This should make a lot of N95 users happy, Nokia realy haven't forgotten about them. With Demand Paging im sure 29mb of ram isn't bad at all! 
Phone: Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Silver
Tablet: Apple iPad Pro 11” Space Grey
Previously owned SEs: W800,W900,W880,K850 & Xperia X10 |

Just update my firmware. Here are the observation:-
- Free RAM is 29Mb on boot. Boot time is MUCH faster.
- FIRST time Camera startup no different BUT the next time you use the cam, it is much faster at startup 1-2sec. Think the cam app stays RAM. In between shots time have also improved a lot.
- Gallery is much faster. Stutter is gone. Like cam, Gallery app stays in RAM so the next time you use it startup is much faster.
- Menu and phone generally faster. Starting app is noticeably snappier.
- You can now open web/music/gallery/camera together with no problems.
- Some new icons for folder.
- Include new Search on standby
I am very impressed with this update. Seems like Nokia do look after its customers. N95 is already out for nearly a year and yet we are given this new firmware which includes so much improvement (unlike SE  which abandoned P990 users a few months after the p990 was released). I was thinking of upgrading to N95 8G but now I see no need to as this new firmware brings it to the N95 8G level of usability and performance.
I suggest to all existing N95 users to upgrade to this firmware. Some advice before upgrading.
- Backup/Sync your PIMS to Outlook.
- Create a phone memory backup to memory card.
- Keep your memory card in the phone as after the upgrade, the phone will scan for apps installed in memory card. This save you the need to reinstall these apps.
- Upgrade your phone. It is safe to restore this backup. I have NO problem at all. Note: PIM may not be restored (mine did not!!!). That's why the sync to Outlook is important otherwise you may lose your PIM data. Most of "commercial" apps installed to phone memory can be restored by the backup. Java apps cannot be restored.

Well lets be honest it is only the truth isn't it? and raising a point that even the great Ares mentions how come if Nokia can do this with an updated phone already out. Why can't SE ease the pain of there long suffering UIQ3 users instead of abandoning them all within a year?
This besides the fact SE currently has no announced or related devices that i want is why i no longer hold SE in high regard their customer support service and general attitude towards there users just sucks big time.
I also think it deserves mentioning this update as it virtually illuminates all the unresolved complaints about the original and makes buying one now at today's prices extremely good value don't you?

@Masseur and all,
But the point is as the technology became available to do it they did it, and this isn't the first firmware either it has continued to be improved. It's just this one really makes a huge difference and resolves some issues that Symbian 9.1 caused.
Just what did SE do besides having to be forced to even give one last firmware to fix two new bugs the previous firmware introduced whilst wanting to abandon their users. Hm i think the answer to that is nothing isn't it well besides abandoned them of course. much the same way as SE sold and continued to sell a product that wasn't anything close to what they promised. At least when Nokia know there is a real problem they stop selling the device until it is fixed as in the E90.
I used to support Ericsson and then SE harder and stronger then virtually anyone of this Forum much of it at my own cost. But that was when they were worthy of it now well sadly it's a very different company and scenario and i wouldn't give anyone from SE the time of day. Until they can prove they have changed which currently they are proving the opposite of, really so sad for a company that had such a great business ethic and quality of product.

with respect, I think most of us know your views now, so may I suggest that we don't get into all that SE vs Nokia here yet again in this thread but instead return to topic to discuss just the N95 firmware update please
as it happens, my son updated his last night and got V20. Will try it again tonight

Don't take this post as an agrue or something...
But, few (I assume this figure to be 2-4) months after P990 was released???? I think the software updates kept coming for around 10 months... And the N95 ain't any older than this???
Note: I didn't say anything positive about SE or negative about Nokia... Just what I know.... Am I wrong??? |
