lol I was just asking for the opinions and findings of the phones...I know I can have it service but I seriously doubt if there's anyway the NCC people can do about it IF it's a "normal" phenomenon. I've read about the N95-1 slider and seems NCC people are telling people that it's normal.

Don't get me wrong, I would have bought an authorized set but I certainly don't have enough budget at the moment. However I'm pretty happy with my purchase anyway and for the price I paid I'm happy to pay for extra services/repairs if anything happens.

Oh I should have used the word "free up", same to some flip phones it can be tight and firm but will free up and become loosen as soon as 1 week of usage. Yeah, when vibrate there's the high pitch sound exactly how you described, sounds like there's something loosen inside. Anyway the vibration of the N95 8GB is the strongest among the ones I've used.

Uh, peel off thing is pretty common for Nokia phones (actually applied to most phones as well)...When the D-Pad peel off already the keypad should be also the same...Anyway if replace they should come as 1 set.

Haiyo if you got RM2400 to spend just go ahead to buy authorized set lo only add another RM400+ since you dumb an AP set no point buying another AP set...

Actually my advice is don't sell your phone for no reason cause Nokia phone hoh quality control is not 100% good, even at Singapore people are reporting they didn't get perfect set most of the time, like first 1 got reception problem then 2nd set has slider problem etc...Like mine all function perfect just slider a bit loosen over use and although keypad no chinese strokes but I kinda live with that already lol...But still will change it after few months of use cause don't want void warranty first even though it's AP warranty.

Just want to report that after switching to GSM only network during 5 bars of battery, the battery managed to survive for 48 hours with 2 bars left, that's also with roughtly 30mins of GPS, and everyday normal (light) usage with video/photo shooting/music listening/playing games.

Mostly related to firmware, just go flash the firmware lo RM30 is really worth it. Mine also AP and go flashed, it's working very well. Oh yeah guys if you want to check if your AP set is original Nokia phone with correct IMEI, try register at My Nokia, it should identify yours is a N95 8GB with just IMEI numbers.

Uh did you misunderstood something? The normal network we use is GSM (voice calls, sms, GPRS, I think EDGE as well) so that's why I said switch to GSM only rather than dual mode (means GSM and UMTS). I think if you switch to UMTS (3G) only, you cannot receive normal call/sms but only 3G calls which is the video call as well as MMS. If you use MMS then no choice have to be dual mode all the time lo.

I'm doing another charge of my battery and see if GSM only can last how long.

Hmm I think UMTS also handle normal voice calls and SMS (perhaps everything that GSM offered). However, there must be a reason for the Dual Mode option exist. I think calls made with GSM only phones cannot be received by a UMTS only phone? I don't think the network can be translated since as your quoted info stated both network are not compatible with each other. I could be wrong, though...

After update firmware right?

Wait for the next firmware lo...I think anyone installed the latest firmware also tio dictionary lost...Stupid Nokia...

Ah ok! Great info!

I was just guessing only...


Upon googling it seems like a Italian telco...

RM...200??? Water set also not so cheap leh...

Added on November 28, 2007, 8:35 pmOh nevermind, I read your story at the regular N95 thread...That's sad...

This post has been edited by pigcat: Nov 28 2007, 08:35 PM

You can do that on your own, but have to accept the broken new firmware (no dictionary lol). Not sure if it'll be success I don't have much experience so RM30 to me is worth it.

That said I no experience, don't dare to so...Ay least they're doing hard firmware reinstall.

BTW what's the product code for APAC?

Some more the payment is only for 1 time so why not?

And, authorized set no need to reinstall firmware...

Added on November 29, 2007, 12:19 amHave to install the Nokia Software Updater, download it via Nokia website. Then connect your phone via USB cable and set it to General profile. Then follow on screen instruction...

Wait for newer firmware first cause the current new one not worth the update.

I've discovered something really funny about the 3.5mm connector...I found out there's problem with the detection of the connector as it sometimes automatically set to TV out or the remote control not working if not insert properly. Some variation and results as below:

1. When you jack in the connector slowly, certain connectors will results in automatically switch TV out.

2. When slowly jack in the remote control, sometimes it'll provide 3 options and sometimes it'll provide 4 options (the extra one is the "headset").

3. If the remote control doesn't jack in quickly before the prompt of the options, the remote function will not work when options pop'ed up.

By the way I find the headphone I have the connector is a little thicker than normal and that connector will sometimes give the automatic set to TV out thing...

All this happened all in a sudden, I'm not sure why. Does this happened to you too?

Added on November 29, 2007, 3:00 amAfter some googling apparently the remote control seems to have a battery inside which will send signal to the phone and tell the phone a remote control is insert. I tried with the TV cable to matter how fast/slow I insert it'll sure ask for options. But why the my headphone giving me the automatic switch to TV out really puzzled me, it's not like the headphone has ID or signature?

Added on November 29, 2007, 3:25 amNow it seems like whenever I try to insert the remote control it'll prompt me 4 options but when I choose headset it'll still switch to headphone, which seems like a firmware bug to me...Oh well guess I'll have to insert the remote control a little quicker if I want to use it...

This post has been edited by pigcat: Nov 29 2007, 03:30 AM

I think when insert too slow, the connector only detect 2 area (watch the mini jack got 2 or 3 lines) and didn't detect the headset signal then only give you 3 options lo. But still if you plug the headset until prompt 4 options, and insert the headset fully then choose headset option (the remote control has no headphone connected), the control will also work too but hoh the sound will still play from the speaker but only at tiny volume no matter how you adjust the volume. Very strange...

But then I try to plug the jack at minimum speed if using the headset, scare too hardcore then the jack will become loosen pretty quickly. But I think with the stupid thick jack of my headphone pretty much loosen up the spring a bit... ddww did you find the 3.5mm jack tight/moderate/loose with the original headset? Mine is only moderate tightness but I prefer something a little more tighter...

EDIT: Hmm nevermind I think it's pretty healthy for now cause I can lift the phone up by just holding the remote control when the the headset is connected...

Added on November 29, 2007, 8:26 amminde - it's normal that the IMEI doesn't match the box for an AP set. Mine also like that, but the IMEI on the phone appears to be original Nokia phone and can be registered on My Nokia with the correct model identified.

Uh, do yourself a favour to check what's going on with the "lost" of the dictionary...?

But...but...firmware cannot upgrade RAM and battery capacity and also screen size...Maybe the look as well...

But then, classic N95 got video editor...So depends on personal preference...

Yup no more video editor...But even photo editor already so slow on saving a 5MP picture, can't imagine how long it'll take to save a 5 mins video...? Haven't use a classic n95 before though...

Yaloh why Nokia so careless one...Too busy with "counting cash"...?

You can try use softwares like "GetDataBack" or "Restorer 2000" to restore your files. Cause unless the memory is formated or overwritten with new files there's high chance to recover your deleted stuffs back.

Eh? Ya woh...how come n73 can download one? Stupid nokia never put the same app at all download page of all phone models...

Thanks for tips!

Added on November 29, 2007, 3:00 pmI tried install the dictionary but it asked me to install the base or something first? I have the database installed and i'm pretty sure it's still there but cannot install? How did you got it to work?

Em did you mean the square barcode thing? N95 8GB has barcode scanner but basically Symbian S60 phones newadays also got lo cause it's software dependant and as long as there's camera then can use. But the result really not good, barcode that's smaller than my thumb will be really hard to scan...

Nothing special la, it's like I want to send you number like "29387492835690182639812758723847639408712" but hard to type it all down, make it into barcode then scan then can immediately know what's inside...

Hmm I never activate my A. GPS, only use the normal built in one, the first 2 days the GPS seems to take forever to lock on, then out of a sudden it locked and after that, max time to lock is less than 10mins, normally within 5 mins (cold lock). Then after first success of cold lock, later hot locking only takes like few secs to half a minutes. Lonely San yours is Avaxx right then there should be Malaysia maps already installed. Keep trying...

Go to App --> Office --> Barcode scanner, then scan whatever the data matrix barcode you come across. Like the Hatsune Miku (see my sig) package, there's the pink sticker there with a barcode, it contained the URL of the website, instead of print it out, they make into barcode so when scanned the URL will appear. You can create your own with the barcode software and type whatever you like then encode into a barcode...

Placed an order directly from the website, expensive nevermind lo can't wait too long before the lense got scratched...

Added on November 29, 2007, 11:10 pmOh yeah I read the newspaper today and I saw the N95 8GB commercial, so confirm only Avaxx carry this model. Beware if any seller trying to convince you with a Zitron set...
