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.

foreigneRS

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! )

foreigneRS

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?

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

Jim Galbally

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?

Jim Galbally

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

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

Iain Mac

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?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

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

foreigneRS

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

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

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

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

do you have 6.02?

if yes,

msn me later and i will help you

Lee_R21Turbo

iTrader: (1)

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.

foreigneRS

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