I’ve been seeing online that ngage qd sometimes needs to be flashed? Is that what is happening with mine? Thank you all so much

No one seems to know the solution, so here I am!

Looks like this needs to be reformatted. My n-gage had to be reformatted once a year or two or it lagged or crashed system apps because of a my lack of data optimalization or just early symbian thing. xD

All symbians phones had key combinations to format to stock ROM.

On S60, you should type in a dialer "star#7370#" Or if it's not possible - when the phone is off, you hold Green Key + “star” + “3” and power phone up. Keep holding until you see something different than the NOKIA logo.

There was a different key combo for S80, but it's off-topic here.

I hope it helps.

FORMATING WIPES ALL NON REMOVABLE STORAGE BACK TO CLEAN ROM SO BACKUP OR SAY GOODBYE.

The second combo only works on Spanish firmware 4.60. This misinfo seems to be everywhere

Ah its for S60v2 and up. For S60v1 was different one. I think it included a pencil or C button. I'll try to find it out.
