N95 classic - v20 firmware and tones

3 replies · 2,863 views · Started 12 January 2008

I've recently upgraded my N95 classic from the T-Mobile v12 firmware to the EURO1 v20 firmware.

The phone runs much better pretty much as everyone else has posted. However I have one niggling annoyance.

When I go to change ringtones, rather than displaying a list of everything available I get a choice of 'Dowload sounds' (weblink to Nokia or T-mobile sites) or simply 'Off'.

It only seems to do this when there are more than around 200 mp3s on my memory card. Which having got a shiney 8Gb card for Christmas is a bit of a pain. I've reflashed the phone twice, and tried every combination of transferring music (via PC suite transfer file/music apps or writing straight to the memory card externally).

Any light that can be shed would be appreciated. Or my stupidity in not searching the forum thoroughly enough exposed!

It's a bug!

To overcome it you must first copy the tone(s) you want from your memory card to the phone memory, then remove the memory card, then set your tone(s) then re-insert your memory card.

Well, moving the tones onto the phone memory allows me to set them ok, but as soon as the memory card is back in the slot, the same dialogues appear if I want to change the tone.

I'm beginning to suspect this is more to do with the Music Player than anything else. For example, I have about 5Gb of music on my phone (well the memory card), yet when I refresh the music player, it shows 250 songs. By my reckoning, I have more like 1250 songs on there. Sure enough when I delete a few tracks off music player shows about 240 songs.

My guess is that the music player can't count more than 1000 tracks, which leads to these problems.

Or maybe its bollocks?

I had the same problem when I upgraded to v20. This made it hard for me to find out how to use a video ringtone. I just reflashed my phone and it worked.
