N73 Firmware Upgrade

I have just resurrected my N73 phone. I brought a new battery and followed the charging recommendations fully. I decided to upgrade the firmware!. This is where things went wrong. I followed all onscreen procedures on the upgrade program but before I started the upgrade I noticed that with the USB connection made between the phone and the PC, mains charging is locked out!! I therefore fully charged the phone and proceeded onwards. The download was about 75MB and would take ~ 40 mins. In that time, the upgrade caused the phone to fully discharge and wherever, it was in the upgrade would not allow the phone to charge on mains charger. I now have a N73 that will not turn on, charge off the mains - In fact it appears DEAD. Is there anything I can do to bring the phone back to life?!

Connect the charger and charge it for a while, then try turning on.
Next, take out the battery, leave it out for a while, put everything in and try turning on
Next, wait for 15-20 minutes, and then turn on the phone whilst holding down the Call, 3 and * buttons (Hard reset procedure).
If none of these help (as I fear), take it to the nearest Nokia Care point. They would charge for the service if it's not under warranty period

N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?
regards

Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
best regards
Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!

N73 Firmware upgrade- what changes?

I have successfully upgraded my N73 firmware from 2.0628.0.0.1 to 3.0704.1.0.1 but nowhere on Nokia website or anywhere else can I find out what changes or improvements resulted from the upgrade.
Does anyone know where to find a list of changes?
TIA

Thanks
I phoned my local support shop and the know this problem.
Will go there this afternoon, if they can fix it right away
it will be a fast one.
Otherwise the n73 will be replaced; they told me it had to do with bad soldering of the hardware. During FW upgrade these problems pop-up, they do not occur during normal operations......

Nokia N73 Firmware upgrade

I took my N73 which is on 3 network for a firmware upgrade on friday. When I had it done, it wasnt updated at all. I was really disapointed so i asked the guy in the shop why its the same and he said it was that. I was well disapointed because when i manage to get it done it wasnt.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

guys, if it is not on nokia's site yet you need to speak with a nokia engineer, they can do this work for you

N73 Firmware upgrade and PC Suite upgrade

Help!!
I have the N73 but have no clue what version of the firmware I have - where will it tell me?
If it is not the latest I want to upgrade but the Nokia help pages say I need to have the latest version of PC Suite first - which I don't have. So I want to upgrade PC Suite BUT the FAQ says I first need to synchronise something before that - how?
It also says I then need to "Backup your phone memory to your PC using PC Suite (to preserve your OMADRM activation keys, etc.)" and "Copy the original SISX, Java, etc. installation files for your applications, themes, etc. from your Nokia hard drive or memory card to your PC. (Do not simply copy over the installed directories/files.)" - again how?
I really wish Nokia would stop assuming everyone is completely literate with all this kind of stuff - because we are not!!! Step by step idiot guides would be more than helpful please Nokia!!!!!
It's no good Nokia telling people to do this and that without bothering to tell them EXACTLY how - Nokia please note!
Anyway, if anyone can offer somne advice it would be greatly appreciated.

type *#0000# in your phone screen to see what software version you have.
there is another area of topics here:
/discussions/board?board.id=swupdate
view that to learn about software update(the link to the pages in there also)

N73 Firmware upgrade nightmare

Looking for advice, learned ones -
I've had an N73 for 18 months, love the phone, not so crazy on the hanging issues and general speed of operations.
So on the weekend, decided to go with what I had read here and update to latest firmware, confident that would improve things.
Downloaded latest PC Suite and Software Updater. Performed backup to both PC Suite and 2Gb Mini SD card without a hitch.
Software updater ran successfully and took me from 2.0 something to 4.XXX. Phone rebooted successfully, all looked good, just needed to restore data.
That's where the nightmare began!
Went for restore from PC Suite, all seemed to go fine, got to the end where phone screen says "phone will restart". Nothing happened for a while, but the "OK" button was highlighted, so I clicked "OK" thinking it was waiting for permission. Phone went into restart, but only got as far as the Nokia hands screen before a blue-backed message appeared: “Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer”
Yikes, ok, not good. Came in here, looked around for advice on similar situations and tried hard reset etc. etc. No dice, always hanging at same point.
Husband kindly took it to Customer Care on Monday for me, they "fixed" it, but didn't restore data from my backup. So when he got home, we tried backup from SD card to phone. Exactly the same hang-up happened.
Husband has dutifully taken phone back in today, again they have "fixed" it but I asked this time that they perform a restore from backup at the Centre. Guess what? Yep, same issue. Their "advice": well, it was garbled, to be honest. First they tried telling me that there was no data on the SD card, then they switched the story to "there is something wrong with the data".
I would possibly believe that if the exact same thing hadn't happened during PC Suite restore. I have the .nbu file here. Any way to test it's integrity? Can I "read" the backup somehow on PC Suite?
Incredibly, I asked Nokia Care Centre to please prove it was a problem with the card and not the phone, by using my card in another Nokia phone. Their reply: they didn't have another Nokia phone to test that. Really? I have some older model Nokias spare lying around, but I don't think the data will be compatible.
About 300 contacts there that I really don't fancy rebuilding from scratch
Advice welcome, please.
I'm in Hong Kong, if that makes a difference.

Proud user of Nokias since 1994: Nokia 101, anyone?

At the risk of having a conversation with myself...
So much for the Hong Kong Nokia Care Centre! I *knew* that they were glossing over the problem yesterday, by insisting that the memory card and PC Suite backups must be corrupt, as the phone, in their opinion was fixed.
As it turns out, my husband also has an N73. And yesterday he decided to upgrade to an N95. So once we backed up his phone and copied his "stuff" across to the N95, I had a spare blank N73 to play with. And yep, my data backup restore from PC Suite went to his N73 just fine.
What to do now? Unfortunately husband's N73 is hammered and looking pretty shabby, whereas mine still looks good, so I actually would prefer to get mine working properly again. How to convince Nokia Customer Care that there must be something wrong with data transfer to my N73?
Or should I just give up and be glad I have my data back on a working phone (and believe me, I'm very glad about that!!)
Could it be something to do with firmware versions on the respective N73's? Mine is now running v4.0812.4.3.1 (21-3-2008). His is running v 2.0628.0.0.1 (10-7-2006). I'm not game to update the firmware on his, lest the whole thing start over again!
Opinions??

Nokia N73 Firmware Upgrade Problems

I just upgraded my firmware. I backed up before. I've restored the backup, and now many of my applications are missing, and so are ALL of my contacts. I know these were backed up as I remember checking the log after the backup to make sure that they were, and it said they all were successfully.
One strange thing, in my call log, and in my messages, they still have their names? And also, these were not stored on the simcard, they were stored on the phone. I also have a memory card that I didn't backup, as it wasn't needed too.
If anyone can help, I still do have the backups. Even if they'res a program that can read the nokia backups, I can just manually save contacts.
Cheers
Kieron

hmmm...try to do the hard reset on the phone and maybe remove the memory card and do the restore again. you know what, to prevent this from happening again in the future, make sure to copy ur contacts in ur sim card...thats what i do...

N73 Firmware Update & Restore of Phonebook/Message...

Hey all,
I recently updated my N73 Firmware to 3.0704.1.0.1. As you know when upgrading it wipes the phone. When I restarted I restored my last backup from Nokias PC Suite to get names/numbers/messages transfered over again to the phone. Unfortunatly in doing this it seems to have removed some of the new firmware features (clock with 'am/pm' screensaver etc.). Do any of you know how to get this back? I've had a look in settings but can't see anything.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I've understood it's quite normal that the update prosedure may seem to stop even for some minutes and then go on again. The connection between the phone and computer will also break and then reconnect couple of times...
Are you sure, you did wait long enough before unplugging your phone (at least some minutes)?
But if your phone has the new firmware now and everything is working fine so I hope there is no problem!

N73 firmware version 4.0735.3.0.2 won't pair over ...

I've updated my N73's firmware to 4.0735.3.0.2 and it will no longer pair over Bluetooth with my MacBook Pro or iBook. Nor can I send files to and from the phone. It simply drops the connection.
I'm running Leopard, but it was working fine with that on a version 3 firmware.
I've seen this issue reported in other threads on this forum.
Are Nokia aware of this issue? When will an updated firmware be released?

Yeah, but I didn't buy a nice shiny new phone just to lose functionality that works perfectly with my three-year old Motorola. I'd rather stick with something that works all-round than pay extra money and get something that doesn't.
The N73 looked like pretty much the ideal phone for me, but there are contenders out there that _do_ work fine with Leopard and Bluetooth, as far as I can tell, and if I can get things working just by buying one of those versus doing bizarre firmware upgrade things (which I'm guessing might be difficult if I've only got access to a Mac?) then that's the way I'll go. I like a simple life

It seems that the newest N73 firmware, 4.0750.31.2.1 has the same issue as the older firmware version. I just upgraded the firmware and tried to pair over bluetooth but it doesn't work.
Don't buy a N73 if you are using OS X 10.5

PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

FIXES:
-Ensures correct playback on the player of Zencast audio content that has been transferred using Zencast organiser. Remaining time is displayed correctly, and rewind / fast-forward functions can be used
- Allows users to transfer tracks between folders on the player when using a program such as Creative Mediasource [THIS IS NEEDED FOR ALL MTP PLAYERS]
- Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player
3) Adds SmartVolume EQ feature to the player
4) Adds DJ menu to the player
5) Allows user to partition a section of the player for data transfer
6) Allows user to synchronise tasks from Outlook to the player

Firmware upgrade crippled cp1025nw

LaserJet CP1025nw color: was working flawlessly
received email from HP 4/3/2012, recommending firmware upgrade to v 20120130.
ran upgrade 4/3/2012 from iMac, OS10.6.8.
got error: 'update failed'
print queue says 'printing', cp1025nw doesn't respond.
printer lights: orange triangle enclosed exclamation mark plus green semicircle
This means: fatal error, per the user manual.
manual instructs to turn off, unplug, plug-in, turn on. I did this several times.
printer lights still indicate: fatal error.
HP utility says: device status: unknown, service ID: unknown, FW version: unknown, driver version 2.0.20110727
                  tried to print configuration page: got error 'cannot establish two-way communication with the device'
                  printer and computer are connected with USB cable, (this cable / port communicates without issue to Epson inkjet printer)
Tried printing from Dell laptop: Latitude E6410 with USB cable: Windows XP professional, 2002, service pack 3.
                  has routinely printed from this computer previously.
error message in printer queue: 'error - printing',
Dell said 'found new hardware' tried to install with HP cd-rom
                  error message said 'the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software'
ran the HP print diagnostic utility HPPDU.exe file from the Dell with USB cable: 'Everything checks out okay with your printer'
print test page: no response from the cp1025nw
What should I try next?

Since my last post I’ve retried the same troubleshooting described before, this time just from the PC. The result is still the same. Lights on the cp1025nw indicate “fatal error”.
Does anyone know how to put this printer into ‘bootcode’ mode? I’ve read about this in some other posts about HP firmware updates trashing printers.

and

Is there some combination of button presses that sends the printer into bootcode so it is ready to accept the firmware?
