Nokia N95 Firmware ROM Upgrade

I got three screenshots yesterday. The first shows that the complete firmware is dated, 6-19-2007, and is numbered v12.0.013.Ok, there’s not *too* many changes in this firmware that I’ve can see. Available N95 RAM after a fresh boot is still the amount of 18MB. I did check for FOTA, and it’s not there . The new version of the N95 Nokia Maps is in there, and you will see from this screenshot. This also adds the N95 ability of Assisted-GPS, which uses mobile cell ID’s and their actual known location to help speed up the mapping process of locking into a location.

With A-GPS turned off / disabled, it took the Nokia N95 a full 74 seconds to finally lock-on. With A-GPS enabled / on (and after a complete power cycle with battery taken out), it was only 57 seconds total. That’s a massive 17 second speed boost, and because its the model A-GPS is a full blown learning system that keeps track of known mobile cell-IDs, it will get better and smoother and also faster. Also, with the A-GPS, we were able to get a location lock INDOORS, which is very rare! I also tested this by walking from one end of the house to the other end, and it followed me completely on the screen.

The product code for this Nokia update is 0536062.
