Addressing N82 Lag Issues - June 24, 2008
After several weeks to months of use of your brand new N82, you might be finding that accessing your memory stick is no longer as fast as it used to be when you just got your phone. If you regularly take photos, transfer videos and music on and off your phone, this is a particularly frustrating issue.
A solution to the issue would be to defragment the external memory of which you store all these files every few weeks to a few months, depending on how often you delete and replace files on the memory stick. Defragmentation sorts the data on the external memory in to a sequential order, thus improving read performance of the external memory as data is now grouped together in chunks.
It’s also beneficial to check the external memory for errors to ensure that your memory stick doesn’t have any problems or bad clusters/sectors which may cause data on the memory to screw up or go missing / end up corrupted.
This can be done in Windows XP by going to My Computer (after connecting your phone as a USB Mass Storage Device, or by taking the memory stick out and putting it in a card reader), right clicking on the external microSDHC card, going to Properties >> Tools >> Error Checking or Defragment.
