Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

I noticed a couple of improvements on this update...
Internet radio via my wifi, seems much more stable.
and navigating via the hilden interface with just the finger seems much better now... it seems to detect the control under the finger much better, for example if you open the google web page and touch the small(no zoom) edit field or small(no zoom) button area actually works(before it seemed to have needed to zoom in or place the nail right on the control to activate it).

On a down side I think battery life is not lasting as long now... but maybe has something to do with some rogue process running in the background.


FYI, the battery drains for me since the symbian days have always have been gps/assisted network position/bluetooth and for some wifi or 3G.

For me, I use both 3g and wifi so I keep these 2 turned on always.

You have no update because Nokia hasn't released the update for Vodafone (205) users yet, just the generic UK (203) version.

Decided to go Global
Had enough of waiting for Voda to pull their fingers out of their rear

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

I went global last night and only change I noticed was the new firmware number :)

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

Thanks, any idea why as i thought this was now for the UK as a whole?
If i do decide to flash it will that definately mean that i will get updates along with the rest of the world?

As a side note i do wish they would hurry up & sort out the OVI store as i need to get the full angry birds version.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

No idea - don't know why they've taken this long to release the UK update either.

Yes, if you flash with the global firmware then you'll get the updates alongside everyone else, or you can flash with the generic UK firmware. Nobody seems to know of any differences between the firmware variants anyway.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

As far as Vodafone is concerned - who knows?

After flashing, my understanding is that you will get Nokia updates through SSU just as you would have before, except you'll get the ones the lucky people everywhere else get, rather than being limited to UK-specific ones.

Thanks

Dumb n00b question time -

If I use:

1. Use the backup utility to back everything up
2. Flash my UK Vodafone model with global firmware

Then am I able to restore the backup and get my settings, installed apps and contacts back?

I haven't played with backup and restore so I don't yet jknow what exactly it backs up or restores.

Oh and also, is it going to work from win 7 64 bit? I have ultimate so it's supposed to emulate XP pretty well...

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions
 

Yes, everything will be restored. Your apps will be automatically re-installed if necessary.

No, this does not work with 64-bit windows 7. See previous entries in this thread.
