[Updated] Nokia E71 Firmware v200.21.118 Now Available – ChangeLog Inside

By - Vaibhav Sharma On 12 January 2009 9 Comments

One of the best phone’s Nokia’s ever made has hopefully just gotten better. The E71 has just received a seemingly major firmware update taking the ‘current’ version upto v200.21.118 from v110.07.127. The new firmware brings two news black and red themes along with an improvement in WLAN stability amongst a host of other things. Complete changelog below.

Details about the changes that it brings are thin at the moment and I’ll update this post as soon as we get more information. The ability to ‘hack’ the firmware has been blocked since v110 so those of you who are already on v110 or who simply don’t care can go ahead and update. The usual caveats about backing up your data etc apply, remember the E71 doesn’t have user data preservation unlike the newer FP2 devices.

New functionalities in MCU SW version 200.21.118:

- Internet Radio application
- My Nokia application
- 3G power reduction for applications using keep-alive style messaging
- User experience improvements:
- Easy Dialing support for Simplified Chinese language
- Device Lock improvement: Open device lock with LSK + Fn-keys
- One key input method switch for China language
- ‘Mute’ option in Right Soft Key when wired headset / hands free is connected
- ‘Loudspeaker’ option in Right Soft Key immediately when phone call is started
- Enlarge characters in Chr-table
- NTLM v1 and v2 support for Intranet Browsing
- New black and red themes

I have an unlocked E71-2 running v100.07.76. I downloaded the Nokia Software Updater (in Brazilian Portuguese), and it only offers me the same version I already have.

Why is that?

Since I updated I’ve got troubles connecting to data services. It first shows 3.5G, then falls back to 3G, but the connection still does not work, i.e. Browser stays blank. A reboot corrects the problem. Not completely sure if this comes from the update, though. I use Sunrise, Switzerland. Maybe they changed something, too. Can anyone confirm the problem?

Thanks,

R.
