P900 wont play gifs with 300 and above frames ... but the P800 and Nokia 6600 Both can play gifs with 300 and above frames ... so is there a solution for the P900 so we can view these gifs !!
"The problem with P900 is that it seems to always try to extract all the frames internally before playing back, which is what I had earlier discovered that it took up a full 2.5MB of my active RAM with an animated gif in flipclosed mode for a mere 300k file and 40 frames. This is plain stupid cos my P800 can playback your file immediately without any problems whatsoever. Not sure why SE wanted to change their image viewer's capability."
Link to Gif So u can try it:

every time i try to view this gif it say "not enough memory", even
though i have plenty of space, and then it says program close:
"Program picture, Reason Code: WSERV, Reason# 7"
SO IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS NONESENSE !!
Could it be that the image viewer stayed the same but the p900 has less free RAM then the p800 and the 6600?
Somebody said its because of the new firmware !
Sombody Said Qoute:
"depends on firmware.P800 with r1d can't play imediately but with r2d can! So p900 latest firmware should solve this."
but the new firmware didn't solve the problem !! 😞
How very interesting!
I had noticed that I have very little free RAM on the '900 compared with my '800, and I use a similar 40-ish frame GIF* in FC mode.
How sure of this are you -- is it just observation and deduction (certainly seems to make sense explaining the "symptoms"😉 or do you have a reference?
* well, maybe not a GIF if Xerox are reading this, it just has, like, a GIF extension on the end, but it's a PNG, honest 🙄

I have the same RAM problem when having a GIF as wallpaper in FP mode. And I was using one of SE's GIFs!! I lose about 2MB RAM whenever I sue this GIF as the wall paper! I was using the cosmos screensaver image.
is there a fix for this ? :frown:
