Updated N95 Firmware

I finally got round to updating my firmware to the latest one hoping it would stop my N95 from restarting every time but sadly it hasnt.
It has definally speeded up and I thought i'd cracked it untill I started filming something and it restarted, it then restared whilst using wi-fi and then while playing the new ngage game that was installed. It has restarted 5 times since 4 hours ago when I updated.
Was that my last hope of sorting out the phone?

Updating N95 Firmware! Some important questions

My N95 is currently running on V20.0.013. A major improvement in update were found in V20.0.015. Now a days the latest firmware is V21.0.016.
Q1. If I update my N95 to 21.0.016, then would I get all the improved features of V20.0.015 as well or should I update my N95 step wise, i.e., first to 20.0.015 and then 21.0.016 to have all improvements. In V20.0.015, there were improvements in menu structure.
Q2. I have pre-installed multi language dictionary on microSD card provided in the sale package. If I update my N95 to V21.0.016, would this dictionary still work or I have to re-install it again?
Q3. Is there any problems which anyone encountered after updating N95 to V21.0.016? Any draw backs of this latest V21.0.016 software?
I totally depend upon you technical guys, and always get satisfied with the nice cooperation of this forum members. I hope you'll guide me this time as well.
Regards to all

Hi erehman,
Some answers to you here.
A1. A new firmware will always wipe out everything in the phone memory. Absolutely no need to update first to 20.0.015. Go straight to 21.0.016.
But the previous firmware to 20.0.15 was 13.0.003.
A2. After an update of a firmware you need to reinstall everything. The memory card, though, is not affected and you do not even have to keep it in.
A3. There may be some problems or odd functions, but all together the 21 firmware is better than the 20 firmware.

Can't update N95 firmware as USB connection isn't ...

I'm currently trying to update the firmware on my N95. I have installed the latest version and even reinstalled the latest version of the USB cable driver.
But although PC Suite sees and communicates with the phone via the USB cable (Bluetooth is switched off as a connection method), the Nokia Software Updater keeps failing to detect the phone.
I have tried it with and without PC Suite running, I have tried it on different USB ports, I have tried plugging in the cable before the detection process and during it...but it will not detect the phone.
Everything else about the phone seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas?

uninstall the PC Suites & Nokia Connectivity driver. and then download the PC Suite Cleanup from Nokia site. Install & run it.
Reboot computer & re-install the current PC Suites, wait until prompted to to connect whatever you have chosen(Cable or blue tooth, whatever). Download the latest software updater!
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

Updating N95 firmware

i have an N95 and when i try and update the firmware, it says i have the current update of 10.2.006. can anyone help as to why this is so and can the update be done manually?

http://www.nowwearetalking.com.au/discussions/all-discussions/telstras-transformation?p=166#eff8d22a...
I have a Nokia N95-3 purchased 6 months ago through Telstra & connected on the NextG network. I'm very happy with both the product & service, but I have a concern. The software version for my N95 is 10.2.06 from the 22/08/2007. Nokia announced its fourth software upgrade for the N95 since then last month- v30.0.015- but this & previous updates are not available to users of the N95-3 branded/locked by Telstra. A month earlier, there was some chatter on other Australian Telecommunications forums that Telstra might finally be releasing the prior v20.x software for its customer's branded/locked N95s after some final revisions & testing. There has been more chatter since by some of those customers attempting to check the progress of this with both Nokia Australia & Telstra, and few answers forthcoming (apart from some advice to apparently "Ask Sol" which I'll take with a grain of salt. I can appreciate that both Telstra & Nokia share the responsibility for the availability of these updates to Telstra users of their products- however, perhaps Telstra would do well to make more easily accessible the status of its testing & the advice of availability (or reasons for their non-availability) of these updates & others offered by manufacturers of mobile devices branded/locked to its network. As you already have forums for the iPhone & Blackberry products on this site, it would seem a small matter to create a few more for the other device manufacturers, in which the Team Leaders or Managers overseeing such projects at Telstra could communicate progress & field questions from customers. To my mind, this would be in keeping of Telstra's Customer.Focus in it's goals for Transformation. If I may speak on other's behalf, we would appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thanks for your time!
nowwearetalking editor: Hi David, thanks for your comment. We are looking into this. Cheers
Obviously I'm not holding my breath, but a few more posts there supporting the idea might prove productive.....?

Is it really vital to update N95 Firmware? Come up...

Is it really important to update N95 all the time to the latest firmware version?
What have those gained who updated to latest version, and what have those lost who are using the previous versions.
Is it really worth considering to update N95 while taking into account all the risks of phone turning into brick during process, non-functionality of all the previously installed 3rd Party software, and many more complications?
Does the new software really bring about dramatic changes to the N95 stability, start-up timings of the Java applications, improved menu structure, battery life etc. The presence of Flash Lite 3 may not be the key factor in updating N95.
What are the main plus points for N95 users to update their phones and
what are the main negative points that they should not go to update.
Please take part to discuss your good/ bad experiences in this regard in order to make other N95 users clear as to what should be done.
Regards
Ejaz

I used NSU to get 21.0.016 and I am happy I did it. The biggest improvement was with the WLAN connection, the old fw often failed to find my hidden home network, new fw has never missed it.
Previously the browser couldn't load webpages that were more than about 1.5mb and often crashed with multiple windows open, but now the browser works just fine with 4mb pages and multiple windows.
The only 3rd party sw that I had paid for was a game (Medal of Honor - what a waste of money that was) and that still works, but I did lose some of the free apps I had installed.
So yes, if you use the browser a lot over wlan than I'd say it's vital.
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Problems updating N95 firmware - v11 to v20 (vodaf...

Hi,
I have N95 on Vodafone UK, currently running software version 11.0.0.026. and a windows vista sp1 laptop.
I often use software updater to check if any new versions for my n95. To my delight, version 20 has just been released for my region! So I tried to run the update.
It downloaded from the net ok, then started the install on the phone.
But then, I got an error message saying a Nokia element has stopped responding.
The software updater still looks as if its running ok tho, except the progress bar is stuck on about 5% and estimated time remains on 15 minutes. I even left it for about 40 minutes, but still no change.
I tried a couple of times but with same result.
Luckily, once unplugged and battery removed and replaced, the phone started up as normal.
Any ideas why it keeps crashing, or a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Ed

I had exactly the same problem as well.
The first time it happened, I assumed I'd 'bricked' my phone but it seemed to come back to life so I thought great.
The second time I attempted the upgrade, the same thing happened but instead of disconnecting. I closed down the updater using task manager then ran it again.... it immediately detected the phone then asked me if i wanted to re-install the software. I said yes and it worked fine.
It is a strange bug though. I am glad it's not just me it happened too.

N95 Firmware Update

Hi all,
Just updated my n95 firmware last night to the latest v20.0.015.
Everything seems fine now, no random restarts, the phone is faster than ever and taking pictures and viewing the gallery is great now!
The only thing that's gone wrong is the slide for the Media Buttons no longer activates the media player nav screen.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Cheers
T

ahh thank you for the quick response!
I guess I'll just have to hit the button for the media player app!
Cheers again!

Risk involved in N95 Firmware update

I want to update my N95 firmware but at the same am frightened that if my internet disconnects during update process, then what would happen. Is there any risk for my N95 if such thing happens. If the update is not complete and my internet didconnects, then would my N95 work properly?
Is there any way I can download the latest firmare to my PC and then update N95 from PC via cable?

Do not attempt the update if you use dial-up internet. You need broadband.
I've read that a lot of people have had phone failures when using dial up.
If you don't have broadband or a stable connection then visit a care point/service centre and ask them to do it. It's free while the phone is under warranty.

NOKIA means:Night Of King In Alone

listen n95 users who updated their firmware to v21.
when i learned yesterday that v21 was out, i didnt wait another second to get the new firmware. like most of you guys would do. i made a back up of my files first and then downloaded the freshly brought out upgrade.
the flash 3 support was cool and the web runtime. the phone seemed to work faster too.
but the next 2 thing ill tell you is something what i would call very saddening about this upgrade.
1. the camera flash lights doesnt work anymore. even if you set it on force flash
2. today ( 2nd day of v21 in possession) my phone stopped working and the screen went all black. i thought my phone crashed so i did what i usually do when it happens. i pulled the battery out for about 3 mins but the screen remained black. fyi, a phone that's turned off shows a blank screen. i put it back, same story. my phone is dead and i couldnt turn it on anymore. i immediately drive by the nearest nokia point center and ask if they could fix it. i had to leave my phone there for inspection and reparation. that means i would be able to use it for a couple of days. and this is very tragic.
is there anyone there that encountered the same problem?
piece of advice to those who havent have theyre phone upgraded: wait a couple of days first, and listen to what those who downloaded v21 on their phone. v21 is what i call DOWNGRADE in this matter. im very disappointed with this new firmware....

Can N95 Firmware (21.0.016) Be Downloaded To PC

Is there anyway, we can download the latest firmware update of Nokia N95 using DAP or some other downloading software, to our PC, and then update our N95. In this way, the slow speed internet users like me, can first download the latest firmware to PC in one go or in multi-sessions, and then update N95 easily.
Thanks all

Hi erehman
I can well appreciate your situation when 115Mb of software needs to be downloaded but unfortunately although NSU caches download prior to installation, the operation cannot be deferred.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Updating N95 8GB..

i have updated my N95 8GB and it has wiped all my sim memory is there any way i can get this back?? i used to plug my phone into the computer however im sure it only took the photos off it.
any help appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

SIM Memory?
The handset does not lose data from the SIM card when you update it, I'm guessing that you don't have your contacts?
Did you use the Nokia Backup in Nokia PC Suite to back up before you updated the firmware? It does mention on the updater that the handset has potential to be wiped. You should always make at least one back up (generally I make three so that there is less risk of losing my data) before updating firmware on the handset.
I'm not sure with the N95 8Gb - I was under the impression that the 8Gb user memory is also not wiped in a Software update.
You can also check in the contacts application that you are using SIM memory not phone memory for contact details.

Simple instructions please to update N95

Can someone please give me some SIMPLE instructions how to update the firmware on an N95. I have gone round and round and round in circles on the website to no avail. I appeared to have accidentally downloaded an Updater (it suddenly popped up to be saved) and I have installed that. I then searched for hours for the actual firmware update itself to no avail. I kept ending up on what seems to be a 5 step set of instructions but nothing to say where the software file is.
Then I thought the Updater may be set up to find the file but all that produced when I installed it was the message "Cannot connect to NOL server" (whatever that is).
I cannot believe that I am so dumb that I cannot do what should be such as simple process. I tried to find something through the phone itself but that drew a blank too. Is there a file somewhere on the site to download that is the actual update? if not how do I do it?

Hi alches,
the process should be pretty simple - you have downloaded a pc program called Nokia Software Updater which then takes you through the actual update process. But there seems to be something wrong with the pc software you are using.
Can you let us know which version of the Nokia Software Updater you are using?
Did you just download it from a Nokia website or did you have it previously installed and the software just updated itself to a new version?
And which Nokia website did you download it from?
I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

Help Updating N95

Hi
I am trying to update my N95 firmware. I have installed Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater. Basically the Nokia PC Suite software works fine,connects to the phone via the USB cable and allows me to do all the applications. However when I launch the Nokia Software Updater it searches for the connected phone and then comes up with unable to detect phone. Have tried this many times and the same thing keeps happening. Anyone got any suggestions or ideas please?
Thanks
