N95 8GB, knew it was a mistake going back to Nokia

Hi all,
The other night the N-Gage demo app thingy stopped launching. Didn't matter what I did it just wouldn't launch. Tried powering off then back on, no luck. Tried removing battery and powering back on, no luck.
In desperation I tried a restore to factory defaults, no luck. Finally I saw how to do a hard reset, yay success!!
Unfortunately now I've done that Spiderman 3 won't play, and the demo apps Bejewelled, Sims 2, Tetris, eBay, Midnight (whatever), Pro Golf, Google Maps, Messenger, Vodafone Music, and Youtube will neither start nor allow themselves to be removed.
What a crock!
Anyone have ANY idea how I can resolve these issues?
TIA
Alistair

It's all part of Nokia's charm.. If not.. It's the love it/hate it thing again. I don't have all the problems you've listed.. But I got a couple and get the rest of the picture. Problem is.. I feel as if this forum doesn't reach the Nokia personnal who actually look into this and take care of it. Besides.. This model is, well I heard.. It's the Nokia flaghip. I don't know.
peace up.

N95 8GB on other networks ?

Hi, first post, hello all.
I was wondering when it will be available to T Mobile specifically, I had the N95-1 and the battery was terrible so I sent it back.
I waited for the k850i however when I tried the N95 I knew it was the one I wanted. So now I am nearly three months over my contract and really really want !
Thanks

boosha:
The N95 8GB and the N95 Classic are very similar as far as the WIFI goes.
I use mine all the time, mainly to download podcasts, and i find it very stable.

N95 8GB Email Characters

Hi there,
Sorry if this has already been asked but I have done a search here and not found it so far.
I am thinking of purchasing an N95 8GB and I was wondering if anyone knew how many characters it holds whilst emailing.
I currently have a Samsung E900 and it can only send or receive 1000 characters which is a pain as when people email me more than this, it just cuts off and I have to wait until I check online.
Thank you for your help and again, sorry if I have missed this somewhere.

You can set the limit per mailbox when you create it (or modify it later).

GPS on N95 8GB on Pay As You Go?

Hey guys,
I have an N95 8GB Black which was bought off someone who got it as an upgrade on a Vodaphone contract, but I'm using it on Orange pay as you go.. I was wondering what is up with the GPS because wherever I am it just won't find my location? It just shows the yellow flashing lights as if it is trying to find it, but I have left for hours and no luck...
It's not like there are no satellites as well, I've checked and at times it will show 3 or 4 or even 5!
Also can someone outline the costs involved with GPS (if any) as I'm not really sure how it all works.
Thanks!

Hi shyamt
As the internal GPS receiver is fairly feeble partly due to the siting of antenna, it depends upon the Assisted GPS feature to speed up establishment of position. This feature requires an active connection which can be altered in Nokia Maps > Options > Settings > Network - connection = As needed rather than Never. The amount of data downloaded for a position fix is about 5kb.
You don't say whether you are indoors or whether you have tried outside away from tall buildings and trees. You should hold phone at 45 degrees with slider open. I do have concerns that GPS receiver is not working if you never get Three green LEDs
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > Position > Options > Positioning settings there are 4 options available, of which 3 should be ticked - Internal GPS, Network and Assisted GPS.

Hi Nick,
Not certain what is causing the problem, but I do know that your phone needs to download maps, so you should connect using GPRS or Wifi to download the maps and then you should have maps for your locality, but you will need to connect again if you move outside of the locality. The best advise I would say is to get an internet add on for your phone so you won't be charged extra.
you may be able to download maps and load them on also. You may also need to turn off the network assisted GPS so you are only using the built in GPS not the internet to find where you are.

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.

N95 8GB - Devicescape: Hotspot Framework Not Avail...

Hi
I was cleaning some applications including Demo games, etc., on my new N95 8GB. By mistake I deleted Hotspot Framework. Now, when I restart a phone I am getting message: "Devicescape: Hotspot Framework Not Available"
How to reinstall it?

hey, the only way you can install a new language pack is by going to nokia care or talking to your provider about your issue. nokia care will change the language pack for a fee as your phone was not inteneded for the particular region that you want the language from namely poland. it will cost you a fee as this is not generally done, now every time you will update your phone and or reformat it you will lose your langague pack and it will default to the original language pack that the phone came with for your region. make sure that you have receit of purchase if you go to nokia care to get that done but first talk to rogers about your issue.
about the other issue i still have no clue. ..did you try to take the battery out for a few mintues and putting it back in and turning on the phone ? see if something changed?

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

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

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. 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 v20.0.016 - mass memory failure #3

For the third time my N95 8GB has managed to corrupt its mass memory ("mass memory corrupted") - only this time, I am unable to reformat it at all!
The problem behaviour is as follows:
Used the phone last night to take several pictures, accessing the Gallery at one stage to find and delete one picture. This afternoon I look for the photos to review, and the '200902' folder (images for February) on the mass memory has no subfolder and is empty. However, I DO have a video saved on the phone from the 7th of February!
This afternoon I am able to take as many pictures as I like and they are saved correctly in the gallery and the 200902 folder. I had used about 5.2GB of the mass memory at this point. (It may be worth noting that I would occasionally get the message 'Gallery: Memory full' whilst browsing the gallery, but never at any other time).
At this stage, the mass memory is still fully populated, so I thought it would be best to cut my losses and take a full phone backup. The backup process fails, with an error along the lines of having lost connection with the phone.
I check file manager to see what's going on, and the following message appears on the memory card page: "(no data)".
All previous times the handset corrupted its memory, the trigger seemed to be a reboot of the handset. (Contents were lost upon returning to File Manager after a reboot). Having not rebooted the phone at all in the last 24 hours, I was surprised that the memory card contents had apparently disappeared without any application being launched and apparently no new data writing attempts being made. Perhaps the read operation for the backup caused the failure? But this still does not explain how all my February photos were deleted.
Without any obvious way of getting to my files, I rebooted the phone, returned to file manager and was greeted by the familiar: "(mass memory corrupted)".
As mentioned previously, when this happened before I was able to format the memory via Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Memory -> Format. This time, I receive the message: "Mass memory is in use by other application. Continue anyway?". I select 'Yes' - but the handset simply returns to the memory screen and "(mass memory corrupted)". This still happens even after a reboot.
I have performed 'Factory settings' reset via the phone menus, a 'hard reset' via code *#7370#, a format by holding *, 3 and the call answer button whilst powering on the phone - none of these prevent the 'Mass memory is in use' error from occurring. I have also attempted to format drive E (mass memory) but this just returns an error code. When I attempt to upgrade the firmware, the process fails every time after ~3 minutes saying that the connection with the phone has been lost (the warnings about upgrading do state that the mass memory should NOT be encrypted, so I presume that it being inaccessible is equivalent to this).
I cannot see any way to format the 8gb memory so that I can make it usable once more! The phone was not dropped or damaged in any way in the last 24 hours, yet it seems that something must have physically changed inside it?
The only parallel I can draw between this incident and the previous one is that both times, the memory was around 2/3rds full (around 5.5GB). I am wondering if perhaps the FAT table outgrows itself and dies?
My 1 year warranty expired 3 weeks ago - I am hopeful my network operator will be able to provide a replacement and that this phone just has a 'bad' memory chip - it really is a superb phone barring this infuriating corruption problem mine seems to have!
If anyone could shed any light on a solution it would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Alex

In the end my operator agreed to replace the handset for me after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. In my opinion the problem was caused by a faulty memory chip.
Alex
p.s. - the old handset was sent to the operator for repair and they were unable to repair it, only offer a refurbished replacement. With the greatest of respect, it's good to know my case is not unique!

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!
