@bickit
The most obvious cause is as i suggested earlier is the totally unnecessary and resource sapping Anti-virus software it is totally pointless and uses large amounts of both Ram and processing power. Get rid of it and see if it makes a difference i am pretty sure this is the main culprit but running lots of apps that are constantly running is always going to effect the performance of your device.
I have Fring but not running constantly and for Mobile Weather i run manual updates when needed, don't really understand why you would need mig33 and Fring although i am now running Windows Live but again just when i need it is not just left running.
My E61 boots in 37 seconds i have 15 apps all installed to the phones memory, 4 themes in the phones memory, 1 ring tone and 2 message alerts in phone memory. I have 2gb card with Music , Pictures, Video's, and Documents with 549mb free on the card and 42.3mb free phone memory.
I am running V 3.0633.09.04 and have no issues with volume 70% is very loud and @47 my hearing is not as good as it was when i was younger.
To put it simply the combination of the apps you have installed and how you are running them is what is causing the delays you are experiencing and many of the apps seem to be duplicates. I would advise looking at what you really need to run and use and just install the essential apps the WiFi finder for instance is also a resource hungry app especially if left running always and especially on boot up and IMO a total waste and unnecessary.
These mobile devices have limited resources and i notice no mention of a good Task Manager which IMO is an essential app to have a use to help improve your devices performance.

@bickit
Dunno why... There's a little performance difference when using the in built flash mem instead of the ext mem card. But i wont fill up the int mem. There's always some 15 odd MBs free.
The E61 too has acute low RAM issue when an activ user uses it. I'v got frnds with E62 & E61i. They complaint of low RAM n says they r forced to restart d fon every now n den.
I suggest u wait 4 d E61i's successor...

@ali-baba,
what are your friends doing?
i use my e61 heavily (for 1, I have no proper internet connection where I live, so it's my "laptop", really)...I never had to restart it?
What applications are left running unnecessarily?
i often have to edit large e-mail attachments on the go, checking websites simultaneously, istening to music at the same time, etc etc...
i'm not saying the e-series has the best ram ever, but ...i must be doing something wrong

NB: this is my friends E61, nt mine. Havent bought it yet. Mig33 is a chatting application, and its necessary to keep it on, as our friends are in remote areas. Im going to remove the antivirus and see what happens. Otherwise, didnt the E61i have its RAM issues sorted? And, i would like to have the E61i by october. Its a good alternative to the ultra buggy P990 and, ive got no idea when the successor is being released. Compared to the E65, the E61i seems to have a similar spec. I have to ask, has anyone had a virus detected in the phone? ALL my smartphones had never detected one, which leaves me wondering, why is it installed?

Never had a virus prob on 6680 (and we had 3 at work for 1 1/2 years), e61 (10 months) or treo750v... So your antivirus was preinstalled? Guess some deal between antivirus maker and nokia or the network? Like pc's that come with loads of useless programmes that all start on boot just to show you how slow stuff can get?!
nah the disadvantage of antiv. on far outweigh the minimal risk of infection - imho it's just a market niche they want to exploit!

How unnecessary. Btw how long does the battery on an E61 last when its on wifi mode?

...sorry, no idea! Here in the wild west of ireland people think wifi is food for gay dogs
haven't had a chance to try! But I can surf the internet "forever"...well, compared to k750 or my lady's w810 or my treo, so I would assume in comparison wifi-battery life should be good, too!

Hi Bickit,
I have approximately 25mb ram on boot up up and by using Best Taskman for some control never see much under 19mb Ram. My battery lasts for days with out the need to charge even if i run Tom Tom for some journeys but as i said i don't lave loads of things all running when not needed. I also noted that it says mig33 Beta and many users over various platforms have mentioned that it drains battery and seems to use a lot of Ram. The E61i is really not that different from the E61 especially in the Ram department but using a Task Manager means i have never needed to reboot my E61.
As to how long can it run using WiFi there are to many variables for a straight answer, is it just on or is the device browsing and sending IM messages, how close to the Network Router is it but the Li-Polymer battery is an excellent battery with plenty of juice IMO.
I have tried to explain my usage and why i don't have any problems and also that people really need to understand the limitations of any device. If people really need to use it the way you are saying they need to have the next generation of devices like the E90 that has the extra Ram as unfortunately Symbian 9.1 does consume a lot of Ram. At least until hopefully early next Year when we should start to see OMAP3 series chips and a newer version of Symbian being used which should improve the situation greatly.
Marc

Hi All,
I've just bought an E61i Sim Free. Going to be using it on the Vodafone IE network. Anyone know if i'm going to have to change settings on the phone to be able to browse the Web etc??
Also, to anyone who already has the phone - how is the screen for non-scratching? I've currently got an N70 - and i have to say that the screen is virtually unscratchable. By far the most durable screen on a Nokia phone that i've had so far.
How does the E61/E61i compare i wonder?? |

Hi Paddy, Have been using e61 on vodafone.ie for 10 months! The settings wizard will setup correct gprs sttings for you! easy...
chose MISP as access point rather than wap (are you prepay? MISP only euro2.00/mb!!!)

Hi Maggflodd,
Should i call vodafone and tell them i've got an E61 then (even though it will be the as of yet unapproved by vodafone E61i)??
Yep, i'm on prepay alright - 2.00/mb isn't bad at all
How do you find your screen for scratching? |

Mine is unregistered, but I suppose you can register it online as an e61 (but yoyu'd only need that for unlocking, wouldn't you; and yours is probably unlocked!?)!!!
10 months, no scratches...but I treat it well!

I was under the impression that there were different network settings for different handsets... and that it's best that vodafone know what handset you're using? Probably very naiive of me.... |

@Paddy_Fowler
You should find on inserting the Sim the phone will automatically collect all the settings. But if you need or want to set up E-Mail or any other settings just go to this link and it will send them to your phone.

That should sort out anything you want to do, re the screen mine is also still mint but then i do look after my things and use a good quality case.
