i've already tried formatting the phone. it's also temporary. the problem still goes back. i'm also in the philippines.

well i think i have come accross a new problem, today my n80 would not send anymore text messages no matter what i did, before this happened it was taking longer than ever to send a message, i assume whatever it is that causes the slowdown got full and couldnt accept anymore info thats why it qwouldnt allow me to send a new message, i did the format buy reseting the phone and then holding down the 3 buttons DAMN!!!! i forgot how fast it was when i first got it 😊😊 now i love my phone again

I did the format yesterday and so far so good..

Lost all calendar entries notes and other stuff, and took about 2 hours customizing the phone again..
But txts send after >2 secs.. Its great..
Just cant remember my mms settings ah well.. il figure it out someday..

I waited 6 months to get this phone as on paper it looked great, now that I've owned it for 5 weeks I can honestly say that the N80 is the WORST phone I have ever owned in 15 years.

I've experienced all the same problems as other users on this forum and have tried the format thing that worked for a while but I'm not prepared to do this every 2 weeks as it takes ages to set-up everything again plus you lose all the 'user defined' words in the dictionary.

I'm putting the phone on eBay ASAP and will NEVER buy Nokia again.

Regards,

Dave

I agree with Daveday, I to waited for this 'Super' phone. The phone is being changed tomorrow for another N80, As this one restarts when it wants to.
If this one fails I will be changing for another model.

To say I am dissapointed is an understatment!

How many times have you reseted your phone?

Cash 10 Aug 2006, 06:11

I just read this on another forum that somebody replied to with messenging problems

"Just as an experiment, try using your phone in gsm mode only and see if it is a lot more stable, for some reason only having a partial 3g signal or none at all plays havoc with the phone."

Not sure how true it is

May be worth a go..

kooks 10 Aug 2006, 09:57

Does resetting the phone lose all the data or is that only when you format the phone?

I have to say, my N80 is pants! Takes AGES to send a text message and my battery only last 1 day with GSM mode!!!

Nokia...sort it out!!

that was the first time, there must be a big bug somewhere that gathers up something over time and makes the phone slower and slower, i send around 600 txts a month so maybe i suffered from it more than you people 😊

Is it worth checking your phone memory over the period from reset to when its unusable to send text to see if there is some way that the memory is being used up and thus slowing the phone down.

nub4sh 11 Aug 2006, 02:49

My minimum sent msg a day is 200. I send alot of txt messages and it just reseted about 5days ago and its starting to slow down again..

the phone memory didnt go down at all it stayed around the 48000kb mark (i install everything to mem)

Cash 13 Aug 2006, 19:03

Are you guys using themes, I was just playing around with my phone and added a few themes and my phone has suddenly slowed down, and text messaging is taking probably 2 or 3 times longer to send, when I uninstall the themes and go back to the original the phone speeds up again.

Ok..just a thought, I do know some themes slow the phone down, but i didnt have any problems with the built in theme.

I have a ctually found a really nice black theme....looks really nice simple and classy 😊

nub4sh 14 Aug 2006, 03:15

What Theme is that Cash? can u send it to me? [email][email protected][/email]. 😊

Anyway, i dont have any problem with the built-in theme, some theme slow down the phone but i guess it wouldnt affect sending msgs. Thats what i notice in my phone.

DENWiLS 15 Aug 2006, 06:48

change ur message setting to PHONE MEMORY and u will see how fast N80 in text messaging!

nub4sh 16 Aug 2006, 01:48

That wouldnt help DENWiLS. I know it is recommended to use the phone memory in saving your messages but the problem is still there.

nub4sh 19 Aug 2006, 18:14
