newbie with and 8gb n95 got problems

6 replies · 3,486 views · Started 20 March 2008

hi ppl, got a N95 8GB the other day, it is an 02 phone but it is unlocked so i am using it to replace my sony ericsson k850i which i hated with a passion.

on vodafone contract and vodafone setiings wont allow me to send mms, retrieve email from hotmail or connect to vodafone live although it lets me connect to msn uk and other websites. i get error message saying packet data connection not available.

product code is 0559497 but have changed it to the Euro 1 code using nemesis software

phone is at V11.0.026 at the mo.

anyone have any advice on how to solve my dilema as Voda arnt very helpful.

plus should i upgrade to V12,V15 or the V20 updates. i just dont wanna lose picture quality of camera or anything as thats wot i have read about some ppl doing those upgrades

thanks

Make sure you use the Euro 1 code for N95 8GB and not the standard N95

0549487 - Euro 1 Product Code

Then run the updater this will take you upto V15. Do not enter a standard N95 product code as it can potentially brick the phone. They aren't fully compatible as far as I'm aware.

I have an O2 model and this is what I did, the phone is working perfectly now and I haven't lost anything in way of picture quality. If anything the phone is much more stable.

i am using that euro 1 code but nokia nseries updater says i have latest software installed

should i back my phone up before upgrading?is there chance it would wipe all my data like contacts, music and the spiderman3 video?

never had any data loss wen upgraded my n80 but different phone so have to ask

it takes agaes to back up though coz of spiderman, anyway i can skip backing that up and just do tunes and contacts?

OK....
Try this link all about debranding:-

The Euro1 code for the N95 8GB = 0549487

Then read this link all about updating firmware:-

http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/67123/

The latest generic software for the N95 8GB is

V 15.0.015
11-12-07
RM-320
Nokia N95 (01.01)

You will need to back up everything to Nokia PC Suite however you will lose the Spiderman 3 movies activation key and will not be able to play it anyway.
When you do a restore after upgrading DO NOT RESTORE SETTINGS!

For Vodafone settings go to this link:-

Good luck

ok phone is being updated as i type this to v15

hopefully its ok,

vodafone link above wont send me the settings even though it says it has

ok phone is up and running, vodafone havent sent me any settings but after v15 update everything is working so far, havent tried retrieving email yet though.

phone seems quicker to respond although could be imagining it

thanks everyone,
