Nokia N95 Tips & Tricks

The Nokia N95 is a sophisticated smartphone released in 2007. Along with the standard features found on most mobile phones, the N95 has many additional storage, connectivity and security features. Most of these extra features are easy to use and take only a few minutes to set up.


Memory Card


The N95 supports several different types of applications, many of which create or open files that take up a large amount of the phone's built-in memory. To compensate for the phone's limited memory, the phone includes support for microSD memory cards.


The memory card slot is located on the left side of the phone. Open the memory card slot cover by lifting up on the cover, sliding it to the right and pulling out. Slide the microSD card into the slot with the contacts facing up and in. The card will click when it is secure. You can now save additional files created by the phone on the extra memory provided by the microSD card.


Faster Downloading


You can increase the speed of downloaded content on your N95 by activating its High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) support. When HSDPA is enabled, email messages and browser pages will download to your phone at a much faster speed.


Note that the speed of uploaded content, such as an email message you are sending, will not be as fast as the prevailing HSDPA download speed. Once this high-speed link is enabled you can use the browser on the N95 as normal.


To turn on HSDPA, press the action button located to the left of the navigation buttons and select "Tools" and then "Settings."


Choose "Connection" and press the square button in the middle of the navigation buttons. Highlight "Packet Data Connection" and press the square button.


Finally, highlight "High-speed Packet Acc." and press the square button a third time.


Keypad Lock


As with most mobile phones, the N95 is susceptible to inadvertent button pressing when it is placed in your pocket or in a bag. The N95 has a keypad lock that will keep this from happening.


To lock the keypad, close the phone and press the left soft key and then the right soft key. Check the phone's manual to identify these soft keys. Use the same button combination to unlock the phone or slide the phone open to unlock it.


The N95 also has an automatic locking function. To set the automatic keypad lock, press the action button to the left of the navigation buttons and choose "Tools," then "Settings," and then "General." From there, choose "Security" and then "Phone and SIM Card."


Highlight "Keypad Autolock Period" and press the square button to enable the automatic keypad lock. The keypad will lock when the phone is closed or after the phone is idle for a short period of time.
