Nokia 5235 firmware upgrade

I am from India and have a 5235 the current installed version is 21.6.005. I have an Airtel connection if that helps.
Nokia india site shows that there is a software upgrade available from march onwards (You will not find 5235 but if you search for 5230 it shows both 5230 and 5235) but even today my phone does not get the update. I have tried with OVI Suite and also from the Phone it says "No Updates are available".
Please check this page and search for 5230 it shows the following details.
New software releases (version 50.x.00x) are now available for Nokia 5230, 5235 and 5238
(In March it was showing version 40 now version 50 my guess is even if the version goes upto 100 still 5235 user will be stuck with 21.6.005)
Nokia has to learn lot of things from Apple and other vendors. Apple has released iOS-5 recently and all the phones world wide can install this update irrespective of the carrier why doesnt nokia provide update in similar way. Nokia always blame the carrier.
I want some one from Nokia support to tell when 5235 upgrade will be available.

Is your phone Network Branded ? i.e. Did you buy it from the Airtel shop along with Airtel SIM ?
When you say 'Nokia always blame the carrier' its not Nokia that blames anyone.. When a phone is Network locked, you get it at much cheaper price than the open market..but in turn you pay the price by having to stick to that particular Operator with some specific Firmware that has some benefits to the Operator. In this case its upto the Operator to approve the newer Firmware..

Nokia 5230 Firmware 20.x.x.x Issues

I am currently in possession of a Nokia 5230 purchased on Jan 2010 loaded with firmware 11.0.079 . I recently came across a slew of articles regarding the restarting defect caused when ugrading to firmware 20.x.x.x .
(/t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/Nokia-5230-RESTARTING-DEFECT/m-p/635260)
As of now I have no problems whatsoever in using my phone (except using the mailbox though) and my phone never restarts. Is it advisable for me to upgrade to the new firmware or abstain away from doing so. And as mentioned by other users Nokia Support dosen't seem to be very helpful in this regard.
If anybody has any idea over this issue please advice.

i m currently using 5230 with v20.x.x, (came with v12.x.x) and i never had the "restart defect" on v20.x.x, actually its a lot better/improved then v12.x.x. in many areas.
from my experience, i would recommend you to update to v20.x.x. but decision is yours.

Nokia n80 firmware upgrade problems

Hi all i just tried to do a firmware upgrade using the nokia sites stuff and my pc crashed and now my fone wont turn on could some1 please tell me
1 if this is terminal
2 if i can sort this out myself
3 point me in the right direction for the info i need to sort out my 3 week fone
4 how much i should expect to pay if i HAVE to go to a shop to get it sorted
thanks in advance for any help given

Right first thing I would try is to connect your mobile to your pc and try running NSU again. If it connects to your N80 great you should be able to just start over.
(Tips: Run only the NSU on PC close all other programmes down. and ensure your N80 is charged fully or at least plug your charger into the N80 whilst doing the update.)
If your N80 Isn't recognised by the NSU then its dead and the only way go revive the poor little things is to:
1: Take is to a Nokia Service Centre. Carphone warehouse is usually your closest NSC, If your lucky they will have an 'on site' techinician and he will fix your N80 within an hour or same day, if not then you will have to leave it with them for a week or so.
2: Call your Service provider, tell them your N80 just went bye bye and they should swap it for you or at least give you a refurbished N80.
You won't be charged by the Nokia Service Centre for any work done as your within your warrenty and if you choose to go back to your service provider you should also be covered. This has happened to me and I sent my N80 back to O2 they had a refurbished model sent back to me within a couple of days with no charges.

Nokia N73 Firmware upgrade

I took my N73 which is on 3 network for a firmware upgrade on friday. When I had it done, it wasnt updated at all. I was really disapointed so i asked the guy in the shop why its the same and he said it was that. I was well disapointed because when i manage to get it done it wasnt.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

guys, if it is not on nokia's site yet you need to speak with a nokia engineer, they can do this work for you

Downgrading Nokia 5230 firmware?

I downloaded and installed the latest 20.0.005 update for my Nokia 5230, and it offered nothing in the way of performance gains and new features, but instead slowed the device down and removed the ability to skip through more than 4 songs per use.
Is there a way to downgrade from 20.0.005 to good old 12.X.XXX?

It isn't possible to roll back firmware updates. I would suggest you try the *#7370# reset which I would recommend doing after firmware updates. Remember to backup your data.

Sadly something has gone wrong with the update leaving the phone unusable. You can try a hard reset but remove the sim and memory card first.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.
If this fails the your only option is to get it repaired. If you are in Europe you get a 2 year warranty, not 1 year.

Nokia E65 - Firmware upgrade

Hiya
I have an E65 with the following firmware version:
1.0633.18.01
11-01-07
RM-208
With Vodafone software as well.
It runs rather slow and sluggish. Is there a new version which will make it quicker? I have to re-boot the phone as some of the functions stop working.
How do I upgrade/get hold of any newer versions? Will I have to take it back to Vodafone or Nokia Service Center or can i do it myself?
Thanks for your help.

Try, first, by reformatting the phone with *#7370# and without restoring the backup. If things work, then something is wrong with the backup, probably.
I tried reformat the phone and then use him without restoring the backup. All work regulary. Thanks

Nokia N73 Firmware Upgrade Problems

I just upgraded my firmware. I backed up before. I've restored the backup, and now many of my applications are missing, and so are ALL of my contacts. I know these were backed up as I remember checking the log after the backup to make sure that they were, and it said they all were successfully.
One strange thing, in my call log, and in my messages, they still have their names? And also, these were not stored on the simcard, they were stored on the phone. I also have a memory card that I didn't backup, as it wasn't needed too.
If anyone can help, I still do have the backups. Even if they'res a program that can read the nokia backups, I can just manually save contacts.
Cheers
Kieron

hmmm...try to do the hard reset on the phone and maybe remove the memory card and do the restore again. you know what, to prevent this from happening again in the future, make sure to copy ur contacts in ur sim card...thats what i do...

Nokia E71 firmware upgrade to 210.21.006 problems

I have just upgraded my firmware to the above version and now have the following problems; 1) the phone freezes 2) I cannot end an active call by pressing the red button but have to go to the menu and choose end active call. 3) the right soft key doesn't work in several apps. 4) the camera is now very slow to save image and yet again the right softkey (back) won't work and you have to press the home key and restart the camera between pictures.5) the phone has reset itself 7 times since the upgrade, during calls, internet or just on standby. Has anyone else upgraded and had the smae problems? the phone was fine before the upgrade and i only did the upgrade as it was supposed to have improved the camera and the audio quality. I have just re-installed the update to see if this amkes a difference. Here's hoping.

It’s now over 24 hours since I emailed Nokia and I haven't received a reply yet, not even an acknowledgement of the email. I think if I haven’t received a positive reply by Friday everyone that has problems should send a blanket email to Nokia (all sections of support) and see if they reply.
It would appear that Nokia are concerned with quantity of sales rather than quality of product and services
.I will post any response

Nokia Suite firmware upgrade killed my 6233 RANT!

I had a perfectly good 6233 which I have had for a couple of years (originally on 02 but now virgin). After downloading Nokia PC suite (XP) so I could back up all of my info (which I did OK) it told me to upgrade the firmware. I followed the instructions to the letter but after 10 minutes or so it said that the software update had failed. I left the phone connected and followed Pschomania's recovery guide but all to no avail. The phone is totally dead. I contacted Nokia support centre and was told that the phone wasn't worth repairing as it would be at leat £45 to look at it, so I have gone from having a perfectly good (and fairly expensive) phone to having to buy another phone. That looks like a pretty good buisness to me. Break a customers product for them then tell them thay have to but another one. Well it certainly won't be another Nokia (I have always had Nokia in the past, this is my 6th)...so it's no wonder their profits are plummeting really is it!

Unfortunately the most common cause of failed updates is the computer or combinations of the software running on it.
Firmware updating is a delicate process for any device, not just nokia phones. Sometimes though it is the phone that causes the failure for no apparent reason.
No one can predict when a phone will fail during an update and the updater can't take into account every possible combination of software on your computer.
It's no help to you but modern nokia's are far more robust and the failure rate has dropped sharply over the last couple of years.
If you want your rant to be seen by nokia you will need to use the contact us link near the top of the page.

Nokia E90 firmware upgrade

1)The new firmware must support album art(please nokia!!)
2)The stereo widening feature should be added....
3)Images should be allowed to be taken from internal screen
4)It should also have much better ringtones...
5)New applications like yahoo go! truphone and Skype should be added as they are important for bussiness..
IF ANY OTHER FEATURE THAN PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST...
AND MODERATORS PLEASE CIVE THIS IDEA TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATER TEAM
TKS InDrA

Nokia N95 firmware upgrades

I've got an N95-1 on Vodafone with the product code 0547869 and it's v11.0.026. I've checked on the software updater and it says that there's no updates for it. However Vodafone are absolutely adamant that I should be able to update to either V12 or V20 via the software updater.
As it doesn't seem to be available via the software updater what should I do to get the firmware updated?

If your phone is under warranty then it should be free.
