What's new in Nokia E65 Firmware update 2.0633.65.01

New supported features

* Usability improvements:
* Possibility added for end user to call from Phonebook Internet telephony field (number based address) to CS B party

2. Select secure mode: "Open network, WEP, WPA/WPA2"
3. "WEP key for WLAN" (if WEP chosen), or "Pre-shared key for WLAN", in case of WPA/WPA2
* Domain address handling improved:
* Domain part of VoIP address is not stored / visible in call logs if terminal parameter for this functionality is active. Removing of domain address part in MT case will be done only, if user part contains only numbers (i.e. E.164) or if URI parameter user=phone exists. Provisioning parameter has been added to define the logic.
* Call back (i.e. recall) from call logs is possible to either VoIP or CS number based address. For MO VoIP calls terminal will add automatically domain address, which is a default domain address

  4. It did detect mine. It always does. Try going to Nokia PC Suite, Help --> Reinstall PC Suite Support on your phone. Continue on the phone. Maybe it helps.

  7. This is a big bug with new firmware on E65. Before i installed the new firmware, my wifi connection working well. The browser, Fring, GMAIL are all well via WIFI.

    I have updated my E65 firmware to version 2.0633.65.01. There is a problem connecting fring & browser via wifi (It Fails to connect, not a chance at all). However, fring works fine when i connecting via 3G.

  14. I have "E" under my signal strength meter. Dont know what it is? Help!!!! markr@mailbox.co.za

    ReplyDelete
  15. Just some responses to some readers..

    Markr - probably a faulty antenna or a faulty network. E would probably mean that there is no signal available.

    John Chin - you are probably installing the wrong type of software. You need to install Symbian 60 3rd Edition software.

  16. My phone has just had a problem where on calling & recieving call my voice cannot be heard by the other end. It isn't on mute and my microphone still works as voice recorder is ok. Any ideas??

    ReplyDelete
  17. Stephen - I have heard of this happening before. It could be a fault with the phone's microphone. Just continue to see how it goes and if things don't improve, your only other option is get it replaced. Has anyone else had this problem?
