Common problems and how to solve them
Battery not lasting
GPS and Wi-Fi consumed a lot of battery even back then. Today original batteries are exhausted. Replace with a compatible battery (€10-15 on eBay).
GPS can't find signal
Old GPS devices take time for the initial fix. Wait 5-10 minutes in an open area. If it still doesn't work, update A-GPS data.
Sliding mechanism loose
Wear of the sliding rail. Requires specialist repair. Avoid constantly opening and closing the phone.
Phone restarting on its own
Dead battery or oxidised contacts. Clean battery contacts with an eraser.
