Nokia N95 smartphone....how smart is it?

hello , I am intending to buy a Nokia N95, the only concern that I have is that how 'Smart' is this smart phone?
what I mean is that I am currently using I-MATE smartphone2 [have experience in Blackberrry curve 8300 and O2 Xda Trion ] their interface is quite easy but more importantly efficient interface and my 'traditional' observation with NOKIA is ...well sluggish interface.I have seen nokia N73, its still NOT that 'efficient and handy' as those.Where does N95 stand? [I dont have hi-speed connection , else I would have searched for a u-tube video etc.]
your openions inthis regard will be invaluable.
Thanks in advance

Your best bet is probably to go into a store and play with an N95. I did and found the response very similar to my N80 - only slightly faster. The interface is of course, almost identical.
Re your question about customising the interface: there's not much you can do. On the main (standby) screen, there are 6 icons and two soft buttons that you can configure to open the applications of your choice, however you can't control what content from the diary or notes appears in the rest of the screen.
It sounds to me like you're looking for a business phone: you might be better off considering one of the E-series as that's more their focus. Unfortunately, with them you don't get the same great toys you do with an N95.
Only E90 seems to be distinctive.Message Edited by kenken on 13-Nov-2007 05:31 PM

Nokia N95: how do I stop it going landscape? + Cra...

My Nokia N95 will somehow just flip to landscape view.
I can't figure out how to get it back?
Can someone let me know!
Thanks.
ALSO: when I am speaking to someone on the phone... the other persons sound is crackly.
It's really getting on my nerves.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Or should I contact Nokia for a problem fix?
ALSO: when I'm speaking to someone... how do I put up or down their sound?
When speaking to someone... I've tried clicking on every button: but none of them do anything.
With most other phones. you can adjust the sound up or down while on a call.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
OM

donno about the crackly thing but u should be able to adjust the volume with the skinny little up down button on the side of the phone, when you're on a call
also sometimes my phone slides down in my pocket a little bit (revealing the music buttons) and it flips it into landscape, if i just push the screen up and down again it corrects it
hope this helps!

I like to know how to User a Nokia N95 8GB, as GPS...

Hiya Everyone,
I had download a great app called KISMAC Trunk for MAC OS X 10.5, within the app it has a GPS map, but i cannot work out how, by using my Nokia N95 8GB phone, as a GPS receiver, i can see that the N95 is getting singles from the satellites, but i would like to know if there is or is not, away for the GPS data to be able to be used by KISMAC software?
I have tried loads of thing, but i cannot get the Phone and the MAC to used the GPS data
Please can anyone shed any light how i could get a fix from my problem?
Thanks
Flouts

*nod@scoobyman*
and i can report success with [ http://www.symarctic.com/beta/static.php?page=extgps_download ]
i haven't used it in a while now, but if i recall correctly i used this app on my N95-1, and something like gpsX on my Powerbook to receive the gps data.
at the time i found these apps by searching for info on using my N95 as a GPS for google earth. i'd bet searching for info re: google earth will turn up more results than searching for info re: kismac (one is a bit more socially acceptable than the other).
goodluck,
-bit
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

How to set Volume for Nokia N95(8GB)

Hey,
I own a Nokia N95 (8GB)
works rather well...
Some how i have managed to damage the Volume Buttons on the side of the phone and my volume for my music is set to the default "Volume Level"...(Which isn't very loud)
I need some help 'how to higher the volume without using those buttons on the side'
Please,
thanks Brad

Doh!
You're right! Connect the remote (Like the AD-54) and use the remote to control the volume.

Nokia N95 8GB backed up - how to I get the contact...

My Nokia N95 8GB was backed up a couple of weeks ago. Just as well as I wrote it off this weekend by putting it in the washing machine. I have now bought another Nokia 5228 Orange phone. This one has Nokia PC Suite. The N95 8GB has Nokia N series PC suite. How can I retrieve the content from the old phone with its N series software, and put the contents into my new Nokia 5228?
Chris Brown

If you have been using the latest version of PCsuite, it may be compatible with the 5228 as well. If it is then it is as simple as restoring th backup to your new phone. Obviously there are things like phone specific settings which cannot be restored. You should at least be able to get the contacts and messages.

Nokia N95 How to print sms?

I am using Nokia N95 (not the Nokia N95 8g) My Sms (messages) are stored at the memory card. How do I print the messages?

Messages are not stored on the SIM card, but in the phone memory.
Unfortunately, the 3310 is a very old model that pre-dates PC-Connectivity so there isn't a method to copy the messages and install them to a newer model.

Setting up email on Nokia n95 8gb

Can anyone help with my problem. I have an ntl email account which I have set up on my nokia n95 8gb. I am on the vodafone network. I can send email no problem but I cannot receive them on my mobile. I have asked vodafone for help but got no where. They suggested I go to nokia website and use advance settings to configure my phone for ntl email to be set up which I have done. But because i still could't receive emails they then told me to take it to a vodafone store for them to look at which I did, they altered the settings but the problem not able to receive emails is still there. I keep getting asked for my user name and password over and over after I click ok. I have checked they are correct numerous times. Vodafone says its a problem that lies with the nokia handset and ntl !! If the ntl server isn't compatible with the handset how come I can send emails but not receive and how come nokia website gave me a code to configure my phone to set up ntl email using vodafone network. Any advice would be appreciated.
Solved!

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

Problem sync iCal with Nokia N95

I´m trying to set up iSync to synchronize my iCal (MobileMe calendars) with Nokia N95 8 Gb.
Contacts is synchronizing fine but when I try to click the check-box to define which calendars I want to sync I get this message:
"Before you can synchronize your calendars, you need to open a calendar application that supports synchronization and create at least one writable calendar."
How can I create a writable calendar in iCal???

Excellent!
Thanks Julian. I had no idea there were functions hidden behind that icon. So simple now you've shown me.
Thanks very much for your help.

Nokia N95 Call/SMS barring

Video format supported - Nokia N95

Hi,
Maybe I can be wrong, but I think that I have moved a MPEG video into Nokia N95 and it worked fine. However, I tried to do the same thing with another video file (mpeg) and it didnt work, Nokia N95 didnt recognize the file. I dont know if the reason was the lenght of the file 40mb.
I have some questions about it:
1) Which video format is supported on N95?
2) Is there a way to use any format (AVI, MPEG,..) without converting it?
Thanks.

Hi brjohnsmith
Unfortunately you are going to need to use a converter although there is a wide choice and you may find this post by el_loco whom is an authority on the subject of use:

Just one example of software available with which you can drag'n'drop YouTube files for example is Mobiola Studio:

I've noticed that when you uninstall the N-Gage aplication,
it leaves in the Nokia N95's read only memory (ROM,)
the aplication ngiinstaller.exe, this causes a death link in the
aplication menu called Games.
How do I remove this link, it's no longer needed, they sould'nt even putted the N-Gage standard in the firmware, the link does'nt delete by hand, only says that it is not removable.

HELP!! Nokia N95 restarting !! and more!!

Okay
im now on my 3rd Nokia N95 from the 02 network
the first 2 handsets had high pitch whining noise and awful sliders which were wobbling on the right hand side, appaulling workmanship, i dont even know how they were allowed to leave the Nokia Factory like this!
maybe the workers were all drunk or something?
it isnt only me thats complained of these faults, check all the other forums about the N95!
anyway, my 3rd handset has been working ok
(or so i thought)
everything was working fine, no wobbly slider, no whiny noise..
but about 3 - 4 times per day as of 3 days ago, the phone just restarts itself when its just sat there!!!
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING ?
have i now got to sent this **bleep** handset back aswell?
i dont want to drive 20 miles to nearest Nokia Service Centre, WHY should i ????
i also left my house this morning at 5.30am to take a friend to the Airport, the phone was unplugged from the Charger with full battery life, i used sat nav to get there and back, its now 9.35am and i have 2 bars left on te battery life!!
truly appauling if you ask me
will new firmware sort the resarting and battery life?
or do i have to just give up on this handset and buy another model by another Manufacturer?
im at my wits end with these N95`s

That's a typical problem for a newly released N-series. Unfortunately, this is only likely to be fixed by a firmware upgrade. Check you have the latest version. If you do: you're fresh out of luck .. for a while.

That's no surprise at all: when you use the GPS the phone is working all the time. It's kinda like you made a 4 hour (or however long the trips were) phone call. The surprise is that you have any battery left at all!
When I use my N80 for navigation, I usually have either the phone or the GPS receiver on charge virtually all the time.
It's probably no consolation right now, but most of us who bought phones soon after their release have gone through very similar teething problems and we know how hideously frustrating they are. The good news is that if you do hold out, the 2nd or 3rd firmware release normally fixes the worst of the problems and you do finally get that awesome phone you thought you'd bought.
