Please let us know if you have any problems with the new firmware. And is the browser working fine with high flash content? eg. skysports.com and youtube (desktop version)

I would really appreciate it if anyone gave me some info. thanx 

[Lebowski124]

I haven't noticed any problems as yet, but maybe I'm wearing rose tinted specs but it seems to be fine, there's nothing amazing but it's a big increase in performance and stability.

Flash heavy content seems absolutely fine albeit a little slow to render.

Major problems! Mail for Exchange no longer connects and the "Destinations" option in Settings, Connectivity just refuses to open. Just jumps back to the menu!

[Lebowski124]

Destinations seems to function fine here, I haven't set up exchange yet just imap which works well, so may report back on that later.

[erellip]

I can't access "destinations" anymore??

When I press it it says "system failure".

And the N97 keeps asking for a connection as well.

Can you all check please?

Ok at first glance...

On the home screen, the overall widget width seems to have been reduced slightly.

You can also hold down on a widget to remove it or change it's settings. Not sure if this was there before.

Kinetic scrolling sees to work well, but it looks like the Ovi Shop bug with not being able to scroll is still there, even though this was pointed out in a preliminary review of the v20 firmware.

Phone is far more responsive and the Acuweather app seems to remember it's settings now.

I don't know if I'm imagining it but it seems the fonts in the menus have been adjusted slightly. Everything appears somewhat cleaner.

After the update you are also show a splash screen for Ovi maps etc. 

Just gave my phone a hard reset to start from scratch and:

Facebook app appears to be the same.

There is no Skype

Phone is far more responsive 

The album art in the music library is nice 

There are no new themes

I still can't get my MfE to work, it keeps saying the installation package is missing. 

All in all a decent update but no miracles.

i have a weird bug when i am trying to exit from app via the open app menu the phone suddenly restarting

[series_n]

thanx SimonGie for the in depth post.

I still have a bug that has existed since I first got the phone with V11.

When I first got my N97 I imported all my contacts from my N95 using the supplied bluetooth app (switch?). This of course looses all the default settings (grrr).

I have one contact who I cannot assign a default to. The contact has two mobile numbers and an email address. I can open and view the contact. I can even add/remove numbers. I can call this person on either number, but when I open the contact info and then select "defaults" it dumps me back out to the contact list page again.

When I originally had the problem on V11 I thought it might be to do with the contact's name. My friend is Polish, so has an extended Polish letter in her name. So I had editted it and changed it to a normal L. That was back at V11, and I still can't set defaults.

I just did the update and what I find is that applications like Ovi Chat and Vlingo are added and cannot be removed even if I don't want them. Vlingo is not a free version either, yet there is no way to remove it. I also cannot find Nokia Messaging anywhere on the phone. I did not have it before and even looking in the Installed Applications listings I don't find it. No new widgets either.

What did i find?

1. I lost C: drive space and I see no benefits added there.
2. The amount of RAM has not changed.
3. Ovi Maps is the same, including a longer than desired GPS link time.
4. Kinetic scrolling is not throughout the phone but there is more of it (doesn't work in X-plore).
5. Photos works a lot like the beta Photo Browser so I can now remove that to save some disk space.
6. Touch response seems to be less-responsive as opposed to the advertised more responsive. It may be because the menus now have kinetic scrolling and any time you try and select a folder it tries to scroll through the list of folders (may be my fat thumbs)

My biggest question is how can I remove Ovi Chat and Vlingo?

[SimonGie]

No problem

Ok, I sorted out my Mail for exchange.

Seems the 5800 Express installation package works just fine.

Just reinstalled Google Maps and Fring without any issues and and marvelling at how fast and responsive this phone is, it really is a joy to operate now.

@tankslappa:

This is a bug that exists on most S60v5 devices.

The workaround is to export the contact as a .vcf file, delete it and then re-import it from the .vcf file.

Go to the contact in question, then (note that this is how to do it on a 5800 - the N97 might be slightly different):

Options > Copy business card > To other memory.

Select the drive (E: mass memory or F: memory card)

Then Options > Delete

Finally, locate the .vcf file in either E:\Others\Contacts or F:\Others\Contacts depending on where you saved it. Open the .vcf file, then Options > Save business card.

Thanks grschinon,

I didn't realise it was such a common thing, you'd think Nokia would know how to import from an N95 to an N97, it's ot like I'm going via an (sorry about the language) iPhone or something!

[tiscali]

where is the 20.xx voip?

[bowardsen]

I did a hard reset before and after updating the device, and guess what? It works verry well. At this point, I am looking forward to use my n97 for work and everything else. At least Nokia is walking in the right direction!

Format the phone, install v20, format again, and then - have a good time

[series_n]

bowardsen, after you hard reset ur phone, did u lose the stuff on the memory card? I think I'm gonna feel lazy backing up my mass memory because i've used about 20GB and that will take forever to back up 

[heavylogistic]

Do you think that hard reset , install and hard reset again is walking is the right solution? I think it's quite not serious for a work application!!!

Otherwise I have the same problem as don_sa, when I want to go to the "Destinations" option in Settings, Connectivity just refuses to open. Just jumps back to the menu!

Other problem, when I go to settings, connectivity and admin settings, I have SIP settings and when I want to create a new SIP profile using default profiles, its refuse to open and I go back to menu.

Have you the same problem?
