well, I have this phone for less then a week, and already it froze about 10 times in varios situations, and self restarted a couple of times. But still I don`t mind, I worked it hard anyways, but now, I hit a dead-end

I took a photo in the morning, while the phone was in silent profile, and it froze, the only way I could restart it was by removing the battery and put it in again

the result is that now I have an incomplete photo on my memory card, now, each time I access the images directory on the memory card, the phone freezes. I tried accessing it via Gallery, File manager, and also through IRDA, in [B]all[B] three cases, the phone freezes and I have to reboot by removing the battery

even more now the phone freezes after making a picture

my only ideea right now is to format the memory card (I really dont wanna do that), so if u have any other ideas pls tell. Also, I`ve heared that the 3230 can`t format any other memory cards than the 32 mb one supplied by nokia, so if u think that formatting the card is the only solution, pls tell me how (and dont tell me to buy a card reader because I don`t have the money)

thx

Well, it's not true that you can't format the MMC if it's bigger than 32 MB. I have a 256 MB one and the phone formated it without problems.


Regarding the freeze, I had a problem almost like this, but the phone only restarted by himself and I needed to look from time to time if it's still on. I was realy mad, so I gave it a format using *#7780#
Result: I lost all the data from the phone memory, but now it works better than ever. I advise you to make a backup of your contacts, or you'll be searching for them for 1 month like I did;)

Another thing, if you have many apps open, the phone will work really slow.

It's not *#7780#, but *#7370#. *#7780# is for restore factory settings.

go to the nearest nokia center and upgrade your phone firmware to the latest version of 5.0604 and all your problem will be solve
