I only discovered a few days ago (thanks to this blog) that my N95 had an accelerometer in it. I tell ya I was on a high all day! Since then I’ve found an assortment of little apps to show off this little nifty feature! If you’re like me and behind on the news, an accelerometer is a little chip inside the phone (similar to the iPhone & Nintendo Wii) that allows you to control apps via movement of the N95. Nokia put it in there so that it could determine whether a photo was taken in Landscape or Portrait. I’m actually suprised that they didn’t develop and market this feature in the release of the N95.

NOTE: All these apps are suitable for the N95 and the N95 8Gb.

NOTE 2: Some of these apps need signing. Follow this great guide to sign your own apps.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE N95 ACCELEROMETER PLUGIN FIRST! Click Here to get it!

rotateMe v2.0 as mentioned on this site allows you to rotate the screen with the tilt movement of the phone. Just like the iPhone you can rotate your screen into landscape to view photos full screen.

Nokmote (from the same developer as rotateME) allows you to make selections on your N95 with hand gestures. Replaces your directional pad in every application including games. Change song selections with a shake just like the SE W910. Also available at Nokia MOSH

Moving Ball is a little app which I think was designed by the Nokia crew to demonstrate the accelerometer in the N95.

Light Saber - Turn your N95 into a Light Sabre. Makes the genuine sounds according to the movement of your phone. Includes impact sounds as well. Fight as a Jedi (Green) or on the Dark Side (Red). 5/5 for fun!

Inclinometer gives you a visual of the angle your phone is on. Is designed so you can see the angle of your car when 4-Wheel driving. *This version lacks calibration to compensate for holding the phone upright or mounting in phone holder*

Accelerinvaders is Space Invaders on your phone controlled by the accelerometer. This is the latest version which allows you to put the phone into landscape and play, as well as using phone vibration to enhance gaming experience.

**Note**
This software is somewhat restricted at this point in time. It only allows you to do a search for a single word.
Multiple keywords are not supported. That seriously restricts its usefulness. As a novelty app however its fine.

Wow! Software developer Samir has just released a Beta version of full youtube player. Although this is in beta, it really shows us a glimpse of things to come. Download the youtube player YTPlayer. Please note that it is still in beta!

Please note that you will need to install Adobe flash lite player 3. This version of flash lite is also only a developer edition and is not intended as replacement for the current flash player provided with the phone.

The file is in .swf format and it should be run from with in Adobe flash lite 3 and make sure you copy the file to either c:/data/other or e:/other

My 6110 Navigator randomly loses the ability to play any sound. This happens on the loudspeaker, handset speaker and even bluetooth audio devices. One time the white screen with blue Nokia logo appeared when this happened but I was lucky to see this because I was using the navigation application at the time, the application dropped out and the phone restarted by itself without sound. When the sound fails the vibration still works and the phone returns to normal operation when re-booted.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Is there a logging or diagnostic tool available for this phone?

There is no software update available on the Nokia update site.

**Note**
Requires registration with Adobe, they give a form to fill in etc.
I haven’t given it a try yet but posted this so those of you with an account
can jump right into it.

Great news (well, at least for me): Developers can now download the Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition for supported handsets via Adobe Labs. You can get all of the information on the site. I successfully installed this version on my N95 (latest firmware) and am testing it at the moment. You might want to give it a try and see for yourself.

There is a new theme available from Pizero. If you don’t know about Pizero, then let me tell you she makes the best theme (in my opinion at least) for S60 phones. This one’s graphics is in SVG format and should easily fit any screensize or orientation. You can download themes with default icons or with the customized icons shown on the side.

You can download the theme from pizero’s site.

**Note**
Turns out this is a web enabled version of messenger. Not a stand alone app.
Still may be useful for some people though.

Received an email to my hotmail account today.
The direct link inside the email was broken, however this one http://mobilecentral.ninemsn.com.au/msggo.aspx took
me to a page where I could use MSN messenger for my N95.

Depending on the N95 browser you are using the image on that first screen may not display correctly.
I zoomed out to 50% and entered my phone number that way.
(You can also enter this address into your desktop browser on your pc which should eliminate any viewing problems)

The sms I received provided me with this link http://m.ninemsn.com.au/msg/?pn=xxxxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxxxx was my phone number. So manually entering that may also work.
You may also need a windows live id or hotmail address to download this application.

Anyone without MSN Messenger already on their phone want to give it a try and report back if it works?
It may be just restricted to mobiles on the aussie phone network. See if it works for you.
