Updating N73 Firmware

Hi
I need advise and assistance on the following problem: I tried to update my firmware from my current V 3.0638.0.0.30 30-10-2006 RM 133 Nokia 73 (12)
After checking with the Nokia website on firmware availability, it indicated there was a latest firmware available, V3.0639.....
During the updating process, my pc suite would disconnect by itself several times and then connect again. Twice it was cut off and I had to go back to the vendor to have my phone reset.
Pls can anyone or Nokia pls advise why this happened and how can I overcome this problem, I really want to update my firmware as I had done before.
Many thanks.

Y can upgrade yr phone by Nokia Service Centre.
If y just want to upgrade yr phone then please turn off the firewall of yr pc-it does not let the Nokia Software Updater to work or block it.

If you bought your phone with this firmware version, you're in luck, 'cause it's newer than the firmware for most shipped phones of this type. Unfortunately, because of your phone being a CV (Country Version), there's still no update available through NSU. I'm not sure whether there IS an update available via the Nokia Service Centres; I have heard about people having obtained firmware newer than this via the Service Centres, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, your firmware version is NOT the newest available, but you'll strike lucky only when you visit an NSC at the time... Please be aware that Nokia does frequently release new firmware versions through NSU as well, so you might want to wait for this to happen for your variant.
Where did you BUY your phone (which country)? As things stand, the only way for you to upgrade now is to visit an NSC.

I went to check software availability and there's (no surprise) STILL no update for my phone. Come on it's almost half a year now. Everybody else is running on version 3.XX and im still stuck on version 2. This is ridiculous.
At the VERY LEAST some Nokia rep could tell me that they're working on the firmware and that it WILL come out EVENTUALLY. To put my suspicions of them not doing anything about it to rest.

N73 firmware update failure!

Hello,
I'm currently using firmware version 3.0704.1.0.1 and I'm like to update this firmware with the latest verison of firmware which is 4.x.xxx.x.x.x. I constantly get an error when I'm trying to install the latest version of firmware.
The message that I get is shown on this screenshot.

Keep in mind, that I have formated the Nokia N73 several times, but it simply doesn't work during the update. So I don't have any non-commercial software installed on it at all. Unless I got a virus or something.

N73 Firmware Update & Restore of Phonebook/Message...

Hey all,
I recently updated my N73 Firmware to 3.0704.1.0.1. As you know when upgrading it wipes the phone. When I restarted I restored my last backup from Nokias PC Suite to get names/numbers/messages transfered over again to the phone. Unfortunatly in doing this it seems to have removed some of the new firmware features (clock with 'am/pm' screensaver etc.). Do any of you know how to get this back? I've had a look in settings but can't see anything.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I've understood it's quite normal that the update prosedure may seem to stop even for some minutes and then go on again. The connection between the phone and computer will also break and then reconnect couple of times...
Are you sure, you did wait long enough before unplugging your phone (at least some minutes)?
But if your phone has the new firmware now and everything is working fine so I hope there is no problem!

N73 Firmware 4.0839 Contacts update no longer work...

Today I made a backup of the information on my N73 ME phone using nokia Backup.
After that I installed the N73 Firmware 4.0839.42.2.1 version.
The phone installed correctly and rebooted.
After that I put the backup back on the phone.
Everything seems to work, but the contacts are not restored back on the phone. All other software is.
Does anyone have the same experience?

no problem for me here. just updated it and restored my backups (including contacts)

Problems after N73 firmware update

I've had an N73 phone for some time and just recently updated the firmware, which has disabled all my games that are on the phone!! They are still on the memory card, but they will not open. ( Some games were formatted for other nokia models that had worked prior to update, and a few were actually for the correct model, but none work now- Help!

Hi, have you enabled Speed Dial after the reset?
The default setting after a reset is to have speed dial disabled.
If I remember correctly the setting is in "Settings" - "Phone" - "Call" - set "Speed dialling" to On.

N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?

Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
best regards
Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!

the difference in this new firmware..
- i see Music Player is renamed Mus. Plyr. .. weird, it's like they want to keep things short.. haha..
- and also, you cant rename your memory card longer than 5 letters ..
- the fonts are smaller, and you can see it's jagged...
- ram improved from last firmware ; i get 19mb every startup of my phone.. but the memory leakage still there..
- and also, this is new i think... but for normal n73, you wont have the music player automatically load each time you start your phone.. this feature only with n73me ..
- but the multimedia key is maintain as normal n73, which i like.. there you can customized the multimedia shortcuts and functions...
- last... no updates for flash player and nokia maps...

N73 firmware 4.0750.31.2.1 won't pair over Bluetoo...

It seems that the newest N73 firmware, 4.0750.31.2.1 has the same issue as the older firmware version. I just upgraded the firmware and tried to pair over bluetooth but it doesn't work.
Don't buy a N73 if you are using OS X 10.5

N73 Firmware upgrade nightmare

Looking for advice, learned ones -
I've had an N73 for 18 months, love the phone, not so crazy on the hanging issues and general speed of operations.
So on the weekend, decided to go with what I had read here and update to latest firmware, confident that would improve things.
Downloaded latest PC Suite and Software Updater. Performed backup to both PC Suite and 2Gb Mini SD card without a hitch.
Software updater ran successfully and took me from 2.0 something to 4.XXX. Phone rebooted successfully, all looked good, just needed to restore data.
That's where the nightmare began!
Went for restore from PC Suite, all seemed to go fine, got to the end where phone screen says "phone will restart". Nothing happened for a while, but the "OK" button was highlighted, so I clicked "OK" thinking it was waiting for permission. Phone went into restart, but only got as far as the Nokia hands screen before a blue-backed message appeared: “Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer”
Yikes, ok, not good. Came in here, looked around for advice on similar situations and tried hard reset etc. etc. No dice, always hanging at same point.
Husband kindly took it to Customer Care on Monday for me, they "fixed" it, but didn't restore data from my backup. So when he got home, we tried backup from SD card to phone. Exactly the same hang-up happened.
Husband has dutifully taken phone back in today, again they have "fixed" it but I asked this time that they perform a restore from backup at the Centre. Guess what? Yep, same issue. Their "advice": well, it was garbled, to be honest. First they tried telling me that there was no data on the SD card, then they switched the story to "there is something wrong with the data".
I would possibly believe that if the exact same thing hadn't happened during PC Suite restore. I have the .nbu file here. Any way to test it's integrity? Can I "read" the backup somehow on PC Suite?
Incredibly, I asked Nokia Care Centre to please prove it was a problem with the card and not the phone, by using my card in another Nokia phone. Their reply: they didn't have another Nokia phone to test that. Really? I have some older model Nokias spare lying around, but I don't think the data will be compatible.
About 300 contacts there that I really don't fancy rebuilding from scratch
Advice welcome, please.
I'm in Hong Kong, if that makes a difference.

Proud user of Nokias since 1994: Nokia 101, anyone?

At the risk of having a conversation with myself...
So much for the Hong Kong Nokia Care Centre! I *knew* that they were glossing over the problem yesterday, by insisting that the memory card and PC Suite backups must be corrupt, as the phone, in their opinion was fixed.
As it turns out, my husband also has an N73. And yesterday he decided to upgrade to an N95. So once we backed up his phone and copied his "stuff" across to the N95, I had a spare blank N73 to play with. And yep, my data backup restore from PC Suite went to his N73 just fine.
What to do now? Unfortunately husband's N73 is hammered and looking pretty shabby, whereas mine still looks good, so I actually would prefer to get mine working properly again. How to convince Nokia Customer Care that there must be something wrong with data transfer to my N73?
Or should I just give up and be glad I have my data back on a working phone (and believe me, I'm very glad about that!!)
Could it be something to do with firmware versions on the respective N73's? Mine is now running v4.0812.4.3.1 (21-3-2008). His is running v 2.0628.0.0.1 (10-7-2006). I'm not game to update the firmware on his, lest the whole thing start over again!
Opinions??

N73 Firmware

Can anybody help me,
I have an N73 on Vodafone and understand that I can have my firmware updated.
What are the benefits of this?
I have recently installed the sms accelerator and this made a huge difference to my phone, but will the firmware do more?
My version is V 2.0628.0.0.1 10-07-2006
If i do get the firmware updated, will i need to backup all my data before I take it to be updated? If so, does anyone know how to backup text messages to the memory card?

hi,
updating your firmware will make your phone more stable,thus work better.strongly recommended.
yes, you should back up your phone via PC suite before updating and yes you can back up sms on memory card:
go to messages>options>settings>other,set memory used as "memory card"
note:you don't have to take it to update, you can easily do it yourself, follow the steps in the "software" link above.(green bar)
