December 09, 2007 Nokia N95 users: go and update your device software! Posted by Jukka Eklund at 10:44 AM | Categories: Tips and tricks

If you are using N95 (like the majority of our users are) and haven't yet updated your device software via Device software update, I warmly recommend you to do it. The latest update brings something called Demand paging into N95, which increases the amount of working memory (RAM) on the device significantly. This in turn makes running Mobile Web Server even more convenient since there will be even less a chance to get "out of memory" notifications when running multiple applications at the same time. The update also includes battery life improvements as well as other major updates.

Demand paging and other improvements are already built-in in latest devices such as N95 8GB, and indeed the difference is noticeable. I have been using N95 8GB for quite a while now, it's great to see these improvements are brought into the previous model as well!

For advice on how to back up the Mobile Web Server data before updating, see this earlier post.

Jukka,

I would love to and have tried to upgrade my N95's software, but the update isn't available yet for my phone (product code: 0548763). It's especially disappointing since I bought my unlocked phone directly from Nokia USA (at Nokia's flagship store in New York City), so it's not a matter of waiting for an operator-specific version of the update.

Any idea about the reason behind this delay? I'm salivating at the new features. :)

@Bruce: Sorry about that, I guess you will just have to wait for a while longer.. I don't have any more information than that what's been said on FAQ: http://www.nokiausa.com/A4410026#31

@bruce there is a utility called "NSS" that lets you change your product code so that you can update your firmware even if its not released in your region. Google it ;)
