It’s not a 21 valve engine but for all i know the new V21 Firmware update for the N95-1 is sure gonna rock..considering that Nokia is going to have to add lots of new stuff in the firmware like the Search, N-Gage and key press bug.
But the problem is that the firmware pic has been dates as 10th October! How come no one’s got it still remains a mystery…

Any advice on how to use the NSS software? you can use the cable supplied with the phone to your USB port to flash, right?

You can see the differences in firmware versions and the differences in gps and assisted gps.

you might be surprised with the results

I thought I’d share my experiences of flashing a Vodafonized Nok N95.

Earlier this week I got a N95 as a free upgrade when I renewed my Vodafone contract. The N95 came with Vodafone branded firmware v11, and it kept on locking up and rebooting on occasions. So the options where to either return it to the shop and get it replaced or reflashed with the same buggy v11 firmware, or take the plunge and grab NSS and flash to the generic v12 firmware.

In the end I flashed it to the generic v12 firmware as described in this blog. This was done a couple of days ago. I done the backup and restore process as well.

Now the N95 performs flawlessly, no reboots and no crashes, and best of all no Vodacrap hobbled buggy firmware.

Hi Patrick,

It’s worked fine now for well over a month. I got an extra couple of features that apparently allow you to configure a VOIP account, but couldn’t get it working – I didn’t spend long looking at it as I’m not that fussed about using VOIP. The GPS works much better, it takes about a minute for it to get a position. I also seem to get a little graphic that indicates when an applicaation is open, I’m not sure if this was there before my nss adventures or not, but its very useful…alot of people have said the N95 freezes on them, I’m guessing this might be because the have applications open that they don’t realise are open? I haven’t had it freeze or crash once.

Does the GPS work better? Are there any other problems so far? Did you get more features?

Thanks,

Patrick
