I recently got my N82 phone updated through NSU and while everything else was working fine, the ‘Switch’ application seemed to be giving a problem. This past Monday I received the E66 for reviewing from WOM World and I was able to try out the application again.
For some odd reason the above mentioned application which was working fine with the earlier firmware refused to launch. When I tried to use the ‘retrieve data’ option on the E66, the phones would pair but nothing could get copied onto the phone.
I ultimately had to resort to going to Nokia Care. I hope the problem can be resolved there, if not, I have been told that the handset will have to be sent back to Nokia. I hope that it does not come to this.
This post is only to bring to the notice of Nokia that there might be a bug in the firmware. I hope someone from their end could verify it and check.
If anyone else has had a similar issue please tell me what did you do to solve the problem.
I have posted the same thing on the Nokia Discussions forum (Asia). You can respond on either places. For the conveinience of the readers I will also post the link here.
Yeah,this is the point that Firmware updates turn into headaches,This happened me with the N80,the indicator light kept lit all the time,and on the N95 8GB,hash key is no longer activating the silent profile.So they do more bad though they are supposed to bring good.
You have atleast a caring Nokia care center,here in SL we don’t even get that chance.When I took my N78 to them,they asked “Hey is this a Nokia,we haven’t seen this model yet”,and the next time when I asked for a headset model they asked back,is it a Sony Erricson?
‘Grayburn’ over at the Nokia Discussions forum has also said that the application is not working on his phone.
Where you able to back up your phone using PC Suite ? I just updated my N82 to v30 and i’m having the same problems, plus I cant seem to backup my phone :

I was able to back up the phone on all the occasions, prior to the update as well as after the update. No problems there. All the data I had was getting backed up without a hitch. However the ‘Switch’ application had given me problems. I got it working after giving my phone to the local Nokia Care Centre. If you are having problems backing up your phone book, I suggest you sync it with Windows Address Book. Also, there is a software I believe which will allow you to backup your messages as text files.
Egads. Thanks for the info man ! I guess I’ll try to get to the root of this problem. Else, its to the Nokia Service Center lol.
