    What is "Preparing Security Options" when trying to End Task?


    Hello,

    What does "Preparing Security Options" mean when trying to use "End Task"?

    Today the browser was very VERY slow and crashed continually (grrrr). It was very difficult to get "End Task" to function at all, and each time this was tried, the screen read "Preparing Security Options".

    Also, "End Task" did not function normally. I had to right click somewhere and then select a way to actually shut down the browser.

    Any info and/or advice appreciated.

    Thanks.

    :)

    " Waiting for approval " until when !????

    It means that it's waiting for approval from your operator and it has nothing to do with Nokia.

    You could call your operator and ask about this approval, someone in technical service may know that how long it takes to approve the newest firmware. (For some reason, every operator has to approve the firmware updates and only after that their clients
    can do the update)
