Best Tips and tricks for Nokia N95

I have created a list of N95 Best tips and tricks for this phone after being disappointed with other Internet articles on customising your N95. If you have any other tips i haven't mentioned let me know and I'll add them to the list. I hope you enjoy this N95 Blog and find them useful. First if you want to get the best from your phone READ THE HANDBOOK! The N95 is a Symbian 60 phone like the N73, N80 and N70 before it and so some of the tips are based on ideas from these phones.Some of the tips will also work for Nokia Symbian 60 phones like N90, N91, E61 and the E70. I have used Freeware applications for the N95 and avoided shareware although there is a lot out there. THIS PAGE HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED. TO VIEW THE NEW PAGES GO HERE I will be updating this blog continuously if you have some questions about N95 you can email me at n95questions@yahoo.co.uk this will avoid making the comments section of this blog really long and allow a more detailed messagesI have created two N95 icons for your computer, A Silver and Black version. They are both in 3 formats XP/Vista/Mac. download Silver download BlackI have created this Star wars theme, To download the theme and see the tutorial on how to make it click here Top Tips 1.Get Rid of your operator logo easily! All networks make it difficult to remove the operator logo from the Inactive background screen. It is possible to remove it using S60 freeware FExplorer but its a real pain and quite frankly unnecessary, the easiest way is to download a blank logo from a website like http://www.free-ringtones-free-logos.com/ its not free but only costs the price of text and lets face it most of us with N95 will have plenty of free texts. Type in blank logo in the search box on the left of the web page and follow the instructions, When the blank is sent to you save it and your logo will disappear. This works for all Nokias from 6230i to N95. I have found that i have to sent texts to both numbers shown on the page, which seems to be a ploy to get u to send 2 texts, but its by far the easiest way to remove the logo. 2. Themes There are three basic ways to get more and better themes for your N95. A) You can download free themes from websites like Mobile9 Zedge Symbian themes Rannat BabiNokia Mmc Forums B) You can create your own themes free online with Ownskin.com Its completely free and makes creating themes pretty easy, you can upload your picture, change the colours of the text and battery bars etc. under the advanced options. It creates a .sis file which you can send to your phone via cable etc. You can also share your theme with other users. Its an easy way to make themes, and well worth trying, though i do find it a bit basic C) I have made a tutorial for creating themes with the Nokia carbide theme program, which deals with creating transparent navi panes, and handle key pair certificates. To view the tutorial click here. Well the best way make your own themes is with Nokia's free software. Its not the easiest program to use but once you have mastered it its pretty simple, my advise is start with the default theme and just alter the active /inactive background. Use the Nokia PC suite to transfer the .sis file to your phone
