downloading pics to PC

General 11 Comments »

HB Writes…..

I’ve got a Nokia N95 and I want to download my pics to my PC and to a CD. Help!! I’ve got no idea how to get it going.

Admin says: I guess you’d need to plug a USB cable into your PC and then into your N95 and transfer the files off directly. From memory the PC should see the N95 as a USB hard drive/storage device of some type.
You could also try bluetooth for xfer if you have it. Or email yourself the pictures.

A slight change to myn95.com format

General, N95 4 Comments »

Hi folks,
I’ve decided to make a slight change to the way myn95.com operates.
As I now enter my 2nd year of ownership there are a lot less in the way of hints and tips for the N95 surfacing. This is to be expected after the 2nd year of the products life.

Recently you’ll have noticed I’ve posted a couple of users pleas for help to the blog. I figure its a good time for me to edit and post some of these requests for help. The community here is extremely knowledgeable and if we can help a few others out along the way, all the better. Now I know a few of you have been regular contributors to peoples requests and I am sure its very appreciated.

I’ll still be moderating each and every post to keep any noise to a minimum.

N95 8GB only show 995 mb of built in memory instead of 8GB

I just bought the black N95 8GB nokia and it show only 995 mb of memory instead of 8gb. please can anyone help me to solve this?

Admin:
Another please for some help with the N95.
I am sure this regular reader would appreciate any feedback on this.
My initial thought would be are you reading the memory off of a memory card plugged into the side slot rather than the base memory of the unit?

Carbide.ui NOKIA Theme creator

General 1 Comment »

Instead of surfing the internet searching for a theme that matches your taste, I brought this App for you to design your own theme yourself. Instead of registering in many websites to have access to there themes, why not make it your way?

I guess that all you ever need is to use your imagination and create your theme the way you like it.

Sorry I did’t make tutorials for it because of the variation between users. But still if anyone had a quistion I will gladly answer it.

This App is free but still you need to register it with your own registration key after the trial period ends or when it asks.

Here are the links:

Updating Your N95 Firmware

Firmware, General, N95, Tips 9 Comments »

Greetings everyone!

I had some problems like a lot of people while trying to update my N95 to v30 firmware, because even when we know it’s already available for download, Nokia Updater keeps saying we are with the latest firmware.

So, as isawan95 said in New N95-1 Firmware Available v30.0.015, some providers customize the firmware before sell the phone.

This way, they change your Product Code to one that, for Nokia, will be forever firmware vxx.xx. In my case, v21.0.016.

So, i’ve found a tutorial explaining how to change your product code easily. I’ve translated since was in Portuguese-br.

TUTORIAL

Disclaimer: The informations described in this tutorial are intermediary-advanced and, if made anything wrong, you can damage or even ‘kill’ your phone. I suggest you follow these steps ONLY IF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE of what you are doing.

In any way, MyN95 admins or RaphaelDDL are guilty to whatever happens to our phone if YOU did something wrong or anything. We did NOT forced you to do :P

So, let’s get started.

1 ) Install Nokia PC Suite or NSeries PC Suite, connect your phone with the USB cable in Pc Suite Mode and make sure it was detected and working perfectly. Normally, one of those softwares comes in the CD-Rom that came in the phone box. I recommend you to update its version to the latest and, i like more NSeries PC Suite, but you choose :P

2 ) Download the following softwares:

* Nemesis Service Suite ( My Mirror at DepositFiles )
* Nokia Software Updater ( I can’t mirror since website detects the language and you will download an specific language exe)

3 ) Install Nemesis Service Suite without changing anything and PAY ATTENTION at the ending of installation where it will show you a tutorial explaining how install the necessary driver. Then:

* Open the program and click in the “Scan for New Device” button, in the upper-right.
* Click in “Phone Info”
* Clique in “Read” and, with other info, will show you your current Product Code.

4 ) ATTENTION, this step is very important!!!

In this point, the original and blocked “Product Code” of your phone will be replaced to one update able. The following list show you some “Product Codes” that allow you to update your firmware, both to N95-1 (EURO) and N95-3 (NAM). Pick the one accordingly to your phone type!

N95-1
#0548763
#0546222
#0549028

N95-3
#0552432
#0552434

Question: What type is my phone?
Answer: N95-1 have Lens Protector while N95-3 don’t. Look the damn photos :D


N95-1

N95-1

N95-3

N95-3

5 ) Type the chosen Product Code in the form, check the “Enable” checkbox and click in the “Write” button. That’s it, the Product Code of your phone has been replaced. Check if everything worked fine by clicking in “Read” again. Now will be shown the new Product Code.

6 ) Nokia PC Suite and NSeries PC Suite have the Backup option. I ask.. No, i DEMAND YOU to backup the phone!

6.1 ) MAKE SURE your phone have Full Battery.

I suggest you to make the updating in a GOOD Notebook because if Energy drop and your pc turn off or pc freeze ’cause your pc sucks or anything, say good bye to your phone and be sure you got some cash in bank to buy other one :D

7 ) Simply update your firmware using Nokia Software Updater, following the things the program ask you.

8 ) Its Ready! Your phone is now updating and unbloked!

…Hey, wait!?! Where are my Contacts, my Configs, everything!?!!?

Yeah, updating firmware is like formatting your PC. That’s why i told you to make backup! Simply use Nokia/NSeries PC Suite and restore it.

9 ) Re-install your applications.

10 ) Future Firmware updates does not need this big tutorial, you will just need to start from Step #7.

And that’s it, our tutorial is over.

Zyb, social networking comes to your mobile

General, N95 3 Comments »

I’m generally not a big fan of social networking websites. I don’t use facebook or myspace and probably never will.
I saw this website mentioned in a comment that someone left here at MyN95 and figured it might have some value.
The one benefit this site appears to have is it will allow you to backup the contents of your phone. This might make
life easier when it comes time to try and restore your data to another phone. Perhaps after a firmware update.

Now I haven’t registered and tried this site or its features, but I figured there are enough of you out there that might
want to give it a go. As usual leave any feedback in the comments section.

The website to visit is http://zyb.com/

The definitive guide for signing your own applications

Applications, General, N95 15 Comments »

Hi everyone,
I’ve seen quite a few comments recently on people struggling with ‘beta’ apps and not being able to sign the application.
Here is a guide I found today which step by step shows you exactly what is needed to sign your own apps.
I haven’t tested it myself yet, but I will over the next couple of days.
In the meantime, anyone else that has the time, give it a go and see what you can find out.

Bear in mind it may cost you a few dollars to get your own certificate, however once you have it you’ll be able to sign any of those unsigned applications that you have laying around.

You can view the guide at this website http://n95-nokia-phone.blogspot.com/2007/09/advanced-and-inquisitive-symbian.html

N95 and your Mac

General, N95, Tips 11 Comments »

Nokia’s support for the MAC platform has traditionally been pretty weak. However, with the release of the iPhone, we are seeing some good things from Nokia to counter the iPhones dominance. Here is a collection of stuff to make your N95 and your Mac work together:

Nokia MultiMedia Transfer: Transfer pictures, videos, music, and more between your compatible Nokia device and Mac. Integrates audio with iTunes and pictures with iPhoto. You can also set your N95 to be recognized as a Camera. One of the coolest features however is transfering you photos to iPhoto, and have iPhoto transfer back optimized versions of your photos to your phone, keeping more space available.
http://europe.nokia.com/A4423134

Nokia N95 iSync Plugin: Sync your iCal Calendar and Address Book with your phone. Also supports Entourage, however, to get this support you must sync Entourage with .Mac. This will enable Entourage to use iSync to transfer data to your phone.

In Entourage: Preferences > Sync Services > Check all that apply.

Auto Sync: Julian Schrader has created this lite app which will open iSync, Sync, and then close iSync. Works well. there is also some discussion on his blog around automatically running this app when your phone enters the Bluetooth range of your Mac. Very handy, however I have not tested as there are two scripts to make this happen and I don’t much about combining these scripts. Perhaps a reader here can compile the scripts into a nice little pack for the rest of us.

Julian states he uses a third party app to get this functionality, called “BluePhoneElite”. You need BluePhoneElite II for the N95, but it is currently Beta, requires a purchased unlock code, and N95 support is not fully functioning yet. Keep an eye out though as the feature set, once complete for the N95, is quite robust.

More Maps: I believe this is the default app on the N95, but if you don’t have it one your phone, get it here.Load all the maps you want, and you can upgrade to the Navigational Aid.

No ringtones?

General, N95, Tips 7 Comments »

Hi! First post here, but hopefully a useful one. I’ve had a nightmare trying to change my ringtone – or more specifically my alarm tone but experienced the same problem with any profile and anything requiring a tone – ever since the first time setup, I seemed to have no tones in the phone – it showed the message “opening” and then, when it finished, the only options presented to me were to Download Sounds or switch the tones “Off”. I sent the phone away, it came back just the same. I downloaded some tones, it still didn’t find them and wouldn’t let me change my ringtone.

Then I took the microSD card out so I could send the phone back for replacement, thought I’d give it one more try – and it worked!

So, if you want to change your ringtone & the phone won’t let you, it seems the solution is to take out the SD memory card, change it, then pop it back in.

Update: Aussie maps for N95 currently offline

GPS, General, N95 11 Comments »

Hi Folks,
rather than exceed my hosted bandwidth this month, I’ve elected to take the Australian hosted maps offline. With the advent of the new mapping software and its increased download speed, perhaps there
isn’t any requirement to maintain this download separately.
I’ll review the situation in July. I’m open to paypal donations. If you feel this site is worth it and you’d like
to see some enhanced content on here, start a discussion in the comments section.

Contact name not showing when your phone rings?

General, N95 2 Comments »

There is a simple fix to this particular problem.
On the Nokia N95 (and other Nokia’s) when you have an identical contact in phone memory and also on the SIM card the phone isn’t able to successfully display the contact name when the phone rings.
Delete one of the contacts and you should get the display name back.

Check out http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4366148. Its the primary UK website for the N95. It has demos, downloadable software drivers, manuals and general info on the phone. There is a fair amount of downloadable material on this site!

It is worth keeping an eye on this site over time as software updates (firmware?) will no doubt be posted here as well.

Check to see how many applications you might have inadvertantly left open.
To do this hold down the Menu Key
