Nokia Memory Full
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a S60V5 mobile phone, comes up with the phone memory (86MB) and a Memory card (8GB) (MiniSD).
This blog is on one of the common issue that I faced with my Nokia 5800 and it also exist across all other Nokia Phones. In Nokia S60V5 phones, Over the period of time, The size of the Phone Memory gets filled up and finally, It comes to a point, that phone cant be used anymore, untill memory is freed up. Its not only because of the music, apps, messages stored in the phone, but also due to cache used by various apps. Following are the symptoms shown by the phone,
- The phone restart all on its own, while in the mid of an app / call.
- When trying to open an App, it simply says, the app is exiting and but, simply it didnt start
- The most common error is ”Phone Memory is Full, Please delete some files”
If its app, music, data, it can be easily moved from phone memory to the memory card. But in the case of cache, it cannot be cleared automatically, and definitely, you would require an app, YBrowser that makes Ybrowser, an essential app for symbian.
- In YBrowser, goto C:/System/Cache, this folder contains 16 subfolders, named as 0-9, a -f. Delete all this folders.
- Goto C:/System/Dmgr, this folder contains the downloaded files that are failed intermittently, delete all files/folders in this folder.
By this time, you would have gained few MBs of space. Even if this is not sufficient, The final option is to do Factory Reset, which is as follows.
- Take backup of the phone memory, Go To File manager -> Select Backup -> Options -> Start. The Backup will be created in Memory Card.
- To Do factory reset, just dial *#7370#
- Now go to file manager again, to restore your backup.
Hope you have reclaimed your space.
Clear Your System Memory without Restart
In windows machine, Its a quite common phenomena, that the machine gets slow down, when it is powered on for days. Some of us, would be addicted to refreshing the desktop quite often, as if the system is running faster, after the desktop refresh. Some knows the truth, i.e, System memory is getting accumulated with lots of garbage. A simple system Restart is the only known solution for clearing this garbage so that the machine would be back to work with its maximum performance.
Its not only the normal windows machine, even powerful windows servers requires a periodic restart to clean up this garbage (or Memory Leakage). So there arises a question,
Is there a solution to clear the memory, without restart?
My search of this solution, ends up in the following url,
http://www.pctipsbox.com/how-to-clear-your-memory-without-restarting/
As per the above document, if you run the following Run command, it will clear the memory.
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks
Unlikely to ones expectaion, this command does not display any notification, whether the process succeeds or fails. However, in my experience, I felt that this utility improves the speed of the windows machine. And, A Desktop shortcut created for this Run Command, would speed up the accessibility.
So far, what I have told is widely known information spread across in Web. But there is a disclaimer for this information, which is an excerpt from one of the comments. According to which, this run command just do a maintenance task for the idle processes, and it does not clear any memory. Whatever be it, its a good utility, may be at some critical times.
Disclaimer : This Utility would fail in Windows 2000 and lower.
Experts Exchange
The Objective of this blog is to highlight “In Experts Exchange, The solution to the question were displayed at the bottom of the page”.
Experts Exchange is one of the popular forum for technical queries in various IT fields. Many a times, when I do a search for some technical query in Google, it will take me to experts exchange website, where question followed by solutions will be displayed. But the solutions were fade out, as if like I have to register to see the solution. Also, when I try to register, It will ask for register credit card for payment. Finally, without any progress, I would get back to square zero. This has been my case, for almost a year.
Only on today, when I go through the wikipedia article on Experts Exchange, I came to know that, In Experts Exchange, the solutions to the questions were displayed, all down at the bottom of the page, i.e, below the fade out solutions and the list of categories of technical queries. Immediately, I tried out, a google search to return experts exchange, and scroll down to completely on experts exchange search result page, voila, the solutions were being displayed there.
