I was just looking through these comments to see if anyone else was experiencing that too. Good to know it's not just me, although being as it's over 6 months ago - did you find a resolution or just put up with it?

It's a bug indeed, but if you go to themes -> power saver -> and choose animation the time will now be correct.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Do not install this update if you use Russian language!
When you try to type cyrillic Ы it types ï instead.Type Э - є!
Be carefull and think twice

Hi guys...I'm in South Africa, currently running fw ver. 210.21.006. The nokia site showed the availability of ver 300.21.012, but nokia updater does not seem to play along. Why is there different "updates" for the same phone, some guys (countries) can update to new version, others not. Is it possible to updates "around" nokia software updates, what are the risks and problems that may arise?

Guys, i have just recently uploaded the new firmware at my device... honestly its better, more stabled gone through with all the tiny areas of the device to check the performance and found "Better Camera Results", "little fast menu", "SIP ID more stabled". For all those who dont want to upgrade to run the cracked applictions, come on man.. give a shot on this firmware there is always a reson for the new firmware by the vender, if you are still using the old version probably not found any issues does not mean its bugg free ;-) ... all right.. chaooo

Hmm...
it seems like nokia pull back the 300.21.012, I’ve got my phone updated a month ago and now i can't replace the update (nor to install it to my other E71) because the update is no available any more. The only thing that keep me from changing the product key is that I want to keep my eastern european key settings. I also notice that the update service was not working for a week and after that period the problem appear. Did any one know anything about that ?

I am a Nokia E71 user (from Malaysia). Having used Nokia Email for almost 6 months, I am a satisfied user. Unfortunately, after the process of upgrading to the latest Firmware Version Version 300.21.012, I could no longer get Nokia Email "configured" on my phone. Here is what happened:

1) Upgraded firmware to 300.21.012 using Nokia Software Updater. Everything went smoothly.
2) Used the std browser and downloaded the Nokia Email client from email.nokia.com, installed successfully. When installing, I remember the app details was Nokia Email Version 9.05(75).
3) I went to Menu -> Installations -> E-mail setup.
4) Immediate I was prompted "Allow application to use network to send or receive data?". Pressing "No" will exit the application, so I went on to press "Yes". It hangs there forever!

At that point of time, I have an active 3G connection to the Internet. I tried switching to an available WLAN network to the Internet as well but the effect was the same (hangs after pressing "Yes" on the first screen of E-mail setup).

After much frustrations, I restored my phones factory defaults by entering *#7370# at the home screen. I suspected that the reason Nokia email didn't work was probably because the firmware upgrade wasn't entire "clean". When the phone came back up, I repeated steps (2) -> (4) above and the outcome was still the same!

I am now using System SEVEN as an interim until this issue is fixed by Nokia. I do hope that Nokia looks into seriously as it is a major handicap to business users if upgrading to the latest firmware causes Nokia Email to NOT WORK!

Did anybody faced the same problem ?

Indeed, the equalizer settings and loudness control don't have any effect when using the supplied headset after the update. I got the same problem too. It is still okay with the built-in loudspeaker.

tomsteenhorst — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:49:11 -0000

Does anyone got this problem too?: My Audio settings are f*cked up after the update to v300. My equalizer doesn't work anymore just as the loudness option. The stereo enhanced on the other hand still works. Very annoying. Anyone got a solution?

So far tyhe only "bug" I've found. The stability of the phone is a whole lot better. It doesn't get so warm anymore when using Internet and the audio player at the same time. The quality of the camera may have improved a "little" bit but not as much as some people claim.

grtz,
Tom

Hi,

Got the same problem with Operamini sometimes. Only solution is to get rid of operamini and install it again. Than the problem is solved.

grtz, Tom

Hi! I'm in North America. My service provider is Cincinnati Bell. I'm still at firmware from July of 08. Is there any way to update my phone to newest firmware? I'm really tired of random reboots for no reason.

I found, in a site called Howard Forums, a tip from a user called Candyman and I could do the upgrade. Now my E71 is on v300.. and camera is taking very good pictures (compared with v200). Yes, there was a problem on Nokia server, one of the files (upgrade has 10 files) was missing, that is why NSU said about connection. Regards.

Having the same problem. My E71-2 was showing update to 300.x.x was available, but firmware download failed. Internet, Firewall, etc was fine. Now NSU is not showing update available anymore (since yesterday). I think something must be wrong on the Nokia side.... Hope they fix this soon since the new version seem pretty interesting to have.

I have the same problem. Mine is a E71-2 code 0559585. Nokia SW Update says there is an update v300... but when it begins downloading it fails.
My internet and firewall are OK.

Damn, I still can't update it! It locates the update, but then fails, apparently when trying to download the firmware... Is it possible to download the firmware outside Nokia Software Updater?

Has anybody noticed the annoying screensaver bug? The time on the screensaver is not updated automatically. Or, is it just me with this bug?
