V21 got wat improvement? Any review on it? I am going to update soon. Hehe..

beware with v21. many unlucky users face problems with software instability with v21. software crashing for no reasons. but some people didnt face it.

for me, i still stick with v20. reason? too lazy to backup and reinstall after upgrade

I want to buy a new phone and currently I'm looking at the N95 (not 8gb) and the N82.

AFAIK both are about the same price, so which one is better overall?

Any downsides on both of these phones?

N95= slider, bigger screen

N82=candy bar, xenon

everything else, almost the same. i prefer slider, unless nokia come out with N82 in smaller dimension (ie nokia 6220?? )

one thing i want to ask you, between n95 and n82 which has better sound? loudness?


btw, did anybody try to use the n95's infrared (irda) as a controller for your television, aircond etc??? i heard that there are applications that can be used on n95 as a remote control.

and another thing, can i use gps on n82 or n95 in malaysia. does it have malaysian maps?? and what is malsingmaps?

Just upgraded my phone to v21.0.016
nothing special with it..need to test wat so special again
this can support chinese word.

AFAIK malsingmaps provide maps for garmin.
u can download malaysia maps from nokia maps.

anyone know how much for the ori charger for this N95?
losing mine when go back to hometown.

you need ori charger? why cant get those compatible charger? only RM15

which is better, garmin or nokia maps? and which does not use a-gps/gprs? i want a free gps

n82 and n95 (not 8gb) which has better sound? loudness of speaker when playing music etc??

for free gps. just disable the a-gps.

locking time will be slower though

any ppl here interested to get n95 8GB or n82
got bulk here...

love_hina -30/03/08 AP set add me

the noise.. with low light will have also.. xenon flash will have noise also depends on dark environment.. n95 flash is not as bright as a xenon flash.. but it does serve it purpose well for being a multi purpose phone

guys, can list out the apps that u guys are using?
wan to noe wat to install into my n95..

- Y-Browser
- screenshot
- handy alarm
- office suite
- rotateMe
- TaskMan
- FScaller
- Garmin Mobile XT

Finally got my N95 updated with v21 today.. But the 3D menu that pops up when I slide down to reveal the media keys has gone.. Any idea how to get it back? Or is that function completely gone from the phone?

it's already gone since v20.... u need to press multimedia key in order to get to the multimedia menu

Actually we can have good maps without using our data services, navigational software and fast locking speed with our N95. Just buy a tiny Bluetooth GPS receiver module and pair it with the N95. Well, it'll decrease portability by a notch but the performance is really good. The internal GPS module only has about 6 channels and take ages to get a signal lock. Any external GPS module can get more than 20 channels and lock a signal in just seconds. Holux M-1000 for example is one good recommendation. That way, you don't drain your N95's battery. The Holux M-1000 can easily run for more than 17 hours, good for up to a week's use.

For software you can try using Garmin Mobile XT and one of those Malsingmaps. Its the most accurate and detail map for Malaysia and Singapore. Just support Malsingmap.com, contribute and you'll get a map. Garmin Mobile XT can support S60, Palm and Windows Mobile. For this to work, you need a Garmin-GPS receiver but if you search hard enough, you can find a workaround.

U mean shot the pic in dark environment? Its still acceptable in shot range but in long distance

Thank you for the information..

some compatible charger inside may not have a good ic n will cause exploid b careful in tat while using compatible charger or battery..~~

Music Player has improved a lot in the latest firmware. Now, everytime refresh to add new songs, it won't hang anymore, and run very smoothly~

How much does those external gps module costs? and exactly what brand is sold here in malaysia?

have you tried it before?

i saw in lelong...about rm2++
sounds like a good alternative

I was trying to connect to a WLAN connection using my N95 today and I found out that the connecting process took longer than my previous firmware! Once I got connected to the network, I started typing the address and far below my expectation, the phone showed an error message stating that there's no gateway reply!

The WiFi access point signal strength is at full bar and is a free public WiFi access point where I used to connect without any problems at all with my older firmware. Anyone has faced the same problem?

p/s: My current firmware version is the latest v21.0.016 whereas my previous firmware was v12.0.0xx (Can't recall)

holux gps module cheapest is around rm180

i had a problem after upgrading. my phone wont vibrate or ring when i receive SMS. phone calls were alrite. when i upgrading firmware , my PC Suite suddenly says i got disconnected from my phone , but i din do anything , but thx god it manage to load up. anyone had these problems?

Added on April 1, 2008, 6:15 pmerm.. after i restart my phone , now got receive msg notification d. got ringtones and vibration already. so wats the main problem of this? didnt upgrade properly?

I faced this problem before, but I guess it might due to the access point's error, even the signal strength is at full bar, it doesn't mean u can connect with it.

btw, just used my WIFI this morning, seems like there will be some errors like it will close the web browser automatically, it didn't show any signs and just close directly, latest firmware still haven't fix this error...

same here.. always no gateway reply.. why ar?
just updated to latest firmware too..

I am already using it. Had a field test today to bring me around Putrajaya. So far my combination of navigation software, map and the GPS receiver seems to be very effective. You can try Holux (which is what I am using). I bought mine (Holux M-1000) for RM250 including warranty from a friend I know in Malsingmap.com.

If you want more information, feel free to PM me and I can guide you from there.

Been here for a while haven't add myself. Please add me to the N95 lists as well. Thx!

i just got my N95 (normal edition) 2 days ago..in fact, b4 that was using N80 but no GPS function..tts y change it to N95..

due to this is 2nd hand unit, only comes with cable (normal harddisk cable which can connect to PC), pc suite(downloaded from nokia website).

i would like to know how can i use my GPS? i have search and source in the forum, but not able to do so..i downloaded the map loader software, but it shows me need to use SD Card adapter only can use it,,but i don have it..

anyone can assist me on this? what i can do in order to use my N95 GPS?
thanks! your answer will be very much appreciated..many thanks,,
due to i going outstation next week.hope by these few days i can solve this question....thanks thanks thanks

---> At the first page seem like the link was broken... can somebody fix this.. i'm planning to buy this phone.

erm.. no news bout the wifi gateway thingy?
and also i cant set my email to receive my gmail..
everytime i set my port to 993 in my incoming email settings rite..
after that it will change back to default automatically..
then i can connect to my gmail d.
why ar?

I never had problems connecting to the access point with the previous firmware before.



Wah really ... Guess i'm not the only one who is facing this problem.. Apparently I went thru a website stating that this firmware had WiFi problems but I'm too lazy to check back. . The website stated that the WiFi doesn't stay for long for the new firmware (v21.0.016). I guess we just need to wait for the next update to fix this problem. But I'm so lazy to do any updates anymore.

yea.. i took about 2 hours to completely upgrade my phone firmware + restoring my backups and stuff. the DL speed of the firmware took too much time.

yo guys... kinda interested in the N95... currently using N80 how is the fon performance ? is it laggy ? and it support microSDHC rite ? thx !

Go get it xeNOS No lag even after install many apps and game in it... performance is superb. Yes is does support SDHC... using a Sandisk 4GB one rite now.
To add more umph, high quality camera, smooth video, GPS, BT, Wifi, built-in motion sensor and superb 3D engine. This is one of my favourite phone compare to my Dopod D810 & Sony P1i. In term of speed and sound quality, the N95 pawn them. Only con is no touch screen & average battery life.

mr-2, ic.. thx for the valuable feedbacks bro ! do u use any office applications on this fon? so what is the average battery life like ? any memory leak problem when browsing ? thx ya

no one can help me ya?
