The software in question just hung at the completion screen, hanging the entire phone in the process, I had to hard reset the phone (by removing the battery) to get it to work again.

However my problems did not end there and the Nokia N95 phone kept on rebooting as soon as it showed me the welcome screen, the only way to shut it down, was to hard reset it again. This reboot however went on continuously even though I hard reset it several times and tried several others ways like taking off the SIM card, adding a new SIM card and so on.

The only way I believed I could get the phone to start working was to do a factory reset, however since I could not login into the phone, I could not use the conventional method to reset the phone.

Luckily for me, I found a way to factory reset the phone while rebooting it and that saved the day for me, just decided to write a post about it so that as finding the information was literally very hard for me itself.

Steps to Factory Reset Nokia N95 or Other Smartphones While Rebooting

Step 1: Before you reboot the phone, press the dial key (green key), the number 3 button and * button all at once. It is important to press all the 3 keys simultaneously before you reboot the phone.

Step 2: Reboot your phone.

Step 3: If you do not see the option to enter your country or other factory reset screens, repeat steps 1 and 2.

Please remember that you will lose the information stored on your phone memory, when you factory reset your phone. If you are not ready to lose this information, please take the phone to a authorized Nokia dealer for rectification, on the hindsight always keep a backup of your phone, using the Nokia PC suite, you can also backup and sync you mobile contacts, calendar entries, etc to avoid inconvenience, alternatively you can also use Microsoft Phone Data Manager to backup your phone.

Pandora does have support to play music on cellphones, but currently it does not support any Nokia phones. To my joy, I came across a really handy Nokia application called Mobbler which allows users to play Last.fm radio stations on Nokia S60 3rd edition based phones.

Mobbler, Mobile Scrobbler, is a last.fm radio player and scrobbler for Nokia S60 3rd edition smartphones. It allows you to listen to your last.fm radio stations and to scrobble tracks played using the Nokia S60 Music Player. Music player scrobbling can be done both whilst you listen, or queued offline to be submitted later.

Once you download and install Mobbler, you will have to provide your last.fm username and password, before you can create new radio stations and start listening to music. Just like the online player you can easily favorite a song, ban it from playing again, search for the song on Amazon or skip and play the next track.

The quality of the music streaming is pretty good even both on a WiFi network and even when I used the application on a 3G connection. Overall a must have for music lovers who love last.fm and would like to listen to music on the go.

Screenshot for Symbian OS, is probably one of the best applications I have ever come across, making it easier to take screenshots from any Nokia smartphones that run on Symbian OS.

Screenshot for Symbian OS is a FREE program to take screenshot on your Symbian OS mobile phones (UIQ or S60). You can capture screenshot and save it to a file in JPEG, PNG, BMP or MBM format. The screenshot can be sent directly to a PC via Bluetooth or infrared and another mobile phone. Furthermore, you can customize the shortcut key, file name and delay of capturing. It supports continuous mode that allows you to capture screenshot every a few seconds.

I have been using this application for quite sometime now and must that it is definitely a must have application for any Nokia Smartphone user.

The application is absolutely free to use and also provides the source code.
