N73 slows down...?!

[Jaymes_E19]

Does anybody can confirm that N73 with last firmware is slowing down as you install more applications? The movies in DivX player also play with chopping. Any thoughts why?

Thanks, Skull@

i dunno, ever since i installed the divx player its been nothing but slow slow slow

Where are you installing the apps, and what memory card are you using? Some of the cheaper brand memory cards have really slow read/write times, which will affect how quickly (or not) the phone can get to the application.

Don't use Divx, it's slow and a pain to convert to. Smartmovie is only $30 (or free if you spend about 10 minutes on google) and I've never had a problem converting or watching movies with it.

The apps are strictly on phone mem. Im using Apacer 1gb mem that is totally screwing my phone up... im planing to exchange it for Kingston (if the retailer that I bought the card from is welling to). Btw, can the capacity of the card be a problem? Lets say 1gb is too much?

I had problems also with apacer 1GB card. Exchange it for smth else, as it indeed fu--s up the phone. Mine , apart from slowing down, had another pleasant thing: if I removed it, it became corrupted and wasnt recognized by the phone anymore. Had to format it for about 7 times untill I sold my n73.

I've used a 2gb Sandisk since I got the phone (used the same card in my N80 before) with zero problems.

ATP is the best, they're more expensive but also have the fastest read/write times.

i got a 1 gig Sandisk card in mine an it works just perfectly for me

my kingston 2gig is really buggy. but my sandisk the one i took out from my sharp 903 is really really fast. the lesson is sandisk = best, kingston = peice of ****

no atp > sandisk

and imagine if u use brands like adata or ???. Once again, i m not saying that it would not work =\

 

[ChristianG]

I've heard nothing but good stuff about ATP. Sandisk memory cards are bombproof though.

I my Sandisk Cruzer Titanium flash drive.

My N73 has no problem using a 2GB miniSD by Nokia (came with the ME pack). Although I've got to admit that N73 becomes really slow when more apps are installed. T-T

 

[reagentphx]

So... is A-data batter or worse than ATP or Sandisk? Actually is A-data good at all??

I quit using divx movies on my 6682. They are going to be choppier than smartmovie converts. Oh and if you haven't seen Ghostrider you should, just watched it and I'm converting it right now using Smartmovie converter.

What's brand is the 2GB card that comes standard on the Music Edition?

 

[MamaCIta RICA]

a-data is BAD...at least the ones that i tried.

 

[BabySis]

i cant 100% confirm but it should be the nokia branded 2 gb...or hope at least~
