Awesome tips! I have completed all of them. My Curve 8530 has been restarting for no reason and getting stuck in a loop, until I plug it into a charger..so hopefully these tips fix the problem!! Thanks!!

@Sarthak That definitely sounds like a problem with low memory. Check your social apps like Twitter and Facebook. Limit their update frequency to twenty minutes.
(or delete Facebook altogether)

Here are some other memory issues and how to solve them:

@Edwin I totally agree that RIM needs to step it up as far as hardware and software limitations are concerned. That being said – how exactly are the tips useless when they provide a fix/workaround for said limitations?

These tips are useless. We should not accept the fact that we have to remove any unused things from the phone to increase memory.

I have a symbian phone bought 3 years ago and I don’t have to any any of those things.
I have heaps of application, pictures, themes, and hundreds of contact. And I can keep my phone on without restart for more than a month.

Memory leak and memory management are definetely major issues with Blackberry and RIM has to fix this.
