I have written here many times warning people not to install S60v5 software, nor third party software, unless they are tested and published for Symbian 3 by Ovi store, but it can still cause some problem. Don't install so many software the same time. Do it gradually and if something wrong, immediately remove it and it would not hurt so much.

connect the n8
go to software updates
it will till you your N8 is up to date, and will give you the option to reinstall the firmware
do that... should download firmware, then reinstall it on ur phone
hopefully it works :P... if the problem still persists, then you obviously got a "faulty" handset,return it, i own a N8, and not a single restart/freeze so far, been a week..

I did the same. I thought of returning N8 and taking Samsung Galaxy S but the dealer told it is not possible. Complany will be sending a new N8 within 2 days.
Hope the new N8 of mine doesn't dissapoints me. I'm very much confused with this decission. I must have gone for Samsung Galaxy S.
BUT still Nokia N8 is the one having all extra features that even Galaxy S doesnt have it.
So wait for the next firmware update. It might resolve all our issues.

Don't know why hard reset doesn't work. It should work. It seems something wrong.

i have friends who own iphone and one who own samsung galaxy s and they all complain about the battery. so whoever is complaining about the battery life of this phone is probabaly having his very first smartphone. all smartphone especially those that are this slim have short battery life.

If yes, it's better to flash the new firmware and install all the updates. You can go to Nokia care center and people there should help you.
My phone doesn't have problems at all. Before it restarted after I installed f-secure anti-thief software. I immediately removed the software and it didn't restart anymore. It works pretty stable since then except occasionally opera crashes.

Anonymous, 04 Nov 2010Seriously buddy....don't kid yourself!!!! Symbian 3 is so full of bugs and errors! My N8 hasnt failed me so far. Just wait for new updates and im sure all of the bugs will be fixed. Even the so called great iOS and android OS have their fair share of bugs too. Nvr in history has a OS been released without any bugs and probs.
