N95 8GB - cannot connect to PC

Hi - read about this problem from a few people - I have just got a brand new N95 8GB from O2. Installed the cd software but it would just not find the phone using the USB.
Ive tried different USB cables and ports to no avail.
Ive uninstalled the software from the CD and installed the latest software suite. no joy.
Ive set the phone to Phone Suite as opposed to mass data. No joy.
Ive connected my Blackberry to the same usb cable and port and it connects fine.
What is the issue here?? Anyone help?!

try going to your control panel > add/remove programs
look for an application named PC connectivity solution and select Change > Repair

N95 8gb BT Connection Problem With BMW 5 series

Hello everyone,
I hope someone could help me with this. I just got my N95 8 gb & I have tried to connect my phone to my BMW58610 BT but it seems like it constanly drop ny itself & then coneecting again & drop & connect. I do not know how to get this problem fix. 20.2.005 30-04-08 RM-421.
And then sometimes one folder will be missing by itself for example the n-gage folder will disappear & then it will come back within seconds or maps folder will disappear & will appears back.
I would really appreciate any suggestions or help!

I had a situation whereby my N95 8gb will connect to my iDrive and sometimes after a while, when I make a call, I can hear the person I am calling but they can't hear me. This is what I have learnt from trial and error since.
I tried everything to resolve this so I am not sure which actually fixed it so I'll tell you all I did. I updated firmware on both phone (V20) and car. Deleted all pairings on both phone and car. Repaired. I must have deleted pairings and repaired at least half a dozen times before the problem mysteriously disappeared.
Another thing I have noticed is, it is better to leave the phone for a few minutes after it has connected, to allow it to download all the contacts before using it. I have had the bluetooth disconnect or the HUD malfunction when I use the phone straight away.
I had to do the same with my N96 before it would work satisfactorily. My N80, however had no such problems. Strange.

N95 8GB cannot view gallery photos/ uploads photos...

Hiya,
I have had the same problem with my N95 8GB with viewing photos in my gallery!
I have now got my 5th replacement handset (Orange) since August 29th due to various faults and issues. The main one being trying to transfer photos from my PC to my mobile via the Nokia PC Suite or just via USB cable. Both of which when I try to then go into the gallery view on the phone caused it to freeze. Unable to view any images!
This keeps happening, and I have even tried running the 'N series installation disk' and still the same issues. I thought that such a good spec phone with 8GB memory would be able to hand just 2 jpeg images without freezing!
Has anyone else had the same problem or am I just unlucky? I have got up to date anti virus software on my PC, and have tried different images each time. My previous phone (n95) was able to upload and export pics and music to my PC no problems ever!

yes it is very odd!
Well I have tried to just loads 2 images from the laptop onto my mobile. I have tried doing a direct file transfer (mass media) and then also tried through Nokia PC suite-uploaded via the CD rom I was given.On both occasions this has been uncessful to view images from the gallery menu on the phone..crashes!
I think the photos are actually on the phone under the file manager folder I can find them stored here. However on opening the gallery to try and view these files, the phone freezes and I am unable to exit the menu -using the 'back' button have to press the red phone cancel button. Once out of the gallery folder and back to the main screen I can then no longer access and shortcut menus for about 3mins. Very frustrating. The most recent phone I have now, I got 2 days ago-I've not even plugged into my laptop, and when asking a friend to send me images via bluetooth I cannot open this either!! (it comes as a text format from bluetooth) and on opening the phone just freezes again. I try to save this when asked to mass memory and not phone memory.
I can take images on my 'phone camera' but again cannot view as unable to access the gallery-constantly freezes the phone.The images are not a large file just jpeg format for example 45KB another one I tried was much larger 1MB...
I still don't understand why this is happening all the time!!! Many thanks for your help.... (Orange are going to send me a new sim card to try) and see if this helps.

N95 8GB - Cannot delete any music files ??

N95 8GB
I have install some music, but have tried deleting them, via the Nokia PC Suite, and via the phone and via PC windows explorer.
But nothing happens.
You get the 'files being deleted' message, but the phone just seems to die. You then have to switch off and on again. And no files have been deleted.

i had the same issue with my e90 and my n900.
the only way i was able to get rid of them was to connect to my pc via cable and then delete from my pc.
give it a try. see if that helps you.

N95 - GPS cannot connect

Hi all,
I have just gotten my N95, but i just cannot seem to get the gps to work.
the map of denmark is in place, but the gps cannot find its position, rendering it absolutely useless!
is there anywhere i can help it along, telling it where i am or so?
has anyone had the same problem? i can get no connection to any satelites....

Hi teepee
I suggest you open GPS data application to monitor situation.
Make sure you are clear of buildings, phone with slider open at 45degrees and don't cover # key on keypad under which antenna resides.
Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > GPS data > Position > Open > Options > Satellite status > Open
You will see 5 empty rectangle outlines, you need a minimum of three solid black rectangles for triangulation, but usually get four for lock-on postion.
If you don't get any solid bars by 20 mins your GPS isn't working!

Nokia N95 8GB 3G "Connection Error"

Hi all, when i use my 4 month old phone i was only experincing a small number of drop outs, now all i get is a connection error or network busy error everytime i try to make a call & incomming calls go straight to message bank. I did a factory rest on the phone settings & things seemed to work for a little while, but then stopped again. so i switched the phone to only use GSM & supprise supprise it works all the time now!! put it back onto umts & it wont connect, or into dual mode it may work sometimes!!
what can i do to get this problem fixed? it is the phone as i put the sim in another phone it appears to work fine (but that was a GSM phone that i used to) im with optus & rely heavily on my phone for business!! i just want it to work so i can be contactable 24hrs
Cheers

Had the same issue. My bet is you are trying to use a Telstra Next-G card in a non-Telsrtra Next-G phone.
The software is not compatible. You will need a Next-G phone.
I had to purchase two new phones N95 and 6120. Problem soleved.
The real issue is that sales staff do not really understand the difference between 3G and NextG.

Nokia N95 8gb cannot hear anything when I call out...

When making calls to other mobiles I cannot hear the ringing or the other person but they can hear me. This is very frustrating and costs me a lot of money because it takes four calls to get it to work correctly.
I have tried switching to loud speaker and that does not work. I have the latest software.
There is no noise at all, no ringing, no talking from the other side. The person on the other side can definately hear me though.
It is weird because it works fine on the third or fourth try.
Please help, I dont want to send my phone away to be repaired unless necessary.

hi,
you might want to try the following 1st...
re-start your phone, just turn it off and turn it on again
if that doesnt help then you can try this more drastic measure, but 1st make a backup of your phone's content by going to the memory card and make backup and/or use Nokia PC suite to make a backup, then try the Soft Reset or Hard-Reset: Remember to backup specially for hard-reset, all your phone's content will be erased.
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
if this doesnt help contact Nokia Care Point-> http://europe.nokia.com/A4388379
if you are not comfortable with the hard-reset and it is easy for you to go to the nearest Nokia Care Point, then just go there for help...

ZEN 8gb cannot connect to

It used to be working fine until now when I try to connect it to PC using the usb cable, there is the connecting sound but repeated thrice quickly (deng deng deng) and nothing happens. When I remove the usb cable there is a disconnecting sound (ding deng) as per norm. Any solutions? The browse memory card function works though.
Btw this only happened after I upgraded to XP pro service pack 3?

Have you checked Windows Device Manager to see if your player is recognized there? The pairing between the driver and your player may have been corrupted somewhere along the way either before, during, or after your SP3 installation, you may just need to update the driver from Device Manager (doesn't really involve an update, you just tell it to use the drivers that are already on the system.)

N95 8GB Auto Connect Apps (e.g. Gmail)

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can get all my apps to auto connect to the internet?
I have some apps like google maps, Gmail and want them to auto connect and stop asking me if its ok for them to connect and then choose a connection (e.g. Wifi or GPRS/3G).
Is this possible?
Thanks,
DOS.

This could could cost you a lot of money if you are not on an unlimited data package.
Anyway, the procedure is different for each application. Somewhere in the settings menu for each application you will usually find a setting for Access Points. You want to change this from "Always Ask" to "Auto" or the name of your packet data connection.

N95 8GB won't connect to EAP-TLS secured WLAN

Hi all,
Has anyone succeeded in connecting to EAP-TLS secured wifi network? I have an N95 8GB with the latest firmware (updated yesterday) that cannot connect to my office wlan.
I’ve been reading this forum (and others google found) and here’s what I’ve done:
* defined an access point with 802.1x security mode and EAP-TLS
* exported the certificate from my IE, imported it into the phone and selected it in the Personal Certificate filed
* selected the accompanying rootCA certificate as Authority Certificate (tried leaving it blank as well)
* tried different Ciphers just in case
Every connection attempt results in "EAP-TLS authentication failed" and I’m never asked for password.
I’ve been talking to our admin (I’m afraid he’ll start to hate me before too long ) and found out that after the firmware upgrade and a couple of hours of trying this-or-that I’ve managed to have proper username sent to the server. But the message remains.
Here’s a part of the event log forwarded to me by the admin (fully qualified username is stripped by him but it seems to be correct):
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: IAS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2
Client-Friendly-Name = wifi2
NAS-Port-Type = Wireless - IEEE 802.11
NAS-Port = 46
Proxy-Policy-Name = Use Windows authentication for all users
Authentication-Provider = Windows
Authentication-Server =
Policy-Name = wifi
Authentication-Type = EAP
EAP-Type =
Reason-Code = 22
Reason = The client could not be authenticated because the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Type cannot be processed by the server
As far as I can see my nokia cannot use a proper EAP-Type. Does anyone have a clue on what to do?
George
P.S. I believe we are using Radius server and a google search for the stated Reason gives a number of Radius-related results, but they describe cases when PC's cannot connect. I can connect to the wlan with my laptop with no prob (but it asks for credentials each time - don't know if it matters).

Hi
Even I am facing the same problem.
However Opera 8.65 is working fine with the said configuration

ISync cannot find my handset (N95 8GB)

there is a lot of troubles with contecting N95 8gb to Mac:
1. iSync is not responding to USB connection, it says: NO DEVICE FOUND
2. when starting connection with Mac via USB connection, there is info message coming out, "USB CONNECTION IN USE, MASS MEMORY CANNOT BE USED". anyhow transfers are working fine. another thing is when you're done, there is no option in the handset how to end the connection, so logically you do it on computer, you eject the device. then there is info message coming out (for half a second), "DATA CABLE NOW CAN BE REMOVED". is about three seconds later coming second info message telling you "DATA MAY HAVE BEEN LOST. DATA TRANSFERS SHOULD BE STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING CABLE."
data is not lost, but here comes the best bit: i want to listen to music that i put inside, and the music player is just frozen, for around 20 to 30 minutes.
Same thing happens with camera sometimes, you make a pict, then you wanna show it to your mate, review is just frozen, and often happens that you jsut give up to wait for "LOADING" message.
didn't even try GPS yet
!N95 8GB is the most expensive handset on the market (not counting VERTU and designer pieces) you want it to be ready to go, not to lookout for firmware updates etc.
NOKIA boooo!

this happens when apps on the phone are using the memory card. for example, if your Messaging app (SMS, MMS, EMAIL) stores its data on the card, rather than internal memory, then you will get this message. make sure all applications are closed before trying to use the card. or use PC Suite mode instead, and use the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application. This application provides access to the memory card through a proxy application on the phone, rather than direct physical access (the proxy is invisible to you, you just drag and drop files, the app on the phone is told where to place the files, it works fine).

the DATA MAY BE LOST message is due to a bug macosx (someone correct me if i'm wrong). i have the SAME PROBLEM with my 8GB thumbdrive. i believe macosx is attempting to poll the device to remount it after i have manually ejected it. i have found that if i wait about 60seconds after unmounting that either 1) it automatically remounts, or 2) if i remove the usb drive, i get no error message.
i am curious about the music player app. on my n95-1, when i push new music onto my phone via Nokia Multimedia Transfer, i have to manually REFRESH to music library. perhaps your n95-8gb is doing this automatically? i only push 600MB of music to my microsd card and it takes a good 5 minutes to refresh, if you are pushing 3GB of music then this behavior makes sense to me (although it is unfortunate the Nokia Multimedia TRansfer doesn't do this for us). i wonder how your phone reacts to uploads from the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app? why would you possibly push music to the phone without using Nok..Mult..Trans..?

have you updated to the latest firmware? perhaps someone with your model of phone can provide insight to this.
when you do try the gps - make sure you turn A-GPS on and set a proper access point for it to use. look in
Tools->Settings->General->Positioning
(this is the where my settings are in my n95-1)

i cant disagree with you, but neither can i agree with you. i LOVE my N95-1. some features are not very cleanly implemented - like a race horse that stumbles fairly often, but the leanest fastest most hardcore race horse out there. if you want a smooth ride, i'm sorry. this horse doesn't trot. if you want an exhilarating ride, hold tight, it doesn't l=take long to get accustomed to the stumbles and figure out how to avoid them - then teh ride is fantastic.
good luck
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)

Connection to the phone was lost - N95 8GB

It's progress, but I still cannot update my N95 8GB.
With a previous version of Suite, it wouldn't even download the update, gave me 12017 error. Now I get a shiny new error with the Beta version of Suite - 3.4.
It gets to the stage of telling me the phone will restart, but instead just gives me a full shutdown and the connection ends up being lost. I've tried on different computers, different USB slots - same deal every time.
12052 is the error I end up with when I give and cancel the update. 'There is a problem installing software to your phone' it helpfully informs me.
Any ideas? I've been trying to update this phone for months!

Try a reinstall on Nokia Suite and also you could try Over the Air update by navigating to SW UPDATE application your N8. Alternatively, if you type *#0000# into your keypad, you can update from tehre too.

Cannot Get Maps 2.0 to work on my N95 8GB

Hi there everyone! Just a quick one..
Ive got a N95 8GB, i recently updated to Nokia Maps 2.0 using PC Suite etc..
It all works and i can move around and search for addresses so i THINK I am connected to a sattelite!
Only thing is, my position is wrong, on my mates phone it follows him where he goes where mine stays stationary??
Also I want to enable voice guidance etc but i cannot figure it out. I have gone to extras and drive + walk but even if i pick Vodafone Internet or a WLAN network it says failed...
Anyone have any ideas on ways to get around this or 3rd party applications that have voice guidance and WORK lol
Thanks in advance!

Hi raha_ang
Unfortunately I didn't pick up on Walk & Drive which is a Vodaphone specific application and you would have to contact them regarding issues. I know that there have been problems on N96 where it say "update available" yet connection cannot be made.
In an "unbranded" N95 8GB you would find if you go to Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalization - now scroll down to bottom of screen and below "Factory settings" there is "Positioning" - in "Positioning methods" there should be a red tick beside Assisted GPS, Integrated GPS and Network based.
In "Positioning server" the server address = supl.nokia.com
Please check in "Positioning methods" that "Bluetooth GPS" is not enabled and "Integrated GPS" is enabled (Red tick)
