The Nokia N79 got a new firmware update today and the new version is v31.002, and as usual Nokia has not published the changlog so feel free to comment at the end of this post if you find any changes in the new firmware. Dont forget to backup your data before updating the firmware! You can download the new firmware from NSU (included in PC Suit).

Little help here, anyone? I don’t want to drag my Windows laptop out of storage for nothing… ; )
hehe MAC user?
[ahem] *Proper Linux* user, thank-you very much…
Update available in India as well, just now updated to v31.002
I cant update my N97, im still on V12.0.026
Im running Windows 7 64bit
The built in nokia app on the phone doesn’t update the phone, and the Nokia Suite on the PC doesn’t work because the updater wont run in 64bit
What do i do ?
Hurston
Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.1.35 runs perfectly on Wondows 7 6bit, but this is the first version that runs, so download it and update yours then youqshould be able to update the N97 (like me though I did it on a XP machine at work)
Funny thing is till a few days ago I couldn’t get anything newer than v20.
Also right now Nokia updater on the PC and on the web site say I can only get v20.
But directly from the phone I got the v31
. Haven’t messed around enough to notice big differences…

When you have done the firmware version 30, did you lose the WLAN scanning feature? I lost mine. It is a very valuable tool for my Nokia N79.
Now, I would like to know, if upgrading to version 31, will it bring back the WLAN scanner?
Anyone tested if the screensaver bug still exists?
I.e. the screensaver-bar with the digital clock and date display vanishes after some seconds? It ought to stay there infinitely (with backlight off, of course), as in all other Nokia S60 models, but it seems they didn’t manage it. In 30.019, the bug still exists and I only want to update to 31.011 if that bug has been addressed.
Update available in Thailand
as well, just now updated to v31.002
I have updated my N79 to version 32.001 some months back. BELIEVE ME.
