Nokia N86 and Three (Network) Firmware Updates

When will we see a firmware update for the N86 on Three network? I got it yesterday as an exchange for my N85 and though i like the phone, the phone does freeze and crash on simple things like opening the inbox for messages and loading music.
Checked for updates, there were none, seems to be stuck on v11

That's up to Three. When they approve the update and add their customisations, Nokia will post it.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

Nokia E71 - Product 0578223 No firmware update

I have had my E71 for over 12 months now and had no issues, all of a sudden the device keeps turning itself off and is quite slow and unresponsive.
I checked for an update on the Nokia Update Checker site and on entering the following details:
Product Code: 0578223
It states there is no updates, I find this quite bizarre when I see people on the net using 300.xx.xxx
I have phoned my provider Orange (UK) and they state to contact Nokia.
Anyone else having issues with this product code, or know of a solution to getting a firmware update?
My current firmware on the device is 200.21.118

Herewith my reply from Nokia Support:

Nokia N86 and (Snow) Leopard

Does anyone here know if the Nokia N86 smartphone is compatible with the latest cats, Leopard and Snow Leopard?
I currently have an N73 and it interfaces just fine either via USB or Bluetooth and the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app (1.4). iSync, iPhoto, iTunes are able to speedily do their thing with the phone. Bluetooth connectivity started working again after the 10.5.8 update. However, that phone is getting dated and my carrier is currently offering very attractive hardware upgrade plans for the holiday season; since the main use I have for it (besides making calls and sending SMS's) is taking pictures, the N86 fabulous 8 megapixel camera with mechanical shutter and Zeiss lens is really attractive.
Nokia says the Multimedia Transfer app is not compatible, but it said the same thing about the N73, so I'd rather ask the Discussions Collective any experiences with this N86 phone. Yeah or nay?
Oh, and why am I blaspheming about a Nokia instead of following the One True Faith and getting an iPhone? Cause it is too bloody expensive over here with our carriers! Not only is it expensive to get, it is even more so to maintain!! Doubles or triples what I currently pay.

If you can't find your phones there, there might be some third party support options on http://www.macupdate.com/ or http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/

Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
Any thoughts?
Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
Thanks.

Just to update.
After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
Any ideas?

Computer died and interrupted the Firmware update, now I'm stuck

Not sure what to do, the computer won't start up, but the light is on... no keyboard functions will work, and the screen is black...

If a firmware update has failed during installation and the firmware becomes damaged as a result then there is a way to restore the computer's original firmware.
It's necessary to download certain software from Apple and burn it to CD. Of course this means another Mac (in working order) is required.
Details here: Firmware Restoration CD 1.2
Note there is a small error in instructions 7 & 8. A correct version can be found here: artnum 303469
MacBook (OS 10.4.8); iMac G4 (OS 10.3.9); iMac G3 (OS 10.2.8); etc

To Nokia: have you forgotten about firmware update...

Seriously, just making sure that the code didn't fall somewhere through the cracks. 0591930 is a product code for NAM (north american) version of N97 mini, just like 0584971. The difference is that the latter have already received firmware upgrade, whereas the owners of 0591930 are still waiting and getting more and more impatient. Can you please include us in FW update as well?
Also, since on the subject, let me mention something that I find really annoying. I use bluetooth most of the time, either walking around at work with a headset or driving and using handsfree, and all that time I have phone in my pocket. Now, almost all bluetooth devices nowadays have an answer button, so you can make or receive calls without reaching for the device. So explain this to me: why whenever I answer the call using bluetooth, the keypad/screen unlocks? For me it doesn't make any sense. It happened with my E51, and still happens with my N97 mini. I'm driving in the car, the phone rings, I answer using bluetooth, and next thing I know I either "hang up" (involuntarily) or activate gazillion programs/settings on the phone because even though I never removed it from my pocket, the screen became active and started accepting all kinds of touches. Same thing with keypad on E51 - suddenly the buttons become pressed, even though when I put it in my pocket (before the phone rang) I made sure the keys are locked. So the only thing you can really do while driving, even though you're using so called "handsfree", is to answer the phone, dig it out of your pocket while hoping that the RED button or HANG UP square are not pressed, lock the keys/screen AGAIN, and then put it back. Until someone else doesn't call that is... How stupid is that? Unless, of course, there is some hidden purpose to this action that I don't understand. Still, I'd like a choice somewhere in settings that would let me decide whether or not I want my keys/screen to unlock as I answer my phone via bluetooth...

LOL. I just realized that you actually think a firmware request on this site would work? This is not a tech forum. We are not Nokia employees. This is a user-to-user forum. You'd be lucky if any Nokia employee has read this, or will be able to read this. Chances of that are like, nil. Moderators dont answer queries. Also, Nokia is not the only factor in delayed firmware. Let me explain.
1. Network branded - some phones have product codes that are branded to a certain company. Even if your phone came SIM free from a store, it does not guarantee that it is unbranded. TMobile supplies SIM free phones, but their phones are all branded for example. These phones will only get firmware upgrades IF the network or company to which they are branded approves the firmware for their phones.
2. Country Variant - Some countries require a special variant for their own. China for example has a 3G disabled country variant. India has a country variant which locks which apps the phones there can use (some apps for Nokia India arent usable on phones bought outside India), Some Euro countries have different qwerty keyboards (azerty for example). Some countries' variants have no noticeable difference but they are still country variants (Philippine variant, for example). AFAIK these variants require approval from local telecom bureaucracies before getting their update. This was also cited as one of the possible reasons why UK has late updates.
3. Special Edition phones - are made for a special reason, like a company promotion, or a holiday, etc. An example would be the Middle Eastern Ramadan Edition. It has certain apps available for it alone. these apps are firmware embedded so it needs a separate firmware from the generic ones. These often get firmware last or never, since firmware for this may only be released upon request from the sponsoring company, or by the country who requested the special edition.

Nokia 5800 Screen Problems After Firmware Update V...

Hi all,
I have the Nokia 5800 navigation edition. I just updated the firmwareon it from V40. to the latest available 51.2.007. Doing so has turned the phone's screen into a huge mess - the lower half of the screen is all white and the upper half has some weired flickering and the icons(the ones that are visible) are all messed up too and some of them are not responding at all.
Heres what I've done to resolve the problem:
- remove the battery, memory and sim cards for a few hours.
- reboot the phone without the memory card(eliminating any corrupt setup files).
- reinstalled the V51.2.007 update several times using bothe the Ovi Suite and the older Nokia PC Suite updater.
- tried running the updates on all XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Can you please advise me of any other possible solutions I can try. Is there any way to revert back to the older firmware. The phone was working just fine before the update.
Thank you all for your help.

There is another way to hard reset your phone and it is as follows.
With your phone powered off, press and hold Green + Red + Camera Keys. Then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you see the Nokia Shaking Hands Logo.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
This reset will revert the phone to its out of the box state, so it will revert back to the original version of Maps that came with the phone. However, this should be an issue as you can easily redownload and reinstall the latest again.

No LTE (4G) on the UK THREE network since update to 5.1.1

Yet another failed update by SONY. Since the latest update (5.1.1) I have not been able to access the THREE 4G network(4G was fine on the previous update but all the other errors on this lollipop release were horrendous) The 4G shows up in the "Netwok operators" page but my Z3 simply will not connect to it anymore. I have been in touch with THREE & they have assured me it is not a network problem & I have used my sim in my 2nd phone (Samsung Note Edge) & get the 4G no problem. SONY you create more problems with every single update you release - I think it is time you give it a miss & bowed out of the mobile phone arena because you simply do not have the nowse. I consider my Xperia Z3 experience a huge mistake which I regret daily - SHAME ON YOU SONY!!!!!!!

I am experiencing the same problem in the past two days since upgrade to 5.1. Yahoo Mail says it is receiving messages but does not show them in any of the mailboxes. Very frurstrating. It occurred first on the iPad after upgrade, and my iphone still worked. This morning, I upgraded to iphone, and it is doing the same thing now as the ipad. It also seems to have the same problems on both on 3G and wi-fi.

Nokia 610 any benefit of Firmware Update

I have got a Nokia 610 in my car.
The software rev. of the telefone is V4.50 (15.01.04)
My dealer told me that the actual version is V5.16.
Is there any benefit in updating the firmware?

BTW, I think this issue may be specific to 480i widescreen material viewed through non-HDMI inputs. I was in a Best Buy today, and didn't see any difference with this TV versus other TVs with whatever materal was being played back through all the TVs, but I believe this was because they were feeding an actual HD signal (greater than 480 pixels in height) via through the antenna input.
Anyway, I'm thinking of returning this TV and taking my chances on <gasp> an Insignia 28" class LED backlit TV. I really think Toshiba is a better brand (or at least was), but this issue of the sides getting slightly cut off (as explained in the original post) is kind of annoying. It's too bad Toshiba hasn't indicated they will address/fix this issue.

Nokia 808 AND 701 get minor updates

According to the log, the update is called Telephony update and brings "quality improvements". There are no new features to come with it, but the fact that Nokia pushed it probably means you better get it. It will most probably fix those network-switching glitches that some people were experiencing.
ITS AVAILABLE ota..
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Hi all,
Can anybody pl throw light on so called camera quality improvement as claimed in the description of camera update. I could not find any perceptible improvement in picture or video quality taken with Nokia 701 after instatlling update. Hope this is not false claim by Nokia.

Ishvin, I'm sure I've read somewhere that the firmware on your phone can't be downgraded.
One question though... if the old 100% used to hurt your ears, do you really need the old volume levels back?! That may even be the reason it has changed if Nokia thought the same thing... I'm sure they wouldn't want you sending them a bill to get your hearing fixed! :-)
yes this is true but stil i want it loud enough so i can't hear it outside. i just hope they put the volume back up on the next firmware

Nokia 5800 and new V40 firmware

Just updated the firmware on my phone and have a minor problem.
When someone rings me and the phone is unlocked I can answer the call ok, but when the phone is locked and someone rings it says answer in green and unlock is blue, I am unable to answer the call until I unlock the the phone then tapping answer, answers the call, how can I answer the call without unlocking the phone?

CONGRATULATIONS -- WE HAVE A WINNER!
You're the first person I've seen to complain about this.
Have you not noticed the following?:
a) it's an arrow you're shown, pointing to the right, which implies movement.
b) the arrow is animated in a left-to-right direction, also implying movement.
The arrow is not a button, it is a suggestion. Next time, try swiping the screen in the same direction as the arrow and in the same direction as the animation: from left to right.
There were dozens of threads about this when the feature first appeared on the N97 last year.
You can also unlock the phone with the physical button on the right and it will take you to a more familiar view. It's like pressing the silence button, the call is still incoming but there's no ring.

Airport Utility and AEBS DB firmware updates question

I have an AEBS DB2 version set up with a MBP Airport Utility which came from the install cd of the AEBS, which was Airport Utility 5.5 and the AEBS DB2 had firmware 7.5. I did update to 5.5.1 and 7.5.1, respectively and all is fine. However, I have another MBP that is just set up to use the wifi signal. I noticed that it also wanted to pull in the AU 5.5.1 update even thought I never installed the AU from the AEBS cd. I am wondering if 5.5.x, which could only be gotten on the cd, is now just the standard and it doesn't matter. Or, did the other MBP just know it was using a wifi AEBS and thus Apple set it up to find that newer update..after all, It never found a 5.5 before...it was just using whatever upto 10.6.2 had installed.

I noticed that it also wanted to pull in the AU 5.5.1 update even thought I never installed the AU from the AEBS cd. I am wondering if 5.5.x, which could only be gotten on the cd, is now just the standard and it doesn't matter.
Interestingly, when 5.5.1 became available via AU, it also showed up for Macs & PCs via a download from Apple Support - Downloads site as well ... and you're right, v5.5 is only available from the CD.

Seems N79, N85 and and 55 30 got Firmware updates

http://www.intomobile.com/2009/12/17/nokia-n79-n85-and-5530-get-firmware-updates.html
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has released updates for three of its Symbian S60 smartphones. Without further ado, here they are:
Nokia N79 – after the update, the N79’s firmware reaches version 32.001. Details on what’s new are unknown at the stage, as we still haven’t seen the full change log. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hit the “Update” button – quite the contrary.
Nokia N85 – firmware version jumps to 31.002. According to AllAboutSymbian, this is mostly a bugfix release with tweaks on streaming and naming convention of GMail (Googlemail in the UK and Germany). I’m guessing, the N79 got a pretty much similar update.
Nokia 5530 XM – once updated, the low-end all-touchscreen device’s firmware is in version 20.0.080. The 140MB heavy download updates Nokia’s Ovi apps (Maps, Store), Nokia Music widget, and so on. In addition, it’s fair to add some known bugs are fixed here as well.
As usual, we advise you to backup your device prior to performing any updates, just in case…

The N79 firmware listed there has not been released. It's only presented for a small number of product codes and is likely experimental at Nokia.
