N73 Me (rm-133) Fw V4.0727.2.2.1

[assasin]

just updated my N73 to the latest fw version yesterday.

V4.0727.2.2.1 does make the fone UI faster.cudnt test A2DP cuz i dont hav stereo BT handsfree.
FOTA is there but when i tried to connect it said 'Server not responding'.this cud be due to the fact that Nokia hasnt released any FOTA update for N73.
pic quality seems to be a bit better.dont hav that blue haze that i used to hav with the V 3 fw.
bluetooth is working fine with v1.2 devices.paired my fone with my frnd's Samsung bt handsfree (mono) and it worked fine.
audio quality seems to be same as with V 3.now music player has 'Exit' option. so u dont hav to always keep it running in the background.
new theme has been added.Snake has been removed.
overall i liked the update.
its a 76.5MB download thru NSU.

Well, it seems to me that you have just copied all the available feedback about firmware 4 from the forums on the web, since this update has not yet been released for the APAC region, atleast indian code.

^^^ hey wat r the xtra flash settings in this new fw? i didnt seem to find any.

[Ankur Gupta]

The update isnt available for my code yet

[assasin]

^^^ yeah it aint available for APAC region pids.i had to change my pid to Euro region to update mine.after updating i reverted to my original pid.
if u want the update u can do the same.

[alsiladka]

@deathvirus_me
I myself had posted this changelog on Symbian-Freak a 2 3 weeks back.

For your info, Dial Up over IR is already present in the previous firmwares, which is V3.

[Rockstar11]

The update isnt available for my 0543843 code yet... NOKIA

[Ankur Gupta]

Just update the product code and update the firmware and then change back to original product code...
I too did that after resisting that for a long time...
FYI..the update is 73 MB!

[assasin]

^^^did u like the update?did u try FOTA?

[Ankur Gupta]

Well yeah the FW is definitely better in terms of RAM management and speed but then A2DP was the major change for which you have to shell out 2k bucks more...
IMHO its is a major update for N73 vanilla users rather than N73 ME owners...

[Rockstar11]

okay just updated my N73 me v3 to Fw V4.0727.2.2.1

no more camera sound and no sound at starting the phone
just turn the warning tones off.

N73 ME Fw V4.0727.2.2.1 available for APAC region India - my product code (0543843)

[Ankur Gupta]

yeah I too noticed that new FW was made available by Nokia for APAC region region..
But camera sound does come even with warning tones off...

[alsiladka]

Updated it, have seen any thing great in particular yet!!

* FOTA is a nice addition, but no comments till i have got a chance to use it!!
* Atlast can gain some RAM by closing Music Player
* Folder opening appeared a shade faster, but probably because no softwares are yet there on the phone
* I felt the search in the Contacts was faster, previously, the typed letter would take a while to change or appear
* The Download client has recieved an update if i remember the version numbers correctly.

I will start installing softwares today. Will report any mishappening.

PS - I formatted my Memory card to FAT32 filesystem having a 512bytes cluster. Previously, as is the default if you format in in phone, it formats using the FAT FS with a 32KB cluster. I hope you people understand what this means, even a 1byte file will use up 32Kb on your memory card. This is the reason why, if you start using Nokia Maps, you will see a considerable amount of space. When i had downloaded the 10Mb Maps of India, i lost more than 100MB of space.
