ETA for N8 anna update Australia

I know this has been asked but...
Could we get an official date on this.
We have been patient and waited as we were promised this would not happen again.
Skyee or other Nokia staff Pls.

I'm patiently awaiting Anna update for my N8... good things come to those who wait.  But hopefully it gets here before the Belle update is launched.
The N8 is still a great smartphone as it is - with fantastic camera, HDMI & TV out, a USB port that allows both USB mass storage access to internal cards (from any computer) as well as being able to plug in external USB drives!  Free downloadable maps for offline use & a great built-in GPS, fantastic!
Being able to update the firmware over the air is great!  It worked well for PR1.2 update & hopefully the Anna update will be just as smooth.
Just a few grievances though - lack of a SMB client, upload size limitation on WebDAV, and lack of CalDAV calendar sync!!!  It sounds like the Belle update will at least allow access to SMB shares.  A bigger capacity battery would have been nice, and being able to replace it easily when it finally dies... hrm. 
From what I hear, Belle will also bring with it native MS office apps, replacing QuickOffice.  There'll be some other MS guff in there as well it seems.  Syncing to an exchange server will improve (if you're into exchange that is) allowing multiple calendar sync.  I never thought that I'd see native MS apps on a Nokia product, and that would make it rather unique in any of today's smartphones.  Personally, I'd rather see better support for open standards (IMAP-idle, CalDAV, CardDAV, LDAP)
I don't have any regrets in selecting my N8.  However, I have a feeling that it might be the last Nokia smartphone that I'll personally own.  The N9 looks very interesting & I'll see what's happening with Meego in 22 months time (when VHA ditch all Three accounts) but I certainly won't be buying a Windows Phone (I'm not a big fan of either MS or Apple).
So, is Anna here yet?  <checks phone again>  Doh!

  • Paradoxical Anna Update + Language support for C7 ...

    Hello everyone. Please read my description of my problem as currently there is no solution to this unique problem that I have.
     I bought my C7 in Australia in July. I sent it to my dealer to install Chinese language, I am not 100% sure what he did but it most likely seem like he flashed the phone firmware so the languages are now English and Chinese Simplified. 
    Now I've heard about Anna and officials from Nokia said it will be out by late Sept, currently it is mid Oct and I still do not see the update. However, when I go to SW Update on my phone, there is 1 single update, with software version 24. something. There is only this one. On my computer, namely Nokia Ovi Suite (the newest version) as well as Nokia Software Updater, they show no updates. The NSU on my PC show there is nothing to update, but the Ovi Suite say there is an error in my firewall or virus protection that does not allow it to connect to internet. This is ridiculous, I could check the newest apps on the dashboard on Ovi, and I turned off all protection on my computer too. Still I get this message. 
    How does these two problems come together? I firstly would like to know why I cannot see the Anna update, and only could see 1 update on my phone, where as it should be 3. Secondly, if the problem 1 is solved and I have Anna, there is a chance that the Chinese support will be gone. So can anyone confirm whether the language will be restored to English only or still keep Chinese? As this phone is flashed into Chinese firmware it should not lose its Chinese support, can anyone confirm this? 
    Many thanks 
    Nokia C7-00 Symbian Belle RM-675

    Hi!
    Can you give more details, especially your productcode? (You can find it by tapping *#0000# and it starts with 05**.)
    The question if you lose your Chinese language support depends on what exactly the dealer did with your phone, ie. which tools he used to flash it. So, I can't unfortunately this one without having the exact information. If he didn't fully change the productcode (and your phone is still on a supposedly Australian productcode), the update will set your phone back to the state in which it was when it left the factory. Meaning, your language pack will be back to default - without any Chinese characters.

  • Anna update + language packs or flashing?

    Hello I've got kind of a big question here regarding the new Anna update, but there are some doubts I have that I could not find solutions to within this forum.
    Basically I've bought a C7 from my Vodafone dealer here in Australia but to fulfill my needs I gave it to the dealer to have Chinese installed. But I'm not sure if they flashed the phone or they simple installed a language pack. I need some advice on this, and my phone versions as as below:
    Release: PR1.2
    Software: 0.14.002
    Custom version: 0.14.062.C01.01
    Language: 0.14.002.28.01
    Type: RM-675
    So any professionals here may assist me in identifying whether this C7 was flashed into some other firmware that has Chinese on it or is it simply a language pack install? This phone was bought in Australia with only English support but now it has both English and SImplified Chinese.
    Second part of my question. I know that when updating Anna the language will revert back to the original language of the phone. Now, if my phone was just installed with language pack, it will revert back to English only. Whereas if it was flashed into, say, China Mainland firmware byt the dealer, it will still support Chinese, because the phone is practically the same as a Chinese bought OEM phone. Since all Nokia phones are practically the same with only exception of different firmware for different locales. Is my theory correct? 
    Assume the phone was flashed into Chinese firmware, by updating Anna, will both Chinese and English be available to me?  
    I know this is rather lengthy for a question but, any helpful input will be greatly appreciated, as I really want to use Anna and also keep my language support. Thanks.

    they might have installed a language pack.
    flashing the firmware on Chinese only, you should only see Chinese and similar languages.
    yes the phones are the same, with some exceptions where some countries don't allow GPS for example.
    giving the phone to a service center to flash it with another firmware will void your warranty. and i don't see any reason to void it.
    flashing with Chinese, only Chinese and similar languages will be available to you, you might have English, but i doubt it.

  • 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.

  • N8 problem before and after ANNA update

    Dear Gent's in Nokia,
    Me and my 2 friends have same mobile "nokia N8". When we purchased phones we have had one very annoying problem , phone resets 1-2 times during the 48hours and always happens when we try to call someone . We have been patient and waited for ANNA update . Finally when arrived we have updated our phones and now we have similar problem ,it's connected with calls again.When we try to call someone phone does'nt resets it says "Call not allowed", this thing happens randomly at least once a day , then we have to turn the phone off and then turn it on so we can make calls again. It happens on three N8 same problem.
    Can somebody help us with this problem?
    Thank You in advance

    Nokia made it possible to re-install the ANNA software,
    Connect to OVI SUITE 3.1.1.9 (Updated version 20 September 2011)
    Search for new updates
    & select : re-install

  • N8 Anna update zoom out not working in mails

    prior to the Anna update, i could zoom out  the view for all the mails received in N8 (ive set up gmail account). I use this particularly to view in full page mode for big images in html mails.
    But after the Anna update, i cannot zoom out the default view, i can just zoom in.
    In short, for the big images in the mail body, i cannot see the full image at once, ive to scroll up down, left right to see the whole thing.
    Can this be fixed (other than using Opera) ???

    Well well I just went through my settings ones again, and Opera just doesn't work as primary browser.
    - But I just tried Belle, and boys just wait, its a huge step forward, and its not taking us on the same level as the competitors, its beyond that.
    Sometimes the grass just always seems greener on the other side of the fence, but believe me there are a lot of interesting options on the way.
    I have had my N8 for 1 year, and after some huge search not found another device doing the same thing.  But I´m involved in outdoor activities and some remote/hostile operating environment.  Ok yes there is one phone that has better antenna/receiver coverage and that's N9.  This is just my experience.

  • Life after the C7 Anna update

    Ok so where do I start……oh yes the Anna update
    So I updated my C7 to Anna (including the 1/2 and 2/2 subsequent updates) and this made my phone much sleeker and that is always a good thing in my book, NFC and some fancy new extras are also much appreciated….thumbs up for Nokia…. 
    However, since the update many things no longer work and some things have disappeared completely:
    1)      The phone now restart every few hours, usually when I’m not doing anything with it (phew), so while its not a direct inconvenience, no doubt it is draining my battery (not to mention all my home widgets need to be restarted/loaded each time)
    2)      Many of my pictures/images no longer appear in my ‘photos’ regardless of what folder they are stored (some appear and some do not and they reside in the same folder!!)
    3)      The music player editing is still not available grrrrrr (maybe I hoped to much for that one)
    4)      When I try to purchase something on OVI it gets to the confirmation of payment and then gives me an error message saying something like ‘the purchasing system is currently not working’ ?????? wow your losing money on that one ?????
    5)      Certain screensavers have vanished like the music player (song playing) and the slide show, why why why, they were great?
    Ok a little wrapping up is needed; I have always chosen Nokia in the past mainly because I believe Nokia phones are practical and as such can do all the things that I need from a smart phone.  While one alternative is an iPhone, I believe it to be extortionately priced with some seriously basic flaws (flash player missing, Bluetooth limitations, tied to iTunes, cannot remove MC or battery etc).  However, given the amount of problems I’ve been having recently I am somewhat tempted to start looking at android phones for my next purchase.
    I say this not as a threat or out of anger but out of a ‘what happened Nokia’ kind of disappointment.  Anna/Bella may not be enough if you can’t get your software in order, especially the variety of apps/games available on your market place, which is a pity really because your new phones are more than capable of such software! (for example, why are there no music sequencers/creators available?)
    Can anyone help with any of these problems? Or is anyone having other problems that I have not included here? Will Nokia even read and act upon this post? Tune in next week to find out……..
    P.S. spoke to support and their answer was to reinstall Anna and this didn’t work, alternatively wait for a new firmware update, and when that will be I don’t know.

    Hi all, this is just an update on some of the things I have resolved from my original post 1) Unfortunately the restarts are still happening, usually when the phone is idle for a period of time (around 2-3 hours) yet it doesn't crash or reset when in use. From what I can gather some people believe it to be hardware (sent it back) and some think it is software (wait for update). but this restarting never happened like this before the Anna Update. phonehacker has recently posted this which i'll try tonight Thanks /t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/My-C7-restarts-very-often-Wh​at-should-I-do/td-p/1014817 2) I have resolved the missing images from 'photos' issue - After Anna update I moved all my pictures from the Pictures (on memory card) folder to the Images folder (the one where camera pics are stored, still on the memory card) and now they all appear in the photos app. 3) No news on the music update (allowing editing) but I hear this is an issue with all S^3 devices, so patients is needed for this one. 4) I can still purchase on the OVI store as long as I am connected via WiFi, but not through 3G, any ideas? 5) I hear it is a given that the extra screensavers have been removed Hope some of this helps, or that someone can resolve my restarting issues. Thanks all ***edited this three times and for some reason spaces are not appearing, sorry for the way it reads

    Hi there, i know there has been some chat about losing Quick office and Adobe reader after Anna update on N8s on this site, I also lost office and Adobe after the update ! I needed to get office asap so i went to the quick office website and paid for it, that works fine but it seems adobe will not install even directly from quick office ! The support from QO has been great but i still cant re install adobe !! They have finally suggested that i re install Anna and than try again ! Does anyone have any other ideas !

    @beefy122
    I have the same problem but I am not prepared to pay for Quick Office or pdf reader because the full versions came as standard with my N8.
    It appears that the Anna upgrade comes in 3 parts:
    The main Anna file, Additional file 1/2 and finally additional file 2/2.
    I installed the Anna upgrade then 24 hours later I was offered (both via Ovi Suite on my PC) the 2/2 additional file.
    However, Quick Office and pdf reader are apparently included in 1/2, which has not yet been offered to me, presumably because my phone has not recognised that it has not been installed.
    I am on Orange Uk and I wonder if Orange have not yet fully tested the updates and therefore that is why the full suite is not available to me.  I may be wrong of course.
    At one point on one of the other threads, someone had posted a link to the updates required for both 1/2 and 2/2 but these links disappeared from the posting quite quickly.
    Which updates have you loaded?
    I have re-installed Anna 3 times and it has never offered me the 1/2 update that I require.
    I would also appreciate other ideas but they have not been forthcoming yet despite many postings in quite a few threads (other than suggestions to reset the phone etc, that I am not prepared to do)

  • N8 Communicator and Anna Update

    Having done the full Anna update - 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 - I decided that I didn't need Communicator and as it seemed to be very big, I de-installed it.  Next time I connected to Nokia Ovi Suite I was informed that I needed an update 2.2.  Now I believe that this is the update that installs Communicator, plus a pile of other things.  Presumably de-installing Communicator has somehow signaled that I don't have 2.2 - but I do - just without Communicator which I don't want. If I accept the update, the Communicator is re-installed. If I don't accept and update, it stays there and tells me every time I connect via Nokia Ovi Suite.
    Is Communicator mandatory (thanks Nokia/Microsoft ....?).
    Can I get rid of the update message, without re-installing 2.2 and ending up with Communicator anyway?
    Do I see the end of us deciding what runs on our phones and what doesn't?
    Oh, and this time, laughably, the forum spell-checker didn't recognise OVI!!!!!! - LOL
    My current phone - Samsung Galaxy Note

    Thanks for your reply, but I don't think you understood my post. I clearly said " I decided that I didn't need Communicator and as it seemed to be very big, I de-installed it. "
    The question was not "how do I uninstall communicator" but why, having uninstalled it, Nokia continues to try and force me to re-implement update Anna 2.2, which just re-installs it.  In other words, it seems that just uninstalling Communicator on my phone (and that is all I did) causes Nokia to say I need to install update Anna 2.2 again, which I have already installed.  If, as I tried, I accept the installation of Anna 2.2 as suggested by Ovi Suite, all it does is re-install Communicator ....! Therefore I am left with a phone that Nokia Ovi Suite says needs an update, with no way for me to say "No, I don't want it thankyou."  Presumably it will keep telling me this forever, as I have no intention of installing it again, and ending up with a program I don't want on my phone.  What I object to, is that I have no way of getting rid of it - it seems to be mandatory - "unistall Communicator and we will keep pestering you until you re-install it, matey".
