Make sure you buy an original nokia branded battery.
The cheap non-nokia ones that offer more power or longer lasting tend to be very unreliable and could damage the phone.
This is the battery that the N95 takes, BL-5F:

You can find it cheaper if you shop around, but make sure it's an original!

  • NOKIA N95 EXTREMELY POOR BATTERY

    Hei.
    I have bought Nokia N95 last week and returned it today after extremely poor battery performance. I observed following things:-
    1) I charged the battery full early in the morning at 6. I recieved just one call at 9 and my battery was finished at 2:30. Just for 8 hours standby time?
    2) I charged it fully, used GPS for 30 mins and battery was finsihed after 3 hours? What was that?
    3) I fully charged the battery connected to WIFI and did chat on MSN for around 1 hour and battery was finished exactly after 3.5 hours.
    Nokia builtup so great device and with so much poor battery?
    We will be getting battery replacement? or nokia will be releasing some new battery in future for N95?
    Anyone if having same problem with battery please post comments here or its just with my device?
    Waqar.

    selling my n95 on ebay
    battery is too poor
    i need a phone that dosent need charging 2x 3x every day just for average general use
    gonna go back to my n73 battery is much better operating system is nice and stable after v4 on n73-- i hate the key miss bug in the v12 firmware on n95 --
    i dont need wifi
    dont like maps and in built gps as it takes so long even with the assisted thing turnt on
    my n73 and tomtom is up and running in 1 min max via bluetooth gps
    allthough it would be handy to have the inbuilt one when i didnt have my reciever but my battery would prob drain after 1-2 hours :-)
    my gps reciever goes for at least 6 hours constantly connected probs much longer and that only cst 30 quid
    dunno i was just much more satisfied with the n73 as a contract upgade
    even the slider seems loose
    this device is supposed to cost 500+ quid on nokias website
    if i paid that i would be sooooo dispaointed
    just my view
    if your near a power source all the time or are in the car with a charger youd prob be ok but i just think nokia could/should have put a better battery in there i mean it plays music for like 3-4 hours then batterys drained a half decent mp3 player will last 10-15 hours and my n73 does 5-6 no probs :-)
    cheeses it even more they release the american nokia n95 with bigger battery

  • Nokia N95 Speakers

    Hello there,
    Have a problem with the speakers when playing music on my Nokia N95. I only here the music via the small speaker at the front, not the two at the side. My ringtone on the other hand uses the speakers on the side so it is not a hardware problem.
    Connected my philips SHB 9000 yesterday. With blue tooth connection I can make a telephone call, but when I play music I don't hear anything. When I use the cable connection from headset to telephone I can hear the music.
    Any ideas???
    Greetz, Frogboy

    Try these options one by one:
    1. Turn off your phone, leave your battery and SIM out for 5-10minutes and put everything back in and turn it on .
    2. Restore factory settings: type *#7780# at the standby screen. Enter 12345 for the security code or the one you've changed it to.
    Before you try the next two steps, backup your phone memory using PC Suite.
    3. Soft reset: This will clean up your phone memory. All user data, applications etc stored in the phone memory will be destroyed. Type *#7370#. Enter the security code when prompted; default is 12345.
    4. Hard reset: This is the last resort. Turn off your phone, press and hold down these keys: the call (Green) button, '*', '3'. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the region selection screen.

  • HELP!! Nokia N95 restarting !! and more!!

    Okay
    im now on my 3rd Nokia N95 from the 02 network
    the first 2 handsets had high pitch whining noise and awful sliders which were wobbling on the right hand side, appaulling workmanship, i dont even know how they were allowed to leave the Nokia Factory like this!
    maybe the workers were all drunk or something?
    it isnt only me thats complained of these faults, check all the other forums about the N95!
    anyway, my 3rd handset has been working ok
    (or so i thought)
    everything was working fine, no wobbly slider, no whiny noise..
    but about 3 - 4 times per day as of 3 days ago, the phone just restarts itself when its just sat there!!!
    WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING ?
    have i now got to sent this **bleep** handset back aswell?
    i dont want to drive 20 miles to nearest Nokia Service Centre, WHY should i ????
    i also left my house this morning at 5.30am to take a friend to the Airport, the phone was unplugged from the Charger with full battery life, i used sat nav to get there and back, its now 9.35am and i have 2 bars left on te battery life!!
    truly appauling if you ask me
    will new firmware sort the resarting and battery life?
    or do i have to just give up on this handset and buy another model by another Manufacturer?
    im at my wits end with these N95`s

    I saw some build quality issues highlighted on a review: you'd think they'd at least check phones that were going to reviewers!

    That's a typical problem for a newly released N-series. Unfortunately, this is only likely to be fixed by a firmware upgrade. Check you have the latest version. If you do: you're fresh out of luck .. for a while.

    That's no surprise at all: when you use the GPS the phone is working all the time. It's kinda like you made a 4 hour (or however long the trips were) phone call. The surprise is that you have any battery left at all!
    When I use my N80 for navigation, I usually have either the phone or the GPS receiver on charge virtually all the time.
    It's probably no consolation right now, but most of us who bought phones soon after their release have gone through very similar teething problems and we know how hideously frustrating they are. The good news is that if you do hold out, the 2nd or 3rd firmware release normally fixes the worst of the problems and you do finally get that awesome phone you thought you'd bought.

  • N95 Battery Indicator on 31.0.017

    Hi,
    I got a new N95 and installed software 31.0.017 via NSU.
    I noticed that the battery indicator stays at 100% a long time and suddenly there are low battery warnings. I searched several forums and found out that this bug exists for a long time.
    Is Nokia not willing to fix this? A working battery indicator is very important for me.
    Regards,
    Benny

    ok to me it sounds like u r phone needs to either be reflashed or taken to u r local service center for service
    as ive had the 31.0.017 for a long time now and have no issues with it whatsoever
    so my bet would be to try and update it again
    and see if that solves it
    it could also be your wireless connection is causeing some fault or the wireless password is wrong

    Go into your control panel, System > Hardware > Devices, look for the USB (Universal Serial Bus Controllers)

    Generic USB hub

    Bleah
    Simply right mouse click on all of them select "uninstall" once they've all been removed, restart your machine, windows will re detect all your USB devices, and hopefully this time windows will install either a newer or older version, different version of drivers.
    Then re-install..... there's not a lot else you can try.

  • Nokia N95 backlight problem...

    My Nokia N95 backlight has stopped working recently for no reason at all. The phone turned itself off and when i tried to turn back on i had to remove the battery to do so. ever since then the backlight has not worked. Has anybody had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it..?? I have already tried re formatting and that didn't work etc.

    Take it to a nokia care point because it has suffered a hardware failure. Failures like this usually happen after the phone has been dropped or bumped hard but it can just happen.

  • Nokia n95 charging

    my nokia n95 is chargeing all day and all night can someone help please :-( 

    Unplug it after a couple of hours (full charging doesn't take longer than that).
    Otherwise, check that you don't have background activity going on (e.g., Podcasts synchronization, email polling, web/RSS feeds updating, etc.)
    Any background activity will of course also deplete power and keep the phone charging.
    If there are no application configured to run in the background, then it might be a faulty battery, faulty charger or broken phone.

  • Nokia N95 : Cant Turn On

    My Nokia N95 is not turning on after I connect it on a usb charger.

    Yes, I kept the universal charger for hours and hours... Unfortunately, my N95 wasn't able to turn on. It only shows its logo for an hour. Without lights and sounds until the battery gets no more energy. 
    Thanks for your helping!

  • Nokia n95 crashes while upgrading the software

    When I was trying to install new software using nsu to my nokia n95. I noticed that the phone goes off and the nokia logo appeared (the light is off).
    In a minute, the PC I was using told me that the phone has been disconnected. So, it asks me to turn the phone off, remove and replace the battery and turn the phone on again.
    It happens again and again, about 4 times. The last time I tried that again, the phone won't turn back on.
    It just has the nokia logo and nothing else happened. I tried the hard reset (green button things) but it still didn't work.
    So, please help me.
    thanks.

  • Calendar system error (-1) with Nokia N95

    My N95 keeps presenting the error message "Calendar: system error (-1)" when I try to access the calendar.
    N95 with firmware V 12.0.013 19-06-07 RM-159 Nokia N95 (B1.01)
    Has anyone experienced the same error before? Any ideas on how to solve it?
    Thanks,

    Latest firmware for N95 is 20.0.015. Check with your product code on:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4577224
    Search the forums, though, for more info about this update, because there are some issues with SIP and VoIP. Overall, though, the phone increases its battery life, memory performance and camera image quality. The newer firmware is available since November 26th.

  • Nokia N95 8Gb Keypad Fault

    Hi All,
    I have a Nokia N95 8Gb which has developed a strange keyboard fault..
    The number and top plate buttons only work when the slider is virtually closed, with just the *,0 and # keys exposed. If you slide it all the way open, none of the keys work. If you slide it all the way shut, none of the keys work.
    I have tried removing the battery for a more than 30 minutes with no success.
    I have also carefully taken the phone to pieces and re-seated the ribbon cable plug and it all looks fine. There are no obvious splits or breaks in the ribbon although the phone is quite old and has seen some use! The screen works fine at all times.
    I cannot do a hard reset on the phone either by typing the number or power on key sequence as the buttons won't work with the slider open far enough to get to the keys. I have tried operating the phone with the front removed but this was not successful as the slider has to be in the exact position described above otherwise the keys won't work at all. I have however reinstalled the firware (version 35.0.001) and this will have done a reset on completion and this hasn't made any difference.
    I have a number of questions:
    1. Has anyone seen this problem on the N95 8Gb please?
    2. Any idea if it is likely to be a brake in the ribbon cable? (I would have expected to see a problem with the screen if this was the case though.
    3. Does anyone know if a fault with the ribbon cable would cause the main number keys to stop working too?
    Thanks!

    @Stolly: Reason for this is that this boards are the official Nokia discussion sites provided by Nokia. Taking any phone apart voids the warranty. Warranty voiding topics are no-go here even though your phone is 4 years old.
    People come here to seek help from Nokia users and there is a great chance that users believe it's okey and recommended to take their phones apart to fix the issues themselvs after reading posts. - In many cases people will make things worse and void their warranty, so when they eventually need to seek help at a Nokia care point, they will find themselv to be rejectet because their warranty is voided.
    Nokia won't support that.

  • Nokia N95 8gb problems - freezing, fuzzy screen et...

    Ok so been using the Nokia N95 8gb phone for about a week now and noticed that there is a tendency for the phone to freeze for up to 10 seconds like when opening other things such as Inbox etc. The problems mainly occur when the phone is slid shut, then when resliding the phone open the phone freezes or sometimes screen stays black until battery is taken out!
    When the phone is slid shut sometimes the screen goes fuzzy in places aswell like a TV with no reception. The text and theme on the phone sometimes goes a dodgy colour aswell like a negative photo and sometimes even goes back to front and the wrong way round?? Anyone else had similar problems or knows what this is??

    Its unlikely to have the same issue after doing a software upgrade, it could be some application on your memory card or the simcard .
    You may try the steps below
    - A soft reset by keying in *#7780# when on standby - This will not delete any data but will restore all the settings back to default.
    If that does not help then you may wanna try doing a hard reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone. DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
    The security code by default is 12345
    Also would be best to reformat your memory card and sim cards well as there might be some applications in there which is causing your phone to lag.
    Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

  • Nokia N95 8gb always have to set date and time whe...

    When I turn my Nokia N95 8GB on I always have to set the time and date, even when i've not removed the battery. I turn my phone off at night and in the morning when I turn it back on I have to set the time and date again and again and again, every single time I turn it back on. Does anybody know what's going on?
