Nokia :: N97 - Any Improvements With Updates?
Jan 27, 2010
I currently have a 5800 and am happy with it, but it is also a bit buggy - slow, hangs/freezes, sometimes restarts etc. I have the option of buying a new N97 for $200 and I'm really tempted to buy it and sell the 5800 (I originally wanted the N97 but couldn't afford it). I like the QWERTY and its homescreen but I keep hearing the ram is too small for its capabilities and that it's been very buggy. Can anyone tell me if it has improved with the updates and if I should get it, or just stick to the 5800?

When I first got my Storm 1 I was fairly pleased with it. Yes, it doesn't have wi-fi, nor a multi-touch screen. But it did work well. Since the 'updates' to the OS the functionality has been reduced:
1) The 'silence' button (top-right).Before the tinkering with the OS, it was possible to change the phone to vibrate whilst it was in the pouch.I found this feature very useful and was impressed with the excellent design.
2) The 'lock' button (top-left).Before the tinkering with the OS, pressing this button would actually properly lock the Storm. Now, well, it just locks the keypad and you no longer have to enter the PIN to get back into the phone.
3) SMS trails.Before the tinkering of the OS, the Storm didn't use the fancy display of SMS message.Granted, the new display is perhaps cleaner but how do you confirm that an SMS has been received by each recipient of an SMS sent to multiple people?
4) Turn off mobile connection.Ever since the most recent OS update (5.0.0841) the Storm occasionally chooses to turn itself back on after telling to turn the mobile connection off. This could, in certain circumstances attract attention, like on an aircraft or a secure work environment! Also, when I turn the phone off, I expect it to be off, and not disturbing my sleep, potentially making me liable for a CAA fine, or disciplinary action due to failure to comply with a 'Turn all mobiles off' instruction.
I know that I should be able to roll the installed OS back to a previous version (unless the update to the BB Desktop Manager software has removed that capability), but that is hardly the point. Things are supposed to get better with updates, not worse.in summary:
1) Silence Button.let users decide whether want it operate or not.
2) Lock Button.Again, let users decide if they want it to lock the keypad/screen or lock the phone securely.
3) SMS trails.allow us to check the receipt status for all recipients of a multi-recipient SMS.
4) Turn connection off.ensure that this feature works reliably.

I've earlier posted two questions about the issues.Would also like to push for theese, for me, very important improvements in a future E72 software release:Improve the search, when dialing from stand by mode (home screen), to also include the "Save As" field from Outlook, or at least the company name. It works in the contacts screen and should of course work in the home screen.Evolve the categories in the calendar so that it can be used with Outlook categories fully.These two improvements would really add a lot of value for me and i think for a lot of other people who use the E72 for business.Would really be nice to here from someone at Nokia that "we are aware and working on a solution".

Kindly pass this information to the software developement team of Motorola
1. The labeling or the coloring option to the conversations in Text message inbox would be great option(if not labels at least having an option to create folders and tranferring messages to thefolders based on user interest---this option was available in Moto ROKR E6)
2. while searching messages in text inbox i observed that the search results or based on the content of the text mesage. It would be quite handy if search results include the name of the senderalso.
3. having a trash folder which saves the deleted messages(again Rokr E6 has it). this os becasue when people gets frustrated with lot of mssages in the inox they just press delete all so it would be great to have a trash box where they can retrieve important messages Via this option.

I thought I'd start a thread so that we'd have something else to discuss as well besides the Froyo upgrade.What do you think Motorola should do to improve Motoblur on the phone? Or if you don't use Motoblur, which home replacement do you use instead and why? I don't use MB. I use Go Launcher instead. I don't think MB is bad. It's just a matter of personal preference really, mainly because I prefer to have 5 icons in the dockbar and an drawer that scrolls horizontally page by page (how do you find what you want quickly vertically?). The other customisation options - 4x5 homescreens, 5x5 app drawer that can be rearranged, transitions and skins - are also great too.

This thread is dedicated to all satio users who have complaints and complements also this thread will list all the issues the satio has and what improvements you can make in the next satio update. the consumers who brought the satio for a hefty price of £400 thinking that this was going to be the ultimate device were sadly mistaken as the satio isn't even a device that you can say featurewise even fits into the mid range market for its price. I and all the satio users want to get the features that all high end smartphones have e.g kinetic scrolling, voice dialling etc. (btw don't tell us we cant get them even the low/mid range nokia 5800 has these features). also if you didnt know already there was a petition started by me on the 16th of July which now has 1570 people signed up to it. here is the petition link http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/satio-software-update.html here is the list that we all 1300 (probably more some people didn't sign the petition so about 4500) of us want you to fix the issues with the satio and give it the features that all high end phones have now a days. * Upgrade to symbian^3 (the x10 is getting android 2.1, also the Satio doesn't utilize symbian^1 properly; also this could help you compete against the nokia n8 which has a 12mp camera) ** HD recording (the x10 is getting HD recording why not the Satio it has the required cpu to handle HD recording, this would also help you compete agianst the nokia n8)
1) Kinetic scrolling throughout the whole UI
2) Give Vivaz home screen
3) Media search function in media player
4) Make phone louder (loudspeaker when receiving call, when playing music out loud)
5) Auto continuous focusing whilst recording
6) Better picture quality e.g. sharpness, less compression and faster camera menu
7) Auto change to full qwerty mode if you make you phone landscape from alphanumeric mode
8) Integrated EQ in media player (allowing you to manually set your EQ: up all SE's had this)
9) Fix the screen lag that some people have (screen tearing), this is due to the software
10) Fix clock problem (clock losing time)
11) Proper zoom in media (When you zoom the photo enlarges but does not fill the whole screen! why?)
12) Upgrade the web browser to V7
13) Add smart search to dialler (previous SE phones had it)
14) Improve microphone quality (video/sound recording is very quiet)
15) Ability to play HD films on phone; also divx/xvid support
16) RDS in radio.
17) Change volume level and tracks whilst the phone is locked.i hope you will consider all of these for the next update or otherwise me and the other 4500 (which totals to 4500* £400 = £1,800,000) people who brought the satio will move to another manufacturer (nokia, htc, apple) also anyone feel free to comment

Since the Market App was updated to ver. 3.1.5 on my htc Desire, that when I get a new message in the notification area that there are updates for any of my20 Apps and clicking on updates it goes straight into My apps but no updates are showing only installed apps so don't know what apps need to be updated, or if already updated it does not say what app was updated.On clicking on all my apps there is no ticks in any of the Automatic Update boxes! Before the update to ver. 3.1.5 you could see what apps needed to be updated and why and had a choice if you wanted it updated or not

I've got the Lumia 920 now for more than three weeks. I downloaded about 30 apps, a lot of Nokia and also other populars such as Skype, Facebook, Twitter and so on.I haven't received any app update since I bought my phone and downloaded all those apps. I think it's strange because on my 800, I still receive regular app updates (about two-three times a week I think)So, I think it's abnormal that I don't receive any updates on the 920. Could this have something to do with the wifi issue on the current Win8 release?

It's becoming clear that after adding support for the e71 and e66 no other "old" device will be migrated to the last ovi maps.these older devices will stick to 3.01 and the 10$ annual fee per region.ok let's accept this but...
it has been widely reported that the routing algorithm has some flaws in choosing the best route. there are many examples in this forum.so i expect that it will be impoved in the future.these improvements will be only for devices running 3.03 and later or will be they be backported also to 3.01?this is quite important because a bad routing algorithm is very bad for a navigation application even if it is "cheap".

I've downloaded the latest firmware and a map for E71 through Ovi Suite. They're pretty big, so I want to back them up before the next Windows reinstall. Is that possible?

using Nokia C7 and Belle and tried to update maps. First error message said 'if you update you will lose all the other maps data'. OK, I need the latest maps. Using wi-fi I updated just my countries latest maps, so far so good. Then updated Europe OK. That was last night. Today, tried to update all the other maps and Nokia suite says they are already on the phone.The C7 hangs on 'Map Loader' for 10 mins and then quits, tried restarting the C7 and computer - no change. Nokia suite say all maps are on the phone, no idea how they got there or what version they are though.

I'm not getting any app update notifications. If I need to update an app, I have to find it in the store first, then it'll appear in the "App Updates". This poses a problem as I won't get any new updates for apps that don't show under the store. Apps like Network+ won't show updates.

I just bought a Nokia phone and downloaded the PC Suite.I wanted to put some music in my phone so I tried downloading OVI but it always stops while 'checking for updates'. It says that there's a problem with the internet connection on my computer. I've never had this kind of trouble before.

Ovi Suite erases all the maps in my phone and then updates maps very, very, slowly. Can I download the files with my download manager and then copy it to the phone, or install in the phone with Ovi? If the answer is no, why? Can you imagine another way to download the new maps?

I watched my Nokia Lumia 920 update three apps tonight. Two of the updates used the phone's cell network. One update used wifi. Is there a setting on that I can set to make the phone only use wifi to download updates?

I downloaded 4 updates and my phone rebooted itself. Now it doesn't start properly. It turns on, but stays in this bright white screen with Nokia-text on it. When the N8 is switched off and I put the charger in, it goes on and freezes again in the white screen.

out of the box my Lumia 920 is not able use my operators data connection. Some days after I started using the phone I got a notification that there is an update to the access point application. Afterwards it worked. But now I had to reset it because I wasn't able to send and receive SMS anymore. So I again have no data connection, but this time the Store is not offering me the update and I can't search for it or install it via the PC.Microsoft wasn't able to help, neither was my operator nor Nokia. Does anybody have an idea what to do? I'm thinking about either changing the operator (to one that has settings on the SIM card) or give away the phone. Punishing the operator for this doesn't sound right to me though.
