Rhys · 3 Jan 2008 at 11:57

EDIT - Flashed OK. As I had the phone for 3 hours I have not noticed any difference from previous firmware

Wow full flash is supported (I assume in the browser) - bloody brilliant!

Changes so far:

The likes of Gallery and Search are now both faster and also kept resident in memory (even after pressing 'Exit'), in the same was as Contacts, so that they're much more responsive when needed.
Speed of access to the integral 8GB flash memory disk has been improved.

Doing an 'Image store' from PC Suite only took 30 seconds to scan my device, rather than several minutes on v11 firmware.

Bugs have obviously been quoshed under the hood. In particular, the one that was stopping lots of third party themes working has gone - PiZero's New Gold, here I come 8-)

UPDATE: Flash Lite 3 and Flash video is now fully supported, I just watched native YouTube content - although emTube gives a better overall experience.

Nice, will update when I get home.

Had never heard of emTube so will probably install that as well

Christo · 3 Jan 2008 at 18:58

Why didn't you just do a backup of your n95 :confused:

I did a backup and it reinstalled almost all the apps, I didnt know it would, brilliant.

Do you mean Grid view of the menu icons ??

Christo · 3 Jan 2008 at 20:53

The right hand menu button - ie the 3d menu, not the standard grid one.

(It was only two days ago i notice that it can read out the contract name went they ring you)

Rhys · 3 Jan 2008 at 23:55

N95 8Gb runs S60 Feature Pack 2 right?

I wonder what the chances are of FP2 being released for the original N95 :rolleyes:

Hi, no its FP1 like the N95 so there is no reason why they wont update the N95 too. Then again they might want to make the N95 8Gb the flagship phone - dunno.

I take it that because my N95-8Gb has a proper product code, the generic Nokia firmware and hardly any apps on it (just 2), that i can just do a backup, update the firmware, restore from backup and everything will work hunky dorey right?

I ask because when i did it restoring from a 'VF Backup' to a generic one, it bricked the phone! lol.

Yep its fine if you backup from one generic fw to another I done it earlier

BoomAM · 5 Jan 2008 at 00:19

Well i took the plunge regardless.
Just hoping that when this restores finished doing, EVERYTHING is like it was before. Settings. Sounds. Menu Layouts, etc;
