BB Tips for that hourglass lag....

Good day all, if you want to effectively want to clean your BlackBerry, try these tips, well make your Berry run a bit smoother -

At least weekly physically pull out your battery and leave out for at least the duration of a shower/getting ready for work/watching a movie, enough time to do a real soft reset.
But before doing that, run whatever memory cleaner you have, and or do the ALT+LGLG method, also turn off ALL connection before cleaning, as your BlackBerry is connected to a network,
just like computers, any good IT person will tell you, disconnect from the internet before running a virus scan, so do the same, turn off all connections before cleaning.

Also if you have old text messages or emails that you do not need anymore, delete them, they take up precious memory also.

Also check for updates for any apps you may have, a lot of times updating a version of an app, may decrease its use of memory on your BlackBerry device.

Also clean out your history in your browser, get in habit of actually exiting out of an APP or your browser by actually backing all the way out and or hit your bb (options) key and select exit or close.

Also when joining BBM Groups, change your settings also, if you do not want the pictures saved to your device, go to options while in that group and change the settings to NEVER save to my device or media card.

also if you have a lot of BBM buddies, get in a habit of closing chats after your done talking to that person, trust me it takes up memory and space also, and if you have a list of "pending" and that list number has not changed in about 2-3 days, start deleting the pending requests, if they have not accepted or denied by now, delete it.

Tips for Joining a BBM Group

When joining a group, remember to change your setting ASAP - soon as you're a part of a group, go in the group main screen hit your bb key and select group details settings, scroll down and select NEVER save pictures to media card, this causes a lot of lag on your phone "hour glass affect", so never save pics.

Also after joining a group, do a battery pull after changing settings, joining a group initially pulls a lot of memory, so "physically pull your battery out"

Also if you get a new device and you're not the admin of the group, whomever is the admin advise them to delete your (old pin) from the group, give the admin your new pin, and then have them add the new one after you have swapped SIMs or activated new ESN, this is stop your auto restore from conflicting with your bbm backup---

Battery Saving Tips for non-touch BlackBerrys

Battery Savings Tips:




Change your screen/keyboard options



Change your Backlight Brightness to 10

Change your Backlight Timeout to 20sec

Automatically Dim Backlight Off

LED Coverage Indicator Off

Key Tone Off

Key Rate Fast

TrackPad/Ball Horizontal/Veritical Sensitivity 60 and 60



Sound profiles - change to Phone only (unless you need the attention of your phone chirping all day)

This saves a lot of battery power



If you have a GSM phone (sim cards AT&T and T-Mobile) switch your phone to 2G (3G is always searching for a stronger data signal)

also 2G is better talk quality.



Turn wifi/bluetooh off if not using it.

Tips to Increase Your BlackBerry Storm Battery Life

1. Delete Apps You Won't Use




Deleting apps that you don't use will help your device's battery life by putting less strain on the unit's computing power as it won't have to sort through so many apps to find intended uses. Deleting apps is as simple as following the instructions below:



1. Click Options



2. Click Advanced Options



3. Click on Applications



4. Highlight the App you want to delete



5. Click Delete



The more apps you delete the less memory your BlackBerry will use and even if only marginally it can help your battery life.



2. Turn Off GPS



I personally don't use GPS with my device unless I'm using specific programs such as Trimble Outdoors. Otherwise GPS is useless to me on mobile units, yet GPS is a constantly running piece of hardware and software that can put a real drain on battery life, to stop the BlackBerry Storm's GPS program from running simply do the following:



1. Click on Options



2. Click Advanced Options



3. Click GPS Services



4. Change the option to E911



It's really that simple and now your GPS won't constantly be putting a drain on your battery. If you want to use it later don't worry because turning it back on is just as simple.



3. Use the 1xev Option



Your device is automatically set to accept global connections, however the constant searching for networks can lead to more battery drain, I recommend turning on the 1xev option by doing the following:



1. Click Options



2. Click Mobile Network



3. Click Network Technology

4. Choose 1xev



Another simple step that will save your battery life while removing any SIM errors you may see.



4. Change Your Backlight Levels



While a super bright backlight on your BlackBerry Storm may bring out the most vibrant colors, it also drains away battery life extremely quickly. To change the backlight to a lower level simply follow the directions shown below:



1. Click Options



2. Click Keyboard/Screen



3. Click Backlight



4. Lower the Backlight even slightly from its current level (probably set at 90)



Backlit screens eat away very quickly at your battery, I actually prefer a slightly darker screen as I find it causes less strain on my eyes, give this option a try and see how well a darker screen works for you. If you don't mind wasting the battery, you can also leave the backlight on until you no longer need it.



5. Turn Off Bluetooth



This is a tip I provide for How-To Guides on all mobile devices from BlackBerry units to Windows Mobile, to Google Android, by turning off your Bluetooth via the Options menu you'll save a ton of battery life, especially if your Bluetooth is in discoverable mode. To give you an idea of the power drain provided by Bluetooth an iR port takes 1/3 the amount of power. Simply turn off Bluetooth if you're not using it and watch your battery lifespan increase.



Conclusion



Those are the five easiest ways to increase your battery life, there are of course other options you can utilize, I suggest trying the tips I've provided in this article and if you still need more bang for your battery buck then you can try more extreme and cumbersome approaches.
