The Nokia N97

Now the Nokia N97 is a pretty sweet phone, bringing social networking to the forefront for symbian devices. However one the major flaws of the device is it’s processing power and speed. The device has a tendency to lag like a Streamyx connection on a busy Sunday (pun intended). In this case you can eitheir do away with it and op for a lighthing fast Iphone 3Gs or if your like me and you’ve been a Nokia fanboy for years and immune to Apples brainwashing campaigns, you can choose to apply this pretty cool “easter egg” which speeds up your Nokia symbian S60 device to a certain extent (don’t go expecting a 200% increase ok?).

This trick fix is applicable to all Nokia S60 models, I’ve tried it on my very own N97 and 5800 and it seems to give a pretty decent boost. Keep in mind however, a reset/reboot to the device or use of the “Switch” function erases the fix. Let me know if it works for your device.

* First change the date of you mobile to “01/05/2005”

* Open the Calendar now.

* Create 2 new To-Do (For this go to calendar-options-new entry-to do)

* Now insert the following information in the newly created To Do.
To Do 1:
Subject: Speed
Due date: 04.08.2005
Priority: High
To Do 2:
Subject: Qoukie
Due date: 04.08.2005
Priority: Low

* Now confirm both To Do by selecting Done, but don’t close the Calendar.

* Again go to options and select To Do view.

* Now mark both To Do “Speed” and “Qoukie” done.

* Close the Calendar and change the date of the phone back to normal.

* You are done; check if there has been any improvement in terms of speed (try opening the gallery for instance)
