Nice that you found some relief.

What comes to that wi-fi issue, I'd still suspect your router. Check what kind of problems I've had with router from the same manufacturer and how I fixed it:

Cisco and their shitty firmwares are not that good combination with Nokia's software knowledge

I think my device reset itself back to 600 MHz. When I woke up this morning... I noticed in Conky that the processor never seemed to strike above 600. Why did that happen? Of course my device was moving REALLY slow ALL over again. I'm going to contact Dell to see if I can get a replacement. I swear something is wrong with the graphics chip or the processor. My experience before overclocking is REALLY tardy.

Sometimes I miss calls because the phone can't change the orientation in time for me to receive the call.
Many times I am in the task manager and I select something and notice the device is hung and I just have to sit and wait.
Ctrl+Bkspace works sometimes. Tooo many times I have to sit and wait on the device.
Many times I'm in the menu and I click on something and the device doesn't respond and I click again. A few seconds later, I get the drag option to move the icon then press "Done".
Many times the display freezes transitioning after you select an app.

... And soooo many more that I am just frustrated!!!!

If you use Titan's kernel, it will revert back on reboot. Check the thread or the wiki how to make it permanent.

Ahh well... I've been using my Nokia N900 for some weeks now and I'm generally displeased and completely unsatisfied with it. There are tooooooo many times I've just had to lock the phone and set it down because I got tired of waiting for the phone to respond to me.

It has embarassed me SEVERAL times in public... like today i tried to take a picture and when the clicking sound was playing it kinda got stuck, so you got this loud sustained, repeating clicking sound when it tried to take a picture. I did this while I was in a conference room. A few heads turned.

Overall, the phone tends to be QUITE slow... and very unresponsive. I have to VERY often either close apps or go back to the task manager and try to use another program or something while it's trying to open or respond.

I'm ready to sell... how can I get this one exchanged for a new one.. I'm convinced something might be wrong with the processor, or possibly I need to let it off my hands for someone who has more patience than I do.

Also, please.. I've seen the flaming of persons who have proclaimed their disgust for the phone. Feel free not to do that. I'm a linux user and have been for many years... I'm not suffering from a N900 cloud with devel / testing apps ... the most I've installed are the butterfly plugin I think and one or two desktop apps. However, overall... I really haven't done that much.

This is how I use my device.
- I have TONNES of pics... i take lots and have lots...
- I have 1189 contacts, 3234 songs, 166 video clips, images (thousands) I think... I'm @ a conference this week... I'm averaging 250 pics per day.
- I talk online... use the conversations extensively (facebook, gmail, msn mostly)
- I barely have anything on my desktop... four friends, calendar app, weather app, system app, jus tried slideshow app today
Facebook and msn refuse 2 connect ever so often.

I wish I could get a different one to see if the new one will work the same, coz this one was slightly used.

i have the exact same problems, although mine seems even worse. All the symptoms you listed i have as well as some other (you probably have them as well):

- if i play music, it will generally take 20-30 seconds to start playing, and even then it will spend the first minute generally stuttering and skipping through the .mp3. Running another program whilst playing music is currently a mess of skips and stutters, including if a message or email should be received while playing.

- the App Manager is horrendously slow, but i've noticed something else; yes it takes around 2 full minutes to load the app listing after hitting "Download" (hitting "Uninstall" will take a similar amount of time, strangely enough), but even after installing an app and exiting the App Manager, Conky tells me the "apt-worker" object is still working, often for a few minutes following its close.

i speculated that having too many apps installed may be causing these issues, but you've tried reflashing which as far as i can tell didn't really help..? How did your N900 run after reflashing, before re-installing your apps?

To me it feels like "hard drive lag" as if it were an un-defragged desktop computer, or if there was zero RAM left in it (though Conky would suggest otherwise).

i should probably add that it wasn't always like this; it seems to have gotten progressively worse since purchasing and using the phone, which is why i'd guess that having too many apps (possible or not? Anyone know better?) might be causing it.

That, or maybe there's some gnarly app specifically that's funking up my performance without me having any way of detecting it :/
