meghatronic · 12 Jul 2007 at 13:48

My Orange firmwire is something like 10.0.018... why so old? It says no updates are available.

orange are very slow at getting new firmware out. that's why most of us changed are product codes and put the nokia firmware on

yep same with vodafone and i did as above changed product code now happy running v12

My nokia software isnt detecting the N95? PC suite see's it fine but the software updater does not detect it. Latest versions traight off nokia!
T-mobile phone.

EDIT: restart fixed it, im on 11.0.0.26. Whats this product code changing malarky? Might aswell get 12 on there before anything else, any links?

Will it get rid of the web'n'walk etc. settings?

uninstall the updater and the nokia software. reboot and install the newest ones from the web.

Everything worked no problem after that.

What 'branding' would one lose by changing product code?

you will lose your settings but as long as you have your sim in when it restarts the setup wiz should detect them and set it back up automatically. Either that or backup your phone first using the pc suite then restore it after the update.

Heh, other than that small detail nothing, right?

Have there been any big updates regarding the quality of video capture? I remember the launch one I played with was really laggy

I seriously wouldn't recommend anyone updating to version 12 firmware. It appears that nearly everyone is experiencing the missed key press bug. It is very very irritating, and you frequently misspell words, get PIN codes wrong etc, because it hasn't registered some of your key presses.

scooby555t · 13 Jul 2007 at 19:08

haven't had any probs with the v12 software and no key press bug eather

Scoobie Dave · 13 Jul 2007 at 20:26

Have to say its annoying i cant update to firmware v12 and im sim free too, im stuck on v11. Is anyone else having this trouble as well. If i remember correctly think its something to do with the phones serial number, feel free to correct me if im wrong here.

Some people don't have problems, but a lot of people do. Once you've updated the firmware, you can't go back, so you'd be stuck with a phone where the key presses don't always register. That's why I'm saying avoid the update for now otherwise you might be unlucky and find yourself with a phone that works properly 50% of the time.

Seriously, don't bother until you get word that the keying problem has been sorted. You'll be kicking yourself if you update to version 12 only to find you have this issue, as you cannot go back to version 11.

I updated my N95 yesterday - all I can say is wow. That AGPS is incredible - it takes an average of around 5-10 secs to get an lock on satellites, even when walking. It has really changed the phone - I am very very happy with it now.

Combined with MGmaps (google satellite with GPS) and improved camera the phone is now almost perfect! (Bar the battery life..of course)

Update your N95 asap!
