Nokia Beta Firmware! (Treat Customers Fairly)

Nokia released v20.115 for the Nokia N86 8MP. How on earth did this get past testing? The main animation dont work the phone along with other firmware. Nokia should have warned users before updating its a BETA firmware continue at your own risk. Don't know what they been taking while writing up firmware code for the N86. 
For future firmware release I would like Nokia to inform users that whether firmware is BETA or not. Customers should not be used as guinea pigs for testing new firmware unless they actually sign up to a BETA programme from Nokia. This is not fair to the customers. 
I was wondering if the mods can pass this to the relevant firmware tea. In future the firmware team should do more testing before releasing and mention on FOTA or NSU that its a BETA firmware or not.
The Nokia N86 v20.115 is a BETA firmware from Nokia !
What are your opinions on this?

You should count yourself lucky, the N97 hasn't had a production level firmware release to date!
V10 constantly crashed, V11 worked but was full of stupid bugs that even basic testing (i.e. use the phone for a day) would have found, and V12 fixed very few of these and screwed up loads of existing wireless connection configurations requiring some rather involved backup/reset procedures to get things to work again.
I don't know what has happened to Nokia's quality control in the past few years. It seems that now because people can perform firmware updates at home they think this is a valid excuse to issue "it compiles, ship it!" firmware.

    What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks   again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it  . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • Nokia 6555b Firmware Update

    Is there an update for the Nokia 6555b firmware?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Very odd, not known a phone to be missing it's product code from the label under the battery before.
    Have you tried connecting your phone to the computer and running the Nokia Software Updater?
    This will tell you if there's an available update.
    Be aware if your phone is network branded then it's highly unlikely that an update will be available. Most networks don't like approving new updates.

  • What happened to the Beta firmware downloa

    The U.S. Creative support site used to have beta firmwares for download months in advance back when NOMAD Jukebox , 2 & 3 were the newest players, but then they disappeared, howcome?

    Actually they only had beta firmware for the NJB, and the NJB firmware is not being developed any more.

  • Nokia E90 firmware download problem

    Hi - I'm trying to update my Nokia E90 firmware from 210.34.75 to 300.34.84 and the 81.9MB file downloads perfectly (in under 3 minutes) until it gets to 60.3MB and then stops. Any ideas? I've un-installed the entire PC Suite and its add-ons, an no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Ian.

    I also had trouble downloading the software upgrade (from version 7.xx to version 300.34.84) for my E90. I tried three times before it actually begun to download - upon which, the download and upgrade went by successfully. I agree that the upgrade - even from my very old/early firmware - was almost completely pointless. Some of the trouble I'm having now is with the Download! folder, specifically the Applications subfolder - it does not update it's context - actually, it's totally unaccessible. Also, the Windows Live Application no longer works - and I'm unable to download a fresh copy.
    I backed up all the data on the phone prior to the firmware upgrade - as required for the retention of software certificates and data.
    Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

  • Nokia 5610 firmware update....................

    im having a little problem with my nokia 5610 firmware update.
    The problem is that after updating my phone with version 8.30 the slide animation feature of my phone is not working. On slide open\close the picture set in the theme is supposed to appear but nothing appears.
    Before the update this feature was working perfectly fine. i reported about this issue to nokia customer care also but they just advised me to wait for the next firmware i.e. v9.40 . As the new firmware released on my product code i again updated my phone's firmware and this time with version 9.40. Still it did not help me. The same problem persists . Please note here that nothing went wrong during the update . All other features of my phone are working perfectly fine .
    Can anyone please help me on this issue??????

    Hi there,
    The version 10.00 for the Nokia 5610 has been around since early July, so certainly it would be available for all countries in the APAC region.
    Just make sure the phone is fully charged and backed up and you're set to update.
    Cheers and Good Luck

  • RV220W Beta Firmware 1.0.4.17

    Is anyone else using the Beta firmware?
    There are some improvements.
    One can now view alerts and notifications within the software.
    Also it appears as if the Protect Link Block Page was reworked to allow direct acces to Trand Micro Website for checking out Blocked URLS.
    I also think CPU and memory usage is much improved.
    Small Business Support can provide the firmware.

    I agree with the thought of Cisco needing to take the SMB market seriously.
    I suppose some of the issue, like you alluded to is the division of the products between
    Enterprise, Enterprise for Small Business, & Small Business.
    Enterprise Grade products are Configurable,Complex & not Plug & Play. Their small business counterparts on the contrary need to be easy to use & easy to setup, but instead they retain some of the complexity of their big brothers.
    I was advised to buy an SA520, but chose the RV220W because of price.
    That said I do like my RV220W over the Sonic Wall TZ100. As far as ZYXEL their product lijne is somewhat limited.
    With Cisco I know they have a full line-up of compatible products for the majority of my needs.The products are well built & generally work well with one another.
    I do really like the QOS per VLAN on the RV220W as well as the Protect Link Filter. Also the SSL VPN Portal is a really neat idea -it just doesn't work in Windows 7.
    Hopefully we see some of the issues addressed in the next firmware update like slow DHCP assignment, lack of clear logs for Protect Link, & an Easy VPN setup wizard. Actually setup Wizards for everything would be great.
    Feature Requests:
    Port Forwarding Wizard
    Protect Link Wizard
    VPN Setup Wizard
    QOS Setup Wizard (with AUTO VOIP setting?)
    Live logs from all systems including Protect Link.
    IPS (in a simplified form)
    Connect Protect link & Firwall Conten Filtering.
    Allow SSLVPN Portal to work with Windows 7, Windows 8, IE9, Firefox, & Chrome.

  • How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released.  Or were you simply trying to be funny? 
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Nokia 6680 firmware update

    Has anyone else had trouble updating the nokia 6680 firmware. My current firmware is V3.04.11 and i have read that the new version is V5.04.07 but the updater says there is no updates for my phone.

    Or [latest version] for your operator variant... If you have operator spesific phone it's SW releases are approved by operator and Nokia's updater apparently is kind enough to install only latest version of whatever your dear operator has approved for you. My 6680 (generic, non-subsidised version) updated to 5.04.07 just fine with the updater.
