N96 Software v30.033 Battery and Calendar Problems

Earlier this month I upgraded the software on my Nokia N96 to v30.033. Prior to this my battery life was sufficient to get me through an entire day.
Since I upgraded, the battery life has dropped, and now by 5pm I'm down to 4 bars. I have not increased how much I use the phone. I have also checked that all the options for wi-fi, bluetooth and other things that use a lot of power are as they were prior to the update (in case any of them had been reset). I have even gone as far as to replace the battery, thinking that it might just be my original battery wearing out, but none of these have solved the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this and how did you solve it?
The second problem is to do with the calendar. Prior to the update it would display the next 5-6 entires in my calendar, no matter how far in the future they were. Now it will only display 2, and only if they are happening either today or tomorrow. Does anyone know how to change it back to the way it was?
Finally, how do you turn off the bloody annoying "swoosh" noise the phone makes now when you slide it open?

I haven't notices a big change in power consumption, but I am a heavy user and I always have the phoen on charge whrn I'm in the car, so maybe that's why.
The (I agree with you) annoying noise can be shut off as follows:
Menu>Tools>Settings>General>Personalisation>Themes>Audio themes>Phone handling events and then change both opening slide and closing slide to 'silent'.

N96 Firmware 30.033 Wlan

Just "upgraded" N96 to 30.033 firmware over the air and the phone keeps on scanning for wlan's all the time - even though I have turned it off in every location it still keeps on searching for wlans. It was not on before I updated the firmware... Any assistance would be appreciated?
Solved!

i think there is an option in the settings that allows Wlan to scan automatically in a period of time like (5 minutes or so)
you can change it to OFF or Manually

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 V30.033 Power Saver Problems

Hi there,
I've just recently updated my N96 to V30.033 and now the power saver does not seem to work properly.
I have an .swf animation set in the Power Saver options (power save timeout set to 30 secs). After 30 secs when it tries to go into power save, the animation comes up briefly, and then comes out of power save (back to the standby screen. or whatever screen you had open last).
It will just keep doing this in a loop.
It used to work on the last firmware, any ideas?
The only way to stop this is not to use an animation.
Thanks.

Binx:This is definitly one of the problems comin directly from the firmware, because it used to work for me before as well and now all of a sudden with this **bleep** firmware, we are back to triangle of worst firmwares (V10, V11, V30)............

N96 issues upgrading to v30.033

Hi there,
I have just tried to upgrade the firmware in my Nokia N96-1 (RM-247) from 12.x to 30.033 using NSU on the latest version of PC Suite on a Vista SP2 machine. After NSU completed - apparently successfully - the phone started up and asked for my PIN as per usual, however it continued to load active standby visibly in the background of the PIN entry prompt. I entered it, at which point the phone just started going berserk. There are a couple of applications I have set to load on startup (about three), but as these tried to load, active standby would take over and redisplay. Then the application would try to take back the screen focus, then active standby (rinse and repeat). This happened slowly at first, but eventually it was almost constantly flickering active standby on and off without any button being pressed or stuck down. The phone has become completely unusable - I can't load the menu, make phone calls, or anything. I tried to force exit all applications, but this has made no difference. I tried power cycling the phone (power off only the first time, then I tried removing the battery and SIM card for about 10 seconds), reinstalling the firmware.. all to no avail.
I am now trying to reload my last backup, in the hope it restores version 12.x.
Update: that didn't work either, and I am still having the same problem.
I tried formatting it by TRYING to press call, *, and 3 all at once, then pressing the power button on the phone for one second - but that kind of key combination is almost impossible with this handset design without having a third hand.
This is not the first time this phone has done this sort of thing on a firmware upgrade, and I am dreading taking it back to get it serviced - which will be for the FOURTH TIME in 8 months. This handset has been nothing but trouble from day one, and I am extremely disappointed and frustrated at Nokia's woeful and apparent lack of product testing, firmware testing, and user focus group testing on this product - all of which must have been forgone at Nokia HQ for drinking coffee and playing Wii.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I might have the solution regarding the issues shehaal facing. In fact, my n96 was having the same flickering trouble. O.K stright to the point, you got to key in *#7370# (reset) even though it is difficult to key in keep pressing the number(*#7370#) until the the phone switch to password protected section. Key in 12345 the phone will reset (important: you got to key in as fast as possible before the screen starts to flicker). For my case i required to reset twice, the first time nothing happened except the phone has deleted most of the content in the memory. Nevertheless it is recommended to save all important information before you reset. If you've not done that just do it (don't worry even the phone is flickering you can still save your important information).
The second attempt managed to restore the phone (remember the moment the screen shows "select the country you in" it means your phone are now o.k . The best part is your phone has been upgraded to v30.033 enjoy !!!!

How often does your phone re-boot itself,
Regular reboots are not endemic on an n96 running v30
Are you using a memory card, if so try removing and seeing if that improves things
How much free space do you have on the phone memory, (c too little could cause issues, try moving messages, images etc to the mass memory and see if performance improves

N96 v30.033 problem

My n96 v30.033 have some problems witch is: when recive sms my phone restarted i formated with *#7370# and problem exists again i reinstalled software and again problem is in the phone
i thing the n96 v31.xxx fix this problem and set to n96 any screensawer like n86

Hard format procedure is here. For that, backup your mobile's contacts, messages, notes, calender and bookmarks via Nokia PC Suite backup utility. Don't backup anything else like settings or user files etc. Now backup your images, videos and music files using Windows Explorer. Now format your memory card and switch off your mobile. Now press and hold this 3 key "green call key, * and 3" together and switch on your mobile. Press and hold down that 3 button till country insertion dialogue appear. Now restore all your backup using PC Suite and explorer. This will solve your problem. If problem still causing then go to nearest Nokia Service Center and give them your mobile for repairing.

Nokia N96 Firmware Update issues!!!!

Hello,
On the website, it's showing an update named PR1.1 (or 11.018 / 11.101) however, after I updated my phone (via PC Suite) it's now showing: Software Version: 30.033.098.1.
More than this, now I have an issue. When I try to launch LIVE TV, it doesn't open no matter what. It's trying to open and then closes itself. Before, with the older firmware 20.xxxxx it at least allowed me to search for TV or something but now it's not working at all.
Can someone please explain why does the new firmware update is showing 30.033.098.1 and not the PR1.1 or 11.011/.101 and why I'm unable to go through the LIVE TV now?
Many thanks for your advices/suggestions.
Best Regards,
Mr A

You could try talking to him about his problem rather than just telling him to reset his phone, and if you are just going to cnp the same response in every thread you reply to then at least format it so it is readable
In this casre I agree a Hard reset is probably called for as his issue is not standard for an n96 running v30
v20 & 30 are typicaly very stable with very little difference to the user between them, the one change the user will notice is that the mobile tv ap appears to have been messed with, tho being as most users can't recieve anyway Its not something that is looked at often
If a hard reset doesn't fix your problem then come back and tell us
and remeber BACK UP FIRST

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

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

N96 runs very unstable: Firmware 30.033

Hi everybody I recently could change to a N96. After I became it, Idid a firmware upgrade to V. 30.033. The Problem is, that the N96 runs very unstable since that.. For example: recently i've listened radio, then opened the browser, and wanted tochange the net-settings to umts- BANG-- Reset.. A lot of resets are ocurring during navigation with nokia maps and also google maps.. But: these resets can happen anytime, without a single sign before. I'm really helpless, (and im not a newbie) Heard that it could have to do with too full memory cards, but it can happen also without a card inside the phone.. I already did multiple soft resets and hard resets- without any success. Is there anybody there who knows what that could be- i've read about other users with the same problems since they've upgraded to V 30.033. Never before had a phone who did a reset, so this is really new for me and absolutely annoying, and especially in this price segment actually innacceptable!!! Thankyou for your suggestions & help

i think there is an option in the settings that allows Wlan to scan automatically in a period of time like (5 minutes or so)
you can change it to OFF or Manually

N96 V30.033 Status Light flash

Hi there, I wonder if someone could help me, since the V30 upgrade of the firmware to the N96, the "breathing light" has been renamed to "status light" but it doesn't "double flash" when there is a new notification like a text message or missed call. Is there any way of reinabling this? also I've noticed that the options seem to be inverted. If i click on the status option to toggle on and off that's fine, but if it's set to off, and I choose menu then change, in bring a little table up where you can choose on or off, but when it's set to on, the radio button is in the off selection and vista versa, could this be another bug?
hope someone can help!
dave

hmm it could be possilbe that it is in two parts now and you could also have the notification light option and events that you want your phone to notify you of. i am not sure tho as i do not have this particular phone
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
