i restarted in the morning and just jumped back up to 19.0 btw

[John Clark]

There was a RIM article on use of the application switcher and memory issues. I thought they'd fixed it in OS 4.3 but maybe not. I rarely use it.

[itsadrian]

well i wont use it and ill update you, technically if have 19 i should never need to reboot right.

if so can this be fixed via os 4.5

[John Clark]

Possibly. Not sure. I quit using application switcher long ago.

[itsadrian]

right now at 18.5

also i found this

have you heard of it..does it work..could it be the fix all!

i have a link to download OTA free but i dunno how good it is

[itsadrian]

ok i think i may have a fix..if you have dimension zen enable create a folder and i think when u access it and go back it free's up memeory so when u put ur apps in it u will need to access it and back comes ur memeory i had about 18.4 all day like this although i must say i switched themes a few times and it dropeed to 16.4 but while i had just zen it was fine also dont use app switcher

[John Clark]

Not sure if the folders are helping/hurting memory. It likely has more to do with application switcher.

[itsadrian]

i have to report mr clark that i had to restart cuz i must have had a leak i dropped from 17 randomly to 16 n then to 15 so i knew it was aleak cuz it was like in 30 min


any idaes should i just reinsall the OS

Environment

SDR131839


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Problem
Email messages, personal identification number (PIN) messages and Short Message Service (SMS) messages are deleted due to low memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cause
Summary of Causes
This issue may be caused by the following:

The Application Switcher on the BlackBerry smartphone is setting itself as a system listener and is not being removed.
Switching between two applications on the BlackBerry smartphone using ALT+ESC approximately 25 times will cause a memory leak. From this point on, switching applications on the BlackBerry smartphone will cause an hourglass to appear for an extended period of time, which causes a large decrease in memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Resolution
This is a previously reported issue that has been escalated internally to our development team. No resolution time frame is currently available.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Workaround
Perform a hard reset on the BlackBerry smartphone. For instructions, see KB02141.
