Excellent article on RAM issues in new Nokia S60 phones.

Hello
Allaboutsymbian.com has just posted a short article about the low RAM issues with the new Nokia S60 3rd edition devices. Read it here:

I really wish that people at Nokia would read it though as they are the only ones that can do anything about it.

oi nokia 73 new firmware is out on the nokia website so go on www.nokia.com and u can download it

sure, once you find a compatible flash ram chip with the same capability and pin assignment with a higher capacity... then, just desolder the old one and put the new one...


BTW, to the one who posted above, a simpler way to click on the "remove memory card" is to press on the "ON/OFF" button and click UP (its in the bottom of the list)

I didnt do the upgrade I paid for it!!

Hi all,
I accept that you can achieve the same by using the one /off switch except i have a N93 and if opened in flip mode its not easy to get to that switch. Also i now use Handy Taskman that does indeed now offer the ability to close or kill apps. but as i have said it is no longer possible to run as many apps as we want without running out of Ram so IMO things have changed and whether we will ever see this resolved in newer phones is I'm afraid a case of wait and see. We can but hope but it is not just Nokia's Symbian phones it does appear to be effecting all the new Symbian phones and in reality the SE phones are far worse off than the Nokia phones IMHO.

For everybody that is having the ram issues I would suggest you take a closer look at the E61, Im pretty sure it is the current leader of all the E and N series of phones (except for the N70) I have about 22meg at the standby screen after boot up. And while the N70 still has More, im pretty sure 22 is plenty for 99% of you all out there.

The N93 has 23mb after booting (with fw 20.0.058) =)

What still amazes me is that there is no way to redistribute ram, from the C:-drive to the D:-drive. I have 45mb of unused ram, it would sure help if i could push 40 of those to the D:-drive...

@Jules N93,
That 40mb's of memory you have your eyes on is storage memory not Ram, all memory is not equal or the same you can't just swap them.

Are you sure? I thought C: and D: were on the same chip..
