The Nokia N80 "Software Update"

When i was chosing my new nokia phone i was quite amazed by all the Nokia N80's feature which are all amazing by the way. But i had the phone for about 3months when the screen just suddenly went blank. The reason for the was a so called " software update " that has to be done. The phone was claerly on as all the sounds and options was working. I just want to know will this happen again? When, how long, and exactly why does this happen. It was sent in to nokia Johannesburg SA where i was told i have to wait 4-6 weeks for the return of my cellphone. Please this is really making me want to go back to samsung. The N80 was treated normally as is required.

On the contrary it could be the firmware as the older firmware for the n80 was quite unstable it seems that v4 firmware works well try to upgrade to that version if the problem continues then you know its the phone

When is the next NOKIA N80 software update coming?

hope the next n80 software update comes soon, with support for voip,improvements for camera,& certain bug fixes.Message Edited by rishabhsin on 11-Feb-2007

N80s, even with the latest firmware are bug ridden and reboot themselves from time to time. Nokia know about the bugs because they have fixed some of them in the N80IE firmware. I have no idea why they can't get their act together and release the fixed firmware for the N80 owners.. It's IDENTICAL hardware. Many people are "voiding their warranty" and converting N80 to N80IE versions. This is because Nokia will not sort it out "officially".

Is the Nokia Suite Software Update Broken?

How come I don't see any updates when I plug in my phone via USB but I see some updates when I visit the Ovi Store with my phone? I have a 808 Pureview. E.g. I currently have Nokia Public Transit (or Transport?) 2.0.1. Viewing the Ovi Store shows me that Public Transit 2.1 is available via Ovi Store but not through Software Update? The same was true when I had Maps 3.0.8 initially and Software Update didn't show Maps 3.0.9, etc.

Not quite sure why it isn't showing up with updates to notify you of. Unfortunately, there is no other way to look for them. Kudos to you for knowing other places to look for it, so you've got it covered. If you've updated all the major apps, then you should be fine. I know that on my N8 i've had app updates but the Store only notified me when I went into the app from my app purchase history

I So Want The Nokia N80 - Any Updates On Release D...

Hi all.
I have been looking around the different networks websites, and Vodafone seems to be the only network that has the N80 coming soon, April 2006.
I am currently on Orange and thinking of jumping ship just to get this phone sooner rather than later.
Does anyone know if it is definitely going to be released in April, and is there a firm release date in mind.
Also, how much software branding do you think will be used, Orange is rubbish with their sotware branding, making the phones almost unusable. How much branding is on the N70, this seems to be the closest to the N80, and does it affect it in any way.
I ask all this because I will need to time it right for getting my PAC number from Orange if I decide to change networks.
Many thanks for your help.

Orange say they should be getting the N80 early April - but it all depends on when Nokia release it - which will probably be the same with other networks. I've been having a bad problem with the N70s and I'm hoping Orange will exchange it for a N80 whrn they eventually come out. It's not in their 'coming soon' list on the orange site, but I have spoken to one or two managers at customer support.
I've had my N70 debranded in an effort to sort out the bluetooth problem but have not really noticed a great deal of difference - apart from the layout is a bit different, but I don't use all the features on the handset anyway.

N80 dies in the middle of Software update

I just started the process of software update.
After it identified the phone, and downloaded the large 70 something MB of update, it started the actual update of the phone... when I got an error that the phone can not be updated. I tried a few time...nothing.
the screen that was blank...styed blank.... and now I am unable to restart the phone...
Any ideas.
My phone has the 4.0 firmware installed.
and I think it is a HongKong variant.

The nokia FAQ for europe states the following:
15. Will the warranty be void if I update my phone software using Nokia Software Updater?
No, it will not.
and
38. My phone "died" during an update, what should I do?
Take the phone to your nearest Nokia service center. If the phone is within its warranty period, Nokia will repair the phone under the usual warranty terms and conditions. If the phone is not within its warranty period, Nokia is not liable for any loss as defined within the End-User Software Agreement.
I do not know if this is the same for USA, but it would be crazy if it isn't. I think it's really weird a phone bought in another country cannot be repaired it the USA..after all, it's still a nokia. So they have to give you the service for it.
btw: I've flashed my phone to death too last friday :'(.
She's on her way to get repaired now (takes about 3 weeks)...they couldn't fix it directly at the NSC.Message Edited by distel on 05-Nov-2006

Nokia 808 software update

my 808 pureview showing software update of 16mb...but it cant be installed neither by phone nor through nokia suite...

Hi, mahiji.
Sorry to hear that you're having an issue updating the device's software. Can you tell us more about what happens when you try to update the phone? Is there any error message when doing the update via the Nokia Suite or via over the air? When you update the device's software by phone, did you use the in-device Software Update app? If yes, can your try to update the phone the other way by dialling the *#0000# > Options (3 lines) > Check for updates?
In addition to that, please consider below steps on how you can prepare for an update:
It is recommended that you create a backup before doing a software update using Nokia Suite.
When updating with the Software Update app, the size of an update package can be several megabytes, and therefore it is recommended that you use a Wi-Fi connection.
Check that your phone is set to the correct date and time. With a wrong date or time, your phone won’t be able to access the updates.
Before starting the update, make sure your phone has enough battery power. If the battery level is low, charge the battery before starting the update.
Make enough space on your phone for the update. If necessary, remove some apps or other large items.
Let us know how it will go.

Nokia N900 software update to V10.2010.19-1

hi,
I am trying to update my Nokia N900 OS version to V10.2010.19-1. My current version is 3.2010.02.8 and I am trying to update the software version to 10.2010.19-1 using Nokia software updater tool.The tool is able to recognise my device when connected via USB in PC Suite mode and it determines the available version as3.2010.02.8 in the mean time time it says the available version is also 3.2010.02.8 and it says my phone is upto date. I am wondering what to do and how can i upgrade my software. I am trying to to the update from Sweden. Could someone help how can i update my phone to new version.
Solved!

For some reason NSU is absolutely useless for the N900, as is the Nokia "Can I Update?" page.
Your best bet would be to grab a PC and update using Maemo Flasher, by following one of the many tutorials on here or over on Maemo.org: Firmware Update Wiki.

And need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

HT4623 My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later. If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

You can't access iCloud from your iPhone unless you're on iOS 5 or later. Otherwise, refer to this article:

HT4623 MyiPhone 3GS on setting general does not have the place for software update adn I need to update to iOS5.1

My iphone 3GS does not have in General the place for software update and for some my apps it request that I do iOS5.1 but I cannot do it tell me how

The OTA update capability was not introduced until iOS 5. You will need to connect the device to the computer and iTunes and update it as you did in the past.Once you have updated, you will have the ability to do OTA updates in the future.
