Whilst it would be nice for a reply from Nokia - this forum from Nokia is a One-Way Conversation with them - they "sometimes" read but dont ever reply, as this is designed to be a Peer-to-peer forum, so the only replies you'll get are from interested/well informed users, and may not be gospel truth.
They choose not reply which can frustrate most new users, the older ones tend to just put up with it. /end
The online code number checker is sometimes behind. When the release is official, then it normally appears on this page: http://www.nokia.co.uk/link?cid=EDITORIAL_799361 as have all the other updates.
When it does you will, depending on if your handset has a branded specific software, be able to download and install it, when its released for your product code. Until then you have to sit tight.
I dont know why some service points have it, perhaps they have it for beta testers or something. I know I use every function on my phone and if there is a fault in the software I'm highly likely to find it. Unless they are adding more stuff into the N95 the current V20 performs pretty well.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

N95 & Auto-Rotate Function in V21.0.016

Wife & I both have new N95's RM-159 from 3.
Firmware Version is V21.0.016 as mentioned in subject line.
What neither phone seems to have is the auto-rotate function. After hours of searcing I've been unbale to find out why with this version of the firmware this isn't supported on these phones. Under Display settings no mention of auto-rotate. I've checked software updater & am told the FW is the latest revision.
Do I need to install the accelerometer plugin to get this function to work as you have to do with rotateMe(c)Samir?
Any help would be appreciated before I ring 3 customer services and ask them why it isn't supported.
TIA.

Your phones are normal.
The N95 doesn't have that function as part of it's firmware. Only the N95 8GB has had this feature added in the v20 firmware.
The firmware on the N95 is not the same as the firmware on the N95 8GB.
It is rumoured that the feature will be in the next firmware release for the N95 which is due in the next few months.
So the only way to get auto rotate on the old N95 is to install a program like rotateme.

N95-3 NAM firmware upgrade to 35.2.001 - broken Ov...

Last night I noticed that 35.2.001 was available for my RM-160. I successfully upgraded it.
I was able to upgrade Download! to get OviStore working for a little while, but now I have the following two situations:
1) the OviStore app reports (in a system error dialog kinda box) "Store: Feature not supported". I tried a soft reset, but it didn't help. No idea why this one is broken.
2) the web version of the ovi store (nokia.mobi, then click Store) reports "We're sorry. Ovi Store is currently not available for your device. Please check back as the new Nokia devices are being added frequently. ........." Is the website not recognizing the new browser version with 35.2.001?
So again, this is a N95-3 running 35.2.001. just upgraded last night.

Have you tried going to store.ovi.com in the phone browser and downloading the client manually? I've found that the "Download!" replacement in the phone operating system, and a seperately-installed client, can co-exist. You have two icons, mind.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

Nokia N95 8Gb New Firmware Version 20.0.016

So I installed the new version, but after doing that I keep having problems with my phone.First it took me about 5h to make the restore, and I had to do it a few times, 'cause either the phone blocked or something else..but ok.
since then, every time I put the phone on it takes me ages to turn on, and as soon as the display stops showing the hands(nokia hands) it becomes black, and after a few minutes it tells that it couldn't install all the things from the mass memory and if I wanted to do that I should do it from the app manager. BUT... just after this message gets of(sometimes it doesn't it just gets blocked), the phone starts to install something, you cannot stop it, and again it gets blocked. it needs about 10 to 30 minutes to be normal.
Does anybody knows what is it about?!?!?
please help me wih this problem

Perhaps lots of apps are installed on your memory card.
You can delete them permanaently from APP manager
OR
You can reinstall them again in APP manager.
Because you installed many apps in past ,They may not install now.To insatll them you may need to set a appropriate date in PAST.

N95-1 V21.0.016 HIDE APPLICATION ICON AFTER INSTAL...

I used Sandisk 4GB SDHC card with my N95-1 V21.0.016, currently had all my mp3, MV,internet links, photos, wallpapers, software, & games all installed in this 4GB card except "Yahoo Go" in phone memory (as advised by Yahoo), my 4GB card available memory is around 890MB left with 2,989MB used for the above. i found out that original Nokia apllication like "WLAN" icon, "Dictionary" icon, "Search" icon already HIDE in phone ...coz when i go to assign shortcut item, i found there are still exist & still can be assigned shortcut in navigation button but it won't shown in phone menu...anybody know why? I can say that it is pretty good to start a fresh upgrade firmware like V21.0.016 for N95-1 with fresh installing ie not RESTORE from previous firmware back up data...but we had thounand of valuable data ..so what can we do? So when think of this important data , we r sure to restore bac. Once restore sometime depends LUCK..If lucky enough all data restored is OK & workable but not all the time is so good..I already reformat V21.0.016 three times but there is some problem must be happen....tired !

Something you are installing. Some third party application is causing this problem.
Try NOT installing all those games and other applications or install one by one until you find which one is causing the problem.

Definitely a no brainer!
I find it very odd that a sandisk class 6 card is cheaper than a sandisk class 4 card???
Of course it's odd!
I think the answer is just that prices are quickly dropping, especially on newer models, and the "class 4" prices are just "old" prices of items already in stock.
The italian online-shop site I was browsing (a reliable site, AFAIK), looking for the card, sells "class 4" for 39,49 euros and "class 6" for 35,89 euros.
And it seems they just retouched the higher price: just a couple of days ago, on the same site, "class 4" model price was about 45 euros! I think now they are trying to sell all "class 4" they have in stock, whereas they say they have no "class 6" in stock at the moment (I could just order it).
Thanks everybody for the clarifications.

New firmware for nokia n95 v21.0.016

greetings all,
i own a nokia n95 classic. and there is new firmware available is v21.0.016 which has few interesting features. and i would like to update to that....
but it is available only at ncp......
which asks to keep your device for a day or more... and they perform lot of rnd on it....( cannot guarantee ).
i cannot trust them...(specially in my city).
so when this firmware is available through nokia software update software...........

not all product codes has v21, try to wait a little while and it should be available for yours.
Feel free to hit the KUDOS button if you think I deserved it.........

N95 V21.0.016 UPGRADED WITH 4GB CARD - PHONE DEAD ...

IT IS WELL, VERY GOOD & FAST FOR MY N95-1 UPGRADED WITH V21.0.016 IF NO MEMORY CARD IS INSERTED. ONCE INSERTED MY SANDISK 4GB (WITH ONLY 3GB USED), IT CAUSE THE PHONE CANNOT BE STARTED....THIS IS REALLY NOT MAKE SENSE AS LATEST VERSION EVEN CAN FUNCTION PROPERPLY EVEN TO 8GB CARD ! NOKIA PLS CHECK WHY MEMORY CARD ALREADY CAUSE THIS PROBLEM! V12.0.014 IS BETTER FOR ME IF NGAGE IS NOT SUPPORTTED V12, I SWEAR I WILL NOT UPGRADE TO V21...PLS SOLVE OUT QUICKLY FOR OUR V21 USER WHO FACING THIS PROBLEM AROUND THE WORLD

i guess this is because of the applications and files already in the memorycard.
why don't you try formating the card (after copying the data elsewhere, if you need it later) and switching on the phone with the formatted card.
if it works, you can install the applications one by one back again and figure out which application is causing the problem.
please let me know if this works.

When is the next firmware released after v21.0.016...

When is the next FW upgrade after V21.0.016 which hav known bugs reported . I hope nokia to rectify it in next FW near soon.....My N95-1 getting slower & slower in response...when boot up it takes 15 minutes, some phone pre-installed function like Nokia Search, Dictionary, WLAN (wifi) already hided inside the phone (cannot see their icons), when receiving calls , i cannot see the loudspeaker function to be on...Video centre cannot be added anymore new services...& many more ...i only used up 3GB data for my Sandisk 4GB card...my phone still hav 58MB space left...i cannot imagine what will happen if more problems coming...

Your problem is elsewhere, not with the firmware.
How many themes and third-party applications have you installed? Did you install them into the phone's memory or the memory card? If your phone takes 15 minutes to start up there's a serious overload somewhere.
Regardless of that, nobody knows when new firmware is due out. It just appears. The thing to do is to check on http://europe.nokia.com/A4577225 periodically.

hi...
I understand your predicament... Its awful 2 experience such a thing.
By the way, i am also using n95 v21 and a sandisk 4gb card.
If i understand it right, after you updated your firmware, you restored the back up settings. And you also mentioned that problem only occurs when you are inserting the memory card.
It doesn't necessarily mean that your memory card is faulty. When i still have v12 and i updated it to v20, i was using a 2gb and it happened to me, so what I did was 2 copy the files stored in my memory card to computer, put back mmc to n95, format mmc and then manually copy back my files from computer to n95/mmc. And it worked for me!
Hope this works for you too.

Battery indicator on N95 v21.0.016

Hello all:
Ever since I updated to the new v21.0.016 firmware, the battery indicator on my N95 acts kind of strange.
For two days it shows a full charge (seven bars) and suddenly, in less than a couple of hour, goes down from seven bars to one bar (no WIFI, no bluetooth, no calls).
Has anyone experienced the same?. It looks like an annoying bug in the new firmware...
........N70, E61, E90, N95, E71, E72, N8

I'd like to update my status. After the upgrade to version 21, the phone couldn'd be connected to the pc too. I got it to a NCC and they said that the phone's board had a problem and had to be sent abroad to nokia to replace it... I'd like to add the following too. At NCC I was told that the update that nokia provides through Nokia Update Manager is not the actual update. If we want to update the phone we will have to take it at a NCC because the update they have is three times bigger in size and it's the full one. (v21 is 166MB through NUM, and the update the NCC has is about 300). When I asked why is this happening they said: "If the full update was provided over the net, then there wouldn't be any reason for the NCC to exit". That's a shame. This conversation took place in Greece. I don't know what other NCC say, or if this is the policy of Nokia in order to get money (they said that the update would cost me 15,5 Euros).
PS The phone was bought 3 months ago, but if they "thought" that i had updated the phone through other software (?) I would have to pay for the actual update anyway....

N95 camera problem v21.0.016

Need help!!! After updating my N95 into v21.0.016, the quality of the camera degraded... I don't know if its the flash.... the flash still flashes but seems that it doesn't have any effect in the image.... TO explain further, I'll give an example: Before, when I take a picture on newspapers or books, I can clearly read the letters printed on it, but now, after upgrading, it's blurred, I can't barely read the letters....
The only good side of this upgrade is that the battery life increases... But still, it really sucks... I want my original camera quality back...

try updating again....im guessing u did a data restore?
instead of doing a data restore try dragging all ur data onto ur desktop and use the same method to replace the data to ur phone......rather than doing a backup
also try to reformat your memory card(this will delete all your data) so make sure u save everything u want via a drag and drop to desktop method
after uve saved everything reinstall the fw
hope this works

N95-1 FW V21.0.016 query...pls help!!!

anybody suffer any problems for this new FW v21.0.016 for N95-1 upgrade? if i don insert memory card , everything seem OK after fresh upgrade...but when i restore back back-up folder via PC suite b4 upgrade (only bac up all phone memory data) & insert my Sandisk 4GB memory card which got mp3, photos...& start my phone...cannot boot up forever...hang..no choices u hav to take out battery...when open menu also very slow like goin to stop...

Yes I have problems too, I backed it up, charged it, connected to Nokia Charger with Nokia supplied memory in. Half way through it said error, remove battery and power, reapply and push power switch. Then it said it was disconnected but it was not and it has been dead ever since. I have tried other usb slots, battery only, battery and another charger.
One thing though. With battery only at least it vibrates when you push the power switch. Add the charger and it does not. Also on battery only, a few devices momentarily show up as being connected, just to vanish again.
I have a feeling it is dead now as it just sits saying nokia.
