Both those things are perennial solutions from blackberry - substituting Windows for BB OS o'course.
We've got a person a work with an intermittent network connection on their BB. The advice from our network provider's support is to reinstall the OS. Twice over. They've given us 3 different phones now and don't seem to consider that the problem could be with the SIM/network.
Since last update I have to reboot my nexus 7 every couple days to (temporarily) fix extreme slowness/freezes. It used to run literally months without ever turning it off and would only reboot itself after an update.
what version of Android is it up to? Some of the 5.x releases had a nasty memory leak bug which is fixed in the very latest.
Huh, I thought that was the one that fixed it. If you go to Settings > Apps > Running while it's slowing down is the System taking up a lot of RAM? It's about 400MB on my phone.
I'd recently been having massive issues with 5.x on my Nexus 5. If I was on WiFi it would grind to a halt and freeze, needing a hard restart (press and hold power button) very often.
I partly blamed it on the 5.x issues and me not going through the 4.x to 5.x upgrade process properly. I'd used various Custom ROMs and not flashed a stock image to get all the correct partition sizes etc (because I didn't want to have to do an SD card backup and restore).
Ended up starting from scratch last week with full factory image flash and factory reset and things have improved massively. Only occasional slow downs compared to all the bloody time on WiFi.
Need to try and check the RAM when it's having a slow down.
Mine's been great even with the memory leak versions of 5. My only annoyance is that now it's getting rather venerable the battery is beginning to show signs of wearing out, and the screen's a bit of a mess. I really hope there's a New N5 this autumn, I don't want a bigger phone and most of the third party ones don't appeal anyway even if they are smaller due to stupid software overlay nonsense.
I think my issue was doing dirty flashes of custom ROMs to save myself the boring process of backing up and restoring. I was happy with a certain ROM developer but then they didn't make a 5.x ROM for ages so moved.
But yeah, a new N5 would be ideal. Mine died in October about a week before the 12 month warranty was up so I've had a new/refurb handset since then. Definitely don't need anything bigger. It really doesn't even need a higher res screen.
I have an old IPod thingy. I think it's a Nano. A 2GB 1st gen Nano.
Anyway. The database is still intact but I deleted the music folder and now I've confused it. The Nano still thinks it has all the music but they don't work. Apart from one which I added with.. some software I can't remember. The Frozen soundtrack. My daughter will be the new user of this device.
How can I fix the database or just clear everything so I can start again?
If it shows up in iTunes you can restore it from there.
