Software update n96

my phone is so slow. E.g when i get an sms and select read it takes upto 10 secs to display it. I'm on s/w version 10.065 and with the 3 network. 3 have told me there are no updates available. I can't believe this is the case. I waited months for this phone to come out. The speed/resonpse issues are not even half of my problems.

It is true that it's a known, now solved issue but the waiting on nokia part is laughable but also typical.
The only way to get the 3 rubbish off is to request a debrand. Getting 3 to agree to this is next to impossible, almost as impossible as speaking to someone there that will know about it.
The procedure involves you paying 3 to unlock your phone and for a letter to say that you are allowed to debrand.
Once unlocked you can take the letter to a nokia care point and they can install generic nokia firmware for you. You will have to pay as it's not a warranty issue.
But the chances of getting 3 to understand or agree are slim to none.
Any other debranding methods that you may read about elsewhere will void the warranty and cannot be discussed here.

  • N96 fails to restart after software update

    Hello,
    If just hat my N96 software updated and now he resist to restart, he doesn't give any signal at all just "Phone start-up failed.Contact the retailer". What's wrong with it? My N96 has never worked properly, my N95 was better but also not that good as I asspected.

    Hi troy1011
    It might be worth looking at Paragraph 45 in FAQ for Nokia Software Updater here for using "Three finger reset" although it may be worth leaving battery out for 10 minutes first:http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq45
    Failing that it's a trip to a Nokia Care Point unfortunately.

    I hope there is no problem with your phone camera.
    Try to install firmware again. If problem ia still there, back up important data to using your computer or within your phone to the memory card and goto Nokia Care in your city for repairs and software update or reinstall.

  • Versioning error in Nokia Software Updater (for N9...

    I have a Nokia N95 as follows:
    Network: T-Mobile, UK
    Product code: 0547686
    V11.0.026
    17-04-07
    RM-159
    Nokia N95 (43.01)
    The Nokia web site says 12.0.013 is the latest available firmware for product code 0547686. However, Nokia Software Updater says that my current firmware (11.0.26) is the latest available version. Is this inconsistency an error in the Nokia web site or an error in the Nokia Software Updater? If it's an error in the updater, is there any way forward to get the update?
    I hope the firmware itself undergoes more rigorous quality checks than this update process. It appears Nokia would benefit from advice/consultancy on consistency techniques, eg why have the availability advisor and the software updater driving from different underlying data?!...

    i fink nokia might be uploading the firmware give it a day if not den der summat strange going on

  • Map loader/ software updater problems

    I have had my N95 for about 2 weeks and have spent hours trying to get gps to work. I have just been following someones instructions on another thread but fell at the first hurdle. Nokia recommends that I install Nokia maps up date prior to installing map loader, then map loader recommends I download and install nokia sofware updater. Problem there is I get an error message half way through saying minimum requirement is 256mb memory. I have loads of memory so I don't understand why this is happening.
    Can anyone help? You will need to keep it simple!!

    Hi,
    But the problem is in RAM memory of Your PC not in this on Your Hard Disk Drive (59,95GB). This memory is mounted on motherboard of your PC. Check inner configuration. Control panel - system. If it's lower then 256MB, you have to buy another block of RAM. And how big is your SD card. Besides nokia map loader doesn't work now. See the topics below yours. Some problem with software update version 20. Maybe if you didn't updated older v.12 soft. it should go.

  • Nokia Software Updater

    Just wondering if anyone knew why I cannot get Nokia Software Updater to work?
    I loaded it on my pc to get an update for my n95 a while back and now I have received a text message telling me there are new updates for my phone.
    So I started Updater to download these new updates only for it to tell me that it needed updating itself!
    So it downloaded this new update and now it will not work. All it does is tell me critical software componants are missing and to reload the software, which I do to no avail.
    Any help will gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi,
    check this site http://europe.nokia.com/A4577224.
    BTW what a SW version do you have now. *#0000#
    It is possible too, if you have a branded simlocked phone, that your network operator may not have yet approved the latest Nokia FW available. In this case call your operator service and ask, when they'll launch last software.

  • HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all

    Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X".  Can I uninstall the update?

    !! WARNING !!
    about the September 2012
    "Security Update 2012-004"
    If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
    MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
    **BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
    Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
    Been through it all, already.  In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
    So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
    I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
    Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
    So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation.  So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD??  Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
    My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
    If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT.  DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE !  Instead, download the actual update file itself.
    Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
    AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
    First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
    #2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
    And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
    3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
    Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
    Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
    THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
    Reboot.
    After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
    And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
    Happy Mac'in!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • How can I see up AppStore/Software Updates for multiple computers using the same account?

    I have several computers in my household which all use the same App Store account for purchases & software updates. How can I view all those installs while not being in front of all computers?
    Recently an iMac crashed from a software update. I want to see what installed & crashed it.

    Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
    To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
    Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
    Then redownload Lion.

  • Error message with Software Update

    Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
    "None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    This is for the following downloads:
    iPhoto 7.1.4

    iMovie 7.1.4
    Security Update 2008-005
    Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi baltwo.
    I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
    After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
    "You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

  • Since installing new software update, my iphone 4S no longer is recognized by itunes

    I installed the new software update to my Windows PC and my iphone and now my iphone 4s is no longer recognized by itunes and I cannot sync.  I already attempted unintalling itunes and reinstalling it - it didn't work.

    Hello KatieJean123,
    It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Update iTunes
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version and its associated softwares:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Or
