Update Over The Air - Nokia 6131

If you go to http://www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate and try to update over the air, it gives you the instruction to do the next:
To Backup to your Memory card:
1.select Tools > Memory fron the main menu
2.select Options > Backup phone mem.
Well, i don't have those options in my Nokia 6131...
Any idea?
Thanks!!

Thank you Petrib. I was expecting an explanation like that and it makes sense. I already use Content Copier but the idea of perform a backup directly to the Memory Card is tempting.

That is absolutely not true.
An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.

although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...

Is it just me, or do most of the upgrade problems (not bugs) happen when updating "over-the-air", rather than using a computer and iTunes ?

I have used iTunes on a computer every time, and so far have had no problems like the ones we are seeing here.
Just want to reiterate - I am not talking about iOS 7 bugs - but just performing the update(s)

Absolutely!! I've had no problems upgrading the iPhone using iTunes. It also allows me to backup the iPhone's settings so I can recover them if something goes wrong in the upgrade process. I have always upgraded using iTunes and would not do it any other way.
My wife upgraded to iOS6 directly to her iPhone 4S and lost her contacts and other information, and had problems with wifi access, etc. At the next iOS change, I did the upgrade on her phone through iTunes and had no problem.
Even MacWorld reports that upgrading "over the air" directly on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch can create instability in the OS.

Ios 7 update, over the air or itunes?

Should you update to ios 7 over the air or on itunes?

iOS 7 is not yet released.
However... my preference is for the Computer/iTunes option for large Updates / Upgrades.
Don't forget to Backup First...

Update Checking Over the Air..N80

hi all,
this is my very first post. i'm a N80 user, and i just flashed my firmware into v 4.0623.0.42 recently.
i did it via NSU and i worked just fine.
But i have 1 simple question, everybody's talking about checking updates over the air via 'Device Manager'. I tried to do that (just in case new update's available), but when i opened my 'Device Manager', 'no server profile' is written on the screen.
What should i do about this? The server profile is supposed to be created automatically or should i create it my self? if i should, i don't have any idea how to fill in the blanks..
any advise is kindly appreciated..

thx 4 the reply dezi,
im afraid that is not what i meant. I've checked and the v 4.0623.0.42 fw is the newest one for my N80. and i just successfully flashed it recently (maybe a week ago).
what i really wanna know is just how to check updates via 'device manager', the settings, server profile(how to create one), etc.
thx,

Can multiple iphones with multiple itunes accounts be synced to one mac keeping apps seperate over the air?

We have about 20 iPhone's in our environment and syncing and updating them has become a real chore lately. Everyone has their own iTunes account and apps that they use. Is there a way that they can be synced, backed up and updated over the air (not iCloud) to the same MAC? Because we are in the financial sector we will not be able to use iCloud. Should we look into some sort of private cloud and if so; any suggestions on how to accomplish it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
J

We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad

No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings, power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

Great! Thanks, this works.
I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works! but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.) Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

If the update is on the Nokia servers that does not mean it is ready and available to end users for the OTA update. While a Nokia Care Point could flash it for you that will also wipe the device.

What happened to over the air updates

am I the only one, or has over the air updates been changed to over WiFi updates? Not the same thing. Pretty inconvenient when you're somewhere without WiFi and want to update your phone.

I always update via Wi-Fi so don't have any personal experience but did notice the following quote in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Some iOS software updates aren't available as over-the-air updates.
