Yes there is, but that would mean taking it to a nokia center. If alls fine, then theres no need to update firmware, flashing is for those that are problematic, (does not boot). Though you might want to try the video recorder with sound if yours doesnt have sound when you record. Search the forum.

yeah i have sound...but i was just wondering if there is another software in order to improve the quality when u view real time pic or when u record a vid...so nothin like that? thnx

If you search the forum you'll come across ETI Camcorder, phillips camcorder and those stuffs. Just do a query using those keywords or "video app". :icon14:

My 4th nokia 3650 arrived last week and it reports the following firmware info:

V 3.16 05-20-2003 NHL-8

Everything including video & sound is working ok. So far the phone has run for 6 days without turning off. T-Mobile also sent me a different battery so now I have 2 Batteries. If it works ok and the turn off problem has gone away then I probably won't do anything except leave well enough alone.

Then again, why dyu have to pay for something if theres no problem in your phone. 🙄 But its a personal paranoia, err i mean preference. Alls up to you. 😉

If you could then good, but then again, if i were nokia i wouldnt flash your phone if its not broken, cause from what ive read in many threads flashing is almost always a last resort for f@cked up phones. 😃 🙄 Its worth a try, then post the result so people would know.

That's good to remember. I second this and even though I have the older

FIRMWARE: V 3.16 05-20-2003 NHL-8 this 4th replacement phone
has gone 11 days without turning itself off which is a record for
me. No way will I touch anything!!!

Or put it again to a test so u can have the true meaning of a smartphone. If it breaks, then its not meant for you since that phone should function the same way as other 36xx phones, not just sit in your pocket and wait for calls. 🙄
