If sweat is the cause as you seem to think then it would suggest a hardware fault rather than software.
I suggest you take/send your N95 to your nearest Nokia Care Point for evaluation.

  • Nokia N95 multimedia key playing up

    Hello, I recently purchased a 2nd hand N95 8GB. At first it seemed to work quite finely however after a day or two the multimedia key (that useless key located to the left of directional keys) started playing up by just randomly pressing itself. Most of the time it works normally and then completely at random it will start playing up, entering my music folder and playing songs. I've tried updating to the latest firmware, restoring it to factory setting and erasing everything off of it but to no avail. The key itself isn't physically stuck in any way. I think the phone was originally locked to a network, but it was then unlocked and had Nokia's firmware installed on it. If someone could help get this fixed I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

    well I have managed to mod a plug in, so it now see's it however it won't transfer music/photos to it.
    Also I notice when I mount it as mass storage it is only usb 1, which is a little slow when you are transfering gb's

  • N95 8G's keys are terribly clicky

    I don't mean the software beep, I mean the physical click. Is there any way to reduce the noise? It's embarrassing to try to quently send a message on a meeting and get everyone's attention.

  • Nokia N95 - Faulty ?

    Hi Everyone I am new here...
    I dont know if this post is in the right place.. but my question is
    I have a Nokia N95 which is N95 RM-159 v21.0.016
    Well the problem, I have is when I switch my Nokia N95 on... The Keypad lights will show up.. after the mobile goes onto stand by the Lights will switch off and wont show up again ? (Im talking about the blue LED lights)
    Any Ideas what it might be ?
    Cheers

    Are you referring to the lights in the camera and volume keys? These were blue in some versions of the N95, my girlfriend's N95 Plum has blue lights behind these buttons. They normally flash as the phone goes into standby, what exactly was the problem? Are they not coming on again at all after the phone has been in standby, even when you reanimate it?

  • Nokia N95 not responding

    Hi,
    I got my Nokia N95 one month before,when i try to call or use menu but handset not responding. Frequently i have to switch it Off and then turn On again.
    Please Help Me.
    Thankx

    *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
    *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working. Turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button.
    re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
    try these things. remember to back up your phone. the last two options will erase your phone memory. also remove the memory card when you perform these operations. start with the factory restore and if that does not work go down the line.

  • LoadVars not working on Nokia N95 (US)

    Hi there,
    Each time my FL 2.0 standalone app tries to connect to a
    remote server, the application quits after I selest the WLAN
    connection to use for the connection from the system dialog. Below
    is the code in question. Running on the Device Central emulator
    works fine. Anyone else run into this issue?
    (Note, I've also tried this with Nokia's tutorial app:
    http://www.bysamir.fr/flashlite/nokiadev/Latest_Nokia_Devices.zip
    - same problem)
    Sequence:
    1. Launch SWF as standalone app
    2. Enter text in textField within app
    3. Call loadVars function
    4. System dialog appears asking which WLAN connection to use
    5. Select Access Point (AP) in system dialog
    6. Application quits! ??
    NOTE: I can connect to the AP normally using the web browser
    on the phone, so I know the connection works.
    var myListener:Object = new Object();
    myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
    if (Key.getCode() == ExtendedKey.SOFT1) {
    // Handle left soft keypress event.
    sendText(inputField.text);
    } else if (Key.getCode() == ExtendedKey.SOFT2) {
    // Handle right soft keypress event.
    fscommand2("Quit");
    Key.addListener(myListener);
    function sendText(myText) {
    responseField.text = "sending msg";
    var rvars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    rvars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
    responseField.text=this.msg;
    } else {
    responseField.text = "Failed!";
    var svars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    svars.inputMsg = inputField.text;
    svars.sendAndLoad(myURL,rvars,"GET");
    Device: Nokia N95-3 (US Edition)

    Using Sony Ericsson k800i with itunes non-drm tracks and they are playing without any problems. Used itunes agent application to sync phone memory card with itunes smart playlist (filter for "purchased"). Great that I can now use purchased itunes tracks on my ipod and phone!
    Maybe the N95 only supports aac up to a certain bit rate? Or check the file format (m4a?).

  • 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 problem

    HI i have a nokia n95 8gb and it enters in the gallery without me pressing any button.As soon as i unlock it it enters in the gallery.I can't even take a picture or enter the contacts because it kepps entering in the gallery at images and videoes.I tried updating the soft and resetting the phone but the problem persisted.What should i do?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The only thing I could think of is that the Key that's next to the shutter key, the one that has what looks like a Play key is pressed in.
    This key causes the Gallery to start and show the last picture taken. It may have malfunctioned.
    You would need to take it to a service point or repair technician to take a look at it.

  • 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 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

  • Help with my nokia n95 please.

    Hi all.
    I am with 3g network, i had a free upgrade a few months ago, did not like the mobile they sent me ( nokia 6288 ).
    So i bought a brand new nokia n95 from ebay, locked to vodafone network.
    I had it unlocked saturday and put my 3g sim card in it.
    The phone is working, but i could not send picture messages or brow,s the web.
    I managed to sort those 2 probs out with the help of the nokia website, had to download 2 codes for my phone.
    does anyone know how i can get my gps to work with the 3g network ?.
    I did phone my network provider, and was told it will not work, becouse my n95 needs to be locked to the 3g network.
    Can anyone help me please.
    Regards
    Ken.

    Hi kenbo
    Although "voice navigation" requires purchasing a license, GPS feature is not network dependent. You can however have a free "3 day trial"
    Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed.
    Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.
    If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
    This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle = signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
    Depending upon which version of Nokia Maps is installed on your N95 you may either have satellite icon bottom right of your screen or satellite icon with three yellow or green lights.

  • Nokia N95 Connectivity

    After trying for over 3 days, reading so many threads about connectivity problems with the N95 8GB, I still can't get it to connect. I have tried everything. I manually deleted all Nokia/Nseries/N95/PcSuite/ Pc Suite keys from the registry, I have removed all drivers / cable drivers. Bluetooth drivers.
    I have reinstalled everything and I still cannot connect.
    My Specs:
    Computer Model: HP Pavillion DV2000Z with the HP bluetooth stack.
    I can pair the device with HP bluetooth software and send files via "OBEX file send" option. (FTP connection to the N95). However, the N95 Nseries Pc Suite software just wont connect, all connection options are greyed out. I have also tried using a USB cable (from my digital camera, I didn't purchase the extra cable that came with the device) and when connected I selected "PC Suite" on phone it still did not connect. (Windows installed drivers for the cable/phone?, in the device manager it's called: "Wireless Communication devices" and lists 6 drivers:
    1) Nokia N95 8GB USB GENERIC
    2) Nokia N95 8GB USB LCIF
    3) Nokia N95 8GB USB OBEX
    4) Nokia N95 8GB USB OBEX
    5) Nokia N95 8GB USB OBEX
    6) Nokia N95 8GB USB PHONE PARENT.

  • Who can solve iSync problem with Nokia N95? (I use the Nokia plug already)

    Hello
    Since I bought my new cool Mac:, I sync my N95 with iSync and the Nokia N95 plug-in. Thinking at first that is works flawlessly (as other members here seem to think as well) I later found out, that if I make changes to any calendar or "to do" description! on either the N95 or the Mac it syncs, but only up until a certain number of characters. If I exceed this number, the description on the phone will simply be cut off - in the iCal it still fully appears though.
    Rather surprising, since when syncing with a PC via the Nokia PC suite there is no such an issue. All my often lengthy descriptions are fully put on the phone. And if I sync back there are no problems either. So I guess it has to do with the iSync protocol or this Nokia N95 iSync plug-in? Any ideas, solutions...? Any help greatly appreciated!

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.
