Improving Memory Performance The memory in your device tends to fill up as a result of normal usage. If the device starts to slow down, or applications suddenly shut down, you should consider the following: • Always have more than 100 MB of free internal storage available. • Close down running applications that you are not using. • Clear the memory cache for all applications. • Uninstall downloaded applications that you don't use. • Move applications to the memory card if the internal storage is full. • Transfer photos, videos, and music from the internal memory to the memory card. 34 This is an internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
