Three weeks ago we posted that the Nokia N96 got its first firmware upgrade. As we said then, some of the problems still occurred, prompting the Finnish giant to release another firmware update – version 11.101. Most of the stability issues are resolved now, including those related to mobile TV.

Here are some of the problems that are fixed with the latest firmware:

  • Mobile TV is unable to set the platform guide after phone reboot
  • DM settings aren’t generated automatically, when Email settings are defined in variant
  • Audio: Phone resets when plugging/unplugging headset for several times during music playback
  • Video call: White or black screen flashes when power saver time-out expires during an active video call
  • 3D Ringing tone is too low, almost nothing cannot be heard during MT voice call
  • Illumination with Voice call: During an active voice call, power saver displays when power saver time-out expires and then phone goes to sleep mode while the call is still ongoing
  • Image Quality improvements
  • A number of error fixes related to general system stability improvements
  • Low audio volume in Mobile TV. DVB-H audio volume level is now set to be similar to N77

What can I say except – if you own the Nokia N96, you should update right away!
