My e52 is stil slow when opening the messaging options ec, and is slow as i skim through my inbox, etc

and sometimes freeszes and will not let me open my gallery

grrr! hehe 

[cjlim]

Awwww! So the Deep Reset didn't fix your phone then?

[kingsimz]

nahh

thats a pity! i think tbh my phone is the best it can be at this fw stage - because unlike others, or in fact, MANY others - ive not had any wifi problems, or any clal quality loss, etcetc - BUT

the software is sitll like... slow - and sluggish

which REALLY is a let down - with the recent firmware update, i admit- its a tad bit faster, but there are soo many ways more it needs to be improved, it is not instantly responsive- but then again, im hoping for the future updates

eg - case, the iphone had several problems, but eventually with several updates, FW, etc - it is what it is today, therefore, im confident that there should be several more updates with this phone

ON the other hand though, i do believe that on top of the updates, there are menu options, etc which need to be improved/changed on this phone to make it accesible - as a person who uses his phone for nearly EVERYTHIGN - i can tell anyone that the battery life on this phone is ABSOL  the best! hehe, however, the phone is not used to its potential (the processor, etc) - therefore, it is a MASSIVE let down, and still needs to be worked on. BIGTIME. hehe

What firmware version are you on?

[kingsimz]

22.009

the latest one i think 

[cjlim]

Yep, that's the latest, only released 12th November. I don't think you will see another update this side of Xmas I'm afraid.

[kingsimz]

ohh dear, when do you think the next one may be aorund?

[Captain_Jon]

I expect we will see another one in Feb/March if Nokia's previous firmware update roadmaps are taken into account.

Because you have a large card (16GB) I suggest formatting it and increase the allocation unit size. A smaller allocation size is more efficient at space, but can be slow to read and copy due to the higher number of searches. Try experimenting to find the optimum allocation size for your card.

[cjlim]

The first few are usually quicker and then they slow down. I am only guessing but I think around 3 months?

[woookash]

I fully fully agree..

Nokia: PLEASE, PLEASE, upgrade this firmware..

[rozer]

I also have a very slow gallery! I would like to update the firmware to v22 but my phone is saying no updates available... on vodafone ireland so I may be waiting a while to update firmware. Should I get a better SD card like class 4 or 6?

[kingsimz]

 how do i incfease hte allocation unit?

[cjlim]

What do you mean by hte allocation?

[Captain_Jon]

When you format a card, you can select the allocation unit size (cluster size). The default can be as low as 512 bytes and can be as high as 32K. What this means is, if you format a card with 32K cluster size whenever you save something that is less than 32K, it will still allocate itself to the whole unit (in this case 32K). Meaning a 100byte text file will still occupy 32K of space. Not efficient, but it tends to translate to quicker read and write time.

You can change the cluster size when formatting your card. On a Windows system, right click on the card and select format. At the pop up box, there is an option that allows you to change file system and allocation unit size.

mmmm i tried something like this- didnt work properly

This may not be relevant, but I noticed once that some themes slowed my phone, like when texting or browsing the gallery. I tried other themes and it was okay again.
