NEWS: N95-1 30.0.015 Firmware On NSU
Kirollos Fares | September 4, 2008
Great news for all N95-1 users like me, Nokia today released the new firmware version V30.0.015 on Nokia Software Updater, till now there’s no changelog apperaing, no details about it, I’m currently updating my phone but the internet is not helping.
To update your phone, download NSU on your PC machine and make sure you backed up the phone memory onto the memory card.
I’ll keep this post updated as soon as I have the 30.0.015 up and running on my N95.
Update: it took a long while to install the new firmware on my phone, and to tell ya the truth, the firmware is amazing, Automatic screen rotation is there (disabled by deafult), the N95 8GB theme is in there, updates to the music application, new Maps 2.0, N-Gage 2.0, new Download, search application updated, Flash lite 3 updates and lots more under the hood.

i've got it!! only a few changes that i
bitflung | September 4, 2008i’ve got it!! only a few changes that i can note so far:
1. ‘Download!’ - the new download client lets you queue up multiple downloads (background downloading with status displayed). it also offers some widgets in the catalogue (i’m in USA on AT&T, i think the content is based on this info - till now, never had a widget there). also it seems to support keeping tack of your subscriptions? maybe this was in the old one too but i’ve never used it.
2. RAM - free memory on clean boot is slightly LESS than prior firmware (26.4MB on fresh boot for me vs. 29MB with v21 firmware)
3. Screen Orientation - seems to flip orientation faster with no flicker now (used to be very mild flicker, small delay between screen slide and re-orientation - wish i had 2 N95s so i could compare properly)
that’s all i’ve got for now. not a very impressive list, i know, but i’m still testing things (flash 3 should be better supposedly?). i’m looking forward to the ‘big find’: the update that makes me really happy that i’m re-installing my apps to have this new firmware…

holy crap - i was about to reinstall rotateMe and.....
bitflung | September 4, 2008holy crap - i was about to reinstall rotateMe and….. it’s got automatic screen rotation! finally i don’t have to be jealous of my fiance’s n82!
@bitflung Yupp, it's in there, but it's a little bit
Kirollos Fares | September 4, 2008@bitflung Yupp, it’s in there, but it’s a little bit slower than Rotateme.
The only thing I resent about this firmware, is the non-prescence of the cool FP2-like transitions of the N81, yes it slows down the device and everything, but it’s great eye candy!
I'm curious how is GPS working in the new firmware,
Anders | September 5, 2008I’m curious how is GPS working in the new firmware, because when I upgraded mine it took loooonggg time for GPS too lock, like 4-7 miutes. Now I have a fresh N95 with V20 firmware and it locks in less the 25 seconds.
