How to speed up your blackberry
If you are one of the millions of blackberry users out there, then you may have experienced intermittent slowness and unresponsiveness with your device every now and again. Here’s a few steps and measures you can take to ensure that your blackberry is running just as good as it was the day that it was purchased.
Instructions
1
Available Memory – One of the first things that you are going to want to check on your blackberry device is the amount of available device memory. To do this open the options menu then scroll down to open the status menu. Once you are in the status menu, you should be able to see how much available memory your device has and how much is being used. You should want around 10MB or more available. That is the minimum that i would recommend having on your device.
2
Remove unused applications – If you’re like me, then you probably have loaded a ton of applications onto your blackberry via App World or from performing OTA (over the air) installations from websites, and hardly ever audit the applications you have and determine if you need all of them. It is a good practice to go through your application list every now and again to determine if there are any that you no longer desire to have on the device and remove them. This helps free up space on your device which will then allocate it back to your device. To remove applications, start by clicking on the options menu. Go to Advanced Options, then click on Applications. From this screen you should see a generated list of all of your applications. Scroll through the list and select the application that you want to remove. Push the menu button and delete it. Once deleted, it may prompt you to restart your device. You can either do this now or later depending on how many applications you want to remove at one time.
3
Memory Cleaning – Bet you’ve probably never heard of this little blackberry option. In the blackberry, there is a memory cleaning option that is disabled by default. This is a great little utility that once enabled will allow you to schedule your device to clean out the temporary cache items that are residing in the memory when your device is idle. This is a great utility because sometimes when you have used a few programs and exit them, they do not always release or clean up the memory that they have used. To enable this option navigate to the options menu. Go into the Security Settings menu, then open the Memory Cleaning option. Change the status of this option from disabled to enabled. Once you have enabled it, you can set it to clean the memory when your device has become idle. Configure the settings that you would like to use here. I recommend settings it to clean the device once idle and to check every 5 minutes or so. You can also add a memory cleaner icon to your blackberry’s home menu if you do not want to set it to automatically clean when idle. This will enable you to run it on demand whenever you feel that your device is sluggish.
4
Firmware – Keeping your device firmware up to date is one of the most important things that you can do to ensure that issues with your device have been remediated and you have the most recent options and features available. Many times firmware updates increase the performance of your phone and address memory leaks and problems. To initiate a firmware update from your blackberry, go into your options menu. From their, click on advanced options and then click on wireless update. From here you can check to see if any new firmware version is available for you device. Make sure that you have a decent battery charge of 50% or more before performing this, as it can take up to 2 hours to complete. It is very important that you do not lose power to your phone during this update because a failure can result in the device becoming inaccessible. Click the check for updates button. If there is an update available. Click the install button. This procedure performs a backup of your device and settings so that upon completion, you should retain all of the settings you had previously
