Hello all,

I'm using this simple loading function in my application:

public static Image loadImage (String img){
imageName = img;
Image image = null;
try
{
image = Image.createImage(img);
}
catch (java.io.IOException e){}
return image;
}

I'm calling this function in my app loader to load different PNGs.
It works without problems on all teste phones but on Nokia 6680 and 6681 I got reports that phone hangs during this loading loop at randomly loaded image.
Is this a known issue on the 66xx series? Anyone have experience with simmilar problems on those phones? Any solution?

thanks in advance for any feedback.

What is the Exception being thrown? Any specific messages?

According to the tester the phone is gouing to freeze and needs to be restarted. So unfortunately no Exception :-/

I have had the same problem regarding handset freeze from Image.createImage() with Nokia 6620 and 6682 and have not resolved it.
But, I think you are running out of RAM.

When I back off and create fewer and/or smaller images, it works. Furthermore, when I then use getRGB to convert these Images into byte arrays, then I throw a Symbian -4 error, which translates to something like: "no more memory".

Runtime.getRuntime().total/freeMemory() do not seem to give me meaningful clues as to how much memory is **really** available or when the handset might freeze.

Attempting to deallocate unused memory with Runtime.getRuntime().gc(); has never helped me.

Most likely due to the same issues, I have NEVER been able to capture more than 640x480 with vc.getCapture().

What is strange about this behaviour is that the phone is freezing randomly at different images.
Another strange thing is that 6680/1 device description says that the phones have "Unlimited Heap size".
Anyway, thanks for your info I'll try to focus on the memory consumption during the image loading.

I have the same problem.
The images I load are not very big and the app runs well even on 3660.
Any ideas? Is it low free memory size problem or not?

In my case, the problem was in the memory consumption although the specs says the phone has 'unlimited heap' ?!? Fortunately I could change the code so it loads only the images which are currently needed by the app.
