Thank goodness nokia have released this update!!! Have just changed my product code via NSS and am updating as we speak. Goodbye horrible operator customisation! Hello VoiP

I've just checked my V 10.0.018 N95. (Carphone Warehouse, unbranded)

NSU reports "no new software available"

Perhaps mine has no bugs

Just updated by changing my product code to euro 1 from voda uk. All seemed fine until i backed up from memory card. Phone forced restart then got the dreaded "Startup failed. Contact the retailer" message.

Fortunately I restored the phone by using the method below:
Press and hold 3 keys; Green dial key, * Star key, no. 3 key on keypad and then press the power on/off to switch on the Nokia N95.
Remember, do not let go the 3 press and hold keys until you see the formatting screen.
After a few minutes when the process is over, your Nokia N95 will be back to life.

I have no operator customisation and no other problems yet, apart from i can't backup my old data from the memory card. Also my main reason for updating as my handset wasn't allowing me to enter the unlock code that vodafone had sent me. It was saying "Not allowed" Vodafone had told me the only to reset the sim unlock facility was to flash the handset. Isn't that what I have just done? Anyway VoiP is here and not a vodafone logo in sight.

Any ideas as to why it still said " Not allowed" ????

Can you tell us the differences?
Maybe the battery lasts longer or what are the things that you noticed after the update.

Does anybody have a link to the Firmware changes from the standard one to this new one.
I can't find anything on google.

My N95 is on T-Mobile (UK). It's running v10.0.018 with product code 0546659.

Is the update just for Vodaphone?

the only way for it to recognize the update is to change your product code to one of the generic ones by using NSS. I changed from voda uk to euro 1 (plum) by using the code from a thread (stickied) in this forum

For what it's worth, my N95 is unbranded and SIM-free. The update was shown immediately by NSU but it took three tries to 'work'. The previous two I'd been doing other things on the PC - it seems that while it's flashing the device it's best not to rely on Windows' multi-tasking actually working! 8-)

No obvious changes that I can see though. Camera pictures are still over-enhanced, RAM doesn't seem dramatically better - come on Symbian-Freak, we NEED that changelog asap!

Cannot find the update. My product code is 0549001. How do I change the product code. Mine is a sim free generic phone bought in India.

Just unbranded my Orange N95 with no worries (changed product code with NSS). Did a full backup, some of my apps wouldn't restore (Opera Mini & Scenetone).

No fixes for many of my issues with the N95 (too long to post here) but:
a) the media menu doesn't take an eon to appear
b) seems less prone to locking up under spotty wifi reception
c) so far, haven't got the infamous "toggle 'loudspeaker' to activate internal mic on incoming call" bug, but only time will tell

Orange specific:
a) haven't tested the VOIP functionality yet but it seems to be present (can't wait)!
b) so happy the cursed Orange Photography app has gone

Worked for me:
Backup phone on memory card
Changed Voda code to Euro1
Updated Firmware
Changed Euro1 code to Voda
Restored phone from memory card
Changed Code back to Euro1

Didnt work for me.. where is the N95 in the nokia service updater site? anyone link me?

[Liquid_Li0n]

exactly, its even so new, it isn't on the nokia site yet it seems :s

Just go to the Nokia support site. I am in Thailand and on the Nokia web site Asia Pacific link no upgrade shows up in the list. However, I chose N73, so I could get to the next page where the link to download the Nokia Software Updater program is. Then I connected my N95, and right away I got message that upgrade was available. I have an unlocked phone and free sim, and after having backed up and re-installed to the mem card, all is fine and works like before. Just did this a couple of hours ago, so I have not noticed specific enhancements (or bugs).

Forgot to mention that my version was V 10.0.018, and now it is V 11.0.026
