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, </p><ul><li>The phone restart all on its own, while in the mid of an app / call.</li><li>When trying to open an App, it simply says, the app is exiting and but, simply it didnt start</li><li>The most common error is &#8221;Phone Memory is Full, Please delete some files&#8221;</li></ul><p>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, <a
title="YBrowser" href="http://store.ovi.com/content/23372" target="_blank">YBrowser</a> that makes <a
title="YBrowser" href="http://store.ovi.com/content/23372" target="_blank">Ybrowser</a>, an essential app for symbian.</p><ul><li>In YBrowser, goto C:/System/Cache, this folder contains 16 subfolders, named as 0-9, a -f. Delete all this folders.</li><li>Goto C:/System/Dmgr, this folder contains the downloaded files that are failed intermittently, delete all files/folders in this folder.</li></ul><p>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.</p><ul><li>Take backup of the phone memory, Go To File manager -&gt; Select Backup -&gt; Options -&gt; Start. The Backup will be created in Memory Card.</li><li>To Do factory reset, just dial *#7370# </li><li>Now go to file manager again, to restore your backup.</li></ul><p>Hope you have reclaimed your space.</p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a

class="wp-caption-text">Traction Theme for Smartpandian.com</p></div></li><p>In my opinion, 68$ is a huge amount for a word press theme. However, It is important to remember that the free version has all the necessary stuffs for the word press themes. And as I look at the Pro functionality, It predominantly consists of Support forum access, access to tips and tweaks etc, which would essential for a enterprise blogging platform, than for a casual blogger.</p><p>At first, I came across this theme on the <a
title="Cranes and Sky Hooks" href="http://www.cranesandskyhooks.com/">cranes and Sky hooks</a> and I was deeply impressed by the color, gradient, menu bars and almost everything about this theme and found the name of this theme as traction in credits section.</p><p>Also, The free version of Traction is available in <a
title="Wordpress Traction Theme" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/traction">WordPress Themes</a> directory, which is version 1.0 while the  free trial version available in themefoundary.com is version 1.02.</p><p>I tried  out both the version, I didn&#8217;t find much difference between the two, the  version 1.02 has several other options in admin section, but most of  them are disabled for the trial version.</p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a

/> <span
id="more-519"></span><br
/> Normally, when I start preparing the blog, I start with the topic, but most of the time, it wont go beyond that point and even if it goes, it wont go beyond a line or two. So, that ends up in making my <a
class="zem_slink" title="Blog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">blogs</a> idle. While the list of blogs in my drafts section keeps growing, I had nothing that is good enough to publish as  blog.</p><p>Then, there comes the new Wave, Its  known as microblogs. Its nothing but a few lines of text, that covers the gist of your thought, It just says &#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; or &#8220;Whats on your mind?&#8221; and Yes, that&#8217;s what you have heard it as <a

class="zem_slink" title="Facebook" rel="homepage" href="http://facebook.com/">Facebook</a>. Both of them has demonstrated the power of micro blogging to the world.</p><p>It not only me, <a

No related posts.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three weeks back, I bought a brand new DVD player, Onida DFX-7410.  Using AV1 port(<a
class="zem_slink" title="RCA" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA">RCA</a>), I connected the DVD player to <a
class="zem_slink" title="Television" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television">TV</a>(SAMSUNG CS21M50MEELXTL) and when a DVD was played, everything was perfect, except for the color. The color was flickering.<br
/> <span
id="more-449"></span><br
/> At first, I give my thought, over the probable causes of this fault. It has to be one of the following.</p><ol><li><strong>Faulty DVD Disc</strong><br
/> This was ruled out,when I tried with several other DVD Discs. All the <a
class="zem_slink" title="DVD" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD">DVDs</a> faces the same pattern of color Flicker.</li><li><strong>Faulty Video Cable / AV Port of DVD Player</strong><br
/> This again was ruled out, when I took the DVD player to my neighbour&#8217;s home and played the DVD. There, the picture is fine without any color flicker.</li><li><strong>Faulty AV Port of TV</strong><br
/> This was the last one in the list, I doubted on this, as the TV was 2-3 years old.<br
/> The TV has 3 AV Ports: AV1, AV2 and Alternate RCA port for AV1. I tried connecting the AV cable to each of the three RCA ports, the same color flicker issue persists. So, I assumed the common circuit for all the AV port needs servicing.<br
/> But this cause was ruled out when I connected my Camera Sony Cybershot <a
class="zem_slink" title="Cyber-shot" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-shot">DSC W300</a> to the TV using AV1 port, the Picture is brilliantly clear.</li><li><strong>What&#8217;s that?</strong> <strong>Its DVD Format (<a
class="zem_slink" title="NTSC" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC">NTSC</a>/<a
class="zem_slink" title="PAL" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL">PAL</a>)</strong><br
/> So there is something, that causes the issue when the DVD player is connected to the Samsung TV.</p><p>Today, I googled to check about cause of the TV color flicker, I came to the <a
title="Yahoo Answer - TV Flickers" href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091026151439AAnEKjg">yahoo Answers</a>. Immediately, I switched on the DVD player/TV. I was looking for NTSC/PAL in TV/DVD Player &#8216;Settings&#8221;. I couldn&#8217;t find any option in TV, but in DVD player, there is a dedicated button &#8216;N/P&#8217;. I toggled it from PAL to NTSC, that resolves color flicker issue.</p><p>So What really happened was,<br
/> DVD Disc that I have played is of Format NTSC, while my TV is PAL one. My DVD Player needs to be set as NTSC to read the NTSC disc and convert the video to PAL so that my TV can understand.<br
/> In the case of my nieghbour, His TV is an pseudo Systems, it can automatically handle PAL/NTSC, that explains why it worked in his home without setting up NTSC mode.</p><p>Though <a
class="zem_slink" title="India" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India">India</a> is the country where PAL is the Defacto standard, It doesn&#8217;t matter when it comes to DVDs. What really matters is that DVD format NTSC/PAL and DVD Region codes.</li></ol><p>Check this out for more reference.<br
