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

I saw some build quality issues highlighted on a review: you'd think they'd at least check phones that were going to reviewers!

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.

  • Nokia N95 send and recieve text problems

    I have just bought the Nokia N95 and am not able to send or receive text messages. I can make calls, so I know that the service provider is correct.
    I also phoned the help service of my provider who took me through the settings of network selection but it still won’t send or receive messages.
    My messages I write go to out box but just display as failed. They also just display the number for the contact and not the name.
    I don’t yet have a micro SD card installed so am reliant on the SIM and internal memory. From what I see the memory is not full either.
    Am I missing something?
    I’ve done this for settings: Main menu – Tools – Settings – Phone – Network – Operator selection – Options – Change – Manual – then it Searches – I choose anything other than my provider such as O2 or Tmobile and it says not allowed – then I choose my provider which it gives me confirmation of my home provider. I switch off the phone and then back on again so I am on the correct network. Still can’t send or receive any texts.
    Has anyone had this happen to them and do you have the solution?
    Many thanks

    Your message center is provably not configured correctly. Go to message setting then message center. Ask your provider what is the message center number or get someone who have the same provider as you are & note down the message center & put it in your phone. If the message center is correct, you'll provably have software problem. Backup your phone & format your phone. Codes are in the sticky tread for codes.

  • Nokia N95 8GB and Windows 7 Home Premium Dutch

    :robotmad:Ladies and readers, I have, including a Nokia N95 8GB the desktop is new and draaid on windows home premium en when I Vista had worked with the Nokia everything is perfect. Now that I do I get windows 7 have not been contract more Nokia N95 8GB through the desktop computer get the notification that the software is not good, but which I have already removed and again installed but there is also clear the need to install software that it is old windows and vista so there is not to WINDOWS 7 I will take place this is a major disaster for Nokia that, over time inspeeld on a real upgrade for the desktop so that there is also normal contact with the Nokia N95 8GB can be made. why it is not on the openingspagina of Nokia if it would have been! We are nevertheless service to clients and should do so we get a good appliance bought and not a WHICH CANNOT comuniseren with the computer since Microsoft now Windows 7 sells and what I am therefore in the original state I can install by an approved fitter. Therefore, I would like to see that Nokia a link sends so that I can make both wireless contact and the mobiletelefoon can facilitate upgrading and data can uitwissellen. Otherwise, this after 3 pieces my last Nokia. vetaling Babylon

    Dude i think u just spoke french!
    Sorry to say that i didnt get a word that you said.
    I assume you have upgraded to windows 7 and are unable to use or install nokia pc suite.
    First of all it aint nokia's fault that windows 7 came after they had uploaded the setup.
    All you need to do is download the pc suite to you computer or laptop or whatever it is ... then right click on the setup and click compatibility mode nd just keep pressing next next next.
    Im sure your pc suite will be installed then and you will be able to use your computer to transfer everything to and from the phone..
    Have fun and lemme know if it worked.
    Chances of workin = 101% because im on windows 7 aswell

    USA and see if they have any materials that they could send you. Otherwise, I don't know if you have access to Facebook or something like that, you could set up a site there? What most people do though, is get together a user's group and meet to discuss all things Apple.

  • Alright I give! I need some help with groups/busses and more please..

    Hi all,
    Well, its now been a few weeks of my off and on testing with my new Logic Rig, I have every plug I can transfer over to UB that I can and now am trying to get deeper into things.
    First I struggled with learning the environment (I still dont get it fully) but now I am really confused about group and fx tracks.
    - Am I missing something or is everything just a buss turned into a group? This also included creating an FX track?
    If this is the case then its not nearly as complex as I think it is but I cant figure certain things out with the way logic handles naming in regards to its busses.
    Lets say I want to create a sidechain group. I take an audio track change it to represent buss (1), I then rename buss 1 to SC-GROUP, now any window that I drop down to find the newly names SC-GROUP always remains named as buss (1). This even happens when I rename the buss direct from the audio environment.
    I must be missing something, whats been confusing the heck out of me is that no matter how I try and name things they always remain their original names in any menues as the example of the buss (1), so how do I rename these channels so I can clearly know exactly where I am routing audio?
    So lets summarise where I am lost so far hehe.
    1. Are groups really just empty busses renamed to act as a group?
    2. How can I rename a buss/group and be able to see the renamed channel in the menues.
    and for the 3rd new question of sorts...
    3. FX Sends, again is this just a buss that has an AU inserted into its channel and then rout the insert of an additional audio channel to the buss with the FX inserted?
    and now my last uestion of the day if I have not confused you to death so far
    Why is it that when I add a AU lets say battery as instrument 1, when I add another in the window and I rerout an instrum,ent track the next AU shows up at the bottom of the list instead of inst. 2?
    If I am not explaining myself clearly enough for any of my examples let me know so I can try to better represent my questions. I am still so new to Logic and still have yet to get the bulk of the simple operations down just yet..
    Thanks again for all your asistance!

    Thank you guys,
    So if I understand right, a sub buss is nothing more than a routing the output of a few channels to a buss to control a few aspects like I had mentioned compressing an entire group of tracks EG: a drum buss (in this situation a drum sub buss?).
    So I will have to reffer to the manual again to read the details on an actual group since it does seem there is a difference EG: the group can actually manipulate the faders of channels routed to the group?
    FX busses seem to be just that, slap an FX info either and AUX channel or a buss and then set the insert of that AUX or buss desired.
    The reason I asked about naming is that lets say I have 6 effects tracks I wish to use lets say as an example AUX1=Short Delay, AUX2=Long Filter Delay, AUX3=Slap Verb, AUX4=Long Verb and so forth.
    When I go to actually use these inserts I need to assume I know exactly what AUX I assigned each effect to, if I could simply rename this AUX track to refference the effect it would make so much more sense then trying to remember what AUX5 was.
    In regards to my last question here is a bit more of a detailed explanation, please bare with me as I am not in front of my computer.
    1. I add battery into Audio Instrument-1
    2. I then configure my environemt to use my AUXs I already have inplace for audio routing.
    3. I then edit the Audio window create the midi for a new multi-instrument.
    4. I come back to the main arrange window and hold-click on the next available audio-instrument and in the instrument window battery will be instrument 1 out of how ever many blanks apear EG:25+
    5. Now I go to add lets say Stylus RMX into the next available mutli audio instrument. I then repeat steps 2,3,4.
    Now when I get to step 4 this time instead of audio instrument 2 from the lint being Stylus it shows up as the last possible instrument in the drop list that appears under audio instrument from hold-click on the audio-instrument track.
    Its just odd, it should be instrument 2, but instead it shows up as the last possible choice.
    Maybe I am doing something wrong, even sometimes when I grab on of batteries midi tracks and create next object I will get a random audio track in there out of no where, or maybe its just a bug with battery.
    Any ideas? If I still am not describing this right, I will post a step by step this eve of exactly the steps I am taking.
    Thanks again, this forum has been very helpful in getting me going with the questions I just cant seem to get around from my Nuendo work flow.
    Cheers!

  • I need help on back up and more storage for photos and videos.  I have a imac (500g) that I back up to a 500g hard drive using time machine.  How do I set up a larger hd and back that up as well?

    I can buy a 1T hd to store photos and videos to, but would need a second one to back that up as well?  I guess I need to know how to get aperture and iphoto to keep my photos on a larger drive and how to keep both the imac and that larger hd backed up.  Note- we can't get  DSL, so off site back up isn't a viable option.

    Move your photo and video libraries to an external HD. Apple explains how to do this in:

  • Nokia n95 8gb moisture in camera lens - HELP

    Hi, I have Nokia n95 8gb and while have been in a shower I have left it in the bathroom and now my lenses are moistured/water from inside of camera/lens. How can I fix/dry this?
    PLEASEEE HELP ME.

    Many people take the phone into the bathroom whilst taking a bath or shower not realising this actually harms your phone!
    Steam has entered the phone and turned to condensation and this is never good for an electrical product.
    This will probably cause you many problems sooner or later, but for now remove the battery as having the battery in the phone whilst it is still wet is damaging your phone with current from the battery surging through all those components joint together inside with water.
    Then put the phone in a warm dry place, where you have your boiler for your home as an example, and leave it there for a few days.
    This should dry out any liquid there is inside the phone but only time will tell of the amount of damage has occured.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.

    Then i set this options - the A-GPS working again... And GPS position in any application fix about 30 seconds.
    If it not resolved you problem try visit you local Nokia care center ... 
    Few month ago i fixed this problem ( problems was been founded in hardware in my N95-1 ) 
    Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

  • Nokia N95 - unable to activate mass storage mode

    I'm having trouble with my Nokia N95 8Gb and mass storage mode.
    WWhen I can eventually activate this mode after shutting down apps (just intellisync and location tracker), it usually lasts no more than 90s before the phone reboots itself.
    This makes copying music rather difficult since
    - The music apps on pcsuite/nseries pcsuite are useless and crash on any attempt to sync (Vista x64)
    - Nokia music doesn't see the phone
    - file copy in pcsync is slow
    - USB mass storage mode doesn't work (ie for using iTunes sync)
    I'm on the v20 software.
    Any ideas?
    I love my N95 8Gb -- but this is why people but iPhones/iPods... it's just too hard.

    Thanks for the hint. However I'd rather not do this just yet. I'd prefer to figure out which app is in error.
    So Q: Can one retrieve the cause of a phone crashing/rebooting? Is there a "system dump" ????.........
    Point taken, but more often than not it's the O/S itself that is causing a problem, hence the need to perform the reset. And I don't think there is a core dump anywhere that you can examine. Even if there was, would it mean anything to you? You don't know what system variables are where (there won't be any debug symbols) and I'd challenge you to reverse engineer the system stack (if you knew where it was) in order to find the point in execution where the failure occurs.
    This is, of course, assuming it is a software problem. If the problem persists after a reset and, optionally, a firmware reinstall, then it could well be a hardware problem that a Nokia Care Point should take a look at.

    hello i just got my nokia n95 8gb, and in the manual on pg 95 it says the phone has a auto screen rotate feature under setting>General>personalisation>display>screen rotate
    but there is no such setting in my phone??
    I have V15 firmware. please help, thanks

    No, when v20 is released into NSU it will be there. Just keep checking for it here. I'm sure when V20 comes out it will be big news.
    Also I recommend you check what new "features" this v20 may have as you may want to stay in v15 if you don't want some of the "new features".

  • Nokia N95 8gb Internet Explorer problem!

    Hi all! I have nokia n95 8gb and let one of my friends use it to surf the net. Now when I try to work on the internet explorer, the connection keeps dropping off. I have checked and it's not my router which is the cause of it. Unfortunately my firewall and antivirus protection was not on while I gave my friend my phone to use. I have scanned the phone and nothing is coming up in the antivirus scan. There seems to be this message that comes up every so often when I am working on internet explorer and it's as following:
    "/c:/system/dmgr/1008d39/contents/st.."
    I am afraid there might be some malicious file that got downloaded onto my phone. Not too sure as to what is happening. If anyone has experienced a similar problem or can help me with this problem then I would really appreciate the help.

    So I have been going through my history to find out what pages were opened that day and found out that the file 'st' is automatically downloading only when I open any livejournal page and then it diverts to the '\c:\system\dmgr\...' message. I have downloaded and run the KMS antivirus software but it doesn't pick anything up. All other websites that I visit are fine but when I open livejournal the 'st' file automatically starts downloading and then diverts to the page along with disconnecting from the WLAN.
    I have downloaded the y-browser and deleted the respective file from c drive but everytime I try to access livejournal, that file starts up again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should try to deal with this? I would really appreciate the help. Cheers!
