"Plz" show us how you're reading the file.

There are various ways to control memory and avoid packratting,  
the failure to let go of obsolete references. You might not be using 
garbage-collection-friendly idioms. Asking for more memory when you 
aren't managing the memory you already have is tantamount to asking 
for the OOME to continue.

3 MB isn't all that large a file even for Android. I suspect your code is 
what
has the problem. Perhaps you could put together a Simple, Short, Complete, 
Compilable Example, or SSCCE 
http://sscce.org/
that demonstrates the issue?

Without seeing what you've done, it's a shot in the dark to recommend what 
to do instead.
