Is this a respectable amount? i'm coming from the storm1 where i was usually below 15 so 114 seems awesome. i have quite a few apps to install and wonder if i should delete some pre-installed apps that i will never use.
View 7 RepliesWhy can't the BB OS use some of the removable memory card space to free up the internal memory. To me this is a no brainer, most of us have 16 or 32gig cards, I would be more than happy to set aside some space so the phone could run better. Most of the new flash cards these days are reasonably fast and could easily be used as a swap file place holder or reside some of the dormitory features.

For a business professional who wants a dependable device that offers a very good multimedia experience, Storm 2 is more than equal to the task. Here is a question I have for you guys: what do you use the memory space on your S2 for? For me here is how my S2's different "sets" of memory are used:
1. RAM (256MB): With the OS and all my favorite apps loaded, I have 80-90MB left. I experience absolutely no lag. Battery lasts more than 24 hours for most days.
2. ROM (2G): I have no use for this. What is supposed to be used for anyway?
3. Media Card (16GB): Music (5GB), Pictures, Video (at least one full length ripped DVD at any given time and random clips 1G), work files and other documents.So why do I need all the memory space in this device? What do you use yours for?
i am just a new user of the storm 2 9520. since i noticed on Internet most users have around 137 mb free application memory and i only have 122.3mb. so i installed berrymeter. seems i only have 128mb in total of application memory. i am running on .530 hybrid

I was wondering how much memory i need to have left in my storm so it runs properly? 30 mb? less? ( more? (I do not like to restart a lot).
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat the heck do you use it for? I know what it can be used for, but what do you use it for? So far mine is empty, and I haven't run across anything to use it for yet. Just wondering if there is something obvious that I am missing that people are using it for.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the memory that BB's have. What is the point of having SD cards if we cannot use them for the applications? Storm 2 users have 16bgs of memory device and SD card combine, but we can only use about 100mb for apps. We only have 256mb of application memory. why? The OS takes half of that, with the memory leaks that we have an a couple of appls our phones start acting retarded and slow.
Why cant we have the application memory just for the OS and the rest of the memory for apps and out stuff. What is the point of having all this memory available if the phone is going to slow down because our memory is going low. Is it always going to be like this? the new bb's are going to be coming out with 512mb of application memory and i still think we are going to have the same issue.
I just got my Storm 2 this afternoon (I had a Storm 1 for 1-1/2 years). After I restored my files from Desktop Manager I went to Application Loader to see what I wanted to take off or put on. I removed all the foreign language stuff and added a few items. When I clicked next I got an error message saying there was not enough memory in my device. This is crazy since I have 117 MB of free application memory. I am using Desktop Manager v. 4.7 that worked fine for my Storm 1. Do I have to use v5 for the Storm 2, or is it some other problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I just got my brand new S2 3 weeks ago. I dropped it while getting into my truck and the screen cracked! I just got it how I wanted it and CRACK! Oh I was mad! Anyways I got my replacement phone today and everything is going great but...the screen is so mushy! When I read about how you could change the softness or hardness of the screen clicking I was like yea right, you prolly wouldn't even notice a difference. After using my first S2 for 3 weeks the screen was really tight ans smooth, it hardly made a sound. Now on my replacement S2 it is so soft and mushy and it sounds like and feels like the screen is bouncing around! Uggh! I know about the torx screw trick but I'll need to get a torx driver before I can try it. Do any of the leaks make the screen more resistant? Do any of them offer something that can make it back to the way it was?
Why is it so different on these devices? Don't you think that clicking would be the same on all the Storms produced?Also is there a way to transfer my apps to my new S2? I restored my new phone using the backup of my old one so I have all my settings and e-mails on my new phone but the apps didn't transfer. I just don't want to have to redownload all of them!
I would just like to first say I checked out the similar topics generated before I posted this and also attempted a few searches.I'm a new Blackberry user with my first device as the Verizon Storm 2. I love having a Blackberry, it makes everything a lot easier. I don't think I would buy any other phone besides a Blackberry now after owning this one.
I do have one problem that I can't seem to solve even after searching both this site and Google. None of the solutions seem to be working.
I have two apps from App World, Fingerprint Scanner & Pattern Lock, both that have Upgrades Available. For the life of me however I can't seem to get them to update. The most common error I get when trying is "app name is not available for download from App World". Which I have checked and they are available in App World. I also get "General Socket Error" a lot.
I have tried doing numerous battery pulls. I have tried with both Wi-Fi on and off at home. I have tried other Wi-Fi like at restaurants. I have tried doing device resets from MeterBerry. I have tried re-installing App World once with no luck. I'm not sure what else there is to try?
I'm running a Verizon Wireless Blackberry Storm 2 with the OS it shipped on (.320). I have not tried any of the updated OS. Would that fix this and how simple of a task is that for a new(3-4 month old) Blackberry user? Are there any other suggestions?
I just got the bb storm 2 from verizon and I don't want all 8 of these apps on my home screen.all i want is messages, email, bbm and media.how do i get rid of the other icons on my home screen?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI used BBSAK to backup my 3rd party apps, tried to load an OS that didnt take, and had no choice but to wipe my phone and start over. So I get my OS right, and try to restore my apps. BBSAK says "Phone may reboot after back up is complete" then "restoring apps completed". Fail. Problem is, it didnt actually DO ANYTHING! So i try again, nothing still. Dammit.
So instead of asking how with another thread, I searched a bunch of threads and here is what I came up with to get 3rd party apps back on the phone.
Open up your Blackberry Desktop Manager, go to the Application Loader, "browse" to find the "Backup" file BBSAK created. In there is a file called "backup.alx". Open it and load your 3rd party apps back to your phone.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOk so earlier today I updated my phone to v5.0.0.341.The upgrade went ok, but afterwards it seemed all my apps have disapeared, and the default skin reinstated. After checking around the phone i couldn't find any of them.I figured I'd reinstall the skin I had been using (Blackberry Pro v4). After installing it, my menu was really screwed up. All the folders had disappeared and everything that was normally in folders was on the home menu. I managed to fix that by pressing menu > options > reset icon arrangement.
However, I still have the problem of all my apps missing. I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this for me, and any possible easy way of getting them back. I've downloaded and reinstalled a few, but I did have quite a few installed. Also, does anyone know how I can get back apps that I have already paid for in App World? I'm guessing emailing support is the best way to go?
so the title basiclly says it all is there any other place aside from app world on my phone and here to find apps?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've searched the forums and tried this twice now. I've used JL cmder and the wipe commands from the security settings, but i'm still having the same issues.I traded up from a S1 to an S2 and when I received the new phone, obviously it was a refurb. There were loads of apps installed on the phone. I tried deleting them from the apps menu it options, but no go. A few apps I used, but there were no icons for them in any of the folder or on the main menu. I made sure they werent hidden either. A specific program was AIM for blackberry. I deleted it from options menu, then tried reinstalling it. Still no icon. I used JL cmder the second time to see if it would let me start fresh. Still no go.

My Device Info:

From what I understand the Browser, BBM, Messages and Phone are native apps that always run. I never user BBM, is there anyway of disabling this?
Screen still freezes alot after I deleted all of the recent apps I loaded. How do I wipe? Will that get rid of the 428 OS that is currently on my 9550?
