N810 WIFI Strange files appear
 

I just checked internal memory it it was down to 399 meg.
Unit is a replacement from my original because of GPS issue.
I have not installed anything yet and can't figure out how this could occur.
I did place unit in car to verify GPS function and road around neighborhood.
Could an open WiFi network have connected to unit and installed files.

There were music files listed from 2001 and some other files related to childrens software.

It also looked like a computer name was also listed.
I had to do a device clear to get rid of problem.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like the 1.6GB of US Maps (east/west) were already installed?

Did you save a listing of the files?

No open network could have "connected" - the N810 is set up as a client device, and will have to connect rather than vice versa. But you may of course have accidentially strayed into an open network (some poorly setup network, or even a WiFi crackers trap), in particular if you use some common default SSID for your home network.

It doesn't connect based on SSID so the having the same name as another network wouldn't explain it. It would have to have been a network you chose to connect to.

jds54: Were those files there when you first received the device? Do you think it's possible that you got a refurbished device and that Nokia didn't wipe it before sending it back out? I know it's a long-shot but I figured I might as well at least suggest it.

When you have chosen to connect automatically to a given network, as identified by its SSID, it will do so - at any rate mine will cheerfully connect to any AP within the roaming networks I use, without needing a further grant. It ought to warn when hitting a open AP on a supposedly protected network, but prompts like that do often get clicked away without further thought.
