How to reformat Nokia N8

Hi,
My Nokia N8 was purchased 7 days ago. I love the phone.
Do have a few issues.
Sometimes applications will freeze when I try to open them up. Basically, I tap on the application icon and nothing will happen. I do a reboot and the application will open up.
Another thing is that sometimes when I view photos/images the image will be displayed upside down. The image will be displayed the correct way but 2 sec later on it will be upside down. Does not happen with all images (no, I do not hold the camera upside down).
Even the opera browser had issues, when holding the phone in a vertical position it would display the screen in a horizontal position.
I have a feeling that it might be software related and a reformat would sort it out.
What would the best way to go about this?
Any potential issues that has to be adressed before I reformat?

G'day mate. If I were you, it won't make much difference. I come to realise after meeting up with other N8 users that it is happening to them too. Over the weekend I went to a few specialist shops and found out that of all the phones, HTC has the lowest complaints. I have resisted buying other brands aside from Sony Erricsson, Nokia and Siemens. After sitting down for hours amd toying with HTC Wildfire, Desire and Legend, I soon realised that these are vastly superior.
But don't take my word, go and try it and open many applications and watch videos at same time. I could not crash any of the HTC.
With respect to Nokia, I hope to see you people making sweeping changes and keep up with the times.

  • How to reformat Nokia 2610?

    Nokia has a FAQ that applies to the 2610 saying that a reformat process will remove all personal information from the phone, but then it does not say how to do the reformat!  The User Guide does not say how either.  A general search on the web indicates that Green Dial key + * + 3 + Power will do the job, holding the three keys until "Formatting" appears on the screen.  But this phone does not seem to respond to that.  It is a T-Mobile To Go (prepaid) phone, if that matters.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is not possible to reformat a basic phone like the 2610.  The only options are the reset to defaults in the settings menu or by asking a nokia care point to fully reset it (by flashing it's firmware).

    Your device is returned to "out of the box" state and it asks for your region, time and date just as when you first started up the phone.

  • How to reformat a Macbook pro 2011 hard drive?

    Hello,
    How do you reformat a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) 2011s Hard drive? I already backed up all the files I wanted to save. But since I have the new Macbook pro 2011 (only a few months since I got it) it didn't come with an installation disc, but instead already came with all the applications. I'm wondering how to reformat the hard drive so it wipes out everything and I can start fresh and what would happen to all the applications?

    Well Lion has a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can access by holding command r and booting, there you can erase the Lion OS X partition completely (all files and programs) and reinstall Lion or simply reinstall Lion if there is a issue with it (no programs or files are touched in this second procedure)
    Lion is downloaded from apple's servers, you need AppleID and a fast reliable internet connection with no bandwidth caps limiting you.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you want to replace the drive, there is software called Carbon Copy Cloner than can clone both the Lion OS X Partition and the Lion Recovery Partition to a external drive intact (excpet what's in the Trash, no Filevualt, no bootcamp, use free Winclone for that)
    Hold the option key and you can boot from the external drive and format and clone everything to the new internal drive. TimeMachine of 10.7.2 and later can be booted from it's Lion Recovery Parttion as well just to restore only, cloning is better process because it gives full access to everything like before on the internal drive.
    http://www.bombich.com/index.html
    Some newer Mac's have Lion Internet recovery built in where the firmware will install the Lion Recovery/OS back onto a completely blank/new hard drive.

  • Disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
    There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
    If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
    Buy a new Drive. Or  two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
    If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.

  • Hello  how to reformat a macbook pro

    hi im geezar   how to reformat a macbookpro .???? without using a disk.???

    Boot into recovery mode by rebooting and holding the command and r keys down while you reboot. Then use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. Depending on what you want to do, you may want to do a secure erase that writes zero's to the hard drive.

  • Reformatting nokia phones

    help me pls,, i just want to know the right procedure in reformatting nokia phones. i mean this,,, *#7370# ,,,
    do i need to remove my sim card and mini SD card? someone who really know about this,,,pls explain it very well and for the sake of others also,,
    are there more ways to reformat nokia phones aside from this *#7370# ?????

    There are several levels of formatting. You never need to remove your sim or memory cards because these are not touched during the reset procedures.
    Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc). This works in the same way as selecting it from the phones settings menu.
    Full Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
    The hard reset is more aggressive and has been know to solve some hardware issues such as non-functioning bluetooth. It's also the only method that may work if the phone cannot boot up.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers!
