I have upgraded my blackberry to OS 6, however I have been experiencing a lot of slowness and frequent lagging of phone. I have to hard reset every time this happens and its getting very annoying. I have already removed some of the applications to free up the phone space but its not working either. Can anyone advice me on how to avoid these issues? I don't want to downgrade to OS 5 again.

3. Enabling automatic memory cleaning will help speed up your device. From the main menu,Â
