I had the same problem with the previous firmware, I had to do a Master Reset and all well back to normal. Alternatively try disabling predictive text and on-screen hand writting and virtual keyboard then reactive agin the ones you want and see if the problem goes away.

Hi! I am a new Symbian phone user, so I am bit lost. How to do master reset? And do I need to install all new firmware or could I just install the latest?
Thanks! |

Bug: SMS/MMS/EMAIL Receive failure
Problem: When clicking on the SMS/MMS/EMAIL Icon in the top Statusbar, screen freezes and is unable to show message
Repeatable bug: No. Happens every other time
Solution: Hard reset
Seriousness: High
Notes: When this first happend, I got EMAIL. Email settings are POP3, get only headlines, receive with internet settings (Vodafone GPRS), Use SMTP-authentication.
As I said... hope SE is reading this. My phone is so buggy I think I will use it as a kebab on this weekends barbeque. |

I am still on the previous firmware version and have not upgraded to this latest one because after reviewing comments from this forum, as well as others, I do not see any significant improvement.
I have 2 comments/questions:
1. When I did my last firmware upgrade using SEUS, I also did it twice, deleting the initial SEUS and reinstalling it, as adhussain did. Curious if anyone else has tried this?
2. I find myself going to the "Open" tab under TasK Manager fairly often and closing applications that are running in the background but I'm not using. I'm not sure if those applications running in the background contribute to the need for a hard reset or the phone automatically shutting down to "improve performance", but I have not had to do either for quite some time.
Finally, a bit off topic but I want to thank Lucas for the themes he created and more importantly, for inspiring me to try and create some of my own (when I get some time). |

@masseur & adhussain
Thank you!
I am currently installing the new firmware, been at it for 30 min. How long does it take to finish the update?
And what does 'flash'ing the phone means? I saw alot of posting mentioning it but I am clueless as to what it means.
Thanks! |

@newse
Masseur's the real deal here  but you're most welcome. It took approx 75 minutes to download the firmware (slow internet connection), and around 30 -40 minutes to install (flash) the firmware into the device. Flashing the phone refers to the updating of the device's firmware.

I got my m600i today - totally freaking stoked. Just a note to say that 1) While I haven't spent a great deal of time fiddling, I'm finding it *way* more stable than I was expecting. Not a single crash or error message !yet!.
I'm currently on R1A52 for the organiser version, and I'm curious as to whether I should bother upgrading if in fact the phone is reasonably stable at the moment! If it ain't broke dont fix it, should this be my approach. My only real concern is the slightly slow system response time, which by the sounds of things may be fixed by a firmware update.
Words of experience are welcomed here

To be honest, mate, you should leave it alone if you are not botherd with the slow response time. Wait untill the upgrades are more stable. Thats my 2 cents. |

I personally always update ASAP just to find out if there's been any improvement and while the new firmware isn't without the odd bug the speed and stability alone made it worthwhile for me.

So I guess it comes down to who do you like the best? Me or Adhussain? |
