Pictures in folders N95 8GB

Hi,
N95 8GB.
I have some photos on my phone that I would like to file away so that if my kids pick up phone and go to the gallery they cannot see them.
Is there any way of putting these pics into a folder that does not show when the gallery is opened??
Thanks for looking,
Dave

Download a file called x-plore or y-browser. You can get it by searching in google. Install it and set the attributes of the file to hidden.

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

Want to take pictures w/ N95 8gb while cycling (Sp...

I see people ask about a bike mount but i'm more interested in an accessory that would let me take pictures w/ the phone while I'm riding, but take away my worry of dropping it. If it mounts too, that would be great. Any advice? I have a Nokia N95 8gb.

Good luck!
If it's still that bad after the update then it's most likely a fault. Take it to a nokia care point for inspection.

Nokia N95 8gb: Gallery not showing all pictures

Recently I became owner of a nokia n95 8gb.
So as a good child made a backup from my old N95-1 by using Ovi Suite
and restored it to the new Nokia n95 8gb
Now when I press the gallery button it shows me only 542 photos from the 1000 I almost have.
Any idea of what's going on here?
P.S Firmware version is 35.0.001

NOT WORKING???!!!!
THAT'S VERY BROAD CAN YOU SPECIFY WHAT EXACTLY IS "NOT WORKING??"
AND CAN YOU STOP SHOUTING?

N95 8Gb crashes (resets) when connecting to PC to ...

My N95 8Gb crashes (resets) 75% of the time when connecting to my PC to use PC Suite.
This is now getting to be very annoying.
I have also noticed other things like if you either drag a video file (avi) onto the phone area of PC Suite or into Nokia video Manager, it take a very long time to convert and then tells you that there's not enough room on the phone. I have found this is due to the phone and pc suite using different folders on drive E:. This should have been tested or could it be due to Vodafone moving items within their branded software.
The daftest thing about it is after taking upto 3 hours to convert and you place it in the correct folder (or changed the folder in the setings) on your phone, it'll only play the sound and give no picture. I have converted some of my old movies to DIV-X and this is what happens when you get Nokia software to convert them. I have tried a couple of video converters and think AVS Video Converter seems to work the best (demo leaves a watermark in the movie).
Are these common problems and what is the best way to get around them?

Dear Forum,
What i could suggest you guys is install the Nokia OVI Suite 1.0 for Nokia N 96 from the following site
http://europe.nokia.com/A41159160
or latest NSeries PC Suite from the nokia support pages. Because Nokia N96 will have better compatibility with NSeries/Nokia OVI Suite. But, there is no need to uninstall Nokia PC Suite (7.0.x.x) from your PC, as many of you may be using this for editing Messages and Contacts which is not part of NSeries PC Suite / Nokia OVI Suite right now Have a great day

N95 8GB v20.0.016 - mass memory failure #3

For the third time my N95 8GB has managed to corrupt its mass memory ("mass memory corrupted") - only this time, I am unable to reformat it at all!
The problem behaviour is as follows:
Used the phone last night to take several pictures, accessing the Gallery at one stage to find and delete one picture. This afternoon I look for the photos to review, and the '200902' folder (images for February) on the mass memory has no subfolder and is empty. However, I DO have a video saved on the phone from the 7th of February!
This afternoon I am able to take as many pictures as I like and they are saved correctly in the gallery and the 200902 folder. I had used about 5.2GB of the mass memory at this point. (It may be worth noting that I would occasionally get the message 'Gallery: Memory full' whilst browsing the gallery, but never at any other time).
At this stage, the mass memory is still fully populated, so I thought it would be best to cut my losses and take a full phone backup. The backup process fails, with an error along the lines of having lost connection with the phone.
I check file manager to see what's going on, and the following message appears on the memory card page: "(no data)".
All previous times the handset corrupted its memory, the trigger seemed to be a reboot of the handset. (Contents were lost upon returning to File Manager after a reboot). Having not rebooted the phone at all in the last 24 hours, I was surprised that the memory card contents had apparently disappeared without any application being launched and apparently no new data writing attempts being made. Perhaps the read operation for the backup caused the failure? But this still does not explain how all my February photos were deleted.
Without any obvious way of getting to my files, I rebooted the phone, returned to file manager and was greeted by the familiar: "(mass memory corrupted)".
As mentioned previously, when this happened before I was able to format the memory via Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Memory -> Format. This time, I receive the message: "Mass memory is in use by other application. Continue anyway?". I select 'Yes' - but the handset simply returns to the memory screen and "(mass memory corrupted)". This still happens even after a reboot.
I have performed 'Factory settings' reset via the phone menus, a 'hard reset' via code *#7370#, a format by holding *, 3 and the call answer button whilst powering on the phone - none of these prevent the 'Mass memory is in use' error from occurring. I have also attempted to format drive E (mass memory) but this just returns an error code. When I attempt to upgrade the firmware, the process fails every time after ~3 minutes saying that the connection with the phone has been lost (the warnings about upgrading do state that the mass memory should NOT be encrypted, so I presume that it being inaccessible is equivalent to this).
I cannot see any way to format the 8gb memory so that I can make it usable once more! The phone was not dropped or damaged in any way in the last 24 hours, yet it seems that something must have physically changed inside it?
The only parallel I can draw between this incident and the previous one is that both times, the memory was around 2/3rds full (around 5.5GB). I am wondering if perhaps the FAT table outgrows itself and dies?
My 1 year warranty expired 3 weeks ago - I am hopeful my network operator will be able to provide a replacement and that this phone just has a 'bad' memory chip - it really is a superb phone barring this infuriating corruption problem mine seems to have!
If anyone could shed any light on a solution it would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Alex

In the end my operator agreed to replace the handset for me after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. In my opinion the problem was caused by a faulty memory chip.
Alex
p.s. - the old handset was sent to the operator for repair and they were unable to repair it, only offer a refurbished replacement. With the greatest of respect, it's good to know my case is not unique!

Printing documents from N95 8GB

I know you can print photos over Bluetooth to a Bluetooth enabled printer, i.e Canon MP460.
But is it possible to print documents in this way. Or does anyone know of any software that will do this?
Thanks

Hi mickh1
I have seen designs posted for a simple frame to allow an iPhone to take pictures of A4 documents. Something similar so that N95 8GB is perfectly still and as it doesn't have touchscreen probably need to use timer to release shutter, should produce a satisfactory result.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Can we get SOME of FP2 features?? (N82, N95-8GB)

Hi, I own a N82 bought it about a month ago, and so far it is stable (touch wood)...
and as the FP2 devices poped out now, they are holding a lot stable features and system than the previous one for sure!! the idea of if i want the FP2 features is to BUY a new phone sucks!! my N82 is amazing, it got all what i want, i hate slide phones so i won't trade it to N96 and i won't agree with less features and trade it for the N78 (these two phones got the S60 FP2) and as i read some features need an upgrade for hardware (RDS for exampl), am not asking to install the full FP2 on my device but at least i hope that on the next firmware update there WILL be some new features that doesn't need any hardware stuff such as, Animation effect for menu and rotation, faster gallery and integrate the new features of it, the full screen caller picture (some said it will be in the FP2) and some of these stuff...
we all know that the N82 and the N95-8GB got good RAM so i guess this will work well...
COME ON guys, who agrees with me post sth on and say what u want to see!! we all still missing a lot of updates on our N82 (FLASH for example) but hope for the best...
Do u agree with me???
Used a lot of S60 devices, now am with the King N82

oh of course, am so with you, but i hope that we can get some improvements too i mean, like the animation rotation, and SOME of the good features, am not saying to give us the whole pack!!
and yes, they just issues One update so far, hope the next one will be out soon carrying a lot of good stuff
Thanks my friend for passing by

N95 8GB Video Centre Shutting Down

My problem with my N95 8GB, the video centre application automatically closes itself after a few seconds when I open it.
The video centre work fine when it was brand new but as soon as I put my Sim Card in, I started to have problems.
I would really appreciate some help on this issue as it is driving me crazy
Many thanks,
s

The workaround is to load a JPG PNG or GIF picture icon (small file 90 KB), named EXACTLY the same as the videos in the My Videos folder where the videos are stored (or where ever the videos from video center are stored)

thank you i will try this, but i last time i used pc suite i was having a connection problem
PC Suite doesn't even come into the equation here.
Connect the phone in data storage mode. It will appear in your "My Computer" as an external drive.
Enable the display of hidden and system files so that everything gets copied and just drag/drop stuff over from one place to the other using the explorer.
(Note that I can't provide more detailed help than that since I don't actually use Windows on my own PCs)

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.
