Firmware upgrade troubles.

Took me 2 days to get the latest firmware loaded turns out
I needed to run Explorer 1st so the Software updater can get
all it's settings for the file transfer, wotever :/
nice one Nokia I've been using Opera browser this week.
I did find the answer in the Nokia forums so thanks people.

Dropped my N95 damage photos :/

OH s***! I stacked my 2 day old N95 FLIPPIN HECK!
(or words to that effect) Dropped MY N95 from waist hight
leaving the kitchin switching the light off, the bottom end
hitting square onto a broom head which broke the fall some what
now I see what I think maybe some damamge :/ along the right hand edge
of the keypad where the slide rail runs, just great!
I had it in a black camera case as well! Canvas with no neoprene padding.
Need to insure it fast, and get a crystal case as they save the phone when
dropped. And they are only about £5, I'm using a lens cloth folded up for
extra padding for now. So the moral is get a decent case!
if you havn't already got one, I need a drop proof / waterproof case, anybody?.
Can anyone tell me who dose a good Insurance deal on mobiles for the U.K.?
Here are pics of my N95 taken with a Samsung i6 Digimax PMP.
Is it damamged??? Can I fix it? or shall I not bother or goto Nokia Center?
It all works ok the camera button only needs a very light touch to pre-focus
the shutter which is standard i'm sure.

Lost all my credit using Maps be warned.

Lost all my credit NOT downloading ANY "Maps" at all! heh! you to aye?
Hey at least I'm being honest with my review.
I won't ever use MAPS again! why don't Nokia put the UK/Euro maps on the install
disc? Will have to wait for Tomtom N95 UK maps to come out now?

T-Mobile surfing Tarrif any good?

Think I need to get on that T-Mobile Free to Surf tarrif that actualy costs
£7.50 a month its not Free at all hah!.Is it any good?

Reboots for no reason.

From new my N95 would occasionaly reboot itself for no reason at all.
Using latest Firmware and it has rebooted itself once or twice.

Battery problems.

From new I had to get a replacement battery after just 2 days
the new one dosnt last that long about 2 days approximatly 28hrs
just sending some texts, playing with settings, occaisional Wifi sniffing,
ringtones. Still testing this battery on new firmware.

N95 can't see my WIFI card in Laptop

N95 can't see my WIFI card built into my Laptop TOSHIBA EQUIUM M50-216 PSM57E.
the card is an INTEL WM3B2200B built-in wireles card.
N95 can see the neighbours BT wireless router,
my laptop sees more connections from other neighbours.
I have not tried the free access from 2 local pubs yet.
As a result I have not worked out the Home Media Server yet.

Any good Wifi sniffing apps out there?

Any good wifi sniffin apps out there yet for N95? from Symbian?.

Streaming Radio Audio / Home Media Sever

Nothing beats having a handheld wireless music device & listening to your
favourite radio station live from anywhere worldwide being beamed for free
wirelessy into your hand I tell you its excellent, Its worth having a Pocket
PC for this ferature alone. If anyone can make an MP3 Streaming App that can
handle .pls . m3u shoutcast type files and is able to stream via a Wireless
connection like "Pocket Music" for Pocket PC i'll give you the £20-£30 ok,
and be able to run Winamp Classic Skins like Pocket Music dose is a must
requirement! I have a good collection of Old School Classic Winamp SKins
if anyone wants a copy. Many of them no longer available at www.winamp.com
I Need an App that can Stream mp3s, Windows Media Streams for sites like
www.radiofeeds.co.uk think the mobile site is www.radiofeeds.co.uk/pda
should be linked from main site above. Some useful Mobile site links,
Trains, radio, Wifi, Map n searching sites
www.ka05.com/links.html made to work with mobiles.

Home Media Server

I havn't managed to get my N95 to talk to my Wireless Laptop yet but, checked the book,
I treid to add Home Media Server to ZoneAlarm Pro programs but it refused to show up
in the list :/. it would be nice if I could use Home Media Server to stream live MP3 radio
stations from my laptop using Winamp and or Videos from my Laptop and stream that to my
N95 that would be nice via Home Media Server.
And if it could beam audio from the Line-In on my laptop to the N95, just a thought.

thanks all
