E61 Memory problems

6 replies · 2,920 views · Started 26 August 2007

I have 62Mb free memory on my E61 as well as 483Mb free on a memory card. I'm trying to load a simple 552Kb Excel spreadsheet which has been copied to my memory card. Halfway through opening the file, the display simply reverts back to the 'Open worksheet' screen without loading the file. Sometimes I get an out of memeory message. I am however able to open a similar sized Word doc. Can anyone help please?

That memory is RAM memory... not C disk. Check if you have some open background applications and close them.

Thanks for that. I'm fairly new at this but the only things I appear to have open (by keeping the Menu key pressed down?) is 'Mobile Mail' and 'Standby''.

That are open applications, but could also have open process associated at applications...
Install Y-Tasks and see which are those open process. They are running on background and reduce battery (not a problem for E61) and memory. Close all unneeded ones.
But by "midprofile" seems that E61 have serious memory problems, and if is the case, is like all the others, like N80, N95,, etc, that have also great amount of memory problems.

Wow nj7!...I've installed Y-Tasks and can see that from a total of 45 Mb RAM, I have only 17Mb free. There are a total of 105 processes running and 137 threads. Is it possible to stop or pause these some of these by a process of elimination to free up enough RAM? Thanks for your help with this.

Yes. one by one, by removing or change the settings of origin software. Close anyway, with Best Taskman, but it�s not a free software.
