Nokia N95 memory and extension

Solved

Hello, I recently purchased a classic gray Nokia N95 (not the black N95 8GB) and I would like to know the storage capacity for music, as I have the impression that it doesn't store much (160 MB) and if that's the case, how much can I extend my memory card (with a future purchase)?
Thank you
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hi

    The initial memory is indeed 160 MB, which is low. But the N95 has a microSD slot to expand its memory. I put a 4GB microSD card (a Sandisk) in mine and it works very well. My card is a high-capacity card (SDHC, the evolution of the SD format) that is not recognized in some "old" devices, but that’s not a problem for the N95. And Sandisk provides an SDHC card reader with the microSD card for transfers to other PCs.

    The memory on the N95 is not compartmentalized; it is shared with all functions. You can put whatever you want on it. So if you want to put 160 MB of music, you are free to do so, but then there will be less space for contacts, SMS, and other emails or the maps from the GPS module.

    OK, thanks! Where did you buy this 4GB card, in a store or on eBay (what price did you pay)?
    Thank you.

    I bought it in store. The card was 55 euros. I don't know if the price has dropped since, but it was roughly the price of 4 1GB cards, so it seemed reasonable to me.

    I also bought a gray phone, and the back is purple with 8GB of capacity, just like the black ones.

      It's because you bought a N95 8GB and not a "regular" N95 ;-)

      J'ai acheté un Nokia N95 gris normal et j'y ai mis une carte de 8 Go. Il marche très bien, mais lorsque je veux regarder un jeu sur le téléphone, un message me dit que ma mémoire est pleine et que je ne peux pas l'ouvrir. Il y a des jeux que je ne peux pas lancer car je ne sais pas comment faire pour enlever ou faire de la place dans la mémoire du téléphone.

      Hello, I think you must have allocated your photo/video memory or something else to your phone's memory. You should check in your photo settings if the memory used is that of the phone or the card. Transfer your photos to the card to free up space on your phone for messages. Similarly, you can assign the card's memory for your messages; otherwise, they will be limited to the phone's memory. Generally, you go to one of the apps and look in the settings.

      That is to say:
      you put the micro SD card in your phone and you can't access it on your computer? Or do you only have the phone memory and not the card's?

    You can get them from 256 MB up to 2 GB, and that's already pretty good!!! It shouldn't be too expensive, around 16 or 17 euros for the 2-gigabyte micro SD card (with the SD adapter)!!

    It doesn't seem possible for me to specify which memory to use on the N95. The device seems to choose automatically, except during import or installation, in which case the device asks for the destination.
    In any case, I can't find a function to choose the memory allocation. That would be useful and might be present on the N95 8GB.

    Hello

    I put a 4 GB card in my Nokia N95 and since then I've only had problems.

    It freezes from time to time, it shows me "corrupted memory card," and I have to remove it and put it back in every time I turn off the phone or when it freezes so that it adds the music and photos back.

    The bottom line is that everything I had on it—music, ringtones, videos, and photos—is gone except for 6 photos. I haven't formatted it because I would like to know if there is a way to recover all that.

    Thank you.

      Hi
      I just bought the Nokia N95 and I'm having the same problem as you with a 4GB micro SD card; it keeps telling me it's corrupted.
      I wanted to know if you've found a solution since then and if so, could you let me know.
      Thanks.

        Hello,

        Yesterday I managed to put an 8GB micro SD HC card (from Scandisk) in my N95.

        What I did was copy the files from my old card to my new one. So far, no problems.

        The only advice I can give you is to insert your blank (formatted) card into your phone.

        Good luck.

    There is an update for the Nokia N95 (V13.0.003) that allows for the management of cards up to 8GB.

    To check the version of your Nokia, you need to dial *#0000#.

    The software is directly downloadable from the Nokia website. I will soon try an 8GB card.

      @nokia n95 01.01
      In your opinion, could I use the 8GB Micro SD HC memory card?
      Should I also do things like you on the Nokia website? I don't know anything about it actually.
      Thanks, see you soon.

    A priori no. I bought an 8 GB Micro SD HC from Scandisk and everything works fine.

      Hello, I just bought a standard Nokia N95 (160MB) and I wanted to know if buying a 4GB memory card for €13 on eBay is a scam or not?
      Thank you in advance

      hi

      I also have this Nokia and instead, I bought a 4GB SanDisk card at Darty (it's easier to return or exchange it if it doesn't work) and I paid 13 euros.
      So don't bother buying it on eBay, go to a store, the prices have really dropped.
      bye

      Hello everyone, I also have an N95, the first one, no issues at all. For a phone like mine, 8GB is too much, max 4 or even 2. After the memory full bugs, hold down the menu button and close the open apps, and it should be a bit better. I have a question that will concern everyone. Can we use the N95 as storage for PS3 updates? Be careful... it’s going to heat up. Thanks.

      I realized that all people with a Nokia N95 don't have the same firmware version. I have version: 30.0.015 and no problem.
      Others have earlier versions and it doesn't always work... all I know is that the update is tricky because you have to be careful with your data; you can end up with malfunctions while trying to fix issues.
      Oh yes, you need to do the updates gradually (from v10 to v11 to v12, not from v10 to v20 because that's where there are significant risks).


      Alright, bye!

      Exactly.

      Phones purchased without contracts (outside of operator bundles) are easier to update. For my part, I have an N95 from Orange. I was "forced" to debrand it (remove the operator code) to install the latest firmware (and at the same time regain functionalities that had been removed, such as internet calling).

      If I remember correctly, the Orange operator firmware was still at version 13 when the official firmware 30 was released.

      It's funny...

      I'm on an Orange N95, and I was able to easily upgrade to version 30 without any issues...

      Several reasons are possible:

      - Orange has made version 30 available since the time I flashed mine
      - Your N95 was part of an Orange pack and the seller unbranded it (the small Orange logo on the back doesn't mean anything regarding whether it's still under operator pack or not, the proof being mine which is unbranded and on which I haven't bothered to erase the logo)

      As of the latest news (which dates back to December 2008), the Orange pack N95s still do not have the ability to make internet calls (VOIP). A simple way to check is to simply dial a number and press options. If "internet call" is offered, it is either an unbranded phone (a phone that has had the operator customization removed), or a phone outside the pack.

      Hello,


      For your information, mine is an N95 SFR and there is no Orange or SFR logo and I received version 30 right at the purchase.

      I have a classic N95 with firmware 30.0.0.015 and it just ruined my 8GB Sandisk SDHC memory card after 3 months of use.
      The card has become unusable even on PC, and I've lost all my data...

        Hello, I had the same problem as you. I had a 4GB micro SD on my N95 classic and all of a sudden, it stopped working... So I bought another 4GB one, but this one is making my N95 lag, while the previous one worked very well.
        What did you do for your case?
        Any advice to give me?

    Hello,
    regarding the question THAT ARISES; yes, you can use an 8GB card on a Nokia. You need to go to the nearest retailer to your home (check the Nokia website). For me, it's FNAC and the small 8GB card works very well....

    Good luck!

    Oh dear, I was just about to reply to the person talking about problems with their memory card and the issue with their sound when I call with the microphone that no longer works...
    And then a woman comes at me!!! What’s more, she even mentions her age, which I don't see the relevance of in this forum.
    Anyway!!! Do you think it's too hard for me? And that I don't know how to write? I'll prove you wrong right now.
    Earlier, I was in a hurry, so I wrote like I do in texts; what's the problem? I don't like being looked down upon, especially since you don't know my age either, so if we can avoid responses like that, it's all the better, thank you.
    If there are any people out there who are in my shoes (Nokia N95 brown, just to clarify), please be sure to respond.

    Translation: "If there are any of you who are in my situation, thank you for responding" and yes, I can write in different ways, pff.

    Hello everyone!

    I have a "standard" brown SFR Nokia N95 from January 2009.
    I couldn't update it because I had the firmware "SFR v 30.0.015".
    I had to do a "debranding" which was quite simple to do... for me (and it took 30 minutes).
    I can now update my phone normally and I've moved to version v 31.0.017 and my phone no longer has any SFR applications or logos (before when I turned it off, the SFR 3G+ image would display and it doesn't anymore).

    I recommend doing it ;)
    (but be careful, if you have doubts, don't do it)

    For info on "debranding":

    See you!
