Carol, 19 Jul 2013You realy are new:))(joking:). This is the most user friend... moreYou're right! :-)This whole thing is new to me so I come regularly on this site to ask for help and to learn from other peoples' problems (most of which are beyond me anyway). I made fun :-) of my last problem because I sorted it out! I would be so depressed if I hadn't! Truly, it's like putting a toddler to operate an electronic cash register! But it's fun!

I was horrified to read about Anna because that is what is on my phone. Having read so many positive comments about Belle, I want to install it but I'm afraid to attempt it so it will have to wait. When Belle is installed, does it wipe out Anna?

Also, I installed Opera yesterday, only to read your comment today. Well, I just deleted it. I also finally installed App stop (Re: MdN) and am VERY happy with it. Then I installed some maps (Re: MdN's post) and was delighted to find my house on it. I am dying to try the GPS. We don't really need it here though because the island is so small and the map won't be detailed anyway because we are so insignificant...but, just to try it!

    AnonD-7982, 18 Jul 2013hi guyz! Just want to ask something, im still using anna on... morethere is no problem with any of this apps. Never was. However, you can have some problems after updating if you are not doing the upgrade good. I would suggest you to install belle refresh, then factory resset, then reinstall. Should get read of all the problems some people occured at the beginning.

      Stupid me, 17 Jul 2013The icon was one of 12 in the main menu that comes up when ... moreYou realy are new:))(joking:). This is the most user friendly UI from symbian. So, we should be glad you did not bought n8 with anna installed. I'm, preaty sure you would have abandoned the learning proccess:)). Anyhow, it is quite easy once you understand how it works. About the dissapearing icons... There are only 3 reasons this happens. You deleted the app. You have an system error and you need to delete and reinstall the app, or you moved it to another folder. That's about it. You will learn it:)

        moze, 17 Jul 2013pls help n8 has about 250 mb in C phone memory i used abou... moreThere are 3 things that eat phone's memory. Apps, cache/temp and QT. The last one, you cannot get read off. Qt is growing bigger in time and with apps you install. There are so many qt branches that every qt app you install can add something to it's roots. So, if you did allot of nokia store qt apps installations, this is definetly one of the reason you cannot get read of but only by formatting. Second, opera. If you use opera and never cleaned it. This browser by default it's alowed to use more then 7 mb of space, quite allot for the small rom n8 has. Clear opera browser. Clear default browser cache. See if anything has improved. Also, see where your apps are installed. Maybe you have some that can be moved (reinstalled) in mass memory. Other solution is a app that cleans (sort off) the system. I don't remember the name, something like symbian cleaner or so. The last solution (and the bes for me) is to use x-plore for manualy cleaning the crapp. But if you don't know to much, don't use it, you can make you phone useless untill formatting.

            Nokia updates the maps for its Symbian Maps Suite (July 2013)!
            Just go to Maps - Map Loader and get the updates. Or you can do it through Nokia Suite.

                              MdN, 17 Jul 2013How can there be space? Are other apps around a blank space... moreThe icon was one of 12 in the main menu that comes up when you press the menu button on the bottom left corner of the phone. Well, it went from 12 to 11, leaving a space at the bottom rt hand corner. The icon at the corner moved up one space. So a wisdom tooth is now missing in that corner. Well, I found the delinquent icon after you said I should find it. It had walked across to the Apps menu so I promptly put it in the Xtras file where it should stay put! It made me waste so much time looking for "Root folder" that had come up as an option. Sigh! This is a real learning experience for me.

                                Well it's user friendly to me because it can do the stuff I need, but if you're still new I suppose it can be confusing. Don't worry, you'll learn. ;-)

A lot of people don't even have that much. But try to move all non-critical apps to Mass Memory (apps that you don't need running all the time, if you connect to PC in Mass Storage mode they stop running), clean your web browser cache, large emails, don't keep thousands of messages etc. If your phone is hacked there's a way to free some more memory. But you can't get much more than 100 MB without custom firmware, I think.
