morgan306 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks for the link jp. If anyone else is interested, I have found an add-on that allows the ir port to be used like a 4in1 remote type thing, and control tv's and the like. Maybe I'm just a geek.

Baracus Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Interesting.....ive been offered an N95 as an upgrade, any bad points to this handset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan306 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Baracus, I've had mine a month now, the only bad point the battery,if your on the blower a lot, it will definately need a nightly charge. Other than that, it's a great phone. Light sabre gadget (pointless, but funny) = http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/6...Light_Sabre.php All in one remote control = http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/6...lly_appears.php There is plently of stuff to read up on allaboutsymian.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptaylor Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Something useful for business users or sole traders,not just on the N95 but also some other mobiles (Samsung G600/SE K850i)is push email using a google mail or gmail account ,all you need to do is enable IMAP in your google account and set up your phone,email is then pushed to your handset blackberry style,though not as quick. Very useful. I have set this up on some colleagues handsets and tested how quick the mail gets through in comparison to my Blackberry google mail pushs about 3-4 minutes slower than Blackberry,but its free apart from GPRS charges to your mobile bill.

He also advised me to stay away from any N range phone as they (IHO) were trying to do too much at the one time and so were prone to freezing etc. - now why didn't he tell me that when I got my N73???

morgan306 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Strange, my N95 hasn't froze up once yet (touches wood!). My phone was charged last night,and I only received about 3 calls today, and send/received about 25 messages,plus messing around with the tv remote add-on, and a quick game of snakes, and I have gone down one bar on battery life, so it's not so bad.

Baracus Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do any of these add ons affect the warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptaylor Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do any of these add ons affect the warranty? Only unofficial hacked firmware will cause warranty issues,you can run any software you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptaylor Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Talking of firmware,time to hook your N95 up to a PC,took this from another forum: '*NEW* N95-1 Firmware Available NOW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get Updating!!!! This was taken from AAS Changes in the new firmware New Welcome application New camera software and tweaks from the 8GB model - FAR faster shot to shot time, with 'Processing image message' during any delays Long press on camera button launches camera if shutter is open New My Nokia SMS tips and mobile web portal system Demand paging (for ROM applications) with 30 plus MB free RAM after booting. Search 4.0 integration on standby screen. Old multimedia menu still there, i.e. it's not the new style N-Gage game previews (FIFA, Asphalt) and portal/shortcut to upcoming N-Gage client, as in N81 and N95 8GB Nokia Music Store client, although the store server hasn't been updated to handle the N95 yet - maybe this'll happen later today Keypress bug gone(!), I think No auto-screen rotation, looks like I was wrong predicting this, so we need Samir's RotateMe after all - someone please help him get this signed ASAP!'

j.paul Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 JP, have you found a site to download the new firmware? Nokia update If you do update make sure you copy/backup all your numbers There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

DaleR Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This thread a bit stale. But Garmin Mobile XT is pretty good, plus it uses the built in GPS. Tip for anyone who things the GPS reciever isn't that great... Make sure you have the latest firmware as the later revisions use A-GPS, and make sure the slider is open as the GPS antenna is underneath the keypad.
