I wasn't even aware this message existed. The instructions are only long because I explained everything in detail. It's really very simple.

[Tdcompton]

Yeah, at least it exists on my Pearl... lol. because after that I went and looked at the space listed as available on my phone and there's only 29521 bytes left on the device itself... But I dunno why, I don't have much on it!!! The only third party apps are Opera Mini and WeatherEye... I do have calendar stuff listed but it's not a ton of dates to be saved... :/

[John Clark]

Pictures, browser cache, etc. You can go to Options >Status >Menu Key >Database sizes and see how much memory your data is using.

[Tdcompton]

Shouldn't photos,videos, ect save to my memory card? That is where they are located when I use my media software from the desktop manager.... Hm, but thank you for showing me the way to check that!

[Tdcompton]

Okay, I didn't change a thing but now it says that I have 1003749 bytes available.. what the heck is going on with my BB?!

[John Clark]

Did you get this number from Options >Status >File Free?

I think it's time to follow the insturctions in the fist post!! Start with a battery pull and see how much memory is free after that.

[Tdcompton]

Yeah, that's where I got it.... Guess that I will have to sit down and take the risk of screwing up sometime.

[John Clark]

You'll be fine. You will eventually lose call logs or emails if you don't.

Did you remove the battery?

[Tdcompton]

I haven't done anything yet, I'm at work so I'll have to do this on my days off.

Thanks for this great guide John, it worked like a charm. My only problem after doing this is now my emails look weird in the inbox. I realize that is pretty vague but it doesn't separate them with a line and everything looks compressed. Just wondering if you or anyone would know which file is needed to be replaced to get it back to normal.

[JSanders]

Are you sure the "compression" is not a font issue? Options > Screen/Keyboard.

For the line separators... Messages > Options > General Options > scroll down to > Separators = Lines.

[Farlz]

Thanks very much

God I must be retarded but now I don't have suretype and my phone doesn't vibrate anymore when somebody calls; any suggestions?

Did you remove any fonts from the java folder?

[JSanders]

SureType = Options > Screen/Keyboard > Input Method = SureType.

Vibrate, check your Profile settings...

We're going to need a little more detail than that. What exactly did you do?

[Farlz]

Not really too sure what I moved over but I guess I will just put it all back into the Java folder and start fresh. Should I just remove the files you said to in your guide or are there more that weren't mentioned that should be removed?

[gdwood77]

Ok, beginning to think I'm an idiot. I'd like to optimize my memory as you spell out, but I can't seem to find the OS to download to my pc from the url you give--

I start here:
BlackBerry Operating System Downloads - BlackBerryFAQ

Click on "T-Mobile USA", which takes me to here:
Unsupported Browser

I click on the "Get Software" next to the 8320, and this opens a new window with "Product Downloads" at the top and asks me for my phone number. I enter my number and click "go."

This takes me to the "Available Downloads" page, at the bottom of which are links to download the handheld software. I click on that link, and it takes me to some page where I can apparently compare and buy a new phone, but I can't find the software.

Probably something stupid on my part, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Garrett

[JSanders]

@ Garrett, the links work for me...

@ Farlz, I would recommend removing only those files mentioned in the initial post of this thread.

[angelika_m_d]

I thought downloaded the OS, I'm freaking out. I can't find the JAVA folder. I've done this all like 3 times:

Software For BlackBerry 8830 Wireless Handheld(TM)

Download Software

I don't know what else to do. I've downloaded this and I have no apploader, shared, or java folder popping up in my Reasearch in Motion folder.

I want to get rid of some crap on my phone... seriously.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
