Transfer of Birthdays to N95 8GB using Phone Switc...

I transferred my Birthdays from a 6230i to a N95 8GB using the Phone Swith facility and infrared and they have transferred to the N95 as Meetings rather than Anniversaries.
The Meetings are on the N95 with a Yearly repeat but are not Anniversaries. The age is not displayed on the calendar entry whereas it was on the 6230i. The reminder alarm has not transferred either and there is no way of viewing these birthdays separately from other calendar entries.
Have I done something wrong with the transfer? Can this be corrected? Does the N95 not have the same calendar facilities as the 6230i?! Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Yeah this is really annoying - I've done the same thing in upgrading from my 6233, and I'm still trying to find a solution other than manually editing every single entry.
Actually there are tons of things, basic functionalities, which were present in the 6233 but which are missing or not as good in the so called 'smart phone'!
I really wish Nokia would keep things consistent between models, as we all spend a long time getting used to a particular model and developing habits and ways of doing things - then we upgrade, sticking with Nokia so we don't have to change the way we do things, only to find out that Nokia have removed/changed/buggered up a perfectly good function.
Anyway, if I find a solution I'll post it here - and if you could do the same that'd be great! :-)

  • Sending all images from n95 8gb from phone to pc.

    how do you send ALL the images on your n95 from the phone to the pc?, because now when i connect it only lets me transfer the ones i took between the last time i did and now. surley there is a way to re-send the other ones that you have sent before but since, lost!

    I assume that you are using the Image Store feature in PC Suite, which is not something I use myself as I favour the manual approach.
    By far the easiest way is to connect the phone in data transfer mode (sometimes called mass storage mode), which will make your phone's 8Gb mass memory appear in Windows Explorer as an external drive. You can then copy/paste whatever you like from the folders on the phone to your PC.

  • N95 8GB copying phone book via blue tooth

    I have just aquired a secondhand N95 8GB and I am having trouble transfering my phone book to my cars hands free via blue tooth.  Can anybody help me.  Also with regard to the camera is there anyother button apart from the one on the side that can be used to capture the picture. I already use the scroll buttons for volume and zoom.
    Is there a problem with the slide as mine seems very loose, can adjustments be made to the slide? Cheers
    Solved!

    Hi aggie2347
    1) More details of vehicle/kit to which you are trying to transfer phonebook needed.
    2) Third party application such as VirtualKey needed to re-assign keys
    3) Loose slide was a feature of early N95 to varying degrees, there have been self help fixes posted but it is against this forum's rules to publish disassembly instructions unfortunately.

  • N95 8Gb - using the internatl GPS dicsonnects Blue...

    Hi,
    I've got a current version N95 8Hb with all the updates etc. I want to use a bluetooth headset for voice navigation with the internal GPS with Garmin Mobile XT software.
    As soon as I activate any software that uses the internal GPS the bluetooth headset is disconnected. Turn off the GPS and the headset reconnects.
    How can I stop this happening so I can use the headset. 
    Cheers 

    Ok,
    First things. How are you sure that MAPS was the application responsible for the data usage?
    MMS, email, SMS, browser, etc. etc. many applications can access the data line and you specify this in each application. I don't know of any way to turn it off completely without using OFFLINE mode. The settings you described basically allow any application to use data "when needed" and use ANY access point and use HSDPA if available.
    About GPS methods:
    Network based: In some networks it uses triangulation from the base stations to get a positional fix, This has to be supported by the network, but this doesn't (or shouldn't) use "internet data" so it shouldn't count towards your data plan.
    Bluetooth: This option is to use an external GPS module like the LD-4W or others. This is great for car usage as the reception from these modules is better than the phone antenna. If there's not BT GPS device leaving it on doesn't really affect anything.
    Assisted: this is AGPS and uses a combination of the stand alone GPS module and the network to get a faster location fix. THis is the best option, I'm not 100% sure if this uses network data channel, mmm need to confirm.
    Integrated: It ONLY uses the GPS receiver inside the Phone, It's much slower to get the first fix and you are more likely to lose the signal if you are in an urban environment.
    If you select Integrated and/or Bluetooth and turn off Network and AGPS, then you will get GPS fix totally independent of your operator. You can use MAPS without a SIM card if I'm not mistaken...

  • Stopping my n95 8gb using data packets?

    Hi just got the phone and am worried that i could end up with a huge bill for the phone when its accessing data. Is there a way to stop it completly or making it ask every time?

    Would be nice to see a STOP ALL DATA CONNECTIONS button available in Standby mode like what is available in Windows Mobile. Also, what would be cooler is if it could tell you which program is asking to connect to the Internet and if you would allow it. This way you can determine which program is malconfigured.
    N-95 8GB, Wish Nokia made a 3G World Phone.
    Release a 3G HSPDA 850/900/1800/1900/2100 and Quad Band GSM phone instead!

  • N95 8GB My phone does not recognise some stored co...

    Hi somebody please help ! When receiving a text message from some of my stored contacts, instead of their name being displayed at the top of message, only their number is displayed, preceded by +447. I have tried deleting & re-entering correctly but nothing works. A clue maybe is that the problem contacts have 'syncronisation : private' added to the contact information but I do not know how to remove it (only to change it to 'sync : public' or 'sync : none'). Could it be anything to do with PC Suite ? I 've loaded the new N95 version recently. C'mon all you gurus, put me out my misery !

    Hi pj2008
    Do you mean that you have re-entered a contact in international format (+44) and still get the same result when they call?

  • Magnets & N95 8Gb

    Have my N95 8Gb in a belt holster with a magnet clip. Noticed at night when the phone was in the holster, the screen was always lit.
    Try it - magnets near the screen will switch the screen on; not out of unlock mode but draining your batteries nevertheless.
    Save your batteries and turn it away from any magnet!
    If no-one died or got sued, it's an OK day

    Only if the Memory is magnetic media (like a Hard Disk Drive)
    The N95 8GB uses Nand Flash for memory so it's not affected by static magnetic fields (i.e. Magnets).

  • RE: N95-8GB Slider

    Hello Everyone,
    A couple of weeks ago I bought a Nokia N95-8GB mobile phone, however I have come to notice a 'problem,' as such, with the slider.
    When I slide the mobile phone to use the keypad, it seems that there is a slight inbalance, when I use the keys such as accept a call and reject a call.
    The left-hand side, where the green call button is, feels really sturdy, however when you press any of the buttons on the right-hand side, such as the red call button, the mobile phone bounces up and down a bit and it feels a little insecure, compared to the other side of the mobile phone.
    I know that there was this problem with the first version of the first N95, however does the N95 8GB version also have this problem, but to a smaller extent? Or is it simply the way in which Nokia creates the sliders?
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
    Stefan

    magikguy: It's a question of relativity. Since these are not high precision engineered products (at least not the mechanical slider parts), so it is normal to have some "play" in them. Your description does make the problem sound serious that some of us would consider it a defect. But perhaps you had too high expectations of the perfectness of the sliding mechanism.
    Have you ever used other slider phones? Perhaps that would give you an idea of what is "norm".
    If you are not sure and it bothers you enough, no harm to take it to Nokia Care or from where you purchased the handset to enquire.

  • N95 8gb SPECIFICATIONS?

    hello everyone,
    i am debating wheather or not i should still buy the n95 8gb cell phone, but some things are stil getting in the way of my frustration. Like 1. will resolution on screen be pixealated even with video and pictures...(this i heard throughout the internet)....and is the battery life really a big difference compared to the n95 european model.....please if anyone can answer this
    NOKIA N96 rocks

    Maybe what you have to consider for N95 8gb is :
    1. no slot for external memory, which means that you will stuck with ONLY 8gb.
    2. no lens cover
    3. higher price than original N95
    4. only black color
    BUT the rest of the features are a quite big improvement compare to N95 original.

  • N95 8GB - Complete white screen

    Hi
    Phone:
    N95 8gb
    Problem:
    Phone had bonnet slammed on it and the screen was cracked as result, replaced screen, lost phone charger, got new one, when phone charger inserted and phone turned on blank white screen appears, phone charging connection appears to be loose, think I need to replace the charging connector maybe? The white screen only appears for part of a second and then disappears.
    Please note the white screen is completely white no logos or pictures just white.

    Hello, it's against forum rules to discuss warranty voiding actions like taking your phone apart. U will have to seek advice in some non- official forums.

  • N95-8GB - Not able to connect in Data Transfer Mod...

    Hi all,
    Recently I bought N95-8GB and installed PC Suite which comes along with the phone in my OS Windows Vista Home Premium. When I try to connect my phone in Data Transfer mode, I am getting message "Found new hardware - Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device" and I am not able to find any driver for the same.
    Please help me out to solve this problem.
    Regards,
    S.Suresh

    just let the wizard run through and select the options that windows will search for the friver itself. the dirvers are included in nokia Pc suite package.
    YOu can also try to use the standard NOkia PC Suite from www.nokia.com/pcsuite or generally look for a fresh version of NSeries PC Suite from thephone web-pages, the CD-ROM versions are normally outdated

  • N95 8GB reboots periodically in data transfer mode

    I have a new N95 8GB running firmware v20. Unfortunately, when I use the genuine USB cable and select "Data Transfer Mode" the phone reboots 60 seconds after I connect the cable (and thereafter each 60 seconds when I don't touch the phone).
    I have tried with a non-genuine cable and the behaviour is the same.
    Coincidentally the "Power Save Time-out" is set to 60 seconds. When I change this to another value, say 40 seconds, then the above rebooting happens every 40 seconds.
    This appears to be a phone bug and makes it extremely difficult to use data transfer mode, unless you can transfer files within the power save time-out period, or unless you are prepared to press a button on the phone within this period.
    **Nokia please fix this**

    Well,rotateme works perfectly for me and i have a n95 8gb too.So there are two things that might happening.
    1.You are doing something wrong with the whole installation(does rotateme works when you install it?)
    2.You downloaded your self a corrapted or somekind of a virus or a bug .sis file and installed it to your phone.
    Why dont you try to download one other rotateme file for you?You can find plenty rotateme from a lot of users.I can send you mine,if you want send me an e-mail and i`ll send to you the .sis file that i used and as i said,it works fine for me.
    Peace
