Do you use Drawable's by any chance? See also http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4ed17d7e48899b26/ I had plenty of memory allocation problems on the G1 until I started using BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources() instead of getResources().getDrawable(). Also, try to avoid static loading of images that you can also load dynamically, one by one, when needed while releasing the ones that you do not need at any given moment. Finally, calling System.gc() when loading a new image does no harm and might help the garbage collector to stay further away from the heap limits.
