As the title says.

Only thing I can think of is to flash the OS but not sure how to

I ordered a Nokia N86 8GB. The problem is, the seller told me the phone only has English, French, and Arabic. I obviously speak English, but I’ll be using this phone in Germany, so not having German T9 text input will make this thing impossible to use as my primary phone.

I know without a doubt that it’s possible to install additional languages on Symbian phones. I have already tried googling this, to no avail. If anyone knows how to install German on this thing, at bare minimum for T9 text input, I will be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I've just installed Asphalt 3 onto my E72 but whenever I try to play it, the game runs perfectly fine except for the screen being very glitchy, almost like it is repeating the same area of the screen over and over. I can't really find anything online on how to deal with this, so could I possibly have some assistance?

Hello folks...

The older pdf users manual I have for the N95-1 tells me that one of the wall power supplies I can use is model number ACP-12. When I look for this on ebay (I am in the UA), all I see are the ACP-12U models.

Is the ACP-12U just a newer version of the ACP-12? Will the ACP-12U correctly plug into my N95-1 phone?

Many thanks,

I shared some apps to my SE Satio using bluetooth, it shows up in the inbox, but i can't find it in the file manager, it ate up all my space in my c drive and i dunno what to do

Hi folks...

I have read about a CD that was issued with the manual for the N95-1. I was looking around in arive.org

I found a link to download the CD for the N95-1. As I understand it, one needs to run this CD under Windows XP, Windows ME, or Windows 7. I have not tried it, but you could right click on the download and then select Properties, then Compatibility if you are running Windows 10 or 11. If that works for you and it installs, you might do the above again if you are on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Here is the link if anyone is interested:

I have some old laptops laying around. So I am going to install Windows XP on one just for this CD download. I have no idea what is on the CD (maybe not much?) but it will be fun to see.

I'm looking for firmware 091.003 or 091.004 for RM-530 with Polish language. I saw on some old forums that the EURO3 version has polish language, but location this version feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Does anyone have this version of firmware? Or knows about a site with Nokia firmware where I could find this version? Thank you guys in advance!

EDIT: With the help of Dexter_X on chomikuj.pl, I got my hands on RM-530 091.003 Polish firmware! Link to it is right here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cvt1tL2QKKrKHodPE2PARjjHcBzOweL3/view . I'm also in the processes of uploading it to archive.org

Hi...

I tried to post two photos and a text message. But I was unable to post the photos and my message at the same time. My bad. So sorry.

I was offered a N95-1 for sale and one of the two photos shows the Nokia sticker that is under the battery. Does this sticker look real or fake to you? I am learning as fast as I can, but I still can not spot a fake N95 phone. The other photo shows what may be the symbian OS and some other information?? Can someone please tell me what the information displayed on this phone means?

Thanks, yet again, for all the help.

App is working again.

Hi...

Many of my posts here are about the N95 silver and not specifically about the Symbian OS. So I thought I may be posting in the wrong forum here on reddit. I found a r/Nokia forum. I posted a question about upgraded batteries and my post was instantly removed by the auto moderator!

Are my posts here on this forum re the N95 phone itself OK ? I am trying to follow the rules..

Hi folks... After yet more reading, I found a web site that said the maximum size for a micro SD card in the silver N95 is 32 GBs. I was going to buy a 32 GB micro SD card, but wanted to check here again.

Has anyone here been able to install a larger micro SD card above 32 GBs? If so, please let me know.

Many thanks,

Update: Please read my post after this message. I may have found a better battery.

I have been exchanging emails with a few Chinese N95 silver sellers & battery sellers on ebay. They are polite folks. I was asking if the battery for a N95 black is the same as the battery for a N95 silver. Things were lost in translations I am afraid.

I see some N95 black batteries that are 1,100 mAh. But it seems that for the N95 silver, the batteries may be all 950 mAh. Do I understand this correctly? I have yet to find a N95 silver phone for sale that I like, so I do not have a phone yet to check the original battery.

Can I buy a battery for a N95 silver that has more mAh than 950? And if so, can anyone post a link to one?

Many thanks,

Hi folks...

I found the users manual (I think it is the right one) for the silver N95 phone. But I could not see anything that told me the largest micro SD card that this phone can take. Can anyone advise me?

Many thanks,

Hi folks...

I am looking to buy a N95 silver soon. I wanted to update symbian to the latest version. As I understand it, most (all?) of the web sites to do this are no longer online. I saw a video on YouTube (US) that was made in 2024 and it shows how to update symbian on many diffrent older Nokia phones. I was wondering if anyone has used this site and if people here thought it is OK to use, virus free etc? Here is the link to the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtE_jcbv1aY

Also, I am having a hard time finding a nice Silver N95 on ebay. Usually the sellers (mostly in China) do not say which version of symbian is installed. Also, looking at the feedback of most of the sellers, someone will say the phone is fake. ??

I did notice that AIExpress sells kits to replace the front and back face-plate as well as all the buttons, and all the cables needed to plug the N95 into a computer. Has anyone here used AIExpress for Nokia parts - like replacement housing, etc.?

Many thanks,

I don't know if this is a good subreddit to post this question, if it isn't, sorry. Anyway, I used to own a Nokia 500 back in the day, and I know it came with a variation of prebundled songs, and mine had one sung by a woman, I'm pretty sure it had a catchy piano riff at the beginning, also I believe the cover art contained a sofa and the main colour was orange. If anyone knows the name of this song it would be aprecciated as I cannot find it anywhere. Also for some context, if I recall correctly the piano riff at the beginning sounded similar to Love song by Sara Bareilles or Saturday in the Park by Chicago and also the phone was purchased from Orange Spain.

My Nokia E5 RM-632 is experiencing a one-second freeze every 3 or 4 seconds. I’m thinking of reinstalling the firmware to see if that fixes it. I was able to find the firmware file, but not the software to flash it. Can anyone guide me through the process?
