Nokia n95 8 gigs problem

hello i'm having an issue with my freshly bought n95 8gb. when i enter nokia maps, the latest edition, the phone simply can't connect to the satelite, no matter how long i let it do that. i entered the gps data application but no matter how long i leave it, it still can't connect to the satelite, saying that there is no connection. but that's not the problem because everywhere i go there is no connection. and my other phone, n82 works very well and connects very quickly. please, help me with this problem i need that gps connection. regards

Check 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.

  • 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.

  • Nokia n95 8gb music problem

    hey everyone i have the nokia n95 8gb phone and i am starting to have problems deleting and installing new music because i am trying to delete some of the music because it duplicated itself when i installed it the first time what would cause that and when i try to delete the music from the pc hook up or from the phone it just comes up deleting and after an hour nothing please help me figure this out please

    If your phone didn't come with pre-installed applications on your phone, you may try formatting the memory card from your phone, and see if that solves the issue.
    For the other case, you may wish to backup your memory card contents, and then format it.
    I think formatting should resolve the problem.

  • Nokia N95-3 Screen Problem!!

    I recently bought a Nokia N95-3 from Amazon and this is the 6 day that I have it. Last night it was almost fully charged. I left it atop one of my drawers and haven't touch it until about 10 minutes ago. I tried to unlock it and notice that it was turned off! I was wondering why it had turned itself off. I go into my room to charge it and it says low battery! I was wondering how that happened since when I left it last night no programs were running and the backlit light was off. And on the bottom right side of the screen I notice a little something. First I thought it was a smudge, then a pencil mark. I tried to get it off using a microfiber cloth that I use for my camera's screen and that didn't work. It looks like a heart moniter black line about 1 cm long. I have been very careful with my phone and I haven't scratched it,dropped it, or used it carelessly. I even use the little pouch it came in to protect it. Here are some pics of it. Tell me if I should contact Amazon or Nokia! Thanks!

    I have the same problem too. I got 2 growing (and shrinking) black lines near the top. The problem started to happen a few hours after buying it. The weird thing is, the 2 lines grows and shrinks on daily basis. However, when they shrink, they always come back to the full length afterwards. I think this is more of a software related issue than hardware.
    Sending an email to Nokia customer service didn't help. They just didn't reply back.
    I will try to take it back to the store (CompUSA) for a replacement. It's very frustrating. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

  • Nokia N95 Screen Backlight Problem! Please Help Wi...

    Its been about 9 month since I purchased Nokia N95. Last night, when I was watching a video, its screen backlight began to flickr. It turned very dim and then restored. It turned again compeletely off, then came to its normal brightness. I tilted the phone in all ways, hto it gently to know whether some wire inside is loose, open and closed the slider. But the screen went on and off itself. I reset my phone by hard formatting (*#7370#) but of no use. The next day, it did the same. After two days, now it is stable. But I fear it might be started again.
    I want to know can this problem be due to some moisture inside my phone or is it because of some hardware proble. And please suggest what should I do. My phone is still under warrenty, but the phone is stable for at least a whole day. Should I carry it to warrenter for repair?
    Any suggestions in this regard? Please reply with practical experience and not a hypothetical reply.
    I appreciate your cooperation.

  • Nokia n95 maps licence problem and gps not working

    hi i have n95 and i formated it all and it's mass memory, now when i open maps i don't find my license, also i can't update it, i can't dowload maps for my phone, so i can't navigate without internet, also gps lock not  working
    and when i use pc suite to downlad maps like before it don't work it send me to lumia here maps that it dont on my n95 8gb  because nokia abandoned the best symbian and used the bad lumia,  so they delete symbian so users change to lumia, and i  say no
    help me get maps back and preload maps without internet
    i formated my phone manytimes and i used nokia software update and still no solution for  me
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Now, you have old cities/qf on your phone because you started with Maps 2.0 which used incompatible map data. Please, on your phone delete the folder cities and the file qf. These are in the at the start (root directory) of your storage. Then on your phone, open Maps and browse a bit around. That re-creates cities/qf. Now try the Nokia Suite again. Does it show the countries? Good. Now it should work. If not, please, report.

    I had the previous PC Suite.
    Now that webpage make sense. The button in the PC Suite links to the Nokia Map Loader. Anyway, nowadays one should use the Map Loader of the Nokia Suite because it supports very large maps.

  • New Nokia N95 Gallery + Battery problems

    I got a new N95 two days ago, and when I got it it had 3 bars. I used it straight away to load some pics, videos and music on it. Then after loading some pics from facebook which had the really long names like n503642820_36243_4275[1] and I had about 30 of those pics. So when I unhooked the usb and was going through the gallery it immediately hangs and you can't do anything except press the red button by going back and when I press the C button it cancels but gallery is still running and if I access it from the phone it opens with frozen page untill I click the red button. By this time I had a full battery charge. It then goes back to normal, I open gallery again and at the same certain pic it hangs and you can't do anything. All of this is the first day of using the new N95. So when I go back to gallery to delete that file it still hangs on it and so on. Its running V12 and with all that happenning from a full charge it went down to 2 bars.
    So we a very fast battery rundown problem
    Gallery hang ups about 6 times from a brand new N95
    What should I do?Message Edited by mohamed525 on 06-Oct-200712:56 PM

    the initial problem started when you used the phone
    The first thing you do is charge the battery this improves the life cycle of the battery
    Advice to you is charge the battery when it is completlely empty with the phone turned off and make this a habit
    Second issue how were you connected with the usb? Via pc suite or data transfer? If it was data transfer you need to disconnect correctly from your pc
    There is a symbol in your taskbar on your cpu that if you right click it states "remove hardware safely" you need to do this when disconnecting via data transfer mode before yanking the cable out

  • Nokia N95 music transfer problem

    Ive already posted in a wrong section but...
    How do i transfer music - because when i try to link it up with windows media player it says there is no space on my phone, while there is 900MB free still. I also tried linking it to Nokia Music Program, and that also said my phone had no memory - and i could not browse the phone to findwhich part where to save it.

    To link it to WMP you need to select "Music Tranfer" as the USB mode.
    You can also just use "File Tranfer" or "mass storage" USB mode to just copy files across from Windows directly into the Memory card.
    Be advised Music can only be tranferred into a memory card not the phone memory.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Who can solve iSync problem with Nokia N95? (I use the Nokia plug already)

    Hello
    Since I bought my new cool Mac:, I sync my N95 with iSync and the Nokia N95 plug-in. Thinking at first that is works flawlessly (as other members here seem to think as well) I later found out, that if I make changes to any calendar or "to do" description! on either the N95 or the Mac it syncs, but only up until a certain number of characters. If I exceed this number, the description on the phone will simply be cut off - in the iCal it still fully appears though.
    Rather surprising, since when syncing with a PC via the Nokia PC suite there is no such an issue. All my often lengthy descriptions are fully put on the phone. And if I sync back there are no problems either. So I guess it has to do with the iSync protocol or this Nokia N95 iSync plug-in? Any ideas, solutions...? Any help greatly appreciated!
    A bit in despair

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

  • Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

    Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.
