The N95 8GB hits v31.0.015

[slitchfield]

The Nokia N95 8GB has now had its v31 firmware update, too. This went live a few minutes ago for unbranded phones. Any changes will be noted below the break after I've updated. Watch this space.

Read on in the full article.

Does this also mean that a new firmware update for the N82 is in the works as well? Lets hope so...

The only difference I noticed with the recent upgrade on my N95 classic (non 8gb) was that I've now stopped getting a memory full error after every 3-4 days, which was introduced when I upgraded to v30.0.015.

Though it still flashes the side buttons when the screen goes into sleep (how hard can this be to fix?!)

Can anybody report on the speed improvements to the browser? The browser was pretty fine when it debuted many moons ago but it just hasn't been keeping up with other browsers. It's too slow. I use Opera mini (a java app!) as my main browser, only using the nokia browser for flash based sites.

Those who like their phones hacked for extra customization options beware: the new firmware is unhackable. List of hackable/unhackable firmware versions: symbianism.blogspot.com/2008/11/which-nokia-symbian-phones-can-be.html

...and of course, I'll be the requisite Yank who points out that his North American variant is *still* stuck at v20.2.x.

@namtastic - right here with you. My N95-3 is looking pretty long in the tooth

@slitchfield-props to you for(finally) mentioning/listing the "hackable" status too.

i updated mine at 3am gmt this morning
i have'nt spotted any changes but i did'nt play with it long after updating

Ah, at last they have fixed the annoying zoom-bug in the browser. If you changed zoom level to 50% and opened a new site, it dropped back to 100%. Now it stays in the 50%
Also seems that the browser does not crash so often.

I had hoped they get rid off the 10% steps in the volume control. How hard can that be to implement 1% steps? I never ever get the volume level I want so I switch it off again. Imagine the volume control of your TV would only have 9 different volume levels - wouldn't that be fun?

Which is a bummer... but would rather have a fully baked update than a rushed one.

i have v31 on my phone. i cant hack this version. i wish i never do the update

Hi, I went on to nokia site. downloaded nokia pc suite and then nokia upgrade software thing. when it went through it came up with your phone is upto date and dosnt require any further updates. my version is v30.0.08. how do i get the new version. please help. also my camera stopped working after getting this v30.0.0.8. went to nokia care. they said reinstall it. it will work. i did that and its still the same. will this v31 fix this camera. thanks.
