I have a neat little Nokia cell phone and I love it. It takes great pictures, it's light and easy to use. I have been really pleased with it. Then all of a sudden it was acting crazy, ( well maybe not quite all of a sudden, more like slowly) like it was possessed or something! I almost expected a demon to jump out of the thing!
At first I noticed I was missing an awful lot of calls and my phone would have been near me the whole time. I checked the volume to see if somehow I had turned it down.......No, volume was fine!?? Next call would ring through and everything seemed to be ok so I just sort of forgot about it.
Next I noticed my speaker was not working right, sometimes it was there and next time gone which was strange indeed. Then things would go well again and I would forget about the problem........after all, it seems to be working just fine. Wrong!
Then the monster turned loose and reared it ugly head! :-O No speaker phone, no ringing sounds for incoming calls, no message beeps for my incoming messages. Even the little sound when punching buttons quit on me! I checked my ring tones and they would not play, instead the phone would vibrate and I didn't even have vibrate turned on!!?? Spooky!
Finally I got smart and went on line for help. I have learned that there are wonderful people out there in cyberspace that can answer just about anything you can come up with. They even fixed my jeep and lawnmower for me, not to mention a number of computer problems.
Well the long and short of it was I just needed to dump all those received and sent calls that I had neglected to delete over a very long period plus the same in messages. Oh yes, don't forget about those scads of pictures, download and delete them off your phone before it goes into shock!
My poor phones memory was just clogged down with stuff! Who would have thunk right? LOL! I just got used to things like my laptop having so very much memory that I didn't think my phone was any different. DUH! Yes, I'm admitting to my ignorance here for all the world to read about and comment on.
Phone is working just great now and I will try to be more attentive to it's needs.
I hope my hard learned lesson helps some of you out there if you are having the same problem and you wont have to have others know of your ignorance too. You can even brag about how you fixed your problem on your own without saying where you got your fix!
So from this " Granny Geek in Training" , " (LOL!) When in doubt, go on line and search out the answer" .
Have great day everyone! :-)
