Great news!

Today we have started rolling out a new software update for the Nokia X2 Dual SIM (RM-1013) owners. This is a major/global release, bringing the phone software version to Nokia X Software Platform 2.1 (2.1.0.11/2.1.0.12/2.1.0.13), and will be available via OTA (Over-The-Air).

Key features of the update include:

  • Make your phone more personal than ever with live wallpapers and new lock screen widgets.
  • Keep your life synced with OneDrive and OneNote. Get up to 15 GB of personal storage space on OneDrive, and sync up to 500 notes to OneNote.
  • Access your favorite Google services. You can now sync your Google contacts, and access your Gmail inbox.
  • Find your way anywhere with HERE Maps - get turn-by-turn voice guidance with a free global navigation license. Requires additional HERE Maps update from Store.
  • Updated Store - new design to help you find content more easily, and better integration with 3rd-party stores.
  • Added local calendar support, call reject with a message, parental controls for Store, landscape support for mail and messaging, and auto-configuration of mail accounts.

By default your phone is set to automatically check for updates every 8 days and you will be notified when an update is available for download. You can also instantly check for updates by going to Settings > About Phone > System Updates and tapping Check Now.

    no everything is installed i guess...becoz when i restarted the phone when it prompted it was showing " optimizing 15 of 39 (for example)" which means the installation was already over and it was only updating the existing apps..i guess the problem is with the UI toll (Nokia software recovery tool) which was showing wrong status..isnt it?

    Yeah it happened to me to but when the installation failed at 70 percent or in your case 50 percent...i disconnected it as it said and then i connected it again and installed it again only this time it installed to full 100 percent........

    The thing is with 50 percent i dont think all the features were installed like the camera and all.....

    Hi friends,

    a strange thing happened to me..i updated to 2.1 with nokia software recovery tool. i connected my phone through USB and the tool detected my phone. Then i clicked on next button and it asked me to download the software which was around 900mb..it downloaded and i clicked on next...the installation started and  at around 50% there was an error " software installation failed.Error code: you may try to recover or cancel. if you cancel your phone may stop working"

    i clicked on recover and i was asked to do the following

    1. remove the battery
    2. put the battery again
    3. press the power button until u hear the vibration sound
    4. connect the usb cable once the phone starts

    i did it and when i pressed the power button it swtiched on and was showing " optimizing 15 of 30" (which means the installation was successful and it is optimizing the apps)

    I checked the phone version and it now shows version 2.1

    this is strange. i thought it would get bricked. Can someone tell me what has actually happened.
