New Firmware Update for Nokia N95 (RM-159 ) :Decem...

Hello All,
It looks like new firmware update is available for Nokia N95 basic model .
Earlier Version of Firmware was : 30.0.015
Now the latest available Firmware was : 31.0.014
When i connected my N95 to PC using PC-Suite, it notified me about this. But when i searched the internet for change log , i found none. Is it right firmware , why Nokia didn't disclose change log, which it used to do it earlier ???
I will wait for 2 more days for official communication from Nokia....

Ok, so no one wants to install this firmware because theyre affraid they loose their freedom?
Somebody should shine a light on this FW, or nokia has
done a lot of work for nothing!

Nokia N95 8gb latest firmware update 21/02/13

Hi, I have had a problem whilst updating my N95 8gb and now it appears, I think, that the firmware version I have is an older one than I had previously, but there isn't anything newer showing as availaable. I have 35,0.001. I am sure that the last time I had a problem, after it was "flashed", the firmware I had installed by the shop was this and then when I got home and went to restore my files, there was a new update available on line. The rreason I say this is that the icons and colours etc are like the version installed by the shop, about 1 year ago and when I updated the software everything was different. If what I am saying is correct, does anyone know if this newer firmware update has now been withdrawn or can anyone throw any light on the subject as I am a little confused! Thanks

If your N95 8GB is RM-320 the last available firmware for all product codes is v35.0.001. Using restore via Nokia Suite can only reset your individual personalisation settings.

Updating N95 Firmware! Some important questions

My N95 is currently running on V20.0.013. A major improvement in update were found in V20.0.015. Now a days the latest firmware is V21.0.016.
Q1. If I update my N95 to 21.0.016, then would I get all the improved features of V20.0.015 as well or should I update my N95 step wise, i.e., first to 20.0.015 and then 21.0.016 to have all improvements. In V20.0.015, there were improvements in menu structure.
Q2. I have pre-installed multi language dictionary on microSD card provided in the sale package. If I update my N95 to V21.0.016, would this dictionary still work or I have to re-install it again?
Q3. Is there any problems which anyone encountered after updating N95 to V21.0.016? Any draw backs of this latest V21.0.016 software?
I totally depend upon you technical guys, and always get satisfied with the nice cooperation of this forum members. I hope you'll guide me this time as well.
Regards to all

Hi erehman,
Some answers to you here.
A1. A new firmware will always wipe out everything in the phone memory. Absolutely no need to update first to 20.0.015. Go straight to 21.0.016.
But the previous firmware to 20.0.15 was 13.0.003.
A2. After an update of a firmware you need to reinstall everything. The memory card, though, is not affected and you do not even have to keep it in.
A3. There may be some problems or odd functions, but all together the 21 firmware is better than the 20 firmware.

N95 Firmware update (v13, v20... whatever it's sup...

Seriously don't hold your breath for too long... Nokia are truly awful at this, they treat the customers who buy their most expensive handsets with such apparent contempt it is nothing short of disgusting.
I bought an N93 which was quickly superceded and completely forgotten about. To this day it is riddled with bugs and problems, as well as lacking so many features which were added to later models of phone when there was no reason other than Nokia not providing an update or releasing the software as individual updates.
The N95 is not much different unfortunately. It is unstable and full of bugs, including frequent crashes, abysmal memory availability and management as well as annoying things like the the system ignoring key presses every so often. For all those people who don't experience any of this, lucky you! There are far too many people who do however...
I'm sure some bright spark will come on here and point out in some way how I'm wrong, that Nokia are too busy working on new phones, that we've had a firmware update or two already for the N95 or something else. The simple fact is that Nokia are marketing the N95 as a computer, even to the point of the having the advertising slogan "It's what computers have become" but in fact they are treating it like a throw away mobile phone. Even Microsoft provide better and more frequent updates to their system than this! And that really is saying something!
What a shame that they have locked down the system so much, there is a tonne of talent out there in the opensource community who could make this potentially amazing platform truly outstanding. Nokia sure as hell don't seem to have the inclination!
When will you get your firmware...? It has been over 4 months now since they last updated the N95-1. I am beginning to get the feeling that this one has just been chucked on the heap as the N93 was... the parallels between the N93/N93i release and the N95/N95-8GB situation are rather strong. After 10 years as a loyal Nokia customer I won't be making the mistake of choosing them again!!
The supposed October 28th deadline has come and gone. I have emailed Nokia 5 times and been ignored, for over 3 months now. I have called everywhere I can and get the stock response "we don't know that" or "we only get told that a few hours in advance". Assuming any of that is actually the honest truth, it makes Nokia look pretty poor in their organisation of information and product support.
The sad fact is that even IF this firmware comes out, the chances of any further updates are extremely slim. Of course you could argue that there is a lack of commercial incentive for this. The N95 platform is so jammed full of technology that it has the potential to last for 4-5 years as a perfectly decent phone and mobile computing platform, with the right system updates of course. The industry makes no bones about the fact that it wants people to upgrade every 12-18 months, it's how they make their money. This is not conspiracy theory, just a sound bit of reasoning as to why we're not going to get a long stream of support for this phone.
I read with interest that Google are launching an open platform and SDK soon. Much as I am wary of google, being the corporate giant that they are, this at least is the beginnings of a truly open platform which hopefully users will be able to work with and improve in the way that manufacturers like Nokia simply don't want to. That is of course until the phone manufacturers who move to this system lock it down like Apple have done with the iPhone and prevent free enterprise and development.
I know we live in a capitalist society, but sometimes consumers are pushed just a bit too far. It is NOT acceptable, nor environmentally friendly to push out and make obsolete technology which costs as much as a reasonable spec entry PC once a year on us.
I doubt Nokia will read this, even if they do it'll just go ignored like all the other complaints from the customers they have let-down like this.

I'm sorry but "be patient" is just not sufficient here. It has been over 4 months and these are some MAJOR bugs in the phone.
Let me detail my day so far with my N95, for those of you who are not familiar with these problems or who think that perhaps this is just a disgruntled customer who has an overinflated sense of importance.
All of this is on an N95 replacement (the first one's earpiece broke) which I have had for under 2 weeks now. It is the latest firmware and there is NOTHING installed on it, it is as it comes...
* Full charge overnight with the phone off.
* Switch the phone on.
* Check my emails (I was sent a small mpeg video (700k) which I download to the phone.
- WiFi connection is lost 4 times and I'm within 3 metres of the aerial. N95 fails to find my access point for as long as a minute after losing the connection, when everything else in my house can see it.
* Check FaceBook mobile in web browser.
* Read BBC news headlines in web browser.
- clicked on 3 minute news video headlines, realplayer loads up, runs out of memory to play the video. Realplayer closes, taking the web browser with it.
* Try to play the video I was emailed. N95 doesn't support uber-standard MPEG files, so...
* Browse the web again, searching for how to play the MPEG.
- someone suggests renaming the file to .3gp to make RP load it. I'm dubious but it's worth a go. I go to the menu to access the file manager. I rename the file and click on it, still no joy.
- I close the file manager and go back to my browser, except not - it closed without warning because the memory ran out (presumably)
* I give up trying to browse the web and lock the phone.
* I need to make a call. I press the buttons to unlock it and mess up the timing (my fault completely)
- I keep pressing the buttons in quick succession in my impatience (which is just pointless I know, but I was in a hurry and fumbling with it).
- Having pressed the buttons about 8 times the phone unlocks but the screen goes dark.
- I press the camera focus/shutter button lightly to "un-sleep" the phone. It lights up for 2 seconds and goes dark again.
- I repeat this 3 times and the phone switches itself off!!
* The phone restarts automatically but once rebooted is slow and laggy, missing keypresses all over the place so I have to switch off then on again... it is normal (as normal as it gets) after this.
* I go to my PC and write this!!!!
Absolutely ALL of this is stuff the phone is supposed to do with its hands tied behind its back. I have not used any 3rd party software and never tried to use more than 2 applications at a time - the N95 IS a multitasking phone and so should handle a lot more than this!!!
This behaviour was present on the previous handset too, on both the firmware versions it had on it during its life. My current handset came with an 8-point service engineer inspection saying it was in full health...
Be patient? Even if I was prepared to mutely wait for 4+ months patiently whilst such dreadful bugs plague the phone, I am an N95 user who is concurrently paying off a contract on an N93 phone, costing me £200 ($400 US) in monthly rental for a phone which became unusable (due to signal issues on the network when I moved house to a different part of the country). Be patient? It is now about 14 months since I got the N93 and just over 12 months since the firmware was updated on that (I quote from the firmware date on my N93). Nokia dropped that one like a hot stone and completely screwed everyone who had bought it. Be patient? You must be kidding me! When Nokia, despite an all-singing-all-dancing website cannot ever be bothered to make even the most non-committal of announcements about firmware on it's own forums, why on earth should I be patient? I understand as a programmer myself all to well that things can slide and problems can delay things, but at this point I can't even find solid information to say there will be another update for this, let alone when it MIGHT arrive or what it will HOPEFULLY include... and as I said in my original post, I have telephoned and been fobbed off and had 5 emails ignored (not including the ones about the N93 which were also ignored). And yes, I did get the received message report from Nokia's own system saying someone would come back to me.
I'm sorry to rant at you, I'm sure it's not your fault but be patient? Just not acceptable any more!

Risk involved in N95 Firmware update

I want to update my N95 firmware but at the same am frightened that if my internet disconnects during update process, then what would happen. Is there any risk for my N95 if such thing happens. If the update is not complete and my internet didconnects, then would my N95 work properly?
Is there any way I can download the latest firmare to my PC and then update N95 from PC via cable?

Do not attempt the update if you use dial-up internet. You need broadband.
I've read that a lot of people have had phone failures when using dial up.
If you don't have broadband or a stable connection then visit a care point/service centre and ask them to do it. It's free while the phone is under warranty.

Unable to update latest firmware of N95

Hi All,
I tried to update the latest firmware of N95 through NSU. I got error message as
nsu_ui_client has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconveinence.
My PC details are Win XP - SP 2 and 32-bit
NSU Version latest : v1.4.0en_us
Any help...

Is your iTunes version updated, if not then update it from here ?
What error do you get when trying to update your iPhone ?

Any News of update of Firmware for N95-3??

Hi
Any One know about News of update of Firmware for N95-3 ?? When a version V.30 for n95-3?
Sorry for my broken english.

It may be next week, next month, next year or never.
It's impossible to answer that question here as nokia never announce new firmware until it's available.

Is it really vital to update N95 Firmware? Come up...

Is it really important to update N95 all the time to the latest firmware version?
What have those gained who updated to latest version, and what have those lost who are using the previous versions.
Is it really worth considering to update N95 while taking into account all the risks of phone turning into brick during process, non-functionality of all the previously installed 3rd Party software, and many more complications?
Does the new software really bring about dramatic changes to the N95 stability, start-up timings of the Java applications, improved menu structure, battery life etc. The presence of Flash Lite 3 may not be the key factor in updating N95.
What are the main plus points for N95 users to update their phones and
what are the main negative points that they should not go to update.
Please take part to discuss your good/ bad experiences in this regard in order to make other N95 users clear as to what should be done.
Regards
Ejaz

I used NSU to get 21.0.016 and I am happy I did it. The biggest improvement was with the WLAN connection, the old fw often failed to find my hidden home network, new fw has never missed it.
Previously the browser couldn't load webpages that were more than about 1.5mb and often crashed with multiple windows open, but now the browser works just fine with 4mb pages and multiple windows.
The only 3rd party sw that I had paid for was a game (Medal of Honor - what a waste of money that was) and that still works, but I did lose some of the free apps I had installed.
So yes, if you use the browser a lot over wlan than I'd say it's vital.
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Soft/Firmware Update for N95

I think I have searched all the FAQ but don't see an answer.
I have an unlocked N95. I am in Canada. I plan to take the device to Europe next week. I want the latest soft/firmware updates before I install anything [maps, dictionary, metro maps, virus software]. But the updater which I have installed on my PC says it wants a SIM card in the phone to do the update. Can I get around this? I don't want to get some sort of phone plan here when I'll be gone in a week.
Also, one set of instructions says plug the phone into the charger while you update and the other says just be sure the battery is fully charged. Does it matter?

No, SIM card is required.
It's better to plug it into the charger during updating. All it takes is a faulty indicator and you risk bricking your phone. The update process drains the battery like you've never seen before.
Hope it helps.

N95 o2 firmware update?

Any one know when the 11.0.026 firmware update will be released?
I've only had the phone half a day and have barley been able to use it as it crashes/reboots/freezes when I do pretty much anything. Hoping the update will fix some probs.
Thanks

on o2 original firmware too but had no restarts or freezing in 2 weeks of heavy use , suggest maybe a conflicting app/game installed or just a bad phone. try format etc and if still bad send it back or to nokia service.. eagerly await o2 update myself though !!

Firmware Updates in North America (NAM devices) - ...

After reading the UK campaign for equality post - I thought I'd start one for us North American folks.
As a loyal (but now beginning to waver) owner of Nokia devices since 1998.. it's always been a sad state of affairs in terms of upgrades, and getting new devices, especially compared to the rest of the world, PERIOD.
While I realize that our phones may require a slightly different chipset because of the odd ball frequencies that our areas use - there is no sane or logical reason why we get shafted on model firmware updates otherwise. While I do not have a hardware engineering degree - I cannot see why the primary functions of firmware updates cannot be easily ported over to the NAM versons of Nokia phones.
While a lot of you out there have valid complaints (like the UK) in release time - and do eventually get them. We in the NAM market have been consistently.. well, screwed, is the only way that I can think of it. I have consistently made it a point to buy Unlocked and unbranded devices DIRECTLY from Nokia USA so that I can have flexibility and know that I will eventyally, hopefully,get some sort of update.
With all the new N and E series devices that I have owned - N95-3, N85-3, E75-2, E65, N79 come to mind - we have been consistently, and systematically been delayed as candidates for firmware releases. Example: N95-3 - The was launched as a FLAGSHIP device. All OTHER versions of the N95 got and received a v30 upgrade - the n95-3 didn't even get it as a possibility until almost 7 months later!!! E75 - a lot of you got the v200 upgrade and things work perfectly - I should know - I have a friend who has a E75-1 handset, and we compare notes and see how sad and slow my device is! We're still on v110! N85 - the same way, MONTHS later. It goes on and on.
I mean, if you're NOT going to support a device - that's fine - just TELL us upfront. Don't tease us with versions of firmware for other practically identical devices - and then have your North American support counter parts completely clueless as to any news whatsoever. If you're not going to support the product with firmware updates - just tell me, and I'll make my decisions to purchase, or not, accordingly.At least with other mobile manufacturers - I know there is a set steady time frame of support and so on.
What's even worse than the tease with the other versions of firmware, is the NokiaUSA site itself. You go there, and you see that OH - hey! There's apparently a new version of firmware available for my device on the 'pretty' pages that allow you to select your device. *BUT* whenever you type in a NAM device code on the actual check page - it's never available at the same time as the rest of the family of devices. Heck, we're lucky if we are only 1 revision behind for most, if not all, devices! If you're not going to give us the updates - then make sure your localized website doesn't even mention it! This false hope is the worst wound of all!
And yes, I do realize that Nokia does not have the market share in the NAM market as it would like - but helping us 1st adopters to have wonderful working devices is probably your best form of advertising to people who've never even seen the devices before! I don't know how many of my friends and colleagues have bought Nokia devices because they see how well they CAN work as compared to what they are used to! You want market share? well, help us, to help you!
North American users please chime in and add kudos to this if you feel the same way!

Nokia Senior Managers,
I want to help you. So do all the other customers on this site. The 5800 is the best phone on the market, but it needs the updated firmware (v.4) in NAM as soon as poosible.
Other suggestions (places you are doing well and need help).
Doing well - maps (on-device with GPS is much much better solution than wireless network based only - MARKET this fact, where is the advertising??) and push e-mail. You should make the push e-mail free for life on your smartphones, like you did with maps (then market along with free mapping). This would eliminate Android and Blackberry given the technology and price point.
Need more work - ease of set-up, user interface, music, and apps. All of these need to be improved to take on Apple. It took two full days to set up my phone (before installing music). That is way too long. Everything is convoluted, like it was developed on Mars. This could be one CD that comes with the phone and make everthing easy, or just pre-loaded so you can turn-on and go. The touch screen user interface is ok, but could be much better (more homescreen choices, etc.) Regarding music, don't try to sell, just make a simple pass-through that works well, leave selling (or sharing) music to others. (maybe buy MediaMonkey and incorporate to have a good universal music management program) Regarding apps, this is moving in the right direction, but you need to do more. More apps, make them free, and partner like crazy with media companies, U.S. universities (who are developing for all other smartphones except Nokia through Blackboard, etc.), and any other company/organization that has a cool app. This is the sizzle, which in the U.S. sells more than the steak.
Good luck and let us know if we can be of assistance.

Updated N95-8gb Now None of my soft keys or center...

also when i put in my product code it says i can update to 31.01.11 or something but it says i am up to date at 20.??.?? any help would be appreciated

Hi Mate!
Did you made Backup N95-8GB before install firmware update?

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!

Please nokia, new firmware for N95!!!

I guess having another software update rapidly for my N95 because after an upgrade from V10 to V30 fortunately my camera stopped working at all, but worked with other apps like ccam, photorite etc.. I think its a bug in the firmware itself, so please nokia I beg u a lot please make another firmware available as quickly as possible through NSU, P.S: whats the reason having a 5mp camera and not being able to use it...

Right. The camera works on my N95 with v30.
I've taken on a habit of reformatting the memory card or mass memory before a firmware update, and just after the firmware update I do a *#7370# to ensure everything is nice and clean.
Then I get the applications and data back, which I want on the phone. (I keep the application installation files on a PC, and of course before any reformatting/reflashing also copy or back up any data/files I want to keep safe to the PC as well.)
