Just unable to update
Hii folks , everytime i tried to update the software it says aroung 103 MB needs to be downloaded and by around 10-15 mb it says the phone (e71) nneds to be directly connected through the usb cable to the computer and not through a hub. However i have only, directly connected it ... well is there a possiblity to download the file seperately to the computer instead of doing an online update ??? this shud make life a whole lot better when u dont have a high speed internet....

Can't Update!
Trying to update my E71, but after the update starts, the phone switches of (blank screen) and then switches on again. A few minutes later, it says that the contact with the phone has been lost and can't proceed blah blah blah. Has anyone come across this? How do I fix it???

No new firmware for me (110.07.127)
I updated to the previous firmware more than a month ago, and I now have firmware v110.07.127 and the Nokia Software Updater does not propose to update to the newer v200.21.118 release. It offers me to reinstall v110.07.127 if I wish to do so.
Did Nokia pull this firmware update or is there a stale server somewhere ?

Firstly, you find me a basic theme, which is something I always like - clear simplicity, but one that has psuedo-original S60 ICONS.... you are my friend, quite frankly, a genius - I have been after something like this since day one. Thank you.
Bizarre.
But for me, a BRILLIANT find - so thanks, and thanks again Delta!

You're welcome. I also hate the standard icons, so this theme is great (first time I've used a custom theme.... ever. And I've used smartphones since 2002)

@fyrestrtr...
Another two users elsewhere also say they 'already' get the solid white screen on the contacts list, rather than a theme based colouring in keeping with the rest of the theme.
They too also do not say what the actual VERSION or REGION of firmware they are running is either.
Because clearly, you might have already realised for yourself, I can hardly say "it now does 'this'..." unless the previous firmware never did that for me.
So the clue is already in the question - for SURE, previous firmware versions, before I updated, did NOT do this for me.
And my firmware path, just for clarity, was T-Mobile original firmware version, whatever that was, out of the box. I do not remember any white contacts list with this one, but it never stayed on that firmware very long, so cannot say for sure. As I then quickly changed the Product Code, and flashed with the European generic firmware, version 110 or whatever.
That is what I ran it for for a month, and I can confirm absolutely, that it did NOT suffer the white contacts list issue the new firmware does. I repeat that as a FACTUAL statement so there is no room for doubt.
So perhaps YOURS is an old, or region based firmware, for another user to ALSO say his was a white contacts list without updating. Maybe yours is OLD. Who can say, but my facts are still facts.
As for it being a big issue, and people telling me it is know such thing. Then let me repeat here, what I said elsewhere, very simply...
You say it is nothing to get concerned about. Mmm. Ok, let me put it like this, if suddenly Nokia rolled a new firmware out for every single Symbian phone they do, and all of a sudden, on every single model, the Contacts List screen no longer adhered to adopted formats and conventions, and was suddenly solid white irrespective of the theme used, despite all the very hard work of all those talented designers, it would instantly be a MASSIVE issue, with hundreds of thousands of complaints.
So... if it is wrong if it applied to ALL models hypothetically, how come it is RIGHT when only applied to one model. No... no it is not. Not at all.
As for using the red letters to indicate the post... if this flaw, and the key-lock flaw, and the camera sounds issue, are potential reasons to hold off from updating the firmware for other users, then it is wholly and entirely correct, to flag this up in a manner that will not go missed.
I trust that more than covers all the relevant issues...

First of all, I have never seen the contact list in anything other than a white background, in all the standard themes on the device (I don't use custom themes).
I have the following themes on my device:
Grey Steel
Black Business
Black Personal
Dark
Light
Red Business
Red Personal
White Steel
All of these have a white background to the contacts screen (what you get when you do a short press of the contact button on the device). It has always been this way and I can't remember any theme changing the background of the contacts app - which is a good thing since contacts are important to be clearly visible on a business device.
I don't think its something to get overly excited about and type in giant red letters.

The Noble Gray theme keeps the gray in phonebook!

OK. Done my update now, all quite smooth and restored from the memory card with only a few programs needing reinstalling. Taken about 2 hours all in and all seems well.

BUT... even MORE strange, but beneficial - I am seriously starting to think there is a real issue here, because you are correct again, THIS theme, does indeed somehow allow for a coloured background on the Contacts List - the horrible plain white with Black Text, does NOT affect this theme. It's not perfect, as it looks from the search bar at the bottom as if a bit colour might be missed, but it IS far and away the best solution thus far to this new White Contact List screen issue.
It then opens up a huge new can of worms though, in that it beggars the question, why is it suddenly with the new firmware, 98% of all themes that used to work fine, now show a Solid White background for the contacts list, whilst a tiny few other themes CAN and do still show colour?
Bizarre.
But for me, a BRILLIANT find - so thanks, and thanks again Delta!
@ unregsitered - yes, I can confirm people that this firmware update also introduces another flaw... The camera does indeed now still make sounds when set to silent - two in fact, one for focusing, and then one for the shutter. So bad step back, for the sake of 'privacy issues' as Nokia will claim.

Firmware Nokia E71 - Camera sound
After having update E71 with the new firmware it is no longer possible to suppress any noise of the camera. What a backstep!

Had the same problem with mine, but when you run software update again it fixes itself. I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't restart after installing the new software updater.
Anyway, firmware upgrade went well for me. Backup was restored okay and only lost a handful of my programs (but we know that's the program makers fault, right?)
