just to let you all know, the latest n95 firmware has the auto rotate (to rotate the screen from landscape to portrate by just moving the phone) already built in. so no more messing around trying to get rotate me signed.

 

have to look at that, nice one

 

How do i sort that to my phone ( bear in mind i am a computer pleb and semi retarded! )

 

you need to first download the nokia software updater. then plug your n95 in with the usb cable and run that program and it will update your firmware. make sure you use the nokia pc suite to make a backup first, and the battery should be fully charged (or plugged in to a mains charger)

i updated mine a week or so ago, and this tilt feature is not on there. just checked again, and it says it's still the latest firmware, so why doesn't it work on mine? is it 8gb models only?

 

As above i have version 21 but no rotate me ?

 

just downloading v20 on my O2 n95 8gb, will let you know if it has rotateme, 111mb update though :O

 

well just updated mine,

restored back to how it was 2 mins before update,

enabled rotate me from the menu, and it works a fooking treat..

HOW FOOKING COOL

 

this must be 8gb only? i'm up to date on mine and no auto rotating

 

nick, the firmwares can also be operator specific. if you debrand the phone you should always see the latest firmwares

 

What's the easiest and cheapest way to debrand a N95?

 

its free, just google it. you'll need some software and you do it via the USB lead

 

dont know if it works on the old n95 mine is the 8gb but after installing the latest firmware go into settings, general, personalisation,display,then there should be rotate screen. switch this to automatic. job done. i have been waiting for this for ages but could not get rotate me signed. well happy now

 

mine was never branded jim

rotate screen is not in that menu on my old one

 

i have the 8 gig version and just tried it ,, i never noticed before,,, doh

 

Updated my N95....and there it was!!! Feeling more like an iPhone everyday......well ish!!! LOL!

 

another tip for people.i know its prob old but last week i managed to install garmin mobile onto my n95 and garmin uses the internal gps reciever of the phone so no external reciever required.just start and nav

 

where did you get that from? wouldnt mind something like that for mine as a back up

 

Sweet got it, any other updates on there other than this? As cant find any lol.

 

i just found the torrent for it.add me to msn ill send u the link bamaran@hotmail.com

btw ive just downloaded latest firmware on my normal n95,now version 21.0.016 but no rotate feature.was getting excited there but it must be for 8gb versions only :-(

 

If you've got TomTom v6.02 then you can download a little util for it to use the internal GPS on the N95.

 

link or title please mate

 

Will add you to MSN mate!

 

and me now.... HOW FOOKING COOL

 

cheers.damn restore hasnt put back tomtom back onto phone.gonna have to download n install again

 

it's there, in apps dude, just click it

or via file manager

 

Any other nice utils and features for this phone ?

I've had mine for a few weeks now and it doesnt feel that much different to my old N93.

 

i just managed to get tom tom working useing the n95's internal gps. how cool's that!!!

 

yeah james ive tried that with help from lee.no joy though,it just doesnt pick up any satelittes.oh well at least its back on,.phones upto date,lost some contacts though.have tomtom again and garmin works with internal gps.

shame i cant get the autorotate thing.everytime i try downloading it and installing it says certificate error contact supplier.think ill give up on that lol

cheers lee for help though

 

Woohoo i got Tom Tom now too. Thanks Spiky

 

where did you get it from? did the update earlier and my auto rotate works now, anyone know what else the update changed

 

Hiya fella. I added you to my msn. Would you mind sending it to me when your online please? Would be very appreciated

 

yeah ben added u.thats no problem

 

cool will add some people to msn this week as could really do with this on mine!!

cheers people

 

When you put Garmin or TomTom on, does that allow voice-guided Sat Nav without having to pay Nokia (or anyone else)?

Does it work as well or better than Nokia Maps Sat-Nav?

If yes to both, how do I get one of them?

 

garmin uses the internal gps as std,

tomtom needs tweaks, and is fooking great, and once installed is free foreever

i even have gb maps and western europe

though garmin is crap,

tomtom is ace

 

my tomtom works, but only with external bluetooth receiver. couldn't get the application to use the internal one to work. have to try again at some point

 

to get it to use internal

install 6.02
then remove

then install bt, then gpsd, then tomtom.sis.

it then uses the internal

got westy's working last night

 

do you have 6.02?

if yes,

msn me later and i will help you

 

Dont need to install 6.02 first - just as long as its been copied to the memory card - tomtom.sis installs TomTom when you run it.

 

thanks for the advice chaps, i'll look at it later
