N95 multimedia key stuck?

Hello, I recently purchased a 2nd hand N95 8GB. At first it seemed to work quite finely however after a day or two the multimedia key (that useless key located to the left of directional keys) started playing up by just randomly pressing itself. Most of the time it works normally and then completely at random it will start playing up, entering my music folder and playing songs. I've tried updating to the latest firmware, restoring it to factory setting and erasing everything off of it but to no avail. The key itself isn't physically stuck in any way. I think the phone was originally locked to a network, but it was then unlocked and had Nokia's firmware installed on it. If someone could help get this fixed I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

It's a hardware issue, most likely a failed or damaged (drop/shock/moisture) component.
Take it to a nokia care point for inspection.

well I have managed to mod a plug in, so it now see's it however it won't transfer music/photos to it.
Also I notice when I mount it as mass storage it is only usb 1, which is a little slow when you are transfering gb's

N95 8gb V20.0.0.16 Multimedia Key not working

Hi, I think I found a bug!
make sure the phone is in portrait mode:
1. press the multimedia key
2. press it again to exit
3. Turn the phone to bring it to landscape mode (make sure auto rotate is enabled)
4. press the multimedia key
For me the menu does not start. When I switch it back to portrait, the menu still doesn't launch, so I have to restart my phone to get it working again.
Can anyone verify this?

Just now i read that post. But that guy(wintomato) post that on 15th of march. So it was not about v20. Because v20 just released few days before. When I used v15 nothing happened like that. Maybe it's depened on particular theme or devices. Like my camera has 2 green spot after v11. But very few pepole has these prob. Good luck

N95 Using multimedia keys with other software?

Some programs require using the landscape mode with both hands so is it possible somehow to use those multimedia keys in other softwares? They seem to not recognize them.
If not, does someone know any program which could create a mirror button from them? Like you could set the number "3" to do the same action as "play" button.

Which applications do you mean. Still not quite sure what you want to do.
I have added additional applications to the Multi-media menu, but you activate it normally via pressing the MM key and then cycling through the menu list.

N70 - Multimedia Key - Fault?

Hi All,
I have set the Notes application to the Multimedia Key, which worked for a while, but then stopped.
This is my second N70 due to o2 blocking my first for some reason only known to themselves. The Multimedia Key on the first didn't work at all - until I was preparing to return it, and I uninstalled all the apps and everything from the Gallery - when I deleted the gallery items, something about an active key flashed up - I didn't really take notice as I was sending it back, but after that happened, the Multimedia Key worked.
I've tried looking in the Active Keys in the Menu, but it crashes the phone.
Just wondering whether anyone can help me with this?

Android History: HTC Desire, SE Xperia Arc, HTC Sensation, Sensation XE, One X+, Google Nexus 5

Again O2 are quite good in this respect, my SIM seems to have the ability to add an icon to the any(?) unlocked phones menu system. The icon is just called "O2" If you select this, a warning pops up "allow SIM card to send a message" If you select 'yes', hey presto all your settings are set to you via ~3 SMS messages that self install the settings you mention onto most modern phones.
So you get all your settings back in ~5 min worked a treat.
I'm not sure if it is just new SIMs that have this ability?
as I got an upgraded O2 '3G ready' SIM recently.
Otherwise you could use this 'operator settings' service provided by Nokia themselves...

Multimedia Key inoperative, photo editor not worki...

My N96 is now running 20.015 firmware. I have freed up as much phone memory as possible by moving messaging to my 4Gb mmc. I have installed all possible apps to the 16Gb drive. The phone memory is showing 60.8MB of free space. I have reinstalled the 20.015 firmware.
However there still seems to be several functions which do not work correctly. Most notably the MultiMedia Key refuses to work and it is not possible to edit photos or videos. When I try to edit photos , even small ones, the edit page is simply blank except for the words at the bottom, OPTIONS-APPLY EFFECT-BACK.
Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I am seriously considering posting this to Nokia to be looked at although I feel I should do a Prince Charles and revert to my trusty old N95.
After so much disappointment with this N96 I am now afraid to order a N97.

How can I stop iTunes from using my multimedia keys on my keyboard?

I use the multimedia keys on my keyboard for WinAmp, which is my primary music player. When iTunes is open it hijacks every one of them. WinAmp has options to enable and disable the use of global hotkeys and multimedia keys. iTunes does not seem to. Is there really no way to get iTunes to stop taking control of my keys? I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, for the record.

Yep. Don't manually manage.

Multimedia Keys in Awesome Window Manager [SOLVED]

Hey,
I've googled, searched, grepped and scanned about this for weeks, and I think I can't get it working on my own, although I'm sure the right answer is just out there waiting to be found, and one of you brighter minds might just know it already. Right, here's what happens.
I was using openbox, and the keybindings were working just fine. This should probably discard missing symbols or scancodes for the keys, IMHO. Then I switch over to Awesome, and fall in love. The awesome (pun intended) config files by anrxc made it even better, and these days I can't live without my awesome. But I also wanted my volume keys to work. Not like I mind opening a terminal and popping alsamixer... I got 15 of them open all the time anyway. But I still wanted to use the fancy buttons.
The strange thing is, the keys seem to "disappear" as soon as I map them somewhere. I've tried binding them in rc.lua:
awful.key({}, "#121", function () exec("pvol.py -m", false) end),
awful.key({}, "#122", function () exec("pvol.py -c -2", false) end),
awful.key({}, "#123", function () exec("pvol.py -c 2", false) end),
pvol.py is a script (made by anrxc too) that does stuff to the volume and displays a cute gtk progress bar to indicate current volume level. Invoking it from the terminal works fine.
I also tried using xbindkeys:
"pvol.py -m"
XF86AudioMute
"pvol.py -c -2"
XF86AudioLowerVolume
"pvol.py -c 2"
XF86AudioRaiseVolume
But the result was the same. Here's the output of xev with the keys unbound:
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,

XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
As you can see, they respond to the key codes 121. 122, and 123. Going to a console and running showkey, however, gives me the key codes 113, 114, and 115. I've tried mapping both, and the X11 symbols, with the same result. Below, a sample of xev's output when I bind the keys somewhere (out put for a single key, all result in the same output):
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
And of course, nothing happens. The same happens whether I bind the keys in awesome or through xbindkeys. I have to admit, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Anyone seen this before?

Just to clarify for anyone who comes across this, "%" is needed after the number. It should be:
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%+") end),
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%-") end)
You should also be able to add Mute functionality:
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioMute", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master toggle") end)
Also, to get rid of the loading cursor, pass false as a second argument to all three of these:
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%+", false) end),
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%-", false) end)

Multimedia keys are non-functional

I'm currently experiencing a problem with the multimedia keys on the Apple Pro (white) keyboard. The expose keys work; however the brightness, volume up, volume down, mute, and eject keys will not. The said keys will work for a few seconds as OS X is loading up and mounting the drives, but they stop working once the drives are mounted. Right now, I'm using the menu bar eject button. When I click the "Keyboard/Mouse" preferences in the System Settings, I get a perpetual spinning beach ball and I'm forced to restart the computer using the power button. I've tried all of the following without any success:
* replaced existing Apple Pro Keyboard with another of the same
* CommandOption+OR
* CommandOption+PR
* plugged keyboard & mouse into different USB ports
I've had this computer 4+ years and this is a first. I would greatly appreciate any additional suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi Nick, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

How do I make my multimedia keys work with iTunes?

I just bought a new Dell XPS L502X laptop and i realize that the multimedia keys only work with iTunes when the window is open. I was wondering if it would be possible to use these commands even when the window is not open.

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

N70 Multimedia Key

Hi everyone
i used to set the program MSDICT Viewer for my N70 Multimedia Key, before i upgrade the phone's firmware from v 3.*** (i don't remember! ) to 5.0638.3.0.1. but now i can't set it up any more! MSDICT viewr is not available in the program list of Multimedia Key. surprisingly it is available for other keys as i go to tools\settings\phone\standby mode. what is the problem with the multimedia key? why it doesn't show all the programs installed in the phone?
i reinstalled MSDICT but again it didn't work.
any suggestions appreciated.
thanks.
Ali

but nj7_, what do you mean "the Rules have been changed"? it is supposed to work with all programs. you know, one of the greatest advantages to such functional key is to execute any program while you are working somewhere else. what a pity! it was really really useful before.
