I have a Sprint Hero that seems broken. When I boot it, it can not
establish Sprint connectivity, and almost every app and process
croaks. If I uninstall an app, any app, and reboot, the phone will
work just fine. Install any other app, reboot, and again, no Sprint
connectivity (only grey bars show with a small x floating above them),
and the most processes close.

Smart Monitor tells me that:

CPU is 16% used, Memory is 85% used out of a total of 192.2MB,
System (RO) has 16MB available out of 170MB
User Cache (RW) has 127MB available out of 130MB
User Data (RW) has 43MB available out of 159MB
(and the SD card has 321MB available.)

I can install any app at this point to break the phone, and uninstall
any app to fix it. To me it sounds like too many apps installed,
EXCEPT that the rudimentary memory stats I posted don't really show a
shortage of memory.

Have I reached some Android OS Limit? What limits how many apps can be
installed? Or is it something else that is wrong, and if so, what?

The loss of Sprint connectivity I put down to having some core process
that provides that connectivity dying, not to hardware.

But what do other people see on other Android phones when "too" many
apps are installed? It seems like pretty poor behavior on Android's
part to just let too many get installed and die so horribly -- that's
why I think well, maybe it's not the OS, maybe it's a bad application
but if so, which one? How can I find out without having to install/
reinstall each app leaving one out each time until it works?
