hello i am wit 7650 in v3.12 and i know now ther is new one v.3.16 and i will lick to ask if you can tell me what is the differences and is the new one have hebrow....(israel)
thanxs

from what i read so far it is more stable ( not crashing as much ) + if gets too full will not lock up and not repower as a few ppl have found but on the downside uses 120KB of space to upgrade it !

Can't be authentic news. Coz' zooming feature is the hardware part not software.

[quote="Pichu"]i heard that ver. 3.16

support digital zoom

but dunno if this true[/quote]

[quote="Pichu"]Digital zoom so i think it may be possible but dunno[/quote]

CameraFX (good peice of software) does digital zoom.... As the name of the feature implies it is a software feature NOT hardware

4.14 did you say ???

Any idea if this is right ??

Can anybody confirm that a ver 4.14 is due out for the 7650 ?

Yes 4.14 is due out soon, when exactly, well only Nokia know. I imagine as long as it doesn't have too many bugs it will be in the next fe weeks.

Rafe, can you confirm any new stuff on 4.14 (I mean it is a major version change not just minor version .. ) Where did you hear about it any way ? Any websites.

I read about it on the uk.teleocm.mobile newsgroup a few days ago. There wasnt much info posted but apparantly:

1) It's pre-installed on handsets produced in the last few weeks.
2) These wont see the shop floors until current stocks run low. Nobody know exactly when that will be.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the jump from 3.xx to 4.xx as a sign that there has been a major overhaul of the O/S? (By major I dont mean any new features, just lots of little fixes and improvments.)

My major hope would be that the speakerphone problem is fixed and that the images for speed dial are held in a cache rather than retreived from the contacts. I'm nit picking with the last one though! 😉

Rafe, can you post the url of the artcle about the version 4.14 to us?

I am sure everyone is looking fwd on this.

i here it also yesderday from my NSC.
He is small,but the contact is very friendly,and he has a level 2 Status.
(I give my Infos about bugs to the Servicetechnic-guy,
and he gives back infos like this...)

The SW will be out in next 20Days,and there sould be some real bugfixes,
like the Memory-bug...

GreetZ and regards S�mi

I had email Nokia about the 4.14 firmware. Hopefully they will reply me soon and let me know if it true news. 😉

Ok guys.. i just got an replied from Nokia. They said from the newsgroup/forum is unsubstantiated.

This is the email sent to me

I read about it in various places. One of which was in reply to a question on a Nokia developer board - it was answered by Nokia and they said 4.14 was coming out very soon.

As for it significance well generally a big number change in firmware 3.xx --> 4.xx does indeed indicate some major change. In the case of the Nokia 9210 the 3 to 4 change represent the first really stable firmware release, much better memory management etc. In terms of new features we probably wont see much, it all be under to hood.

That said who knows. Nokia seem to be unusually secretive about this firmware release - perhaps we'll get bluetooth support for the headset profile. I doubt it though.

Hi, I'm new over here but I work for a Nokia service point. WE still have the 3.16 software, so the 4.14 software is not out yet

i'm on 3.16 with orange in uk so i hope that they allow the firware (when released) to be available for our phones. Just thinking of the Orange t68/i firmware upgrade fiasco

Well I don't know if these versions are "public", but version 4.23 is available internally in nokia. Personally I have 4.18 installed on my phone.

And what would you consider as being the main differences. I'm on a 3.12 firmware version. Thanks

Well, I can't say that there are any "revolutionary" changes (at least I haven't noticed any). Mostly bug/stability fixes.

Guest, I respect your privacy. But I am curious as to how you got this version installed. Anyway we can get it done too ?? (I would guess not).

By the way, any fix on the loud speaker ?? I would think twice if I couldnt get the loudspeaker to be loud again !!

Yep, you're right. You need special hardware which is not available publicly (just at service points and at some places within nokia).

😉 Hey guys... can i ask you something? to where i can find this software upgrade... do i need to pay for it? can i do it myself?

You can get the Firmware upgrade by going to your local Nokia Service centre.

If your phone is under warranty yes it is free.

And no you can't do it yourself.

as far as I can tell, the 4.x versions are development ones. When they are good enough for public release, it becomes a 3.x (then development continues in the 4.x)
