N96 Firmware 11.018 - when is this being released ...

Hi
Can anyone tell me when the new firmware update for the N96 is being released in the UK?
thanks
Pedro

No one can tell you that. This is just a user to user forum so no one here will be able to tell you.
If you want a comment from nokia use the "contact us" link above.
Whilst checking for the new version make sure you check the NSU* and OTA*. V11.018 was released for my product code on Monday but only OTA, not on the NSU. For many other codes it's available on the NSU but not OTA.
So it's just a case of checking and being patient.
Note: If you have a network branded N96 you have to wait until the network approves the update for use. This can take many months.
*NSU = Nokia Software Updater
*OTA = Over-the-air (press *#0000# on the homescreen then press options > check for updates).

N96 - sucessive firmware updates?

I do not have a specific firmware for my coded N96, as stated in Nokia site. Nevertheless, NSU informs - and downloads - an firmware update (11.0.18).
What would be the implications of using this firmware, not set for my code?
Can I update with this one and then again with the software designed for my code?

I have been checking up with the product code on the website and it still tells me that there is an update available aka v11.018, but NSU keeps denying of any updates available...still baffled

Starji,
have you tried to see if there's an update OTA (over the air)? I've searched the Nokia Europe site but haven't found. Also in your country's specific site. But maybe I have overlooked something.
Another idea is to try "tools -> utilities -> device ... -> options -> check updates" in your phone.

Maps 3.0, N96, v30 Firmware, device reboots

Just upgraded to Maps R3 having had no issues with the beta versions, and having driven it hard (Pun intended).
Now, when using GPS navigation, the device reboots itself with no warning and no identifiable cause, except that I am using the GPS navigation features. usually it reboots after about 20-30 minutes of using navigation.
Any thoughts?
Device is an N96, V30 f/w, and I've checked for Maps updates recently. I'm using the UK maps, but also have France and US maps loaded as well (as I have planned trips).

i have this same problem. happens in maps, google maps, and garmin.
never had this problem on previous firmwares, and this one has added nothing to the phones feature set or usability. its just created problems. it crashed twice in the 4 months i had it before this firmware update, now its crashing 2-3 times A DAY, gps or no gps.
ive formatted the phone and memory card, reinstalled the firmware using NSU and then tested it with just google maps installed on the phone, same problem.
frankly im furious nokia can put out such a buggy firmware update that changes nothing of any use and causes crashes like this. they better sort it soon.
the bluetooth connection with my PC is also broken since this firmware. crashes explorer everytime i try ot access the phone, even using the nokia suite. again, never had this problem before.
Have you installed applications in your phone?If yes, maybe this cause the crashes.Uninstall all your apps, and do a reset.
Factory settings reset. In standby, dial *#7780# and the phone's security code (the nokia's default security code is 12345). This reset restores phone's original settings.
Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code (the Nokia's default security code is 12345). Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data.

N96 v12 firmware replacement - Any Ideas?

Does anybody have any indication or idea when nokia will release firmware to replace v12?
cheers
Nathan
Cheers

Almost 5 months ago there were rumors about v20 and that's it. It is still rumors. Only a couple of people in this forum seems lucky to be end up with the perfect N96. psychomania***** is one of the lucky ones. The minute someone says something wrong with their N96 psychomania***** comes out with his fairytale about his perfect N96. May be he is sponsored by Nokia. Who knows? It is cheaper than making a real phone.
I met many people in and out side this forum who are extremely disappointed with their N96. They all feel cheated by the Nokia. I was a Nokia phone fan for many years. I will never buy another Nokia phone again. I paid more than £500 for my N96, sim free and unbranded. I had it replaced 3 times and even with v12 it is still buggy.
Remember when the N95 came out. It took them years to come up with the firmware that suited the phone. By that time the market value of the phone dropped to very low.
Considering the current financial status of Nokia and the recent sales figures, I don't think Nokia is keen to bother with firmware upgrades for N96. They got your money and they are not in a hurry to fix your phone. They will be spending all their resources on new scam to generate more cash by launching another new model. May be N97.
If you bought a N96 then you been DONE. Don't waste your time and move on. I did.

N96-3 Firmware Uodate. When?

Any idea when new firmware will be out for the NAM N96-3? I see a lot of other models are already at 12.xxx Thanks.

The N96-3 is the North American version. In Australia, Telstra happens to use the same frequency bands as most North Aperican operators for 3G, which explains why they sell that particular model.
The N96-3 amd the N96-1 are, however, slightly different models, which explains why the firmware versions won't be the same for them.
Also, Telstra does operator branding, which will delay updates even further (if they happen at all).

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

N96 No firmware for RM-247 Product Code 0573563

Hello,
It has been more than a month since 2 11.x software updates have been released for the N96 series. I don't seem to be the only one currently stuck on the 10.0.65 firmware which has a few bugs (the handset freezes from time to time).
I've had sereral Nokia handsets previously, but never seen such a long time to get one.
Can anyone confirm that it can even take longer to get such an upgrade?
I have tried via the NSU and the phone updater on PC.
Thanks.
Solved!

The latest version of N P C S is V2.2.78
If you have V7 you are running the OLD Nokia P C SUITE NOT i say again NOT N GAUGE P C Suite which comes on the disk with the N96
There are 2 versions of P C suite now the Old type and the new N series You can run both on the same PC but I have now removed the old version as N gauge P C Suite does seem backwards compatible and will connect to the 8310 and 6510 which are the oldest phones in current use
The N 95 also had the N series PC suite but the download of the Nokia site shows V7 as the new version
this IS LIKE THE SOFTWARE V12 is NEWER THAN V30 as V30 is on N95 and V12 is on N96
N Series has its OWN updater which shows newer versions than StandARD UPDATER

N96 next firmware?

I have been very fond of Nokia over the last few years. I am however getting slightly disappointed by the frequency of firmware updates for the n96, they were necessary (v11 and v12) to fix crashes and other messed up things on the device. The latest firmware (v12) did introduce some bugs such as the # shortcut not available anymore... I see plenty of firmwares for the 5800 and E71, so what gives...
So any rumours about a new version coming out?
Also, been lurking on the n97 but got slightly put off by that news: http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/009/04/dream_is_over_n97_processor_details_revealed.htm
Thoughts anyone?

My friends tell me soon. Better get out your USB cables and start checking the site.
Make sure you go through the software upgrade rather than seeing if there is an upgrade for the phone code.Message Edited by sapporobaby on 03-Aug-200704:31 PM

N96 v30 firmware restarts/reboots randomly

Hi.
I updated OTA to the new v30 firmware for my N96 (EURO1).
Now, the phone restarts 3 or 4 times a day, usually when I'm not even touching it (i.e. it's sat on my desk at work and it'll just turn off and then back on again.
It doesn't ask for a PIN / lock code when it powers back up either which it always does when I switch the thing off and on manually.
I've tried the hard reset and reinstall options but to no avail
Anyone got any suggestions (other than throwing it in the river?!)?
Rich.

If you have tried the multi finger reset and a firmware reinstall via NSU to no avail then you have problems
The behaviour you describe is not typical of an N96 with v30 and suggests a deeper problem
If you have a memory card installed remove it and see if the behaviour persists
If it does then look at your installed apps and try removing some of these
Otherwise a Nokia Care point for a warenty repair maybe your best bet

N96 new firmware - When?

Is there a chance we will get soon a working firmware for N96?
That will solve:
- Unwanted reboots when using bluetooth connection to Carkit
- Stuttering on track change in music player
- WOWs during music playback when CPU under stress
- Faster TV player startup, as in previuos versions
Please someone at Nokia staff answer!

I am with you, we may be small in numbers but N96 users still require firmware updates.

N96 new firmware vs. pics for contacts

Aloha!
I have seen, that more people have same problem as me, but nowhere have I found solution.
After updating my N96 with FW 20.050 I've lost all thumbnails of pictures from my contacts list.
Is it that in new firmware you need to assign pictures to contacts only manualy? Is this a bug?
Will be grateful for any answers.

picaboodre wrote:
Yeah dude, i had the same problem. Lost all my thumnails after updating. The fullscreen images of my contacts still appear when calling someone, but the contact previews have dissappeared. After trying many methods, i just ended up manually re-assigning them. NO biggie for me really, the firmware works wonderfully for me otherwise
How do you assign them? I mean I also lost all my thumbnails after updating. But I can't see any "Add Thumbnail" option, when I enter "Edit" option in "Contacts". I used to with V12.043.
Could it be that my hard disk is now empty, therefore contains no "images." Does you hard disk have to contain a picture in order for "Add Thumbnail" option to appear in "Edit" in "Contacts"???
Thanks.
