Nokia N95 USB Problem

I have a problem with my Nokia N95-1 considering the USB transfer to my Memory Card.
I have a 1GB Kingston MicroSD, the latest software (V 20.0.015, 13-11-07, RM-159, Balkans Pack, updated from V13); PC Suite v6.85.14.1 on Windows XP Professional.
While I was transfering some 300MB of music to the MicroSD, Explorer crashed and reported that data might have
been lost during the transfer. I checked my phone and noticed "ghost" files on the memory card (free memory was reduced by 300MB, but the phone couldn't register new files). I retransfered the files, disconnected the phone and started the Music Player.
Music Player said "Repairing corrupted database", hanged for a while and then added newly transfered files to the track list. But, when I tried to play a file, it refused to do it and said "Generalystem error". Phone became slow and impossible to operate, so I had to restart it. Same problem occured again, and similar things happened in File Explorer (shows nothing on the card), LCG Jukebox and LCG Xplore (get stucked when they access it or refuse to start files).
After this, I removed the MicroSD - after this, everything on my N95 returned to normal.
Since then, I've tried to change the USB Cable, USB Port, USB Transfer mode; tried to reformat my MicroSD many times with many formatting tools - Phone Memory Card Manager, Windows Formatter, KillDisk, Panasonic SDFormatter - but the result always remained the same: after I retransfer the files to the card, it becomes useless until I reformat it again.
These programs didn't register any corruptions, but Windows Formatter and Panasonic SDFormatter would sometimes report that they were unable to reformat the card.
I tried to insert the MicroSD into my MSI Mega538 MP3 player, reformat, and then transfer files to it. Again,
transfer itself worked okay, but when I inserted the card into my N95, same problem occured. I tried to transfer
some files to the Phone Memory via PC Suite - it worked great.
I tried to insert my friend's 1GB Kingston MicroSD into the phone. It registered it perfectly - Music Player has
refreshed the database, registered new files and played them without any problem. Same goes for the Gallery - some
400 images and videos were recognized right away, and the phone itself worked fast and stable.
When I bought my phone, I had no problems at all - files could be transfered normally, Music Player would simply
refresh the database, and I could use the files easily - no problems, system errors, system hangs or restarts. But after that Explorer crash, I simply can't use the memory card any more.
Sorry for long post, but I really need your help. Is the memory card corrupted, is it a hardware or software problem
with my N95, or is it a Windows glitch?

Hi ivanik,
I strongly believe this is an issue with the card. Seeing that the phone works fine without it and works with a different card perfectly...
Perhaps it is an issue with the data that your transfering to the card. It may not be compatible to the phone. Thus the phone lags and doesnt play the files.
Try loading different data... perhaps one from a source...
Try this once you have formatted your card...

  • 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 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 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.

    It isn't possible for you to roll back the firmware update. You could try asking your local Nokia Care Point if they will do it for you.
    Have you tried the 3 finger hard reset?

    I've once read this kinda prob in other thread, but the different is the handset,its N82, instead yours, N95.
    Try this: rename/remove wdf01000.sys from windows\system32\drivers\
    Next time you plug your phone,the USB Phone Parent driver will be automatically installed (or upgrade drivers from Device Manager in Control Panel > System > Hardware. If not, try to uninstall all nokia apps (pc suite,etc), rename the file above, then install the nokia apps.

  • Nokia n95 updating problems

    i have problems updating my phone to the newest version as it dowloads it ses updating failed then it ses connect you phone straight ti the usb hub behind the p.c after doing it 5 times its still has the same problem what can i do how cam this be solved

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answers.
    At the end, the only option had been to take the mobile to a Nokia Center. So I'm without GPS...
    One thing that i don't understand is how Nokia don't change the way of updating the phone firmware, as the actual way don't seem secure...
    The technician in the Nokia Center recommended me that the next time it's better that I don't try to update the phone because it fails a lot of times. (Also said that there are no benefits in updating it... I don't agree much with him :-P). But as i have seen on the net, that kind of error happens a lot, leaving the mobile "dead" and the only way to repair it, is sending the mobile to Nokia...
    At least the warranty covers it and the repair is for free...
    Kind regards,

  • Nokia MAPS USB problem...

    hi... it's me again with a different problem...
    these past few days, whenever i tried to open Maps, there's always this "message" popped up, saying : please disconnect USB to use Maps.
    i can understand if this "message" popped up when my C7 was connected via USB to my PC. but this also popped up when it was not connected via USB.
    what should i do so i can use Maps again ? the last time this happened, i had to *#7370# the phone...

    Thanks to Shrik for this very nice solution...
    I had to follow step 4 to 11...  !!! Including a reboot of my PC (while NokiaC7-00 connected)
    to convert the bad bad "lock-maps" content into a deleteable file ... !!!
    However.... i did this some weeks ago (2+ weeks) and yesterday i discovered the same prob. again when starting OVi Maps ....
    So, i did this nice procedure again..... and luckiliy it worked again..... (convert and remove lock_maps) but, i'm not convident for the future: i don't wanna end up doing this procedure each month.......
    Besides, since i have some little knowledge of computers/mobiles ans their filesystems it was very easy for me to solve this issue, however i can imagine that an "average user' could have lot's of issues following these steps.....
    So, my polite shout to Nokia is: PLEASE FIX THIS BAD FILE SYSTEM HABIT! ....
    PLEASE, PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!!
    Kind Regards,

  • Nokia N97 Usb problems

     Hi, I own a Nokia N97.
    I can't seem to connect my usb to my desktop. I've tried and tried, but my desktop doesn't sense it. My phone does. When I connect it to the computer, it gives me a choice of PC suite/Mass storage/Image Transfer/Media transfer. Which should I choose? I want to transfer my n97 images to my desktop. So which should I choose? I've tried all, none works. Please help me !

    Hi VSinha
    This probably happens because when you connect your phone with usb, you choose (or the phone automaticly chooses) the "Mass Storage" mode.
    If that is correct then when you connect the phone to the pc , choose the "Pc Suite" mode and that might solve your problem.
    I hope that helps , and please let me know
    Phones I bought from 1st till now:

  • Nokia c3 usb problem

    Hey, I have a problem with my C3. When i connect my phone to the computer with the usb cable the computer doesn't recognise it, I tried with a 6303 and it works. Any ideas, do I need another usb cable ar something?

    Hi all,
    Sorry to hear you have had trouble connecting your devices to the PC. Have you both tried a hard reset which involves you to back up before hand, because it will delete all data from the device. Then by entering *#7370# into your device, when prompted for a passcode, the default is 12345. 
    Also, make sure you have the latest software by entering *#0000# and there will be an option for software update if it is available.
    Let us know how you get on after a reset.
