Too many apps can cause some major (force close) upsets.

Apparently if you go over 100 apps & you decide you want to soft reset your phone. You'll be greeted with a huge wave of force closes & no network on bootup.

I googled & I hear the number is 70 for Sprint Hero users, I guess that happens to the stock rom as I'm using Obelisk79+Modaco ROM and I'm at 98 apps, I was at 102 when the force closes happened.

Hopefully this information will help & people wont freak out when they notice the force closing hell from nowhere.

Can anyone else verify/confirm the same experience as well as the app limit?

That is more apps that winmo would handle i believe. I remember it lagging with half that amount

Not that I know of it seems to run very well. I havent reached that many apps. Aslo what about using the EXT3 memory to the internal memory. I seen this somewhere

Yeah, I'll have to Google that one too. I've done the card to EXT3, I'll have to see about the internal storage.

My daughter's phone just started doing this today and she can no longer use the phone. My question is how do you recover the phone and bring it back to an operable state?

Start uninstalling apps until you are below the limit, and reboot.

Just going into applications and deleting a few things I hardly use and it went back to normal.

Yea its a number, I had it happen with A2SD2.

Exactly. Hopefully this bug is not in 2.1
