[Tips] Optimize Your BlackBerry

Blackberry is one of the most successful mobile phones. This RIM (Research In Motion) phone from Canada is primarily known for its ability to send and receive Internet email wherever it can access the internet. And today Blackberry is not just for sending and receiving email. With the Blackberry Messenger system it allows you to chat with your friends. It also allows you to do microblogging on Twitter and Facebook.

If you have been using your Blackberry for more than 2 months or so, you will notice that your Blackberry phone becomes slower than when it was new. But don’t worry — I will share some tips to optimize your Blackberry and help improve its performance.

Here are the tips to optimize your Blackberry:

  1. Update your Blackberry OS to the latest one. This will improve your Blackberry performance and fix bugs.
  2. If you are done with an application, please stop it properly — don’t just press the quit button. It still runs in the background and consumes your memory.
  3. Uninstall/remove unnecessary applications including old games you don’t play anymore.
  4. Perform backups periodically. Your data is the most important thing.
  5. Enable content compression. You can go to Options > Security Options > General Settings.
  6. Delete unnecessary emails and MMS that have attachments, and stop forwarding emails to the device.
  7. Save your battery! Disable GPS when not in use, as well as Bluetooth, WiFi and Vibrate. Use them only when you need them.
  8. Once a day, restart your Blackberry.
