N95 8GB contacts view

On previous Nokias I have been able to change the way a contact is displayed (ie. just as a name or name & number).
I can't seem to find a way of changing this on my N95 8GB.
Anyone help please??
Cheers.

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 - Appointment view in standby mode

Hello
Please can someone help me. I use the calander option heavily on my n95 8gb phone. I have read somewhere that in standby mode it is supposed to display the next 3 appointments over the next 48 hours. Mine only shows one. Where do I set this up and how can I configure it? On a similar subject (I'm sure it is in the same place) how can I disply my to-do's rather than just the number of them that I have to do! It's quite depressing to see the number of things I need to do rather than a prompt to do them!
I hope someone can help. I look forward to hearing from you all.
Regards

dont say thanx dude ,i did not solve ya problem
As for prompt response,i did it because,because,because
Forgot what i was going to say,forget things &appointments
But hey dont lose hope someone will give ya better answer then me ok dude chill
bad can always be made good...it needs that determination!!!

N95 8gb contact list missing

I have a Nokia N95 and when i go to my contacts none of the contacts appear and there is no "options" just "exit". The numbers are still in my simcard or phone as when people call me their name still appears. I just cannot see anyones number. Can someone help me please???????
i also tried backing up the files to my computer but d backup came up with read error!
i badly need those contacts!

Hey giri_92003,
Welcome to the discussion board!
Have you tried to perform a soft reset, as this might help (*#7780#) to check if the options in Contacts comes back?
Also I would recommend you to try saving your contacts on Nokia Suite, not by doing a backup but by synchronising them on this software so you will be able to retrieve them after a reset.
Once all your contacts are copied on Nokia Suite then disconnect the phone from your computer and try to perform a hard reset *#7370# security code 12345.
Before performing this reset remember to save your data on Ovi suite.
What error do you get when you try to backup your files?
You can also have a look to this thread, as it might help you regarding the Backup issue.
Hope this helps!

Can't find contacts on N95 8GB

Hi there. Just got my new N95 8GB -2 & when i add a new contact i can find it by scrolling all the way down but not by one letter. eg I have entered a contact just as M but when i go contacts> M , i get a list of everything with M starting at A!! eg Alan M,Bob m & so on -How do i set up to get it (1st letter) as 1st choice as with all my other phones? Have tried First name or surname but makes no difference......... Can anyone help?

Not giving excuses for Nokia.
But the way the search function seems to work is that when you type M it brings up all the contacts that contain M in it, in alphabetical order.
But if you have many many names then as you type it starts filtering them.
This is how Video Center and Music Player works as well. So it's a bit of backwards logic you think but really I think there's a reason.
Say you have many contacts saved. Now you know that this person first or last name starts with ME, but you don't know if it's the last or first name or that ME may be part of the name but not at the beginning then as you type ME it will bring all the contacts that have ME either at the beginning the middle or wherever.
So there's some logic to it but maybe not a lot...

Copy contacts between PC and Nokia N95 8GB without...

Hello...
I have Nokia N95 8GB.
I have 300 contacts stored on my PC from previous phone which was Nokia N90. What I want to do is to copy my contacts from my PC to my Nokia. But without PC Suite, without any synchro, just to copy them like in windows explorer, copy folder and paste folder.
Is this possible? I mean, I can do this, but don't know where to place them inside Nokia folder tree - I want them to be visible inside address book...
Thanx!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure this will resolve your problem but you could try with this.
1. Remove Previous phone plugins from Library/phone plugins (If any files are there)
2. Delete files from User/Library/caches/
3. Remove chaches from System/library/chaches
4. Download and install iSync plugin from Nokia website
Make sure you have installed all available updates from Apple using Software Update and your phone firmware is updated.
Are you getting any specific error messages?

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.

N95 8GB SMS contacts display

Hey all
(be nice, im new )
Just got my n95 8GB today and it's awesome, but i'm having trouble with contacts in the inbox -
what happens currently is when i get a message in it displays last name, first name - ie Smith Bob, instead of Bob Smith
Does anyone know how to change this so that it doesn't happen?
I've tried changing the settings in the contacts list but it doesn't seem to help.

There is no setting for it unfortunatley...
The best way to cure this if it really is an issue ( although time consuming) would be to swap the names around in first name last name i.e.
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Smith
Shows as Smith Bob in SMS
Make it
First Name: Smith
Last Name: Bob
Shows as bob Smith in a message...
Good luck

Copy & Edit Contacts from N95 8GB to PC WITHOUT Sm...

Is it possible to Copy & Edit Contacts from my N95 8GB to my PC WITHOUT Smart Suite as I want them in CSV format so I can fiddle with them on a spreadsheet.
I hate SmartSuite - I find it too much of a bind - in CSV format on one page in Excell would be great!!
Many thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Smartsuite?
Nokia PC Suite's Communication Centre can export your phone contacts to a CSV file. If you don't want to do this then you can copy all of the contacts (again in communication centre) and paste them into a place of your choice on the PC and look for another application to get the data into a CSV file.

N95 8GB connect to a USB Device

As the title says, is it possible to connect the N95 8GB to a external USB Device like a USB Hard Drive so that files from the hard drive can be viewed on the N95.
I would suppose you would need to use additional software for this task.
Any comments.

Power (+5V) is not the problem as long as the usb device has an external power supply. Most (if not all) nokia phones use 3.6 - 3.7 V battery, but, despite that, nokia phones could produce 5V from 3.7V battery with special hardware. Else, there could be a limitation of simultaneously using the phone charger (that provides 5V to the phone) when connecting a usb device to nokia phone. So, power is not the problem.
Lets look to signals (D+ and D-). According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb , Transmitted signal levels are 0.0 – 0.3 V for low and 2.8 – 3.6 V for high in full speed (FS) and low speed (LS) modes, and −10 – 10 mV for low and 360 – 440 mV for high in hi-speed (HS) mode. So 3.7V battery is capable of USB signaling, too.
Additionally, most (if not all) ARM processors that are inside Nokia phones, have one USB client port and at least one USB Host port (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0). For examble, old Nokia 7610 is equiped with ARM processor OMAP 1510, that has one client USB port and one USB 1.1 HOST port. (Mention that 7610 does not have usb port. It has pop-port that includes required 4 USB signals: VBUS, Ground, D+ and D-). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-port .
What is the problem: It's just, Nokia manufacturer does not make use of ARM processor's USB Host port contacts. Also there is not an addtional micro USB port (more space required), and of course there is not software supporting USB Host capability.
Consider, also, that adding USB Host capability to small sized Nokia super phones, that have not big enough battery capacity, then, the battery would be exhausted soon. That's not good for marketing.
So, if you want to add USB Host port to Nokia phone, then:
1) Locate processor and USB Host port contacts ( if you are able to do it, because of FBGA processor type)
2) Provide 5V to USB device.
3) Write some code and install it in Nokia phone.
--- It doesn't worth it. Too much trouble !!! ----
One other method, would be a SDIO to USB Host Controller Card, connected to micro SD port of some Nokia phones. But, only CF Card to USB Host exists in the market for over 130$. SDIO to USB Host Hardware Development kit costs a lot and are big enough.
Can anyone build something using Maxim ICs MAX3420 or MAX3421E (USB Peripheral Controller with SPI Interface), and connect it to SD card slot supporting SDIO (SD uses SPI interface!!!) ????????????

N95 8GB reboots periodically in data transfer mode

I have a new N95 8GB running firmware v20. Unfortunately, when I use the genuine USB cable and select "Data Transfer Mode" the phone reboots 60 seconds after I connect the cable (and thereafter each 60 seconds when I don't touch the phone).
I have tried with a non-genuine cable and the behaviour is the same.
Coincidentally the "Power Save Time-out" is set to 60 seconds. When I change this to another value, say 40 seconds, then the above rebooting happens every 40 seconds.
This appears to be a phone bug and makes it extremely difficult to use data transfer mode, unless you can transfer files within the power save time-out period, or unless you are prepared to press a button on the phone within this period.
**Nokia please fix this**
See related post: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=81967&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

Well,rotateme works perfectly for me and i have a n95 8gb too.So there are two things that might happening.
1.You are doing something wrong with the whole installation(does rotateme works when you install it?)
2.You downloaded your self a corrapted or somekind of a virus or a bug .sis file and installed it to your phone.
Why dont you try to download one other rotateme file for you?You can find plenty rotateme from a lot of users.I can send you mine,if you want send me an e-mail and i`ll send to you the .sis file that i used and as i said,it works fine for me.
Peace

N95 8Gb - no longer able to pair with Jabra BT8040

Hi,
Last week I was prompted to upgrade the software on my N95 8Gb after being prompted. So I backup the phone (everthing ticked) and then upgraded to software v30.0.018, 23-07-08, RM-320, Nokia N95 (94.01). The upgrade when ahead without any issues, and I restored all the settings from the backup. All was working fine as it was before contacts, data, ringtones etc, except when I when to use the Jabra BT8040 headset (which was previously working). The headset wasn't in the paired listing, so I try starting from scratch. The headset when it is turned on always goes into pairing mode, so I tried searching for it but the phone doesn see it. I have tried switching headset on first and last, tried switching to phone off completly, but it still does work!!
Just to make sure the bluetooth is still working I tried linking the phone to my laptop which worked first time.......
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, FC

Hi, I don't think the headset problem is with the phone specifically, I had a jabra headset, and from memory you need to hold one of the buttons for a few seconds till the light flashes/changes colour, then search for it with phone and pair it using either '1111' or'0000' , Check manual for headset or download from jabra website. As for sms/txt call your sevice provider and explain the problem, they can send you the settings by sms/txt and you can install from that and it should be ok. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

N95 8GB Rotate

All,
I just updated my N95 8GB to version 20.0.016 and now have the 'Rotate' feature as standard.
But I can't get it to work. I have set 'Rotate' to automatic in display settings but the screen will not move.
I suspect that the firmware has shipped without the accelerometer plugin. Can someone confirm that I will need this?
If I do need this then the questions is - why has the firmware shipped without it?

it only can rotate to 2 directions. one to the left and one to the right after u to the left.that's means u can only view it in portraits mode and in a left landscape mode. u can view it in the right landscape mode when playing game and watching video by changing the settings at the game or in the video player that u installed. sorry for my bad English.

Problem with N95 8Gb Gallery

I have a quite annoying problem with my N95 8Gb Gallery.
Since last week, when I open the gallery it appears a lot of system files that shouldn't be there instead of only showing my videos and photos. It makes the phone a lot slower and it crashes. It takes a lot of time to select any file.
Is it some kind of system trouble or have I messed up with something i shouldnt?
Thanks for the help and sorry about the writing mistakes

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.

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.
