On and off the phone doesnt work..
got a code or sometik?

If you want to free RAM then the restart should (or just press menu for 3sec and choose with c the program you want to terminate) work but if you want to delete programs then RTFM.

If you can't delete then backup your contacts and hard reset your phone.

Glossary:

RTFM:Read The F***ING Manual

Soft-reset:the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted!

Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370#

NOTE: The battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable. A good idea is first to uninstall all applications manually!

you should get App Manager or Memory Monitor to see what or which program that took your RAM out and unstall that app 😊 😃

There's no need to format your phone, Symbian OS is not M$ Windows 😃

You can download AppMan here : http://www.symbianware.com/download.php?id=appman60&lang=en&pl=s60&s=0

Select Processes tab, press Options, select Exclude ROM processes in Settings. You'll see modules loaded to the memory of your device by third party programs only and see how much memory these modules use. Then you decide whether you need programs with such modules 😉
