Ok, I tested this, but you do not need to use # to switch. As soon as you have 2 lines incoming (one active and one on hold), the right softkey gets the label “swap”. 1 keypress to swap…

Oh and for the original topic: my phone DOES switch between the profiles!

Interesting… will have to test this…

Will revert later.

To summarise then. Maybe if the sim card can handle 2 lines the # key gets used for this function - even if you don’t have 2 lines enabled.

UK T-Mobile user. My # key doesn’t switch between the first 2 profiles either.

BUT, I read the quick start guide (noob) and it says that the # key will switch between lines if you have 2 phone lines on your sim. I don’t but maybe the sim causing this issue. Seems like all T-Mobile users don’t have this function. My friends with Vodafone contracts can switch profiles fine with the # key.

Geoff, good question, I will put it in a post in order to have it separated from this post, as it is another topic.

I have an issue getting the maps/gps to work. When I first tried I had wrongly put in the 2G card, rectified that next day. I see the world map spin around and then progressive descend thro country to state to roughly where my city is and keep going to yellow screen and no map detail. Have tried to vary scale but I can’t get to see map detail. I have the data transfer sign. I have satellite reception. Can anyone help as I an anxious to get to the map part..tks in advance

I’m on O2 and it doesn’t work, even when held down. I have created an addition al profile though, perhaps that’s the difference.

It sounds like those of us in the UK (self-included) have had mixed results. T-Mobile owners find it doesn’t work, O2 (possibly others) find it does work.

Sounds like an operator-created bug. That is, when T-Mobile put their customised software on the phone (i.e. “web n walk” links), they must have turned off the mode switching. Whether this will be fixed in a future firmware upgrade remains to be seen…

Hi andykn,

This functionality should work by holding down the # key.

I have an N95 on O2 from the Carphone Warehouse in the UK, but it has a different Operator Variant to Dan;

V 10.0.018
15-03-07
RM-159
Nokia N95 (66.01)

The # key doesn’t switch between profiles on mine. Do you press it once or hold it down?
