battery pull or double-reset was around 18,200,000 bytes. This app is supposedly 324k, according to App store. After installing, my memory dropped to around 17,300,000 (after a battery pull), which quite surprised me. I didn't want a game that took up 900k so I uninstalled. Now the starting memory (after a battery pull) is just over 17,600,000.
Where did the 600,000 bytes of memory go? I tried clearing the content store but that didn't help. I'm wondering if an application got installed that I can't see listed anywhere, and that I can't get rid of. I just want the memory back!
Note that when I now look at database sizes (from status), the total size is 408k, split mostly among various things that make sense to me (calendar, address book, phone call logs). The content store is only 65.5k so even if that were zero it would only get back a small chunk of memory.
Any ideas how Ka Glom (through BB app store) could cause memory to disappear like that - and how I can get it back?
I've noticed little tiny bits of memory disappear from other app store installs/uninstalls but I never cared before as the numbers were tiny. This time it was huge and I want the memory back. Sorry if this has been asked before but I spent quite a bit of time googling, searching this forum, and experimenting before asking this question.

Make a backup of the device. Then go to Options >Security Options >General Settings. Hit the menu key and select "Wipe Handheld". Then restore the backup to the device. You will get your memory back.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I was hoping to avoid the drastic step of wiping the handheld and restoring from a backup. The desktop software just backs up the data, not installed 3rd party apps, right? Is there a way to backup apps as well?
Do you have any guesses as to what happened? Or is it so hard to troubleshoot these things that people just routinely do wipe/restores instead of trying to diagnose?

The security wipe doesn't wipe the 3rd party apps. It will wipe the data in them, though.

I decided to do a wipe, and I did recover over 2 million bytes of memory (wow!).
However, I made two mistakes which is costing me a couple hours to rebuild my phone. I write this to help others with no experience doing wipes from making the same mistakes:
1) Turns out the blackberry desktop manager has aborted all my backups for the last 9 months - I suppose because part of my database was corrupt (just a guess). So the backup I thought I did just before the wipe was not recorded to the hard drive. Luckily, I store the data I care about in the cloud with Google, so this was not a big deal, other than the time consuming aspect of restoring various settings. Nevertheless for now on, I will always confirm that any BB backup I do was actually backed up.
2) I didn't understand that the option for 3rd party apps in the wipe command meant the apps would be wiped, not just data. Some I'm having to reinstall all my apps, which on my 8320 with EDGE is quite laborious (I'm not near WiFi at the moment). Only the BB Apps Word didn't get wiped.
It is interesting (annoying, actually) to see how time consuming it is to rebuild a BB with less than a dozen apps from scratch. Took me nearly 2.5 hours (including syncs, testing, settings changes etc.), though much of time I multitasked while waiting for various downloads to finish.

Actually, I just did a final battery pull and memory cleaning and it was over 3,600,000 bytes freed up by doing the wipe.
The backups are now backing up fine. So I guess something went wrong with my database, perhaps around the time I upgraded to 4.5 (I did the official T-mobile 4.5.0.81 version just after it came out).

Can the "ToGo" cods be deleted
First and foremost, thanks to John for this outstanding DIY- clear and easy to follow and most of all, useful.
I do not use the DocToGo, SheetsToGo, etc. (at least that I know of) as we use the Enterprise version of ReplioGo.
Can these be deleted?
I have followed all the deletions and only kept my Verizon and the required themes, etc. but am still only able to get a max of 10.5 MB free, which then reduces to about 7.5 MB with use of the browser, etc.
I do have the following programs loaded besides the standard stuff:
RepliGo
WorldMateLive
Google App
Google Maps
BerryACode
TeleNav
CryptMagic
Chronograph
the biggest is WorldMate Live at 1.5 MB and the next; the rest are not that big (next biggest is TeleNav at 635 KB).
Thanks
steve

You can delete Docs To Go easily by simply unchecking the box in Application Loader.

Thanks John- and if i tried to use "Open Attachment" rather than RepliGo, not having Docs to Go will not affect anything?
All the best
