V21.0.016 on its way soon

[Pug]

I'm tending to agree with Maltloaf. I have no probs with mine at all and at the mo can't see a reason to go through the rigmarole of reinstalling everything.

heres a video iv made in .mp4 format of my n95-1 in action playing a youtube vid, vid was taken on n80 so quality isnt great ... 17032008001.mp4

Does anyone managed to load Dailymotion.com video on their euro v21 N95..? I saw others with N95 8GB v15 able to view the videos from dailymotion directly. Youtube is working fine on my apac v21 n95 but dailymotion video ( and a few other sites with flv video..) can not be loaded, only an icon with a broken document shown in the middle of the viewing area (no full screen option available). Only option is to use the build-in Flash lite 3 player with "open in viewer" but the player just gave me an error "not able to connect" when the player trying to load the video. (There are still 5-6 mb ram left when this happen. ) -_-...

Questions for those that have updated: (all issues stated here are based on what i've experienced when using v20.0.015)


1-There seems to be a problem with headset or/and Music Player.After some time listening to music through headset (headset=default headphones, with wired control that come with N95) or disconnecting and connecting the headset a certain number of times, the phone is bound to freeze completely.It's happened here 17 times approx. , and always either after, or during listening to music through headset.
When phone freezes, you have to wait some seconds until it reboots automatically.Before rebooting, the backlight jumps to max level of brightness, and no key works.Not even power key (that has a higher priority).You just have to wait for phone to reboot.

Was it fixed?


2-when listening to music using default Music Player, if you perform actions, like going to "All songs" view, or simply pressing "Options" and move through the menu , or even doing general multitask (use other functions while Music Player is playing something), you can notice some small, yet perceptible, distortions in the sound (based on use of headset to listen to music)

Was it fixed?


3-the freak "Battery Low" warnings.When you have less than ~3.62 volts of power in your battery, phone starts to show "Battery Low" warnings.All good so far.The problem is, unlike older phones, the warnings pop up very often.Any action that consumes considerable amount of energy causes one (or two, sometimes) "Battery Low" warning. For example, you browsing the web.If you click in a link, phone shows "Battery Low".The page loads.You click in another link.Another two consecutive "Battery Low"'s appear.When using some real-time (over TCP/IP) instant messenger application (i.e. "Slick"), "Battery Low" warnings are really frenetic: 15 (or more) per minute, approx.

Was it fixed?


4-When using phone as a Bluetooth modem, it loses connection with the computer very easily.
Is it stable now?


5- Zoom in video recording.
When you zoom in during video recording, the image becomes pixellated


while in other phones, like N90, image is cool


How is current situation?

Can't say I've ever had that happen with v20 for me, I've just pulled the headphones in and out lots (and other than the delay between plugging the headphones in) nothing went wrong. I have had the backlight go to max once or twice for a second when charging, though.

There's still a background distortion that's *always* on. If you start opening LOTS of applications you do get a little stutter. I assume that's it running out of RAM.

With Realplayer streaming over 3G, lots of GPS usage, few games of Quake, WiFi scanning on etc. there's quite a few low battery warnings, say 3 on my train journey home, but nowhere near 15 a minute.

Can't say I've tried. Bluetooth headsets/syncing with other phones seems pretty stable, though.

Still there - very obvious on the 'screen' camera.
