Phone Freezing

4 replies · 1,715 views · Started 09 June 2007

Hi all,
Everytime I use the Wifi in Maps or to surf the net on the phone or try truphone, The phone freezes or runs very slow even when I have no other apps running & I have to turn it off/on to reset it.

Does anyone have the same issue, Or know of a fix. I have got the latest generic firmware.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have any problems with mine...

...I see that you mention WiFi in maps, browsing and truphone and the things that cause the slow down. So, I think maybe the problem is with your network connection not with the phone itself.

This happend to me when I had an anti-virus program installed and doing 'active protection.'

It sucked up all of the resources on my phone and caused lots of out of memory problems.

Ideally it would be better if I had a PC based application that could scan the phones memory for viruses without needing to install one on the actual phone.

Not sure if that's what's happening here though.

The anti virus software on this phone is a complete waste of time and system resource. (there are plenty of articles on it around here)

Thanks for all the replies, I dont think I have the antivirus program installed, I have looked in the app manger & cant find it. Have tried changing settings for WLAN but I still have the problem.

Any other ideas?
