Nokia 5800 updated to v30.0.011

SuperScreenshot0056

All visible updates I noticed in one screenshot.

Early this morning, reports of a new Nokia 5800 firmware echoed through the internets. I thought I’d wait until it’s confirmed hackeable, as I always do. But after a couple conflicting reports I decided to try for myself. OTA firmware update, same experience as V21.

  • First impression: if you get an endless rebooting phone, take out the memory card. That fixed it for me, and I can reboot normally now. (It was scary as heck though.)
  • The keypad and contacts app shortcuts on the homescreen are a lighter gray, as of V1x instead of the darker gray they were on V2x.
  • Same for the number keys inside the keypad app.
  • The My Nokia icon (shown above in the first shortcut slot) was updated. (I think :P)
  • Adjusting the music player’s volume is MUCH more responsible, the volume slider appears on tapping the album artwork area, and the volume slider now appears in the homescreen when you press the volume keys.
  • Was that log bug that every entry showed up as a mobile icon still around? If so, it’s fixed now.
  • Supposedly there’s a new messaging plugin for the homescreen. Apparently it requires a hard reset to show up though, and I’m not resetting my phone! :P
  • My patches (installserver and open4all) are still working.

Can’t say anything for UI speed or free ram, as those are subjective/can vary a lot depending on what you have installed.

Post will be updated if I find a reliable changelog or if I notice anything else or if I decide to suck it up and hard reset the phone.
