Default slow launching applications???

Please Login to Remove!

Hey

Lately I noticied that when I try to launch certain applications, ie. camera, voice recorder, alarm, etc. it takes a bit of time to load.

What could be wrong?

Thanks

Your BB is memory starved.......what is your file free?

Do a battery pull........and make sure you exit out of apps through the menu key - otherwise the apps will run in the background chewing up memory and battery...

what do you mean by file free?

I do pull the battery often. I do exit out of applications but when I press the menu key and click to switch application, those applications are still there.

OPTIONS -> STATUS = file free

When you leave an app - use menu -> close

Plenty of memory........so that would leave a slow network and/or poor signal strength......try another app and see if that site is equally as slow......

Normally if you are over 10-12mb you should have plenty of memory (unless you are downloading War & Peace).
