Storm 1 System Hung Up

Hi,

I've got the latest version of OS running on my Storm 1 and everything was OK until today. Now every time I try to do something I get the little clock icon showing the phone is busy and it may or may not perform the task. I assume this means the system is hung up. Is there a way to do a hard reset? Is this a memory issue?

Thanks, Dave

Hi,

Pull the battery out for a few seconds and then allow it to reboot. A daily battery pull will keep any Blackberry running a little smoother.

Hello, yes, a battery pull will make a difference, only if you have a lot of apps, if not as many apps...I don't do a battery pull everyday, the only apps I have is, quicklaunch,berryweather,berrybuzz,Pandora,themes, a couple of others the most memory I've got down to is 40 MB from 49 MB phone could last a week only if I don't download anything, you know my smart phone had problems to was not flowers and roses the very first time I got it. I was so frustrated but I was like I see that person having the same problem and he fixes it! So my mind set is, so if that person can do it why can't I do it! This is what I did cleaned out browser memory, cleaned out device memory which is not enabled and you have to enable.. Clear event log, then turn off phone and do a 5 minute battery pull that should work if not this will definitely work security wipe do that a couple of times if no dice in first try again, trust me it has to work it did for me and I was about to get rid of storm! after problems, honestly i forgot there was timing clock. The most common thing to do if a lot of browsing is clean out all memory often and turn off phone then do a battery pull. Storm works its just that the way people do it, this storm should be for advanced users!

JCM, really 40 to 49Mb on an S1? I have never had that even before loading any apps? I wonder why we don't have more it's like you have a larger memory chip on the main board plus the new 5.0 OS uses more memory. Please do not misunderstand I am not challenging you, just curious. The best I can get today is 29MB after emptying everything, full clean and the keyboard log wipe, plus a bat. pull. All I have as far as apps, is Pandora, Berry-buzz, Face book.

It could be the reason of me removing some stuff in D. manager loader, only kept the needed. for smart phone.
