New Firmware For N95 8GB – FULL YOUTUBE

By The Guru on January 3, 2008

Steve Litchfield, a guy that I know checks for new firmware daily, has found a pretty substantial update for the Nokia N95 8GB this morning. V15.0.015 is a pretty big jump from V11, and Steve’s been digging in to find the changes. I’ve also still got an N95 8GB on my desk, and am updating the firmware as I type this. I’ll update the post with any changes that I notice. The product code on my N95 8GB is 0549487.

Currently, Steve’s noticed quite a few speed boosts, but that’s about it.

**Update** – First thing I noticed is that it reset my theme and all that, meaning I’ll have to reinstall apps and whatnot. Unimpressed with that. It also does full YouTube. Web Run Time is also included, which is support for real Widgets. Those of you with an updated N95 8GB can download this file onto your device to get an idea of what this will look like.

Here’s the video showing it off. Works pretty well, though I’d prefer if it didn’t start with the full res version, and force you to click on it. Credit to P@sco at Jaspp.net for the heads up.

    I don’t think the controls will ever work, unless YouTube knows what “keystrokes” are being send by those buttons to integrate them into their flash player.

    But seeing it is quite a hassle to use YouTube through the web browser I’ll stick with emTube which is fast and easy to use and even supports the direct download of videos. Flashlite 3.0 might come in handy for some other websites or mini-games though.

    ouh, that’s a nice step for nokia. all of us who know about emtube will continue using it, but later for people who don’t know about it, it’ll be nice to just go to youtube.com and watch videos… of course they’ll have to know about the firmware update. I think Nokia is “sort of” beta testing this youtube thing with people who know and care about firmware updates :)

    The update uninstalls the apps, but if you restore your settings from the memory card it reinstalls everything back to how it was before:)

    Anyone else not having the 3d menu work?

    Jogee, if you go to menu -> tools -> utilities -> memory you have a key set for options. select this and back up your phone memory. This way after you update your phone firmware, you can restore your settings from the backup and all of your settings, applications, and even words you’ve created are still saved. Beats having to redo everything. It even keeps your text messages.
