11.018 to 12.043 update

Hi,

I've attempted to OTA update but it kept telling me no update is available (even though it said that there was a new version?! 0

So, I opted to do it via NSU...so far it's been saying "Estimated time left: 2 minutes" for almost an hour.

The phone has rebooted several times and for the last 45mins it's been displaying 12.043 Test mode Nokia.

Anyone got any advice?

cheers

Lol, I spent 5 hours on the phone to them before I spoke to anybody who knew what they were talking about. He said that V10 was so unstable they were forced to do the update to V11 as soon as they could.
Unfortunately he also said they have no intention of doinf the update to V12 any time soon, and it not in any means a priority of theirs.
I took the phone to a nokia care point and got the vadafone branded software removed and the official nokia software and latest update installed.

This has invalidated my warranty, but that the last of my worries. Atleast I have a usable phone now. Well nearly.......The bluetooth streaming has improved no end but still needs more tweaking as there is a still a jump but only once a minute instead of once every 10 seconds.
Still a bit annoying though as it was one of the main reasons I bought the phone, along with the storage space.

nixxnuxx I have same problem with battery on v12.. wont reach 24h.
Theres a way to revert firmware.. but i dont even wont to know how. if something bad happends PUFF..
I just wait for next firmware.

But not all people have this problem, if some of you feel fine with your firmware as is, dont update.. we cannot be "beta testers" for Nokia software..

Poor Battery performance after firmware update

Before firmware update battery would last about 3 days with normal usage. Since updating the firmware it lasts less than 24hrs with less usage than previously. Checked to see if any programs are still running in the background but nothing shows up. Tried to backup to original firmware but can't any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bluetooth Streaming

Battery drain update

Strange thing: my phone drained yesterday in less than 6hours with almost no use. It then went into power saving mode & froze up. I had to remove the battery to get it working again.

Then, after a full charge, it lasted almost 24hours with very heavy use - downloaded about 60mb via wireless, installed a couple of apps, sms's & calls.

Very happy, of course. Hope it stays this way!

@slitchfield: any idea why Nokia Conversations is incompatible with fp2?

Which Product Code?

Which is your product code? Mine itīs stuck on firmware version 10.065... :(

slitchfield @ouq77:
Definitely something third party at fault here then. Our v12 N96 just goes for ages on a charge now. Very impressive what Nokia has squeezed from this battery....

Battery drain

Tried the OTA update, which didn't work - kept rebooting, but not installing. Then updated via the conventional method. My battery suddenly drain ultra fast. Bit disappointing. It drained over night (6hours) from full to two bars, with no use, blue tooth & Wlan scanning off. :-(

n96 text messaging

Does the n96 still take nearly half a minute to load a write new text message screen? or has this firmware update fixed that?
