Yeah, we've had a similar issue before. One thing you can try is to call recycle() on the last frame of your animation before you replace it. This is normally called by the garbage collector and works fine when you're not close to the memory limit, but it sounds like there might be cases where you temporarily go over the limit and the GC doesn't get to the bitmaps in time.
