Nokia N95 Screen

Hey
I got the N95 and I once used a toothpick to remove some dust between the cover and screen(edges) so now when I look carefull under the cover in sun light I could see that I scratched the rubber in between and the metal behind shows just about 1cm long. I mean it is VERY VERY small, and hard to look at but the rubber has been pushed back, and part of the rubber now is sliced 1cm and you can see the meatal behind it through the opening. But you have to look REALLY REALLY carefully in sun light to see it. So what should I do, should I sell the N95 and get a different mobile or should I just leave as it is...and it does have warranty.

It is totally depending on you.
You are very sensitive.
I may have suggested you not to cahnge that unit as it is not in serious trouble or anyone would figure it out hardly.
But if you are really unsatisfied with the evnt, change it.Message Edited by korngear on 14-Sep-200708:09 PM

Nokia N95 Screen Broken - Oxygen Phone Manager and...

Hey,
I have a problem on a Nokia N95 8GB, the screen is totally smashed, however i am trying to transfer the contents of 'My Folders' under Messages onto My Computer before sending it to be repaired. Nokia PC Suite has a major flaw in that it cannot transfer the contents of My Folders and since my screen is smashed, i cannot transfer them back to my Inbox. I have downloaded Oxygen Phone Software but it requires me to go into Applications Manager and find thier application that they installed and select USB Connection. If anyone has done this before can you please give me the keyboard instruction? For the wider audience, can anyone instruct me (in key directions) how to transfer the contents of 'My Folders' into my Inbox? Can anyone help me?
Huntsman
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have a Multi monitor (where you can use the tv cable on N95). Use that to switch between PC Mode / and the N95 Connection Mode and use for guidence on how to backup your data.
I would advise you to use Nokia PC Suite.

Nokia N95 Screen Backlight Problem! Please Help Wi...

Its been about 9 month since I purchased Nokia N95. Last night, when I was watching a video, its screen backlight began to flickr. It turned very dim and then restored. It turned again compeletely off, then came to its normal brightness. I tilted the phone in all ways, hto it gently to know whether some wire inside is loose, open and closed the slider. But the screen went on and off itself. I reset my phone by hard formatting (*#7370#) but of no use. The next day, it did the same. After two days, now it is stable. But I fear it might be started again.
I want to know can this problem be due to some moisture inside my phone or is it because of some hardware proble. And please suggest what should I do. My phone is still under warrenty, but the phone is stable for at least a whole day. Should I carry it to warrenter for repair?
Any suggestions in this regard? Please reply with practical experience and not a hypothetical reply.
I appreciate your cooperation.

Nokia N95 screen has some flickering.

Question: where to buy the Flex Cable for Nokia N95. The 1st version one.(not 8GB). I want to buy the original Flex Cable.

Flex cable should only be replaced by a Nokia Care Point. Trying to replace it yourself will involve disassembling the phone and we are not allowed to discuss that here.

Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

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.

NOKIA N95 8GB SCREEN ROTATE FEATURE

hello i just got my nokia n95 8gb, and in the manual on pg 95 it says the phone has a auto screen rotate feature under setting>General>personalisation>display>screen rotate
but there is no such setting in my phone??
I have V15 firmware. please help, thanks

No, when v20 is released into NSU it will be there. Just keep checking for it here. I'm sure when V20 comes out it will be big news.
Also I recommend you check what new "features" this v20 may have as you may want to stay in v15 if you don't want some of the "new features".

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 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 N95-3 Screen Problem!!

I recently bought a Nokia N95-3 from Amazon and this is the 6 day that I have it. Last night it was almost fully charged. I left it atop one of my drawers and haven't touch it until about 10 minutes ago. I tried to unlock it and notice that it was turned off! I was wondering why it had turned itself off. I go into my room to charge it and it says low battery! I was wondering how that happened since when I left it last night no programs were running and the backlit light was off. And on the bottom right side of the screen I notice a little something. First I thought it was a smudge, then a pencil mark. I tried to get it off using a microfiber cloth that I use for my camera's screen and that didn't work. It looks like a heart moniter black line about 1 cm long. I have been very careful with my phone and I haven't scratched it,dropped it, or used it carelessly. I even use the little pouch it came in to protect it. Here are some pics of it. Tell me if I should contact Amazon or Nokia! Thanks!

I have the same problem too. I got 2 growing (and shrinking) black lines near the top. The problem started to happen a few hours after buying it. The weird thing is, the 2 lines grows and shrinks on daily basis. However, when they shrink, they always come back to the full length afterwards. I think this is more of a software related issue than hardware.
Sending an email to Nokia customer service didn't help. They just didn't reply back.
I will try to take it back to the store (CompUSA) for a replacement. It's very frustrating. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

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!

N95 screen goes black when in between open and clo...

Just noticed today that the screen goes black when sliding open or closed. Screen comes back on when slider reaches open or closed. Is this like the blank screen fault that affected so many N80s ? I'm very disgusted that I have to pay to fix my 16month old (expensive) N95 for an ongoing issue with Nokia sliders that they HAVE NOT fixed in their design. Very poor support Nokia.

Scott your grieviences are justified... but there is always a solution to a problem...even if this is a strange problem to be handled in an off the routine way, be it so... once again best of luck! not blame nokia for anything...nokia rules as always and nokia's productions have become very slow now :-( i wish they could make trendy phones like sony, sleek and stylish with new features.in some ways, nokia gets a little boring with no new features.. i dont feel any differnce between the nokia n95 8gb, n96 and n85(which i currently own)!
Scott lets hope for the best :-)

Nokia N95 8 Gigs "The Phone that got forgotten"

Dear Nokia Support,
After I have bought this phone, I was not as please with the price and over all service that I have received from Nokia. I didn't care that it was expensive, but the service... Lets me begin where I have bought this phone for over 24,500 baht (Central World Power Buy, Bangkok, Thailand) [new copper color, N95 8 gigs]. I've bought the phone for the look, services, GPS system, but I am sorry to say that I didn't get any of that.
Lets start from the back; the GPS system. It takes so long to get the sat. lock, not even counting the time to calculated route, I was confirm with the Nokia Customer care that it will be resolve when I upgrade the firmware to 20 something. Unfortunately, when I have upgraded my phone, the phone act very weird and GPS function take even longer than it was before; even with the aids of GPRS where it should have taken only a few mins if not less. It would taken over 5. (this function become obsolete for me, as it is not helping me in anyway)
Secondly, as it was claim on the website of Nokia that Nokia have the best Care service. It was not for me, at first it was ok, as I was in the shop to get my phone firmware update, i got premium services and being taken care off right way. The reason that I was in the shop the first time was because I was using the Windows Vista at home, Nokia Care software was not support it (talk about up to date??) The second time however was different (MBK, Bangkok, Thailand) I didn't show my phone like the first time, I simply told them that my phone need fixing. My N95 screen went blank all of the sudden, I could make call normally but I could not see anything on the screen. One of the customer rep. told me that it would take 3 hours to fix the phone. So I was very please that I was being taken care off. Before I am going further, I would like to add that I have only use this phone for little over 3 months, I have never drop the phone or expose to any wet condition, and I have always keep the phone in the leather pouch that I bought for it. Now, back to the story. One of other rep, came over and told me that she could not find me on the system and I would need my recipt to get my phone service... (wait.. I bought this phone to 3 months, yet already have service here once.. and I still need a recipt??? I was very **bleep** at that point as the way they are saying that I would not get my phone services for I have not have my recipt... eventually she went to the back and finally saw me on the system. At that point she gave me a different answer than the rep. that he was handle me before, she said this phone need to be send to the center and it will take over 2 weeks for it to be fix. After argue for a while, she said that she will need to ask the tech. and she got back to me and say that she will have the tech. try to do something to the phone (I guess replacing some hardware) for 3 hours and she will either get back to me or I have to come back in 3 hours. After 3 hours has passed, I came back to the Nokia Care Shop and ask for the status of my phone, and found that they were waiting to talk to me about the phone. She said the phone have some water stain inside, and it will not be handle by Nokia as it is void the service agreement (well, my phone have not been anywhere near water or drop anywhere, the only reason this happend is only maybe from the my sweat.) and it is going to cost me over 2,200 baht to fix the phone as water mark void the service agreement.... well my phone was void because of normal use.. and it has only been 3 month. I guess Nokia is not for me, as I can't even sweat when using the phone. and I am not talking about a lot of sweat either, because my office is always in the air conditional Building. It was not as bad if she have called me faster to lets me know this other than letting me hang around for 3 hours and ask for the status. Now I have to wait 2 weeks. This is what I got from the best of service care in thailand. Furthermore, I know I could have just walk to the other end of the mall and get my phone for maybe half the price and possibly in less than an hour. Maybe I was stupid....
That was it, maybe it was my mistakes to even pick this phone from the begining, it wasn't cheap, changing it to a dollar is over 700 dollars phone. I was left with no choice, the phone is in parts in their hand. In order to fix my phone I will have to pay for the repair... or else I would just lost that 24,500 baht that I have just invested on the phone for merely 3 monthes. I will mark that Nokia is not for me and I will never buy anymore of Nokia Product. Expensive yet not user friendly. As soon as I got my phone back from the service, I am just going to sell it.
Soravis,
very disatified customer of Nokia

Check these:
(1) Phone software version - v20 and up have better GPS handling than earlier versions, if you have earlier than that then update.
(2) Maps application version - if you have v1.2, update to v2.0 (this version will be inbuilt if your phone can update to software version 30 anyway) - this version is much improved.
(3) This model has its GPS receiver positioned beneath the keypad, rather unusually, so make sure you have the slide open when using GPS.

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.
