N70 - Upgrading Firmware - Pros & Cons?

Hi All,
I've been using an N70 for a couple of months now, and it's been suggested I have the firmware updated, but I've seen a couple of posts in here and heard from other people about the possibility that my network (o2) won't support the updated version... This seems really confusing as the firmware's only on the handset and shouldn't be anything to do with the network...
Could anyone let me know if there's anything I may need to worry about?
Thanks,
Rick

If you upgrade to the latest O2 version of firmware then O2 and Nokia will still provide you with full support for your handset. So no need to worry there. Any of your warranties will remain unaffected.
The discussions you have been reading relate to when you upgrade a branded handset with Nokia generic firmware in order to de-brand the handset. Most discussions centre around the fact that the majority of owners who are on the Orange network that post here are desperate to rid themselves of Orange's additions to the standard user interface. Their only two options are to return the handset to Orange and buy a SIM free version, or take their existing hanset for a firmware upgrade to generic Nokia firmware. In the latter of the scenarios, they will invalidate any warranties that they may have with their network provider but rather surprisingly they would also void any warranty from Nokia too.
In summary, in your case if you upgrade to the latest O2 firmware, then you would have no problems so you can rest easy

  • Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?

    Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?  

    Hi,
    as such there is no DOC but I can share my views:
    Under Pros:
    a. PCD is an application use to migrate older versions[6.1.5, 7.x , 8.x] running on MCS to VM servers.
    b.It can be used to change the IP address or hostname on new servers without affecting existing version .
    c. Many users using MCS Hardware are not willing to migrate to latest version because of existing HW not supporting interim releases which they have to hop through to get on to the target release.
    d. Further, this requires license re-hosting as well for interim releases and major downtimes as well which can be avoided by using PCD without disturbing existing setup.
    e. Also, DRAM/HDD sizing needs to be considered while doing migration on MCS.PCD addresses these issues for migration.
    Under CONS:
    a. It needs to be ordered through Product Upgrade Tool and bootable is not downloadable from Cisco site.
    b. You could face some issues while doing migration which could be bugs but can be resolved.
    c.could face issues while discovering  cluster/doing migration but can be resolved.

  • What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems?

    What are the pros/cons of having 1 large BI system versus 2 medium systems?  Are there any known limits as to how large a BI system can be until it experiences performance problems?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I dont think there is any limit as long as your DB and Apps servers support it.
    There are case studies on systems from 20 TB to 60 TB.
    Regarding having two meduim installations it may not be a right choice if you consider facts like routine maintenance, DB upgrades and reorganization, number of resources required, number of DEV and QUAL servers required (this will increase as each PROD requires one DEV and one QUAL atleast).
    If you have a single PROD you can do away with this.
    One DEV , one QUAL and a single team of dedicated resources are required to maintain the system.
    Try this Help files.

  • Can't Upgrade Firmware in Officejet 8000 Wireless Printer

    I've been using this HP 8000 Officejet wirelss with a single usb connection without any issues at all. I set up a two computer wireless network with this printer also being wireless several days ago. No issues at all with the setup. The printer worked fine with test prints, etc. After several hours though I found the printer would loose connection as far as being able to print. It shows up as an avaialble printer, but will not print. A complete powerdown of the printer is necessary to get it working again. This would happen about every 2 to 3 hours. So I tried connecting the printer to the router with an ethernet cable. The problem is not as frequent now, but still happens. The firmware of this printer is 0842BR. There is a firmware upgrade for this particular printer which is supposed to fix issues with network connectivity plus a few other things. I cannot get this firmware upgrade to work with either Windows XP or Windows 7. In XP I get the error message: Firmware Download Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. In Windows 7 if I just run the file, it extracts to about 47% and then just disappears. If I try to run it in compatibility mode, it says there is a problem with the file.
    Can anyone please help me with getting the firmware upgraded, or does anyone have any suggesting on getting this printer to work reliabily on a network. I havee another Officejet Pro 8000 wireless at home on my home wireless network and it works perfectly. It has different firmware though. Thank you for your help!

    I had similar problems trying to install the firmware from two different PC's running Windows 7-32-bit and Windows 7-64 bit.
    I had an older system with a clean install of Windows XP SP3 that this Printer had never been connected to.
    I downloaded and installed the latest "Basic" Printer Driver as well as the Firmware Upgrade to that PC.
    I powered off the printer and disconnected and reconnected the AC power supply to assure a clean power up state.
    I left the USB cable disconnected until the driver installation directed me to connect it.
    I installed the "Basic" Driver for USB connectivity. I initially had connectvity problems trying to "talk to" the printer but switching to a different USB Cable solved that problem.
    After all the above, the Firmware install went as described in the HP description. 
    The printer now reports the upgraded Firmware Version of "1006BR"
    I hope my experience helps you with your firmware install.

  • Pros & Cons of Using SAP PI Interfaces for Report Generation

    Hi Guru's
    I have a Scenario's like
    I have to generate a customized report in SAP with the main data's available in SAP ECC and some required data available in the Legacy System.
    I want to know the Pros & cons of using SAP PI RFC/Proxy adapter interface to get the data from the legacy system for each time the user execute the report in SAP ECC.
    Thanks in Advance

    There are couple of "dimensions" to consider in your PI interface design. For exemple when you are running the sizing exercise (Since we are considering adding a net new interface), you will need to capture specific information about new interface.i.e. S/A, adapters, frequency, avg payload size. etc..Note that the last two attributes will be hard to size properly in this case since you can't predict how frequent the end user will run the report which will impact the latency time required to pull the data. Latency will affect the user experience as visible side affect and definitely the SLA for other interfaces running at the same time.
    On the other hand, the data you are trying to retrieve from the legacy won't be used for transactional purpose but for the end user to pull KPIs from the system which can affect ECC as well. You may end up doing lot hot fixes for your report (Assuming that the report is a medium complexity code)
    There are other factors to consider but let's consider these are the major one.

  • How can I use firefox with pro con latte extention on a linux OS that runs via a USB?

    What linux distro to use?
    What version of firefox to use? (Since it has to be compatible with pro con latte)

    Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
    ''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
    The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

  • Upgraded to pro X and having issues with form created in pro 9

    I created a form in LiveCyle using Pro 9, the form was created for an employer who had to buy Pro X so I was upgraded to Pro X.  Here are the issues I am having, This form was the first time I have ever created a form and I have never used Java Script so there is no scripting involved. 
    1) With Pro 9, if I opend the form with adobe instead of LiveCycle I could delete pages.  Now with Pro X I can not however I can delete pages in PDF's that I did not use LiveCycle on.  How do I enable exert, delete, insert, etc....
    2) I was told that with Pro X it was possible to set the form so that when it's emailed back to the employer after being filled out, it could be secure.  I have not been able to figure out how to set that up.  The employer needs to receive the completed PDF as a PDF with the information that was input secure (socials, etc... ).  If I set up an email button the employer receives a list for information and that does not work for them. 
    3) The employer would like to have a few fields that they input in the form then secure them or make them read only so the employee can not modify.  I know how to do it design mode but it prevents them from being able to input the information they want (employee number for example).
    Java Script is totally foreign to me as I am not an IT person I am a novice computer user that is self taught.  If I am going to have to learn this, can anyone suggest a website or book for beginners?
    Thank you for any help you can provide....
    Heather

    Hi Heather,
    There are a few things going on.
    Firstly, forms that are created in LC Designer are fundementally different to native PDF documents. LC Designer forms are known as XFA Forms and are placed in a PDF wrapper, so that they can be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However a lot of the normally editing options (like deleting pages) that you can perform on a native PDF, you cannot do on an XFA Form.
    You can set up the form to be emailed back and there are a number of options. The example here (http://assure.ly/dYQFb4 and http://assure.ly/hM2A5y) looks at the standard Submot by Email button down to custom buttons, depending on the functionality you need/want.
    One of the things you need to bear in mind is that for users with Reader to be ble to submit the form back as a PDF, it first needs to be Reader Enabled. This is something you can do in Acrobat before you send out the form, but there are license restrictions. See here . http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    You can set up a solution that locks the fields in the form, prior to submission, but you are getting into scripting. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.
    When it comes to resources... see my recommendations here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4186925#4186925.
    I hope that helps,

    Can someone walk me through the steps of assigning the static IP to the "wireless network connection" referred to in the last post? I would assume you would right click on My Network Places, then right click on the "wireless network connection", but give me the steps after that. I don't want to screw anything up. Also, is it necessary to turn the router off, or can I just temporarily disable the connection on my laptop?

  • What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

    Used Firefox for a long while. Bookmarks morphed to Xmarks, which in turn has been acquired twice. I continue to use the newer Xmarks. In process of setting up a new computer, found that Firefox has it's own bookmarks sync.
    Like to keep things as simple as possible. Does Firefox sync do all that Xmarks does? What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

    I am not in a business environment, just my home. So, I don't know your specific requirements. I operate a dual G5 xserve, a dual quad-core mac pro, 6+ Apple MacOSX computers of varying types and several other linux servers plus a couple of Windows machines. If it were me, I would get two mac pro's running MacOSX Server and use one for backup of the other. The xserve RAID is too expensive from my point of view. I copy data from the xserve to several MacOSX computers with firewire drives for my backup and I have every computer on a ups. (I am assuming that they will not all fail at once!
    I run Tiger servers and would suggest that you significantly test Leopard before committing to it.
    Hope that helps.
