Nokia N96 problem

Please tell me how to rename songs in n96 music player?
I now its rename only on computer but I dont now how...please tell me detail I am not very smart for phones...thank you...and sory my very bad englisch.

Actually if you go to file manager you will only rename the FILE not the actual song.
In the MUSIC PLAYER. Select the song you want to edit then select OPTIONS -> SONG DETAILS
Then you can edit all the metadata.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Help - Nokia N96 Problems

I hope someone can help me out here.
I have had the Nokia N96 as part of an 18 month contract on O2 UK since April and ever since i've had the phone, I've had nothing but problems with it and i'm really am up to the point where I'm so fed up with it, I'm taking my other phone on PAYG with me everywhere I go.
I find the N96 is extremely slow at loading up messages, it's sometimes slow at keeping up with your texting, it has 3 times this year deleted every message in inbox, drafts & sent after the phone has been switched off. It's also restarted itself on a number of occassions.
Today, my phone went flat because I hadn't charged it up and so when I got home, I put it on charge and turned the phone on so I could check my messages. The annoying thing is, the home screen wouldn't load up the icons or the text for 'Messaging' and 'BBC iPlayer' so I went to the menu (as you would) and selected 'Messaging'.
"Messaging: Already in use" is the error I get. Clearly, it's not in use, so I took the phone off charge, removed battery etc etc. Still same problem, done a firmware update, still same problem, reset the phone, still the same problem.
I can not find a solution for this, really in a foul mood because of this as I am unable to send messages or view messages on my phone.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

have you the correct message centre number
try the following codes then try update firmware
rad 24 for cred on the codes
With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work.
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 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. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Nokia N96 - Problem Updating Music library

Hi, I have transferred some music to my N96 and I am now trying to Update my library to show the new tracks. I have done this lots of times without a problem but today I had it refreshing for 2 hours and it didnt change off the refreshing screen. I have tried stopping it and taking my battery out and still no joy.

Since posting this problem I have been able to use the Music Player quite normally.
The problem and solution, I believe, lie in the way that Nokia's proprietary software (in the case of Macs this is Nokia Multimedia transfer) organises music files.
Nokia Multimedia Transfer organises music into folders named A-Z (and 0-9 if applicable) by artist on the phone. It also truncates folder and file names - folder names seem to be truncated to 13 characters and file names to 9 - fortunately, ID3 tags are not affected.
Any attempt to subvert this hierarchy will result in an incomplete scan of the music library. As Nokia and other methods result in completely different file structures it is necessary to remove all previously synched music from the phone and making a clean sync using Nokia's software.
Additionally, I discovered that as I was trying to synchronise multiple media (music, photos, videos, bookmarks) the whole process would become kind of stuck - that's why I tried alternative methods of synchronising my music. I have completely given up on all other media synchronisation for the sake of getting the music sorted out.
This isn't ideal but at least it works and it saved me from jumping up and down on my phone in shear cartoon frustration!

Nokia n96 problems .. HELP?!

Thanks guys!

Hi,
You can try the 3 key reset.
Switch off the phone. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (Call answer key), * button, and '3' button. While holding these buttons, power on the phone. Release when the phone shows the Nokia hands Logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen. If this doesn't work, then you should visit the nearest Nokia Care Point.

Nokia n96 update problem

Hello
i have problem with my nokia n96, when i open nokia pc suite and go to software update show me 11.101 and only two applications are available: mail for exchange and nokia messaging. I do not see there download the software or something like that. Software is from 2008 i want to update this phone but i can't. I downloaded NSU but this can not install... Please HELP. I want in update polish language.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is your phone locked to any Network ? Availability of update depends on region / Product Code and also for locked devices an approval from the Operator is needed. In any case it seems quite a long time that the phone has this version. You may ask your local Nokia Care whether they can help updating the Firmware to the latest version ...

Problem nokia n96

My nokia n96 often restarts that makes me feel so embarrased.
what to do?

The hard reset effectively returns the phone to its out of the box state. If it is a software fault then this should sort it out. The biggest risk is losing your data, so make sure you backup your phone because you will need it to restore your data to your phone. Also make a second backup set without the phone settings. Phone settings have been known to cause problems when restoring.
From your posts, I think at this stage you don't care as long as it stops your phone restarting all the time.
If the camera issue is software related as well then this should solve it too.
Good luck.

Nokia N96 Internet (GPRS) problem!

TO ALL NOKIA USERS "PLEASE HELP US"

Rustik,
Hi, I'm also in Chad and also have a brand new Nokia N96, and getting the same error "Packet data connection not available" when I'm trying to connect to internet.td.zain.com GPRS access point.
This is not a problem with the SIM Card or service activation, because I went to customer service today and they checked my phone subscription and everything was okay, and then I tried by SIM Card on a Nokia N95 8GB and internet worked fine.
I put another SIM card on my phone, still same error, deleted all access points, recreating again and again, still doesn't work, technician and local operator Zain could not get it working neither.
Is this some kind of bug in Nokia N96 firmware? I'm using the latest one from December 2008.
Wap acccess setting:

Proxy port: 9401

Could someone please post a reply that's constructive and can help out to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance and regards,

Moving event with mouse in iCal gives me problems on Nokia N96

When I move an item (event) with mouse in iCal, and then iSync to my Nokia N96, I get multiple events in the Nokia Calendar. As if I copy-pasted the item too many times.
The multiple events are on the hours, on which I have dragged around the event.
Somebody having similar issues?

i've been having the same prob as u with my N96 however after i reverted back to factory settings and it's behaving for the time being (touchwood) i've read on posts here that people r having the same prob with their 2nd even 3rd phones so unless u r planning to change ur's for a diff model i'm not sure how helpful replacing the phone will be. I along with many others 'am sure r waiting for the new firmware to come out which hopefully will sort out most of the stability issues. i contacted Nokia and they advised me to wait till the firmware update as well.
i hope this helps.

Problem with Nokia N96 handsfree HS-45, AD-54

Hi,
I've had a Nokia N96 for about 2 months now and all the time whenever I play music using both parts of the headset, the music only plays through the left earphone. But when I remove the remote control, then the music plays through both. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
mm01

It looks like you have a faulty remote.
That part should be covered by a six month warranty so take it to a nokia care point and they should replace it.

Nokia n96 lock code problem

I forget my master reset code so can't reset my nokia n96 & also can't use any mamory card.Whn i put in any mamory card thn phone asking for lock code but i 4get tht...I updte my firmware but still its not fixed...So plz some1 help me...Thnx

If you have changed the code from the standard 12345 then there isn't a way to recover the code.
You could try the hard reset (hold down the *, 3 and green keys whilst the phone is switched on until at least the handshake logo), or have the phone flashed at a Nokia service point. Either way, the phone will be completely wiped so you need to back up important data like contacts and messages first.

Nokia N96 - A long review!

The Nokia N96 Long Review by Jupstejuho
v. 1
(Please notice that this is the first published version so I will
be making this much longer a bit later if you just want me to do so)
In this case I have only reviewed the phone's main software
things, not many of its good-too features.
--> A BIT INFO -->
Firmware used: Unbranded Scandinavian v11, upgraded to that from v10 wich was originally branded
Phone used: Elisa Finland network branded, simlocked Nokia N96-1
Operator used: Elisa Finland
Memory card used: 512MB (have not actually even touched it as the 16GB has been fine for me
More settings used: Screen brighness set to full 100%, display light set to disappear after
30 seconds of inactivity, Online mode always on. Screensaver set to none.
1. THE FIRST WORDS
OK, as all of the active Nokia people around the internet already know, there
are many reviews in the internet considering about the famous, all-new Nokia
N96 smartphone. It is a new part of the Nokia´s 3rd generation phone series,
the N-Series. The Nokia's N-Series is a quite big group of some really good
phones using much more advanced technology than the previous camera phones
that Nokia, and many other well-known phone companies have made. That is the
Nokia's N-Series in short. But, I am not writing this long review for all you
Nokia-People to just tell you what Nokia N-Series is, you basically did not
come here to read about that. I am writing this because I want to show you
my first feelings about the Nokia N96. I hope you have time to read the whole
review
2. ABOUT THE PHONE'S DESIGN, LOOK ETC. ALL ITS OUTSIDE-SEEING THINGS
So let's start from the usually first things that most people want to know
about a phone before buying it, the phone's ergonomy. The Nokia N96 feels
really, really good in my hand. Althought the phone seems to be quite big,
it fits in almost anybody's hands really well. It is not so thick, comparing
to my good old Nokia N91. And that impressed me pretty much. The phone is
relatively wide, but does not weight much (about 120 grams). The phone's
outlook is something I like, it is somehow much like the Apple's iPhone
within its big screen and black'n'white and grey colours. But, I was very
sad when I actually realized the biggest mistake made in the phone's
design. Its outer casing is actually made from cheap plastics, wich leads
to the very unliked feature... The Nokia N96's cheap plastics are in all
only not good-looking, but also really effective fingerprint magnets! The
phone's outer casing takes fingerprints really easily, and you can see
them very well in a bright sunlight, that is something I really hate. But,
that is luckily the only problem on the phone's design, I think. Just that
the phone's front side is quite widely crowded with many buttons. I really
like the phone's frontside's media button, as it reminds me of my good
old Nokia N91's Musicmenu-key. It is surrounded with the play/pause, stop,
forward and backward keys, and the already-known menu key, C-key (also known
as the backspace key) plus the green & red answering keys and the two
softkeys. All this is has been made to fit around the phone's joystick,
wich also had to include the handy Naviwheel option, but they removed it from
the software, wich is sad in my opinion. They have removed the handy
pen-key, wich formerly worked pretty well as a shortcut for many nice
programs that i used to play around with my old Nokia N91, that is sad but
I guess they had a good enough reason for removing the key.
>>> To the phone itself, features etc.
3. PHONE'S USER INTERFACE IN ALL
The Nokia N96 uses the same OS that almost all N-Series devices use, the
Symbian S60 3RD. But this time it is not just that. The Nokia N96 is one
of the first phone's to get the new, famous Feature Pack 2 (FP2). A feature
pack is like the "Microsoft Service Pack" for phones. Just that you cannot
upgrade any NON-FP/FP1 device to FP2 unless you really are an employer of
Nokia, and that the Feature Packs are for phones, not for computers
Symbian S60 3RD is the 3rd edition of the famous Symbian OS for phones,
wich has all the features that are required in order to say that a phone
is REALLY a Smartphone. OK, I am now comparing the FP2 Nokia N96 to my old
Pre-FP1/Non-FP1 Nokia N91. The phone's standby screen is pretty much the
same. Just that you can also set the standby screen to be in 3 different
modes. No active standby at all (The old S60 style), the normal already
known active standby row of 6 different program shortcuts and a new
arrangement, the one that is more complicated. It has the icons in the right
side of the phone's standby/idlescreen and you choose the icon and you see
its features at right side. Anyways, I chose the good old S60 3RD arrangement
as it is not too complicated for me. Going to the phone's menu is easy, you
just press the menu-key and that's that. The taskmanager is renewed, this
time it is horizontal and looks better (I guess they have made the idea from
the nice IQ AltTab program wich I used to use with my old Nokia N91. Yeah,
well pretty much nothing has changed. The phone's messages application has
been also renewed... It now has only 2 message types: Text Message and Sound
Message. If you want to send somebody a MMS wich contains a sound clip,
that means you have to choose the Sound Message-option. If you want to send
a normal SMS, or an MMS wich contains picture or video etc, you have to
choose the Text Message-option. Just choose that and write your message.
If you only add text into that, you are sending a normal SMS automatically.
Add any MMS-content in it and it will automatically be an MMS message.
That is a quite nice new feature. The phone also has a new Themes-application
and its icon has been removed from the phone's menu! You can get to it by
setting up an active standby shortcut for it but it will take you straight
to the Active-Standby Themestyle option wich is a part of the Themes
application. The phone still lags pretty much, as it is brand new.
The same problem was with the Nokia N95 when it first came. I guess the
phone does not have so much features that the Nokia N95 does not have.
Well that's all about that.
4. MEDIA COMPLETION
The Nokia N96 is advertised as a Videoplayer phone. That is true, but that
was not the reason why I bought the phone. The phone can play MP4, 3GP and
surprisingly they are advertising that the phone can also play WMV9 videos.
That is actually true, but the phone did only play the video's sound, not
the video itself Well that is OK for me as I do not have a reason for
playing WMV videos with my PHONE. The phone can also of course play music
but supports only a little amount of filetypes. Pictures are (surprise,
surprise) supported too.
4.1 DVB-H
One of the phone's new main features is the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting
Handheld) receiver. That means that you can watch digital television wherever
that is available. Here in Finland we can only receive DVB-H signal in the
big cities (luckily I live in Oulu and I can receive DVB-H signal in here...)
But I would be pleased if I could be able to see that signal in places like
cars, trains, planes and ferries but that is not gonna be possible ever,
because only a really small amount of phones have the DVB-H and hardly anybody
watches it. I do not look it unless I have a good reason as it takes a lot
battery. You can also record DVB-H and schedule recordings, that means you
actually have a recording television receiver in your pocket But I do not
have any reasons to do such a thing.
4.2 VIDEOS
The phone, as I said earlier, is being advertised as a pocket-sized video
player. The phone has some pre-loaded factory videos (Some advertising
videos and 1 Transformers Movie). I tested DivXPlayer and it played
small video files (like 100-200MB) really well but when I tested a 350MB
TV-Series episode, it lagged all the time after playing it for 2 minutes.
I also tested CorePlayer and Smartmovie and they both had the same problems
except that the CorePlayer played the file hardly for 2 seconds and started
lagging. But I converted the same file with SmartMovie converter to a 80MB
file and it had much worse quality but still it played with no lagging at
all You can also convert any video to a .3GP or .MP4 file but I guess
that it is better to play your video files with SmartMovie or DivXPlayer.
The videos captured with the phone's camera are relatively big, a 4minutes
long video with the best possible quality that the camera has, is over
50MB big. Oh, and one more thing: I just also realized that the phone
supports Winamp Remote really well. Just for all of you who are not familiar
with the Winamp Remote: Winamp Remote is an application wich lets you watch
any videos from your computer´s hard drive over an internet connecton with
quite high quality. I tried that and I was amazed that it worked. Althought
you have to put the flash player as default way playing the video, because
it laggs too much when watched using the Real Player. Oh, and that brings
one another thing to my mind: The Nokia's default web browser now also
supports Flash videos I tried youtube and it worked pretty well. And,
as I said earlier the Winamp remote Flash Videoplayer also was able to play
my PC´S videos So, Nokia N96 is good for what it is originally meant for:
PLAYING HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS ANYWHERE, ANYTIME whenever you need to do so.
4.3 MUSIC
The phone has music keys and I just love them. But the music player is not
anymore being started automatically when the phone is being started and
that means you have to manually put it on if you want to be able to use
the music buttons for playing music. That sucks. The phone has really nice
stereo speakers and they are very loud and I just love them. The earphones
supplied with the phone are really, I mean REALLY bad. They suck, but with
20-40 € you can get some good earphones like KOSS. They have also removed
an old really nice feature. The phone always lists the newest added music
tracks to a list, but you cannot anymore add the newest tracks easily to
another self-made playlist. That is what I hate as I used to do that with
my old Nokia N91. :@ That sucks, I don´t know why on earth they made such
a change in the Music Player. Quality of the music played with good
earphones is quite amazing. But also playing music eats the battery as fast
as a worm diggs itself into mud, you cannot play the music so long time,
but as I am not a music freeak that does not matter so much to me (I prefer
listening to .XM keygen music with my computer and Logitech speakers) But
I can also listen to Keygen music with the LCG Jukebox, I have done that
once for real at school and I just loved that as it made me more creative
at the arts lesson
4.4 PICTURES/CAMERA
The phone has a 5MP camera with a LED flash and a red LED light
to "help" with taking videos The phone takes really good images
especially when the phone's flash is used. It can take amazingly good
pictures even when there is no sunlight at all The flash is really
amazing. I don´t know why, but I even think that it takes better pictures
at night comparing to the pictures taken at daylight. Umm, I guess you
can use the phone as a camera in emergency situations when you need to
be able to take a picture of a good situation. The front camera wich is
intended for Video calls takes really awful pictures when there is not
enough light, especially the videos ARE JUST AWFUL but that is just because
who would use the front camera to take pictures of anything else (just for
testing purposes and taking some stupid images of yourself Um, and yeah I was
surprised about that, but it does not matter at all anymore Taking videos
with the 5MP camera at the back is nice because they have quite good quality!
But they are also relatively big and I guess that is one more feature that sucks,
as the video quality is not too good! One more new and really nice feature is
that you can set the phone to automatically save the location where the picture
was taken into the picture's metadata and view the location in the Nokia Maps
application. Almost all photos that I have took with my phone have a "geotag".
5. NAVIGATING/GPS
The Nokia N96 also has a GPS receiver with A-GPS support. I was first surprised
that the phone really knows where you are in just 10 seconds or a bit more. But
when I noticed that it is only caused because the phone has A-GPS and I had set
it on. And what is so bad about that? The A-GPS does not know where you are so
specifically, the accuracy in A-GPS is almost everytimes something like 100
meters so using the phone as a navigator is not so good but I guess it is just
fine for me! The phone has 1 year navigating license for the Nokia Maps application
(wich BTW sucks), but I prefer Garmin wich is better in all ways But while I
was testing navigating in the car, it was working fine. When Garmin said that
"waiting for better GPS signal", it only took about 5 seconds for it to already
show me that it had a full signal with 5-10m accuracy! Yum that is going to be
a nice feature because I am going to use it while travelling at Europe next summer.
Navigating is much, much better comparing, for example to the Nokia E90 and
some external Bluetooth GPS receivers. I am pleased that I know that I am always
carrying a really powerful GPS navigator in my pocket, and it is ready whenever
i just need it to be used
6. N-GAGE/GAMES
Nokia N96 also has pre-installed Tetris and an activation code for that is being
given with the phone (wich BTW WAS NOT WORKING FOR ME!). I installed brothers
in arms AND IT LAGGED LIKE A HELL?! What the hell is the problem with that, they
did not add a 3D Accelerator chip to the phone and they are still advertising
it as a "Good N-Gage gaming phone" Haha, I just shall laugh about that. I guess
I WILL NOT BE USING THE PHONE FOR GAMING THEN. So overall, if you did not already
understand my opinion about the Gaming features in the phone: DO NOT THINK THAT
THE PHONE IS GOOD IN GAMING... Also, tried Vampent´s vNes and it was not able
to start emulating (it was when I tried with my Nokia N91! Well, also the joystick
is a limitation wich makes it nearly impossible to play games with the phone.
It actually isn´t a joystick at all (they do not even advertise it to be that
I liked my old Nokia N91's joystick as it was really nice for playing games! But
playing games like Tetris should be fine. Also I will be going to try playing
games with the numeric keys, maybe that will be fine ;D
7. THE 16GB MEMORY + SDHC Memory Card place with hotswap support!
Yep, that´s true. I was first really impressed when I heard that the Nokia N96
has a HUGE 16GB memory and also A SDHC memory card spot. That was one of the
main reasons why I really said myself: If I am going to buy a phone, it will
definitely be the Nokia N96 unless something REALLY impressive will become
to the markets. I put my favorite tracks and kept almost all of the factory-loaded
videos in the phone and I still have a bit over 10GB free space (I also took about
hundred photos) not even mentioning that I also have installed Garmin Mobile XT
with all European maps to the phone (also Navicore and TomTom, they just weren´t
working and I was too lazy to be able to remove them or try solving why they
weren´t working) They are advertising that the phone can take up to 40 hours
of good guality video. Yeah that is just amazing and it is true too. Borrowing
to one guy's words who has been showing the N96 prototype at youtube: "So you
really, really have enough space on this phone" That is so true. I just wonder
what the hell I am going to do with all that 10GB left space ;D
8. A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE BATTERY LIFE
Many have complayed about the Nokia N96 battery life. I cannot understand why!
It has better battery life than in by Nokia N91. Two listed examples by me:
* I just charged the phone at around 7pm. I went to sleep and the clock was about
10pm. Before that, I decided to put a 1 hour long TV episode to a scheduled
recording. The phone did that very well. And I was surprised that when I looked
at the phone's battery state: It showed me that it had 100% full battery life!
And it kept there until I watched the whole 1 hour episode, then it still had
6 bars left of the 7 bars maxium. Pretty impressive.
* I put the phone to charge itself a few minutes before I went to sleep.
At morning I went to school. At there I watched TV episodes using Winamp
Remote for about 30-45 minutes. Then I listened to .XM keygen music with
LCG Jukebox for about 2 hours! Also I was playing with the phone a bit more
time too. When I went to home, it had something like 2 or 3 bars left. That
is not a very good example but that is already enough for me, and the
phone has had much better battery life after this case
---> [OVERALL REVIEWING] ---
* The Nokia N96 is a good mediaphone but it is also enough
good to be used as an officephone. The stereo speakers,
DVB-H, GPS and a good camera, 16GB mass memory and a
SDHC memorycard slot... That is just everything I would
ever want from a phone! But all this comes with a price
wich will make most people just dream about the phone,
or buying it from an operator with a cheap price like
I did. Even thought the firmware is buggy, I can still
recommend the phone for anybody who likes to have a
good-looking phone with all possible mediafeatures!
The phone is still buggy but that was with the Nokia N95
too. I cannot understand why people are saying that
"Nokia N95 is soo much better and looks better..." that
is so not true. The N96 beats N95 hands down! And overall,
the phone would be too perfect if it would not have bugs,
all new phones have bugs! Think about the iPhone, it was
not even able to send a MMS message but it has been enabled
in the new firmware update. Also iPhone has been buggy when
it first came but it has been improved much. The same will
100% surely happend with the Nokia N96 too! They already
have released v11 wich has made my phone a bit faster too
+ A big screen with bunch of colours!
+ 5MP camera takes good quality photos
+ GPS finds location fast with the A-GPS feature
+ Really good stereo speakers!
+ Supports WMV
+ The phone is not too thick and it is smaller than N95
+ The phone just looks sooo good!
+ 16GB memory + A SDHC memorycard slot!
+ The phone's 1-9 keys are nice and they can be easily pressed even
thought they are really flat! Writing with the phone is fast
+ The phone just looks so good!
+ DVB-H with scheduled recording and awesome quality!
+ Battery life is just enough!
- The GPS is fast but mostly not accurate except at outside
- Music-Player no longer gives an option to add a freshly added
music track to another playlist I have to find all the
freshly added tracks manually from the All tracks-section if
and when I want to add them to a nice playlist
- The front camera has a really bad picture and video quality
- The software in the phone still has many bugs
- A fingerprint magnet & Cheap plastic materials
- Price!
- OH, the gaming features just suck

Um, yes I can (BTW, nice that there are other N96 likers too, as I am also very surprised that there are so many haters )
You can get Winamp Remote from here: http://www.winamp.com/player/free-download-full?lang=en-us When you install it, choose Winamp Remote as a part of the installation. You can get more help from the Winamp Forums. Winamp Remote should be easy to use, but if you need more help ask from the Winamp Forums or PM me (One of the main things is that you have to have ports forwarded fine, that is quite hard to explain but go to: www.portforward.com and follow their instructions meant just for your router, I am not sure that do they have instructions just meant for Winamp Remote but if you are lucky enough you just should be able to do the tricks in half an hour )
DivXPlayer is available at here: http://labs.divx.com/system/files/private/DivXPlayer_S60_3rd_0.sisx AND PLEASE NOTE that DivxPlayer takes so much memory that it CANNOT PLAY FILES OVER 200MB. I tried a 150MB DivX .AVI video and it played very well but I tried a 350MB DivX .AVI video and it lagged like a hell. You can use Lonely Cat Games (LCG) SmartMovie to convert about 350MB file to a 80MB file with just fine enough quality. I know that talking about "illegal" things is forbidden in here but just a small tip: Find a good Mobile Phone stuff forum, they are giving some good and CR@CKED applications for free (normally they are asking huge prices for them) There are dozens of good mobile forums just waiting for somebody who needs all that stuff For example the SmartMovie will put the video's image grey after two minutes (if you have converted the video with that tool) of playing it. But just some little googling and you are fine to go But supporting software studios is also important, so if you just have enough money I really suggest that you buy all your softwares!

N96 Problems!!!

Just yesterday I had the opportunity to upgrade the firmware to V12!!!
The thing is that during the update (using NSU), there was a problem twice and after that I managed to install the new firmware.
Now the thing is that this morning I found the mobile off. At first I thought that it died or something since it did not switch on, but then I put it on charge and it switched back on. Thanks God.
Why has this happen, I mean the phone was fully charged before the updating the firmware!!
Another thing is that now the '#' is not working to put the phone on silent or general!!
Plus there were some that stated that after you install FM V12, and then you restart the phone, there would be an increase of about 150mb or something like that in the phone memeory. I saw nothing increase, except that all the memory left remained the same as it was before.
Lastly, I once opened a thread and noone answered. The thing still happens. It is that sometimes when I would be using the phone, I hear 'Bongo' style noise. Can someone please enlighten me with why and what I hear them for!!!??
Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you.

The reason why your phone was off is becuase if you did software update day before then that would have drained most of your battery resulting in the morning the phone being off.
v12 has some issues regarding the "#" button as other users have had problems with theirs aswell. This is a firmware bug so dont worry. Just wait til new update is released and available on NSU and that shall fix your "#" problem.
For the 150MB it depends really on the firmware variant and what you have stored on the Phones C: (Internal Memory). For the firmware variant each firmware is same apart for you know Orange, 3, T-Mobile each network have their own Themes, Wallpapers, Clip Arts, Sounds embedded into the firmware thus it ends up in the phones Internal Memory (C
Also new firmware come embedded with latest NGAGE, Nokia MAPS that also takes up the internal 150MB down by some MB's.
Hope that helps
