Why don't you try (1) ejecting your memory card then (2) restart your phone then after successfully entering the standby screen (3) insert your memory card again? smile.gif

hello guys..need some help...how can i delete the lifeblog files without acessing/synchro 2 the pc? im having some memory losses n need 2 be cleaned up...huhuhu..."memory low.please delete some data"

First you eject your memory card, then you open lifeblog and delete everything inside, then you put back your memory card smile.gif

This is because deleting entries in the lifeblog will also delete the original files on your memory card.

It's a stupid bug. You try deleting your messages (if they are stored in phone memory) then you restart and clean up the lifeblog. Normally it will return to normal without you noticing. I had it many times liao.

U dun have to reformat next time, the lifeblog will "return" all the eaten-up memory if you restart the phone and let it be for a while. The problem still persists even after you reformat. Furthermore, you can't delete lifeblog at all. The only way is to follow my method of deleting the entries in lifeblog once in a while. It gets bloated because all your sms will get stored in there even after you delete them from inbox and outbox!

Your daylight photos are surprisingly blur. I think something's wrong with your camera.

I also found that you can remove your memory card while the phone is still on and then reinsert it again and the phone memory will return to normal

Using automode. Only low light conditions give problem.

hi guys, do you think its worth it getting an AP n73 right now cause its just a bit above 800 Ringgit. I think its a bargain except that im afraid i might get a recon set.

Should check properly before purchasing. Please double check prices with forumers who sell here, some genuine sellers here are selling at the cheapest possible price.

I think the author of the theme didn't create the theme properly gua, or you installed a theme which wasn't meant for your phone.

I mean instead of taking pictures of nearby objects in landscape mode, why don't you take photos of slightly faraway objects like a forest, shopping mall, scenery instead of car, persons, pets, toys etc, u get what i mean icon_rolleyes.gif

Pizero is offering mainly free themes

Go search for the sms accelerator on the internet. It's free by Nokia.

Uhhh... it's an N73? seeing that this is the N73 thread...? Hehehe... Yeah, I have a 2gig memory card, and it's only half full...  mad.gif

I have format it 3 times already since I bought it in Jan  rclxub.gif

But it's ok now, by the way... I opened the lifeblog, it hanged, then I reset the phone, and it's fine again... memory back to normal...

But my USB problem still not solved. It still says multiple phones connected when I use the USB cable...

Sigh...  sad.gif anybody want to buy my phone? Still got original warranty left... Anybody?  tongue.gif

The problem will go away by itself if you leave it for a while, but that "a while" is still uncertain, however it will eventually go back to normal. I had it many times last time but now it has disappeared, dunno why. Anyway, you must be wondering why this problem happened. It's because of the phone memory, not the memory card or the RAM (please note that RAM and phone memory are 2 different things). Lifeblog has hogged up most of the phone memory due to a bug in the program which until now isn't resolved yet. What you could do is when your phone is back to normal state (when lifeblog decides to vomit out all the eaten-up phone memory), eject your memory card and then go into lifeblog and delete all the things inside it. Lifeblog stores most of your deleted messages, photos etc, and the reason I've asked you to eject your memory card first is because when you delete something from lifeblog, it automatically deletes the source too. I hope I was clear.

I've updated to latest firmware already.

Things I've noticed:
- Lower available RAM (if insufficient RAM to run certain applications, just open taskman and delete the opened applications)
- Surprisingly faster navigation through the menus, gallery and faster opening of the camera module (noticeable even though RAM is low and after several days of using the phone) (comparing with v4.0750)
- No on-demand paging I think
- I didn't notice any improvements or downgrade of the camera module
- Maybe the lifeblog bug has been patched? I don't know, but I sure didn't notice any out-of-memory problems
- They added mobiletv
- Nokia maps app is still the same v1.2

Overall, I say, don't let the low RAM thing bother you too much. This update is worth it.

I just realized that taking photos in "night portrait" mode produces SIGNIFICANTLY brighter (tried in pitch black environment: almost like a xenon flash effect) and less noisy photos in low light. Can you guys try it out and tell me if it's the same for your N73/N73ME? In this mode, focusing is slower but photo snapping is about the same as auto mode.
