Nokia N97 Upgrade 2. Need infos...

If i update N97 to the new firmware will i lose the applications i have istalled?
I took me hour and ofcourse money to get the apps in my phone so will be any chance to lose them?
When i once updated the software on my previous phone (N95) i couldn't use the apps i had before eventhough the shortcut icons where still there and i was unable to remove them. So this was a bit annoying.
Will something like that happen again to my N97? I bought Ndrive gps and many games from the vodafone live menu, not to refer the apps i got from the ovi store.. So all these got me much time to achieve.. Will everything be lost after the update? Or even Worst will be there and not accesible for anything?
Thanks. I hope i get a very good answer on this.. Cause that's for me the reason to update to the new firmware or not.

Installing new firmware should not require you to reinstall your applications you've previously purchased as the N97 utilises UDP (User Data Preservation).  I've done two firmware updates on my N97 since getting it, from v10 to v11 and then v11 to v12, plus a firmware reinstall and have never lost anything.
It is, however, good practice to back up your device 'just in case' so you have something to fall back on if it does go wrong as nothing is ever 100% guaranteed.

  • No firmware upgrade for my Nokia N97 PC 0586701

    Yes!!! ...and another thread. I also bought my device from amazon, not branded and for much money. And Yes!!! I'm also waiting for the upgrade.
    On the one hand Nokia 's Informatin is: "Neuestes Software-Release für Nokia N97 ist 20.0.019"
    (and there is also the firmware 21 out)
    And for the PC 0586701 they say "Latest available software for  Nokia N97, product code  
    Version:  12.0.026"
    What the f***???
    Once I was a satisfied customer and this is my 12th Nokia deivice. The expensivest is the N97. But it's the device with the worst service. It will be my last Nokia and maybe I should better switch to Apple'S iPhone.

    your mobile is :
    0586701: N97 Germany (DE) CV B
    and updates for country variant delays in some countries

  • How can import  nokia n97 contacts in iPhone 4

    How can import  nokia n97 contacts in iPhone 4  which is stored in window vista

    depend on how it's stored
    when you connect your iphone to your computer and open your itunes on the computer
    and click on the iphone under devices and get the iphone content menu you can
    click on the info tab on the content menu
    there you can choose how you will be syncronizing contacts to your iphone
    if what you mean by "is stored in windows vista" is avaible in the dropdownbox then choose
    that otherwise you need to export the contacts from the "stored by windows vista" to an options
    present in the dropdownbox
    the most easy thing would be using an export to pst and import from pst in microsoft outlook as it is pretty compabile with many things

  • Nokia N97 mini firmware

    First of all I would like to excuse me for my bad English as I am from Latvia!
    Recently I have bought a new Nokia N97 mini. I have backed up everything and written down all the name of software that I afterwards uninstalled as I thought that it would be better for firmware update process. My goal was to update the phone to the newest firmware for my phone, however I got into problems with all the versions available.
    So this is the information on my mobile phone:
    Software version: v 11.0.102
    Software version date: 01-02-2010
    Custom version: 11.0.102.C01.01
    Custom version date: 01-02-2010
    Language set: 13
    Model: N97 mini
    Type: RM-555
    Latest update: Not updated
    >What I understand is that that some custom firmware version is installed there. I should mention that it is brand new and right out of box from Finland so I don`t think that anyone would have made custom version, installed it and repacked the phone.
    When I use Nokia Software Updater in my PC (MS Win 7) I got informed about that that the latest possible version is already installed.
    When I use Nokia web site using my telephone code written under the battery I got informed that latest available software for my device is: 10.0.020, however in phone there is version 11.0.102.C01.01 installed.
    When I was looking for the latest software release for Nokia N97 Mini it was 12.0.110, however there was mentioned that it is only for certain devices.
    So the question is if the latest firmware (12.0.110) version custom package is available for my device. If it is possible that there in my device there is a newer custom version (11.0.102.C01.01) installed than my Nokia N97 mini device support (10.0.020) than it should be possible that there is some newer custom firmware (12.0.110) available for my phone.
    =============================================================
    So where can I obtain it? And speaking generally were (exact internet address of FTP or HTTP protocol handled server, with login information, if needed) all Nokia N97 mini firmware`s could be found? I would even try to install non-customized version 12.0.110 of it on my phone. Maybe I don`t even need any custom version and all Nokia N97 mini devices can handle any Nokia N97 mini firmware?

    I can clearly live without Latvian language and as it is well known that there is no special or no at all services or applications for Latvia region that I could miss. I would better use United Kingdom apps and turn off some really unnecessary services or news.
    I would`t reply if there were nothing at all from Latvia in phone. I just need to get it work faster and with less problems form software side. I could use any Nokia N97 mini update version that doesn`t have "Comes with music" services and apps as I don`t have license to it.

  • Need info on table: LATP_ENQ

    HI Experts,
    I need info related to the table LATP_ENQ.
    We create sales order in CRM, through some B-Docs order will be replicated in ECC.
    Entries are getting created in this table based on availability of the materials.
    Through Z-Transaction code, we delete entries in this table.
    Sometimes blank entries are getting created in this table, I would like to know in which scenario this table is getting updated.
    Regards,
    Swaraj

    Hi Swaraj
    As it is a Z transaction t.code and as you have deleted the table when we upgrade our ECC version then those blank tables have to be upgraded
    Regards

  • Nokia N97, Phone from hell (CHINA), built for the ...

    Well the subject spells it out, No need to address all the issues. My biggest dissappointment besides a $600 phone not functioning after only 5 weeks of use is; I paid premium price for a premium mobile phone. For the price of a N97 I could have bought a good notebook and a simple mobiel phone. The biggest issue was that is said "MADE IN CHINA". Does it matter where it was made vs who made it? Absolutely, does matter. When you pay top dollar for a complex device would you rather see it made in china, Korea or Finland? How many of you folks would buy the same item and choose to take one that is made in china? If they had told me that I would be recieving a chinese made original Nokia N97, I defintely would not have completed the purchase. I know I am not alone on this one.

    no i does not matter where your nokia was made as long as it is genuine. my nokia was made in china as well for the US market. the quality and components are the same for all production plant of nokia irregardless of where it is made.

  • Problem in nokia n97 charging

    sridharrb - apart from the fact that your problem has no relationship to this thread, your problem is a symptom of the rubbish handsets that Nokclue build. The only real fix is to replace your phone with a handset from another manufacturer.
    Nokia N97 (RM-507) v 22
    iPhone 4 (Coming Soon) - Lemon N97 - SE - Nokia 8210 - Nokia 7710 - Nokia 5100

    When i connect charger to my mobile (n97 mini) it wont charge automatically, i need to switch off the mobile and start again then it will charge, its really sucks,
    almost a month i am struggling with it, Even i give it to nokia service dealer they just erase the software and clean but still the problem same.
    What could be the problem and how can i fix it.

  • Nokia N97 mini,

    I have a Nokia N97 mini. I know the screen is not easily breakable and mine is not, but I think it inner screen is mashed and needs replacement. It shows this blue ink in some places on the screen. How much as an estimate will the changing of the screen cost me?

    Best is to contact your local Nokia Care because the price will vary according to the region.. you may also ask them about their Service charges...You may find the NCC HERE ..

  • Disappointed from Nokia N97

    HI i purchases a Nokia N97 about a month or two ago. i picked the white version and at the same time my dad picked the black version. over this past month i had so many problems with it such as shutting off for no reason quitting applications for no reason, having a black screen for a few second, etc.
    i went to the Nokia Flagship store and they took my phone to diagnose it. They replaced some vibration sensor which did not help at all and my phone kept on having all of those problems. Yesterday i went to the store and they replaced my phone in a new one, now this phone is also messed up. most of the time it gives me this error message: "disk error - cannot complete write retry or data will be lost"
    I'm really getting sick of this phone because I'm paying alot more for it since i need to drive to the store and waste so much of my time. 
    As i said before my dad has the black version and has non of these problems and errors he's runs smoothly. 

    Look, if your phone’s a lemon take it back and demand replacement. If the store will only offer to fix it, contact Nokia (your phone is still under warranty) and see if they will replace it for you. If they offer to repair, accept the offer if you want to keep the phone (they will send you a UPS label for return, so you won’t have to drive to the store again). If you don’t, sell it and count your losses and move on. There are options for you if you wish to use them. Sometimes life isn’t simple. The people here that kindly offer tech support and help for all manner of problems do so as a kindness and willingness to help others. They are not employees of Nokia, just people like you and me. The only difference between them and you, to paraphrase John Lennon, is that to them there are no problems, only solutions. This is a support forum, not a mope forum. If, as you say, you came here with absolutely no desire to receive help from forum members, but merely to gripe, then I would suggest you find a place more suitable to unload your angst and self-pity.

  • Nokia N97 - No Text Message Notification and a Few...

    I love my nokia n97, but i'm rapidly falling out of love with it, i have owned it since the end of august and this is the first time i have really hit a major problem with it.
    The main problem being is, that the phone no longer gives me a text message notification or noise in that it being on the home screen it does say "1 new message" and i have to constantly have my inbox open to see when i have a new message and constantly check it all the time, for a person who is texting constantly this is probably one of the most annoying problems. If it makes any odds its using the mass memory.
    I called the support line and have tried the following:
    - Upgraded the firmware (no effect)
    - Hard reset the phone (without the backed up data on it, the text message notification works, after placing data back on it, problem comes along again)
    - Cleared cache (no different)
    - Hard reset the phone and restored data on phone without the settings (this has worked for a while, less than a day, and is now playing up again)
    Along with a few other problems that have started which i am confused whether it is the actual application or my phone that is the issue with this:
    Facebook - No longer works proberly, freezes regulary, excessively slow at loading any content up.
    AccuWeather - Can never find my location through gps and sometimes unable to load data for a pre-set location.
    -At points through the day i do get error messages too that don't really make much sense, "cannot retrieve data" "error" and "internal error, reset phone"
    Also when hard resetting the phone the second time round, originally built in applications disappeared so i had to re-download them through Ovi Store again.
    Other problems include phone basically freezing regulary mainly on startup, and start up time being long before it lets me push a button, and loading content for the homescreen, the 3 widgets and the speed-dail take excessively longer than they use tooo.
    My phone is suppose to be getting 'repaired' within 48 hours, is this true? I got told by a friend that his took 2 weeks+.
    Or a replacement and how does this work and who is responsible for giving me a replacement. (Nokia, t-mobile, mobilephonesdirect?)
    Could all these problems be linked back to a faulty sim card?
    What on earth has happened to my phone, is this fixable, isit a software bug that cannot be sorted, why has this happened, why now, i have never run into any problems before?
    Is there something in the data, i can't think of anything, if so what?
    This problem started totally randomly?
    Isit somesort of weird memory issue?
    If i was to get a new phone, will i not run into the same problem again, what happens if i do? Do they keep replacing it or fixing it all the time?
    Sorry for a long post, hope someone here can help......

    N97 is going back in again today for them to confirm it is un-repairable and then they are going to send me out a new one.
    The guy said it was a software issue which was caused by t-mobile putting their own software on the phone, which is absolutely stupid, if operator's software is going to cause a phone to malfunction, then don't let it on!!!

  • Do The New Nokia N97's Have The Latest Firmware Ru...

    Do the new nokia n97's have the latest firmware running on them (V20) or do i have to upgrade it after it arrives?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That depends how long it has been since the phone left the factory? It is possible that some retailers have a stock that is very big, so that the phones that they sell right now have a firmware that is a few months old...
    Where are you planning buying the phone? 
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.
    The day we stop improving is the day we stop being good.

  • Please help! Nokia N97 Email and Message Settings ...

    I got the Nokia N97 in July on Contract with 02, and it appears its missing quite a few settings but most important are the email settings in the Retreival section.
    The only settings its shows me are "Headers Only" i cant seem to retreive anymore than that. I have been looking online and it appears that others who have this phone have the complete settings in Retreival but I dont.
    I desperately need to get the full settings is someone able to help me with how i go about resolving this?
    Many thanks in advance

    yes for native email client off the phone the headers only option is normal. you download a full message upon selection of a particular header. i dont recall it behaving differently at least on my n97. nokia messaging the stand alone app that you can download behaves different and its actually a pretty good app as long as you don't have to pay for it. in some countries you have to pay for it and it has a major downfall, it only stores data on the c memory/phone memory and that is not really an option for me.

  • Quickly I want a help with my nokia n97 mini at th...

    hello my nokia n97 mini freezes when i turn on my phone when the nokia screen appear usually at the beginning it freezes why? and How i can solve this problem i need a help now please

    I understand you correct if it stops booting before you reach the homescreen?
    Do you have a memorycard? - You should pull that out and make sure that the memory card isn't causing the issue?
    Could it be any apps you have installed?
    What FW are you on?
    There are lots of things you can do to try to sort this out.
    What I would do is to get it updated if possible, if you cannot or are on the latest one and have no clue, do a soft reset and a format of the memorycard and mass storage and rebuild the phone. First with your contacts, messages, music etc, and then with apps. Monitor carefaully how the phone behaves after 3rd party apps you install. - In that way you will have better chances of knowing what may cause problems in the future, and there wont likely be necessary to soft or hard reset it again.
    Note that you will have to back up your content before you perform a soft or hard reset as this will wipe your phone memory, same with a format of the memorycard or the mass storage.
    If you cannot get the phone on at all, try removing the battery for at least 5 min before putting it back together and try turning it on. - You could also try removing the memcard if you have one.
    Do you know how to check for fw updates?
