Nokia N96 Firmware Updates To Version 12.043
Finally the much awaited firmware upgrade of Nokia N96 is available for download. So if you are a N96 owner you definitely need this. What the new firmware promises is improvement in the speed of navigation within different menus and options of the device, some general fixes in the camera, WLAN and support for the latest Web offerings from Nokia like the Nokia Email etc. We got hold of the change log from Vaibhav a day before yesterday but I wanted to check it personally if the upgrade was promising enough before I make a mention but unfortunately my internet connection has been dicey thus I have not been able to update my device. The NSU update is 110 Mb where as the OTA update is 2.5 Mb. (I have been facing a little trouble with the OTA update about which I will rant in my next post, Damn you Server Profile Settings!)
Following is the Change Log:
NEW FEATURES IN THIS RELEASE
* Switch 4.0 – improved switch application to transfer user data from/to other devices.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS RELEASE / GENERAL AREAS
* Still image quality is improved, with fixes for color haziness and motion blur that appeared under certain conditions.
* Many fixes for conditions that can lead to application crashes or instabilities.
* Improved overall Bluetooth interoperability Improved overall Bluetooth interoperability.
* Now compatible with Nokia Email service (application available as separate download).
* If user sets brightness to maximum value the display backlight now does turn back on after screensaver mode.
* The device autolock no longer locks the device while viewing or recording videos.
* SMS no longer gets auto-converted to an MMS message if there are more then 20 recipients.
* Music Player “Refresh Library” no longer hangs if General Settings Date separator is set to “:”.
* Now only one message alert tone is played per synchronization with Mail for Exchange, instead of one per message.
* Fix for issue with alarm snoozing when alarm was set and device was powered off.
* Theme no longer jumps back to default theme after using USB mass storage mode.
* CSHelp texts are now updated to resolves several identified issues.
KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS RELEASE
* During boot, we recommend to wait for battery bar to show up prior to using media keys to ensure they are responsive.
* Ngage pre-selects wrong access point in certain operator networks, in these instances user needs to reconfigure Ngage access points manually from within Ngage settings menu.

hey that was a great option.. I tried it on my new N96 and it was like a smooth operator .. I love how easy it was to update compared to the computer hookup method.. with this method, there were no problems, no glitches and none of my data or applications was lost.. Way to go!!!

I keep trying to update with 12.043 which is apparently available. Every time I try, it gets to a point where its updating, then my phone turns off. battery is fully charged and the computer is fine. where do i go now. i need the update to rectify a problem with the phone so my provider says. ( my signal keeps fluctuating. everytimr I open the phone to answer a text the signal disappears for about 45 seconds!!)
