No such problem woh...Did you update your firmware recently? Could be firmware bug, or could be certain video crashing the video centre?

Hmm did you mean the singapore store there? Very safe one la, the order system is pretty fast, they even answer my emails despite it's already 9PM or so...

Or were you talking about the bulk orders?

Added on November 30, 2007, 1:36 amMost likely faulty hardware, mine press play during any application will also activate the music player...of course the stop button will stop the music as well anytime.

Hmm could be the app messed up with the RAM paging...

I'm going to change the keypad next week, just saw this video:

Apparently changing keypad doesn't require ANY screw driver! So most likely the AP warranty won't be affected me guess, most likely they won't know...

EDIT: It seems that disassemble the N95 will destroy many thing and has to be replaced according to the video...Hmm...Then must prepare many spare parts I guess...I think that also explained why some people has this and that cannot function after repairing...

EDIT2: I must applaud Nokia for taking care the AV connector as well, they made it replaceable anytime so when the connector loosen one can replace it without soldering...

Both the stock and the latest version has been stable for me and no hanging. However I did experienced stupid phone restart due to insert headphones halfway receiving calls as well as playing videos/games, almost everytime. Can live with that but it could be better though. Oh and the chinese<->english dictionary is missing, I was only able to play it for a day or 2 then update firmware it disappeared. I tried install the N73's dictionary that Mr. Lonely suggested, it's available on the nokia website but it asked me to install the base or something first, so still no luck.

Select "Maps" then wait to load up. Then you'll see the bottom right side got traffic lights, if yellow light flashing means GPS is trying to search satellite. Have to wait until it locks, first time will take very long. Mine virtually cannot lock for the first 2 days...

LOL no la, just on and off, keep trying lo. If you read earlier posts, the GPS start to work as soon as my gf tested it...

Added on November 30, 2007, 1:18 pmHmm the previous one got? You mean the N/W position? I do find including the shortcut to the "GPS data" really handy, I'll have to go through the menus to open it...

Or did you mean the plus sign when locked? It'll appread when locked...Then press "0" the cursor will automatically locked to the current position.

Disable any network accessing, it'll just drain your battery even more quickly. Internet access is needed cause need to load the map when you scroll assume if the user never install any maps. Since you already install, no need GPRS/3G/WiFi.

No, when the GPS is locked on, a plus sign will appear on where you are. Then, when press "0", the square cursor will follow the plus sign and will remain locked in the middle of the screen while you're moving. There'll be nothing when the GPS is not locked on...

Not sure if it's main distributor or one of the distributor for the product, but the company definitely in Singapore. Check this page...

Go to "Download!" and update the catalog via internet access, then you can select the free download ringtone. Honestly, nothing really special...Quality not really good...

Haha because it's a very best multimedia phone at the moment of course tempting lo...

Typing chinese with Symbian S60 has been very much improved. While typing sms and you want chinese typing in the middle of the task, simply press the pencil button and you can choose input language on the fly, very convenient!

Added on December 1, 2007, 12:30 pmActually I think this one is a bit cacat in the design, I can imagine how the flip will distract the left side use when you have your phone in landscape mode.

Nevertheless, it's a really cool looking leather case but I'd prefer the one can flip horizontally than vertically (featured in allaboutsymbian) although it's only meant for N95-1, but according to missgeek it fits...Hmm actually horizontal flip also can distract vertical usage hoh...

EDIT: Just found out it's an original Nokia leather case, model CP-235

Actually I think the best is no case at all, maybe I buy this one http://www.shieldzone.com , some thing like martin field but with full body protection, I'll order it in the next housing change (use it for a while first) cause now already got scratch marks at the back...

Added on December 1, 2007, 12:36 pmThat is when you had the chinese input enabled. Also if in chinese input mode the english input will be locked at either T9 or ABC mode (which is what it was before changing to chinese input). So if english only I'd change to english input mode. Just press the pencil button and select then gao dim, no need to go through menus again...

Hmm just came across this one on ebay searching...

Although it's quite nice on the protection but it turn the phone into cheaplak looking plastic model like those at phone shops...

More battery life report, since last charge that's 36 hours ago, with "GSM only" enabled, few short calls, few sms, video shooting for under 5 minutes, 10minutes music/video playback, now still remain full bar...

I thought I'd just confirm by switch off the phone and on again so it should be accurate, still full bar...I'm happy with the battery...

Why not? I've already did heavy usage test, now just want to test if very light usage how long it can last...Also forgot that I took several photos with flash...

Also I felt switching to GSM only can have longer battery life...

Surfing at starbucks is a pleasure with N95 8GB, the reception is really good and surfing really smooth. In contrast, my E70 seems to always suffer, even it support WiFi G, connection drop outs, turtle speed, etc. WiFi B is actually more than enough, it's just the reception more important.

Can't help you mate, if I take out battery then cannot take pictures liao...Don't have extra camera at the moment. However you can scratch off the black ink on top of the battery and check the number at nokia website to see if it's original.

Dunno eh, never use touch screen to surf before. I have no problem with d pad though,just sometimes hard to hit some tiny link with just 1 character. i can imagine touch screen will be better. Maybe personal preference lo, frankly i never like touch screen, i'm better with buttons.

Plus i won't carry extra memory card around even a pouch has card slot, i've experienced how troublesome it is when the extra card hilang or dropped unaware...

Added on December 3, 2007, 12:48 amBy the way my phone still has 2 bar of battery left after almost 72hours of light usage...maybe can tahan until tomorrow morning...

Hehe I posted the similar link for you earlier...

You can check out the seller's other item, he seems to sell the whole housing too, but, roughly RM300+- for full housing...Maybe the seller sell expensive lo...

Hmm did you had your network remained dual mode? Your battery life seems to be even longer than mine...Mine only can achieve more than 3 and 1/2 full day with GSM only, going to test with dual mode again...

Hmm after more readings about the UMTS and GSM, I interprete it in a way that the phone will not connect to both network, when in dual mode, the phone will fetch the 3G network as priority, then will switch to GSM when 3G is weak/not available. So in dual mode, the phone should consume more power IF the reception is unstable and constant flipping between both network. So it might be your area has very good reception and stayed on only 1 network most of the time. I could be wrong though but I live up on the hill where phone network often weaker than normal so maybe in dual mode my phone will consume more power to switch between both network constantly. That said, that's just my interpretation...

Anyway I think mine also powerful enough to last, I forgot I actually had the phone fully charged at 3am of thursday night (that is, 3am of friday), then only left 2 bars last midnight (which is around 70 hours), and finally the battery drained off and totally empty this noon 12pm with several photo shots, 10 mins of video playback, as well as 10 mins of WiFi.

The flickering only happened in the power saver. Try to set the backlight auto off to like 10sec and power saver at 5 sec (which should activated before the light goes off). Mine the screen is flickering as like when you set your computer monitor to very low refresh rate (60hz or lower). I guess that's also part of the power saving as the screen doesn't need too frequent refreshing of the screen. But that's kinda weird, I thought it's something broken when I first got the phone, after update the firmware sitll the same...
