QUOTE(juicerer @ Nov 7 2010, 07:12 AM) I bought the Nokia C7 a few days back, and it hanged more than 10 times on the first day! I had just get Nokia N8Nokia N8 from online shop.The Nokia N8 is the first device using the Symbian^3 operating system from Nokia (or anyone), Along with the new platform, this smart phone also features a 12 megapixel camera with HD video recording, HDMI output, and an enhanced AMOLED touchscreen which places it right in the mix of today's hottest models.I did a google search, and it turns out that hundreds of other people are experiencing the same problems: 1. Phone hangs then restarts after a few seconds 2. Unable to download and/or use apps from the Nokia OVI Store 3. Worst one - phone hangs, shuts down, then cannot be started up again for a while, like 30 minutes to a few hours These problems occur VERY frequently. Apparently Nokia rushed the launching of these phones to compete with Android based phones before complete testing has been done, so the software is still in its early stages. No sign of when the new software version will be released. You can check out this forum to see some of the complaints and Tim Allen, Product Manager of the C7 itself posts about the phone: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96993 P/S: The C7 is REALLY nice to use, touch screen is responsive, interface is smooth and beautiful, so if you really want one, I suggest you wait until the problems are fixed.  In my time with the N8, I've looked at how much it measures up to its competitors, as well as how it compares to its predecessor, the Nokia N97 -- this company's previous attempt to keep its devices in the hands of the mobile elite. In some respects, it matches up well, in others, there's still some work to be done. After using Nokia N8 seriously I don't have to face any problem like this. Hope you will find it helpful. |

yeah, my c7 hangs for no reason too, usually it says phone to restart, sometimes it says please insert SIM card.
WTF is wrong? so it is hardware issue? I'm actually getting sick of it! This post has been edited by anggun: Dec 16 2010, 07:43 PM |

Any unofficial site that discuss more on how to improve Symbian OS? It seems N8 is not a recommended phone... MY wife still stuck with her 6500....

My C6-01 seems fine. Some usual Symbian lag at the usual places but otherwise it's fine. No hang whatsoever. Been abusing it heavily since i got it.

i think Symbian is still not so stable comparing with iPhones or Androids, the only thing this phone wins is the 12MP camera & HD recording
It's OS cant be compared with other smart phones...hope Nokia will do sumting abt it or else there will be more & more loyal customers choose to leave it |

They have big plans next year. Dual core, optical zoom, new browser, revamped UI, etc. As a long time symbian user, symbian^3 is a nice update with lots of big and small but useful changes. They might not have much market in the USA, but elsewhere they're still rockin'. At least, they're in Tron Legacy.

Hello All C7 and N8 user..
I would like to share my experience.. I currently use both C7 and N8, and I do a lot of heavy workload on it.. Everything goes worst when : 1. There a lot running application like reading pdf file, quick office, web surfing, playing music in one time.. 2. When I start using an after market theme. (Really Quite Disappointed).. 3. When I do not turn off my phone for a week.. yes.. It is the worst ever.. But, It doing well and i really fell in love with them when : 1. I use default theme.. 2. Clear all history in web apps once i done my surfing. 3. Close all apps properly every time when not use it anymore. 4. Never use fancy app like dummy apple slide to open apps. 4. Every night, I shut down this phone for 30 min. (to clear all data maybe.) I assume, this is just like pc with atom compare with i7 pc.. Need more patience rather abuse it with heavy load.. Pity it...  |
