Oct 16, 2009 - Hi there, i saw the video a couple of time and read also all the comments since i have to do this also on my phone :( can you please tell me one more time what tape and what glue is the best to use? can be normal scotch (tesafilm) used? thank you!

Oct 16, 2009 - Hi! I use no glue in this video, except the glue on the backside of the tape, hence the name: tape. Scotch (tesafilm), if you measure the thickness of the tape I can compare it to the one I used in the video. =)

Oct 16, 2009 - I found on the net a tutorial which was explaining how to unscrew the metal rail hold by the 3 screws, then bending just a lil bit the corners of it to the inside, making the angle smaller. What do you think about this? i tried to post here the link but it's not showing up :(

Kallenator1988 Says:

Oct 16, 2009 - You can't post links in comments ;) That actually sounds like a good idea, but I am not sure how the brittle plastic will take that treatment.

Oct 16, 2009 - ah... search on google the followings "Slider beim Nokia N95 8GB spielfrei einstellen" should be the first result. Somewhere on another page the guy is stating that it works for over a year since he done that. Also stating first to bend only one corner, since this will reduce all the other a lil bit and only if it's necessary to proceed with the other one. And he is saying also that the slider is after a lil bit more tight.

Oct 16, 2009 - Ah, seems like a read completely wrong, bending the metal rail as far as I can see is an excellent idea! Why did not I think of that? ^_^ Id say give it a try! ;)

Oct 16, 2009 - the author is presenting this as an alternative of minimizing the gap, instead of filling it in. I will try it also but first i have to find a torx 5. Thank you for your time and please let us know if you make also any new findings. Have a great week-end! Ps. I cannot believe it that Nokia was selling the N95 8GB like this, after they saw the same issue on the simple N95. I'm somehow very dissapointed and after more then 10 years of nokia usuage i will try to find an alternative next time.

Oct 16, 2009 - You too ;) Well, they do cover it for free via the guarantee if you send it to a Nokia service center so it's not all bad, but I agree that it's still pretty lame.

Oct 17, 2009 - SO.... i went today and bought a TORX 5. Opened the case, unscrewed the 3, then took the metal bar out from the right side. I bend the upper part a lil bit, put it back and apparently although it seems like loose, it was not after putting the 3 screws back. I tried also to bend the lover part, but then the slider becomes really to tight, so actually the CONCLUSION is it's enough only on the upper corner. Carefully when bending, not to break it ;) It needs just a lil bit, 1-1.5mm max.

Oct 17, 2009 - I'm glad it worked so easy, but for NOKIA, i do think they lost a couple of customers, including myself. Next time i#ll by a phone, i'll surely think twice about Nokia!!!!

Oct 20, 2009 - You would have to exchange the buttons with new ones. Would not recommend it though unless you really really hate it :p You might want to put your phone in a pouch or a small cloth bag of some sort, just to keep it looking newer for longer period of time. =)

Oct 25, 2009 - i need help too i just applied a housing kit on my n95 and im guessing somethings wrong with the antenna because i cant hear anything when i call other people but i can hear only when its on speaker.? any help or suggestions?

Kallenator1988 Says:

Oct 26, 2009 - If you only can hear people when you put the phone on the stereo speakers I suppose the main speaker is unconnected or damaged.

Nov 4, 2009 - lol,we english actually is not my first language. lol

Kallenator1988 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Well, I only assumed since you state Canada as your country. Although that might be a little trap language wise, because the official languages in Canada is both English and French. However, statistically it's a bigger chance of you speaking English since it's the most spoken language there, hence my guess =) That being said, you have troubles even constructing a sentence in English, so if you are going to judge/criticize me, tread lightly. ;) Have a nice weekend!
