I was also getting a warning about a near full memory card when starting the phone but I didn't much care because all I have on there is music to play, and the odd photo I have taken

So I assume the phone wants to use the storage card for various other things aswell and its not just for me to store music

it is definitly in need of quite a few fixes

All devices need fixes even stable ones. Not all the bugs affect everyone. The main thing is all major functions of N95 are working at a acceptable standard (i.e not crashing left and right or in need of "restart to improve performance").

Even if you ran out of RAM (when multi-task), the phone dont crash or require restart. And low on RAM is not a bug but a design flaw. btw: have you notice that N95 dont slow down even if you are low on RAM like some previous symbian?

If you dont consider this problem free, I dont know what is. Even some "successful" non-smartphone have more problems.

I don't disagree at all, this is definitly more stable than my M600 and P990 were when first bought, but given the number of issues I think its a bit much to claim a successful launch.

I've had 3 restarts now when I was in the middle of doing something and the GPS definitly has issues, especially as I mentioned before, when trying to plan a route starting at the "GPS location"

I expect that most of these will be cleared up quickly and in the meantime, as you say, most of the major functions seem to be mostly working

btw, I must have scanned 20 bar codes and not one has worked yet. not even sure why I would want to do that anyway but its there and so I just have to give it a go!

Currently I am playing with the 3d tones...

Maybe I'll give the original nokia "Map" a try. First I have to download maps which takes time. I currently used the bundled Asia Maps which is a 3rd party nav (by a company called Agis) without any problem.

Just a quick question for those who have used 3rd Edition. on N95, in main menu, you'll see a small blue circle above the folder icon if folder has active app opened. Is this a new thing?

@Mib 1800,

Don't get me wrong i am not saying having GPS in the device is a bad thing at all, but to it being better than having to carry additional devices have you seen how small the Holox BT-321 is? It is hardly a problem and does mean it can be placed in a better location in car IMO along with the fact it is more powerful and therefore works better and as i have said is just my preference that's all.

@Masseur,

Exactly what type of Bar codes are you trying to read? as in my experience and at least with my N93 it is meant to be used with QR type of codes here are a couple of links for you to check out.

Where you can learn more and even create your own hope you enjoy them.

I've tried all sorts... books, cd's, dvd's, even the ones on the N95 box!

I've also tried a few online bar code generating sites

it just doesn't work

@dogmann

Understand your point. If some1 really need use car nav alot, then maybe it is better to buy a separate gps. (putting the n95 on dash may not be so practical).

@masseur

I can't get barcode to work either. Maybe it needs brighter condition for the camera to lock on the code.

Hi Masseur and Mib 1800,

Here are 2 codes that i have generated that should definitely work, open the Bar Code app and keep it in still on the image whilst it scans. After this it will display the message and you will have the option to either save or delete. If you can't read these then there is definitely a problem with your app in the N95.






Hope it worked

Marc
