N97 Firmware V20 THINK TWICE BEFORE UPDATE

I just upgraded successfully on my N97-3 NAM. After the update my N97 rebooted and it showed Nokia logo and 10 seconds later it came to the startup ringtone (connecting 2 people logo). It was slow but it still managed to the Home screen.
Later, because the phone was lagging a bit I decided to reboot (press the key on top and switch off).
HOWEVER WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT ON, IT HANG AT THE NOKA LOGO (BLUE NOKIA TEXT) AND NEVER WENT TO THE STARTUP RING TONE (CONNECTING TO HANDS), MAKING MY PHONE TOTALLY UNSUABLE.
I tried to remove the battery and tried again but still no go. Now I need to use my backup phone. There's no way to turn my phone on again.
I'm not sure I'm the only person who gets this. So everyone please think carefully before upgrading your phone.
Just some heads up.

My update also went smooth and the phone felt a little bit quicker afterwards. With a well kept C drive I had 40mb free with nothing installed to it (a gain of around 2 to 5mb).
Changed themes and the phone froze completely forcing me to pull the battery. After that it would not boot up at all so I had to do the hard reset.
After that (and restoring my data) the phone was even quicker with nearly 60mb free on the C drive. I'm kind of glad I had to reset as it was worth it for the extra speed!

What did you use to do your backup? The first time I ran a backup on my initial N97 (that one went wrong so it got returned) none of my applications got restored despite being told there were put back on. Did you do the 7370 reset or the 'big one' and did everything restore OK for you?

Big problem with iTunes Match and subscription renewal -- think twice before you sign up!!

A little over a year ago I signed up for iTunes Match thinking it would be an excellent way to free up some space on my drive and save me some time by providing access to all of my music on my phone/ other devices. About 100gbs was uploaded without incident. I deleted that music from my drive thinking that iTunes match is like any other cloud based service. In August my subscription came up for renewal. In August I had also switched debit cards. The auto-renew failed. I received notification of such and then went to update my new card information with the account. The card information updated successfully, but when i then went to update my iTunes Match I would receive the error message #5002. So I called customer support. They politely agreed to rectify the situation and that I was not the only customer to face this situation, but said it would require contacting engineering to get a hard fix since in order for an account to renew a subscription they have to purge the library. This is fine because all of your iTunes account purchases are already backed-up. But it is not okay, if you have any other 3rd party music in your library. All of the 3rd party music I had uploaded from old CDs, converted LPs, or purchased through other online vendors would have to be deleted in order to renew my subscription. Engineering replied that there was no work around. This has left me at a weird impasse with customer support with no resolution. The music is just sitting there. I'm gladly willing to pay to renew my subscription, but because of bad engineering, deceptive advertising, and what I'm guessing is a greedy internal policy regarding 3rd party media, I stand to lose the couple thousand bucks just by being a loyal Apple consumer and choosing to use their product over alternatives in the market like Google Play. The morale of the story is this: ITUNES MATCH IS NOT A REAL CLOUD BASED SERVICE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ADVERTISED AS SUCH. Think twice before you sign up!

Hello Michael, I've been reading many of your splendid replies so perhaps you can help me as I can't seem to find the exact solution to what should be a simple problem. I got a new iPod Touch recently and after spending almost 3 hours on the phone with Apple today we discovered my account was so old it hadn't synched up correctly with Apple's new data requirement so an Apple manager was connected to me and eventually we solved several issues which I won't bother going into here. However, at some point in all this I saw Match show up and music from the iCloud was seemingly downloaded onto my new iPod. I was surprised to see this as I thought I'd done away with Match long ago, but with the new version of iTunes which eliminated over 300 playlists and all of my music from iTunes when it updated to the newest version last week, I suppose anything is possible.
What I want to do now is simply to be able to put my own music back onto my new iPod and ignore everything related to Match hoping it goes away and never returns. So I followed the online instructions to turn off Match, and now iTunes and my iPod say I need to subscribe to iTunes Match...but I still cannot download anything onto my new iPod and the 15,000 plus songs that appeared to be downloaded earlier when on the phone with an Apple manager are also no longer available. BTW, my Match subscription should be paid for, but I can't even figure out how to make sure it never gets updated again as this is nasty business scrubbing all 3rd party music off our own devices. Yuk. But can you help me please? Thus far, this experience with this new iPod Touch and the new iTunes 12.1 is the worst experience I have ever had with Apple and I own many Apple products.

I have the jetpack wifi and someone told me I need to change the name to FBI Surveillance Van so others would think twice before using it how do i do it?

I have the jetpack wifi and someone told me I need to change the name of it to "FBI Surveillance Van so that people would not try to tap onto it. How do I accomplish this?

Changing the SSID is a good idea, but I do not suggest changing it to something so troll enticing as "FBI Surveillance Van". A SSID like that is only going to draw attention to you and your network and challenge malicious users to target you. I advise not putting a target on your back and stick to a custom but not well known SSID.
I normally suggest broadcasting an SSID of something a little less confrontational. Something like combining your favorite color with your favorite sports team.
All jetpacks are a little different but they should all have a way to sign in and complete configuration changes. If you connect to your Jetpack and look up the IP Address of your Default Gateway you will know the IP of the Jetpack. Plug in the IP Address of the Jetpack into a web browser and sign in with the admin password. Review the security options that are available until you find a SSID or broadcast name or network name field.
While you are at it you should also make sure you have a custom WiFi password configured with WPA2 security. Custom WiFI passwords are going to be much more helpful than a creative SSID at keeping malicious users off your network. Rule of thumb for WiFi passwords is the longer the better.
A good tool to evaluate your WiFi password is here (shoot for at least a few years):

N97 Firmware Upgrades after V20

Are there any chances of a firmware upgrade for N97 after V20 which will further increase the speed. The kinetic scrolling is still not very smooth and sometimes the screen freezes for a second or two. Anyone facing a similar problem ?

Nokia usually continue to update/improve software with anew model at least for 2 or 3 years, don't know what the next one holds, but I believe it is imminant, V2.1 due this month I believe. My phone's worked pretty well since V2.0.
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Can't install firmware v20 on n97 help please?

hello,
i've been trying to update my phone for the past 10 hours and it's not worked in either NSU or OVI suite.
In OVI suite it gives me an internal error, phone not detected and NSU tells me to plug my phone directly to the pc even though it is. Can someone please help me with this?
thanks

Not to sound rude, but plugging it into a different USB does nothing.
Re-installing everything does nothing.
FIX OVI so i can update my N97!
FIX NSU so I can update my N97!
Make a phone that doesn't need to be corrected 4 times Nokia.
Your USB Hub Errors/Internal Errors are all indications you have no idea what you are doing.
Don't make customers use these products when they don't work for everybody.
There are literally thousands of pages of questions, complaints and pleas for help from all around the world.
You people have not answered them, or more importantly, fixed the problems.
Why even offer these discussions?
Nothing becomes of them obviously.
Even though people have paid good money, and usually alot of money, to have one of your products, the least you can do is offer people help.
Oh, the Nokia Care Centre's you say?
I rang one of them, telling them I cannot update my N97 to V20 using OVI or NSU.
They HAD NO IDEA what I was talking about.
They suggested I re-install the programs.
Yeah, did that. Did nothing.
It is your programs that are the problems.
We all need help.
Have you helped us?
No.
You should all sit down and read these discussions and actually help you customers.
Rectify these issues with NSU/OVI and the N97 immediately.
You charged us a thousand dollars for this piece of machinery, the least you could do is support it
properly with working assistance.
I have been a loyal Nokia customer for the last 10 years.
I bought my first Nokia phone in 1998.
Now, because of your N97 and your inability to help your customers,
I will NEVER EVER BUY A NOKIA PRODUCT.
You disappoint me.

N97 Firmware update v22.2.110

I can see the v22.2.110 for my N97 (RM-507), through the Software Updater. But am not able to update it through OTA or through the NSU app. Anyone facing a similar issue ??
Also i cannot see the v22.0.110 to update my phone.

Why it was necessary to open a new topic for this problem? The V22 issues topic is already exists. Anyway I suspect that the V22 is not released for your product code yet. It will be released soon.

My 13" early 2011 macbook pro is having trouble connecting back to internet after going to sleep. before updating to EFI 2.7 it was perfect now after updating its gone bad.

Same issue here too. I will try reinstalling the firmware update. This has happend to me twice. The only way to correct the issue was to reboot.
Thanks!

A few things that might help before updating to 4.0 (if you haven't yet):

I'm in the IT dept of the company I work for and it's my job to troubleshoot, test, implement etc etc everything and anything regarding iphones and other related software. So, after MUCH trial and error, here are some of the key points I have found regarding the upgrade that I hope will also help other people as they have myself and others whom I work with. So here are some snippets of the mass email I sent out to our other associates who have yet to upgrade their OSs:
In order to make sure that you're upgrade goes as smooth as possible: please take into consideration the following recommendations:
1. It is not necessary to do the software upgrade on the same machine that you normally use to sync your phone.
I sync my phone at home on a PC, but upgraded the software at work on a Mac. I lost no data/music/photos/contacts/applications and it was fast and easy. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you do your firmware upgrading on a Mac. I also did it at home on the pc and it was a nightmare. I had to uninstall and reinstall every scrap of Apple software I ever had on there and all kinds of other permissions/backup problems ensued.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT upgrade your iphone's OS on a PC.
If you do not have a Mac, chances are you know somebody who does who will let your borrow their iTunes for an hour.
2. Obviously, you will need the most recent version of iTunes (9.2) and OSX10.5 or later on your computer (OPTIMALLY, you will have 10.6.4). Again, do this on a Mac. If it is not, please download and install 10.6.4/9.2 (DO NOT have your phone plugged into the machine while you do this). Wait for everything to upgrade, then restart your computer.
3. Always, always, always make sure you have a reliable backup of your phone's contents SOMEWHERE (it doesn't necessarily need to be on the computer you use to sync it, and to be honest I would recommend NOT using that same machine for the firmware upgrade). In the off-chance that your upgrade fails, you will lose all of your data if you do not have a backup.
4. Once all of your machine's software has been updated, go ahead and open iTunes THEN plug your phone into your machine. Once it finds your phone, it will likely automatically prompt you to upgrade your phone's firmware and carrier settings. Accept this.
If it does not, please choose the "check for update" button on the summary screen of your selected iphone in itunes.
Downloading and installing should take roughly 20-45 minutes (depending on your speed/connection). Itunes will create a backup of your current data/settings before installing this which shouldn't take more than 15 minutes and will overwrite your previous one.
You should not encounter a need to sync ANYTHING at this point, so please please please do not sync before updating. Keep it plugged in and do not answer any incoming calls, texts or emails while this is occurring. In fact do NOT use your phone at all, in any way while the update is being downloaded or applied.
5. If all goes well, your phone will restart itself after the installation. This will take a few minutes. It will disappear from your itunes during this time, but fret not, it will return. When it does, and you are told by itunes that the upgrade is complete, it is now safe to disconnect your phone and try out all the new features. (A reboot is HIGHLY recommended)
All of the listed features of the new iOS4 will be fully operational on all 3GS phones. 3G phones will not be able to multitask, among a few other things but nothing about its basic functionality will be removed. This update is not available for 2g phones at all. Once updated, it cannot be retrofitted with the old firmware without hacking and if you hack your phone, I will not support it and neither will Apple. Also, the FaceTime video chatting function is only supported on the iPhone 4.
For a comprehensive list of all of the cool new things you can now do with your upgraded phone, I recommend you READ the following links:
Really basic:

Hope this helps some folks and sheds some light on some of the things that can go wrong with your update and how you can avoid them!

iOS 4: Exchange Mail, Contacts, or Calendars may not sync after update
Last Modified: 28 June, 2010
Article: TS3398
Symptoms
Immediately after updating to iOS 4, some users may notice that Exchange ActiveSync Mail, Contacts, or Calendars do not sync, or sync very slowly. In addition, some Exchange Server administrators may notice their servers running slowly.
Products Affected
iPod touch, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS
Resolution
To work around this issue, users should install a configuration profile from Apple that increases the amount of time the iOS 4 device will wait for the Exchange Server to respond to its sync requests. For best results, the profile should be installed on as many iOS 4 devices at your company as possible.
To install the profile:
Use Safari on your iOS 4 device to download the configuration profile. It may be easiest to read this article with your iPhone or iPod touch and tap the download link there, but you may also email the attachment to another email account on your iOS 4 device, and tap the attachment to open it.
Tap Install to install the profile, and enter your passcode if prompted.
A warning message will appear because the profile is not signed. Tap Install Now.
Tap Done to complete the installation, then power off your device and power it back on.
Wait for your Exchange data to finish syncing.
After installation, the profile will be listed under Settings > General > Profile.

My iPod Touch 2g is unresponsive to the touch completely. I have restored it twice and updated it, the water sensor shows it has not been wet. Not jail-broken.How do i fix this and will Apple fix it? Thanks

I have restored it twice and updated it, the water sensor shows it has not been wet. Not jail-broken and exterior buttons all work. It seems to have problems connecting and being found by a computer (Windows). How do i fix this and will Apple fix it? Thanks

lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

Things I would like to know before updating to KitKat

Hi everyone,
Am new to Sony and am delaying doing the update via PCC or SUS until the bugs I have read about are sorted. Meanwhile i have a couple of questions which I cannot find answers to.
How do I get rid of the notification I have on my phone telling me 14.3.A.0.681 is waiting? selecting 'clear' does not work.
I read about the upcoming fixes due shortly but does that mean I will need to go ahead and install the 'buggy' 14.3.A.0.681 beforehand OR will a complete new KitKat be available to replace Jellybean?
Have noted alexdon's advice of things to be aware of before updating but should the phone be on or off?
Presumably MTP needs to be activated and USB debugging on?
Generally is it wise to do a factory reset after FW update?
Sorry to ask so many questions but updating Samsung Galaxy via Kies was never straightforward so want to be prepared this time and hopefully any responses will help others too. Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You cannot get rid of the notification until you update,if you clear data for update centre it will come back.
It seems that you can wait for the next update without installing this one,but I am not sure if it will work fine when you update.
The phone must be turned on for PC companion(I updated to kitkat about 4 days ago and it needed the phone on).Sony update service needs the phone turned off because it first checks for the firmware version.
You need to have MTP enabled.
About the factory reset,it is not necessarily.I have not done factory resets and I do not encounter big problems with the KK(only the loudpeaker-earspeaker thing).Even before,on my Xperia P,I have not reseted to factory settings after each update.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

Hi Urs
I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
I hope this info is a little help for you!!
Let me know if this works for you, ok?
Best regards,
Wolfgang

How to count the number of Rows to be Updated before Update takes place..

Hi all,
I have a requirement, where i have to count the number of rows to be updated before updating it. SQL%ROWCOUNT gives the no. of rows updated ( after update takes place). How do i get to know the count of no. of rows to be updated/inserted/ deleted. I was looking for a simple solution, as above SQL%Rowcount. But i couldn't find any. I can use a Function and Return the value which will give me number of rows to be updated, But is there any Simple Logic other than this.. or any count function. Your Help is Appreciated. Thanks!

If you really want to do this (I have no clue why you would need it), then you can piggy back on any existing pessimistic locking you may already have in place.
However, it would require two loops through the records of which you want to know the count before you update, and a second pass to update them.
I would really re-think the need for this, though.

N86 firmware v20

I have a n86 on product code 0566656 and cannot get firmware v20 ,what code is it available on

mo_shef wrote:Even if NSU / FOTA Nokia still can release BETA firmware without even telling the customers. How on earth would you go from a good stable v11 firmware to a complete utter v20 firmware which aint even stable?
There are notes (official notes) that come with the v20 firmware package where it clearly states Maitenance Release which has to be explained to the customer if this is applied to their handset. I could put it on here but dont wanna break rules.
I was just telling not to update as its BETA firmware and would cause problems.
You are still misleading. The term "maintenance release" means that the update is purely aimed at fixing bugs and not adding new features, it does not mean that it is "Beta software". The definition of beta software is software that is released to volunteers for testing, beta is not software that is offered for general release to all users.
And if you are seeing, presumably through your work, "official notes" about Nokia products, then your are in breach of rules by discussin them. In my line of work, I often see information from device manufacturers that is regarded confidential, but you'll never find me repeating any of this information here or on any other forum because I'd be jeopardising my employer's relationship with the manufacturers and in doing so put my own job at risk - and I for one am not foolish enough to do that.
You should watch your step - several months ago, one of the long-term users of this forum 'disappeared' from the boards amidst rumours that he had been fired from his job with a European mobile network because he had been providing confidential information to an independent web site.
Why did the v20 firmware have new feature ? eg Fixed Focus, Face Dectection, OVI Standby etc As you can see its new features. Maintenance release is classed as Beta but they dont use that phrase BETA. Yes it official but still it says clearly that you have to tell customers that is maitenance release. Nokia directly wont tell you but on the notes it does.
Im ok I dont work for Nokia but I have paid Nokia for acess to services such as Notes, Firmware, Service Logs and many others. As long as Nokia got there money there ok with that.If i did work for Nokia i wouldnt say anything i'd rather keep my job lol.

Nokia N93 (firmware V20) issues

Hello,
I bought (on February 1st) a Nokia N93 that I quickly upgraded to firmware V20.
Even with that firmware, I still have some very annoying issues :
(1) I expected to personnalize my ring tones on the calling number basis, like on my previous Nokia telephone. Although I think that I found how to do this, it doesn't seem to work : the calling number is correctly received, but the telephone doesn't seem to make the link with the corresponding contact list entry.
(2) There seems to be two different web browsers on this telephone, one for the Internet, and another for the WAP.
The WAP browser seems to have a lot of trouble in correctly displaying pictures in WAP pages : about one picture out of two is shown as a (about) 2x2 pixels tiny "picture". In order to correct it, I have to move my N93 screen to the landscape position, and next to move it back to its previous place.
(3) When watching a video using the N93's Real Player, the video is not displayed full screen at the beginning. In order to do this, I have to STOP the video, then open the "Option" menu, and select the "Read in full screen" command. But when I watch it full screen, if I press any key, the display reverts to tiny size without stopping, and I have to restart the whole process for going back to full screen.
I didn't find any command for displaying full screen without stopping the video. Did I miss something ?
On such a tiny screen, I couldn't imagine anybody willing to watch a video otherwise than full screen ... Why isn't this the default, or at least being configurable for becoming it ?
Best regards,
Gingko

Yes, about "contacts", I already did that.
I can select the appropriate ring tone for each contact, that way.
But the problems is that, when this contact later makes a phone call to me, and although I correctly receive his phone number from my operator, and although his name and his phone number have correctly (hopefully) been entered in my contact list, and although I selected a ring tone for him (either directly or via contact groups), the N93 doesn't seem to be able to find the corresponding number at the time of the call, and the display shows only the phone number with the default ring tone, like if I never created this contact in the list.
Thank you for your help.
Gingko

Sir, kindly tell me, can my iphone 4s downgrade ios 8.0.2 to ios 7.1.2 because ios 7.1.2. is working very smooth in my iphone 4s before update ios 8.0.2

sir, kindly tell me, can my iphone 4s downgrade ios 8.0.2 to ios 7.1.2 because ios 7.1.2. is working very smooth in my iphone 4s before update ios 8.0.2

No, Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.1.2. So, you know, you can't downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7 any more. Instead of bearing the pain of slow iOS 8 on your iPhone 4s, I think you should learn how to speed up iOS 8 on your iPhone, say clear junk files and delete unwanted photos and messages to leaving more storage for running iOS 8, end multiple task and reduce motion effect to boost the performance.
