Keeping in mind i havn't looked into this problem (i.e. there could be a simple solution)


Did the problems arise after you installed the latest firmware? if so, just reinstall it.

byrner88

no it only started last nyt i updated the software about a month or so ago

So are you just after updateing ur Firmware? im runing on V20.0.016, Must be a bug in your firmware!! I don't think yo can down grade your firmware me finks.

byrner88

no its bein ages since i updated . do u think a hard or soft reset would do the trick?

AV - TEC

Well whats the full version of firmware your runing ? V 30.?.???, Did you check back even tho its only a month maybe they have released another firmware update. i dout a soft reset will do it.How do you do a hard reset?

byrner88

v30.0.018

*#7780# thats for a hard reset

yes the software is up to date

Im going to update my firmware now.. Did you drop your phone or anything maybe you should try the hard reset so !! Or send it back to Nokia if its still under warranty.

byrner88

no havent dropped it might try the hard reset and see if that works

What would a hard reset do to your phone? What would you loose of it?

byrner88

i just done the hard reset that didnt work , could it be to do with any applications that are on the phone even if their on it months?

byrner88

any free ones

Try:
Go to messaging -> options -> sim messages... Anything there: delete, unless your life depends on them...

And you're positive there are no big ram hogs running while you write those sms? Music player, opera mobile etc etc?

I have given up on fw updates... Samsung's P2 aside, every fw update I have ever tried added a prob for every bug-lite it fixed

Another way to do a hard reset on the n95 8gb (may work for others too):

turn off the phone, hold the *, 3 and green call button down simultaneously and while holding them down press the power button, keep the buttons pressed down until it asks for the pin (may take a while), back up all your contacts etc as this will wipe them iirc.
