I would like to check with existing N8 users whether the phone often hangs or freezes, and a restart is required to resolve this problem. The touchscreen will not respond to any taps or swipes when it hangs. Not too sure why this happens, or whether this is an anomaly with all N8 phones or just a specific batch. Perhaps the Symbian operating system? It gets quite frustrating sometimes as the phone hangs in 2-3 times per week as an average in my case.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for the information. Just for clarification, my phone did not restart itself. It just hangs sometimes and I would need to restart it to get it working again.

Thanks for the information. I suppose 2 days before the battery runs out of power is pretty normal. If using the GPS Drive navigation, the battery power will be used up even quicker(I find this application to drain the power the most). The iPhone4 is even worse in this regard as battery packs can be added to the iPhone as an option for longer usage when on the road. I usually charge the N8 everyday.

As for the phone freezing, ie. not responding to taps and swipes, I suppose the memory may not be enough or too many apps, music or videos are installed onto the phone? What is the normal recommended memory on your phone? Currently the free C:Phone Memory on mine is at 50.2MB and the free E:Mass Memory is 13.3GB.

I did notice that the more apps, pictures or videos are installed on the phone, the slower the phone responds. Swipes are slower, response is slower, everything is slower.

Think I need to delete some of the useless apps on my phone that may be causing it to freeze occasionally.

Thanks.
