Hi Everyone,
For those of you who have a Nokia N96 and your provider has not made more
recent Firmware updates available to you, I have good news.
I searched for updates yesterday and was allowed to download and install
Firmware Update 30.033. This fixed a number of issues which I previously
had with the phone.
1. Daisy2Go now works fine on the phone. With the previous firmware, an
error would result when the application was launched, however, now, books
can be added to the bookshelf without problem and played.
2. The Radio now works a lot better. Previously, there would be long
breaks of silence when listening to radio stations and I thought it was
just the reception area I was in at the time. Now, listening to the radio
is clear and continuous.
3. This firmware automatically locks the phone's keypad when the slide is
closed, avoiding buttons being accidentally pressed and Talks informs the
user of this. Of course, if you want to use the keypad when the phone is
closed, you can flick the small Keypad Lock button at the top of the phone
to release the buttons for use.
4. You can now choose to answer the phone or end a call by opening the
slide or closing it respectively.
There may be other benefits from the new Firmware which I have not
discovered yet, however, I am much happier now with the phone in general.
If you wish to check for updates, please do the following from your phone
-
1. Select the Menu (Talks key twice).
2. Arrow down to Tools and select it.
3. Arrow down to Utilities and select it.
4. Arrow down to Device Manager and select it.
5. Talks now reads the current version of your firmware to you and,
presuming that your phone can connect to the internet, you can press the
left Option key to initiate a Search for Updates.
6. If you get an entry back which says that a Software update is
available, press the left Option key to accept it and to commence the
download. My phone was originally with O2, but I'm now using a Virgin SIM
in it.
7. Talks will recommend that you back up the phone before applying the
update. I took a chance and did not do this myself and, thankfully, the
update proceeded without a hitch. You may wish to back up your phone
first.
8. The process does take some minutes to complete, during which time the
phone is re-started. If you have Talks 4.0, you should be able to check
the progress of the download (Talks reads this every 5 seconds or so). If
your screen saver comes up and you don't hear anything for a while, just
tap the Talks key.
9. When you acknowledge that the phone is going to restart, there will be
a number of minutes of silence and then, when the phone is restarted,
Talks will speak as normal.
10. I had previously uninstalled Daisy2Go, when it was not working for me.
I re-installed this after the Firmware update and all worked well.
I do hope that this works for you. I did not have to get my phone unlocked
or rebranded. It was just a case of waiting until the latest Firmware
Update was made available.
Many Thanks, With Kind Regards,
Charles Nicol
