Well i am surprised by the quality issues i have experienced from Nokia's flagship phone. I had an N80 before and it was faultless, software aside.😡
My N95 not so, the first one decided keyboard and screen backlights were unnecessary after 3 days and would turn off for no apparent reason. The second one decided that undestanding people you call wasn't essential, with the earpiece giving the best dalek impersonation i've heard in a while.
New one seems ok so far, but the sotware bugs are all too evident. the NSU is all very well, but it does seem to allow nokia to release bug ridden software all too easily, presumably to get products into shops earlier and revenue in their pockets. Still i'd rather this than wait an eternity for its release. Gotta take the rough with the smooth.🙄
I have to say orange have been great, replacing handsets next day.:icon14:
It is bl**dy annoying asking for new codes for software due to IMEI change tho'.
Same problem here I'm on my 3rd N95 first one the ear piece went, I tuck it back to Vodaphone shop they changed it, got the new one home, charged the battery turned it on, and tried to ring someone I could hear them but they couldn't hear me. Back to the voda shop the one I have now seems to make calls ok but the menu seems slow and jerky and when I text someone I sometime get a reply upto 5 hours later even though it says delived. My wifes N95 had a strange fault she would call someone her phone would ring normal but the person shes ringing phone doesn't ring they only know shes rung because it says 1 missed call on there phone?? Voda's cure turn off 3G because if it looses the 3G signal it has a problem switching back to normal mode?? but we live in a 3G hotshot it all sounds like the phones out to early and with very little testing.:frown:
"Voda's cure turn off 3G because if it looses the 3G signal it has a problem switching back to normal mode??"
I had to do this to get my calls working with Orange. The phone would cut off randomly mid call, restart and then when it would eventually come back on, if I then made a call no body could hear me. A quick solution is to turn the loudspeaker on, and then back off again.
Anyways, it is probably (like it was for me) to do with going from 3G to 2.5G during a call automatically, which can happen anyways regardless if your in a good 3G coverage area. In your call settings; change the network from dual mode (which does the automatic switching) to either UMTS (3G) or GSM (2G/2.5G) and change the operation selection to manual, and obviously choose Vodafone for yourself.
This seems to fix the problem, and has worked fine for me for just under 2 weeks. If I change it back to dual mode, my calls again begin to cut off and people can't hear me. A bit annoying, and it doesnt affect every N95, but there you go.
Mine doesn't even work in 3G mode, orange say there is maintenance going on on the 3G network in my area, but its the same all the way across London:con?
Seems little point in a video phone if you cant use it. also the net is painfully slow if you're not on wifi.🙄

Sounds like FW.
Why not just flash it to Generic ?
Is that only do-able from a service center?? nothing available on the NSU as yet?
besides, it has developed after a week or so, and the first phone had backlight probs, only the last two with earpiece probs. New one seems fine so far, surely its hardware related anyway??
