Just to check if anyone had the same problem. My N9 works fine for some 8-10 days and then its display goes completely nuts. The icons become distorted, feed letters become enormous and small at the same time, colours splash all over the screen. Restart of the device brings it back to normal, but just for another 8-10 days.
Anyone experiencing similar problems and does anyone has a solution maybe?
Thanks in advance
aglio

for me it just happened as a test to see how much I can do without restart. The first time i got close to 10 days, display went crazy and scared a s**t out of me: my N9 going bad. after restart it went well again but repeated after 9 days. I just wandered if anyone else experienced the same thing

i did a reboot now but no more contacts, no call logs, no messages, no pictures in the gallery (I can see them through filebox).

Any idea anyone!?

I had this issue once and unfortunately it is a hardware problem. To be exact, the problem is in RAM-memory. I had to take my phone to nokia care where they explained it to me. I had my phone replaced.

You can test N9's RAM with memtester
README
Usage: memtester <memory to be tested> <loops>

Code:
 # memtester 985M 5

Thanks, but how to install memtester? Tried what says in readme, as root, but nothing happens. No extension for files as well (readme is easy, but memtester is ?). Little guidance please?
also, what to expect from memtester results - just asking?

It's a binary executable compiled for harmattan. You need to give the file a permission to execute and also you would have to have it in a directory that's included in your $PATH variable (for example /usr/local/sbin) if you want to execute it by simply typing it's filename.

Here's a step by step example how to download and run it. There are ofcourse countless of other ways. I assume that you have developer mode enabled and wget installed.

1. Either login via SSH or open meego-terminal on your N9. Change to root and download the memtester binary file:
Code:
$ devel-su
<rootme>
# wget http://raspi.dy.fi/ladoga/harmattan/memtester/memtester
2. Give memtester executable rights and run it from current directory:
Code:
# chmod a+x memtester
# ./memtester 1G 5
Then let it complete and it will tell you the results. If your RAM is faulty your phone can reboot or freeze during the test.
[EDIT] Above is only a very quick test and won't spot all problems. For more though one you might want to run "memtester 1G" (just leave the loop argument out) and let it run overnight.

After a succesfull run you'll see something like this:
Code:
Loop 5/5:
  Stuck Address       : ok         
  Random Value        : ok
  Compare XOR         : ok
  Compare SUB         : ok
  Compare MUL         : ok
  Compare DIV         : ok
  Compare OR          : ok
  Compare AND         : ok
  Sequential Increment: ok
  Solid Bits          : ok         
  Block Sequential    : ok         
  Checkerboard        : ok         
  Bit Spread          : ok         
  Bit Flip            : ok         
  Walking Ones        : ok         
  Walking Zeroes      : ok         
  8-bit Writes        : ok
  16-bit Writes       : ok
