I usually just go to options->status but I did try ALT+ E A C E too. Alt-H didn't work for me...

I did the ALT + L G L G clear log and turned the logging off.

Mine started at around 16MB this morning and it's now 3:36 pm and I'm at 8MB. But, I am on the internet a lot, so would that bring the memory down?

Whoops! I quoted that wrong, should be ALT + Left Cap + H

That will bring up the about screen.

I'm apparently doing something wrong with the ALT+LGLG. Nothing is happening. Does this have to be done from a certain screen?

I do it from the home screen. Specifically:

Hold down ALT the entire time, while clicking LGLG

i concur. this is one great tip. thanks Pseudo-Fed.

edit: i also have opera mini...

again, just to verify, this is how i should check free space? and if this is, how can i have so little (8MB) when others are in the teens or higher?

[R-W]

I am usually at about 14 to 15 MB, but when I clear out my cache and delete all my worthless Sms and Mms, it goes back up to 18 or 19 MB is that okay?? Or no??

[kwues]

hey guys/gals, about to ask a stupid question (please do not get on me too much ). When checking my available memory....Is it just the first two numbers of the eight (in the "Status" section under "File Free") , that determines the amount? appreciate the time and help, thanks in advance......

regards...........

With a media card do your pictures automatically go to the media card? Or is there a setting somewhere I have to change?

what does this have to do with memory leaks?

[USNAVY]

As a way to free up more memory so memory leaks don't slow my phone down to a crawl. Who made you the thread police?

[thaKing]

just tryin to keep this on topic...freeing up memory is different from the memory leak issue here....

[quattrocs]

total memory shows at 52953088
free is 11743239

os is tmo 4.2.2.180

applications include

bbtracker, beamberry, beyond 411, bible reader, bible_kjv, bbmaps, brick breaker, deblocked, freecell, google maps, google talk, mapquest navigator, mobile admin, mobile desktop, outbreak, pacman, sonic admin, spider solitaire, sudoku, texas holdem 2, tip master, trackit vehicle edition, traffic edge, live messenger, yahoo messenger, beyond portuguese language, tasks, memopad, etc etc.

i have @500 contacts, 100 unread emails, 300-400 read, 150 calendar entries, 50 memos, 100 tasks, i am on BES 4.1.4.

actually quite surprised that memory is as high as it is.

i did delete the sample video, 0mb on the pictures, have not deleted logs, i will try.

never really noticed any huge memory swings....


after clearing logs free memory went to 12095903
i didnt see the option to disables logs, how did you guys do that...


30 second battery pull(not sure if time makes a difference) free memory went up to 12990215

[thaKing]

man, how come my memory is soooo much lower? i don't have nearly that many programs, contacts, etc on my curve...

[krylon..]

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I'm new to BB's. Got my Curve this past Tuesday.

I read this thread before I recieved it and now I just checked my phone.

Options> Status shows:

File Free: 19104191 bytes
File Total: 54919168 bytes

I only have a couple apps loaded. I cleared my log file(before recording the memory. And i have a 1gb card installed. The phone has been on since Wednesday without turning it off or restarting.. I just stick it on the charger every night except last night.

[cupidchild]

I have in my possession:
8300, 8310, 8800, 8703e, 8830

And 8310... is runs slowest out of all of them.
I tried to clear up the logs and free up more memory.
Application Switcher is slow and just subtle things are slow.
It annoys the heck out of me. I am going to switch over 8300 for several days as my primary and see.

One thing I might suggest to all is CLOSE -> Media application when you are not using it. This seems to clear up big chunk of memory.

If there is any other workaround or suggestion please post, b/c I would rather use my 8310 over 8300.

[cupidchild]

Total memory Available comparison on several Devices.
Here is the comparison:

BB 8800 -> 63.43MB
BB 8703e-> 58.72MB
BB 8300 -> 55.44MB
BB 8310 -> 54.93MB

[greggebhardt]

I got 26MB free on my 8310 and have not rebooted in weeks. I have no 3rd party software and in fact dumped PTT, Brickbreaker, etc.
