Slider issue nokia n95 8gig

Hi
had my n95 8gig just 4 day's ( purchased 1/09/08 ) and already the slider is loose.
i know this matter has been brought up in past posts but just wondering if other new owners/users are experiencing the same.
under warranty can this be repaired? or is it normal?
Apart from the slider issue, the n95 8gig is great !
i realise its not a perfect world but for $800 i expect the slider to be sturdier than it is.
look forward to other users comments.

It can be fixed mate but i'd ask at a Service center as trying to fix them yourself could end up with you mucking the slide mechanism up which you don't want.

  • End call by sliding down slider on nokia n95 - any...

    I have a nokia n95 and was wondering if there were any settings/freeware signed applications you could install to end the call by sliding down the slider?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    The N95 doesn't have this built in, but there's a 3rd party application out there called "ShutUp", I think, which should do the trick for you.

  • Custom Voices for n95 8gig

    Hi i recently bought the new nokia n95 8gig.I am very happy with the phone and after abit of messing around i got the gps to work perfect.
    But my question is: Is it possible to download custom voices for the n95.I no its possible on other sat navs.
    thx for ya time

    It is difficult to tell with those buttons. You could have accidentally bumps again something while it was in your pocket or a drop of water may have dropped in around the button.
    The fact that the dedicated camera button no longer works has me a little suspicious. When you have the camera function activated this dedicated is used to take a photo. Does it even do that anymore? If not then I think your next port of call should be a Nokia Care Centre.

  • 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

  • Nokia n95 slider

    Nokia N95 Loose Slider can nokia care deal with this problem 
    where can i buy full housing cover black for my n95 like the one in

    You are better off taking it to a Nokia service point, especially if you still have warranty. Any kind of disassembly by the user, such as to fit a new casing, is not authorised by Nokia and so you could cause damage to the phone which would leave you unprotected if a genuine fault occurs with the phone.

  • 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 8G- Music Playlist issue

    I've been trying this forever and I'm really stuck please help.  I have a Nokia N95 8G phone and I use Nokia OVI Suite to sync my music with my phone.  I'm able to create playlists in my OVI suite BUT when I sync it with my phone and hit 'refresh' then the music all shows and plays properly but the playlists don't....so in otherwords the songs are on my phone and they play but they are not set up in the same playlists that I have set up on OVI suite.  I want my songs to be split in the playlists the same as on my OVI suite.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    hi guys,
    I have this very big problem with my n95 8G.
    I bought it brand new and after I wanted to update the software, and right next after the screen with "with estimated time left 15 minutes appears" appears the screen of the phone starts, all blank, and after another minute the computer and the phone are not conected anymore, and on the screen appears "the phone is not conected anymore" and I have to take out the battery so that the phone will start again. but the biggest problem is that the 8G memory is not available anymore. The message "mass memory corrupted" appears and you can not format it in any way because it says "mass memory in use by another application".
    I can't use my phone without memory, so your help or advices will be highly appreciated.
    I also lost my warranty because the phone was locked in a network, and I had to unlock it, so I can't take it back to the store.

  • HELP!! Nokia N95 restarting !! and more!!

    Okay
    im now on my 3rd Nokia N95 from the 02 network
    the first 2 handsets had high pitch whining noise and awful sliders which were wobbling on the right hand side, appaulling workmanship, i dont even know how they were allowed to leave the Nokia Factory like this!
    maybe the workers were all drunk or something?
    it isnt only me thats complained of these faults, check all the other forums about the N95!
    anyway, my 3rd handset has been working ok
    (or so i thought)
    everything was working fine, no wobbly slider, no whiny noise..
    but about 3 - 4 times per day as of 3 days ago, the phone just restarts itself when its just sat there!!!
    WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING ?
    have i now got to sent this **bleep** handset back aswell?
    i dont want to drive 20 miles to nearest Nokia Service Centre, WHY should i ????
    i also left my house this morning at 5.30am to take a friend to the Airport, the phone was unplugged from the Charger with full battery life, i used sat nav to get there and back, its now 9.35am and i have 2 bars left on te battery life!!
    truly appauling if you ask me
    will new firmware sort the resarting and battery life?
    or do i have to just give up on this handset and buy another model by another Manufacturer?
    im at my wits end with these N95`s

    That's a typical problem for a newly released N-series. Unfortunately, this is only likely to be fixed by a firmware upgrade. Check you have the latest version. If you do: you're fresh out of luck .. for a while.

    That's no surprise at all: when you use the GPS the phone is working all the time. It's kinda like you made a 4 hour (or however long the trips were) phone call. The surprise is that you have any battery left at all!
    When I use my N80 for navigation, I usually have either the phone or the GPS receiver on charge virtually all the time.
    It's probably no consolation right now, but most of us who bought phones soon after their release have gone through very similar teething problems and we know how hideously frustrating they are. The good news is that if you do hold out, the 2nd or 3rd firmware release normally fixes the worst of the problems and you do finally get that awesome phone you thought you'd bought.

  • Nokia N95 8Gb Keypad Fault

    Hi All,
    I have a Nokia N95 8Gb which has developed a strange keyboard fault..
    The number and top plate buttons only work when the slider is virtually closed, with just the *,0 and # keys exposed. If you slide it all the way open, none of the keys work. If you slide it all the way shut, none of the keys work.
    I have tried removing the battery for a more than 30 minutes with no success.
    I have also carefully taken the phone to pieces and re-seated the ribbon cable plug and it all looks fine. There are no obvious splits or breaks in the ribbon although the phone is quite old and has seen some use! The screen works fine at all times.
    I cannot do a hard reset on the phone either by typing the number or power on key sequence as the buttons won't work with the slider open far enough to get to the keys. I have tried operating the phone with the front removed but this was not successful as the slider has to be in the exact position described above otherwise the keys won't work at all. I have however reinstalled the firware (version 35.0.001) and this will have done a reset on completion and this hasn't made any difference.
    I have a number of questions:
    1. Has anyone seen this problem on the N95 8Gb please?
    2. Any idea if it is likely to be a brake in the ribbon cable? (I would have expected to see a problem with the screen if this was the case though.
    3. Does anyone know if a fault with the ribbon cable would cause the main number keys to stop working too?
    Thanks!

    @Stolly: Reason for this is that this boards are the official Nokia discussion sites provided by Nokia. Taking any phone apart voids the warranty. Warranty voiding topics are no-go here even though your phone is 4 years old.
    People come here to seek help from Nokia users and there is a great chance that users believe it's okey and recommended to take their phones apart to fix the issues themselvs after reading posts. - In many cases people will make things worse and void their warranty, so when they eventually need to seek help at a Nokia care point, they will find themselv to be rejectet because their warranty is voided.
    Nokia won't support that.
    If you want to discuss any non-official ways to handle your device, please visit a non-official forum.

  • 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...

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • MAJOR ISSUES WITH N95!

    CAN ANYBODY SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES WITH THIS PHONE?
    I PURCHASED A NOKIA N95 3 WEEKS AGO FROM CARPHONE WAREHOUSE.
    IM NOW ON MY 4TH HANDSET IN 3 WEEKS!
    MY FIRST HANDSETS BATTERY ONLY LASTED 5 HOURS (WITHOUT USING IT)
    MY SECOND HANDSET HAD TERRIBLE AUDIO PROBLEMS. (SOUNDED LIKE A BLOWN SPEAKER)
    MY 3RD HANDSET KEPT RESTARTING AND WHEN ON, HAD WHITE BOXES OF NOTHING ALONG THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS WAS TO RESTART THE PHONE.
    MY 4TH HANDSET CONSTANTLY SAYS 'SIM REGESTRATION FAILED', ERROR CONNECTION, INSERT SIM, TIMED OUT PLUS MORE! IT ALSO OCCASIONALY RESTARTS ITSELF!
    IM SURE THIS IS NOT JUST BAD LUCK ON MYPART BUT IM FUMING TO SAY THE LEAST. ONTOP OF THIS CARPHONE WAREHOUSE ARE NOW SAYING ILL HAVE TO PAY £600 TO COME OUT OF THE CONTRACT BECAUSE IM OVER MY 14 DAYS, BUT THE 14 DAYS WERE WAISTED WITH FAULTY HANDSETS OR WAITING FOR CARPHONE WAREHOUSE TO REPLACE MY OLD ONE. DISCUSTING!
    NOKIA N95 WAS A GREAT IDEA AND HAD ALL THE FEATURES I NEEDED. SHAME THEY DONT ACTUALLY WORK PROPERLY!
    CAN ANYBODY RECOMEND A DECENT (SMARTPHONE) HANDSET WITH THE N95 FEATURES THAT ACTUALLY WORKS?
    ANYONE ELSE HAVING AS MANY PROBLEMS AS ME?

    cant recall now...usually your warranty is either a card or part of the back of the manual...but to prove a warranty you need a purchase receipt with date of purchase clearly shown...usually you would return a copy of the receipt with the phone for your warranty claim....
    i dont think and imei number will supply a fixed date of manufacture..and even if it did i doubt it would be enough to prove you have a valid warranty claim...
    if it was a private sale can you get the original purchase details from the person you bought it from? that way you might at least be able to paperchase a supplier receipt and get a firm date of supply from Nokia or the original suppliers....
    the problem with private sales is you are always going to suffer with warranty pit falls....
    Nokia Customer services might be able to track through with the serial number from the side of the box or from the phone....again whether that will enough to validate a warranty claim im really not sure....
    you might have to contact Nokia and explain the situation and just see what they are willing to do...
    *addition*
    happened to have my old 9300 manual in my desk here at work..the warranty is listed near the back of the manual...
    the only thing i can find that might harm a warranty as explained in the manual read something like this:
    Limited warranty is not enforcable if the product has been opened,modified,accesory date code, imei tampered with etc etc by anyone other than a NOkia service engineer...any warranty in such a case will be at Nokia discretion...
    again i think its going to come down to "proof or purchase" date
    hope this helpsMessage Edited by kirisute on 06-Jun-200703:19 PM
