Nokia N95 8GB refuses to update - help!

I've tried for months to update the software on my N95 8GB but various versions of PC Suite then Suite have respectively refused to work.
The Suite software has updated again, and I hoped this time maybe the update would work to update my phone's firmware, but again the same problem.
It was previously an error where it wouldn't download the update, and told me something was wrong. Now it does download the update, but during the software update process of the phone, when it's resetting the phone (and says to ignore warnings about USB connections), the phone simply turns off and doesn't restart. I can turn it on manually, but it doesn't help. I get 'connection with phone was lost' every time.
I really want to update the software to the latest incarnation, but this is beyond a joke. Anyone got any advice?
I've tried different USB slots, different PCs, different cables, every suggestion under the sun I've read online, but the phone just won't automatically restart and resume the update. Just turns off each time.
Any advice?

Un-install all Nokia related softwares thru' Windows control Panel and then fresh install Nokia Suite to see if that makes any difference.
You may try the latest Beta version of Nokia Suite from here ... Need to log-in using the same credentials that you use on this Forum, to download the installer.
If nothing works, you may get the phone updated thru' your local Nokia Care ...

Nokia N95 8gb latest firmware update 21/02/13

Hi, I have had a problem whilst updating my N95 8gb and now it appears, I think, that the firmware version I have is an older one than I had previously, but there isn't anything newer showing as availaable. I have 35,0.001. I am sure that the last time I had a problem, after it was "flashed", the firmware I had installed by the shop was this and then when I got home and went to restore my files, there was a new update available on line. The rreason I say this is that the icons and colours etc are like the version installed by the shop, about 1 year ago and when I updated the software everything was different. If what I am saying is correct, does anyone know if this newer firmware update has now been withdrawn or can anyone throw any light on the subject as I am a little confused! Thanks

If your N95 8GB is RM-320 the last available firmware for all product codes is v35.0.001. Using restore via Nokia Suite can only reset your individual personalisation settings.

Yes you are right,but some one who are in my list calls the ringtone starts noramlly but in middle it stops for 1 sec making some sound only 1 sec then the ring continues,i dont know why this is happening.
It sounds like you have the "Say caller's name" active within profile settings.
This will start the ringtone, pause, then a synthersized voice will pronounce the contacts name, then the ringtone will carry on again.
Depending on the wording you have stored in the contact's details, determines what the little voice says.

Nokia N95 8GB updates?

Should be receiving my nokia n95 8gb tomorrow
Just wondering if there are any updates I will need to download? (such as maps etc)
I'd have thought a new model would be fully updated but just to be sure.....
thanks

The firmware will be fully up to date as there isn't any updates yet.
You will need to install the maps manually using the software on the supplied CD, unless your network provider has pre-loaded them for you.

Nokia n95 8gb moisture in camera lens - HELP

Hi, I have Nokia n95 8gb and while have been in a shower I have left it in the bathroom and now my lenses are moistured/water from inside of camera/lens. How can I fix/dry this?
PLEASEEE HELP ME.

Many people take the phone into the bathroom whilst taking a bath or shower not realising this actually harms your phone!
Steam has entered the phone and turned to condensation and this is never good for an electrical product.
This will probably cause you many problems sooner or later, but for now remove the battery as having the battery in the phone whilst it is still wet is damaging your phone with current from the battery surging through all those components joint together inside with water.
Then put the phone in a warm dry place, where you have your boiler for your home as an example, and leave it there for a few days.
This should dry out any liquid there is inside the phone but only time will tell of the amount of damage has occured.

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

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 unlock code?

hi i have this nokia n95 8GB i bought from ebay and its got some lock code on it and i dont know what it is, neither does the seller how do i reset the whole phone without needing to have put the lock code in?

Updating the firmware on an N95-2 will reset the security code to 12345.
However, your original query wasn't that clear. Is it the phone's security code you're asking for or the unlock code that allows you to use SIM cards from networks other than the original one the phone was used on (so-called restriction code)? Only the original network can provide the restriction code.
Also make sure that it is in fact a genuine N95-2 that you have. There are countless fakes on sale on eBay.

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)

Nokia N95 8GB (Canada) - Chinese?

I bought a Nokia N95 8GB in Canada officially from local dealer (Rogers). Everything is in English which is fine. However, I wanted to install the 'Chinese-English-Chinese Dictionary' which is officially from Nokia!
It can be found here:
http://www.nokia.com.hk/A4700248
I have installed it, and when I use it, all the Chinese comes up in symbols and things like that.
Is there a language pack I can add or do I have to change firmware or what? I do NOT want my entire phone to be chinese, I want it to stay English, menu stays English, everything, just want to read chinese and chinese application.

There is a language pack but only a Nokia Care Point can install it. You'll have to take your phone along to a NCP and ask them to do that for you.
Note that there may be a charge for this because the absence of Chinese language support from your phone isn't a fault. Also note that you'll have to have the language pack re-installed if you reset the phone or update its firmware.

Nokia n95 8gb v15.0.015 problems?

Anyone holding Nokia n95 8gb and upgrade singtel branded firmware v15.0.015 and had chinese pack corrupted?
Was this post helpful? If so, please click on the "Kudos!" star. Thank you!!!!

Hello All,
I had upgraded my firmware again and the chinese font pack came back.
I am not sure if I downloaded my nokia software updater from Europe (which is a wrong version) or Nokia just uploaded a latest firmware of firmware.
This is the method which I had tried and it works.
I uninstall the NSU which I had and download again from this nokia website: http://www.nokia.com.sg/A4759024
and install.
Previously the firmware files were 105MB, but the firmware files were 111.2MB after I had downloaded the NSU from the Singapore Nokia website. I think the file size is bigger because of the Chinese fonts.
After I had upgrade, it shows :
Before version:
V 15.0.015
11-12-07
RM-320
Nokia N95 (54.01)
After the flash version,
V 15.0.015
11-12-07
RM-320
Nokia N95 (54.02)
So it means that you don't have to troublesomely take your phone back to the nokia care centre and queue up. Additionally you can save your time to do this at home.
Cheers~ All the best...

Some how i have managed to damage the Volume Buttons on the side of the phone and my volume for my music is set to the default "Volume Level"...(Which isn't very loud)
I need some help 'how to higher the volume without using those buttons on the side'
Please,
