anyone know if i can re-install the old maps which allowed tracking onto my phone which has the new firmware? (flap you nokia you cheats)

actually just got one of these phones wednesday through vodafone, and it came unbranded which was good.

flashed it to v20 straight away.

so far so good :)

like the phone, much better, albeit a little different, to anything ive had before.

I'm really p*(sed off that I can't disable roaming (dual mode) because Three in all their infinite wisdom disabled this option in their 'floppyware' (firmware).

What's the risks and disadvantages of debranding the phone. Voiding warranty? That alone is a substantial risk.

Voiding warranty?

It does, however if you revert the Product code to the old one, if you need to take it in for repairs you can reverse the changes.

I love being able to pick UMTS only on my debranded N95 8GB, and GPS performance is much more responsive as well.

Just got my phone today from Optus on $49 cap. $149 upfront handset cost and no ongoing repayments :-) Already updated to v20 FW
Anyway, it's showing phone numbers for incoming SMS instead of my contacts name. I realise it's because of the +61 that's on the front of the number in the SMS but surely the phone is smart match that up in the contact list wit the non +61 version.
Never had this problem on my N70 I just upgraded from.

Do I have to go through every contact number and add the +61 ?

Thanks

dont see what the problem is if you can change it back when ever you need to. plus warranty is normally a hardware fault therfore software shouldnt be a issue

I just printed this photo that I took with my N95;
www.box.net/shared/ue19lazx9u

I printed it on a 6x4 inch matte at one of those digital photo kiosks, and I have to say, being a digital SLR user, I am completely IMPRESSED!! I don't think i'll underestimate the quality of the in built camera to use next time with decent lighting...

Not to mention, I took this pic when it was sundown, so I would've expected a very noisy/grainy picture, it's definitely decent for web viewing or 6x4's i think, i was expecting much worse from a phone camera.

Has anyone else tried printing 6x4's from any of thier N95 pics?

i find n95 has a ever so slight tinge of magenta.

Has anyone else tried printing 6x4's from any of thier N95 pics?

yeah i print them on my Canon MP830 and i have no problems. use the IPF8200 at work. 6x4 pics too small imo

Lucky i've just heard about this. Haven't upgraded as I like having my GPS track me in real-time.

So basically all it is now is a map viewer.

Debranding is simply changing a code that's stored on the phone. When you connect to Nokia Updater it checks the code on your phone, and allows you to download the appropriate firmware.

So really, it's about as dangerous as upgrading your firmware. Some people have hesitations doing this, and I think rrrohan's phone died midway through update because it ran out of battery. That said, the program tells you to plug in your charger before the update anyway.

If you need to return the phone at all for any reason, you can simply change the phone's product code back to it's original code, and if you really want, install the original firmware from the Nokia Updater again. The code's written just underneath the battery.

Just noticed your post mentioning the threat to 3 to debrand your phone for you... no chance. Three's 3G network is operated in conjunction with Telstra, so I'm pretty sure the option's disabled on their phones as part of their arrangements with Telstra. You're only costing yourself money while you haven't debranded. :P

Either copy your contacts to your sim or sync them with outlook (better).

has anyone tried using nokia map loader lately? it keeps on trying to make my upgrade.. even after i upgrade it ask me to upgrade again

when i press the "x" button, it says the map data on your device is not compativle with the map data available through nokia map loader, i've tried this on 2 computers and it still says the same.. it was working the last time i used it.. now it's not.. any ideas?

Dante writes...

I don't know what Three's problem is. So if I need to return the phone for warranty, which is only a year anyway right?, then it is a simple matter to rebrand the phone presuming it is still operational.

And it is a simple matter to do this?

I don't really need the Three Sync function anyway as I signed up for GooSync's service which so far I am extremely happy with. It allows syncing to multiple google calendars and backs up contacts over the air, to import to any platform. So if that's the only reason not to debrand then I'm all for it.

So... where do I start :-)

Sounds like the phone works better without all the Three junk anyway like the bookmarks that you can't delete that are always there to send you on your way to buy their stupid tones and wallpapers!

I have the same issue - is giving me the sh*ts.

I have deleted and reinstalled all map applications, even earlier versions, and they all get back to the same point....I have to upgrade to v1.3 (regardless whether v1.3 is installed or not). After the upgrade download - nothing, just back to the same problem.

How do I set my phone so it hangs up for conversations with a single slide of the screen, just like it does while answering calls?

apparently according to the nokia forum discussions.nokia.co.uk/...y.id=11623#M1451 it's firmware issue, there's a new firmware for the n95/n95-8gb, by upgrading the firmware the problem should go away... but where does that leave me? there's no new firmware for n82, plus no new firmware for branded nokias either

i reinstalled maploader v1.2.. thank !@#$ it works

ToadsteR writes...

It can't be done with the software that comes with the phone.

Some enterprising programmer could probably write an app to do it since closing it is detected as a key press called 'SliderDown'.\

demothenes: best place to start would be the FAQ ;) I wrote a post a few months back that covers the basics. There are different product codes for colours but it's much of a muchness as far as I can tell.

ToadsteR writes...

Nokia determined that the sliding mechanism of the phone changes the screen from portrait to landscape (and vice-versa). The only exception is when answering a call.

It is quite possible that when on a phone call that you wish to use your phone in landscape mode - and not hang up the call. Therefore the N95 does not hang-up calls with the slider.

If you want to finish a phone call - press "end call". This may not suit everyone (especially those used to using the slider), but I personally prefer the option of my slider of changing the screen orientation rather than being my call controller. Again - personal preference here!

For those who have installed V20 firmware, and now cannot run maploader as it keeps stating that it needs upgrading - version 1.0 of map loader is the only one that works. There are lots of angry customers on the Nokia forums about this. It appears that there is a server conflict between the maploader and the new V20 firmware - so that you cannot download maps via PC!

Anyway, strangely V1.0 map loader software works (but not later versions). I managed to find an operating version (after deleting all other versions) and it does work www.driversdown.com/drivers/22742.shtml (use the US mirror). Refer to the discussions on the UK Nokia forums for the very angry customers - Nokia apparently is aware of the problem and is in the process of fixing this.

The only problem I have left is that I am able to download maps from all countries - except Australia and UK!! Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Okay, I have researched this more, and there is a solution!!

(thanks to here discussions.nokia.co.uk/...&jump=true#M1579)

Plug your phone in mass storage mode or put your memory card in a reader. Delete the /cities directory and delete the /Private/20001f63 directory. Edit the "qf" file on the memory card so that only the first line remains (use a text editor like notepad).

Now Maploader V1.3 works.

The other option is to format your memory card - but I haven't tried this.

Damn that wasted a lot of time!!!

Art V writes...

Nokia determined that the sliding mechanism of the phone changes the screen from portrait to landscape (and vice-versa). The only exception is when answering a call.

Not quite. The N95 seems to send 4 different keypress events from slider movements:

'SliderUp' - slider is extended to show the keypad
'SliderDown' - slider is closed to cover the keypad
'Device8' - slider is extended to show Multimedia keys
'Device9' - slider is closed to cover Multimedia keys

So Device8 changes the orientation of the device to landscape while 'SliderUp' changes the orientation to portrait.

Someone could surely write an app that listens for the 'SliderDown' event during calls and maps it to the 'No' (hang up) button. I don't program thou, I'm more into systems :P

Art V writes...

Finally, thank you for this :P it worked

:D for you!

i got maploader v1.2 working.. if u're really that desperate.. i can download it and zip it for u

Plug your phone in mass storage mode or put your memory card in a reader. Delete the /cities directory and delete the /Private/20001f63 directory. Edit the "qf" file on the memory card so that only the first line remains (use a text editor like notepad).

doesn't work! maybe it'll work if u can copy someone else's qf file (someone who doesn't have nokia maps in the rom).. anyway... i'm suspecting that u need maploader v1.3 to download the latest maps (afterall nokia updates maps twice a year and they're due)

Worked for me...

ok.. u need to edit both the qf files.. i never got around to doing that

what i want to know is how can a juggernaut like nokia release software updates for n95 maps.. when it's not possible to update the software unless u flash the phone?

i don't know if nokia has updated the maploader since yesterday.. but today.. i haven't editted the qf files and i can go straight in and download.. maybe it's because i've just activated the voice navigation trial.. and yes the maps are different from v1.2, v1.2 map for oceania was 82MB now it's 118MB

i'm wondering if i reset the phone clock.. will i be able to continue the trial after 3 days

Sounds like you have the number in there against 2 contacts, or the contacts are listed twice. Most of mine just say 04__ __ __ __ and it get the names when they call or sms. Like most phones (mobile & POTS) the N95 just looks at the last 8 digits anyhow.

Perhaps you have copies of your contacts or your SIM or Memory Card and in the device as well. (in which case it doesn't know which one's "name" to assign to the number).

scottb721 writes...

Anyway, it's showing phone numbers for incoming SMS instead of my contacts name.

try doing what p7e said.
it probably is the case that you have a double up of contacts somewhere.

I had this issue a little while back, and then my phone stopped telling me when I recieved new messages...
if this happens (or if you dont have a double up of contacts) try doing a hard factory reset, and see if that helps.

Three firmware sucks, I've decided to de-brand it because the inability to avoid Helstra insane roaming charges is terrorfying.

I have a few threads running on this topic over at

www.aussie3g.com/modules...e=viewforum&f=85

It seems that the main disadvantage to de-branding is that it will wipe all configuration settings and I will need to set up all access points, SyncML, etc?

What's been the experience with others with debranding a Three N95 to a generic say Euro firmware?

Dante writes...

and I think rrrohan's phone died midway through update because it ran out of battery.

yes it did but from memory it just said fully charged which it was but what ever it does on firmware update eats battery power somthing cronic

rrrohan writes...

It does, thats why its a good idea when doing the upgrade to keep the charger plugged in.

demosthenes writes...

Not quite true, I debranded and upon booting the phone up, and attempting to use the web browser started "searching" for access points, I don't know if it downloaded them or they were saved on the sim card, but I didn't have to input any configuration at all.

And half the fun of debranding is going through all the settings again.

lol like telling a one legged man "i wouldn't walk through a mine field" but oh well.

been 2 weeks so far. but using a crappy phone make me aprreciate the n95 even with its flaws.

i like flashing my n95 around but this cheapo pre paid phone is ebarrasing to show it makes me look like poor ass haha

rrrohan writes...

Hahaha, what happened? You send it back to Nokia?

he upgraded the firmware without a charger plugged in and bricked it and now I guess it won't be replaced under warranty because it was de-branded and now now way to re-brand it for warranty purposes? Even so I thought there would be emergency firmware recovery tools?

So the only risk with de-branding is standard firmware upgrade risks? i.e. keep the charger plugged in.

I also notice that the USB connection drains the battery for some stupid reason so that could be it.

What about Skype, can I download that or will I require someone to provide the Three Skype installer?

demosthenes writes...

I went ahead with the debranding and upgraded to the V20 firmware successfully. Skype still works, you can download that off Planet 3 > Mobile Apps.

Also, the 3Sync still works, you just need to input the settings which are found on the Three website.

At present, everything that I do with Three works and is even better than how it was.

im having trouble with nokia map loader.

it loads up ok, even downloads the maps, and then transfers it to my phone.

however when i look through the files on the memory card, there is a \cities\ directory but it is empty, and i cant find any map files anywhere else on the card.

whats going on and how do i fix it?

Map files are located in Private/20001f63 on your memory card.

The Private directory isn't visible from your phone so you'll need to use a PC.

I don't see what the issue is though.. It's not stopping the maps app from working is it?

It doesn't mean that MapLoader didn't copy them across just because you can't find the map files. :P

Does anyone know where in Melbourne I could get an aircraft EMPOWER connector for my N95. I have the Nokia DC-4 car adaptor already for charging in vehicle, and you can get an adaptor that converts Boeing/Airbus power supply (15v 5amp) to auto (12v) like the ones at Laptopsforless but I can't find them in stores so far (tried Dick Smith and various travel goods stores). I don't need the Kerio/Kensington/Targus style $150 ones, just a simple $10 plug adaptor.... Need to walk into a store this week and get one, or I'd have ordered on line from the link above.

And before anyone says something about "why would you use your N95 on the plane", its in Flight Mode every trip, but the battery runs flat quickly when I listen to MP3s & watch movies on it during the flight ! Thanks in advance !

Robert writes...

took it back to AllPhones. played the warranty card and said i did everything by the book coffbullshit coff.

havent heard from them. 2 weeks tomorrow. will wait 3 weeks since its xmas and i need to be good up until the 25th ;)

after 3 weeks mark (xmas day funny enough) i will start to fire up.

then again i know what its like to be between a customer and the manufacturer so i dont really like to get angry unless its taking ages........

no mine was generic your confusing me with someone else

Even so I thought there would be emergency firmware recovery tools?

there is but only works somtimes depending mainly on how far along the flash it failed.

i think most reliable firmware update method is over serial port but even then a battery running out of jouice wont be good no matter how you upgrade firmware :S

I also notice that the USB connection drains the battery for some stupid reason so that could be it.

that and transfering to memory card using the phone

they seemed pretty dope when i explained problem. i told girl there software update failed cause didnt want to look geeky but then when she was writing explination of problem for the techs i told her to put "firmware update failed". she looked at me for like 5 seconds before continuing to write software update failed. grrrz

Edit: Doesn't NSU check batt level??

nope i guess they assume people will plug in charger like there spose to :(

Is anyone having problems with voice dialing? Since upgrading the firmware, i can't seem to get any of the contacts voice tags to work. The only voice tags that work are the one for profiles.

Panoman has just come out:D w00t

If no one's ever used it, its a panorama photo taking program, i used to have it on my N70, and the old version used to only take really low res shots. The new version is by far better though, and lets you take full size panorama shots (well almost).

Here's a couple of shots i took this morning (mind my shaky hands a little:P):

You can get it from www.panoman.net (no i'm not affiliated:P i just like the software:D)

Though i do have an N95 classic, and if you take shots at 1600x1200 (12x photos) you can run out of RAM pretty quickly, my suggestion is to remove your memory card (if its got lots of apps installed on it), and put your phone into offline mode, disable bluetooth,wlan scanning and gps to give it the most ram available... (stitching photography does take a lot of memory especially with photos that big.. just try it in photoshop and you'll know what i mean).

Panoman seems to be quite weird as to how many shots it seems to let you take. When you open the program, i think based on the actual scenery visible by the camera when the program is opened it lets you have more shots or less shots (really really weird behaviour). I open panoman indoors and it only lets me take 4 or 6 photos at 1600x1200, yet outside it lets me take 12... and you cant seem to be able to change this without closing/reopening the software..

Other than that weird quirk it seems to work perfectly.

I find that it also seems to correct your photos if you've screwed up a shot you can kind of rescan back over that pic and it'll fill in the black bit you missed:S. (it marks in black if you havent aligned your photo properly).

Have you updated to v20 firmware zyrorl? Curious to see if those memory issues are still happening to you with demand paging enabled.. I have difficulties getting it to run out of RAM these days.

Yeah the NSU does check the batt level. If the batt is too low it won't let you upgrade, unless you switch to mains power.

I had the same issue with another app I purchased. I sent an email to the developer asking what was going on, and their response was to format the memory card. This seemed really strange, so I backed-up the card and formatted - and as advised it worked (no more "file corrupted" when trying to install). Then it was a matter of copying back across the files that I needed to the clean memory card.

well i officially give up, i have even tried downloading devcertrequest.exe.zip to my mac and extracting it there then transfering the .exe over to my pc, still says its corrupted or something, anyone wanna sign it for me? lol

Woot, finally found an email address compatible with friggin' Symbian Signed....

Once I got that out of the way, the signing process was extremely simple. Although, it was a bit annoying because the guide I was following had the wrong instructions. Luckily it was pretty easy to figure out what to do even without a guide once you get to the signing stage.

Anyway, rotateme is a great app. Although I only bothered signing it because I wanted to be familiar with the process once Nokmote comes out, which is the app I'm really looking forward to.

Edit: And to those wondering whether they should try signing apps: if I can do it, you definitely can do it.

It's not nearly as difficult as some make it out to be. Although it can be a bit tedious finding the right email. <_<;

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but if anyone is looking for a good youtube player for the n95, check out emTube www.emtube.yoyo.pl. I have just installed it, and the playback is pretty good. Keep in mind its still in early development.

Have you tried YTPlayer as well? Just trying to figure out which one would be better.

EDIT - Just tried emtube mood myself and definitely reckon its a good one. Unlike ytplayer, theres no limitations as far as I know.

anyone who has successfully signed rotateme would it be possible to send me a working Devcertrequest.exe file? i still cant get it to unzip.

Have you tried YTPlayer as well? Just trying to figure out which one would be better.

Yes, I have tried YTPlayer. It's not as good as emTube. emTube has more options and is more stable with playback/audio sync from my experience. Plus you don't need to run it through Flash Lite 3.

Try using the zip file for the one off this site. www.n95users.com/forum/g...2.html#post42354

Its in the Guide To Obtaining A Symbian Developer Certificate & Signing N95 Applications part of the thread.

ill try but its just a link to the one on the symbian site so i think it will be the same

yeah still the same problem, when i try extract the zip file it just says it is an unknown format or corrupted. I have tried this on xp and vista, tried extracting with winrar and winzip, and even tried extracting it on my mac and then transferring it over... always comes up saying the file is unknown or corrupted.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but if anyone is looking for a good youtube player for the n95, check out emTube www.emtube.yoyo.pl. I have just installed it, and the playback is pretty good. Keep in mind its still in early development.

Hey good find! Do you know if the footage is streamed or downloaded locally?

What zip programme are you using?

Can you whim me and send me the zip file you're trying to open? i'll try opening the exact same file and see what happens...?

Yeah, you have the option of saving the video to the phone or memory card after it has finished streaming. It saves as an FLV file. Quite a nifty program I must say :D

so emtube doesn't actually stream the video, but saves it to your handset and plays it back...

otherwise you couldn't save it.

That's pretty good... even youtube doesnt allow you to save.... (does it??)

Actually another great 'youtube' site is www.idesktop.tv, this is an awesome site if you want to search for clips, and then download to your N95 via PC. It can convert videos to quite a few different formats too...

Just installed RotateMe 2.0 Beta 5 on my N95 its signed and installs fine but when i click to open it nothing happens. Anyone know whats wrong?

Anyone managed to get the homeserver to work. I wanted this so bad but following the instructions on the homepage did not help. The phone does not detect the PC and the homeserver does not detect the phone? Please help

Install the N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis as well. It should be in the same zip file as the unsigned Rotateme.sis

Anyone know why i can't get a GPS lock on my N95 v12 firmware? I'm been trying for the past few days and nothing seems to work :(

All time the slider was open and the back of the phone is facing away from my body and hands. I've sat outside for a good 40mins with no lock and ive tried sitting it next to my window overnight and still no lock!

I had a look at satelite info and i see a series of numbers (2, 4, 8, 9 ,11) with square boxes next to them and it just sit there doing nothing....

Any other tips or ideas on what i can do before i give Nokia a call tomorrow afternoon?

is that the latest firmware? if not maybe try that.. it has agps on it.. so it should lock on quicker

the fact that u can see satellites suggests the gps is working

Have you tried actually enabling the A-GPS option?

Yea i turned everything on, and its still not getting a lock for some reason.

lol version 20 of course. unless ur on 3

WOW version 20 already, downloading and update it right now !

edit: ok my software updater still says my version is the most current... how are you guys getting v20? btw the phone came from Optus.

when u look at the sats and u see the bars, if they are clear, u haven't got a lock yet. I find that when the bars are coloured in, i've got the lock. And u'll see green lights in the right corner

i have an old n95... haven't upgraded firmware to the new version.... just a question, does it wipe out all my contacts and messages in the process??

Mibu-ro: this has been covered so many times it's not funny... have a look through the previous N95 threads or the N95 wiki.

Yes, but you can just make a backup via Nokia PC Suite.
