Belle Refresh Australia

Hello,
I have a Nokia N8 currently running on Symbian Belle.
The Belle Refresh update is supposed to be released worldwide but whenever i check Nokia Suite or try OTA through software update nothing comes up.
My phone keeps notifying me that the C drive is full and i need to delete some stuff but i have no idea what to delete. I only have 14 MB left.
If i don't get the update soon i'm thinking of flashing Delight Belle.
I'm not linked with any carrier, i bought my phone outright.
Product code 059D403
I'm looking forward to your quick reply
Thx in advance!

Maybe best to just call Nokia Australia :
Ph: 1300 366 733
It is their responsibility to test and release the update.
I asked them via twitter @NokiaAustralia but got no reply...

N8 - Belle refresh not out yet?

I keep reading that all of you have updated your N8 to belle reffresh and it has been a while since the update came out but my nokia suite doesent show the option avalaible
So i want to know if the update was released for my type of phone
O2 UK
Thanks!

Hi Surfamuit,
In the case that your phone isn't a branded handset, the responsibility for updates most likely lies with your country's Nokia. In addition to generic unbranded firmware, there are Country Variants released, so this may very well be the case that your local Nokia hasn't approved the firmware update / worked on it at all (as Country Variant releases are often tailored to the local country's phone requirements, or certain apps included etc etc).
As first point of call, I would contact your country's Nokia, whether that be your local Nokia Care point, or in the case that there are none, to contact the offices directly (e.g. in my case I would have to do that, since all the Nokia Care points in Australia have closed down). Ask them about the availability of the Belle Refresh update, and whether it will in fact be available.
Hope this helps.

Questions on FP1, FP2, Belle Refresh and availabil...

Hello,
First things first: Note that my post is not intended to ask when Belle Refresh will be available for my phone. I have been reading a lot about this topic, on this and many other forums, and know by now that I need to be patient and wait for Belle Refresh to be available for my Nokia N8-00.
My questions are:
Among the many things I read, one caught me completely off-guard. It stated that Belle Refresh might be discontinued for older phones like the N8 because of the many hardware limitations, the many reported issues and the complexity of the deployment for the many different product codes. Is there any truth to it?
Can someone please explain what the FP1, FP2 and Belle Refresh features are, what the release sequence is, and why these updates have not been released simply as "Symbian Belle updates" and identified by a sequential software version number?
Lately, I have noticed that there are more and more apps for Symbian "disappearing" from the Store. I noticed this when I tried to reinstall a home-banking application after a full phone-reset/reinstall and I was not able to find that app on the Store anymore. The Store's support was not able to help and recommended to contact the software provider. So I did. Their answer was pretty straightforward: "We are not developing applications for Symbian anymore because it's an obsolete and unsupported platform." (sic) Other software development companies gave me similar answers (anyone can contact and ask Soft Pauer, a company that develops a Formula 1 app. This company is the official software provider for "Formula One World Championship Limited" and disregarded the Symbian platform as a target for the official Formula 1 mobile app last year). My question: Has anyone in this forum also heard something like this? If so, why is Nokia telling us they will support and promote Symbian until 2014?
Thank you!

The Nokia Belle Refresh was just released about a week ago or so. So, even if there is indeed Nokia Belle FP2 Refresh or whatsoever for these phones, it might take (Probably) months for it to released. In anyhow, we will never know when will it released or even if there IS Nokia Belle FP2 for Nokia 500 or older.
If I have helped you in any way, give me a kudos!

Nokia 500 and Belle Refresh: browser issues.

Greetings.
The Belle Refresh was indeed a welcome refresh for this low-to-midrange phone. However, there is a serious issue with the browser.
With the update to Qt 4.8, you inherited QtWebKit, an amazing browser I know very well. In a desktop, it's fast, although it eats more memory than Firefox. However, in a cell phone like the 500, with limited amounts of RAM, this browser freezes the phone, due to the lack of memory. I'm also sure this browser can and will break phones with more memory and Belle FPx, since I've made QtWebKit use more than 1 GB of RAM in a computer running KDE.
There is a way to avoid this, called "user agent". Opera Mobile avoids this scenario by telling pages through user agent "hey, don't be hard on me, I'm browsing this from a cell phone", and pages adjust themselves to that scenario. However, you didn't tweak the user agent in your browser.
If you add no user agent tweaking, full HTML5 support, Flash Lite support (the much higher specced iPhone 4S doesn't support Flash), and low memory, you get a nightmare scenario.
1. The webpages send their complete, full featured DESKTOP versions to my Nokia 500.
2. QtWebKit supports everything, so, it makes a faithful attempt to properly render the page, even with Flash apps.
3. Nokia 500 has only 70-80 MB of RAM free for apps to use.
4. Boom.
Can you release a hotfix for Belle Refresh, changing the user agent of Nokia Browser to something that can trigger the mobile version of web pages? In that scenario, QtWebKit will eat much less memory and everyone will be happy. And please, can you do this for everyone using Belle Refresh?

I can confirm serious browser issues with the Belle refresh on a C6-01 device. The crash is so severe that only taking out the battery helps. It typically occurs when scrolling larger, feature-rich (and image-rich) webpages, so far I've seen this only on mobile connections (Edge, Umts), but that may be due to lack of testing with WLAN. (Where I've got WLAN I've usually a more powerful device as well..

N8 Belle refresh: Nokia Suite Backup has problems ...

Since I installed the Belle refresh on my N8 the backup of Nokia Suite 3.5.34 has difficulties to safe Documents.
Only after restarting the N8, the backup works.I assume some documents are locked. This was never a problem before.
What are these documents and where are they located in the N8. I have not created any documents myself.

Having sold my Lumia I bought 808 PureView, owned previously N8. In my view, Symbian Belle is a great system, much better than Windows Phone and you do not need to sacrifice your privacy as much as with WP. The only one thing I wish Nokia could improve, is the speed of reading emails, web browsing and installation of apps from Ovi Store. I do not know why it still so slow as 808 PureView has double fast processor clock compared to N8?
And unfortunately 808 PureView still has a bug they introduced with Symbian Belle - bluetooth connection with some hands-free car devices do not work correctly, eg. with Bury CC9045 V04. You do not hear the first incoming call, need to drop it and wait for a second call.
Apart from above, it is a great phone!

Unfortunately no-one can tell you when the update will be released for your country variant North American US N8. All you can do is wait for it to be approved in your country.

Nokia N8 Belle Refresh

Here in New Zealand I upgraded my Nokia N8 to from Belle to Belle Refresh today (Product Code 0598797 - Chinese).
1) Nokia Suite was full of information about what the upgrade would do.
2) Nokia Suite also told me what I could lose, and suggested that some Apps may be lost.
3) The upgrade proceeded smoothly, well within the 30 minutes or so it suggested it may take, and restarted the phone.
4) It came up with the default colours and default number of home screens, and in Chinese. A quick couple of taps to put it back into English, and then around ten minutes to re-instate my home screens, shortcuts, and widgets, and voila, an upgraded phone.
5) It seems smoother, snappier in the Browser, and an improved set of features within the music player.
6) the Space on C: has improved by around 28MB.
Well done Nokia. This is so appreciated for a phone that had the first generation of Symbian ^3.
I travel a lot with my business, and nowadays take just the N8, as I find it's camera sufficient for my needs. When I go somewhere exotic I take my HD VideoCam of course, and my SLR, but in general the N8 does what I want. Coming back home, it's simply plugin via HDMI and show my family the pics. On my Travel, the GPS, both Drive and Walk is a God-send, and very reliable.
Having watched the saga of Nokia mishandle the Symbian "burning platform" intentions, by prematurely announcing it's death, and then killing off Meego just as it started to show some ability in at least shoring up the share price and retaining Nokia market share for another twelve months, I started to become doubtful about Nokia's ability to survive.
I nearly bought a Pureview 808 but decided to wait, and being in the IT industry, I knew it would be crazy to go for a Win 7 Lumia product. Having seen the specs on the Lumia 920, I am confident that if I wait for a succesor to the Lumia 920, there might be a phone worth having.
I love HDMI, I love the removable micro SD-Card, and I use both a lot. Any phone without these N8 features would be retro-grade!
So Nokia, when you bring out a Lumia with all the hardware features you have taught me to love on my Symbian, then I will upgrade. But in the meantime, you did such a good job with the N8, and Nokia Belle, that I am confident it will last until you do bring out a phone that really is an upgrade.
Kudos for Nokia Belle Refresh in the meantime - you have bought some brand loyalty for the Interim.

Massive power drain after Belle Refresh update on ...

Hello
From being a minor annoyance the massive power drain from my N8 after Belle Refresh update is now a big problem!
The battery does not even last a full day now
No apps running - power save on, but to no avail.
After advice from Nokia Support I've tried to reinstall Belle Refresh again from Nokia Suite, but it didn't make a difference.
What else can be done? Is it possible to uninstall Belle Refresh completely?
Some have suggested it is because of the weather widget. Any confirmation from Nokia on that issue?

I have Belle refresh for over a month now and I keep running the weather widget permanently on first screen. Overall the power consumption is the same as before on Anna (I skipped the first Belle incarnation).
The only particular thing here is that I flashed clean the full 111.40.1511 version for my phone language. All I can tell is that in the first days after flashing the power drain was significant, merely because of intense phone usage, part of various customizations or just by curiosity. Since then the power consumption has slowly came back to "normal" for my daily usage habits.
Currently running widgets: clock, profile, weather, next coming event, BBC feed, WiFi, 3G, data usage counter, Nokia Battery Monitor, locations near me. Also Nokia Sleeping Screen is active. I gave up in using email widgets because I only use IMAP manual fetch mode and in this mode they are completely useless.

Hi Mushroomlolz,
Sounds like a problem with metadata in the music files. I recall this happening to me also when upgrading from Symbian Anna to Nokia Belle. The way the metadata of music files is handled differently in Nokia Belle and Nokia Belle Refresh, therefore you will need to locate the offending files and use an advanced ID3 / metadata tag editor on your PC to edit the metadata tag information so it will display correctly on your device.

Here is the solution: For thos who uses a negative GMT ,like me (Argentina -3 GMT) , will need to change for a positive GMT ,like Germany +2 GMT, then go to youtube with your native browser, see how works, and finally go back to your previous GMT.

Re: N8-00 Belle Refresh

Hi there,
We are located in the Boston area, USA, carrier is T-Mobile.
Question: Are we going to be able to update to "Belle Refresh" ?
When checking for updates, we are told that we are "updated",
however, when looking the Device Manager, it tell us that
Latest Update was not updated...\
Other info that may help situating our phone software:
-> Software Version: 11.030.0609
-> Software Version Date: 2011-11-26
Thank you for your attention.

I am in USA too, with an N8, 700, and 701. Seems a lot of N8's worldwide didn't get the refresh. Conjecture has been that updating all the phones was too much trouble and too expensive, especially given Nokia's abandonment of Symbian. Reading some of discussions, I gather many people are upset. Nokia didn't give fp1 or fp2 to the 700 and 701 devices either , notwithstanding the promises to do so. Bad business.

You should call your operator because Nokia releases the update for operator to authorise and push the updates out to their user's.

Hi all,
I have updated my N8-00 from Nokia Belle to Nokia Belle Refresh via Nokia Suite and the file was 306MB in size and after the update I did not get Microsoft Apps but received Nokia Maps though I had Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 installed before the Nokia Belle Refresh update and also I did not get the Colorize IT application also and I heard that Social was also updated to version1.5.234 but mine is still at 1.5.216.
Overall, my Nokia N8-00 has become more stable and performance in speed has increased with this update. I am from Kenya and received Nokia Belle Refresh shortly after Skyee announced that it is being rolled out on 27th August 2012.
Can anyone from Nokia or who has installed Nokia Belle Refresh confirm if Social was updated to version 1.5.234 or is it still at version 1.5.216 and also if Microsoft Apps were included in the Nokia Belle Refresh update after installation via Nokia Suite. Here is the Official Changelog from Nokia.
Thanks.

Any more update for Nokia N8 after belle refresh??...

Hello guys...great work on your part for providing new updates for nokia n8.... Its really great on your part...now my phone is fantastic...
Just wanted to know if Nokia is planning to release new updates for the N8, after Belle Refresh??
If new updates are coming in the near future,please do let us know sir.
From- Nokia N8 lover.

@GEN82012, this is probably the wrong thread for enquiring on updates but...
No you can't download directly from Nokia if the update hasn't been released for your product code.
Updates are by Product Code, type *#0000# on the Call screen. For example mine is 059C7R0.
These codes are country and operator specific.
Be aware there is a difference between a "Vanilla" handset brought directly from Nokia and an "Unlocked" one.
If a carrier "Unlocks" the handset it means you can use it on other networks but the Product Code will remain the original one and can't be changed.
If the phone has been repaired at some stage it may have a non standard board in it as well and I think those can only be updated at Nokia Care.
If you take the phone to Nokia Care with proof that it is legally unlocked they may be willing to load the local "Vanilla" variant for you.
Note; mine has recently updated to 111.040.1511.
N95 (RM159) V31.0.017, N8 (RM596) Belle 111.040.1511
