QUOTE(shumaky @ Oct 5 2006, 11:12 AM) Anyone tried updating their phone here..? http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,,00.ht.../softwareupdate QUOTE(jwai85 @ Oct 5 2006, 02:08 PM) can anyone answer these questions : I've just updated my phone firmware using the updater tool, but i got it from Nokia Asia... I guess it's the same as the nokia uk version above...1) Has anyone done diy firmware update with the nikia software??? 2)any dangers or things i have to keep in mind while using the software so tat i dont brick my phone?? Anyways, it was a pretty easy thing to do.... not as time consuming compared to the 2hr wait u gotta endure if upgrading at nokia's service centres... All i had to do was: 1. download the Nokia Software Updater program (15.9mb) 2. install the program 3. backup phone memory into memory card 4. connect phone via usb 5. update the firmware..... (The Nokia Software Updater would detect the phone model, and then download the latest firmware available... The firmware for nokia n80 is 72mb.. this took less than 15mins... and then it proceeded to install the firmware, which took about another 5-10mins) 6. restore phone memory from memory card to phone easy easy!!... haha... For jwai85's question #4, just read the Phone Update FAQ from nokia's support website carefully and follow the instructions given while updating the firmware... basically the most important thing to do is backup ur phone memory, and don't disconnect/switch off the phone while updating the firmware.... Its advisable that ur phone is fully charged before updating the firmware, but mine wasn't... heheh... still had about 5/6 bars so i just proceeded... updating the firmware consumed about 1 bar.... Now my phone's firmware is v4.0623.0.41 26-07-2006 rm-92 nokia n80 (11) It's only necessary to download the Nokia Software Updater once, so for future updates just connect the phone and the program will download the latest firmware.. |

QUOTE(Survivor @ Oct 5 2006, 07:52 AM) Firmware is your phone OS. Every new firmware fixed some bugs that you found on the older firmware and as a result when u update your firmware, you get a more bugs-free phone (not to say totally bugs-free). For example, older firmware has the problem of "out of memory" when you r browsing, and the new firmware fixed this problem and you will not have the "out of memory" issue anymore when you r browsing. Updating your original Nokia phone firmware at authorized Nokia Service Center will not void the warranty, and it is free of charge too if your phone is still under warranty. Hope this clear your mind ok thx  my waranthy still valid...how long does it take to update firmware? |

Survivor, chinese character thru SMS is a YES coz in new messages got that option "Language"

The RM40 exclude your travel time to Nokia SC + petrol + parking.  eh, any N80 owner upgrade the battery to higher capacity?
