N96 Firmware v12

Has anyone updated to this firmware yet in the UK and if so has it finally sorted the WiFi bug ppl have been having with the Sky/Netgear broadband router x

The Sky/Netgear bug is a bug in the router's firmware rather than in the phone.
This said, I have noticed a marked improvement in WLAN connectivity on my N96 (connecting to a generic Netgear wireless access point) since I updated to V12.
There are other improvements that mean it's worth updating anyway even if it doesn't solve your Sky broadband problem.

N96 Firmware v12 - Availability

Hi discussionists ,
I have an Australian Nokia N96 with v11.018. I want to update to v12 since it came out but my phone version (phone code) doesn't support it yet.
Will it ever be able to update?
Will a new version come out soon that allows me to update?
The lag on my phone is driving me crazy.
Thanks!!

If you are on 02 and got your phone from CWH it is most likely unlocked.
Two points here.
Unlocked and locked is not the issue here. The issue is operator branding. A phone can be branded and unlocked.
Secondly, CPW seem to have their own product codes for phones, which means that updates for phones bought off them are just as late as if the phones were operator-branded.
If you want a generic phone with early access to updates then CPW is not the answer.

N96 firmware updats on a Mac or Windows 7?

Iv got firmware v12 and would like to update the firmware to v30 on my N96, touble is there seems to be no support to do this on a mac or windows 7???
I even installed a virtual xp os on both systems, but in both cases the phone is detected and works fine running PC Suite......but in both it fails to detect the N96 when running the nokia updater?
also using the phones upade option though *#0000# fails as it says no updates avalable from Nokia.

Have you checked that v30 is available for your product code, http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-updat...
I've heard that some people have managed to get NSU working under Win7, there are a few threads in the SW updates section if you want to search
You could also take the phone to a nokia care point and have them do the update

N96 - Firmware 30.0.33 Changelog? Anyone?

Where can I find the N96 firmware 30.0.33 changelog?

changelogs contain the changes made from previous firmware versions to the new firmware version updates. however, these are considered confidential information by Nokia and are not released into the public domain. your best bet is to read up on users subjective experiences by Googling for the firmware changes/improvements/bug fixes etc.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us

Mfe not working proper on N96 firmware v30

Dear Sir,
i have changed my phone from nokia n95 to nokia n96,
firmware version 30.x.
Mfe doesn't work with charm here.
I have attached log file for your further help.
I have to uninstall it and reinstall it every.
Mail For Exchange Error -15032 is one of the errors.
Hope to hear very positive from you.

I think the only thing you can try now is a hard reset. Unfortunately it means that all the data in your phone's internal memory (C: drive) is lost, so unless you've done a backup recently...
With the phone switched off, press simultaneously the 3, * and green 'call' buttons. Keep them pressed in and switch the phone on. Do not release them until you see signs of life such as the Nokia logo or the region selection screen.
It may take somewhat flexible fingers and more than one attempt to do this.
If it doesn't solve the problem then your only course of action is to take your phone in to your local Nokia Care Point.

N96 (firmware 30.33 ,lastest version) BT connectio...

Hi, I got one problem with my N96(firmware 30.33 ,lastest version) with NOKIA headset BH-904. In the first week, there was NO any problem in BT connection. After that, my N96 would cut off BT connection with BH-904 every time about 3 seconds right after recognize & connect. My N96 is able to connect other BT headset. My BH-904 is also able to connect other cell phone. It seems to be a N96 BT compatibility problem !!!!! Can any NOKIA guys fix it ???

Dear friends,
I'm not a real technology expert - but guess what. I bought BH-904 and used it succesfully about 1.5 weeks with E71. No problems at all. But then BH-904 just disconnected. And then never were able to connect more than 30 seconds with E71. Just like that.
Nothing helps: Resetting or charging the BH-904, deleting all BT pairs in E71, factory reset of the E71, uploading the latest firmware on E71, resetting and building all the settings from scratch. Always the same result - BH-904 connects to the E71 and disconnects in 2...30 seconds. Always the same.
If connecting to a new(another phone, seems to stay connected longer time - but no experience whethet the same happens in one week.
E71 works fine with BT with a computer. Worked one year with BH-900.
I had no other option than return the BH-904 for repair.
Rgrds, Henrik

Firmware v12 N96

well ive just updated my N96 to the latest V12 firmware and boy it sucks x 1)ive not seen any visible improvement on v11 no new apps games themes start ups still just as slow and annoying x 2)the wifi bug is still there im still unable to connect to my sky/netgear router 3)moby still turns itself off ive had that pleasure 4xs since new firmware was installed x just like to say thankyou nokia for another great update im so looking forward to firmware v30 dated 2012 when this house brick of a moby finally does what it says on the box it came in x

As you have already been told the sky/netgear problem is caused by the router, not the phone. It works perfectly on almost every other wireless router out there. It even works on netgears that don't carry the sky branding that have newer firmware. This bug is known to netgear, that is why they have fixed it on their routers. You will have to wait for sky to fix it. The same happened when the N95 was released (it didn't work properly, yet older models did).
You may want to get your phone checked out or try a full reset because on my N96 and several of my friends N96's the speed has increased significantly over v11.
I personally have had no crashes or random reboots whilst using v12.
I would like to say thank you to nokia for providing an update in a reasonable time frame that addresses a lot of it's issues.

N96 Firmware Updates

I have got N96 today and I want to update the firware from v12 to v20 but FOTA says v30 is available,please any help about this cuz under v30,the feature is supported.I prefer v20 to 30

Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, you cannot pick and chose which firmware to update to. Nokia suite or FOTA will only offer the latest available version for you to update to.

N96 - Firmware V20 Bugs....

Hi,
I upgraded to the new version 20 firmware the other day... A few things which are not better than v12 (or is it just me)?? 1) you cannot see more than 2 entries on Active standy for the calendar. 2) when you turn the battery tones on silent - you still get an alert when charging or the battery is full 3) when connected to a bluetooth handsfree car kit - in v12 you could set a profile with no warning tones/ i.e. no low battery alert. on v20 I have done then same but it does not work - prompting my car kit to turn off the radio every few minutes to connect to the phone! I have flashed it 3 times now, so it does not look like the handset?
Any ideas - or anybody having the same... might as well get a roll back to v12 if that would ever be possible without frying the handset....
Cheers

Hello, I just updated my wife’s N96, the update went smooth and according to the instructions on the Nokia web pages.Then I did do a backup restore (I did a fresh backup to the Nokia memory card), and during the restore a error message flashed with something like " Error in standby theme", the phone resets the language settings to Finnish after the update so the translation is not necessary correct.
Then after the restore and reboot the whole main view of the N96 is not responsive to any other thing than going through the menu icons. Normal calendar markings, wlan, etc. rows are also blank, they appear there but they doesn’t show anything.
Tried to do a *#7370# reset but even without doing the restore function the end result is the same."Traditional" and "vertical" standby themes work ok.br. M

WHERE IS NEW N96 FIRMWARE!!!

Just when is this update coming?, V12 been about for a month or so (unofficially) but I know peeps that have put it on there phone........
The word a month ago was it was immintent on NSU but still nothing??
Just whens it comming?
Does anybody on here actually work for Nokia and can give a straight answer?
(BTW.... I know Nokia dont Pre announce firmware updates)
Just a little information would be great, Make it look like Nokia gives a sh*t about its customers who have purchased a N96.

If you know that nokia doesn't pre-announce firmware updates then what answer do you expect to get?
No one knows for sure so all you can do is wait. Posting about it on here will not make it appear any quicker or get you a "straight answer" from nokia or any of it's employees.
It's not like the N96 has been starved of updates so far (2 in 2 months).
It is unknown if the v12 that leaked out is final or beta. You can be assured that when it's ready it will be released. They don't hold updates back on purpose.

N96 firmware problems

hi all, sorry if this has been asked over and over, but any help with this will be great!
I recently got my 2nd n96 (lol dont ask) and decided to try upgrade the firmware before i fill it with contacts and such,
I am currently using v 11.018, and have seen at least one more update on from that 12.050? 20?!
Problem being, NSU doesnt show an update and likewise the nokia site shows no available update for my product code.
Similarily in device manager the search for updates shows no updates.
So i am wondering is there a way to change my code, or do i sit and wait for it (doesnt feel like it will ever come to be honest!) or is there a way i can get NSU to recognise my code for a firmware upgrade?
I am in the UK on Vodaphone and my product code is 0572092

Try a format *#7370#. All data saved to phone will be erased so make sure that you have backed up all important files

N96 Firmware update

I am aware that a new firmware has been released by Nokia for the N96. However i am not able to get hold of it yet. I have a UK Vodafone phone & contract.
1.Can you advise how i can install this new firmware?
2. Will it address the various problems such as:
a) software crashes and freezing,
b) phone reboots itself for no reason,
c) GPS location is not always possible, but when i use google maps on the phone my location is found
d) Music player will cause the phone to shutdown if you use it for more than 60minutes
e) battery feels warm when several applications are running or you are doing anything continuously for more than 15 minutes
3) is it possible i can download the firmware via your website and install it myself?
4) will i need to unlock the phone to get the update now?
I have had the N95, N95 8GB and now N96 phones. Sadly they all failed to live up to the hype of matching the power of the IPhone, which i am reluctant to buy. If i cant get hold of the firmware and i still have the software glitches then i may be forced to become another Apple IPhone fan.
Like most people here we just want a good phone that can do all that you claim it can do.

hi there Smurph, read this informative article written by one of our senior users Grischnon: http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/branded-phones/ i'm afraid what Post007 was trying to say always comes out rather muddled, so i will explain it in short for you.
Nokia provides the firmware to Vodafone and other operators usually before the generic firmware (or what others call de-branded; unbranded) is released via NSU or FOTA by Nokia. it is then up to Vodafone to modify the firmware to their tastes, or if they don't wish to then they won't. if the firmware is modified by Vodafone it becomes branded firmware and is given back to Nokia who will then distribute it through NSU or FOTA for the specific product codes for that firmware (i.e. product codes will be for the Vodafone variants of the N96). this is why Vodafone tell you to go to the Nokia website to update your phone, no operators actually handle the update processes themselves. another reason they tell you this is to divert the blame to Nokia, and Vodafone not accept resposibility for the laziness/poor attitude taken by their programmers to put out updated firmware for their phones. or excuses for why they firmware is so crippling. so in essence, they're not really being truthful, yes. it's not really Nokia's fault in this case, its often Vodafone's.
i'm unsure if you can get out of your contract as Vodafone probably has all the jargon to cover themselves for their inadequacies. by preying on the customers lack of knowledge, they suck more unsuspecting customers in to make more money. this should answer your question pretty well.

N96 since V12 update - can't change snooze time

I'm having a problem with my N96 since updating to v12.043. Regardless of what I set the alarm snooze time to, the phone snoozes for 5 minutes. I've changed the snooze time in "Settings | General | Date and time" a few times, rebooted the phone, etc, but whenever I click "snooze" the phone states it is snoozing for 5 minutes. I did not see this problem before this update.
Anyone else seeing something like this?
Thanks

Okay, I've loaded the factory settings, but it hasn't fixed the problem. Attached is a lovely screenshot of the 5 minute snooze message with the 11 minute snooze setting in the background.

N96 firmware updated for vodafone1

VF have at long last released their crippled version of v11 firmware.
N96 - RM247
current 10.065
update 11.018
even though its cripled etc - this is just the software overlay - the os enhancements are needed - get it

i have to agree with psychomania, the suit is just a fancy GUI that links all of the independent launchers together, when you click on the updater icon is just finds the core updater icon in the install directory and runs it, just like clicking on the shortcut icon on your desktop and running the updater like that ! although i have just checked and it seems to be working as you have said so i will let you of for this one
N.O.B.B.Y
