Nokia N80 Firmware Version 4.0623.0.41

Ok.

I have just had my N80 phone updated to the latest version.

Version is 4.0623.0.41
26-07-2006
RM-92.

The only things currently that ive noticed is that the phone seems more stable and now You no longer get the lines under the signal bar

(The lines told you is GPRS is Ava)

Now when you connect to GPRS / Photo Messaging, the lines then appear, once you have finished with the gprs service they go of.

It still tell you if you are in 3G coverage by dispaying 3G in Bold under the signal strength.

Oh i also got F-Secure Mobile Anti Virus installed on the phone too.

When i got the phone back I only had 24mb to play with on the phone, However i have deleted loads of rubbish Like Search features from the phone and now have 34mb left.

If any one wanys to know any thing let me know.

The phone is a UK non Branded and sim Free.

The phone was updated at my Local Service Center and took just over a hour.

Great Service too.

The Guys also tested my battery out and said that they have had a few people commenting on the poor batteries with the phone.

So im going to see how the battery performs with this firmware.

Re: Nokia N80 Firmware Version 4.0623.0.41

Regarding The bluetooth, I never really had many problems with it before, However I'm currenlty Charging the battery at the moment for the first time after the phone has been updated. I let the phone go flat naturaly.

I will then use the phone and let you know.

The only thing that i have noticed is that the phone is no faster, to be honest it seems slightly slower in some cases.

It hasnt crashed yet, but then i havnt really been using the internet at the moment.

The firmware is curenlty out for Unbranded Nokias and 02.

Any thing else, please ask.

I flashed my N80 with this firmware nearly three days ago, and mostly my phone appears unchanged except for one thing, it now works perfectly with my 2gig samsung mini sd card, where as before it kept corrupting and not accepting it.

My phone is O2 branded.

Hi DarrenGF,

I noticed that at 617, N80 gets erratic after using a Java based application. Think there’s at least one report on this in this Forum. Any chance that you find this being fixed?

Cheers. ?_?

Hi all, i also have v4.0623.0.41. I find this version alot faster than the previous version 3 and since i have upgraded my phone has only crashed twice (and that was on the same day) - And since then i have been using the phone alot more, this includes surfing the web with multiple pages open, connected to email and also texting at the same time.

darrengf: i still have the two lines under my 3g/gsm symbol. Have you got "when needed" selected in your settings?

Also on mine the anti virus is given as a link to download and install the trial version, the anti virus is not pre installed with the upgrade.

Texts are also displayed using bold text. Making it alot easier to see a great advantage, and even though i have seen it mentioned else where i have never had a problem with texts sitting in my outbox for ages, i live in a poor signal area and as soon as i get signal the text goes.


sysinit: Could you point me in the direction of a java application that you have previously had problems with. I will investigate to see if the phone shows any weird signs after use.

Thanks for the info regarding the lines.

I will stand corrected, the lines are still there.


I still think however the phone is no different in speed wise, in some cases i think its slower.

I had the Anti Virus installed, However I have now removed it.

I havent had any crashes, however that because i stopped using the phone as much and purchased a K800i. Sorry Nokia.

Still not sure on battery tho,

Will feedback after on this

Re: Nokia N80 Firmware Version 4.0623.0.41

So seems some code might have been causing something in the hardware to drain the battery down?

Maybe Wi-Fi is now totally off, and not just in a kind of sleep mode???

I think battery might be slightly improved, but with variable usuage its difficault to say. Performance wise i have not had to reboot my phone once since i recovered my backup. That was after the flashing process had completed. And im now using my 3g connection to connect me to the net as telewest has failed me... and im still recieving texts and sending at the same time and my phones showing no signs of stress. I cant see why people are getting so worked up about it in other topics!

go the N80!

Edit: Wifi still seems to be active, perhaps its not searching for networks as often as it was?

Hello! Memory backup doesn't work on N80 at all. I tried several types of flash cards (64MB, 128MB, 512MB). All cards made in Japan and are the Nokia's brand. I checked couple N80 with firmware as V 3.0617.06 03-05-2006 and V 3.0614.0.3 11-04-2006. Both of them can?t make phone memory backup on flash cards. Does that work for new firmware? Andrey

I have never had a problem with backups. It works fine in the new firmware as well. Im in the uk using a generic build so perhaps this is a variant issue?

Re: Nokia N80 Firmware Version 4.0623.0.41

i can also say i have never had any problems with the back up facility in the phone on any of the firmware.

You do need to mark all your contacts and then select copy to memory card.

Ok my report on the battery.

Nope the battery doesnt seem to have improved.

I have used my phone in the normal way and i still only get 2 days max with at a push.

Sorry Chaps. I did get 30 mins extra from the battery (Well its a start) lol

:-)

Im sticking with my K800i. But I will still keep using the N80 Bless it

flatbatn80 , they prob do but your network hasn't approved the variant yet.

You will only get your network variant.

Yes this could be down to the network not approving it.

But CPW have a different system the other Nokia Repair Centers.
