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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Some important questions on MDM functionality

    Hello All,
    I have some basic/imp questions to be understood on MDM 7.1 for a data consolidation project.
    1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
    2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
    3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
    4)  The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
    5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
    6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference  use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
    Thx and appreciate for responding to these and also please let me know if any additional articles around MDM which are very popular and must see for a MDM consultant.
    -Mike

    1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
    Thats a known issue in MDM 5.5 but i am not sure about the current 7.1 SP08 release it might by fixed too, MDM Import manager does not support some special characters,only solution is to identify those records which has special characters in excel and exclude them from the load, may by unmapping the field which has special characters and load the other fields data using the map. and then login to Data manager and copy the text to the corresponding record  manually.
    2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
    We can not create a repository from an archive with out main table data automatically. you need to clean the main table manually or by using an import map we can delete the data.
    Check the below link for deleting data from a main table through import manager:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0245870-0adf-2b10-46a8-ca9dcf8e1a4d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
    Click on workflows tab in data manager and you can find in which workflow the record is and check the history by right clicking on the record. if you have rights to stop the workflow do that , or else login with the workflow owner and stop the workflow so that record will come out of the workflow and will be able to be delete that record.
    4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
    Importing 100K data in one shot is not a good idea, and the system will go in infinte loop. you need to split the source files in to multiple chunks. chunk size in your system will be set in MDS.INI file, talk to your MDM Basis guy he will help you in getting details of those..
    5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
    Let us know which kind of consolidation project you are working in, Tricks will be based on the particular requirement
    6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
    Again for this question it will be based on the requirements... i am sure you will be able to find blogs how to use hierarchies,taxanomies and family tables but not the client names...
    Hope i answered your questions.
    regards

  • New to Editing and Have Some Important Questions

    Greetings All,
    I would consider myself a new editor - only because I feel I have so much to learn. Currently I edit for a local television show that broadcast on a cable network - I have been using makeshift solutions to get the job done - but would like to move into being a total professional.
    Currently I have - Final Cut Studio 2 (will be upgrading to the new release in approx. 2 weeks) - 8 Core Mac Pro (upgraded video card & and extra ram)
    - 23 inch Display (will purchase an additional 30" HD Display in approx. 2 weeks) -Mac Book Pro
    -Adobe After Effects
    I know that I need some sort of deck that can be used to put the tapes in and log and capture into final cut pro - (currently I rec. the footage on dvd and use MPEG to import the footage into Final Cut) - any recommendations on the type of deck I should get - something affordable that is universal that can be used with many types of tapes. Also I have been told that I may need a broadcast monitor - I've also been told that if I get the 30" HD display that I won't need a broadcast monitor- thoughts on this please? As a side not I have a 32 inch 720p flat screen Samsung television could this be used as a monitor? I've heard some discussion about Konika video capture card - after researching I'm still not sure I understand exactly what it's purpose is? Please help - is this something that I will need? What am I missing in my workflow? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated - thanks

    only because I feel I have so much to learn<</div>
    Including where to post. This here's the LiveType forum.
    You don't need one deck, you need a deck specific to every kind of tape you have to use. You probably only need a DVCAM deck. If you need Beta you already know that. If you don't know that, you need to start with a basic video production class at a college or high school. That's not a service we provide here in these forums.
    The 30" Apple Cinema is way more screen than you need for FCP. Save your money and just get another 23".
    Konica does not make capture cards. You may be thinking of Kona, easily researched.
    You may or may not need a broadcast monitor. What you need is the firm knowledge and experience to make that decision on your own.
    My suggestion is to look up a video expert in your market area and prepare your management to pay them for their expertise as a consultant. Your post indicates you have way too much to learn. You can do it in books and in many hours of online research but you're going to spend more time and money doing that than you would simply by hiring someone to do the easy parts for you.

  • 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.

  • Some important question about JPA!!!

    Hi there, I have a web application written in Java 1.4
    I want to move this to Java 1.5 using JPA but after review old code I've got some stuck:
    1. This application have a function that get Lists from a table:
    Collection getList(String className, string tableName)
    That do follwing tasks:
    Get set of properties from class schema (by className)
    Get record set from table
    Each row of record set do:
    - Create object and set properties value from column that named the same name of property.
    - Add object to collection
    Return collection
    As my knowledge, in JPA, each entity class schema is mapped with a table schema. So, this function can't migrate. But in my application case, there are about 50 tables, mapping entities to each table is not good idea. Is there another solution?
    2. In database design, a table have composite PKs that merge from many part, each part is a property of entity too, for example table User have column User_ID = Agency_ID + Deparment_ID + SeqNum. How I can map Agency and Department properties of User entity to the table User?
    Please help me, thanks
    Thank you.

    Hi uvnet,
    I think the old code can run in java 1.5 with a minor change but the problem is I want take advantage of using 1.5 especially JPA (big change :D ).
    Anyway, the sample code would be:
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Collection;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.Map;
    import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
    import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils;
    public class DAO {
         public Collection getList(String className, String tableName, int encoding) {
              Object objDescriber = null;          
              ResultSet rs = null;
              Map map = null;
              Iterator properties = null;
              ArrayList<Object> returnValue = new ArrayList<Object>();
              try {
                   objDescriber = (Object)Class.forName(className).newInstance();
                   try {
                        map = BeanUtils.describe(objDescriber);
                        properties = map.keySet().iterator();
                        //Get ResultSet from Table
                        rs = getResultSet(tableName);
                        while (rs.next()) {
                             while (properties.hasNext()) {
                                  String name = (String) properties.next();
                                  String typeName = PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(objDescriber, name).getName();
                                  //Get value from current row and column name of ResultSet
                                  Object value = getValue(rs, name, encoding);
                                  try {
                                       Object obj = (Object)Class.forName(className).newInstance();
                                       PropertyUtils.setProperty(obj, typeName, value);
                                       returnValue.add(obj);
                                  catch (Exception ex) {
                   catch (Exception ex) {
              catch (Exception ex) {
              return returnValue;

  • Some import questions

    hey all
    so i am trying out imovie 08.
    did a little video/export to FCxml file/ cannot import file into FCE but can drag it in, video had to be rendered.
    So-tried exporting from IM to QT/dvdvpro50/ imported into FCE and had to render both audio and video
    So-tried exporting from IM again to QT/only this time dvpro and imported to FCE and only the audio had to be rendered but the video was all screwed up, like half frames only showed up.
    then tried exporting as mp4 and that all had to be rendered.
    just wondering if anyone knows the correct export from IM08 that would work in FCE without any rendering?
    thx

    Hi j
    I don't think that there are any direct method. iMovie and FCE/P uses a very
    different kind of way (guess it's called codec - but it is at least stored differently).
    So I would go with Your first way and render both video and audio.
    alt. If You have iMovie 1 to 6 You might try to export back to Camera (miniDV-tape)
    and import this one then You don't need to render.
    If iMovie'08 - forget it - it can't export back to Camera or deliver live out
    via FireWire any more.
    Yours Bengt W

  • MEGA180 Important Questions

    I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
    1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
    2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
    3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sly

    Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
    1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
    2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
    3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
    It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
    Hope this helped a bit.

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

  • 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

    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.
