System malfunction

0 replies · 1,539 views · Started 15 February 2008

Recently, my E90 system (firmware 0.7.40.1.2 French) became very unstable. Possible causes are:

  • Buggy software installed (I have plenty)
  • Micro-SD card defective or not compliant
  • etc.

So my 1st question to the community would be: are there "bad" memory cards? (Mine is a Transcend 2 Gbytes), and the 2nd question would be: are there known buggy apps likely to cause system malfunction?

Short problem description:

  • Nokia maps (v2 beta) doesn't save properly downloaded maps (they disappear mysteriously)
  • Software installed onto the memory card disappear from time to time, specially after having used Nokia Maps; now all apps are installed in the main memory, and they seem to be much steadier
  • I never lost any user file saved on the memory card, only binaries or maps
  • The memory card was formatted using the phone, not the PC
  • Before I formatted it, I checked it with the PC (chkdsk d: /F) and found no problem

Thanks for tips, if any.
