Thank you for checking those storage details for us! Since this issue is continuing after multiple battery pulls, I do recommend backing up your info and performing a Wipe Handheld. Here's the steps to follow to do just that: http://vz.to/1kTIcNJ

altaylor10, let's defrost that device! Have you downloaded any 3rd party applications from the Google Play market? If so, some application software can affect the performance of your device. Which make/model phone do you currently have?

Hi Altaylor10,

That's not good! When did the freezing start? Do you receive an error message when the device freezes? How much free internal memory is available on the device?

Thanks,

It has been doing this for many months now. It doesn’t give any error message I am forced to remove the battery to regain use. I don’t know how to find free internal memory?

We can definitely provide you steps to check your memory, altaylor10. I realize you are using a Blackberry Bold, which model specifically are you using? You can find storage by going to Options> Device> Storage.
