Nokia N95 8GB 3G "Connection Error"

Hi all, when i use my 4 month old phone i was only experincing a small number of drop outs, now all i get is a connection error or network busy error everytime i try to make a call & incomming calls go straight to message bank. I did a factory rest on the phone settings & things seemed to work for a little while, but then stopped again. so i switched the phone to only use GSM & supprise supprise it works all the time now!! put it back onto umts & it wont connect, or into dual mode it may work sometimes!!
what can i do to get this problem fixed? it is the phone as i put the sim in another phone it appears to work fine (but that was a GSM phone that i used to) im with optus & rely heavily on my phone for business!! i just want it to work so i can be contactable 24hrs
Cheers
Greg

Had the same issue. My bet is you are trying to use a Telstra Next-G card in a non-Telsrtra Next-G phone.
The software is not compatible. You will need a Next-G phone.
I had to purchase two new phones N95 and 6120. Problem soleved.
The real issue is that sales staff do not really understand the difference between 3G and NextG.

Nokia n95 8gb CDC COMMS ERROR - FAILED DRIVER INST...

Hi, If anyone could put this demon to rest I would be greatly appreciated.
I have been using my NOKIA N95 8GB for over a year with my computer, that runs Wondows Vista. A few months back I discovered that My phone would no longer connect to the computer in Windows Media Player Sync mode. I then found this was true of all connections except PCSUITE. Even though it does connect in pc suite mode, the computer states that it is installing the drivers for the phone,a nd then opens a little windows in the task tray where it says all the things it is installing. Eventually everything except two things are installed. CDC COMMS, and COM16
If I attach the phone in any other connection other than PCSUITE My phone makes an unhealthy fast usb connection tone, and does not seem to resgister. If i go into Device Manager I can see the computer does realise the phone is there but has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. The phone does not show up in Windows Media Player, or in My Computer as a secondary hardrive as it should.
This problem has now been apparent with two different phones, Vodafone sent me a new product to check if it was the phone itself. I checked the phone on my mum's computer and it seems to work fine, I can install all drivers and The phone registers in pc suite and media player.
its a pain having to go back and forth between my mother's house however so any help would be really appreaciated here. Either write on here or email me at
Thankyou so much

Since you narrow it down the probllem to your pc/laptop why not have your pc/lapto scan for virus/malware from the net. If the problem still persist then have a clean re- install of the os & do a restore of your backup.

Nokia N95 8GB - Mail4Exchange: "System error.Try a...

Good morning. We currently have 3 Nokia N95 8GB within the company that use Mail for exchange 2.3. One of the handsets suddenly started to receive the above error on synchronising. The other 2 handsets are working perfectly and i have done a software upgrade on the handset causing problems and re-installed mail for exchange and done a full synch. But still i am receiving the same error message. Please can you assist as it is causing difficulty for our member of staff who has now lost this facility.

It sounds as if that staff members phone has become corrupt, has he/she installed any files recently that were not approved for use by Nokia?
The only sure way to cure this would be to do a hard reset on the phone and if possible format the 8GB internal memory.
You can back-up important data such as messages and contacts but if at all possible get rid of the other data as by restoring it later you will just re-install the problem.
Then do this
Try doing a hard reset by following the following steps
1: Back up important data such as contacts, messages etc
2: Turn off the phone
3: Hold down the star *, green phone and number (3) key
4: Turn the phone back on with these keys held in
5: Wait for the device to start up completely
Restore back-up and try phone again, if the problem is still noticeable take it to your nearest Nokia Repair Centre

Nokia N95 8GB network unlocking invalid error

Hello
I have the Nokia N95 8gb, and have had it on vodafone for nearly 18 months. I am changing network, they gave me an unlocking code. I have put this in and get a message "invalid operation"
they warned in their email to me that I should not keep entering tge code as it could lock up entire phone, but have not told me what I can do.
Can anyone help, Please

If it is like my old N80 you will only get 3 attempts to unlock it, third time will lock the phone completely and make it useless, I tried twice and it failed both times, then not wanting to brick the phone on the third try i took the easier option went to ebay and bought a chip to fit under the sim, worked first time.

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

N95 8gb BT Connection Problem With BMW 5 series

Hello everyone,
I hope someone could help me with this. I just got my N95 8 gb & I have tried to connect my phone to my BMW58610 BT but it seems like it constanly drop ny itself & then coneecting again & drop & connect. I do not know how to get this problem fix. 20.2.005 30-04-08 RM-421.
And then sometimes one folder will be missing by itself for example the n-gage folder will disappear & then it will come back within seconds or maps folder will disappear & will appears back.
I would really appreciate any suggestions or help!

I had a situation whereby my N95 8gb will connect to my iDrive and sometimes after a while, when I make a call, I can hear the person I am calling but they can't hear me. This is what I have learnt from trial and error since.
I tried everything to resolve this so I am not sure which actually fixed it so I'll tell you all I did. I updated firmware on both phone (V20) and car. Deleted all pairings on both phone and car. Repaired. I must have deleted pairings and repaired at least half a dozen times before the problem mysteriously disappeared.
Another thing I have noticed is, it is better to leave the phone for a few minutes after it has connected, to allow it to download all the contacts before using it. I have had the bluetooth disconnect or the HUD malfunction when I use the phone straight away.
I had to do the same with my N96 before it would work satisfactorily. My N80, however had no such problems. Strange.

Copy contacts between PC and Nokia N95 8GB without...

Hello...
I have Nokia N95 8GB.
I have 300 contacts stored on my PC from previous phone which was Nokia N90. What I want to do is to copy my contacts from my PC to my Nokia. But without PC Suite, without any synchro, just to copy them like in windows explorer, copy folder and paste folder.
Is this possible? I mean, I can do this, but don't know where to place them inside Nokia folder tree - I want them to be visible inside address book...
Thanx!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure this will resolve your problem but you could try with this.
1. Remove Previous phone plugins from Library/phone plugins (If any files are there)
2. Delete files from User/Library/caches/
3. Remove chaches from System/library/chaches
4. Download and install iSync plugin from Nokia website
Make sure you have installed all available updates from Apple using Software Update and your phone firmware is updated.
Are you getting any specific error messages?

Nokia N95 8GB Sound disappears!

I have problems with my Nokia N95 8GB. It works 2 days and then the sound disappears. When somebody calls me the phone only vibrates. To fix this, I have to restart my phone and after 1-2 days I have the same problem until I restart it. Anybody know what the problem is. I tried to reinstall the firmware, but this didn't help me at all.

Then you have to take it to a Nokia care point. There might also be a chance of a faulty connections, heatissues or whatever. If you cannot fix it by reinstall and hard reset - there is not much you can do yourself.

Hi Nick,
Not certain what is causing the problem, but I do know that your phone needs to download maps, so you should connect using GPRS or Wifi to download the maps and then you should have maps for your locality, but you will need to connect again if you move outside of the locality. The best advise I would say is to get an internet add on for your phone so you won't be charged extra.
you may be able to download maps and load them on also. You may also need to turn off the network assisted GPS so you are only using the built in GPS not the internet to find where you are.

Nokia N95 8Gb Maps V2.0 problems.

I have had the new Nokia N95 8Gb for just over 2 weeks - I had it from my local Carphone Warehouse in Broughton (near
Chester). The problems I have with Nokia Maps V2.0 are as follows :-
1. Very slow on calculating a route - I am visiting numerous factory sites around the UK, so I saved the postcodes. On this particular occassion, I wanted to plan a known route home from one of the sites (53 miles), and I was nearly home when it had planned the route.
2. When a route has been calculated, the cursor showed itself just to the side of the road I was on, thus telling me I was not on a road.
3. Keeps changing the orientation - from pointing in the diretion I want to go (forward), to the direction I have been (backwards).
4. Planned road display changes from full width to narrow line - at this point, it no longer knows where it is and tries to recalculate route until the road changes back to full width.
I looked at the various forums (both Nokia and others), and there are many threads reporting the problems I have described above. I tried all of the suggestions including :-
1. Switching off Assisted GPS - in the Positioning methods - seemed to make no difference.
2. Use an external GPS receiver - much better in locating position, but still the same problems in reliability detailed above.
3. Switched off the go online when starting up Nokia Maps - this just made locating position take much longer.
4. Full hard reset of the phone, twice - no improvement.
5. Download Nokia Maps V2.0 and re-install - no improvement.
The overriding conclusions from the various forums was that Nokia Maps V2.0 is a backward step and that Nokia Maps V1.2 was so much better. As a consequence, I downloaded Nokia Maps V1.2 and loaded this up. I used it for a 400 mile round trip with no problem at all - directions were clearly displayed, route calculation was quick and it never lost it's position. Unfortunately, I can only use the route planning for 3 days - free test from Nokia when I connected to see licence details. The
only issue I have is that as my car has Bluetooth, I cannot use the voice navigation whilst using Nokia Maps, however, this is not an issue as I just keep checking the screen.
As I am pretty reliant on being able to get to the various sites without complications, there is no way that I will reload Nokia Maps V2.0 until I can be assured of its reliability. Unfortunately, I can not use the route
planning either as my licence relates to Nokia Maps V2.0. What I want is to either transfer my 2 licences to Nokia Maps V1.2, or have a refund for Nokia Maps V2.0 and then purchase licences for Nokia Maps V1.2.
Any assistance would be gratefully received. I have been in contact with Nokia Care who have suggested reloading maps 2.0, however I have already done this. They now suggest updating the phone software, however, it is at v 30.0.018 (pre-loaded) which is the latest version. I am due to take it in to my local Nokia Care Centre tomorrow and let them look at it.

Nokia N95 8gb screen acting up

Hi, I have a Nokia N95 8gb North America version. Recently, my phone started acting up. The phone would sometimes freeze when I'm using an app, but I could often just press the menu button and just go back. Also, the screen would sometimes become oddly coloured. However, now the screen is very, very weird. The screen is flipped and reversed, and some parts are cut off. I didn't drop it or anything when all of a sudden this started to happen. Unfortunately, my phone's not under warranty anymore. What can I do? Also, where can I find a care point in Vancouver, British Columbia, or are there any at all? Thanks

Nokia Care details are in this link..
http://www.techvibes.com/company-directory/nokia-canada
You may try upgrading / re-installing the firmware..
1. Download and install the latest version of OVI Suite from
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
2. Connect the phone to PC using the USB Cable (Suite Mode)
3. Open the OVI Suite
4. First take a Back-up of the phone (Tools-->Back-up).. as you may tend to lose data during the process..
5. Tools -->Software updates .. and follow instructions
Note : During the updates the phone may switch OFF.. do not worry.. It will switch ON on its own.Ignore any warnings you see in Windows Task bar.. Even when you see the update is complete.. do not disconnect the phone till it switches ON again...
Hopefully the problem should get sorted by now.. Restore your data (Tools-->Restore)
