How many apps is too much?

**Socrates11** · 12-29-2010, 08:39 AM

Evo noob here. Have already d/l'ed 10 or so apps and wondered if there was a limit to the number of apps one should have before they really start bogging down the phone.

20? 50? 100? What's the most you have, and did you notice any performance dropoff once you d/l'ed a certain number?

Thanks.

I just counted 59 apps. All are saved on my phone (none on sd), and I have no issues with my phone.

59 total, or 59 additional that you've d/l'ed?

I should have been more specific. After the recent system update which gave us the crappy bb and nova apps, I have about 56 or so apps that came with the phone. I've d/l'ed an additional 12 for a total of 68. So far I haven't noticed any performance dropoff. I'm just wondering how many more I can d/l before I have to worry about it.

63 here...a few on the card. And some of them (you would think) are whoppers. Some require card loads for data (games, etc) Evo runs like a champ.

I have 141 apps in my apps drawer. And there is room for more. I also have some music and almost 400 pics I have taken.

**bnrbranding** · 12-29-2010, 01:47 PM

I have 76 apps not including the stuff that comes with Cyanogen. No problems at all.

**Chris Kerrigan** · 12-29-2010, 01:51 PM

I have 31 apps installed on my Fascinate, and personally I don't think there is such a thing as "too much". Too much is when you've reached your storage limit and simply can't download anymore for lack of space, IMHO

**sasha** · 12-29-2010, 01:52 PM

I have 73 and no problems for me either

**sveilien** · 12-29-2010, 02:22 PM

I have ~160 apps with about 130MB internal memory to spare. I am using CM6.1.1 so it gives me about 100MB more of usable internal memory than a Sense ROM.

Ninty two and my phone still feels and operates flawlessly. I believe the only downfall to certain apps are... the ones that runs in the background. Those require a little more battery usage - Apart from that you can download all you the apps you want.

Note: If however, you should experience any sluggishness - just do a restart/reboot whichever one come first.

**eldub1** · 12-29-2010, 02:52 PM

I have a simple rule. If I haven't used a certain app in 30 days It's time to delete.

Storage space is the only issue I've ever had. I wish more Apps were able to be moved to SD.

Titanium backup says I got 106 user apps. I also have 168mb of internal storage free. Darktremor a2sd puts my apps all in one place, on the sdcard. Not like the screwy froyo appstosd which uses separate volatile symlinks and location for each apk it puts on the sdcard. It also puts the dalvick cache in the dalvick cache partition.

I downloaded 59 apps all on my phone. No battery or performance issues whatsoever. I have 77MB of internal storage left.

I have about 20 or so all on my phone with no issues.

I have 33 Market apps all installed to the device I load them to every ROM I install total apps change with each ROM. I have never had issues with the quantity of apps installed.

Lol, infact the phone does feel a little heavy. I do a lot of things with my phone -

**mstrowe** · 12-29-2010, 08:02 PM

I have 207 and counting with no issues.

**Flip** · 12-30-2010, 12:10 AM

I have 69 n the last time I downloaded an app I got a warning that I'm running low on space

You should clean some of your cache and that will boost your internal memory.

**davidnc** · 12-30-2010, 05:42 AM

I got 34 apps on phone and 10 apps on SD card. I got 1 rule if app is rated 4 stars or higher and its an app that interest me it stands a good chance of me snagging a copy
