Yesterday, I was rejoicing when I found out Nokia outed the N97's latest firmware. Among the enhancements was "improved music player." The moment I got home from work, I set out to update my N97 to 21.0.045.
To my disappointment, I don't see what was improved from 20.x.x version. And to make things even more disappointing, gapless playback is still not a function I can turn on.SERIOUSLY!It is 2010. Can we get gapless music playback functionality in the music player? Or is live music something Finnish people don't listen to? I cannot imagine that I'm the only person in the world who thinks this is an important function in a music player. Am I?!?
The N91 didn't have it. Fine. It was the first major multimedia phone from Nokia.
The N95 didn't have it. What? Okay, maybe they're still working on it.
The 5800 XpressMusic didn't have it. Wait. A marketed music phone doesn't have this basic feature which exists on pretty much decade old **bleep** mp3 players?
The N97 still doesn't have it. Seriosly. Somebody? Do Nokia engineers not listen to music at all? Nobody at Espoo listens to live music?
I have a Bell Blackberry Bold 9700 and I just switch to Rogers! Would it be *better if I flash the rogers firmware on the phone, or leave it with the bell firmware? The rogers one is .351 and the bell one is .423 ...I guess I was wondering if the rogers would be better since i'm on the Rogers network
Just noticed that the E72 has been updated to 22.007 (at least on my product code) on NSU. I haven't checked on FOTA. As usual there is no changelog (yet). Just going to update my phone.
I Ran a firmware update through nokia pc suite as I have done numerous times. Only time time my N97 is now screwed! Lost all the home page functions like apps and options and would default to the menu screen and whilst trying to connect back to PC Suite to try and re run it now has frozen in the "Nokia" Loading screen. Is there a manual way to reset the phone to factory setting?
I've read that there is a firmware upgrade that would allow me to use the new Ovi maps with free driving directions and various other nice tweaks and so on to make the phone much more reliable. I'm locked in to 3 at the moment - and I could unlock from them for a £15 fee - but I don't know whether this will then allow me to upgrade the firmware to the latest verision?
A new firmware has been made available for the N97. I updated yesterdat & its 22.0.110 now. NO new features added. If you know whats new in this release, please reply or post a link for the changelog.
My n97 is nearly always critical for space on the main c drive of the phone. Is it true there is a new firmware release that sorts this and leave alot more space on the main drive? If it is true- when will it be on general release? I have seen some sites suggesting some sort of 'illegal' fix which I dont want any part of.
I just received a SMS message that there is a new firmware out for the N97, but when running Software Update it doesn't appear in the list. if there is a new FW out and where I can find it?
I have noticed the free ovi maps app has appeared in my FOTA updater? Will this be incorporated into v2.1 firmware or shall I just install it and wait for the firmware release? Which, btw, is today right?
I've got a Nokia E71-2 RM-357 and the current firmware is 200.21.118. After checking online with the product code what firmware I am eligeble for, apparently that is the latest one, however I am seeing a LOT of people enjoying 410.21.010.Is it at all possible for me to upgrade to this version? Or something newer at least? I'm having some issues with my E71 turning off on its own and doing some very random things.
A bit of a strange problem and I hope someone can help.Last week I checked my phone using the update phone software application and it told me that the new firmware (v400) was available for me. I didn't have time to do the update then but as I knew it was available I started doing the backups and getting everything ready to update it.Today, as I had time, I tried to do the update only to find that Nokia is now saying that there is no update for my product code. My product code is 0568325 which should be a UK unbranded code so I dont understand why I can't update the firmware.
22.007 has been out since forever, and it's basically only the second update since this phone was introduced. Has Nokia forgotten the E72? It sure needs a firmware update: -Little available memory, applications (especially the browser with a big website) terminate for nothing and "memory full" messages occur very frequently. This is actually the biggest issue. -The camera application sometimes is quite buggy and even the phone restarts after a photo is taken. -videos have some lag, especially if you zoom while shooting and using the phone memory doesn't help very much. -sometimes (especially in the ovi store app) if you start typing in a box the first two letters appear in the opposite order than typed. -The gallery application can't be terminated using the app manager (by pressing the home button for a couple of seconds) when the app is hidden. -The trackpad sensitivity could be improved (especially when using it in the browser).
I'm rather dissapointed with the E72 when it comes to GPS usage. It seems to have low sensitivity and loses the signal quite often (in the car). My benchmark is a stand-alone antenna (Holux) but even using a 6220 Classic with the internal GPS I seem to get a more solid GPS reception. Right now I'm still using my old Holux since the E72 doesn't seem to be reliable enough to do in-car navigation. While on the outside it appears to work slightly better but still takes ages for a first fix (with AGPS or without).
i want to update my nokia e75 via usb cable.actual firmware is 110.48.125 new firmware is 202.12.01.i tried it with *#0000#.look for updates.connection failed...i have tried it even over ovi suite and nokia pc suite.firmware is downloaded to my pc. but during installation, i get following report; installation failed, check usb cable ....if i transfer videos or pictures over ovi suite or nokia pc suite, i don"t have any problems. it"s working perfekt without breaking
1) the FW appears to be avaliable not for every item. Actually, apparently identical sets (E72-1), bought by the same channel (nokia online, Italian warranty), but some people, like me, got the FW upgrade by OVI Suite, others, got the "already updated FW" albeit formally having the same FW.
2) GPS issue: this morning I got to fix without any assistance (neither cell network, nor data connection ) simply lying the set over the metallic rim of my office window: unthinkable a not assisted fix before the fix. Actually, though, it could simply be that fith the SW upgrade has cleaned the previous (misleading) data....
I have a Nokia E72-2 Type RM-529 currently running v.022.007. I have some stability issues that I think would be resolved with the recent firmware update v031. I tried updating through Ovi suite, *#0000#, etc. and I keep getting the 'no updates avaliable' message.
I have E72 with this specification:E72-2, RM 529, version 022.007.I am trying to install new firmware version 31.023. Although I found out this version is released but my Nokia software updater just say my current firmware (22.007) is up to date! Is it possible? How can I install new firmware?
So far it is working fine, battery does not last like my N95. I 've been reading a lot of blogs about people having issues after updating firmware, i am currently running 1.2009.44-1.002
I called Nokia to ask if they have any updates and the rep told me to wait because pple are having issues and they expect to roll one out soon. Soon with no date. My question is, should I update the firmware, and whats the best way to do it so i don't run into issues ?
1. autofit-to-screen web text.you zoom in more, the text wont fit in the screen, you have to scroll right and left to read.double-taps are almost useless, as although it zooms in to fit the screen, most cases texts are still too small to read.learn from HTC's android devices.
2. sort-by-alphabet bookmarks, is it there ? if not, please make it so, cant believe such function is not available.
3. "true" desk-top browser. try cnbc.com, it'll take you to the "mobile" version instead of the full-web/desktop verson. i cant remember a couple of other sitest, but cnbc is one of them as i follow news quiet closely.
4. being an internet device, it must give you unparalleled user-friendliness, which fixing the first 3 above would. of course people may have other feedback other than browsing experience, but like i said, being a browser device, browsing experience is paramount
We're releasing the Harmattan UI framework as open source today: http://duiframework.wordpress.com/20...-ui-framework/At the same time, we're transitioning to working entirely in public at http:// qt. gitorious. org/ maemo-6-ui-framework. It's still a work in progress, but already you can check out this very early version from the extras-devel repository by installing the Harmattan Widgets Gallery demo on your Nokia N900.You should also be able to build and run the examples and demos on your normal Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows desktop. We will be making binary packages available as well, if you just want to see how it looks
I'm currently running firmware version 20.2.019 and when I put my phone's info (RM-507, product code 0576111) into Nokia's website it tells me V21.2.045 is available. However, when I try to download the firmware via OTA or NSU, it tells me no updates are available. What would be preventing me from updating the firmware? Is there another way to download it or is my only option sending the phone to Nokia?
i recently updated my nokia n97 firmware to v21.0.045. some earlier issues have been addressed, one of many was the lack of proper ram management, however since playing with all the various settings and features available, i've noticed a few errors and feature failures.
i have used the call rejection feature for some while, when driving one can send a text message simply by rejecting a call in the standby screen. however now even though everything appears to be set up correctly. nothing happens! has anyone else noticed this?
one of the key feature updates to this firmware was supposed to be on the music player, yet after playing with it, all i noticed was a different default image for titles with no artwork. and when tracks are changed the artwork can take ages to catch up with the currently played track, if at all.
all in all it seems that nokia have addressed some issues but have messed up a few more in their inadvertent haste to eliminate the existing issues in the previously firmware.
i just want a phone that works without having all this annoying failings and updates that don't do ay real good towards correcting all issues.
i mainly bought the n97 as a result of this promotional video:
http://www.Internet.com/watch?v=8ni_8g3lzuq
sadly the video does not demonstrate the true nature of the n97, it is fact so inaccurate that it could be a case of mis-representation.
I was just wondering .. my N97 was bought for me as a present and i use a 02 pay as u go simcard in it .. does this delay me from recieving updates etc? my SW update doesnt show any firmware upgrade and also neither does *#0000# current firmare version is 20.0.019 and my product code is 0587691 .. with these details can anybody on here find out when the newer firmware is going to be available for this batch please? if possible ? i have a problem with my gps not being able to keep up or locate me 130m from where i am and i want to update the firmware before getting a new gps chip fitted.
I have a N82 and want to reinstall its firmware without using any other tool as it may wipe the Warranty details.Here is the scenario OS: Windows 7 32bit Ultimate with Administrator rights Connected over: USB Original Datab cable. Battery: Full Phone: Reset to Factory defaults and prepared to work fine. Antivirus: shut down and closed. System tasks: almost closed all of them
Installed: >>Nokia PC Suite then >>Nokia Software Updater. Checked for the update. No Update but also no option to reinstall the firmware. >>Installed Nokia Ovi After scanning got the option to reinstall the device software aka firmware.Clicked it and it downloaded the firmware package from nokia server and game me three preparatory alert. It was fine.. Then did the back up. Done too. After that it start the installation step. In that It say Preparation and then installing software, before anything happens to N82 it Nokia Ovi just disconnect the mobile and on the installation Process it is written " Installation failed".
Scenario 02:
OS: Windows XP Pro Sp3 with Administrator rights Connected over: USB Original Datab cable. Battery: Full Phone: Reset to Factory defaults and prepared to work fine. Antivirus: Not installed System tasks: Fresh installed Installed: Nokia Ovi ried to go through same process to reinstall firmware but when I click to check for the updates I don't get an option to reinstall the firmware. Tried it many times even after restarting the machine. Then installed Nokia Software Updater .same thing as Window 7. No Update and also no option to reinstall the firmware.nstalled Nokia PC suite just as a thought of any missing file needed to run the update process. But nothing changed.Now kindly tell me HOW to install the firmware as now I just want to reinstall the firmware and sell this Nokia **bleep**.I am fed up of this and trying from last three days.
The update seems to be great with the following exeption:
It has rendered the music player almost unusable!
With the previous music player, you could press the "Back" button and it would take you to your list of music or podcasts. Now the "Back" button just dumps you all the way out to the phone's home screen (just like the end button.) Now, in order to go to your playlist you have to "options", "go to music library", "albums (or podcasts or playlist etc)" then find the album or playlist you were playing, then find your song or track. That's 5 more steps than necessary. The back button is very inportant with the way this media player was designed. You can't just eliminate it in such a way. What good is the improved scroling in the music player if you take away our ability to navigete.
This would be such an easy fix. Just make the Music player's "Back" buton do what it used to do instead of duplicating what the "end call" button already does.
The media player on a device is very inportant. The one on this device is very ordinary. But i put up with it because I am a loyal and very very patient nokia user. I waited 8 long months for this update. And now you just took my media player away. You are very close to making a 12 year nokia user switch to Android. Nokia, please give me back my "back" button. and don't make me wait a long time for it.
