mine hasn't switched off once(touch wood) and im running the latest unbranded FW, try this if you aren't already. And to conserve battery life turn to 2g only and leave BT and wi-fi off when not using them.

Hope this helps
Alex.

The slider is really solid and so is the construction of the phone. There is no squeeking or anything when squeezed. I head about the slider being loose. Its fine on mine. Its just the software.

In my mind. Nokia tried to put everything in one thing and ended up F'ing up the device

Thanks for that A L 3 X. But the wi fi is never on, only when Im in a cafe and I may wanna browse the web for 5 mins which is very rare.

Then again the battery is proberly dead by then!

@KingBooker5

As batesie and others have said either return to where you bought it or take it your friendly Nokia Service centre because i have suffered none of the problems you have described in all the time i have had mine. I listen to Music for approximately 3hrs a day. Surf the Web over WiFi and watch Videos or a film whilst in bed plus it is collecting e-mails from 2 accounts with automatic retrievals and one with manual retrieval.

I have had no sudden shutdowns and the only freeze i had was when i was using a iPhone theme that N95 seemed not to like. If you don't want to to return you do have two other options either do a reset which is

*#7370# Full Factory Reset which will erase everything on the phone or
*#7780# Restore Factory Settings which will leave your personal data intact.

There are also other factors that could be causing your problems such as where you have installed your programs and themes and also just what you have installed on your device.

But think about it logically if the rest of us that are using the N95 where having the same experience as you do you think we would all be saying how much we like the device? and still using it?

If the above actions don't solve the problems you are having just return it as obviously something is very wrong with it.

there are always bad apples amongst good ones, if you got the bad one it doesn't mean suddenly nokia is a joke. not only are you misguiding people who probably want the phone, you're also dissing a company whose 1 phone you've used in 5 years. Great job!

You know what? I think this is what people should actually acknowledge.

I don't think there is one manufacturer that would actually admit that any one of their offerings are completely flawless.

From what I have read on here, people have differing experiences with each and every phone and I am a firm believer that the more 'complex' a device is, the more this is to be expected.

To put it bluntly though, if you're not happy take it back and get a replacement. If you're still not happy, then choose wisely next time.

I have 4 friends who bought N95 and all are reporting about the same battery life as me that is 1-2 days with heavy to moderate use.

KingBooker: most likely you got a dud set. I dont think N95 would still be selling so well if it can only last a few hours standby without any usage. It would be a fiasco as Nokia will be swamped with returns and operators dropping the N95 like flies.

Your rant sounds bitter with no logic at all. Strange that it didnt even cross your mind that you may have a dud set/battery. Most rational person would have.

Do the smart thing and exchange your set.

I realised that the n95 actually gets better with age lol when i got it if i tried opening more than four apps it would reboot yet just yesterday an hour after someone used my phone i realised it was working bit slower and was shocked to find it had several powerfull apps open including two games PGR and ducati 3d and apps like opera mini,divx player,web browser,log,file transfer,radio,live pvr...and during that hour i used my phone to make couple calls and send an sms yet it never froze or reboot.i never thought it possible when i first got my phone.also the battery needed to be charged twice daily for the first two weeks but now it last bout four times as long so it'll happily go through two days.and i haven't turned of my 3g reception but wifi is of.
