  1. Memory Problem when screen is off


    I have been using Win10 for the past 4 or 5 months and in general I have been pleased with its performance. However over the past couple of weeks I have noticed an issue when I switch off my screen and leave the machine idle. After about 5 mins I can hear the sound made when a USB is unplugged, and then immediately after the sound made when a USB device is plugged in. This continues intermittently for an hour or so.

    If I return next day, when I switch the screen on the memory usage is sky high, usually I have lost my desktop and all icons but slowly the system recovers itself. My machine has been on an hour this morning but the memory usage is still running at 670mb or 77%.

    Also I am sure this is related, when I reboot my machine I lose the position of my desktop icons.

    How can I debug this issues, it's a shame because this is spoiling my experience of Win10 and I'm not so keen to tell everyone how great it is as I was during the first weeks of using Win10.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    N800 - OS2008 Mail Memory Bug?

    Here is the latest.

    Had 79MB available memory with 9 messages in the inbox - which I deleted. Still had 79MB of available memory. Switched off the system & turned it back on - 78.9MB available memory now. So, some memory freed up.



    As a rule I don't switch the system off, rather going off line & Locking the touch screen - even when recharging. Part of the problem?



    I'll look at the use of Sub-folders next.

    help please 5800XM

    i've had my 5800XM about a year and i've had a few problems. It went off for repair and was fixed sort of. When i power on my phone it now sticks on the white nokia screen and doesn't go any further. The only way i can get around this problem is to take
    out the battery[i can't turn it off when it does this] remove the memory card, turn it on without the memory card, let it boot up. Then turn it off, put the memory card back, and turn it on. Pheww! What a performance! But at least it turns on and doesn't stick
    on the nokia screen. Please someone help cos i don't wanna have to and shouldn't have to do this everytime i boot up my phone! My firmware is 31.0

  4. Memory Problem when screen is off

    I think I have identified the problem, I had recently installed a Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle which Windows installed drivers for automatically. I tried the drivers on the provided manufacturers disk and since then the issue seems to have stopped.
