E63 firmware v500.21.009 Query

I updated the firmware of my E63 to v500.21.009 using OVI Suite.
According to the changelog, the new firmware does the following among other things:
"Comes with music with upgraded music player".
But, the music player seems exactly the same to me, with the same interface, same sound quality and all. Am I missing something?
Also, about the Comes With Music thing, what exactly is it supposed to do? I thought I will get unlimited music downloads from the OVI Store. But when I am trying to activate the Unlimited Music thing from OVI Player (in PC) or from the Music Store app in the phone, it is shown that "Sorry your phone is not a unlimited music phone". So what exactly am I supposed to get with this "Comes with music" thing?
Thanks.
Solved!

The E63 has never been a Comes With Music device, and has never been advertised as such by Nokia, nor did any information officially published to the public mention this. The music player will be the same installed on a number of similar devices, so any changes that relate to CWM will be specific to those models that supported CWM.
The free navigation in Ovi Maps is dependent on version 3.01 or later of the Maps application in the device, is was not possible to reverse-engineer some of the older devices to run the updated version.

    You best ignore these USB messages. Depending on your PC and phone, the update can take some time. Reset the E63 using the 3 finger option and try again.

  • Unable to update E63 firmware via Nokia Suite

    Hi,
    I've tried to update my E63 software using Nokia Suite v3.3.86 but in vain.
    The steps I've followed in the 3rd step fo update process (i.e. Install) are as follows with screenshots attached:
    1. It checks for valid installation file (see attached "Installation file validation.png").
    Since the update has been downloaded by it previously, it proceeds to next step.
    2. It starts preparing to install (see attached "Preparing to install.png").
    3. It show USB connection active screen with a windows notification saying "Nokia E63 disconnected via USB" is seen on "Install screen". (see attached "Install Screen.png" for "Install Screen").
    4. Next with the same USB connection active screen, a windows notification saying "Nokia E63 connected via USB" is seen on "Install screen".
    5. The windows notification disappears and the screen is still at the "Install Screen" (see attached "Install Screen.png").
    6. Nothing happens even after waiting for  a long time. Clicking "Next" repeats the above mentioned process from step 2.
    Dialing "*#0000#" gives the following info:
    "500.21.009
    02-06-2010
    RM-437
    (c) Nokia E63-1 (308.06)"
    I'm an advanced computer and mobile user and can perform specific system tasks. If there is any solution to the above issue, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it was disheartening to see that Nokia didn't provide new NSU direct link. Had to get an older version from non-Nokia site. Though after install it updated itself to a newer version but would've really appreciated if Nokia would've provided NSU as official download.

  • E63 firmware update

    Somebody is hurt because I permitted myself to write in his/her topic.So, new topic.
     I did a firmware upgrade to 400 .... number.Until now my E63 battery made 3-4 days with bluetooth continously on.Now barely makes 36 hours.I read somewhere that this firmware contains bluetooth improvement too...
    Lol, if this is improvement, than what to expect from any new firmware?
    Another issue...
    Ovi Suite, it just eats up with two kind services:  service layer... and nokiamserver... about 30% of cpu, all the time.
    Even this error is "repaired" in this new 2.0 Ovi suite...
    So, I don't get it, why so many updates without fixing that concerns people.Because i think many people are using Windows 7 now...
    Thank you for answering.

    This just means that V200 is not yet available for your product code. The current version is V410. You are quite a bit behind which would suggest to me that your phone could be network branded.
    The firmware for network branded handsets ahave to be modified and approved by the network first causing delays. Sometimes some networks don't bother at all. I have been pestering Vodafone Ireland for an update to V35 for my N95-2 and it is stuck at V20.
    You can check the availability of update for your phone here.

  • E63 Firmware Updated now Content Copier "Hangs / H...

    Good evening.
    This is my first post here and it's a cry for help:
    I updated my E63's firmware this (10/9/09) evening and then did the restore from PC Suite Backup "Nokia Content Copier", downloaded fresher versions of 3 or 4 applications, redid my email accounts and, once everything was back the way I wanted it, tried to do a backup via PC Suite to "gel" my changes should I have trouble down the road.
    PC Suite Backup "Content Copier" goes through 7 of the eight progress points it lists without a hitch. On reaching the eighth "Settings" stage and displaying "67%", it stalls out... I've waited over an hour for it to resume / finish / error... 3 times! The program responds fine on the PC (WinXP) when I abort the backup.
    Any suggestions or ideas are most welcome at this point - I feel rather vulnerable not having a backup of my data to fall back on...
    Thanks in advance for your time

    MODERATOR - Please delete my post: Problem self-solved after soft reset. Sorry!

  • My observation after E63 firmware upgrade

    Hi all,
    As per above subject, here I express my some observation just for your information.
    1. All equalizer sound effect became same in music player, even manual setting not responding.
    2. When playing a song, it's stop and reset when fast forward or rewind applied.
    3. RealPlayer became more laggy, it's take noticeable time for normal to fullscreen and vice versa and also for volume up down
    4. Newly added theme White (Business and Personal) had a major issue of digital clock misalignment and minor one is top bar color mismatch with bottom bar and wallpaper.
    5. Mostly all preinstalled themes are not cover contacts and calendar color scheme.
    6. In week view of calendar the column header and left border misaligned for Tuesday and Saturday only.
    7. Personally I prefer the Black Personal theme, but the font of digital clock are so rough and not smooth as all dark business themes. It's very funny why all light colored themes got ugly digital clock and which also fixed more upper (near operator logo) than dark ones? It ruins the elegance of Eseries.
    Note: The observation done on my Nokia E63-1 (27) RM-437. 200.21.012. 18/06/2009 APAC, Upgraged by Nokia Authorized Service (Kolkata, India). It may not be applicable on all E63 worldwide. Lastly I have no intention to find fault of GREAT Nokia. This is for just sharing only.
    Thanks, have a very pleasant day.

    It depends who the phone is branded with as to whether any upgrades are available. If the software updater says no then you should not try to upgrade it some other way. I would contact your SP and ask about it since like you say the latest version is 400....

  • E63 Firmware update issue -

    Guys- I recently purchased one of these from the Nokia online shop. I was pleased with it until it started crashing, then I did the most stupid thing I have ever done - I tried to reload the firmware via NSU - bad idea!
    NSU decided that the product code for my handset belonged in Germany (even though its supposed to be UK generic) and consequently NSU loaded the German keyboard layout. I called Nokia support and spoke to an engineer, who went through various tests including a hard reset, reflashing via NSU, and altering the locale of the unit, all to no avail. I was advised to take my handset to a Nokia Care Point for reflashing, I then informed the engineer that this was pointless as the care points cannot alter the language file
    I have now had to return the handset to them as faulty, and have got to wait two weeks for a replacement. I am, as you can imagine, not happy!
    My advice? dont use NSU to update one of these handsets because Nokia will try to say it is your fault that its broken, and if they tell you to take it to a care point, dont bother as they wont be able to fix it either!

  • E63-update firmware require lock code.

    E63-1 after update to new firmware 500.12.009 success. when it restart and login to OS, it's require the lock code. but i type the code 12345 is code error.
    i dont change the phone code from i buy this phone. so how can i find the correct code?
    please help.

    The default code is usually 12345 unless it was changed by either the network or the user. If it is changed by the networks then it should be on the label on the box. If you changed it and don;t remember it, the only way to reset it is to send it to a Nokia Care Point. You will need to bring proof of purchase with you.

    Solved!

    Check the Nokia Device Software Update page here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/news#
    Unfortunately, it seems to list very few details too:
    =============================================================

    This software release includes improvements in overall performance, notably in the Nokia Messaging and Mail for Exchange applications. In addition, this release brings enhancements to WLAN performance. This software release is available through the Nokia Software Updater.
    =============================================================
    Third-party websites show a more detailed changelog:
    http://symbianworld.org/3992-new-firmware-update-v410-21-010-available-for-nokia-e71-e66-e63/

    =============================================================
    Now of course, there's also the other update details that can be gleaned from the actual usage of the E63, such as discussions in this Nokia forum.
    From various reports here in the forum, it appears that the latest v410.21.010 update breaks Ovi Maps 3.01.  In the previous firmware version v400.21.013, one can update the Ovi Maps to version 3.01.
    The latest firmware version DOES NOT seem to support Ovi Maps 3.01 (I forgot, but I think the firmware reverts it to Nokia Maps 2.0, which is a lot less detailed than Ovi Maps 3.01.
    You may want to take this in consideration if using the Ovi maps feature. (Note that this "bug" isn't reported in any of the changelogs above, so it's only through user-to-user reports that one sometimes get surprised to find out certain features are broken after the latest update.)
    ====================================
    Now, it seems that the Nokia E63, E66, E71 firmwares are updated nearly at the same time.
    There has still been no announcement from Nokia's official update page at this time (the page I checked above), but 3rd-party sites have already reported both E66 & E71 have their firmwares (already/soon?) to be released as of yesterday:
    http://symbianworld.org/5097-nokia-e66-receives-v500-21-009-firmware-update/
    http://symbianworld.org/5082-nokia-released-new-firmware-updade-v-500-21-009-for-nokia-e71-with-chan...
    (still waiting to see if E63 will be announced soon... and hopefully they fix the inability to install Ovi Maps 3.01 on the E63)

  • Re: Firmware Updates in North America (NAM devices...

    I have bought an E75-2 (NAM device) 2 months ago.  I have noticed that I cannot upgrade this phone with the latest ver. 200 firmware, compare to the euro devices.  The E75-2 works, but not perfectly (this device should work better than this!!).
    As Nokia is selling this phone in North America, I would think that any software fixes should be applied to the whole product line, rather than regional only.  Especially the software and fixes are common amongst all E75s.
    Nokia, you have very good product here (the E75).  But you must Get Your Act Together, and provide the service that all Nokia's customers deserved.  Please have all upgrades available to all your customers, as all good customers (not just the ones in Europe and Asia) deserve the best service Nokia can provide.
    Ps. When are we going to receive the Free Navigation GPS software for the E75?

    Something weird is happening to E63 firmware.
    I had v200, skipped v300 (don't know why) installed v400. Then I learned v410 was released, I went to website, to check it with my product code but no updates for me. Later I discovered than v500 was released, ran nokia software updater but latest I found is v410. Great! I updated it and waiting for v500 for North American losers, such I am. Yesterday went to the website to check it with my product code and got info that latest fw for my device is v200. Weird, ha? Just now checked it again and first time saw "Sorry! No software update available for this product code via the Nokia Software Update Tool. ".
    Are they fixing it or they just decided to ditch us all?

  • How to Install EU Firmware version on my E52

    Hi there. I just got a Nokia E52, with firmware version: 022.009.C00.01, Type RM - 469.
    I cant read Vietnamese font, and my friends said i have to install EU versions of firmware. How could i do that?
    When i use Ovi suit, it updated automatically, no option of variants right? 
    thank you

    Hi chestervn,
    Ask Nokia Care to advise you how to make Vietnamese fonts readable on your phone. When this cannot be achieved within the software package, that is officially linked to your product code, ask to install a different software package on your phone. Nokia Care has the means to do so. What is the product code of your phone? In the end your are the boss of your phone. Cheers
