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

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

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 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.

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!

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?

I like to know how to User a Nokia N95 8GB, as GPS...

Hiya Everyone,
I had download a great app called KISMAC Trunk for MAC OS X 10.5, within the app it has a GPS map, but i cannot work out how, by using my Nokia N95 8GB phone, as a GPS receiver, i can see that the N95 is getting singles from the satellites, but i would like to know if there is or is not, away for the GPS data to be able to be used by KISMAC software?
I have tried loads of thing, but i cannot get the Phone and the MAC to used the GPS data
Please can anyone shed any light how i could get a fix from my problem?
Thanks
Flouts

*nod@scoobyman*
and i can report success with [ http://www.symarctic.com/beta/static.php?page=extgps_download ]
i haven't used it in a while now, but if i recall correctly i used this app on my N95-1, and something like gpsX on my Powerbook to receive the gps data.
at the time i found these apps by searching for info on using my N95 as a GPS for google earth. i'd bet searching for info re: google earth will turn up more results than searching for info re: kismac (one is a bit more socially acceptable than the other).
goodluck,
-bit
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

Nokia N95 8gb Internet Explorer problem!

Hi all! I have nokia n95 8gb and let one of my friends use it to surf the net. Now when I try to work on the internet explorer, the connection keeps dropping off. I have checked and it's not my router which is the cause of it. Unfortunately my firewall and antivirus protection was not on while I gave my friend my phone to use. I have scanned the phone and nothing is coming up in the antivirus scan. There seems to be this message that comes up every so often when I am working on internet explorer and it's as following:
"/c:/system/dmgr/1008d39/contents/st.."
I am afraid there might be some malicious file that got downloaded onto my phone. Not too sure as to what is happening. If anyone has experienced a similar problem or can help me with this problem then I would really appreciate the help.

So I have been going through my history to find out what pages were opened that day and found out that the file 'st' is automatically downloading only when I open any livejournal page and then it diverts to the '\c:\system\dmgr\...' message. I have downloaded and run the KMS antivirus software but it doesn't pick anything up. All other websites that I visit are fine but when I open livejournal the 'st' file automatically starts downloading and then diverts to the page along with disconnecting from the WLAN.
I have downloaded the y-browser and deleted the respective file from c drive but everytime I try to access livejournal, that file starts up again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should try to deal with this? I would really appreciate the help. Cheers!

Nokia N95 8GB Speaker issue???

I just bought Nokia N95 8GB version and I was excited all about it. I have setup most of the softwares and settings that I had on my old N80 and I was going to enjoy the music by playing it on the new N95 8GB. However the sound is coming out from the normal speaker (where you put your ear to chat) and not off from the speakers on the side of the phone. When I'm receiving the call or message the sound is coming out from there but all the softwares are using the small speaker for talking and it's very annoying as I cannot hear anything..
If anyone knows the solution to this issue please let me know how I could solve it. I have tried to upgrade my firmware but it keeps coming up that there isn't any new one as yet.

it could be a hard wear issue or contact with moisture try the following
Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings
Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
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, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

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

Nokia N95 8GB and Windows 7 Home Premium Dutch

:robotmad:Ladies and readers, I have, including a Nokia N95 8GB the desktop is new and draaid on windows home premium en when I Vista had worked with the Nokia everything is perfect. Now that I do I get windows 7 have not been contract more Nokia N95 8GB through the desktop computer get the notification that the software is not good, but which I have already removed and again installed but there is also clear the need to install software that it is old windows and vista so there is not to WINDOWS 7 I will take place this is a major disaster for Nokia that, over time inspeeld on a real upgrade for the desktop so that there is also normal contact with the Nokia N95 8GB can be made. why it is not on the openingspagina of Nokia if it would have been! We are nevertheless service to clients and should do so we get a good appliance bought and not a WHICH CANNOT comuniseren with the computer since Microsoft now Windows 7 sells and what I am therefore in the original state I can install by an approved fitter. Therefore, I would like to see that Nokia a link sends so that I can make both wireless contact and the mobiletelefoon can facilitate upgrading and data can uitwissellen. Otherwise, this after 3 pieces my last Nokia. vetaling Babylon

Dude i think u just spoke french!
Sorry to say that i didnt get a word that you said.
I assume you have upgraded to windows 7 and are unable to use or install nokia pc suite.
First of all it aint nokia's fault that windows 7 came after they had uploaded the setup.
All you need to do is download the pc suite to you computer or laptop or whatever it is ... then right click on the setup and click compatibility mode nd just keep pressing next next next.
Im sure your pc suite will be installed then and you will be able to use your computer to transfer everything to and from the phone..
Have fun and lemme know if it worked.
Chances of workin = 101% because im on windows 7 aswell
