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?

There’s no card slot in the N95 8Go

The 8GB of internal memory should be displayed as a drive with the name of the drive being E:
Hope that helps.

What are you using that shows 995MB of memory? Can you confirm that you are looking at _mass_memory_ and not _phone_memory_?
The N95 8GB doesn’t have a side slot for a memory card.

995 memory i checked is of memory card inside the phone.

tool-file manger-memory card and here it shows memory card memory of 958 M total.

how can i check mass memory?

When you are in Tools->File Manager, there are two “tabs” at the top. I am assuming you are on the one on the right. Go to Options->Memory Details. That should give some information on where memory is being used.
To view Mass Memory and backup the phone memory there: Tools->Utilities->Memory. It will show you the capacity there. Mine reads “7672 MB.” I guess when Nokia says “8GB” they don’t mean 1024MB per GB.

I know this sounds kind of stupid, but is the back-camera horizontal or vertical to the flash?
Where I live,(sometimes) stores frame customers for extra money by changing classic N95 phone’s back part with the 8GB’s.

Better chick with the store you both bought your phones from.
Just to be sure, backup your phone and memory before going.

lols… nokia n95 has no memory slots.. so if you find that your memory card is 1 gb or 2gb, your a victim of fake n95 8gb…
