The N95 8GB hits v31.0.015

23 replies · 9,528 views · Started 20 January 2009

The Nokia N95 8GB has now had its v31 firmware update, too. This went live a few minutes ago for unbranded phones. Any changes will be noted below the break after I've updated. Watch this space.

Read on in the full article.

Does this also mean that a new firmware update for the N82 is in the works as well? Lets hope so...

The only difference I noticed with the recent upgrade on my N95 classic (non 8gb) was that I've now stopped getting a memory full error after every 3-4 days, which was introduced when I upgraded to v30.0.015.

Though it still flashes the side buttons when the screen goes into sleep (how hard can this be to fix?!)

Can anybody report on the speed improvements to the browser? The browser was pretty fine when it debuted many moons ago but it just hasn't been keeping up with other browsers. It's too slow. I use Opera mini (a java app!) as my main browser, only using the nokia browser for flash based sites.

Those who like their phones hacked for extra customization options beware: the new firmware is unhackable. List of hackable/unhackable firmware versions: symbianism.blogspot.com/2008/11/which-nokia-symbian-phones-can-be.html

...and of course, I'll be the requisite Yank who points out that his North American variant is *still* stuck at v20.2.x.

i updated mine at 3am gmt this morning
i have'nt spotted any changes but i did'nt play with it long after updating

Ah, at last they have fixed the annoying zoom-bug in the browser. If you changed zoom level to 50% and opened a new site, it dropped back to 100%. Now it stays in the 50% 😊
Also seems that the browser does not crash so often.

I had hoped they get rid off the 10% steps in the volume control. How hard can that be to implement 1% steps? I never ever get the volume level I want so I switch it off again. Imagine the volume control of your TV would only have 9 different volume levels - wouldn't that be fun?

Which is a bummer... but would rather have a fully baked update than a rushed one.

Can someone please clarify what it means to have hacked your N95? I have many unsigned apps on my phone, but have not hacked the OS.

i recently updated my n95-4 to the v31 is a major improvement, now gallery works the way it was supposed to, and pretty much all the phone works faster but there is a major problem and for what i had read i am not the only one with the issue the web browser does not work or it freezes when you are using it.

I have the same problem. It's really frustrating. I've noticed the problem is not the web browser, the application freezes when you use it with wifi connection because it runs smoothly when I use it with 3g. The same problem happens with fring, that's when I realized the problem is the wifi connection.

Add me to the list with the same problem. How do I go about down grading my firmware?

Mine freezes too, but it freezes everytime I use wifi connection.😡

I may have found the problem. I disabled all security on my wifi router and the problems went away (at least for now). Give this a try and see if anything improves. I was using WPA2 Personal with AES on my Linksys WRT56G with firmware V1.02.2

I should add that this is with firmware V31.0.008 14-04-09 on a N95-4 RM-421 that is a non-carrier handset (no branding and never locked).

I have the same problem with wifi on my newly updated n95 8gb. Is there any fix, or otherwise any way to downgrade?
