Why is my E71 so slow???

Not only has it taken me ABSOLUTELY AGES to register on this forum because the Nokia Support website is so appalling (the register button hasn’t been working for most of the last hour… a clever move by Nokia as it’s the best way to reduce complaints), but my E71 is the worst phone I’ve ever used.  I am close to getting a sledge-hammer and really letting the handset know what I think of it. Why is my phone SOOOOO SLOW?  It’s absolutely appalling.  I was given an E71 for work purposes several months ago and avoided using it until recently as my personal phone (an iPhone) is simply superb.  However, I am now doing a lot of foreign travel with work and therefore need to utilise my company’s mobile tariff which means me using the Nokia device. The problem is the E71 is UNUSABLE as from time to time (and there’s no telling when it will decide to work like this), it decides to go into go-slow mode when it take between 30 seconds and 5 minutes for the device to respond to a single key press.  What do I do about that?  There are so many little graphics on the screen and endless menu options that I have no idea what the problem is and how I adjust the settings to improve its performance.  And as I said, it tends to be a little random as to when it goes slow, although it’s normally 90% of the time I use it. Before I have a nervous breakdown please can someone help me figure out how to use it?  Thanks in advance.

I did a hard format *#7370# on my E90 - was hoping to get to the source of my constant auto shutdowns. And, of course, after a while, 28-33MB on the C: drive is a bit low. It's now on 122MB (out of 133MB). Works much better.
When you install apps, always choose the memory card E: - where you have a choice.
Also, install docs, images and music files to the memory card.
On the Ovi Store/(Account) Settings, select Memory Card for installation.
Do the same for contacts and messages.
I see you where complaining about login in here. I had the same problem, couldn't login yesterday - login no longer valid. It's working now. Keep in mind that if you joined Nokia Discussions - or any other user-based forum just to complain - not attempt to find a solution - you have already failed.
In concluding, I narrowed done the possible causes of my auto shutdowns to my battery, and SIM card. While typing this, my phone went off twice, so I removed the SIM, typed this on a note, offline mode. Also noted that the same subscriber identity module (32k, about 6 years old) caused the first shutdown of my N70 that I can remember, this morning.
So check your SIM. The network is the problem.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

  • Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    Try this.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is Bridge CC so slow?

    I'm trying to figure out a way to diagnose why Bridge CC is so slow. I regularly use programs like Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere and don't notice any kind of inapropriate lag or delays at all. However, when working in Bridge it just feels slow. Opening menus occasionally just hangs for seconds on end before dropping down. Thumnails from a gallery I've previously viewed can take upwards of 10 seconds to appear after opening the software. But the most noticeable and repeatable issue comes when trying to select more then one image files. CTR-Clicking a second (or however many additional files) can take anywhere from 5-8 seconds to happen. This, more then anything else, is making bridge unusable.
    What should I do?

    I just bought a new computer with with Windows 8.1 and plenty of all the hardware that make Adobe CC work great. Unfortunately Bridge had the sluggish slow response that seems to be haunting many people. I read through the adobe support and forums and found a number of good places to look but nothing that outlined a working solution for me. I tried all this http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge-windows.html and nothing worked. I was facinated to find people were able to create new account and found the unresponsiveness went away. I also payed close attention to the fact that network drives might cause problems. Not being familiar enough with Windows 8.1 I looked for traditional XP network drives and found that wasn't the problem. But yesterday I realized I have "Libraries" that point to my windows 8.1 laptop and one that pointed to SkyDrive. The settings transfered to my new PC when I used the same login information from my laptop. So I went in to the libraries and removed all the links that went to my laptop and skydrive and Bridge worked perfectly as would be expected on a new PC. So check your libraries. This might also explain why some people found that a new account solved the problem.
    Open the "desktop"
    Open "file explorer"
    Go to the "view" tab
    Click on "navigation pane" in the ribbon
    Select "show libraries"
    Expand "Libraries" in the folder view
    Check the path to every folder in the list
    Right-click and choose "remove location from library" if anything points to another computer or SkyDrive
    Obviously I can't say it's everyone's problem, but it worked for me. I hope it helps someone. Good luck everyone.

  • Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

    why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

    I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor. 
    2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
    see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
    Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

  • Why is the library so slow to upload to iCloud?

    Hi there,
    After a bit of hassle getting Photos to accept all my pictures from iPhoto I thought it was all fixed and ready to go to cloud storage so that I can have the same library on iMac, Macbook Pro and my iPhone.
    My photo library isn't that big, about 40Gb (4607 items) but it seems to be taking forever to upload to iCloud.
    My broadband speed isn't great (Around 6.5 MBPS download and around 0.7MBPS upload) but after several days my Photo library states that it is uploading 4570 items. When i try to run photos from my macbook there are only a few photos on there.
    At this rate I'll probably die of old age before all the photos are in the cloud and bounced back onto my macbook & phone.
    Other than slow broadband speed and apple being busy with people like me uploading, are there any other reasons why this is taking so much time? Bad settings anywhere?
    As another example my iMac has been on for a couple of hours today and the Activity monitor states that 887.2MB has been sent to the cloud. That's pretty damm slow isn't it?
    Thanks

    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
    download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
    the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
    says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
    I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
    be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
    System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
    get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
    called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
    pretty.
    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,

  • Why QuickTime on iPad is slow? How to fix it?

    Why QuickTime on iPad is slow? How to fix it?

    What version of iOS is the iPad on ? If it's on iOS 7.0.3 (5.1.1 if it's a first gen iPad) then it's up-to-date - if it isn't then your friend can update directly on the iPad (if it's on iOS 5+) or via their computer's iTunes (copy any purchases off it first, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and take a backup) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If the soft-reset hasn't fixed it, then has your friend tried restoring to their last backup and/or back to factory defaults (which will remove all content from it) and then resyncing their content ?

    why is the WIFI so slow on my 2011 MBP? its getting frustrating

    Hi Jeff,
    Can you elaborate on your issue a bit further. What is "slow" in your approximation? Tell us about the environment you're in, what type of router, band and channel. How many other wireless routers does your machine pick up? Is it slow other places with wireless or just this current location? New issue, ongoing?

  • Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
    Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
    Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
    Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

  • Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

    Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

    Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
    If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords.
