Will using the micro keyboard of the p910 have the same effect after extensive use?
and does this happen with other languages, and or forms, I mean the p910 a or p910c ?
And will this affect the program you were last using ??

Hi,
not sure about the QWERTY keypad cos I've removed the keypad after trying out for a day... really too small to my likings, and still much prefers the handwriting CiCJot Pro cos it's so easy to write using it...
AFAIK, Chinese P900 does not have this issue, thus not many of my local users are complaining for the past year because most of them are using Chinese P900. However, the situation changes cos SE only brought in English P910i currently and due to it's popularity, many bought it over the past few months (Top 6 phone in my country for Oct 04) since it's release and now people suddenly realises this issue here, hence a couple of the above links are from my local community forums. As for other languages, I am not too sure though...
Errr... doesn't quite understand what you are asking, but as long as the handwriting input suddenly goes missing, all text input related apps like calendar, tasks, jotter, SMS, MMS, etc etc now becomes "view" only since you cannot write anything into these apps, not even the virtual keyboard cos this will fail too when the handwriting recognition hangs. However, when the handwriting recognition goes hayewire, the "Unexpected End of file" will definitely be next, but as I had mentioned earlier, this depends on whether you can live w/o text input and just the it as a phone first, and if you do continue using the phone w/o rebooting, Unexpected end of file will definitely pops up after a while on all apps that you tried to launched. When this happens, nothing really works, gotta die die reboot the phone.

So now it is not a hardware error since the p800 also suffer from this, I am intrested in this subject because I use the jot extensively and don't like this problem happening to me, and my p910 is not purchased from where i live so I have no local warranty ...

After owning 2 P800s for 1 year, I had never encounter this issue at all, so does all my friends who owns the P800. But when all of us (yes, 6 of us) upgraded to the English P900, all 6 of us suffer the same issue
Local SE support has zero clues to this and ended up swapping a brand new P900 for me but still no joy... thus, giving the benefit of the doubt that the P900 really is suffering from too little memory, I've decided to upgrade to a P910i a couple of months back... but damn, even the P910i also suffers the same issue, thus confirming it's denitely not because of memory, but because of Jot Pro somehow just hand after extensive usage.
To be honest, does any Admins or moderators of this site really read our threads? Is any of you able to feedback to someone in SE Sweden (head office right?) about this issue?

simple, due to work, a lot of people are required to standby their mobile phones 24/7 due to company's policies

In my experience this problem usually happens when the RAM on the phone gets really low, i.e. when you have many programs open and doing to many things at once. Also the phone usually slows down a lot before the end of file message comes up. Ive had my p900 for almost a year now and ive only experienced this problem about 2/3 times so its not that bad i guess. but yeah symbian takes a hell of a long time to boot up.maybe SE should uprgrade the processor for the p1000 or whatever it will be called but then again I guess we will have to pay masses more. oh well, we just got to live with these problems.

Hi, one of the reason I upgraded to the P910i is because after my local SE service centre changes a brand new set of P900 for me cos they really do not know what causes this issue. But this set still gives the same old issue after 3 days of usage for me, everytime... Like I've mentioned before, I gave the benefit of the doubt that the P900 is really causing this issue because of low memory, but the P910i with 22MB of RAM at boot and it still gave me this issue just after 3 days of usage and at about 18MB of RAM left. So is SE telling us that we need more than 18MB of free memory to launch just the CiC Jot Pro? I will not be so upset and frustrated about this but after spending more than 1200 euros on the P900 and then the P910i just to solve this issue (which apprantly has not been resolved as yet) is a huge price to pay! So who dares now to say that Symbian UIQ is more stable than PPC if you definitely have to reboot your P900/P910i every 3 days?
Also, 2 - 3 times only in a year can only mean that you use your phone in Flip Close mode and you tend to mostly uses only your h/w keypad for text input, which won't cause this issue. In Flip Open mode, unless you are using the useless virtual keypad, you will only rely mostly on the Jot Pro for text input, and it's this Jot Pro that hangs after only a few days of usage, and NOT via the h/w keypad or the virtual keyboard.
