Nokia :: 5800 - Accelerometer Stopped Working After Installing Skype?
Jun 15, 2010
I have a 5800 which I have been using without issue for 6 months or so. Several days ago, I decided to install the Skype app, for whatever reason. However, once I did this, several problems suddenly sprang up.
First, when I receive a text message to my phone, nothing happens to notify me of this. Most of the time the little envelope in the corner shows up, but not always. No sound or vibration, however, no matter what profile I have it set on. The phone still rings when I receive a call, and for alarms, but not for text messages.
Second, my accelerometer seems to have stopped working. I DID get it to work once, and the phone flipped to landscape view, but then wouldn't flip back.
I've since uninstalled skype, deleted the install file, turned the phone on and off, took the battery out and put it back in, played with all the settings, etc., and no dice.
Why does my phone lag really badly after I updated to v50 from v40 using Ovi Suite (via USB)? The kinetic scrolling is really unresponsive now and I also get system errors when I tried to install Skype for Symbian phones.I thought software updates were meant to improve the phone?I am sure I'm not the only person encountering this problem. Will there be a fix soon Nokia?
So yesterday my accelerometer completely stopped working. I even factory reset the phone to try and fix it. The thing that fixed it was dropping my phone on the carpet from a small height. Keep in mind that I went through a whole 8 hour work day constantly moving around, setting my phone on the desk, and setting it up in my car mount.
None of that was enough to cause enough shock to make it work. Also, my volume rocker bent in the middle from it resting against the arm of my office chair.
I made a video of the issues: URL....Skip to 1:05 for the volume rocker and 2:15 for the auto rotate issue.
When I start my phone the accelerometer does not work, if i push the app button the menu stays over there, if i start the phone and push the button in landscape mode the menu stays there and if i push in portrait mode it stays there forever, but the car game works fine, I had this problem with Nokia 5800 that I sold and now I have the same problem with 5800 Navigation Edition. Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition Firmware: 31.2.101 RM-428 TomTom Go 720 Ohio, USA.
I've found this really useful since getting my new 5800 XPressMusic last week.However this morning I received a acknowledgement reply from Nokia support into my gmail account - but nothing was announced on the phone.Tried "Send & Receive" but that hasn't worked either.Was working fine last week.Any ideas please ? Maybe related to some app downloading at the weekend? Just sent a 2nd test message to gmail - again not appeared on phone.
My Iplayer has stopped working , it fires up but when I clik to play nothing happens or it pops up a script error.I'm on v4 firmware and had no issues with it until the last week .
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but with no success . I haven't installed any new apps recently .
I've had my Nokia 5800 for a year now, and recently my camera has just stopped working. I press the camera button on the side and it doesn't load, and even going via menu>applications>camera doesn't work.
However, after pressing the camera button and going via the menu, the green circle shows that camera is open even though it isn't.Sometimes when i turn it off and on again, it will take on photo then stop working.Does anybody know what I can do?
Right I've had my 5800 a while now and about a month ago the Bluetooth just stopped working randomly out of no where. The problem is that when I try to turn it on it says 'unable to perform Bluetooth operation'.
I have recently updated my N97 to software version 22.0.110 but now I cannot install Skype. When I get to the Skype page, it tells me that Skype is not available for my device. Can anyone help on how best I can resolve this or assist me with links to any other chat application that integrates Skype clients. Before the update I had Skype but since the update it has failed. I have reset to factory settings several times but nothing is happening.
Skype is failing to install on Nokia N82. Recently Skype was not available in Nokia Store but now it is available but it is not installing. See attached.
I not sure when did it start but I just found out this morning it's not responding if I rotate my phone. I already checked the settings and it is enabled.
I've got a Bold 9650, and the internet stopped working after I installed the pre-loaded Pandora application. After several minutes of the bar "requesting" the message comes up stating " A communication failure occurred with the selected Mobile Data Service. The server may be busy, please try again later. If the problem persists contact your administrator." I have tried hard resets, taking out battery, and to delete Pandora.
I was wondering when I am watching Videos on N900 with the accelerometer that it has why does it not rotate the Video from Landscape to Portrait Mode.I hope it does ! is it not doing it right now, because of the lack of portrait mode in it ?
I have had Fring installed on my mobile for some time. I used it as a means to log on to my company Skype account and chat with my colleagues - or log in to my private account and chat with my friends. Yesterday I looked and I couldnīt find Skype anymore, only MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ and those, no Skype.Is that just a temporary issue that might be solved by upgrading or has Skype stopped collaboration with Fring or something?

My N900 can connect to the internet (I can search in goodle or download and install packages with no issues) but it cannot connect to Skype account. Error message: Authentication failed. It was connecting to Skype just fine before the update. I tried to re-enter the password, of course. I do not want to delete the Skype account and create a new one just yet: I have all my contacts set up already and I am afraid I will loose those merges between Skype and the phone's address book if I delete the existing Skype account. Maybe anyone has any suggestions on what can I try first?
I am trying to install Skype on my Atrix 4G without luck. I am US military stationed in the UAE, and the freedom police here have determined that people who live here should not be able to use Skype. We all get around this by using VPNs, but it doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Using the VPN on my router and the home wireless network, I got all the way to the download skype for Android button. When I tried to select my phone as the intended device, I got a message that said this country doesn't allow Skype, and it would not install. just push a button on the phone and do Skype to Skype, or even Skype to telephone with my family back in the US instead of firing up the computer. Can I perhaps download to my computer then use a cable to install on the phone?
So my accelerometer on my brand new LG G3 stopped working a few weeks ago, I thought I could live with it but its a real nuisance now. I've gone through numerous posts on various Android forums but to no prevail; I've tried recalibrating the motion sensor but each time I try to my settings app crashes...? I've also tried various apps including spirit level apps which have a sensor reset option but it can't detect an accelerometer at all! Oh and I have turned auto-rotate on and off hundreds of times, as well as turning my phone on and off. I really don't want to do a factory reset....
nothing happens when I rotate my phone sideways in safari, calculator, or the keyboard. I have checked and nothing is locked in landscape mode. Also apps that require shaking do not seem to work. Sounds like a dead accelerometer - taking it back to the apple store tomorrow but will I get a replacement? Will I have to wait 3 weeks or whatever? I just got this phone 2 days ago.
I am having some weird problem with Nokia E5. I got this phone with *supposedly* pre-installed skype ver 1.5(16) that I cannot find anywhere even in App Manager.
When I try to update to a later version it reports it will upgrade the existing version but the installation halts. "Unable to Install!"
How can I get rid of the existing *ghost* version is there anyway I can do that?
I'm comparing to my 5530, On the contacts bar it nicely blends into the back ground, on the 5800 is a dirty oversized white block with the contact in the middle, no blending in or anything, same on the email, a horrible big white square, nothing blended in, I've tried different themes, and reflashed but no good.
Does anyone else have a problem where their photos app will not utilize the accelerometer; I thought this was a function of iOS 4?I can't rotate the galleries and even when playing a video that I recorded on the phone, It won't rotate to landscape.
Got my Z5 at the weekend and it appears the accelerometer isn't working properly. Ran diagnostics and it just runs left to right. auto rotate does not work as a consequence.
Having issues with E72 accelerometer since the latest firmware update. Turning the phone no longer silences a call or alarm since I updated although both options are ticked in the settings.
On thursday I bought a brand new Elm. Everything seemed to work ok until i have tested the implemented facebook application it automatically checked all the profile in a rush from start to the end (normally it goes profile by profile automatically, but if you tilt the phone left or right it goes one profile left or right). I went to the service menu and i saw the coordinates are not zero when the phone is standing on the edge... i tried to tilt the phone in such way to find the "zero" and I did, but in that case the phone must be tilted a bit backwards and on the diagonal edge of the phone. I also used the SE "Water Level" app and it showed the same result, mine accelerometer is NOT working properly. I searched some pages if there is any way to calibrate it, but found nothing. Does anybody knows if it's possible to calibrate it ? Otherwise I will have to take the phone back to the store.
My 5800XM has stopped connecting to the internet.If I go to, say the Ovi Store, I get the frot page, but instead of going to the Store, it returns to the previous screen. The same happens with other websites, too. The phone usually asks how I wish to connect - WAP, wireless network and so on, but it is no longer doing so. I do hope I have just inadvertently changed a setting or something, as I have just got my phone back from being repaired, which took nearly 3 weeks.
These many days nokia people worked on BELLE.. Now they released some buggy OS. SKYPE is not at all working.. Once I clicked on Sign-in button, it is getting closed automatically..
People are very angry on nokia, don't test customers.. You are giving that much good mobiles and you people are not able to provide gud operating system for those mobiles.
My traffic updates have stopped working and I don't know why. They were updating fine until about 4 days ago, and now everytime I click on update traffic info, it does the check, and no traffic info comes through. I'm from the UK, using the 5800 XpressMusic with the latest Ovi Maps App.
I bought a Nokia XM 5800 almost 2 months ago, and its been great, except for it has recently stopped telling me that I have recieved a text. Previously it made a sound, and vibrated and gave me a little envelope in the corner, but now it does none of these and I have to check my inbox to see if I have any new messages. I have tried using the code to reset my phone settings and that failed. I have also tried turning my phone off, taking the battery out etc and these all had no effect. If you can help please tell me.
I recently buy new c7 & I install fring. App is running well I can use message but when I make call everytime my phone is going to hang even nimbuzz & skype is not working.
