Curious App Question

Do we have some sort of limit for how many apps we can install? I just noticed. I broke my phone this morning, when I reached something around 60+apps (mostly games and ebooks from Ovi), well, I start getting memory full trouble that not even a terminate all from Kill Me can fix. And MemCheck reports me having 47mb free RAM.

Re: Curious App Question

There's no set limit at all to the number of apps you can install. You can install 1000's, if you have the space.

Problems do tend to occur if you have a large number of apps that run at startup or run permanently in the background.

Sometimes having 100's of apps can cause slower boot times or slower menus, especially if installed to a memory card. Never noticed that behaviour on an S60v5 device, but did on older v3 devices.

My personal record on an N82 which had 105 apps and over 50 themes. Nowadays i'm a bit more selective.

Hmm, its just that I reached somewhere around the upper 60s or lower 70s this morning, then my evernote and facebook apps got all bonkers and started multiplying themselves. Although evernote was one of the new apps. I guess I wont install that one anymore. Maybe the installer I got is broke or something.

Re: Curious App Question

It does sound like it's more an issue with evernote in particular. Contact the makers of it if you continue to have trouble.
