Cannot update to Symbian Anna (Nokia N8)

So this morning I woke up, searched for a software update and there I saw it, 'Nokia Software Device Update' and I was very excited.
I then downloaded Ovi Suite, as I didn't have it installed already and tried to update my N8 to symbian anna.
When I connect my N8 via the USB cable, it searches for updates but says that there are no updates availible. Sometimes I get a message saying something about a connection problem. I have insured that no firewalls are blocking Ovi suite from the internet so everything should be fine.
I have noticed that some people where managing to update over the air, which I find easier than using Ovi. First of all (on my N8) I went to applications and then SW Update. This finds the update, but only allows you to update it via a PC, giving no option for a direct download on the phone. I then went to settings, phone, phone management, device updates, click options and selected 'check for updates'. Everytime I use this option it displays 'No Updates Availible'.
I have waited so long for this update and I think its outrageous in this day and age that something so simple as a software update, that most other phone companies seem to be able to enable so easily, is made so difficult to do by Nokia.
Incase it helps, I live in the UK and my phone network is Orange.
Someone, please help me

Use old method of Nokia Software Updater It works

QuickOffice Pro fails to Install on Symbian Anna

I have a Nokia N8 with Symbian Anna. I purchased QuickOffice Pro from Ovi Store and it downloads but then fails to install. The trial version from the QuickOffice site also fails to install. Before I purchased QuickOffice I deleted the version of QuickOffice that came with Symbian Anna.
Now I am left with no QuickOffice even though I have paid for it.
Can someone suggest what I should do so I can install the QuickOffice Pro that I have paid for.

Go to Solution.

I emailed quickoffice tech support and they gave me a solution that works.
My unit is a C6-01 that I recently updated (successfully) to symbian anna including the 2 updates that came later.
Here's how I did it as per their advice:
Before you start, download the .sis file for the quickoffice pro version 7 (39) that you purchased from Quickoffice. You will use this later.
1. backup your phone using nokia ovi suite, if you want to shorten this, backup only the important data like phone contacts, device settings, applications settings, calender etc. You can do away with the backup of music, picture and video files as those take time.
2. reset your device as follows which I quote " At the main screen, enter *#7370# – The default lock code is 12345. This will restore the device to its original state, removing all user data, contacts, and third-party applications you may have installed."
this will tell you that the reset will also erase the contents of your memory card, if you dont want your memory card erased, remove it before resetting, then proceed to resetting. If you have entered your own lock code, use that instead of the default lock code 12345.
after you enter the lock code, the phone will shut down and reboot with a white screen only. Wait for it to compelete as it takes some time.
3. After the resetting is complete, all softwares that you installed will be temporarily gone (since you took out the memory card) but you can recover it later.
4. connect your cell to your PC and use Nokia Ovi suiet to install the Quickoffice pro 7 that you downloaded.
this should install the quickoffice pro successfully.
Check if the quickoffice pro is working.
5.then re-install your memory card which you removed in step 2. The restore the contents of your phone using OVI suite.
6. Finally, update your phone software using ovisuite. It will say that it has 2 or 3 updates pending. Just proceed with the update since that update will not erase the quickoffice pro that is already installed.
that's it. you should have a working copy of QUickoffice pro 7.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: This worked on my Nokia C6-01 updated to Symbian Anna. I cannot speak for other nokia models.
I hope this helps.

Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...

Dear Nokia,
It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen. Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation*

Symbian Anna Third Party Application Icons

I have got a Nokia N8 recently updated to Symbian Anna. I think that, except for a slower web navigation, the new Anna interface has been improved a lot and the new look and feel of its icons system is finally really nice (closer to the competitors). However there are still some apps, especially from third party developers, that still have the old icon look. I think that this is quite frustrating for the user experience that should be clear and agreeable. Do you think that someday in the next future this will be fixed? I think that Nokia must consider this "little details" if wants reach the quality of other competitors OS and user experience.
Regards

If you install a new theme , such as Dark Solid , it will change all the icons to the squircle shape !

C7 symbian Anna 2/2 again...

Today my phone showed me two new updates: the Symbian Anna service pack and Symbian Anna 2/2. This is strange because I updated my phone to SA a month ago or so and it seemed to me that both parts were installed at that time. Does my phone show this update in error or is it a legitimate update that I should install?

anna service pack is a new additional update for symbian anna, when i updated mine with the service pack, my phone operate well and faster, no hanging. But the anna 2 of 2, may be u did not update it earlier after the symbian anna update. So i would advice u to do the update.

Nokia N8 with Symbian Anna cannot add new maps

Hi,
Monday October 24, 2011, I received the new Symbian Anna software update for the NAM version. All my installs went correctly except when I try to download in Ovi Map to "Add New Maps".
I can't "Add New Maps" with the update from my device or throught Nokia Ovi suite.
The error message in Ovi Map from my device is: "Could not download list!"
The error message in Nokia Ovi Suite is: "Couldn't connect to the service"
" There seems to be a problem with connecting to the online map service."
"If the problem doesn't go away, please try again later."
Now it seems the problem to be not solve since because I still have the same message when I try again.
I would like to know what happen? Why I can't download new maps for the Ovi Map?

Ovi Suite - Cannot update C7 to symbian Anna

Hello
I'm trying to update my mobile phone to symbian Anna, but I can't neither via Ovi Suite nor Wi-Fi connection. There is always error, that says, my mobile can't be updated (error 12017). I've reinstaled Ovi Suite and it didn't help. Restarting my mobile doesn't help either. There is still about 1MB of Symbian Anna 1/2 update to download, and it can't download it - it just start to instal and fails.
I also can't use Ovi store from my mobile - it happened about month ago. And also can't reinstal ovi store - 2mb of download left and it tries to instal it -.-
Please, help!

Solved. I had to restore default settings of my phone and after that, Symbian and all other things were instaled properly.

Does Nokia Co have a solution to E7 Symbian Anna P...

This will be my last complaint to write about my Nokia E7 and its problems associated with Symbian Anna update.
I have intalled all the 2 updates but my OVI store does not work, I cannot install applications that I bought when I had symbian^3 firmware and don't want to go into details again.
My Question to Nokia company is: Do you have a solution to our complaints about symbian anna or not? If you have it what is it not suggestions as you have been giving us. If you don't have a solution can you please release the downgrade to Symbian 3 firmware so that we go back but be happy using the phone as almost everybody in the world is complaining about symbian anna and it seems you are not listening..
Give us a solution or will sale my lovely Nokia E7 phone after two weeks from today

Having your phone re-flashed will resolve the issue, that's what I've had to do, and all is well now !

Nokia N8 - cannot update device software and Maps ...

A couple of days ago I tried to update my N8-00 software using Ovi Suite (installed version 3.1.0.91). It reported that there were various updates available, including Ovi Maps and the device software itself and also some other apps (mostly games). I selected the Ovi Maps and device software for update and clicked Next ... but at some point soon thereafter the update failed for no apparent reason.
Now, when I check for updates using Ovi Suite it tells me that my current device s/w is v014.002 and that an update is available. But when I click on the Update button and come to the next screen, the device update is not shown in the list on the next screen of the wizard. Instead, a list of useless apps and games is shown, none of which I'm interested in. I cannot click the Next button because nothing is selected (the device s/w item is not shown in the list). Clearly I can only continue if I select on the these games and that is all that will be installed.
If I check for updates on the phone itself over WiFi I only get the message that no updates are available.
Now I've previously had issues with updates done directly on the phone where the downloaded update installs got corrupted or something and was able to recover using the steps in this blog posting:
http://www.orison.biz/blogs/chall3ng3r/?p=2871
but this procedure is not helping in this case, even after deleting the E:\PRIVATE\20019119 folder.
So my question is: does Ovi Suite have a similar issue in that it stores corrupted/incomplete update installers in a folder and is unable to recover from this situation, thinking that those updates have already been installed? If so, where is that folder and what should I delete to ensure that all updates are again available for installation.
Would removing and reinstalling Ovi Suite help in this case?

@archie_
On N8 PR1.2 you should have been able to update to Ovi Maps v3.06 via SW updates, which is now pre-installed in Symbian Anna. What version are you saying is installed upon your N8?

Symbian Anna update 1/2 failed to install

The story so far. I did the first round Anna update (around 27 mb i think) OTA cos my Ovi Suite never able to update firmware on my n8 since trying to update it to PR 1.2, and I did try reinstalling, redownload, reboot PC, reg clean, ccleaner to fix the Suite but it still do not update my firmware at all. But that's another story.
So I installed the 1st round, n8 rebooted to white screen, rebooted into homesceen with Midnight theme. SW update then shows 4 more items: Anna update 1/2, 2/2, Store and Social. The 1/2 was showing around 20++ mb. So I selected all 4 and update. Halfway through the installing process of 1/2 update (note the download part of 1/2 was very fast), I did plug in the power pin, cos the installation process was damn slow for 1/2. I did not notice wheher it finised installing cos later i checked it was already on 2/2 (downloaded and installing). It then went to the last two items and installed ok.
Rebooted device, but SW update still showed Anna update 1/2 available (the only one left) and the download size is now 7166 kb. I proceed to update it, it failes with error but no error codes or any message what was the error about. I tried again and again, with fresh reboots, still failes. What gives?
Even more, split screen not here. I did the uninstalling Swype, activating qwerty mode in portrait, still no split screen. I do not have any Betalabs apps.
My Quickoffice & Reader is not here anymore (the app manager not showing them too). Heck I bought the full ver of Quickoffice 6 last time. Wat a waste of my money now that ver 7 is out!!
Anyone knows how to delete the "dowloaded cache" of SW updates? I want to force SW update to redownload this 1/2 item to try fix this issue.
Thanks for listening and please help. Cheers!!

I got the same problem since this morning on both my N8 & just found out solution on a previous update error similar to this & completed the update on one of the N8. Re-trying on another one.
Working Solution for failed update was found on Flashism's website quoted & "touched up" per below:
Big thanks to user “Unick” on Nokia Support Forums, who posted a working solution to the problem, and there are couple of successful installs reported from the solution.
I just deleted folder E:\Private\20019119\. After that I ran SW update on the phone & it restarted download of Symbian Anna Update 1/2 & 2/2 as well as Social, they finished updates successfully.
To delete the mentioned folder, follow these simple steps:
• Connect your Nokia N8/C7 in Mass Storage mode to PC via USB cable
• Locate and delete folder named “20019119″ under \Private folder of Mass Storage
• Unplug the device from PC, and retry again. It should work.
However, I still got no popup split keyboard after completing the updates & restarted the phone.
