N95 FW upgrade using phone as modem.
Hi!
I have 2MB data plan, and i'm using my n95 to connect my laptop to Internet. Now, if i want to upgrade my phones firmware, is it possible/safe to do it with this connection?
I think the update reboots the phone etc. which will ofcourse kill the connection. Is this a problem?
Be safe, use a cabled network connection to do the ugrade if you have access to one.
As far as I know, the NSU downloads the firmware to the PC, and then installs it to the phone without any network connection being required.
The problem may be that the mode that the phone and PC are connected in, i.e. as a modem, may confuse the installation process.
I know it aint heavy, but you don't want to turn it into a paper weight!!
Some things in life are guaranteed, but can you claim on them?

Error Message When Trying to Use Phone As Modem
I have a BlackBerry Curve 9330 and use it to get online with my laptop. Recently I've been getting a connection failed message saying the specified port is not open when trying to connect. I have not changed my computer settings and do not know what to do about this aggravating problem.
You can't do that. Instead, just remove "aaa new-model" from the config then try to deploy it. Alternatively, you can try "merge mode," but that will send the whole config back to the device.

I want to upgrade my phone to the 4 or 4s. My macs are still running Tiger. If I bought an iPad 2, could I sync everything to it from the 4 without using a Mac at all, and then be able to iCloud my calendar and contacts, etc?

You don't need a computer to activate a new iOS device anymore. Anything with iOS 5 can be activated over a WiFi network (or cellular if that applies). -
i am currently using iphone 5 and i want to upgrade my phone to ios7 i want to know if it is necessary to keep backup of contacts?
As with every computing device, a backup is your ONLY insurance should anything ever go wrong with your device.
Without a backup, if something does happen to go awry, you will loose whatever you have not backed up.
So my response is, of course you need a backup. You always need a backup, no matter what. -
Tried to upgrade my phone online using Loyalty Discount - Online sales Rep no help
I tried to upgrade my phone online to take advantage of the online discount and also use a loyalty discount. The price of the phone is correct until it I get to checkout, the loyalty discount is then removed and only the online discount is applied. I IM the online sales rep, but the person was of no help, telling me that all discounts had been applied. After about 15 to 20 minutes of trying to explain that the loyaly discount was being removed at checkout, I just gave up and cancelled the order.
I later tried it again, only to have the same problem and the same result from the online sales rep.
What good is a loyaly discount if you can't use it?
I am not sure if this is by design or if there is a glitch in the site, but the sales rep could not see my loyalty discount on my account and could not explain why this was happening.
Do I need to go to a store to take advantage of the loyalty discount?

ThanksIt may depend on the type of store you go to. Corporate stores are different from third-party retailers (who often carry cell products other than Verizon as well). I would say call the specific store you plan to go to and ask before you go.

since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?
I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy! -
I have an sony vivaz, i want to upgrade the software. i had downloaded the upgradtion software. bUt it fails to upgrade, even it fails when i use phone repair in pc suit.
What should i do?Hello @chavanjayesh2001... I wanted to give you some tips for when you can't update the software of your phone:
-Make sure that the Internet connection is good. If the update process is interrupted it might be due to loss of Internet connection.
-Try using another USB cable and usb port in your computer.
-Try using another PC.
-Temporary disable any firewalls and or antivirus software.
-Start your PC in “Safe mode with networking” mode. This is done by pressing F8 during PC boot. When Windows is started in safe mode, try taking the update again. -

Can I use my Firefox Phone as Modem for PC?
I'm from Bangladesh. Here Firefox OS is launched in Symphony F15 phone. I want to know if I can use my phone as Modem for PC via USB or bluetooth. Have anyone any idea about this? Does firefox OS have the capability?
Firefox OS lets you share your data connection with other devices by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot or by tethering with a USB cable. Here's how:

I currently have an I5 and as with the previous I4, both buttons have failed and now my battery lasts almost six hours if I don't use it. I cannot upgrade my phone until March, 2015 even though I recently upgraded my phone to the More Everything Plan. Am I destined to be a nonuser for three months until I can upgrade. This is very unacceptable as I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for probably 20 yrs!
As a 20 year customer of ours, we certainly appreciate your loyalty Richey_Rich. I know the importance of ensuring you have a properly operating phone. Can you please clarify which button on the device is not working? Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Any applications that stay running?
Thank You,

Was my upgrade used when I returned a New phone on the 3rd day I had it?
I opened an account in October of last year. I received an Apple iPhone 4S and then 3 days later returned it for a Galaxy S3. I was recently trying to upgrade my phone but they said the upgrade had already been used when I returned my new phone within the 14 day return policy. Why did that count as my upgrade? Now my account says I can't upgrade until months after my plan ends. I would like to upgrade. Thanks for your help.
There is not enough information in your post for anyone to know if you are actually upgrade eligible. What I was saying is that IF you started service in October of last year then more than likely you are not eligible to upgrade as upgrade eligibility usually becomes available every two years of service.

Nokia N95 8 Gigs "The Phone that got forgotten"
Dear Nokia Support,
After I have bought this phone, I was not as please with the price and over all service that I have received from Nokia. I didn't care that it was expensive, but the service... Lets me begin where I have bought this phone for over 24,500 baht (Central World Power Buy, Bangkok, Thailand) [new copper color, N95 8 gigs]. I've bought the phone for the look, services, GPS system, but I am sorry to say that I didn't get any of that.
Lets start from the back; the GPS system. It takes so long to get the sat. lock, not even counting the time to calculated route, I was confirm with the Nokia Customer care that it will be resolve when I upgrade the firmware to 20 something. Unfortunately, when I have upgraded my phone, the phone act very weird and GPS function take even longer than it was before; even with the aids of GPRS where it should have taken only a few mins if not less. It would taken over 5. (this function become obsolete for me, as it is not helping me in anyway)
Secondly, as it was claim on the website of Nokia that Nokia have the best Care service. It was not for me, at first it was ok, as I was in the shop to get my phone firmware update, i got premium services and being taken care off right way. The reason that I was in the shop the first time was because I was using the Windows Vista at home, Nokia Care software was not support it (talk about up to date??) The second time however was different (MBK, Bangkok, Thailand) I didn't show my phone like the first time, I simply told them that my phone need fixing. My N95 screen went blank all of the sudden, I could make call normally but I could not see anything on the screen. One of the customer rep. told me that it would take 3 hours to fix the phone. So I was very please that I was being taken care off. Before I am going further, I would like to add that I have only use this phone for little over 3 months, I have never drop the phone or expose to any wet condition, and I have always keep the phone in the leather pouch that I bought for it. Now, back to the story. One of other rep, came over and told me that she could not find me on the system and I would need my recipt to get my phone service... (wait.. I bought this phone to 3 months, yet already have service here once.. and I still need a recipt??? I was very **bleep** at that point as the way they are saying that I would not get my phone services for I have not have my recipt... eventually she went to the back and finally saw me on the system. At that point she gave me a different answer than the rep. that he was handle me before, she said this phone need to be send to the center and it will take over 2 weeks for it to be fix. After argue for a while, she said that she will need to ask the tech. and she got back to me and say that she will have the tech. try to do something to the phone (I guess replacing some hardware) for 3 hours and she will either get back to me or I have to come back in 3 hours. After 3 hours has passed, I came back to the Nokia Care Shop and ask for the status of my phone, and found that they were waiting to talk to me about the phone. She said the phone have some water stain inside, and it will not be handle by Nokia as it is void the service agreement (well, my phone have not been anywhere near water or drop anywhere, the only reason this happend is only maybe from the my sweat.) and it is going to cost me over 2,200 baht to fix the phone as water mark void the service agreement.... well my phone was void because of normal use.. and it has only been 3 month. I guess Nokia is not for me, as I can't even sweat when using the phone. and I am not talking about a lot of sweat either, because my office is always in the air conditional Building. It was not as bad if she have called me faster to lets me know this other than letting me hang around for 3 hours and ask for the status. Now I have to wait 2 weeks. This is what I got from the best of service care in thailand. Furthermore, I know I could have just walk to the other end of the mall and get my phone for maybe half the price and possibly in less than an hour. Maybe I was stupid....
That was it, maybe it was my mistakes to even pick this phone from the begining, it wasn't cheap, changing it to a dollar is over 700 dollars phone. I was left with no choice, the phone is in parts in their hand. In order to fix my phone I will have to pay for the repair... or else I would just lost that 24,500 baht that I have just invested on the phone for merely 3 monthes. I will mark that Nokia is not for me and I will never buy anymore of Nokia Product. Expensive yet not user friendly. As soon as I got my phone back from the service, I am just going to sell it.
Soravis,
very disatified customer of NokiaCheck these:
(1) Phone software version - v20 and up have better GPS handling than earlier versions, if you have earlier than that then update.
(2) Maps application version - if you have v1.2, update to v2.0 (this version will be inbuilt if your phone can update to software version 30 anyway) - this version is much improved.
(3) This model has its GPS receiver positioned beneath the keypad, rather unusually, so make sure you have the slide open when using GPS. -
Possible Problem for US N95 User Upgrading to Firm...
On July 19, 2007 the new firmware version 12.0.013 for Nokia N95 became available through Nokia Software Updater for US product coded N95s. I installed it and only within 1-2 hours my phone messed up. It is now almost unusable. I am trying to figure out whether this problem stems from the new firmware or from another source that occurred by chance immediately after the installation of the firmware. I posted 2 videos on youtube showing the issues.

I would like to hear what you think, especially whether you have ever seen or heard the same problem in any firmware version.
Thanks!
mg428Hi Please read this link as I had exactly the same problem and this is the way i went about solving it. The phone became totally useless and i even got an error code when starting it up. This does work. Tried to link but couldn't get it to work.
Hi All.
On two different N95 when i upgraded the phones these are the problems i experienced and how i solved it. Just to inform you the two phone were set up totally different with totally different software on it but both were upgraded from v10
First of all i made backups onto the memory cards as suggested by Nokia. Don't do this!!!! backup to PC and restore from there.
I then ran the update with no Problems and restored from the memory card. Big problems started. First of all the main screen lost all it's functions and there where no standby shortcuts on the phones. I could get into the menus by pressing the menu keys but even trying to setup the phone from here gave me no results. The standby shortcuts could not be restored at all and i think the problem has to do with the Active standby apps. or Standby mode. Even the two shortcut keys at the bottom of the phone were gone. After which i rebooted the phone. Even worse things happened then the phone then said "Failed to load or Phone load failure. Contact your Phone Retailer"
The way to fix this is to press and hold the ( 3 * and the green answer key ) and then switch the phone on hold these three key until it asks for the country you live in. This formats the phone. Enter all the data asked for that is country, time and date.
Then restore from your memory card and straight away go into your phone settings using the menu key. Go to General setting and load the Factory Settings. After this re-customize your phone and everything works like a charm.
I have had no more problems from then on. Oh and the phone is a lot quicker.
The only problem i've had with the phone from v10 and still in v12 is that i can't choose a ring tone from the memory card. The card holds about 900 songs (2 gig card). The only choice i have is to select no ring tone or to download on. The way i get to choose my ring tone is to copy the song or ring tone to the phones memory remove the mem card select the tune from the phone once i've done this i re insert the mem card and carry on from there.
Hope this is helpful.
Best to you all.
The N95 is a great phone though.Message Edited by hotcat4 on 20-Jul-200706:11 PM
