The N95 8GB gets v30 too!
Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:38 UTC, September 8th 2008
v30 firmware is now online in Nokia Software Update for the N95 8GB too. This follows the update for the N95 classic on Friday. Changelog below. The usual caveats about backing up/syncing and insuring your house apply. Contents may settle in transit, and so forth....

hey guys, not going to be updating till later today or tomorrow, however I saw on another forum that people were reporting issues with the N95-1 V30 firmware. Saying that there was a bug with the camera, plus other 'old' issues returning...
Anyone who has updated as well as posting any fixes/enhancements can you mention any issues you have found please?
Cheers :)

Insure your house, indeed. What gets me wound up is that each time a firmware upgrade is done, half the apps dissapear or don't work afterwards -- even using the back-up service in PC Suite.
Kind of puts me off doing it.

Just as a warning to N-Gage users.
N-gage doesn't cope well with firmware updates. For me N-Gage didn't work after the usual post-firmware restores. It wouldn't install anything.
It still didn't work when I reset everything (wiping internal and mass memory). Games install did not work.
In the end I re-installed the N-gage client which seemed to work OK (but rather defeats the point of having it in firmware).
Of course your mileage may vary. See - http://arena.n-gage.com/nokia/board/...hread.id=16824
At the very least you need to re-install all your games - not good at all. Handsets with UDP should be OK though.

For what it's worth, N-Gage worked OK here, in that the client's ok and retrieving keys for games already bought worked too.

In my situation the handset would not restore from backup, it went through the motions but could not reboot, forcing me to do a systems reset (* 3 green button) whilst powering on.
slitchfield
As ever, restoring from a full backup is always a bit dangerous, since you're mixing system files from different OS versions. So worth a try, but I usually find that 30 mins re-syncing data and reinstalling apps produces something much cleaner and more likely to work.

Does this firmware disable the VoIP as reported for other Nokia phones?

If you installed apps direct to your handset, how do you store them on your PC to restore manually once the firmware update is done? Thanks.

Hope N82 gets an update too!

Does this upgrade work for vodafone branded phones or is it just for the lucky ones with sim free or unbranded firmware?

After the last update (note: with NO Content Copier restore), my N95 8GB stopped saving passwords in the web browser, easily one of my most-used features... so hopefully they've fixed that bug. I'm not holding my breath, tho'.

I'm still not seeing the classic N95 update on my Software Updater, it insists the latest version is 2. Does it only appear country by country or something?
I'm in Finland btw, and using the SIM-free version.

Since the N95-1 and the N95 8gb both got updates, any sign of an update for the N95-3 as well?

Updated 2 days ago, here you go:
- no change in battery consumption (on a daily heavy usage)
- several restarts while sending first SMS, installing Opera Mini (in a low signal envir), Talkonaut;
- flash 3 is still very buggy;
- real player drops frames and freezes in MP4;
- some (pizero's) themes are not stable anymore (i.e. Quasar theme keeps unloading while entering Nokia Chat);

Just updated this morning.
Does anyone else notice faster and stronger GPS pickups? Mine have gone from about 5 minutes to 30 seconds. This could be due to me sorting out A-GPS but I think it's the new firmware...

What does it take to get this updater? I just unboxed our new, unlocked N95 8GB (RM-421) and it insists 20.2.005 is the newest FW ver.
I am in the US, and the box seems to claim it's the US/Canadian version, but not attached to a carrier in any way. The wife won it at a MobileWidgetCampAustin this weekend. Straight from the Nokia guys to us.
I'd like to do the software update BEFORE I install anything, so if it's gonna be just a few days or a week, I'll wait for it instead of having to backup and restore.
