Hey bb, would you be able to install handy taskman so you can see if there are still memory leaks. If they've fixed that i'll be updating asap! 😊

When you boot up your phone for the first time there's about 17mb of ram. But after you've used applications and gone into the gallery a few times the ram falls, sometimes to below 10mb even if you've closed everything. :icon13: When you close all apps the ram should just go back to the 17mb it was at first bootup. This is why the low memory message is so common on the n80. It's problably too early for you to tell if this has been fixed or not but the fact that you say you can surf the net without the memory message is a good sign so far. I'm really hoping they fix this and maybe get an extra day of battery life wouldn't be bad either. Then who needs an N95! 😉

me i do lol

give me half hour of phone bashing to see what errors i get

so far so good not one msg for memory (y)

i have fexplorer and belive me it gets to under a few MB sometimes

ok so i ran

web - music player - msn - fexplorer - truphone - and sent a txt

went to 3000 sumat KB

closed all apps bar the fexplorer and it went straight to 14mb

it has alot more secure features aswell for net and apps :icon14:

the fonts looks a little better on the main screen aswell but that could be me :redface:

apart from that and the way it runs smoother i cant find much more about any fixes

anyone else??

this is the 1st update since the ie software was launched so i guess this is for the bugs more than anyhing else, but i do hope to see new stuff added aswell, but you cant really say that when you had a n80 and changed to n80ie you didnt get new stuff can ya :tongue:

(did you update?)

I'll install the update now... and begin to pray too!!
LoL! God saves my N80!!

Come back to tell you how the update process was, soon.

Update successful!

Free RAM after restart: ~18,3 mb
Phone is running faster, I can feel it. (and is not my mind!)

I'll hard reset the phone (green button + 3 + *). I don't like Yahoo Search and all the other Apps that Nokia install after an update. I like to keep my N80 clean!

Do you wanna know the free Ram after I hard reset?

Is it worth it to upgrade to this firmware. Any new apps. Its going to take forever to reinstall everything so i wont be upgrading except if the firmware is very good.

Upgraded today and there still appears to be a slight memory leak, although it has slightly improved. So far no memory error messages during web browsing and one major improvement is that you can zoom images several times without any out of memory messages. :icon14: I don't no if it's just me but I've taken a few photos after the upgrade and the photo quality is even more $hithouse than before, if thats possible! :frown:

Wow, it seemed impossible but Nokia is a company that likes new challenges! Probably they want to win the "Crappiest Phone Cam Award"!

photos seem fine to me

one thing i noticed though is... when you lock the keypad it's in stanby mode 15 seconds from that :icon14:
