Nokia N97 Mini Firmware Update v12.0.110

Nokia N97 Mini Firmware Update v12.0.110The Nokia N97 Mini, which for many fine folk is the true N Series flagship device right now, has received a firmware update, taking it to firmware version v12.0.110. From what we know about this update it seems to pretty much be a maintenance update, making the operating system a little more robust and the platform more stable. Read on to find out more about the Nokia N97 Mini firmware v12.0.110 update.

The Nokia N97 Mini is the 3.2-inch touchscreen version of the larger Nokia N97 and comes with a slightly refined slide-out QWERTY keyboard but runs the same Symbain S60 5th Edition OS. We don't have a Nokia N97 Mini to hand, so don't know what the update consists of and with no changelog available at this time details are a little slim on the ground.

It does seem that the Nokia N97 Mini firmware v12.0.110 update is only available via the Nokia Software Updater, and not Ovi Suite, at this time, which seems a little odd. What's more, the OTA update isn't expected to hit for a couple of days yet.

It's worth bearing in mind that Nokia updates roll out around the world at different times, so while the update is out there is may be a few days, or even weeks, before it starts to show up. The only thing you can do is regularly check your handset for the update. What's more, if you have a telco branded device, you'll need to wait until they roll out their own version of the update otherwise you risk losing operator installed apps and utilities.

The Nokia N97 Mini comes with UDP (User Data Preservation), so you don't need to readily backup all your files but we'd suggest doing so just to be on the safe side.

    After update to v12, my gps stop working. There is a nice kinetic side swipe to open a new home page, however you cannot put anything on the page. If this is Nokia flagship smartphone and the best they can offer, then this is time to sell Nokia stock.

    Hi,

    very serious bug found after updating n97min,
    Icons in menu and application screen turns very small in size and it resolves only after restarting the handset. this is irritating, observed 2-3 times every day.

    Recently, nokia failed to keep reputation in the marked.

  • maitrey

  • CQ

    I finally got the update available here in the southern U.S. and received update version 12.2.110. Maybe they fixed some of the above mentioned bugs and renamed it. Anyway, smooth update, no problems. No huge changes. Browser is quicker, the Ovi Maps actually works properly now and overall things just feel more solid and stable. Plus the whole phone is a bit quicker in any action it takes. I’m happy.

  • Schtum

    Update to v 12.0.110 has resulted in a phone which now uses its battery more quickly than before, hangs, crashes and works much more slowly than before. This may be a numerical \"upgrade\" but it\’s really a functional downgrade. Anyone know if it\’s possible to roll back to the previous version?

  • Rob

    Just installed v12 from 11. Had a lot of problems with the pc not able to sync with the phone. Worse still the touch screen seems to stop working from time to time. This fault is intermitant and very annoying.

    I would recomend steering clear of this upgrade its ropey! It may be some customisation may be causing my problems but I don’t think so.

    That solved my problem!
    Note: Do a backup first

  • Michael

    I did the update, but it keeps looking for wireless network connection and I can’t seem to shut it down…
    Can you help??

  • Reynold

    I cnt notice any change. .

  • Gawie

    this is propably the worst phone I had from Nokia, most probably the last one. The touch screen stopped functioning after 3 months. Sometimes I cant close any applications and if I switch it of, it erases all my SMS’s. It takes about 20min to get a lock to a satelite even if it sees 10 of them.

    So, I dont know it is the improvments made to the software or just bad luck, but I regret every momont that I had with this phone. So may be nokia will have a look in to this problem.
