Why does Nokia N95 8GB blink and restart?

Hi. The Nokia N95 is a Symbian phone and the Nokia phones running on the Symbian Operating System have been known to give this kind of trouble.

This blink and restart could be because of various reasons.

The first reason could be that it is a simple over load of memory. Your phone has a 128MB RAM. This means that at a given time, it can process 128MB of information. So your phone has a maximum processing capacity. So ensure that you do not overload it with too many applications. Remember that it is ultimately only a phone and not a personal computer.

Even though your phone comes with a 8GB memory, it is always advisable to have some free space on your phone. Every time you access your phone, your RAM would have to automatically access and process all the data in your memory and therefore it would end up over taxing your RAM if you do not have some free space in your ROM or within your 8GB memory.

The solution would be to take a back up of all your data – music, applications, contacts and everything. After this restore your phone by resetting factory settings. To reset your phone completely press *#73703#.

Remember the things that cause your phone to blink and restart and try not to overload it.
