How to speed up a BlackBerry

Slow performance of a BlackBerry handset is usually caused by a lack of free memory. The simplest way to free-up some memory is to delete installed applications. A complete list of installed applications can be found in the ‘Applications’ options within the standard options menu.

If this does not speed-up the BlackBerry sufficiently, the Memory Cleaning feature can be enabled to flush the memory at regular intervals, from once an hour to once a minute. This is actually a security measure, hence why it’s found within the Advanced Security Options menu, but it also gets rid of any temporary files left over from apps running in the background, avoiding memory clogging.
