Updating N95 Firmware! Some important questions

3 replies · 2,645 views · Started 11 April 2008

My N95 is currently running on V20.0.013. A major improvement in update were found in V20.0.015. Now a days the latest firmware is V21.0.016.

Q1. If I update my N95 to 21.0.016, then would I get all the improved features of V20.0.015 as well or should I update my N95 step wise, i.e., first to 20.0.015 and then 21.0.016 to have all improvements. In V20.0.015, there were improvements in menu structure.

Q2. I have pre-installed multi language dictionary on microSD card provided in the sale package. If I update my N95 to V21.0.016, would this dictionary still work or I have to re-install it again?

Q3. Is there any problems which anyone encountered after updating N95 to V21.0.016? Any draw backs of this latest V21.0.016 software?

I totally depend upon you technical guys, and always get satisfied with the nice cooperation of this forum members. I hope you'll guide me this time as well.

v21 improves further on the features found in v20.x.x

You Cannot "step-wise" upgrade - you get the latest version for your product code.

The dictionary data will be fine the application will require reinstallation, ensure you have a copy of the app before you upgrade.

On the whole its a MUCH better version than v20.x I find the video works far better - bluetooth devices work much better too. Web browsing is better with FlashLite3 support.

Back-up your phone .. and upgrade .. ensure you have a copy of that dictionary application first.

Good Luck! 😊

Yeah the firmware doesn't upgrade the version that is on there, it replaces it. Thus, whatever version you install completely replaces what was there before.
