Is it necessary to update my N97 mini?

Is it necessary to update my phone? Have no problems with it, and it is stable. I`m using Opera Mini as web-browser and have installed A-sms (Animated SMS). Ovi Maps 3.06 (beta?)  is installed and works fine. Handy Taskman helps me monitoring the system and the memory. 
What is the purpose of updating (from v 12.0.110) to the latest software when I am satisfied with the existing? It is perhaps a little slow, but there is no problem for me to wait half a second before a program starts.
I wish you all a great summer. Harald from Norway

@haraldbig
Bearing in mind that updating is irreversible, it is appropriate that due consideration is given to pro's and con's of carrying this out; if it ain't broke why fix it?
Bearing this resource in mind I would certainly see what the reaction is upon forum to this update before being too hasty:http://www.conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/29/upda​tes-to-symbian-3-2-and-5-0/

  • Why only n97 got fireware update but N97 mini dont...

    Why only n97 got fireware update but N97 mini dont have

    Remember, the Product Code really has something to do with the product. It might be called the same, it might look the same but it could have different hardware build in. My guess, and guess is all we can as Nokia does not disclose this information, that a keyboard layout, version of the transceiver, revision of cpu all have an influence on the firmware version that has been tested on the specific device and hence the product code.
    But the two things are particular annoying 1) Nokia not telling why a specific device is exclude from an update 2) Nokia not disclosing if and when an update will be available. Not to mention that they don't inform their own support personell of 1) and 2) so these poor basterds are bound to give misleading and false information.

  • Can v have new update of N97 mini after v12

    is there any possiblity of releasing some performence improvement in N97 mini through some new updates?

    There are software updates after v12, and the last of them did solve a lot of the N97 issues according to what Nokia claimed. Did you get your N97 from your network operator? Often they have there own customised versions of the phone software, and if that is the case then Nokia has to wait for the network to approve updates before it can release them.

  • [N97 mini - UPDATED] Well known bug: "camera alrea...

    I updated my N97 mini device to latest fw which is 30.04.
    Like whenever I capture image with my camera, after capturing image I can't interact with the handset.
    Rather it shows "camera already in use".
    I have to wait a lot more rather usual time in order to delete captured image or interact. Is there any solution of this?
    I heard of some mod which arent authorized can fix it. But i don't trust those, neither I think is acceptable to be forced to put "custom" firmware to solve a problem Nokia should have fixed asap.
    Of course I won't buy another Nokia cellphone anymore and I will discourage friends (and they are really many) to do the same because of lack of support.
    Please:
    - don't tell me it is a problem of my phone because it is not (all people with N97 mini have the same problem)
    - don't tell me to reset it or to re-update firmware because it is useless (and I have already tried it)
    - tell me you are awared of the problem and it will be fixed in the next coming firmware release because it is the only thing worth saying
    Thanks for your attention and availability.
    Goodbye.

    Same problem here.
    Nokia Developers;
    Sir/s Maam/s..
    No particular software updates from Nokia in order to fix this "Well known BUG Problem"?

  • N97 mini firmware update seriously needed

    hi all,
    Its been ages of waiting for a new update for the N97 and N97 mini, one which would do at least the following:
    (1) better UI
    (2) new and better browser with the latest flash support
    (3) freer space on the RAM
    (4) a social app for IM like facebook, twitter, myspace e.t.c
    (5) smileys in our Instant messaging (fed up with words like smileysad)
    (6) a UI that wouldnt use up batteries so fast
    skyee and other nokia staff, thanks for speaking up atleast i must acknowlegde you for confirming that there will be an update. But as you said for chat 2.5 and the firmware update its till further notice. Please give heed to our plight and give us specific date and schedule as you have done for PR 1.1 & 1.2 for symbian ^3 devices.
    Each day i browse through all threads to hear pleasing and helpful news about the firmware update for N97 mini & N97. Please we are loyal customers begging for your support.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK friends, last Sunday once again I went to the customer care and told them about my homescreen problems they didn't care me. They Switch off and on again my phone gave it to me and said ur problem is solved.
    They doesn't try to understand me.
    Suddenly I got angry and fought with them. On the spot I pictured them and forward my complaint to the nokia' with in two days nokia officials contact me ask me about the problem and help me to solve that problem.
    After that I'm not saw that problem again in my phone.
    so if you have any serious problem pls forward your mails directly to the nokia.

  • N97 mini carkit-icon stays continuous in display

    After I have updated my N97 mini (v30.0.004) I discovered following:
    I use a Parrot carkit (connection by bleutooth).
    There is not any problem with pairing and using the carkit.
    After I disconnect the N97 mini from the carkit, the carkti-icon stays continuous in the display (right-top).
    Even when I turn off the Bluetooth function completely, the icon stays.
    Does anybody have a solution???
    Location user: the Netherlands

    Never did a measurement of power-consumption in idle mode. But i have same issue, it is sometimes hard to get 24 hours our of the battery, while my old E71 did work for almost one week with one battery-load.....

  • Help ota on n97 mini

    Hello i am trying to update my n97 mini via ota but it just says checking for updates for ages ;is there a special server setting for ota or something please help im on three network

    The answer is correct, however the answer for 2 is the 'breathing light' which is arround your menu button, if you go Menu-settings-phone-Notification lights-Standby br.light make sure it's set to ON. Then in Notification light set the period of time you want it to 'blink' and tick the events you want to be notified of !
    For 3 there are only two shortcut widgets, but you can 'optimise' them by using apps that perform multi function, ie I have messaging (not txt or email) as one so I can get to all messaging facilities direct from home screen, Opera mini gives instant access to 9 pre chosen web sites (I have FB and Twitter amongst mine) and Snaptu , which offers a multitude of 'applicatios' direct to your homescreen !!
    Good  Luck

  • N97 mini after new fw clock gone

    Hi, i have updated my n97 mini and now the clock is gone from the home screen, does anybody knows any solution for this?

    bizarre - there is no way to get of the clock either.
    I would say reinstall the FW again and do a hard reset - I see no other option.
    I love my purple screen, 1/2 day battery, sketchy touch screen and $800 price tag - I call it my Lumia 900

  • N97 mini further updates (udates after v12.0.110)?...

    Since jul 2010 n97 mini has recieved no updates .... many apps in it are now outdated like 
    1. music player
    2. browser.
    3. top apps dont work.
    4. no interface improvement... like slow ks
    5. etc...etc..
     all other phone like my dads 5800 xm has recieved about 3 new updates.... all bringing improvement to the phone..... 
    please Nokia do something...
    and i request a honest reply by a Nokia person on this post pls... also the tentative dates for update... 

    If you want a reply from Nokia then  you have to ask Nokia, not post a question on a forum populated by other users of Nokia products like yourself.
    The general consensus among users here is, however, that the N97 and N97 mini are abandoned products. They've not been updated since July and August 2010 respectively.
    On the other hand, I did recently see a page on a Nokia site saying that some piece or other of software that they were pushing did require PR2.x (V2x) on the N97 mini and PR3.x (V3x) on the N97 to work correctly. Would Nokia be releasing software that will never run on phones because the required firmware will never be released? It would be a bit stupid, although I wouldn't put it past them.

  • N97 Mini - Does nokia have any plans to update??? ...

    I have a very simple question.
    does nokia still support this phone?
    I have always been an avid nokia supporter, but, recently, i have started to question my loyalty.
    I, like many thousands of other n97 mini users paid a lot of money for the phone, yet, we seem to be left high and dry... there has been no improvements added for the phone since the last firmware update, no additions.. nada.
    are we all expected to keep this phone with the lousy 12.*.* software and get nothing but a slow, almost useless phone?  or are we going to get some kind of update?
    or has it gotten to that time when we all say Hi Android?????

    If I remember correctly, the last update was supposed to be an "interim" update until the next version/release came out. For what it's worth, since nothing has been forthcoming from Nokia, I've installed N-Desk which installs a much improved desktop application, similar to the I-phone's, and Maze Lock which provides an easier to use locking application. With both of these installed, you have a more consistent, easier to use interface. Enough so my wife has stopped complaining about how long it takes to get something done on the phone.
    I still hope Nokia will come out with another release in the near future.
    I hope this helps.

  • Software Update for Nokia N97 Mini

    Hello, 
    I'm curious when will there be a new software update for Nokia N97 mini.
    The latest update was on June or July last year v30.0.004 
    Would be cool to update it, don't you agree? Almost a year now....

    Hi Abhishek23,
    As the N97mini is an older model, its software development and maintenance cycle has ended a number of years ago. There will be no more firmware updates for this device, and every other Symbian device produced in the last few years.....as Symbian is now in maintenance mode and the focus is on the Asha line and the Windows Phone platform of which Lumia is part of.
    Nokia should have brought the same improvements to N97 mini which were included in the 41.x.xxx and 42.x.xxx software versions for the C6-00. After all, apart from the camera the C6-00 is the same device as the N97 mini, so it should have been fairly trivial. They are not major changes by no means, but useful.
    Unfortunately there is at least one major bug left even in the latest C6-00 firmware: http://www.developer.nokia.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153
    It also affects N97 mini with 30.0.004, but it appears Nokia is not going to fix it on either device.

  • N97 mini, no update available?

    I've got a norwegian N97 Mini, and I still have not got the newest update for it, v. 11.0.0.45. When will it come to my phone. whenever i try the nokia software updater, it just says i have the newest
    one (10 something).
    It's been several days, why haven't i got it yet?

    different suppliers have handsets 'branded' to there own specification, and will not allow you to update 'till they approve the update, if you go to your local store they may be able to shortcut the system, otherwise you just need to check NSU regulally untill update is 'allowed' on your phone !
    Sorry
