N95 8GB unable to reset using shortcuts or codes

Every time I switch my N95 on I get a message saying new time zone found, when the alarm goes off in the morning the handset switches itself off and then switches back on again, the speech quality if very poor and there are also a couple of other minor problems. I downloaded Nokia Suite but the handset is not being seen using this software or as an external device through Windows Explorer.
I've tried using various suggested hard and soft reset codes and also the 3 * and Send sequence whilst switching the handset on.........none of these are working.
I can't return it to the shop I bought it from as I'm now out in the Middle East.
It's the first Nokia I've had for a very long time and I've got to say I'm really disappointed with it......any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe you need to try the full/deep reset.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
Then try the "3 finger deep reset". With the phone powered off, depress and hold these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.

N95 8GB - "Unable to save. Profiles in the same re...

Hi all!
I have a N95 8GB RM-320 V 30.0.018
When I try to config another account SIP in the same realm, but with another user name, the system show me this message error above:
"Unable to save. Profiles in the same realm must have same user name"
I can't config two different accounts that the same provider on this mobile phone? Why? What's the logical explanation?
Thx for now!

Hello,
@ ontherun : I don't know. I have never take/test incoming voip calls, and for instance, because my phone is not always connected, people join me on my mobile number
@ mrmrmrmr : As I said more than one year ago (see my
06-Mar-2008 06:12 PM
answer), I have a trick to use 2 differents sip profiles using same realm (provided by the same operator : same proxy, registar server and realm but differents usernames) : my trick is to put my SIP phone number (corresponding to the username) in place on the realm. Don't ask me why (?????), but it works.

How to remove map from n95 8gb

i have no use for the map in my n95 8gb.its of no use to me and wanted to remove it.how to do it and if i remove it will it make any difference in the speed of my phone

Nokia Software Update.
It will wipe clean the phone and re-write it again. With everything the same as if it were bought new. If the firmware has been updated then you may get new added features and fixed known bugs or issues with the phone
P.s dont do it if you dont fully understand how. You can destroy the phone if done incorrectly.

If you RESET your N95-8GB you will lose licences t...

For all new people getting the N95-8GB model, just like the N91 and N918GB the pre-loaded content (videos, games, music) is DRM protected. So if you RESET the phone for any reason (*#7370# or three key method) you will lose the DRM lincences and you will not be able to play the content again.
I recommend that the first thing you do after you get your phone out of the box and you power it up is to install PC Suite and make a back up.
This way you will have a back-up of your NEW phone, and later if you run into problems and need to restore the phone to a known good state you will have this back-up.
Cheers!

i've save the movie spiderman 3.dcf and make a back up in my pc, now is it possible to use this back up to another n95 8gb which doesn't have Siderman 3 on them?
thanx...
No because that .dcf file is protected by a key and the key is stored elsewhere. You can backup the key with the Backup to memory card and I think with PC Suite.
For ivor_bigun, you can still backup to the internal memory and then copy the backup directory into your PC. then restore that to the internal memory.Message Edited by jacobsladder on 04-Dec-200703:52 PM

N95 8Gb crashes (resets) when connecting to PC to ...

My N95 8Gb crashes (resets) 75% of the time when connecting to my PC to use PC Suite.
This is now getting to be very annoying.
I have also noticed other things like if you either drag a video file (avi) onto the phone area of PC Suite or into Nokia video Manager, it take a very long time to convert and then tells you that there's not enough room on the phone. I have found this is due to the phone and pc suite using different folders on drive E:. This should have been tested or could it be due to Vodafone moving items within their branded software.
The daftest thing about it is after taking upto 3 hours to convert and you place it in the correct folder (or changed the folder in the setings) on your phone, it'll only play the sound and give no picture. I have converted some of my old movies to DIV-X and this is what happens when you get Nokia software to convert them. I have tried a couple of video converters and think AVS Video Converter seems to work the best (demo leaves a watermark in the movie).
Are these common problems and what is the best way to get around them?

Dear Forum,
What i could suggest you guys is install the Nokia OVI Suite 1.0 for Nokia N 96 from the following site
http://europe.nokia.com/A41159160
or latest NSeries PC Suite from the nokia support pages. Because Nokia N96 will have better compatibility with NSeries/Nokia OVI Suite. But, there is no need to uninstall Nokia PC Suite (7.0.x.x) from your PC, as many of you may be using this for editing Messages and Contacts which is not part of NSeries PC Suite / Nokia OVI Suite right now Have a great day

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.

Transfer of Birthdays to N95 8GB using Phone Switc...

I transferred my Birthdays from a 6230i to a N95 8GB using the Phone Swith facility and infrared and they have transferred to the N95 as Meetings rather than Anniversaries.
The Meetings are on the N95 with a Yearly repeat but are not Anniversaries. The age is not displayed on the calendar entry whereas it was on the 6230i. The reminder alarm has not transferred either and there is no way of viewing these birthdays separately from other calendar entries.
Have I done something wrong with the transfer? Can this be corrected? Does the N95 not have the same calendar facilities as the 6230i?! Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Yeah this is really annoying - I've done the same thing in upgrading from my 6233, and I'm still trying to find a solution other than manually editing every single entry.
Actually there are tons of things, basic functionalities, which were present in the 6233 but which are missing or not as good in the so called 'smart phone'!
I really wish Nokia would keep things consistent between models, as we all spend a long time getting used to a particular model and developing habits and ways of doing things - then we upgrade, sticking with Nokia so we don't have to change the way we do things, only to find out that Nokia have removed/changed/buggered up a perfectly good function.
Anyway, if I find a solution I'll post it here - and if you could do the same that'd be great! :-)
I didn't get where I am today.

I'm using both a 3110c and my N95 8GB on a fresh installation of Windows XP SP3 with the latest Nokia PC Suite 7.1 using cable and bluetooth. Each time I connect to the Internet with one click it stays connected for a few minutes then drops the connection. I formatted and re-installed everything from scratch and it still does the same thing. Please advise me where I should focus to resolve this problem?
Thanks.

You should take it to a repair centre and get the casing repaired under warranty. Unusual wear is covered by the warranty.
been using n95 8gb since 19 dec.me in india also.and i dont handle with care as you said you do,still it like brand new and no issues of paint or anything peeling off.maybe there's some problem with your particular handset.check with a nokia service center.even two of my friends bought it,still no problem with their handset also.that why i think with your particular handset there might be a problem.nokia 8gb rock!!!

Brand new N95 8GB resets itself forever upon loadi...

I have a N95 8GB bought a few hours ago. After setting up and configuring it, it has worked OK for a couple of hours. After that, each time I switch it on, it resets itself, approximately a couple of seconds after having loaded the "desktop" and keeps doing this on its own in an infinite loop.
To turn it off the only way is to take off the battery.
Batteries have been charged.
What could I do to recover this brand new baby before bringing it back to the store where I bought it?
Is it advisable to do a hardware reset? How is it to be done ona N95?
Many thanks in advance for your support

If you are having that kind of problem so soon then the most sensible option would be to return it and try another.
If you want to reset try the below but if you have the spiderman 3 edition of the phone you will no longer be able to watch the movie.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.
