N96 OTA Update

I have an original N96, never been upgraded. I haven't had any major problems with the phone (quite a few minor ones) and wanted to wait for a few Firmware updates, before I took the plunge and updated. I just did a OTA check and my phone did download an update.
I of course intend to make a full backup before running the update, but just wanted to check if anyone else has done an OTA update and whether they lost any information or data off their phone. Just to give me an idea of the time I will have to spend getting things back to the way they were....
Cheers

I have done 3 OTA updates on my N96 and they all worked seamlessly with no loss of data whatsoever.
However, you should still take all the necessary precautions and do all the backups. We don't want to tempt Murphy's Law.
OTA is the only way to go and I am sure you will agree once you've tried it.
Good Luck with the update.

When Updating N96: OTA or NSU ?

Do you guy, or do you Nokia recommend using OTA or NSU when updating my N96? I have never tried OTA before, always used NSU however I see that many people uses OTA now.
Any suggestions, or concerns regarding OTA or NSU?
Thanks

I called the Nokia Car Phone Line, they told me they recommend NSU. They say it is safe to use OTA, but NSU is the best way.
They say what OTA does is that it just "upgrades" some of the existing firmware's files. That is why OTA's faster and the dowload files are smaller. NSU however formats the phone and "freshly installs" the whole new firmware on phone from scratch.
Could you guys do me a favor and call the Nokia Care Phone Line for yourselves and see what they tell you?
NSU reinstalls a complete new copy of the OS, which is often +/- 120Mb for the top Nseries models. OTA updates act as a patch, only replacing the elements that have changed. This is because the system works over WLAN or network connections, so downloading the full OS could be costly if you don't have WLAN access.
You don't get any less of an update with OTA, you just download only the changed parts and not the whole thing.

IPad fails to connect to WiFi after OTA update to iOS 6

After the OTA update to iOS 6 my new iPad fails to connect to my WiFi network at home. My LANCOM router reports the following issue:

Interface: WLAN-1
Ereignis: Rejected Association from WLAN station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx []: ()

Grund: Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field
It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works.

Have a lead on the OTA update problems!

FIRST, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!... Whoever is responsible for FINALLY giving us our own discussion space!!!!
I am only going to post this here rather than try to update all the postings regarding the OTA update issues. I hope people will find their way to it!
I experienced rapid battery drain, severe overheating & endless boot-looping after the OTA update (among other more minor problems posted in the main Android forum). I had to factory reset and have been trying to determine what the problem might be. I have had discussion with VZW & HTC about this problem.
After leaving my phone as a stock out of the box phone with the update for a week, I started adding back my Apps. Eventually I had the same problem. I factory reset my phone and installed each App 1 at a time.
I discovered that WeatherBug Elite is causing major problems on the HTC Rezound post OTA firmware update. The HTC Rezound has 3 location services - Verizon Location Services, Standalone GPS and Google Location Services. The default is for only the GPS and Google services to be turned on. If the WeatherBug city is set to Current Location and Verizon Location Services is turned off then the device battery will rapidly drain. It will also SEVERELY OVERHEAT (130 degrees+) & eventually begin endless boot-looping. At this point the phone has to be factory reset.
If Verizon Location Services are turned on then setting the city for Current Location does not cause this problem. If you turn Verizon Location Services off after the Current Location has been set then it is OK until you change locations and it has to update. Then its back to severely overheating and eventually endless boot-looping.
This does not happen on the free version of WeatherBug.
Verizon included a new process - Verizon Location Agent in the OTA update. This must have something to do with the problem. All my other Apps that use a Current Location setting do not have this problem. I suspect that there may be other older Apps with a Current Location setting that might cause this same problem. This has been causing much stress and problems for HTC, Verizon and their customers. People have been going thru multiple phones thinking that it is a problem with the phone but it continues to happen. HTC and Verizon have acknowledged that there is some problem with the update and they are now investigating it but really didn't have a lead on what it might be since only some customers were experiencing these problems.
I spent 14 hours diagnosing and trouble-shooting the problem all last night. You have to put the phone to sleep & wait long enough for WiFi & the GPRS data to be turned off. When you wake the phone & wait for 'No Service' on the lock screen to change to 'Verizon Wireless' then it will immediately start the endless uncontrollable boot-looping. It will also happen if you restart the phone. I have done this on a factory reset phone with the OTA update installing one App at a time and WeatherBug Elite was the only one that caused the problem. I do not know if this is true for 4G-LTE as I am not in a 4G-LTE area and keep it turned off.
I wanted to pass along this information I discovered. I hope I am remembering all the steps. I had it doing it every time. I did more factory resets last night than you could believe. You need to see the "No Service" on the lock screen when you wake up your phone. This has something to do with it also. I'm so tired now that I can't see straight. I'll recheck this after I've had a nap.

Because some people have problems with the updates and some don't, I've often wondered if it had to do with specific apps that some have on their phones and others don't. I never had any problems with my Thunderbolt updates. This one for the Rezound isn't a problem either, but I essentially have the same apps on it that I did on the Bolt. I've never cared for Weatherbug ever since they originally came out on the PC and I got buried in spam. If you haven't tried it yet, you might also try "Weather, Radar, Alerts, Quakes by Elecont software. It's the best weather app I've found and has never given me any problems. I tried BeWeather and didn't like it as well.

What you're doing by eliminating them one at a time is time consuming, but the best route. There may still be something wrong with the phone itself. I've never had a problem with the boot looping. Also, mine gets up to around 120 to 125 degrees if I'm charging it while using it heavily for streaming videos/movies, but I've never hit the 130's like you have. I did have the led's flash red/green at me at about 125. I also haven't had any of the other problems you seem to be having, so I can't be much help other than to let you know that there are Rezounds that don't have all of those frustrating, headache causing problems.
I've lost track in your posts, so forgive me for asking the obvious, but have you exchanged it for a CLN replacement(s) and tried new batteries? Are you still using a standard battery, or an extended? The extended batteries don't seem to be having the overheating problems that the standard batteries are, but if you have a bad phone, it may not make much difference.
Sorry about the problems and frustration

Froyo OTA Update broke my Exchange Account!

I received the "official" OTA update last night for my Droid and installed it this morning. My corporate exchange account worked wonderfully before the installation and has been since I got the phone on it's release date. After the installation, it's broken. I've tried deleting the account and re-entering it and just get a message that advises that it's unable to connect to the server.
I've found that this has happened to many who have used the FRG01B update that VZW rolled out. Anyone hear of a solution to this problem? VZW, is there any plan to fix this bug? I need my email and calendar back!!! It's part of the reason I got this phone in the first place!

first, let me tell you about my "registering on these forums" experience. I tried over and over and it would not let me register. silly little errors like, "your registration cannot be completed, try again later."
Nonetheless, I have seen a few postings about how Froyo hoses Exchange(Corporate)e mail and I wanted to talk about why it is happening. I was finally able to register from within my myverizon account, I could not do it any other way. Also, got a page cannot be displayed error when I tried to click the support site for the community/blog.
Anyway, the solution:
It looks like Froyo is forcing the use of a certificate on your Exchange portal. It really is that simple. Your Exchange Admin just needs to put a cert on the portal and then enable SSL. That is all it takes, then on your phone, select to use SSL and Accept all Certs in the Inbound Accounts settings. For some reason, corporate mail does not work without SSL, even if you uncheck the box.
Most people won't have this problem since they probably already have a cert on the mailserver portal.

OTA update despite formerly open bootloader?

Hi there,
some time ago I had my boot loader unlocked. But I locked it again with flash tool. Currently I use a pre rooted Lollipop I installed via recovery.
What I find strange is, I get a message about a system update and I get this message via OTA!?
Is it possible you are offered OTA updates, althought once the boot loades was unlocked!?
Has SONY changed its policy regarding OTA updates once the BL was unlocked (and may be locked again)?
Thanks
Solved!

Unlocked or not you would still receive the notification - However that's not to say it will work as it would normally say something like Modified software detected and thus fail to proceed to update

OTA update for iPad1

Can you update the iPad1 to iOS5 OTA and if so, where do you start? I can't find "software update" in "Settings".

OTA Updating is a feature of iOS 5.
Getting upgraded TO iOS 5, however, you have to connect it to iTunes like all previous updates.

OTA UPDATE when ROOTED?

Greetings to all,
Before my question, I am currently running at this specification:
Model C903
Android version : 4.2.2
Firmware : xxxxx .257
Rooted? : YES
No CWM installed. Stock kernel and Rom.
I would like to ask if it's okay to update OTA while I'm rooted? the reason I didn't update before is because I might lose my game data/progress if I was just going to flash a fresh stock ROM, update and root - restore the game data using TBP.
I once experienced it that restoring app data from different android version isn't possible, got nothing to do but stopped playing that game.
Now, i guess my software version is really outdated so I am asking here for some help.I am thinking that updating OTA will best ensure my game data but i do not know if there's any side effect in updating OTA while being rooted because I cannot afford to re-flash a fresh FW atm.
Thank you in advance.

My Z1 was rooted when i get it new (T-mobile branded).
If you update OTA then your Android device will be unrooted.
If you want to have a uptodate rooted Android, then disable ota updates, and check if their is a updated rom that is rooted or that can be rooted, and use rom manager to flash that. (keep in mind to be sure you use the right rom, otherwise you brick your Android device).

OTA Update for Thunderbolt

I've read posts here and talked to techs saying that the OTA update is supposed to be today and well it's today so is it delayed? Just wondering I've checked a few times and it says no new software available. Anyone have an idea of when?

Well the page below should be updated before OTA actually starts rolling out.

yeah......and when i signed up for email alerts for the tbolt you would've thought i would have recieved an email prior to it actually being on the shelves. i doubt that page will be updated until they've already started pushing it. and even if it is, it's easier to check your phone for available updates, than to check the site every morning. i just find it easier (and less frustrating) to wait until i see everyone on the forum talking about actually recieving the update, than to count on verizon to actually clue us in....or even know themselves, when it will happen. heck, they advertised this phone in the best buy ads and ran tv commercials for it for a month before they even knew when they would release it....lol.

OTA update messes up Incredible

We have three DINCs. One of them got an OTA update on Sunday morning (1/3/11) that has messed up the phone. It has the following issues:
1) Many apps act as if they are being opened for the first time, EACH time they are opened, IF they open.
2) Majority apps won't open, FORCE CLOSE.
3) Handscent sends messages from the previous day when you power off and back on again, i.e. they seem to be stuck in the queue.
Recommendations for next steps?
Thanks in advance.

My first choice is a battery pull, but I doubt that will correct it. But all three of your devices are showing the same thing. So I suspect a corrupt OTA download.
I would say to next do a master reset, but if you have time for just one phone, delete the apps and reinstall and see if that clears up the issue.
