I am not sure if anyone else noticed the same but from the moment, I updated to firmware V50.0.05, I run into an strange problem with the browser. Earlier I used to access sites on my browser without any problem, but after this update, things are not working as expected. Sometimes, trying to open a recently visited page from the browers's histroy, it gives an error message "Invalid server name".
The message comes several times when you try to open the site. After 3-4 attempts, the site will open. Sometime it will open the site without this "Invalid server name" message. This error happens quite frequent. Following screenshots shows the steps to reproduce this bug.
From the screenshots, you can see, I tried to open a webpage from the Browser's history (Recently Visited Pages) and it gave me the "Invalid server name" error. Btw I am done with the hard reset of my cell after this firrmware update and also did Factory settings restore but nothing actually solved this bug. Along with this error message, I sometime also get another message "Reply Unknown" when click on any link in webpage. For example: Clicking on Inbox link in rediffmail.
All these problems started only after the firmware 50. If you guys are also facing the same problems or someone was able to get rid of it, then please share your comments with everyone.

Nokia Energy Profiler is an S60 development tool that enables programmers to optimize software for maximum battery time by profiling power consumptions of applications.
Basic profiler usage: launch profiler, start measurment, launch application to be tested, exit application, stop measurments, and view captured measurment (or "trace").
Profilee operates in two modes: record and view. All measurments are done in record mode. Profiler computes power consumption by reading the built-in current meter once every 0.25s and voltage meter every 10s. Both are needed because power = current x voltage. The current measurment period can also be configured to 1 or 5s to minimize overhead from measurment activity itself in long standby cases.
Current measurment accuracy for higher than 0.4W loads is Values = 0.98x Reality. Standby measurments consume below 0. 05W. In this range, use 1 and 5s modes that will give you roughly Values = 0.7x Reality. Average power consumption is shown as a horizontal average line. The average is taken from between two consecutive gray markers. You can add markers, but you cannot remove a marker once added.
The most important indicator is the battery time shown in the op-right corner. The hours:mins format shows how long a fully-charged battery will last according to the measured average power consumption (W). There is much more for you to explore in this app. The Energy Profiler app is developed by Nokia Corporation. It works with Symbian S60 5th mobiles such as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, 5530 XpressMusic and N97.
