N80 Firmware changelog?

Is there a Nokia certified website or source where I can find a history of N80 firmwares and what changes took place in each one?
A changelog would be absolutely fantastic to help verify that new firmewares really fix observed problems.
Also, it could be used to check if I have the latest firmware (I know I could just hook my phone up and sync it, but I'd rather have a simpler method since I've seen the Nokia Software Updater program fail on me a lot hence I don't trust it).
Currently I have an N80 running 4.0707.0.7, updated just yesterday from the previous version.

Being a computer program and well familiar with embedded systems myself I was afraid the case would be that Nokia doesn't release the details of each firmware update. Honestly, I think that is a form of sort of "corporate programmer cowardice."
Regardless, you bring up another good point: N80 users certainly should NOT load the new 4.0707.0.7 firmware as it has some severe problems.
Just to help future searchers get this:
Nokia N80 4.0707.0.7 firmware is broken and bad, do not upgrade or load this firmware.

  • Does newest N80 firmware fix T9 dictionary bug?

    My N80 firmware has been updated already twice in my local service point (Finland) for the same reason: in some phase of usage it stops saving new words to dictionary.
    When writing SMS and entering a new word, it remembers that new word during the same message writing. When opening a new message to write, the word is no longer in use (not included in dictionary's suggestions).
    First firmware update didn't fix the problem - I keep thinking because I restored a full backup from memory card - maybe restored also faulty dictionary file?? Don't know is that a file that is includes in full backup.
    Second update: I didn't restore anything and "teached" the new words all over again. Now the dictionary has stopped working again!
    I checked my current firmware: 4.0623.0.41 (build 26-07-2006)
    Ran software update availability check: available version 4.0623.0.42 (build 20-09-2006).
    I really wonder why my local service point hasn't put the newest firmware for me, think this new version has been out ages ago (yes, I do realise that build date is different that release date). These firmware re-installations (because the version hasn't changed from the version which was on the phone when I bought it on April 07) have both been done after May 2007.
    Now, the question is, if I go to the service point, should they have this version 4.0623.0.42 available to my phone? The second time (in June) when I asked the newest possible version, this .41 was installed again - so can someone from Finland confirm if this new .42 has delivered to service points? Hate to go nagging there if they really don't have it
    And more importantly, (and to this I like to hear the answer from Nokia personnel or from users who have been experiencing same problem) will this firmware version fix this problem? Either
    a) keeps saving words
    or
    b) gives a proper error if saving is not possible for reason X
    In my case it could not have been "not enough memory/free space"-error, because I have plenty of free space in both, phone and memory card. So if the error comes for some other reason, like to know why.
    And no, I won't try to update firmware by my self. I tried it once and my phone died So no trust from me to that service.

    I don't believe her claim unless it was true and valid up until the N95. I pass through Wales an awful lot during my work day and therefore I have many many Welsh town and place names entered into my T9 dictionary, along with other words I have added and the few custom smilies I added to it, it has to have way more than 30 words in it.
    I'm aware of a bug that resets the T9 dictionary every now and then. The word file gets overwritten every so often and your words disappear. Never did find out what caused it but it affected the 6680. Perhaps this could be the problem.

  • N80 firmware upgrades (how?)

    Hello,
    There has been some discussion here about the N80 firmware. My N80 is orange and suffers from a few issues. Firstly the web browser is pretty much useless for me, out of memory errors on almost every page. Relatively frequent out of memory errors in Gallery whilst attempting to play a video taken with the camera. Snakes is not playable it crashes out as soon as you actually try to start the game.
    I'm wondering how firmware upgrades are peformed with a network like orange? I presume Nokia service centres wouldn't do this because of the altered firmware for the network.
    I'm in the UK if it makes a difference.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Yep, but it's a pain to do as you have to keep backing up on the PC every time you get a new contact.
    Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
    Life's too important to take seriously.
    Nokias I've owned 3210, 3310, 6100, 7650, 6600, 6680, 6630, N80, N95
    I'm a 26 year old boy BTW

  • Any news in N80 firmware updates?

    It seems very quiet lately
    Any news on N80 firmware updates?
    A version better than v4.0707.0.7
    Im getting sick in waiting
    The service command bug is really irritating

    hi guys , am disappointed too ! lets kill some time imagining what will the new firmware contain lol
    i have many suggestions many of it is stuped
    1. i wish i can remove the 2 shortcuts (horisantal ) wich is : 1.wireless scanning + 2. calender , if there exisit some option to display/remove display of them
    2. if there is a way to remove the themes painlessly
    3. i want my special files pics/videos etc not to be displayed in the gallary that contain all multimedia files ( even though what i put in a seperate folder ) if i can check what folders only to be displayed in galary
    4. optional autolock with each slide closing
    5.simple way to connect the internet using wifi because sometimes am already connected using some wifi connection and when browsing it says ( connection needed ) but am already connected , make it unified
    6.when i close some page in the net browsing it close the connection automatically , make this optional not mandatory
    i got much much more lol i know it sounds silly , but these aint hard things and dont affect other customer because its all optional lol , and ah !
    7. i have 2 GB miniSD so make the sound recorder record more than one minute depending on the memory size
    8. optional call ending each slide closing
    9. if installed themes/application can be copied/sent via bluetooth or sth ..
    thanx lol common guys kill some time with expressin your needs in the new firmware PPPPPMessage Edited by mohsh86 on 13-Jun-200702:40 AM

  • N80 Firmware

    Dropped off my N80 at my local service centre earlier on today to upgrade firmware. Got a phone call a couple of hours later from the engineer telling me that there has been 10 updates released for my phone for the version I have(I only got it last friday) but.... the phone will not respond to any update he tries to install. The phone is communicating with his computer but will not install any update. So I've since had to contact o2 to arrange a replacement to be sent to me, which will probably itself need to be taken for a firmware upgrade. Fingers crossed this one will be alright.

    Hi
    Im going to lock this thread, since the N80 firmware is being discused in other threads, and nothing is being said to merit a new thread.
    New N80 Firmware - 4.0623.0.24
    and

  • New Nokia N80 Firmware update available via NSU (v...

    There is a new N80 Firmware Update Available --> version 5.0725.0.1 APAC !! Product Code: 0527591
    Waiting for EMEA firmware!
    Nokia 5320 XM Red v4.13

    The software version is dependent on the product code, so if you are told that you have the no update is available then you have the latest SW version for your product code.
    Apart from the fact that product codes are usually unique to a country (and in some cases to a network operator), you shouldn't have any issues regarding your region.

  • Updating N80 firmware over the air

    Can somebody please tell me how to update my N80 firmware over the air?

    Assuming you have the correct software version (I think you need at least 4.0623.0.41) then you can open Device Manager and then select Options -> Check for updates. From other discussions it looks like not all variants have this feature activated.
    I did hear a rumour that if you have an N80 in the UK with SW version older than 4.0623.0.41 and variant 58 you can phone the Nokia careline and they can send you the latest software. (of course my friend might have been joking)

  • N80 firmware updates

    Hello all... this is my first post in this discussion...
    i have a problem with my N80 ... i just updated its firmware today from v3 to v5 using Nokia Software Updater... evrythng run smooth (so far..) .... however the only problem ive encountered is it wont detect any wireless network... even i try keep the closest range to the wireless still it wont detect .. can somebody help me on where did i go wrong??
    thanks and hoping to get a very quick reply

    Is it just with the one wlan or have a you tried a few. If it is with all wlan's then I would suggest reinstalling the update  or resetting the phone. I updated my own N80 to V5 almost 2 years ago now and had no problems and it is still working well.

    You don't have to SHOUT ... !!! ;-)
    The GENERIC-firmware of the 6630 is updated; this doesn't mean that the Operator-variants, i.e. Vodafone & T-Mobile, updated THEIR firmwares as well . . .
    Nokia Software Uploader looks for the Production-Code of your GSM.
    With NSU, you can NEVER change your Operator-Firmware to the GENERIC Nokia one!

  • Nokia n80 firmware upgrade problems

    Hi all i just tried to do a firmware upgrade using the nokia sites stuff and my pc crashed and now my fone wont turn on could some1 please tell me
    1 if this is terminal
    2 if i can sort this out myself
    3 point me in the right direction for the info i need to sort out my 3 week fone
    4 how much i should expect to pay if i HAVE to go to a shop to get it sorted
    thanks in advance for any help given

    Right first thing I would try is to connect your mobile to your pc and try running NSU again. If it connects to your N80 great you should be able to just start over.
    (Tips: Run only the NSU on PC close all other programmes down. and ensure your N80 is charged fully or at least plug your charger into the N80 whilst doing the update.)
    If your N80 Isn't recognised by the NSU then its dead and the only way go revive the poor little things is to:
    1: Take is to a Nokia Service Centre. Carphone warehouse is usually your closest NSC, If your lucky they will have an 'on site' techinician and he will fix your N80 within an hour or same day, if not then you will have to leave it with them for a week or so.
    2: Call your Service provider, tell them your N80 just went bye bye and they should swap it for you or at least give you a refurbished N80.
    You won't be charged by the Nokia Service Centre for any work done as your within your warrenty and if you choose to go back to your service provider you should also be covered. This has happened to me and I sent my N80 back to O2 they had a refurbished model sent back to me within a couple of days with no charges.

  • N80 Firmware Update

    When is it coming out NOKIA ?

    I was told by the engineer at my local service centre that there had been 10 updates for my N80, from the firmware that was on the phone. Whether thats the O2 firmware or Nokia he didn't say as obviously each network has their own additions and fixes here and there for the firmware. But either way something can't be going right with it as my phone has the latest firmware that everyone has been mentioning (UK). I'm having to send my N80 back though as the stupid phone wont let him install the updates as it wouldn't respond to him trying to install them. O2 have messed me around by telling me I'll get my replacement on friday, to later get an email saying its out of stock! Will try find out, when I pick up my phone from the service centre, what the latest version of firmware they have available though.

  • N80 firmware update question...

    I think I have read this in other posts but am unsure how valid it is...
    I have several N80 handsets 2 of which were Vodafone UK but have subsequently been unlocked by Vodafone.
    The firmware versions are both v4.0623.0.41
    26/02/06
    RM- 92
    NOKIA N80 (42.03)
    IF I take these to have their firmware updates done, does that then mean that they will revert back to being locked to the Vodafone network or does it stand that once a handset is unlock/network free that it remains as such?
    JG
    If it isn't fun you are doing it wrong
    N95, N80, N73, P990, P910, P900, 6230i, K750i, 8210

    hi jg01
    There are two issues here:
    Firstly once unlocked a BB5 remains unlocked.
    Secondly because they have a "Vodaphone" product code (label under battery) if you use Nokia Software Updater it will check which is the latest Vodaphone release software for your phone (not the latest generic software)
    Nokia Service Centres used to be happy to upgrade with latest generic (non-operator branded) software, but I am not sure whether they have tightened up procedures now and insist on like for like software. I am sure somebody else will give you the definitive answer!
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • N80 Firmware problem

    Hi, tell me something its there any N80 new firmware after 3.0617.0.6 because that one is good but when i access the phonebook and exit it, in my display appear for a second the phone book again but blinking. Let me know thanks

    Hi
    I had the same problem and after many hours searching I ended up sending for firmware reinstallation.
    I would advise getting Three to get a courier to collect and return as they picked up on a Monday and I had it back on Wednesday!
    Hope this helps

  • N80 firmware really needed

    come on nokia, we really need new firmware for n80!!! 4.07 i very buggy! makes the great phone useless in some functions (like ussd codes). any information about new firmware is valuable.... pls hurry!!

    from the posts on this site, I agree. BUT I'd rather they didn't hurry it - you don't want to replace buggy firmware with more buggy firmware.
