N-Gage (service) - Updates

Updates

Piror to the closure of N-Gage service, Nokia released updates for the N-Gage application on a regular basis and the first update was made available on 2 October 2008. Dubbed as v1.010_131, this update included the following major changes:

• There was an issue that occurred when a user reached 10,000 N-Gage Points, the application would exit unexpectedly and refuse to restart. This issue has been addressed.
• On some devices, if a user had close to fifty friends the application would behave unexpectedly. This issue has been addressed.
• An issue where Snakes Subsonic on certain devices would exit unexpectedly when hosting a Bluetooth multiplayer match has been addressed
• An issue where Blockbreaker Deluxe would exit with an error when a user activated Bluetooth has been addressed
• There was an issue where the WiFi connection changed to a GPRS connection during Operator Billing. This issue has been addressed.
• There was an issue where certain games would exit unexpectedly if a user selected 'Cancel' during the Get License.
• There was an issue where a user would launch a game, and during the 'Attempting Login' screen, could not select the 'Cancel' button. This issue has been addressed.
• There was an error where the N-Gage Arena Rankings could not be accessed using WLAN when the device is in Offline Mode. This error has been addressed.
• Some localization issues with Spanish and French have been addressed.
• An issue where the application would freeze unexpectedly when the device is left idle on the N-Gage Arena terms and conditions page has been addressed.
• A problem with password retrieval has been addressed.

Version 1.20(1459) was released on 13 May 2009 but didn't do much more than eliminate a few bugs. On 18 August 2009, version 1.40(1557) introduced a new start-up icon, welcoming screen, and way of breaking down the installed games. The speed of the application itself was slightly improved as well.

Updating the application may be done through the app itself—by using the "Check for Updates" function on the device, or it can be downloaded in the "Get N-Gage" section on N-Gage.com.
