My N95 Hints, Tips and Help

If the multimedia key on your N95 has stopped working, you can fix it by doing a simple restart of the phone. Failing this, a hard reset should definitely do the trick.

One reason for this happening is a bug in the clock application, specifically with the recurring alarm. If you set a recurring alarm, once it has activated, the key will no longer be working.

There is also speculation that using photographs taken by the user with the N95 as the background in the multimedia menu, then deleting them, also triggers the bug, but this is yet to be proven. Further comment would be appreciated.

I received an email from ‘raz’ this morning about some camera problems with the N95.
This post contains some links to discussion on the issue.
The issue revolves around the rear (5megapixel) camera and that it stops functioning after a period of time.
The front camera remains unaffected.
Interestingly for me, my first N95 had a dead camera when I picked it up. Luckily I was able to exchange
the phone on the next day and I’ve had no problems since.

Saw this and thought it might be useful.

I’ve seen a few people post on forums to say their microphone appears to be dead when making a call.
A temporary fix until new firmware is released is to turn on the loudspeaker and then switch back
to microphone mode.

This seems to give the phone the kick it needs to get the mic functional.
Currently the problem seems to be isolated to the 10.0.0.18 firmware.

Let me know if this works or doesn’t work for you, especially those of you suffering mic problems.
