I sometimes get this on my N-Gage too.

[tzeonn]

well, no solutions for it. juz live wif it.

[vic_2010]

so u say it's basicly normal??

[gophermaster]

Sort of... Symbian phones aren't the most reliable phones around.

[vic_2010]

Crap, guys!
Fone turned off again for the 2nd time in 2 days!
Dun know what to do, mainly powers off in the night!
MAybe I shoul try a new battery or somepin??
Any help will appreciate!
Thanx, Victor.

[vic_2010]

Hey, guys! Maybe it's somehow connected with the apps I have, i have another post called Help Neede, can ucheck it out, i put there all the apps i have right now, if somepin looks suspicious to u, post ur response here!
Thanx, Victor.

My phone has powered off a couple of times in the night. It seems it just does it when I'm not looking. It happened after I upgraded to v4.13 firmware.

[vic_2010]

I think it's a software bug, or something.

[Musicb0ffin]

Is everyone with the problem running firmware v4.13? I am and having a similar problem, so might be an idea to get downgraded to v3.xx and see if that helps. I had no probs with v2.50, so v4.13 could just be a dodgy version.

[vic_2010]

I have 3.16, and u know, same prob!
So how is 2.50, comparing to 4.13??
Thanx, Victor.

[vic_2010]

and, can u go to the service center and downgrade the firmware??

[gophermaster]

Most likely, you would be able to.

[vic_2010]

and if u don't have a warranty, how much does it usually cost??
Thanx, Victor.

[tzeonn]

hmmm... not sure for ur place, but it costs ard $20-$30 in my place.

[baselsw]

I Have 2.50 and i had the same prob... it's memory prob when your memory is overloaded the phone reboots to turn off the apps....

[Musicb0ffin]

Yeah, looks like its not a firmware problem then... Much easier to fix if its just apps...

[vic_2010]

Hey!!
What do ya know!!
Awesome idea! So now when u go to sleep just hold the menu botton and close all the running apps, right??

[Musicb0ffin]

Well, its not quite that simple. Some apps can run in the background still. There was an app that let you close those apps down. I can't remember the name of it, im sure someone else can.

[vic_2010]

Can any1 help us out to find this program??
Thanx, Victor.

[vic_2010]

found the program!
It's called task manager, can find on aivanet!

[Musicb0ffin]

Yeah, thats the one.

[vic_2010]

What do the hidden and system hidden apps do??
Thanx, Victor

[Musicb0ffin]

Well, some are apps you've installed and im sure about system apps. I think they are more like processes, like in windows NT, 2000 and XP. I'll have to have a play and work it all out.

[vic_2010]

Ok, just let us know!

And, I read somewhere if u put a folded paper on ur battery, it suppose to help! i did the same think, do u all think it's gonna help??
Thanx, Victor.

[Iceman5]

i have no idea... why dont u test it and tell us?

my 6600 have turned of 2 times. thats all. so it isnt really bothering me. i think its true that the ram thingy will work. u can use appman or somthing to compress ram, or just close other open tasks

[vic_2010]

So u think i should take this freakin paper from my fone??

And how much free ram u have to have in order to play doom??
Thanx!

[vic_2010]

An also, u think that the problem with inexpected shut downs is cause by the running app in the background??
Thanx again, Victor.

[vic_2010]

So, guys, ya think i should take the paper out? Or leave there??
Thanx, Victor.

[Iceman5]

dont worry ur phone wont EXPLODE.... just try. even we dont know everything

[vic_2010]

Ya, i know!
Well, just for know, i took it off, if it's gonna power off again, i'll stick it back!
Thanx, Victor.
