N96 ON OPTUS! FIRMWARE VERSION 11.101 UPDATE AVAIL...

Ye Gods!!!
I tried updating this morning and was still told by NSU that 10.065 was still the current version. I phoned Optus to find out how the ticket I lodged three weeks ago about 'approving the release' was going, only to be told there was no resolution and that the ball was in Nokia's court.
I rang Nokia again to see if there was ANY way this could be done, and lo and behold, as we went through the same process again, it said version 11.101 was available for download!!
HOO-BLOODY-RAY!!!
The download is 116MB, and is downloading as I write.
Time will tell if this solves my problems...
Stay tuned!

Oh dear...
Here's my experience with updating the N96 to Firmware 11.101
So, the phone was plugged in and fully charged as prescribed. The update file downloaded and then proceeded to install. It estimated 15 minutes to go.
With 2 minutes to go, the phone appeared to reboot, and displayed a plain, white screen, with:-
11.101
Test Mode
Nokia
displayed in upside-down landscape on the screen. It stayed like this, and about every ten minutes, would disconnect from the PC (hearing the USB disconnect sound), the screen would go white, and reboot again to show the same Test Mode display.
I called Nokia Tech Support. They had never seen this issue before. They advised I disconnect and reboot the phone, which I did, but had to remove the battery in order to get it out of Test Mode. The NSU program on the PC locked up and I had to delete the app from Windows Task Manager.
The phone rebooted, apparently trouble-free. The menu and the screen rotate seem ever-so-slightly more responsive, however, there was little improvement on the voice dialling. In fact, trying to dial in this way caused the phone to crash and reboot. I will say, this was a 'soft' reboot, not a complete and utter bomb like before. Is this an improvement? I don't know!
Trying to fast-forward through a video by holding the 'Next track' button down does not work. It continues to show the last frame displayed, while the sound and time do indeed fast forward and play correctly.
I can't comment on the battery life as yet, but the upgrade process DID take a lot out of it, so be sure to be fully charged before attempting to upgrade (or have your power charger connected).
That's all for now...

  • Poll **IMPORTANT!** From wich Firmware version did you update your Zen XTRA. Was it succesf

    It's only a theory, but I guess the horror stories I've been reading about dead players after trying to update to the latest firmware has to do with the version you're updating from. Maybe I'm wrong, but we could make a statistic and try to find out if the success rate increases with any specific version.
    Maybe Cat could help and publish a Poll with multiple selection choices in stead of this thread? I would apreciate it very much!

    The MTP Protocol is the way that the PlaysForSure firmware communicates with your computer. Windows Media Player 0 is a big part of PlaysForSure/MTP. If you intend to use the PlaysForSure firmware then those 3 hotfixes should be applied, as they do improve Windows Media Player 0, but all other programs which will recognize your PlaysForSure player, such as Media Source, can perform better. If you are having problems transfering music with Media Source, then always try Windows Media Player 0 because if it doesn't work with WMP0, chances are it wont work with any other program. The other stuff listed, such as wdfmgr.exe and the registry changes are to help with the player being detected properly on your computer.
    Editing the registry can cause problems with your computer, however if you only edit that directory then you should be fine. In any case backing up your registry is recommended. For more on Registry Editing read this:

    But do download those 3 hotfixes, and check for wdfmgr.exe, and also do the registry changes. If none of those are working then you might need to send your player in to Creative...

  • N85 firmware version 30.101 problem when watching ...

    After i update my n85 version from 30.019 to 30.101, i face a problem when trying to watch youtube without using the youtube application. When i use wifi and go to www.youtube.com, find video and klick on a video to start it, then Realplayer starts and says "loading" and then it failed to load the video. Before i update to 30.101, it will play the video by flash player like normal desktop screen without using real player. The problem now is it will stop on real player without play the video. The only way i can watch youtube right now is using youtube application. But i dont prefer using youtube application because the browser is diff frm the page u see frm the desktop screen.

    I'm also having issues when trying to view a video and real player comes up and says loading but it never does. Whether youtube, a live stream, or video on demand, this issue has been happening now consistently where the video will not play on a URL within the web browser. Please help Nokia! Where is your support? 

  • HT201210 My ipod is showing 4.2.1 as the latest version. No update available.

    How do I push through an update to 5 or 6?
    Thanks in advance!

    If your iPod is a 2nd generation Touch, then iOS 4.2.1 is as far as it can go. If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, then it's a 2nd gen model.

  • Nokia N96 New Firmware Version 30.033 and Camera F...

    I updated my Nokia N96 to the new firmware version 30.033 after which my phone camera is not working. When I press on the camera button it gives the message (Camera Feature not Supported). I played many tricks with it but of no use. I reset my phone to the original factory setting through (*#7370#) and Multi-finger process but of no help. I even reinstalled the updated version but the problem still persists. My camera worked fine before the update but now it gives the said message and the phone hanges up on pressing the camera button. I request nokia developers to help fix this problem and check their updates for buge before uploading them to the server to save users from problems & worries. If you found any solution for the problem then please let me know it on my E-Mail ID:  I will be grateful for your response.

    You told everything about the firmware upgrades and the non-functional camera features.
    I did everything [firmware re-installation, hard-reset etc. etc.] to get my camera features back. This includes visiting the authorized Nokia service centre and paying them bucks.
    No luck buddy. I may have an ardent brand loyalty to Nokia but Nokia is letting me down every way.
    Any luck buddy? 
    you should not have had to pay a nokia care point for what ammounts to a warenty repair,
    The camera issue with the N96 upgrade is an uncommon but known bug,
    If a hard reset, or a firmware reinstall doesn't fix it then take the phone to a nokia care point and have them fix it for free under the warenty

  • How do you upload firmware to Airport extreme with the following message: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. I'm using airport utility 6.0

    The airport extreme at my parent's house has not had its firmware update in some time and it keeps dropping the internet connection and needing to be reset.
    I went to update firmware and opened up airport utilities (I'm running airport 6.0 on Mountain Lion, 10.7.4).  Everytime I open the airport utility I get the following message: "
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I've followed the link and tried to update firmwares but none are available and the print says that airport utility will look to see if firmware are available and load them as necessary when prompted by user.
    One link said the only way to solve this problem is open up Airport Utility 5.6. I tried to do this, but 5.6 is not supported on Mountain Lion and couldn't be opened up.
    I'm getting the exact same message on my other computer, a Mac Air.
    So basically, can't download new firmware and am stuck with a ****** airport extreme that needs to keep being reset, a factory reset, in order to use the internet, but then continues to give me the same message.
    Thanks!

    See this article for instructions on how to install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion on Mountain Lion:

  • Will firmware version 4.1.7 automatically update to 4.1.9?

    I recently upgraded to OS 10.3 from OS 10.0 on my Imac 700MHz G3. The installation documentation said that I would be prompted to upgrade the firmware if I needed to. I was not prompted so I went ahead and did the OS 10.3 installation. The firmware remained version 4.1.7f4 after the install.
    Not too long ago I went through the same procedure on my Imac 400MHz DV. The only difference is that I started the upgraded process from OS 9.I, then to 9.2.2 using the updates (ending at the latest version of 9), then to 10.0, and then to 10.3. And finally updating with 10.3.9 combo to OS 10.3.9. During that whole process I never new about firmware and never checked to see what version I had before starting this process. After all of the above installations were finished I ended up with firmware version 4.1.9f1.
    My concern is with the 700MHz G3 IMac. I'd like to update to 10.3.9 using the combo update but I'm concerned about the firmware. Will firmware 4.1.7f4 be updated automatically to 4.1.9f1 after the combo OS 10.3.9 is installed? Or should I erase the disk again and start over by first installing firmware update 4.1.9? Actually if that were the case I wouldn't be able to update my firmware since I don't have the correct bootable version of OS 9 on disk that is required for that computer. However my previous experience with the installations on the 400MHz DV suggests to me that that the firmware will automatically be updated. But I would like confirmation from the experts. I'd hate to spend all that time downloading and installing all of the latest updates (Combo 10.3.9, etc.) only to find that the firmware version is incorrect.
    Thanks!
    Al

    Al,
    I don't understand your anger. In your first message
    you posted that you installed OS 9 and updated it to
    9.2.2. So why don't you do that again on the 700 MHz
    iMac?
    I find it very amusing that somehow you see anger in my post. That is realy very funny! The reason I didn't just simply install OS 9 on the 700MHz Imac is stated in my original post. I would need a special (the original disk that came with this computer) bootable OS 9.1 disk to install 9.1 on this particular computer. However if there are retail 9.2 or greater disks available then that would work to. I own a retail version of 9.1 that I used for the 400MHz Imac. That wont work on the 700MHz Imac. So now I have to buy a another OS 9 disk. Thanks for your input. Al

  • How to downgrade my firmware version after a "succesful" update?

    Dear Macusers,
    Is there any way to downgrade my firmware version from 1.5.1 to a lower version? Even if my firmware update has been applied succesfully? I cannot use just the firmware restore CD because that is for an interupted or failed update.
    Greetings,
    Tim

    Hello,
    Many thanks for your reply. Yesterday I posted a topic about this problem with some more details. I hope this may help.
    +"Since today my trackpad and keyboard doesn't response anymore. This problem started after I exit from sleep mode. Then I get a security form where I can enter my password, but I couldn't. So I restarted my macbook pro for about 5 times, removed my adapter and battery, but it doesn't work.+
    +After that I went to iFactory and they said it is apparently because of my latest firmware update 1.5.1. But why does this happen a week after I installed this update? Anyway, he suggested me to downgrade my firmware version with a firmware restore CD. Well it sounded as an straightforward and easy solution until I read that the restoration CD doesn't work when the firmware update already has been applied correctly.+
    +I have read some other topics about keyboard issues and some points are relevant for me:+
    +I'm be able to use an external USB mouse and keyboard.+
    +At system profile by USB, only my iSight, Bleutooth USB host controller and external USB devices are displayed.+
    +The keyboard background light works properly+
    +This problem happens all of a sudden without intervals or strange behavior.+
    +Using Leopard (10.5.2) and Windows XP via bootcamp+
    +I hope I can solve this problem really quick because I need my Macbook Pro badly for my study. Thanks in advance for studying my problem.+

  • Can't update to the latest (v52) firmware version ...

    Other people can update their software but I cannot, although we have the same Nokia device model. What's wrong?
    Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates. 
    Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available. 
    Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any delay. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.
    Is there any other way that I apply the new v52 update for my 5800 XM? Even if it voids warranty? Because I really hate my browser and music crashing, battery eating - from full to empty in ~1.5hour, meanwhile the phone is really hot and it is in stand-by - no programs running.
    Info:
    I am from Slovenia, my phone model is RM-356, current version V51.0.006 - installed on 19.11.2010. Language Slovene, 7. Serial - under the battery 0579282. Tryed updating via Wi-Fi on the phone, via PC - with "Nokia Software Updater", both said there is no new firmware available, while there is obviously.
    Any help appreciated!!

    I understand that this is a real bummer and painfull.
    There is unfortunately nothin we can do to help you to get the most recent update if it ain't made available for your device.
    From the power consumption, there could be an issue related to hardware which only a care point can fix.
    However, you could back up what you need and perform a soft reset to wipe the phone memory, then install your apps one by one to check if there is an app or more causing this. You can also try to reinstall the fw with Ovi suite. Just connect and check if it's possible to do so, then back up your content and proceed.
    I cannot guarantee that this will fix it, but it might be worth a try if youre without warranty.
    Have you checked if there are a warranty checker tool available on your local Nokia site?
    The Nokia browsers has always been a bit sensitive, so I suggest you download opera mobile or opera mini and install it on your phone memory (C: ) Should be much more stable.

  • After WRT310N Firmware Version 2 update - Unidentified Network

    Hi
    I've owned the WRT310N for over 2 years now. I've been happy with it's features thus far. I updated the firmware previously to 1.0.9.
    Recently, I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 from Vista. It's great and connects to my other hardwired network device (i.e. printer) and internet without any issues. I chanced upon a review that said the WRT310N Firmware Version 2 (WRT310Nv2_0_00_012.bin) was out and eagerly upgraded it in the router. Herein came the problem after the automatic reboot. My internet connection was unidentified with gibberish for an IP address. Strangely, my printer still connects and prints. But I can no longer access the set up page typically found in 192.168.1.1. There are no issues with my modem.
    I tried many things with the assistance of the Linksys hotline in the Philippines (ref case:100408-000629). Simple 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 min resets, press and hold, unplug power, replug in power - Result = 0.
    I tried to force ipconfig to dump the ip address, it could not release it or renew it. I tried to lower the duplex speed to 10MBPS, doesn't work. I thought the problem was the gibberish was on IPv6, by deselecting it, IPv4 wasn't able to correct itself.
    Long story short, it was a fatal mistake to install Firmware Version 2 as after the reboot, I couldn't access the internet or the set up page that was necessary to reset the factory defaults. Without entering the router set up page, I can't help myself.
    The kind Linksys lady told me I'm out of warranty and there's pretty much nothing I can do except by the brand new WRT610n with XXXXX features. I don't think I would as I'm very concerned about upgrading future firmwares in the light of this experience. So I'm putting this case up for your review. Hopefully, I'm the only "unique" case. =(
    E

    Push and hold untill lights go off usually I hold for 30 seconds. You should also turn off and unplug your modem while you do this. After doing that you should reboot your computer and then see if you can access the router, if you can but still dont have internet then you might have to release/renew the DHCP untill you get an IP. Can find that on the status tab.
