N95 8GB Questions..

Hi all.
Got my N95 8GB the other day. Great phone!
The 8GB storage, can I rearrange that like i want? Will the phone make new directories if it needs it?
Why is there a "videos" and "my videos" listed? Which one does it use? Is one for movies taken with cam, and the other as a storage? Which one do I put my own vidoes in so they will be listed in videocentral? Also, will videocentral scan sub directories and include them, like the music player does?
And last, is It possible to restet the phone completly, I mean EVERYTHING, so its just like when I got it? I have been poking around. :-)

It doesnt take forever, just a day or two
It automatically processess all new media that arrives on Mass Storage, it takes time, but when its done its ok. By the way, that doesnt make small 320x240 thumb pics from your big pictures though. You'll have to wait in Picture viewer...

N95 8GB question

HI..yes can someone tell me how to set my secondary camera settings to normal because when i take a photo it gives me a reverse image of the photo taken'i would like to turn that off...i cant seem to find it under options/settings..thanks.

The video call camera shows you the mirror image while you're in the process of taking a photo. Maybe Nokia thought of helping us by providing a 'mirror' And once you click, you will see the actual image captured by the camera. This is a normal behaviour, as far as I know
If you're sure that you've screwed up some of the settings, then, go to Options -> Settings, and scroll down to the last menu item "Restore camera settings". This will restore the original settings of the camera.

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 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!
Go to Solution.

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.

A question of N95 8GB lifeblog

I tried to post the pics to my flickr and blogger by using the lifeblog in my N95 8GB, but it keep saying " web server reported error ".
I did all the set up according this web page " www.flickr.com/tools/lifeblog/ "
Can anyone help me to solve this problem, thank you.

@Driftmonkey
Unfortunately as happens with pre-owned devices at some stage repair shop flashed software for your locality, whilst the seven digit product code upon label under battery remains that of Italian TIM network; so when you use Nokia software Updater it delivers latest firmware against this product code (TIM).
If you have carried out green, star and three keys depressed power on "hard reset" and re-installed device software there is not much more that you can do having hopefully eliminated any possible software corruption.

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

Data recovery from N95 8Gb internal memory

Hello
My girlfriend's N95 8Gb came to something of a nasty end over the weekend. No screen, no keyboard, camera unit's out, but, with a battery the lights still come on. The question is whether we can recover anything from the internal 8Gb flash memory. Any thoughts as to whether anything's salvageable and/or how to go about it? Has anybody been in the same position and succeeded in recovering any data?
Cheers

Thank you for your replies cjlim and jjegan.
The main problem I've got with mass storage mode is that with no screen nor keyboard I can't really select anything. I suspect when I connect the USB cable its probably waiting for me to select mass storage or PC Suite modes before it registers as a device on my PC. At the moment I therefore don't know for sure the connection's working. As I say the lights come on, so I'm hoping the main board is still in some sort of working condition. Guess I could see if the Nokia service centre could add a keyboard and screen??
Although costly I'd be quite happy to pay a data recovery specialist to get the images back, but I'm wondering how to even find such a specialist. I've searched google for a data recovery specialist in Singapore, but to no avail. They all seem to be fine with flash memory cards (as I am), but seem to baulk at an internal flash memory chip.

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.

Nokia N95 8Gb Keypad Fault

Hi All,
I have a Nokia N95 8Gb which has developed a strange keyboard fault..
The number and top plate buttons only work when the slider is virtually closed, with just the *,0 and # keys exposed. If you slide it all the way open, none of the keys work. If you slide it all the way shut, none of the keys work.
I have tried removing the battery for a more than 30 minutes with no success.
I have also carefully taken the phone to pieces and re-seated the ribbon cable plug and it all looks fine. There are no obvious splits or breaks in the ribbon although the phone is quite old and has seen some use! The screen works fine at all times.
I cannot do a hard reset on the phone either by typing the number or power on key sequence as the buttons won't work with the slider open far enough to get to the keys. I have tried operating the phone with the front removed but this was not successful as the slider has to be in the exact position described above otherwise the keys won't work at all. I have however reinstalled the firware (version 35.0.001) and this will have done a reset on completion and this hasn't made any difference.
I have a number of questions:
1. Has anyone seen this problem on the N95 8Gb please?
2. Any idea if it is likely to be a brake in the ribbon cable? (I would have expected to see a problem with the screen if this was the case though.
3. Does anyone know if a fault with the ribbon cable would cause the main number keys to stop working too?
Thanks!

@Stolly: Reason for this is that this boards are the official Nokia discussion sites provided by Nokia. Taking any phone apart voids the warranty. Warranty voiding topics are no-go here even though your phone is 4 years old.
People come here to seek help from Nokia users and there is a great chance that users believe it's okey and recommended to take their phones apart to fix the issues themselvs after reading posts. - In many cases people will make things worse and void their warranty, so when they eventually need to seek help at a Nokia care point, they will find themselv to be rejectet because their warranty is voided.
Nokia won't support that.

N95 8GB Movie Quality

Hello,
I have Nokia N95 8GB bought long time ago. It came with the "Spider-Man 3" movie and I used to connect AV cable (that came with the cell phone) to TV and it had a great quality. After a while I have updated nokia by using nokia software updater and the movie was deleted. (I knew that it would be deleted thats not my concern )
My question is, does anyone know what is the format of that Spider-Man 3 movie that came with the cell phone? It definitly was NOT MP4 I remember. it had an different extension.
The reason I'm posting this topic is that, I have used many different software to convert DVD movie files to MP4 but the qulity never been as good as "Spider-Man 3". I mean, I never watch movies to my cell phone, I download DVD quality movies from Internet, than convert to MP4, transfer to my Cell phone and than watching it on big screen TV using AV cables that came with the cell phone.
So, can anyone suggest in details what "configuration" to use when converting the movies for watching in TV? or does anyone know how to convert the movie to the quality I meantioned above (spider-man 3)?
I woul really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance

isn't it .3gpp or something like that?? looking at a couple of movies on my phone it is.

N95 8GB restarts when trying to use Voice Dial on ...

Ok, so when I have my N95 8GB connected to either a line-out speaker or a blue-tooth earphone, the strangest thing happens. When I try to use voice-dial, right after I say the name I want to dial - the phone freezes. When I press any key on the phone, it restarts. Voice dial works fine when no external device is attached, but if I even connect earphones - it breaks. Anyone experienced this? I'm using FW 35.0.001 Thanks, Ambious

It sounds like that where the phone stores the voice tags has become corrupt so that when the unit tries to access them the phone gets unrecognised data which in turn resets the handset.
Take the unit to yur nearest NSC for a software upgrade.
Hope this works for you.

In response to your enquiry, Nokia N95 8GB does not support the speed camera software.
Kind regards,
