Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

Maybe You have a Hardware problem and not a software problem. Go to a Nokia Service.

Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

Hey.. It seems like your phone was not properly upgraded. Here follow these steps:

1. Back up all your data.
2. Format your HDD
3. Now update your phone again using the latest updater (V1.1.30)
4. Now before you put back your data install the sms accelerator from http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4158100
5. Now put back all your data.

It should work fine now.

MAYBE U WANNA TRY INSTALLING THE SMS ACCELERATOR FIRST AND SEE IF IT SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.

Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

hey thanks for the reply.. i actually did 3, *, green, while still switching phone on and it formatted my phone (not hdd) and now it works fine (note: didn't format firmware, it's still 2.00xxx), works flawlessly so far

FYI folks.. you probably want to format the phone after a firmware update

Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

Not Really drazoyu,

Firmware update formats the phone, you must use the 3 button technique only in worst case, it is like formatting a PC with WinXP using dos prompt.

YOU MUST NOT FORMAT THE PHONE AGAIN AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE. YOU CAN, THOUGH FORMAT THE HDD.

In any case, I am glad that your phone is working fine now.

I would, however, recommend that you keep an eye for the 2.10.xxx version.. it really has put a lot of problems to their places.

Re: N91 freezing even worse after update..

HI,

Try installing the sms accel from http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4158100

This should solve your problem

Also, seeing you are still running the 2.00 version, no harm is using the software updater from http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/softwareupdate

and updating your phone to the latest version

Cheers
