clive6630 It's NSU, the latest one installs new connectivity drivers which dont work with NSS, you need to uninstall NSU and cable drivers from your machine and install an older version of NSU. But dont run it. Do the product code change with nss then run NSU, it'll update to the lastest one but your phone is already updated to the new product code. Update as normal. You can find older versions of nsu by searching on the internet.

NSS won't scan

I'm trying to do the update and NSS won't scan...

It finds the phone, but when I click "Scan" under the actions menu it says "Scan for product... Error" in the status bar. When I click "Scan" again it just says "Scan for product..." and does nothing.

I just noticed... under "Device Info" the last entry is ->Products Dir('products').......Not Found. Any way to solve this?

Any ideas what's wrong? Is it possible to write the new code without scanning?

Cheers.

E90 firmware update

I have two E90's and both have been updated with the latest firmware and the result is that the battery life has plummeted from two to three days between charges to daily charges! Anybody else experienced this at all?

Be careful!

I updated from 7.24.03 to 7.40.1.2 by changing my product code from 0553342
to 0545991.

Worked fine and everything seemed to be alot faster until I came to use the internal keypad. A number of the qwerty keys (q/a/z/w) were transposed and the number keys were all different characters (needed to hold shift-1 to get the number 1)

Having read this thread I have now updated succesfully using the product code 0533332 (my phone was a UK O2 [unlocked] mocha version)

Did have me worried for a while and looking for the number of my nearest NSC!

Given that this is generic - unlocked - non carrier branded and UK .... I can't understand why I'm still not able to find a Firmware version later than 7.24.03.

Do you any ideas what is going on ?

Also Anovo claim that this device was manufactured on 4 December 2007. Is it possible to identify the build date ? I ask ... because it seems like it still has an earphone hiss and it also has the same screen I always had - not the 'hardened anti-reflective' one I had been told was on new devices.

Very strange. I'm also guessing that it was made much earlier than that. Best to take it up with the supplier etc. There's certainly no way a device that recent should have been 'built' with early firmware.

slitchfield 7.38 wasn't mainstream - which region are you in? Yes, I guess it's possible that this had A-GPS, but most people only had the choice of 7.24 or 7.40.

I wonder when the next update will appear?

A-gps

To Steve and others,

Are you sure that firmware version 7.40 was the first firmware released to add A-GPS? I'm asking because I have firmvare version 07.38.0.2, and I get a fix using GPS in just a few seconds as well... No complaints here

Unlike my previous 6110 Navigator which took forever to lock on to the satellites...

Other than that, it depends what your priorities are. Don't update if you want Blackberry connect (there doesn't appear to be any support for it). Update if you will make heavy use the internal GPS or any of the other fixes.

My signature is indeed updated and I'm going to use the wifi a lot, and the gps aswell but not so much. I also read that is was 20% faster so thats intresting aswell, its always a big risk upgrading your phone but I did it 3x times so far with other phones (N70, E61 twice) and that went smoothly

Cross fingers, I'm starting it almost now...

UPDATE:
Did the firmware upgrade and it went just fine except that it said that it was disconnected when 2min remaining and on the Nokia was displayed " Test Mode" Nokia but I did what the updater told me (to remove battery and start up again), I did and then clicked retry and then it went smoothly till update succesful.
So now I have the latest firmware :-)
Restored the backup now and it ok
have to update my signature ASAP ;-)

Liquid_Li0n I read that a lot of updates fail or that the update is not for all product codes.
Would you take the risk to update it already or would it be better to wait some more weeks and to update then, because I don't like to start the product code etc. How about the warranty and so on then?

blackberry client is tied to firmware version...

... and very sadly... theres no bb client actually for the latest firmware.
its a very very ugly situation nokia/bb throws there customers in because a firmware downgrade isnt possible anymore. hopefully they release a new client for the e90.

BB 4.0 issues

same here! I lost my BB service since the firmware update. Apparently its something to do with BB client software being tied to FW. Looks like Nokia got itself into another tangle.

... meanwhile, waiting for someone at RIM/Nokia to come up with a fix...

Update killed BBC

Is it just me, or will BlackBerry Connect no loner work after the update? This messes up my life!

Any way to fix it? Just get an X through the symbol at the top, no matter what I did, have reinstalled a bunch of times.
