N95 8GB Camera question

Hi,
I just got my phone and I love it so far! but I'm puzzled as to why the camera is unprotected? Didn't the earlier version have a shutter?
I'm very careful with it, and really don't want to hide it in a custom "sock" :-) ... I'm just surprised. Why offer 5mp and a Carl Zeiss lens and leave it unprotected?

Incidentally, according to my local nokia shop, they decided not to include the shutter on the N958GB because people complained about the shutter catching on their clothes and opening in their pockets.
Sound like nonsense to you?
To be honest, yes. I've never had my N95's shutter open on its own in my pocket and it sounds more like the bloke was searching for a plausible answer to the question why the shutter was removed.
I think it was simply a way to reduce the production cost of the handset.
Maybe Nokia will consider putting it back on future models if enough people raise the concern.

Replacing N95 8GB Camera Window

Has anyone tried replacing the N95 8GB camera window? I saw this on sale online at: http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=121846&#moreinfo
But I'm not sure if this is a simple task that user can undertake on their own?
I don't think my camera window is scratched (I've been very careful with it), but it is so full of scratch-like marks. I wonder if it is some coating that is coming off.

If the lens is scratched then you can buy a replacement from www.blueunplugged.com
They should never have removed the lens shutter IMO

N95 8GB Newbie question re Text Messaging

Hello Folks,
I live in the USA an have AT&T as a provider. I am just learning my around the N95 8GB. When I try to send a text message I get a screen with two window. One is label "Text message Center" and the other has "message center number" in it. Does anyone have any idea what to put in these windows? I tied calling the local AT&T store and they had no idea.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John

Thanks for your first reply Sage.
I tried the remove the battery and SIM card suggestion but to no avail.
As mentioned in my first message, the guy at my local AT&T store seemed to have no idea what I was asking for. He said that all text messaging was "mobile to mobile."
Perhaps I need another source at AT&T or perhaps I am going down the wrong track.
If anyone else has a suggestion, please let me know. I am sure I am not the only one in the USA with AT&T who has faced this questions.
Thanks again folks.
John

N95 8GB Camera defaults

Hey people.
Im trying to find out if there is a way I can set the "User Defined" camera setting to be the default each time you turn the camera on? Im sure you used to be able to do this on the N73 but I cant for the life of me find a way to do it on the N95 8GB.
Cheers in advance.

N95 8GB Camera

Hi folks,
Anyway the sound can be disabled when a picture is taken in the camera of the N95 8GB. I know it was possible in the 6670 I used earlier.
thanks

Simply this is a new Privacy Protection Policy that Nokia is taking it seriuosly ...
the reason that you can't disable the sound of the Camera is to let the people know that you are taking a photo of them. Because as what I heared many people sued some mobile companies due to this.
Well this is the same reason also why you had a beep sound when you record a voice call .. you can't disable that too..

N95 8GB SMS question

When I receive a new SMS all I get is "one new message received". I'm sure that with other Nokia's that I've had it tells you who the SMS is from, but not with my N95. I'm on the Three network, is this something to do with the network or settings? Please advise.
Solved!

That is perfectly normal for an N95 8GB.
Some other nokia models do tell you who the message is from on the main screen but not the N95.
You can add that feature by using one of the programs below. Try the demos and see which you prefer.

N95 8GB camera light stay on all the time

I have had the N95 for 5 months and have been very pleased with it. I have now developed a problem with the camera light. not sure how or when it happened. Other than the fact the camera light stays on all the time, the only way to get the light off is to remove the battery...!!!
Is there a simple solution or does this need to be returned for repair

Hi I've been having this same problem this week! I'm going to wipe my phone and re-install the software update and see if that works, otherwise it's off to Vodaphone to be repaired
It's strange it's just suddenly started doing it, and it's been a while since I first installed the latest update, when it came out.

N95 8gb notes question

I have a lot of notes on my n95 and was just wondering if I can save them to my laptop somehow then delete them off my phone? Was thinking maybe synch with PC suite or back-up?

Hi, if you have an Ovi Account you can use it to sync your phone , just set phone details, they'll txt the settings to your phone and you can then sync contacts, calendar and notes OTA and save them in your Ovi Account, I use it regularly (plus if you;d deleted them and needed them you can get them back by syncing away from a computer !)
Good Luck

N95 8gb camera sounds

I know probably smb asked this before, but I just couldn't find an answer to my problem. I want to take out the sound when taking a picture. Without swithcing the phone to the Silent mode or delete the sound from the phone memory.
Please help!

It's not possible to disable the "click" that the camera makes. This is done to protect the privacy of people - to ensure that people don't inadvertently get their pictures clicked.
Strange, though, that on S40 phones, there is an option for disabling these sounds.

N95 8GB Camera Over-Exposure

Ok, so I've had my N95 a while now and I cannot take pictures with it, due to the fact that it over exposes every single picture I take. I've tried changing every setting on it and it stil won't change.
An example is attached.
And this happens on pretty much every picture I take, to varying degrees.
ANy help?

If it's still that bad after the update then it's most likely a fault. Take it to a nokia care point for inspection.

N95 8GB compatibility question

how comes that almost every application I come accross which is for Symbian system is not compatible with this phone, even if it is compatible with N96 for example (here is an example - the Text-to-speech http://europe.nokia.com/A4286225 and themobile dictionary.
what the *&#$??? it is a real bummer

S60 is the Nokia addition over the Symbian underlying operation system. S60 is the smartphones platform (N and E series, as well as some other series). 3, 3.1, 3.2 means 3rd edition and the .1/.2 means Feature pack (FP). The edition should be though as the version of Windows (XP, for example), while the Feature pack shall be treated as Service pack. While the edition implies major system changes, the feature pack adds some not so dramatic system changes. For example, the 3rd edition of S60 was shipped with changed security, caching, kernel modifications and graphics; S60 5th edition is available for the newer touch devices (5800 and N97). When choosing application, you need to look for those stated as compatible with S60 3rd editions (also written as S60.3 or S60 3). Feature packs built upon the existing edition mostly in terms of applications. Feature pack 1, for example, brought alarm clock with multiple alarms, as well as alarm sounding when the phone is off. In general, simple applications written for given edition will be compatible across the feature packs, but will fail on another edition. So, S60 3.1 applications will probably work on S60 3.2, but not on S60 2 or S60 5. This does not apply for all applications, though. You can read more about S60 here:
