N81 8gb Software Update problems (bad!)

hi i have an N81 8gb phone, great phone but now, its as good as a paper weight, heres whats goin on, the 1st time i updated the software everything was fine and the update went smooth after a few months of use and heavy download (i mean 8GB! a lot of **bleep**) i decided to reinstall the software and start clean slate, so midway into the update the phone just froze and the status bar wasnt moving, and i thought to myself 11 mins seems forever, scary! after an hour i decided to just push some buttons just maybe to "wake up " the phone, but to no avail, man, i was like ok, so i pulled the plug and took out the battery and when i restarted my computer and clicked on the update program, it said i have to reinstall the SOftware and what not. but the problem is everytime it reaches 11 mins left it would spit out an error message saying phone connection lost, then i would have to do it again, after 5 days of trying to update, still the same. 11 mins to me now is a nightmare. PLease help or advise,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi,
can you try this:
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
if that doesnt help you at all, you better run to the nearest nokia care point

N81 8gb firmware update - language change?

Hi Everyone,
I've bought an N81 8gb which has Chinese, English, and Melayu as language set. I'm currently living in China and therefore the Chinese language set is crucial; however, I know that N81 8gb is not officially released in China and therefore, there is no official firmware update from China.
My current device firmware is at V.10.0.053 RM-179. If I use the PC suite's software updater, will I lose the chinese language set on my phone? Has anyone lost their languages after updating?
I'm a bit weary to do try because I updated my girlfriend's bought in China N72 which reverted to the Nokia Europe site but the device software only had French, English, Italian and no Chinese after installing the update.

It's not possible to upgrade offline.
The nokia software updater needs an active broadband internet connection to be able to work.
As an alternative you could get our phone updated at a nokia care point.

N81 8gb software update - different product keys l...

My n81 8gb is getting an error message saying that the camera is not supported, and games that I deleted keep showing and are able to play, and they cant be uninstalled on application manager.
So, as I read in some topic about "n81 2gb camera not supported", I though I should update the software on my n81, but when I entered the product key of my phone, the version was the one that I have(v20.0.056), and everyone is talking about some v21. When I changed one of the numbers of the product key, it appeared v21!
Why is it different? Why cant I have it and someone else can?
Is it going to work on my phone?
thank you in advance

the product code indicates the different variants of the phone ie : phones of the same model but manufactured for different countries or even different network operators
in this case here, if there is no update for ur product code, its possible that ur phone is a network locked phone and any updates for it will only be released once the network provider approves of the s/w changes made in the update

N81 8GB: software update to add russian language p...

Hey,
could anyone tell me what software update am I to do, in order to get russian language on my phone?
Message Edited by t_writer on 04-Aug-2008 11:05 AM

To get the language on your phone you need to take it to a nokia care point. They will be able to install the russian language pack for you. It is not available for the user to install.
Any other method will void your warranty and cannot be discussed on this forum.

N81 8GB update

i have N81 8GB its product code 0552048 i always hav pc suite remainder say new software update available 21.0.010 and whn i try 2 update my device no responce its say no software available now whn i try check my product code on nokia web site it say Sorry, there is no software currently available for that product code via the Nokia Software Update tool. plz hep

is your phone branded to the provider? if it is then only provider can approve an update for your phone. if the phone was bought unlcoked/unbranded it could also be that the product code /region has not gotten the firmware update release yet. updates are released over a course of months sometimes even longer if translation comes into play. so these could be the reasons why you can't udpate your device

How to delete a corrupt software from your N81 8GB

Hello all.
I'm new to this and i was just wondering if anyone could help me.
I need to delete or remove a corrupt software on my N81 8GB.
The problem is that nothing is working and i don't want to format my mass memory.
Though if formatting is my only resort how can i back up my mass memory and keep my data safe?
Any other way to remove it?
Anything is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Download Nokia PCSuite 7.1.18.0 and Nokia Software Updater 1.4.85 from Nokia site, then install NPCS first. Connect phone. Then NSU. After that make a memory backup, first on your memory card, next by Content copier from NPCS. After this Open NSU and follow commands.
But after backup memory you can try to soft reset by dialing *#7370# this reformat your phone and restor software as from factory, but with latest software, if you updated.

N81 8GB and maps: internal memory lost!!!!

My brand new N81 8GB has 16MB of free internal memory and somewhat 8GB of free external memory (where internal memory in the phone memory [C drive] and external memory is the memory card [E drive]).
The N81 comes preinstalled with the Nokia Maps software, but no maps are pre-loaded.
According to NOKIA, to upload maps on the N81 you need [STEP 1] first to update the Nokia Maps software ON THE PHONE and [STEP 2] then install and run the Nokia Maps Loader from the computer.
The problem that is reported here has nothing to do with [STEP 2] (which works fine and correctly uploads maps on the N81 external memory) but happens already at [STEP 1].
So, starting with an N81 with 16MB of free internal memory, I connect it to the pc in PC SUITE MODE and I install the Nokia Maps software update, and after installation the phone internal memory goes down to 8MB!!!!!!!!!
So, by simply updating the Nokia Maps software (not even the maps) 8MB of internal memory are lost.
I have tried anything to gain back those 8MB, but could not find any solution. I have even tried with X-plore looking into every single hidden and system folder: nothing!!!!!!!!!
The only way was to do a hard reset of the phone and reinstall all software (or a backup, if you have one).
By the way, the Nokia Maps Loader uploads the maps on the phone even if you do not do the Nokia Maps software update.

Same here, but with a non-8GB N81, and it's internal memory is at 1.3MB!

N81 8GB Alarm/Day date problem

Hi new member here. Have N81 8GB Have workday alarms set Mon-Fri they work fine. Always switch my phone off at night, so I switch on Saturday, and phone day and date is still Friday and have to alter it. Have tried using auto time update and makes no difference time zone is ok GMT+1 hour. Anybody else having this prob or am I doing something wrong?

Hi again!
I found a way to make my 6110 Navigator (S60 3rd) change the date on weekend also i use alarm on workday!!!
Let it not call a fix let it call a trick to manage this s60 3rd prob.
On the 6110 you can set more then one alarm...
I use one alarm on workday - wake me up at 6.45 in the morning on workay.
I programmed a second alarm for EVERY DAY (7 a week ) starting at 8.00 in the evening (cause this is a time the alarm doesnt disturb me).
Cause of the second alarm / since i set it - the date change works absolutely reliable.
Hope i could help out.

Nokia N81(8GB) Alarm Problem

Hi all,
I have recently updated my N81(8GB) to the latest firmware version i.e. V 21.0.008 and alongwith other minor issues I am facing a rather annoying problem. The problem is that when I set an alarm and turn off the mobile the Alarm sounds at that particular time but when I choose the option snooze it wont sound after the snooze period is over It'll only sound again when I Switch the mobile on. I just wanted to know whether this is happening with every other person who updated their N81 to this firmware version or is this glitch unique to me. Eagerly waiting for reply as the Alarm functionality is a commonly used feature and it should not go wrong.
Regards,
Umair

I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, now I want to delete the bad update.

I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and it won't print a pdf, all it does is stall at the very beginning of the printing and hangs up. Adobe: How Do I Delete this bad update? I need to use this as a pdf maker. Thanks for your help.

It deletes the entire program (just click on the link and that is what it tells you). The only way I know to backup is to reinstall. When you say it will not print a PDF, I assume you mean create one from some other application using the Adobe PDF printer. It is probably worth trouble shooting the issue a bit as it may be a simple problem.
First, what os are you running, and if Windows xx is it 32 or 64-bit? Have you tried to print to file with the printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the creation? If that works, is AcroTray running in the background? You may actually have to stop it if it is and restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder).

Do you mean in general or just on hte N81? because videos are restored on my N95 to when i reinstall FW
Generally. However SW upgrade on N82 allows to keep user data. Where your videos were stored? MM card?

Unable to install Ovi Maps 3.1 on N81 8gb

One of my older phones i've recently upgraded it to the latest firmware v11.0.045 RM-179. I've been trying to install the latest ovi maps onto the phone but keep getting the error insufficient disk space. So far I've removed most of the installed demos off the c-drive that i know won't be used, but i've only managed to get upto 8mb free from a whopping 25mb c-drive!!
There isn't a c-drive cleanup program like we have on the N97 either. I've installed DrJukka to see what's on the z-drive but i've no idea what to clean up. I've removed all cache and privacy stuff from internet too.
Anyone out there have any positive ideas on how i can free up some more disk space?
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to get the free navigation working on my N81 8GB. I have tried multiple times to format and load nokia maps which loads maps 3.1 on the mobile phone. I am doing this using Map updater and map loader. Whenever I start a navigation the phone needs to go online to the shop and then takes me to the page to purchase a 1 month or 1 year subscription.
When the navigation is free then why pay.
I purchased a bluetooth gps device to connect to my phone so that I could use the free navigation but cannot use it.
Can I get the ovi maps 3.3 sis for mobile by email. I have been trying to get the free navigation for almost 2 months after purchase of the phone.
