Ask any N95 questions - I'll do my best to answer. (NOTE: old thread.)

How rubbish is that? Considering the handset is priced at £560, yet a Samsung D500 which you can pick up for peanuts will actually use flash continually whilst recording a video...

Is there any reason behind it for why it won't??

The red illumination works even when your not in night mode...

I have been comparing the N95 with 6110 Navigator. 6110 shows support for 3GPP video streaming, but N95 does not. Does anyone know whether 3GPP support is excluded from N95 features, or an omission in spec?

Thanks!

I'm sure 3GPP streaming is supported - the settings are certainly all there in RealPlayer. Can't say I've tried using it though.

Hi,
Thanks for doing this! This thread is very helpful.

My questions:

1. I notice that N95 has "flight mode". Does this mean that all applications except (such as document viewing etc.) can be used except the ones where network connection is required?

2. Is it possible to activate the speakerphone before the person on the other end picks up (i.e. you dial the number, select speakerphone while the phone is ringing)?

3. Is it possible to assign a quick access key for speakerphone activation?

4. Is it possible to answer the call directly in speakerphone mode?

Regards,
David

thanks for the help. what version of office can i put on the n95 please?

Hi folks,

I have a couple of questions about the video capabilities of the N95.

[LIST=1]
[*]How much space does the top quality video take up? I.e. say I take 5 minutes of 640x480, at 30FPS and the highest quality settings, how much space does that take up?
[*]How long will the battery last from a full charge if continually videoing at top quality? Has anyone tried this?
[*]What's the sound quality like on the video? I've been really pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound in the videos taken by my N91 (when I remember to not cover the mic with my fingers, of course 🙄 ). Does anyone know how the N95 compares?
[/LIST]

Any replies much appreciated 😊

Hi Rafe

I purchased the N95 yesterday and have a quick question I hope you will be able to answer:

Is there any way of passwording certain folders i.e images, video etc etc so that to access these folders, you would need to enter a pin?

Many thanks

Ash

Not that I'm aware of.

You could create a zip archive with a password (using the on board zip manager) and add the files you want to keep private to this. A bit long winded though.

I have my Nokia N95... It's beautiful! Enjoy my unboxing pictures:

And feel free to ask questions 😊

Thanks Stuclark!

Barkotron I have the same questions as you! It would be interesting to here thoughts from people who have used it.

One additional one as well:
1. I never used any of the phones with symbian. So forgive me if my questions is a bit naive. I saw a demo on Nokia website about use of phone with wireless keyboard attached to it. I was wandering if it is possible to use this to add notes to PowerPoint presentations (in notes section of the PowerPoint itself)? And how do you navigate through slides considering there is no touch screen capability (I have used Palm PDA before).

It is possible to edit and switching between slides is made with * and # keys in Quick Office Premier. Don't worry, after 2-3 weeks of use you won't miss your PDA.

The version that comes with the phone does not have an edit mode. You can upgrade the software (from the phone) I recommend you go for Quickoffice version 4.

1. It does vary but about 25mb a minute a good ball park figure.
2. I haven't tried this. I would guess it would so about an hour, maybe more.
3. Not as good as the N93, but about the same as the N91 (as I recall). It is a bit muffled.

Hi Rafe,

I took delivery of an N95 and I have two questions;
I fully charged the phone but it died afer only 3 hours, is something running in the background that eats battery life?
I also recieved two memory cards, one small one that fits into the side of the phone and one larger (SD type) card that doesn't seem to fit anywhere - any idea what it's for?

No 3 hours is definitely not normal. If you had the GPS running the whole time with the backlight on that might explain it (the GPS and WiFi when in use a lot of power), also it could be something you installed. Bit difficult to say. Note that the GPS will be running if you have maps open (and its therefore a good idea to exit maps if you are not using it in contrast to other program which you should consider leaving open (switch away using the S60 key) to get the benefits of multi tasking).

The larger card is an adaptor for the smaller one so you can use them in standard SD card slots (e.g. a USB reader). The little one fits inside the small one.

Yes, got my N95 Monday....I'm in the US...and it does work on cingular because all I did was swap my sim card...camera is nice in my opinion...still need to get a media package to test all the internet stuff out, but wiFi works great. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my text messaging to work and how to put on word and excel documents on here; where I can actually edit them. Anyone have a great forum or place to download upgrade software please let me know.

Does the Nokia N95 support AGPS? If this is not supported can software updates make AGPS possible?

One more question - How accurate is the internal GPS of the N95? 10, 30m, 50m?

Rafe,

I paired my new N95 with the SE HBH-DS 970 and everything works as advertised except that the headset display does not show the name of the caller (just the number). This was a known problem with Windows Mobile devices but i wasn't aware that even Nokia's are plagued by this problem.

Everything else works exceptionally well, that is the AVRCP profile is simply fantastic and i'm able to play/plause skip tracks etc without any problems. Any idea as to what the problem is?

Thanks.

Does the N95 need to have a data plan to use internet, or is this done through SIM card? I have T-Mobile in the USA and am trying to find out what to expect if I were to buy a UK model N95.
Also, I'm new to Symbian OS and would like to know if Excel is capable of running; any link you can point me to get caught up on symbian os.

Hi

Has anybody installed tom tom 6 on there n95, and tried to output the display onto a portable DVD Player for the car.That would be good.I cant see why not.

I haven't tried outputting to a DVD screen in the car, but I can't see why it wouldn't work, so long as you have the inputs needed in the car to get the signal to that screen.

Hi

i have not set my tom tom up yet,but was thinking i could use the AV cable that came with the phone to connect to a DVD player.

I have problem with the internet broswer or it might also be the connection problem.

Here is the situation, I can connect my n95 to my house's wireless router. I can open the 1st website(whatever website it might be) i go to. BUT i cannot open any links on the website, or I cannot go to another website either. It will take a long time and a message saying "no gateway reply" would pop-up. I tried many times, but each time the same thing happen. Please help me to pin out what's the problem and how can i fix it.

Thank you very much.

Hi Rafe is there a way to increase the free ram from the 21MB to anything higher

If you want to listen to radio you must plug in your headset.... but can you instead pair with a bluetooth stereo headset??????:icon4:

I'm sorry to return to this old chestnut, but I think there is a group of us out there with this very annoying unresolved problem. We can make a browser connection through our wireless router and surf a very few pages before everything very quickly crawls to a stop and we get the message "Web: No gateway reply". When this occurs there is no chance of further browsing without switching the phone off and back on again. It seems to behappening with a variety of routers and encryption methods. I have tinkered with every setting both in my phone and Netgear router to no avail. I know it's not dignified, but I'm begging for help here!

You don't need to plug in the 'headset' to listen to radio, you need to plug in the remote, which doesn't trigger a headset plugged in response from the phone. So yes you should be able to (although I haven't got a bluetooth headset on me to try with).

I have had my N95 for a few days and now the browser is not working at all. I cannot use WLAN or Orangeworld or anything that uses the browser. Is there a way I can reinstall the S60 browser?
