Applications Memory
Please Login to Remove!
Hi,
I have lately been getting the 'hour-glass' type timer on my Bold 9000 very frequently. The phone is practically locked/unusable for several minutes and often needs a battery-pull.
I checked the Applications memory and its virtually NIL.
Is there a way to transfer and run some of the Applications from a different source, e.g. media card, phone memory.
Cheers.

Close some apps running in the background, clear the browser cache, clear your logs, run memory cleaner, do a battery pull (on a regular basis), and delete messages you do not need.

Ahh - clearing the logs...
A good way to regain virtually no memory.
gsgtsg - make 100% sure that you have no pictures or ringtones in Application Memory. That's a great start.
Read the memory optimization thread written by John Clark.

NJ, in some cases, it can improve the file free memory.

By how many bytes? OP needs real free space. Not a couple of k.

Clearing the handheld logs is basically the equivalent of deleting 1 email message.
Completely worthless task if trying to free up device memory.
Right on-par with running the Memory Cleaning task, which is another one of your bad suggestions.

I don't see any of you guys giving suggestions on how to clean up his memory. Plus even if memory cleaner doesn't clean up memory that much, it's a good security tool.

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have cleared most of the unnecessary emails, applications, etc., but still haven't gained much 'application' memory from the 1GB the phone holds.
I am not sure how to access the applications memory directly to see/delete what it contains.
Please advise.
Cheers.

The Bold 9000 doesn't have 1GB of Application Memory. It only has 128MB.
How much free app memory are you showing now? There might not be much more for you to clean up.

The OP didn't ask how to do this. They only asked if it were possible to install & run applications from a space other than devices application memory.
That question was answered, succinctly.

hi, new question
hi everybody. let me ask you something...each time i check out the ammount of mb available on the applications memory, the number decreases constantly, even though i close every application i use. the only way to ' re gain' memory is pulling off the batery...and then it starts again the 'memory lost'....any ideas?
thank you

Some programs leak memory; even though they are closed, they do not free up the memory that they used. A long standing issue (and not just on BlackBerrys, but it gets noticed here due to the minimal amount of available memory).
Make sure you are running the latest versions of third party apps and delete apps you don't use.
