When you say "cause this issue" I presume you mean the inability to upgrade the phone's firmware ?
If so no - it'll be because the firmware hasn't been released for your particular product code on your N95.
You can find your product code under the battery on your N95.
Although the phone might be able to use any SIM from any network this might not mean it was an original SIM free phone - just that it has been unlocked.
Is there any branding on the phone ?

Nokia n95 OTA update?

Hi Guys,
This my first post on this forum. So pl forgive me if this has already been posted elsewhere (i did look around before though)
Anyway, my query is: Can the nokia N95 be updated (firmware) OTA (either WIFI or 3G?)and how???
Thanks loads folks.
Cheers
Fuzzy

No, unfortunately OTA updates are not available.
Most models have the ability to be updated OTA but the system is not in use.
Your only options for updating are on a windows PC using the nokia software updater or at a nokia care point.

Nokia N95 and OS X 10.3.9

I'm currently running 10.3.9 and consequently iSync 1.5
I have just got myself a new Nokia N95 and did a bit of searching for a phone that would sync with a Mac, the N95 had support from Nokia - all good. However, I'm an idiot and didn't check which version of OSX you needed to use the Nokia plugin. It needs iSync v2 and consequently I can't even get my computer to recognise the existence of my phone in any form let alone sync.
I'd really like to be able to sync the phonebook and more importantly calender, and also to use the USB cable to import photos from the phone to computer and to put files from the computer onto the phone. I was hoping that the laptop would at least see the memory card as an external devise and be able to transfer on and off it but apparently not.
Is there any software out there that can get an iBook running 10.3.9 to sync with an N95 at all? I wouldn't even mind paying a small amout for the new version of iSync but it looks like you have to spend $129 to upgrade to Tiger which I really don't want to do when Leopard will be coming out soon and I'm considering an upgrade or new machine then.
Help? Please?

Until you either obtain Mac OS X 10.4.9 at a minimum, or Mac OS X 10.5 when it ships soon, you are stuck.
A Nokia N95 is not natively supported by iSync, and requires a plugin which itself requires iSync 2.4 Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later. The architecture in prior versions of iSync 2 and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.8 is inadequate to support current plugins, and does not exist at all in iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X releases 10.0 through 10.3.9. There is no workaround to this situation.
You can access the memory card and transfer media files bidirectionally using Nokia Multimedia Transfer beta release 1.1, but it too requires Max OS X 10.4.9, iTunes 7 and iPhoto 6 or later releases of both the OS and these applications.

Telstra Nokia N95 software update?

Hi all,
I recently purchased an N95 from a Telstra shop on 15/05/08, tried to update my firmware, have the latest version of PC suite 6.86.93, the N series PC suite, and the software updater. I've been reading the news on the N95 and Nokia states it's at version 21++ for firmware, doing the *#0000# check my Telstra N95 us coming up with firmware 10.02.006
Ok so I'm thinking sure, newly bought phone, I just need to update my firmware but that apparently seems to be impossible, everytime I try a firmware update my N95 it's telling me it's on the latest software for that phone.
Browsing around forum posts it would appear that not all N95's were created equal, I'm thinking Telstra is selling the N95-3, what I would like to know, and emailing Nokia customer service has proven to be quite useless on this matter:
ie stock standard cut and paste answers without them investigating this particular N95 variant's lack of firmware support, or being proactive in their solutions.
The response I had from them is you have an N95, the N95 is on version 21 for the firmware, phone companies that sell those phones sometimes have to verify the firmware before it can be put on, here's a link to the software updater, that's all fine, that's all information I could find out on my own too, what i would have liked them to tell me is, what version of firmware has Telstra allowed this phone to be updated to or is this a generic N95-3 lack of firmware love problem and if it is Telstra then do they have a liaison who can tap on the shoulder and say, "hey you know we are way ahead with the updates on firmware, you might want to update things on your end and let our customers keep up with the latest firmware other N95 users out there have access to because this really isn't representing our product at it's best..."
Or if it's a lack of N95-3 support, then what's being done about it?
Any other Telstra N95 users out there with this problem?

im thinking about going to the local nokia store and requesting a upgrade in firmware for free to try and bypass telstra's lack of progress.
They won't do it. That would involve removing the network-approved firmware and replacing it with generic firmware.

Nokia N95 - Software update v20.0.015 for Phone CO...

I purchased my Nokia N95 in the New York Flagship store in July. The phone hasn't really lived up to it's expectations and has been quite disappointing.
I have however been given hope with the v20.0.015 software update. I have just gone to update the phone however it is saying that the latest firmware is v12. This phone is unbranded, unlocked and purchased from your flagship store. I would like to know when the new software will be available for the phone CODE:0548763 so I can make my original investment of $812 work like it should have out of the box.

Yep, the same code as mine and no update.

Nokia N95 Software update

I recently updated ny Nokia N95 software from V12.0.013 to V20.0.015. Before updating as advised i had taken backup of all my data in memory card. After updating the software I restored the back from Memory card back to my phone. Even though all my messages, photos, music files where available but my Calender entries have been not been restored.
Can somebody please help me to know whether it is possible to once again restore the Calender entries back to the Phone 'Or' Is it possible to get this from the Memory Card. I had a practise of keeping record of important daily events in my Calender for the last 2 years which is now not available.

Can I just ask if your phone is network branded ? What network is yours phone on ? did you do anything different ? on mine its vodafone and it says version 11 is the latest ...
Mine is not Network branded. The new version is not yet made available for all the N95 Codes.
Nokia software update tells you whether the new version V20 is available for your phone. You have to know your phone code.

Nokia n95 and n96 made in finland, korea or china?

Hey all, I want to buy a nokia n95 8gb or a n96 with wifi and gps, im looking in ebay but im scared since there are a lot of fakers... some phones says they are authentic but they are made in china and/or korea. I want to know where are the phones made so I can get a legit one, not a clone?

check these two threads out and read through them carefully, the correct statement is marked with green/solution. hope this helps your quest. it does not matter where a genuine Nokia phone is made, it is still very much genuine, there are several factories in the world that make them hence, the difference in where they are actually made. it's a read worth taking

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 and Maps Software

Hi, Just recently I bought licence to Maps from Nokia for one month just to check how it works. The day I bought this I could not open Maps software for a single time. Because whenever I click on maps, its load 90% then it hang. I tried again and again nothing it does not open, I restart the mobile, nothing happen. Can you please inform me what can I do? Thanking you.

@countryjet123
Would need to know whether you are using Nokia Maps v2.0 or Ovi Maps v3 from here:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-n95/
Map data is different between these versions and most common cause of application crashing is corrupt or incorrect data.
You may need to delete E:\cities + .qf file, re-open Maps application to re-initialise application and re-define necessary folder structure for Ovi Suite > Maps to re-download regional mapping.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Now June 2010, nokia n95 and the "free navigation"

since the release of ovi 3.03, im sure many nokia n95 owners have been patiently awaiting free navigation, especially as it has been heavily advertised that smartphones will have free navigation forever.
now june 2010, there has been no new press coverage regarding nokia's stance for the n95 model since its exclusion from the list of supported phones. can we expect to receive no support at all in the future and give up hope? is it nokia's intent to dismiss these loyal customers and expect them to purchase phones which are supported? where do n95 customers stand with regards to free navigation now?

Correction. It was advertised that smartphones in the list of supported phones will get free navigation.
I own an N95 myself and would like very much to get free navigation for it. However the reality is free navigation was not on offer when I bought the phone and I bought it knowing that I had to pay for navigation. When free navigation was announced for selected current model phones, I was aware that the N95 was not on it. I don't know if the reasons for the exclusion are technical or commercial but it has been pretty much confirmed that no other FP1 phones will not be getting it.
However, as a very nice gesture, Nokia did significantly reduce the license charges for navigation which are now only around €10 per year or €2 a month for a whole region such as the whole of europe, which I think is very reasonable.

Nokia N95 and Panther

Can I sync a N95 8gb with 10.3.9 ?

No. Mac OS X 10.3.9 was released years before the Nokia N95.
iSync 1.5 does not have the Plugin architecture to allow additional phones to be added.
You need to be using iSync 2.4 or later with Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, plus an N95 iSync Plugin from Nokia:

Nokia N95 and HBH-DS970 BT headset not working

Hi,
I read on the web and reviews about DS970 working with N95 but for me it pairs fine but when it gets to the connect part it fails.
I have the latest firmware version v 10.0.018 (i think).
So far i'm impressed by the phone but i REALLY hoped to use my headset with the phone so a bit disappointed right now.
Any ideas?
BR /Reza

I found the solution.
I went to the SonyEricsson shop (100 meter from where i work ) and asked them if there were any update for the headset and they said there was so once it was updated it worked like a charm on first try. It does not show the file tag or name as with my W950i but works anyhow and thats whats important...
REALLY HAPPY now.
I was considering to buy a Nokia headset but i really like my DS970 so now i can continue using it

Nokia N95 not updating using the Nokia Software Up...

Hi guys
just got my n95 today, it has v10 fw on it and i would like to update it to v12.
ive downloaded and installed latest pc suite and downloaded the latest nokia update software
i run the updater and it says found new software (v12), please tick the box to acknowledge etc etc
so i click on ok, and it says updating....
then 2 mins later i get this screen:
http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/24429/2000451008485701969_rs.jpg
Which says "phone recovery - please remove battery and restart the phone"
so i got to take battery out and retry, but i get the same error. not too sure what to do now? the fw it downloaded was 113mb.
i have tried it on vista pc/laptop and a xp pro pc and still get the same error.
ive tried using different usb ports, connected the usb directly to pc (without any hubs etc) and still get the same error.
it looks like this n95 doesn't want to be updated. The n95 still works though, i just want to update its software
anyone had any thing similar? is there anything else i could try?
any help is much appreciated
thanksMessage Edited by bigup on 27-Jul-200710:15 AM

Handsets that allow for updating, have a small piece of software within them often called the boot loader, that allows the new upgraded software to be flashed into the device.
If the Boot Loader is damaged, then the upgrade of the device software from the Nokia Software updater cannot be performed.
A Nokia care point is able to rectify this because they can use the service connector on the handset to reflash the software with their equipment.
This will be done for free if your handset is in warranty.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
