Memory Issues with the Samsung i8510

3 replies · 3,695 views · Started 18 October 2008

I am still new to the Symbian S60 3.2 OS so I am reading up as well. I am currently encountering memory leaks with the phone. The RAM gets eaten up over time and even when I restarted the phone, the memory doesnt get freed up and I have no idea where the memory went. Even clearing cache in browser or google map doesnt help. Any ideas?

I have heard that a small number of phones have a memory issue (the phone cant see the memory) - get it replaced.. carphone warehouse in the UK are aware of it

I see. Thanks a lot for the reply. I will see what I can do by visiting a Samsung shop. Any users in Singapore facing the same problem?

Sorry to be doubting but I have just rang CPW in Doncaster and they told me they are not aware of the memory leakage issue . To be fair I don't think they are aware of what day it is let alone any technical issues customers have . So to chase this up further I rang Samsung ! And guess what ? All the problems / issues we're experiencing on this forum seen to have totally bypassed Samsung . I quote "Samsung are not aware of ANY faults with the i8510 and will not be releasing any firmware updates . There are no plans to release ANY firmware updates at all in the near future . There are no faults with the phone ." I reported the packet data issue that I have been experiencing to them myself a while ago now (which they do have on record) and their solution is to send me a replacement battery as it could be a faulty battery that is causing my lack of talk time / standby time , and not the packet data constantly trying to connect . So where did you hear about the memory leakage issue please Neo_VR ?
P.S. Only joking about doubting you . Just need to get this damn phone working just like the majority of everyone else here . Some seem to think because 2 people mention the same fault that we're trying to undermine Samsung's global domination and we should be burnt at the stake as heretics .
