QuickOffice v6 cr@cked by BiNPDA

Applications 7 Comments »

Although this is kind of old application, it’s importance to some people is still so great.
I tried it and I admit that it is one of the best applications I have ever installed in my mobile.
Simply, it can create and edit Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel files in both 2003 and 2007 extensions.

Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/224494300/QuickOffice_V6_Cracked-BiNPDA.sis
Powerpoint file to test: http://rapidshare.com/files/224497554/Mercedes_F700.pps

The cr@ck will stall the trial period for over a million days. But still you can use all the features.

Updates on N-GAGE Cracked by BiNPDA

In my previous profile (Roxas00000007) ,I made a post about N-GAGE games which many complained about the Instruction on how to do it. This time I wrote a new tutorial described step by step that no one could say that more explanation is needed.

And for those who updated their firmware to v30, I have tested N-GAGE games on the new h@ck (which I posted on an other post) and they work perfectly.

Speed camera addition to nokia maps

Applications, GPS, N95 1 Comment »

Might be of some use for UK residents, not sure if the £19 compares well to other potential applications. web site also looks a tad basic, so be aware of what you might potentially be signing up for.

http://mcbiskits1.googlepages.com/ this tells you how to add the speed camera app to your n95, its a bit drawn out having to have symbian sign each bit of software, but It works fine, you can upload a 2005 database for free, but to get the latest upto date camera locations its £19 a year subscription.

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

Another accelerator application for the n95.

It is called flipsilent and it has the same function as the future app “shutup” made by samir.

Accelerometer Apps| Ink Cartridge

Acelerometer, Applications, N95, Tips 23 Comments »

I only discovered a few days ago (thanks to this blog) that my N95 had an accelerometer in it. I tell ya I was on a high all day! Since then I’ve found an assortment of little apps to show off this little nifty feature! If you’re like me and behind on the news, an accelerometer is a little chip inside the phone (similar to the iPhone & Nintendo Wii) that allows you to control apps via movement of the N95. Nokia put it in there so that it could determine whether a photo was taken in Landscape or Portrait. I’m actually suprised that they didn’t develop and market this feature in the release of the N95.

NOTE: All these apps are suitable for the N95 and the N95 8Gb.

NOTE 2: Some of these apps need signing. Follow this great guide to sign your own apps.

You can print this guide, as well. For best results, be sure your ink cartridge is full.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE N95 ACCELEROMETER PLUGIN FIRST! Click Here to get it!

rotateMe v2.0 as mentioned on this site allows you to rotate the screen with the tilt movement of the phone. Just like the iPhone you can rotate your screen into landscape to view photos full screen.

Nokmote (from the same developer as rotateME) allows you to make selections on your N95 with hand gestures. Replaces your directional pad in every application including games. Change song selections with a shake just like the SE W910. Also available at Nokia MOSH

Moving Ball is a little app which I think was designed by the Nokia crew to demonstrate the accelerometer in the N95.

Light Saber – Turn your N95 into a Light Sabre. Makes the genuine sounds according to the movement of your phone. Includes impact sounds as well. Fight as a Jedi (Green) or on the Dark Side (Red). 5/5 for fun!

Inclinometer gives you a visual of the angle your phone is on. Is designed so you can see the angle of your car when 4-Wheel driving. *This version lacks calibration to compensate for holding the phone upright or mounting in phone holder*

Accelerinvaders is Space Invaders on your phone controlled by the accelerometer. This is the latest version which allows you to put the phone into landscape and play, as well as using phone vibration to enhance gaming experience.

Beta Youtube app for S60 phones

Applications, N95 4 Comments »

**Note**
This software is somewhat restricted at this point in time. It only allows you to do a search for a single word.
Multiple keywords are not supported. That seriously restricts its usefulness. As a novelty app however its fine.

Wow! Software developer Samir has just released a Beta version of full youtube player. Although this is in beta, it really shows us a glimpse of things to come. Download the youtube player YTPlayer. Please note that it is still in beta!

Please note that you will need to install Adobe flash lite player 3. This version of flash lite is also only a developer edition and is not intended as replacement for the current flash player provided with the phone.

The file is in .swf format and it should be run from with in Adobe flash lite 3 and make sure you copy the file to either c:/data/other or e:/other

Great news (well, at least for me): Developers can now download the Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition for supported handsets via Adobe Labs. You can get all of the information on the site. I successfully installed this version on my N95 (latest firmware) and am testing it at the moment. You might want to give it a try and see for yourself.

There is a new theme available from Pizero. If you don’t know about Pizero, then let me tell you she makes the best theme (in my opinion at least) for S60 phones. This one’s graphics is in SVG format and should easily fit any screensize or orientation. You can download themes with default icons or with the customized icons shown on the side.

Another option for using MSN Messenger.

Applications, N95 3 Comments »

**Note**
Turns out this is a web enabled version of messenger. Not a stand alone app.
Still may be useful for some people though.

Received an email to my hotmail account today.
The direct link inside the email was broken, however this one http://mobilecentral.ninemsn.com.au/msggo.aspx took
me to a page where I could use MSN messenger for my N95.

Depending on the N95 browser you are using the image on that first screen may not display correctly.
I zoomed out to 50% and entered my phone number that way.
(You can also enter this address into your desktop browser on your pc which should eliminate any viewing problems)

The sms I received provided me with this link http://m.ninemsn.com.au/msg/?pn=xxxxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxxxx was my phone number. So manually entering that may also work.
You may also need a windows live id or hotmail address to download this application.

Anyone without MSN Messenger already on their phone want to give it a try and report back if it works?
It may be just restricted to mobiles on the aussie phone network. See if it works for you.

Use your N95 to drive a remote control car!

Acelerometer, Applications, General, N95 4 Comments »

This is not really a hint or a tip, just a really great use for the accelerometer that is built into the N95.

There has been a lot of interest recently in the software that allows you to control the screen in your N95.
Here is another use for your phone.

IPhone vs N95 (auto-rotate screen)

Applications, N95, Tips 32 Comments »

As we all know and see there are many forums which compare the nokia N95 to Apple’s IPhone. Feature comparison etc etc etc… Well, there is one feature that the IPhone has which I very much like: screen auto-rotate. If you switch the phone to landscape, the screen auto-rotates to landscape and when turned back to portrait, the screen will display in portrait mode.

This week a colleague of mine (he was very proud to tell me he has bought the 8GB N95 *jealous-mode*) told me he has found an article of an application that auto-rotates the screen of a N95! I was very surprised because I did not know the N95 has level-sensor hardware. Officially the application will be available at the end of this month but for those who can’t wait… Make a donation and you will get the beta version of RotateMe v2.0 Guys believe me, I have this app on my phone: I love it :-)

Using Quicktime Pro for HQ movie conversions

Applications, N95 4 Comments »

for N95 of course!

I think there are freeware out there but Quicktime Pro is simply awesome! (I’m a Mac fan)
Exporting to MP4 AVC/H.264 doesn’t work well with N95 but here’s a tip, 3GP is a container format which allows MP4 AVC, awesome quality for a small file, and N95 reads it with no problems.

Open movie with Quicktime Pro,
File > Export
Movie to 3G > Options

Video Settings:
Video Format: H.264
Data Rate: 512kbits/s (Play around with settings for your preferable quality, 512 is perfect for myself)
Image Size: 320×240 (Tick preserve aspect ratio and use letterbox, you can use crop if you don’t mind a cropped image for movies)
Frame Rate: Current
Keyframe: Automatic

Audio:
Audio Format: AAC-LC (Music)
Data Rate: 128kbps (same as video, play around with the settings)
Channels: Stereo
Output Sample Rate: 44.1kHz

That’s all. If anyone has a better converter for H.264/AVC codec, please share.

Data Usage Counter

Applications, N95, Tips 4 Comments »

Before my N95 I was a PocketPC Phone Edition user and using the internet on your PocketPC meant big bills if you didn’t watch your data usage. So the only way to do this was with a third-party “Data Usage Meter”. So naturally I went looking for one when I got my N95, but I couldn’t find one…only to discover that it comes with the phone in the “Log” application!

To get there: Menu> Applications> Log> Packet Data

Once there you can clear the Log (with a lock code…which by default is 12345 unless you’ve changed it!) or set the log to clear itself every 1, 10 or 30 days.

OSX Auto Sync when entering Bluetooth range

Applications, N95, Tips No Comments »

I have discovered a great “out of the box” way to auto-sync when entering your Bluetooth Network. I have tested this and it’s working great, syncing my Entourage Calendar when I come within Bluetooth range of my MacBook. (See my post below if you need to Sync with Entourage)

Two simple steps:
1. Download this: AutoSync

2. Install Home Zone: Get it Here
An awesome little app which will allow much more then simply Auto Syncing. “Available actions include enabling or disabling the screen saver password, switching network locations, setting the system volume, locking all keychains or opening any file, application or URL.”

Once installed, Set Home Zone to run AutoSync when entering range. Don’t be confused either by the Sync option in the dropdown, that didn’t seem to work for me, but once I pointed it to the AutoSync script, everything worked fine.

Now, I’d like to say I scoured the net to discover these gems, however, after some slight googling, I came upon someones site who had actually done all the work and written much more on the topic. So for more details on the above, and some other useful tips check out:

Navigation Upgrade Not Supported in NZ

Applications, GPS, N95 8 Comments »

Admin Note:
I normally don’t publish articles that are posted here that read more like forum posts, but Craig has a valid concern and possibly the community of N95 users out there might be able to offer some advice.

Nokia did not release the navigation upgrade for the New Zealand region. Which is very frustrating. I am using MGMaps at the moment (Google maps linked to the GPS receiver) but this does NOT allow for journey planning or voice navigation. I am currently looking for a cheap or free alternative software package to use as a substitute.

Anyone have a similar problem, or have a solution? I am in contact with the Nokia rep here in NZ, and there doesn’t seem be a fix coming for us. I know four other N95 users in my city who share my frustrations.

New Nokia Maploader released.

Applications, GPS, N95 4 Comments »

NOTE: Before you race off to install this, a few people have reported issues with the new mapping software on the N95.
The issues seem to revolve around the way in which routing is handled, it appears with the new version you lose some functionality. Peharps someone that has tried this can post a comment and let us know what the issues actually are.

It looks as though Smart 2 Go have released an updated version of Map Loader. And this update isn’t just a quick useless update. It is a nice jump forward.

With the main improvements being the downloading and installing speeds of the maps (down to about 10minutes for Australian Maps now).

And the option to download the voices through Map Loader.

There is also a new Smart 2 Go Map’s Application being released for the N95 in the coming weeks with the following fixes:

Here are some of the updates you can look forward too:

  • Navigation Trial: 3-day free Navigation trial
    Giving you a chance to try out the voice navigation features before upgrading.
  • New indicators: GPS status, bandwidth indicators
    Giving you more information and allowing you to keep track of the data being used by the application.
  • Map improvements: Colouring, details, horizon, country borders & time zones
  • Unified search: All search methods in one menu & intuitive search interaction
  • Improved category search: Multi-level search (Eat + Drink -> Restaurants -> Thai)
  • Faster navigation start: Starts before full route calculated, starts without GPS fix.
  • Faster MapLoader: Download speed improved significantly and voice command download
    A very welcome update which should hopefully improve the multi hour download times.
  • New regions: India and Indonesia plus better coverage in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore (in total more than 100 countries/over 50 navigable)

Play Non Real Media streams on your N95

Applications, N95 10 Comments »

I was dissapointed to find out that the N95 only does real media streaming radio stations, specially when most internet radio stations are MP3 based. But I found this link to an open source app for the N95 which plays mp3 streams as well as shoutcast. 

You can get it here: http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/s60internetradio/ClientPage.html
To add stations to the shoutcast type playlist you have to put each stations IP address instead of DNS address, but this is not a hassle if you do a DNS look up on the net.

Follow the instructions and you should be listening ot other stations on your N95. I had stations that my ISP provides for free running over wireless in about 10 minutes.

Unable to play MP3′s or any music files

Applications, N95 4 Comments »

Some people have reported problems with a corrupted music folder that wont play sounds/music files. There is a solution and it involves tracking down the \Private\100012a5 on the memory card. The file causing all the problems is named something like DBS_101FE031_mcv7.mpd

The simple solution here is to delete the entire \Private\100012a5 folder. You could try just deleting the offending index file, but no guarantee’s as to how that will work.

After you have deleted/removed, be sure to go into music player and refresh your music selection so it can rebuild the index.

Replace the version of search on your N95

Applications, N95 2 Comments »

There is an updated version of the search program available. The update allows you to also search content on your phone. This is pretty handy if you want to search your calendar or contacts list, email or pretty much any other content on your phone. I even use it to find song titles in my MP3/AAC collection.

Ok so what do you need to do?

  • First, as painful as it sounds, remove the old search program. (It’s version 2.020 or something, fear not the new version is in the 3.030 range)
  • Once thats done, go to the Downloads application and click on Search.
  • If you are on a nice data cap plan (3 xseries for example) just follow the prompts and accept the download + install
    If for some reason search isn’t in the list, refresh the page, if you still can’t get it, then do the direct download.

  • If you don’t have a decent data cap (why do you have an N95 again?) then grab the file here save it on your PC then USB xfer it (or bluetooth) to your N95
  • Install the new Search program. Quite a few Continues and Ok’s to click on here
  • The install process might even tell you that you have Search still installed (didn’t we just delete it?). If it does just say yes you wish to overwrite the old one.
  • Search is installed into the Applications Folder, move it somewhere more friendly like the root folder

    Now when you run Search you should see a new setting for My Content
    Select it and search your phone for info!

    Note: On my phone there seemed to be a few random services under the local section ike Swiss yellow pages and some other stuff. I noticed these were gone after I installed the new search program. If these local services are important to you, then perhaps its best not to install the new Search program, or perhaps try installing it without removing the original Search like I did.

  • Tired of waiting for maps to download?

    Applications, GPS, N95 7 Comments »

    Then try this.

  • Insert memory card into the N95
  • Hard reset the phone <- Only do this if you don’t already have the maps software reading from the memory card
  • Run the Maps program and alllow it to create the directory structure on the memory card
  • Plug in a USB key and copy the directory structure (alternatively just copy \Private\20001f63) from the memory card
  • Unplug the N95 from the USB cable
  • Run Maploader again and you will have fooled the maploader into loading onto your USB Key

    This should speed up your download speed significantly.

    Once it’s done just copy the relevant directory (or structure) back to your memory card

  • GPS Map Data Location

    Applications, GPS, N95 No Comments »

    I’ve seen a lot of people ask where the GPS data is located on the microSD card (or phone memory).
    The directory which contains the maps is \Private\20001f63

    Phone behaving sluggishly or out of memory?

    Applications, General, N95 4 Comments »

    Check to see how many applications you might have inadvertantly left open.
    To do this hold down the Menu Key
    for a couple of seconds and you will get a popup list telling you what apps are running.

    It’s often very easy to overlook these background running apps.

    GPS activation

    Applications, GPS, N95 5 Comments »

    This might sound really really obvious, but the first time you fire up the GPS in your N95, be sure to stand in a space that is as open as possible. No huge tree’s or office buildings/towers in the way.

    I did this and on my first try the GPS synced up in less than 30 seconds.
    Since that time it has been able to sync within 10-15 seconds.

    So find an open space and enjoy your maps!
