I recently purchased a new N95 phone and to be honest, i wish i hadn't.

The phone is now only a month old and I'm lucky if the battery can get me through one day and the software is also playing up. When the battery starts getting low (very often) the gallery starts to continuously load up, making it impossible to use the phone, lately this is starting to happen even if the battery life is moderately high.

I have looked on the nokia website and did a software update on my phone, but apparently my software is already the most recent. So now I'm looking for some software which can format my phone, i don't mean put back to factory settings because that does jack for my situation, i need a full format, although i cant find much on software issues?

Any help?

dude I couldnt agree more! I cant even go the menu without a SINGLE crash! it is absolutely rediculous! the main purpose of a phone is to send txt and make phone calls and I CANT EVEN do that with the N95 because it keeps crashing when it doesnt get any attention!

[markzzmad]

Now it is just continuisly loading the gallery, over and over, rendering the phone unuseable.

Please someone help me figure this out before i throw my phone up the wall (seriously).

It's main purpose is Multimedia but i think nokia have gone too far with it's software.

Definately can't use it as a phone

try resetting your phone by holding down the *#3 call buttons and also pressing the power on keep them pressed until the phone boots up to the initial startup ie time date entry...next update your phone via nsu....this should work

agian its only your's nokia my nokia n 95 its VERY fast.... no crash ... freze ... slow load its the fastest phone i ever see .. so .... try to format and restar & update the soft ......

Try holding down the menu button for a couple of seconds and this should show you how many applications running.
Close the ones you arn't using and should work fast with version 11 software.
I love my N95.
Have heaps of software on it and works quickly.
Battery gets better after time and especially if you minimise the light settings on display and use a darker theme on it.
This is not a phone for people that only want to make calls with.

Any chance the gallery button is a bit dodgy? Mine has no problems, at low power it gives me warnings until it is time to do the autoshutdown trick.

About battery life read these post (last one first). There are some nice testresults about battery performance. If you phone does not compare. You either have problems running powerhungry applications in the background or a buggy battery.

How on earth can you hold down *#3 and the power button all at once?

I'm really having trouble with my new N95. I can't seem to unfreeze the Music Player and it won't update with my songs I've added.

I also don't know how to uninstall and reinstall the app. If anyone can help that would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

[cassmow]

I've been doing that but it won't close Music Player which appears to be frozen.

Any ideas?

Thanks

today I restored the factory, so all my files were deleted and all, then after a while it is working fine now, but I always get this feeling when I take it out my pocket and press the menu, I have a feeling that its going to crash lol! always nervous! but now it seems to be ok, just the battery life is annoying, I charged it at 8:00pm last night full charged then around 3pm its DEAD lol

[markzzmad]

Formatted my phone, lost all my conacts etc but it still didnt help. So today i took it to the nokia shop where they did a software update (a more advance one, apparently the sottware they updated it with was only avalible for O2 networks) but phone was still **bleep**ed.

So now its in the post to nokia, let them deal with it.

Peace,

Hi all

So I've reverted to factory settings, reformated the phone, reinstalled the firmware, reformated the memory card.

I added a couple of songs to test it out. Music Player finally realised it had something new and offered to refresh which I select and now it is hanging again.

Not impressed at all and hope I do not have to send it away for fixing. In my opinion it should be replaced completely under warranty since I've only had it 1 week!

[markzzmad]

It should be under warrenty, my phone is just under the 28day limit for a replacement, but i cant find the receipt, so it had to be sent off, but if they cant fix it i get a replacement anyways so its a win-win situation.

Depending where you got your phone from, you should be coverd.

Markzzmad.

I took it down to the Nokia Care shop and they reinstalled the software and it still does it.

Now the guy I bought it from is being a huge pain and trying to say that it won't make any difference if I have the phone replaced as the "software" still won't work.

I'm sorry but I figured that if I buy a phone I expect the software to work. Like, if I buy a car I expect the gear box to work!

I'm going to try to have it replaced and see if I still get grief from the "cut and run" salesman!

[kevineu]

Geesh, I feel sorry for you guys...

[oranki]

Silly me,

You earthling only have two hands ;-)

It must just be a bad batch of phones ive never had to do a reset since ive had the n95 so i cant complain it works great

[loudsaxo]

My phone just did the gallery loading thing, where by it just loads up the gallery over and over and over, seemingly triggered by a random button press, the phone would just go mental and load the gallery over and over, as mentioned rendering the phone useless, i was becoming worried that it was broken, particularly cos i have been insistent with my pals that its peoples inability to use them properly that makes everyone moan about the crashes etc.

i'm on v12.0.013 and its been flawless up till now - i just did the alien multi button press reset mentioned in this thread and it isnt doing the gallery thing now, but we will see if it continues to work as it should.

hmmm
