Nokia N95 through Orange and Satnav

Can anyone advise. I purchased my nokia N95 via an upgrade through Orange. I wanted this phone specifically because it has satnav features. I was told that i could purchase the software needed to activate the satnav feature through Orange and that it would be at a small one off subscription fee and that there would be no further charges to use the Satnav.
Well i have just received my phone bill and i am being charged for using my satnav each time i use it !!! I specifically asked about this feature an the salesman clearly said that there would be no further charges. Also using the satnav i have found out that each time i download maps for the city of birmingham Uk which is where i live, because the software cant find simple adresses in the area, i am being charged by orange for this too!!!
I phoned Orange and they tell me that i will always be charged for using satnav as it connects to the internet via their web network. They told me that a third party were charging me for downloading the maps and not them. This, i have subsequently found to be complete BS
My question is
Has anyone found a way to use the satnav on the N95 without being charged for every second they use it or can anyone sugest another satnav system that can be used on the Nokia N95 that does not require regular downloads to simply use the maps that are supposed to be already included in the **bleep** software ????
Also can someone explain to me what WiFi is and what voip is ?
Cheers

you need this for the free maps http://www.smart2go.com/en/download
also the easy way to explain voip is to say.. connect anywhee in the world via wi-fi and call a mate (who also has voip) and it won't cost you a single penny. visit truphone for more info on voip, but unfortunatly for you, orange have screwed the handest so you'll have to install 3rd party apps to get the (unseamless) voip to work on your phone. see this thread. /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=42579#M42579Message Edited by rich_enduro on 08-Jun-200712:16 AM

If you can set up Asterisk on your machine then yes, you can register the SIP client in your N95 to it and use it to place VoIP calls through the VoIP provider of your choice (personally I use these folks and there's this hotwo document that should get you started.
NB: I don't know if Asterisk works on Windows and if it does, where its configuration files are located.

Nokia N95 sound quality and DAC

[IMG]http://www.cnet.com.au/cnet/i/r/2006/mobilephones/22130769/sc003.jpg[/IMG]
Hi
Ive been searching everywhere including Nokia for info and was pointed to this forum! ->
Does anyone know any specifics regarding the nokia N95's Sound Quality??
Specifically:
1. The DAC used in the N95 build?
2. The SQ Differences between the N95 and N91 (build and technical)?
3. The sort of amplification used in the N95?
4. How the amplification (if any) runs through the 3.5mm jack?
5. A comparison to the SQ of a staple player e.g IPOD?
6. Is there a possibility for lineout? (purely a query)
Any help here would be most appreciated !!

Here is the official Nseries specs bout music:
Music Features
• Digital music player - supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA/M4A with playlists and equalizer.
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• OMA DRM 2.0 support for music
• Stereo FM radio (87.5-108MHz /76-90MHz) with Visual Radio support
And I also learnt it has 8 band equalizer.N91 has a special music chip [forgotten who has made it] that was created to beat specially IPOD.Now IPOD has been redesigned but sound still sucks.
Already iREAVER, ZEN has beaten ipod.
I saw a tendency that whoever own this model barely [includin me] support this as best.
But its only upto nokia to keep it still best even after N95 released or not.
Instead can make another model over or as successor.
Plus, I donk think so mainly because y know HDD expansion is easier than SD MMC systems.
And play videos and songs better.
I am sorry that I could not give y a more depth technical feature.
But the fact is IT IS A MUSIC CHEAP ON WHICH LEADIN MUSIC COMPANIES GREATLY RELY ON.
And for nokia it is not impossible to make slightly inferior or superior to N91 Like sound machine and eventually all [music] phone will have this GOOD sound quality as standard....just a thought.
Hope y understand wat I mean.

Nokia N95 (1st edition) and 9 key

Hey all,
My girlfriends N95 has a very funny bug. I'm still not sure if it is a hardware issue or a sofware issue. Th eproblem is as follows. After x amount of time (sometimes a day, sometimes 2 hours) the 9 key on te numeric keypad will act like the red "hang up" key. When typing an sms message the message is discarted and the phone goed back to th ehome screen.
Th efunny thing is that this is usually solved by restarting the phone. I've performed a hard-reset on the phone last night, but that didn't solve the issue. After the hardreset a number of items were still on the phone (like appointments and contacts) so I'm not sure if it has actually fully reset the memory of the phone, or just restored all factory settings.
Any suggestions?

Hmm that is rather odd.
When you did a hard reset, did you still have your memory card in the phone?
I'd suggest you formatted your memory card (back up what you want from it first obviously), but don't restore any data for a few days and see if the problem still continues, maybe some kind of dodgey file is on your memory card.
If that doesn't change anything, perhaps a trip to a NCC is in order

Nokia N95-1 firmware update "for and against"?

What's new in new version and sense?
( i just don't want get new problems with new version firmware... )
Thanks...
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

New versions fixes problems with earlier versions (and probably adds new issues that weren't in the previous one).
Main benefit is more free (available) run-time memory (RAM) for applications.

Nokia N95 connection error

Hi Guys,
I would appreciate, if someone could help me with Nokia N95’s connection error problem. I have my Nokia n95 from orange. From last two weeks every time I try to make a call, I get an error saying ‘Connection error’. I tried upgrading my phone’s firmware from version 10 to version 11 but in vain.
I tried talking to Orange support staff but they turned out to be clueless.
cheers...

I've had this randomly on my phone on O2 before. I didn't get it from O2 though.
I've read somewhere in the past this is a common occurrence with all symbian or n-series phones.
But i've been in the middle of a call on my N73 and it fades out and then flashes up "Connection Error" and my mate has had this quite frequently on his Orange N80.
Hope this helps.

Nokia n95 does my head in!

Really? I bought this nokia n95 in feb, and the phone is **bleep**!
The screen keeps flickering, and I swear i charge it every night. Next morning, the phone shuts itself of during the day, and i have to re-charge it.
The screen keeps flickering, i can't even check the time or have many batteries on phone. I don't even know when to charge it.
The internet is slow, and when i try to type it takes forever for the words to load. And sometimes when i try to type it doubles the word.
Some of the applications doesn't open anymore. Which is annoying!!
I restarted the phone, and updated the latest software on phone and still no luck.
Its 6 month warrianty, and i only had this phone for 4 months..
is there a way to get money back or even get a new phone from the orange shop? I asked the lady on orange shop, where i bought my phone and they said to update it which i have!! Or they could take my phone back to nokia to get it fix for 2 weeks! Damn 2 weeks so long/

Nokia N95 is a piece of junk really. Battery is pathetic and the RAM is pretty low so therefore the N95 wont even last one day with that battery nor you can do very multi tasking operations which use big memory like N-Gage games. They did however add demand paging on to v20 firmware so you can run more apllications at the same time but it really dont make that difference.
alternative to N95 would be N95 NAM which is way better than Europe version of N95-1. Also the N95 8GB is another great alternative.

Nokia n95 8gb music problem

hey everyone i have the nokia n95 8gb phone and i am starting to have problems deleting and installing new music because i am trying to delete some of the music because it duplicated itself when i installed it the first time what would cause that and when i try to delete the music from the pc hook up or from the phone it just comes up deleting and after an hour nothing please help me figure this out please

If your phone didn't come with pre-installed applications on your phone, you may try formatting the memory card from your phone, and see if that solves the issue.
For the other case, you may wish to backup your memory card contents, and then format it.
I think formatting should resolve the problem.

Nokia N95 8GB Speaker issue???

I just bought Nokia N95 8GB version and I was excited all about it. I have setup most of the softwares and settings that I had on my old N80 and I was going to enjoy the music by playing it on the new N95 8GB. However the sound is coming out from the normal speaker (where you put your ear to chat) and not off from the speakers on the side of the phone. When I'm receiving the call or message the sound is coming out from there but all the softwares are using the small speaker for talking and it's very annoying as I cannot hear anything..
If anyone knows the solution to this issue please let me know how I could solve it. I have tried to upgrade my firmware but it keeps coming up that there isn't any new one as yet.

it could be a hard wear issue or contact with moisture try the following
Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings
Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.

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

I recently bought a Nokia N95 for myself and my son, i've heard a few bad things about the battery can anyone tell me what spare battery i should get that will last as i use the music player a lot. many thanks

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 on O2

Hi
Im looking to buy a Nokia N95 on O2 and was wondering whether it would be okay to update it to the latest firmware?
thanks

O2 has only just recently approved the v20 firmware for use on it's network, 6 months after that version was released. Most networks are slow to approve new versions and some don't bother at all.
No one knows if O2 will ever allow it's customers to upgrade to the new v21 firmware.
