I have a Nokia 5800. I just upgraded today to the last version of the phone and maps. I have installed the ovi suite. All latest versions. From the Ovi I got the maps of Germany. Going to the Maps application I can see the maps, zooming in, out... looking for a location.
I want to work offline so in the options i have chosen only "Integrated GSP" (No a-GPS). But the problem I'm having is that the phone doesn't connect via the GPS antenna, the satellite icon is crossed out, the first bar of the signal yellow blinking and if i want to make a route to any location it says "waiting for GPS". I've been searching in the forum but i couldn't go further this point. It seems as i have the satellite signal deactivated.
I am having trouble connecting my 5800 to my windows 7 laptop using the 5800 usb cable. It was working, now it doesn't recognise it. I have tried setting back to factory default and I have installed the latest firmware on the phone.
Can someone help.I have just updates all my phone software (5800 XPress Music) and Ovi Suite but now when I try to connect the device via USB cable it keeps saying "Not connected in PC Suite mode".The phone is saying this is the mode and I have tried resetting both the PC and taking battery out of phone.please can someone help?
My phone will connect to my WLAN at home for no apparent reason (as in I'm not using the any application which requires interweb) and when I get annoyed and disconnect from that because it is just EATING my battery it think "Jesus there's no internet connection" panics then connects via gprs or whatever. Now I turned off the email program because it is eating my battery constantly being connected and am having to charge it every night! But is there any way of making it so that it only connects when the program is open? Any thoughts?
I have the latest firmware installed on my phone and i also have the latest version of ovi maps installed.But it does not want to connect online.I have both free wap with o2 and also have wireless connections available at both home and work.but it will not connect, everytime i try it says there is a problem connection not working or something to that effect.i have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, but still it wont work.
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.
My 5800 xm will not connect to the internet via my netgear dg834gt router.The phone connects to the wifi connection but it will not load up a web page.It will work via 3g.I've been through the routers settings and the phones mac address is there and is set for access the same as my pc (which is working fine).
I was having trouble connecting my nokia 5800 as MTP device to my windows 7 machine. After reading some suggestions on the forum I removed my memory card and vola it recognized the nokia 5800 as MTP device installed all its drivers. I then used Latest OVI to sync music to my 5800.
After the sync when I try to refresh the music library, it just opens and the scanning window and closes it without adding any thing. Similarly if I try to set an image as the wallpaper when I click on image earlier it used to bring up the list of images on the memory card but now it is coming up blank. The firmware is V 4.0.
How the heck do I change the name from att to my name..The att logo next to the antenna.And yes I am a noob.Laugh it up.but I did get my phone unlock from att...hahahah....I hope every one has there phone unlocked.O and by the way My phone is a E71x and again my cell is unlocked...
Anyone know is it possible to connect an external antenna to the CK-100 Car Kit? and if so, is there a socket on the unit into which it can be plugged?
I've got a N97 mini and notice that I keep losing the signal. I can be sat there, the phone won't move and yet I'll go from 4 bars to virtually one/none at all. I had a similar problem with another N series and apparently it was to do with the internal antenna.......I'm sure its not the network as was on 3 before changing over to O2 and had same issues ! Also does anyone know if the CR 116 will fit the mini as well ?
I was testing the Ovi Maps and found that the horizontal screen (Landscape) is better to navigate than the vertical (Portrait) position What is intriguing me is that my 5230 only switch from portrait to Landscape when turned to the left, and in this case the GPS antenna would be located in lower place of the unit, not at the top, where it should be. Question: Wy 5230 do change the screen from portrait to Landscape only when switching to the left and not to the right? How I can make this to works correctly, so that the GPS antenna is looking to the sky and not to the floor in the landscape position?
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.
I just bought Nokia 5800 in America. I'm originally from the middle east and I need to write in Arabic when I chat or send messages. the problem here is that the phone reads Arabic but I can't write in Arabic. my question is "Could I use firmware of Nokia 5800 (RM-356) on Nokia 5800 (RM-428)?
If not, could anyone help me and get me the firmware that support writing in Arabic?
Yes, I know there are plenty of threads on this already, I just wanna do a quick straw poll to get a sense of whether this is a design or manufacturing/batch fault.I can replicate the left handed signal drop issue on the iPhone 4, and disabling 3g does help alleviate the issue. I'm in the UK on o2, so far no dropped calls, although I don't ever recall having dropped calls at all.Given how this seems to be a pretty hardware serious fault, I may march into the Apple store and DEMAND a free bumper in the interim.
I've had the iP4 since the launch day and yes I have seen the bars drop but haven't dropped a darn call yet. I'm on the phone for the better part of each day and I, like Mr. Jobs, see this as a NON ISSUE. It's just like the old story "Dr. my arm hurts when I position it like this" Dr: "Well don't do that" " Honestly, the news, media and Apple haters have taken this story and misconstrued the hell out of it. Whenever any company sells a million of anything, there are going to be some issues with a small % of the devices. That's a given. The problem nowadays, is that the first "I want some media love-whore attention jerk" will begin to whine, tip news outlets and complain on every message bored around. I've TRIED to drop a call by using a Samurai Death Grip and it just wouldn't happen. Yes, the bars fall but it's not hurting reception or the phones performance. Anywho, to those who have been weary about picking up and iP4 because of this nonsense please don't hesitate it's seriously not that bad.
I recently discovered the chrome inlay surrounding the camera pops off and under it is a port for an external antenna. I go camping every now and then at a place not too far from home where unless I'm in a field, the service isn't strong enough to hold a call. Though texting is fairly reliable. Would an External Antenna be substantially helpful? Would it boost my Data signal as well? It would be great to use the Dun hack when camping.
I've been trying to find a decent external antenna which I can use on my Env Touch for those times when I have a faint signal but not enough to actually hold a call or send a text. I've been looking on eBay and other places but its hard to find one with a direct CRC9 connector. Any recommendations?
Just curious, if there are any major problems people are having with their iPhones at all? I'm tempted to get one but what's holding me back is the antenna issue right now, but I was also curious if there were any other problems people were having?
So since I have been having the reception antenna issues I thought I would make an appointment and stop in to the Apple store today. I told the guy all my issues and he said we can either replace it or give you a bumper and see if it helps. I thought it would be a good idea if I started fresh with a new phone. He went in back and came out with a box that was NOT the nice small iPhone 4 retail box.
It was plastic looking like one of those small hardware screwdriver boxes with all the little bits. He opened the box and in it was an iPhone 4 surrounded in black foam and the phone was wrapped in a little bag. My first thought was this has to be a refurbished or one someone brought back that was having a different problem. He said "How could it be refurbished? The phone just came out." I didn't believe him cause he has a odd smirk on his face when he said it.....
Do you think that Apple made a calculated risk with it's new antenna design? Let's take the 3G/3GS.....the antenna is on the inside of the phone behind essentially an outer plastic shell. So a naked iPhone 3GS the antenna signal goes through 1 layer (the plastic back).
Do you think Apple had enough research and statistics to show that the majority of users put an iPhone in some sort of case, whether that case is plastic or silicone? So now on a 3GS, the antenna has to go through the plastic back, then a plastic/silicone case....now it's going through 2 layers. Do you think they determined that this combo caused a lower/weaker signal?
Now the iPhone 4....antenna on the outside. Do you think Apple took a calculated risk in knowing that most people put it in a case anyway (heck even Steve in one of his emails suggested using a case) and the fact they came out with the bumper....that they knew since most people would put a case on it....that the antenna being on the outside would provide a stronger signal?
Yes, the people who choose to go caseless with their phones are more easily affected by the issue, but since that may be the minority of users, Apple is ok with saying "Hold it differently"? We all know Apple does things based on what they "think" the majority of users will do....ie: no firewire on low end Macbooks.I don't know anything about antenna signals, so I'm just guessing here.....but if an antenna's signal is degraded behind each layer of plastic etc, then by moving the antenna outside, Apple is giving it a better chance at getting a stronger signal, even though there is a side effect of direct contact with skin that can cause the signal to degrade significantly.
Tests I would like to see are the difference in signal strength in a 3GS with the back on and the back off.
I've been looking around and I'm not really finding too much information.First of all, I need to know the dB Gain of the internal 1900MHz antenna, which is just a piece of aluminum curved around a few times. Second of all, I need to know what the external antenna plug is called. It kind of looks like MMCX, or MCX, or maybe MC-Card... Although I can not be sure unless I order these connectors to test out.
I know I can get the Wilson external antenna adapter but I think it is too big for what I need. I'd like to get something I can mount on the board permanently and just add an external 3-7 dB Gain omni-directional antenna for travel usage, or connect a 15+ dB Gain outdoor directional antenna when being used inside. Pictures below are 1, antenna connectors, and 2, screw on SMA 3-7 dB Gain antenna for use while traveling. Added a 2 pics of the jack on the Mogul for the external antenna, first is not a good quality pic though.
How good is the wifi antenna on the Eris? Comparable to a decent laptop?I've never had a phone with wifi before but I would want a phone that can get reception where my laptop does. Sometimes I use these devices pretty far from the AP with low signal strength.
Where is the phone antenna of the Xperia Ray located? My best guess is that it is located below the battery (not under), beside the speaker at the back.
The antenna in the E71 model is situated in the bottom of the keypad, next to the microphone. I generally handle the phone in the left hand while I work on the other things with the right hand. Actually, except while typing something on the phone, most of the time it's in my left hand, with the antenna behind the palm (or the palm behind the antenna). Do you think it causes some health or reception issues? The SAR emission from this model is already more than double of most other models.
So far, I've not noticed the signal strength dwindling with my normal handling of the phone. The call quality is the best I've ever experienced in any other brand. The voice is clear, crisp, and very real. My concern is, then, with the effect of constantly using the phone for web browsing or for the calls on the human body. Will it adversely impact me or my hand?
Don't you think the antennas should always be on the top (but on the backside to reduce their impact near the head while talking)? Why do people come up with the new ideas that make little sense? And then, how many of us get to know where the antenna in any new phone model is? If the position is a fixed one, at least everyone will know how to hold the phone right.
a few weeks ago i saw somebody who got a free bumber by complaining to apple. Supposedly it solves the problem. I went to the apple store and what they tell me is ridiculous. buy a bumper im NOT going to buy a piece of plastic that cost 60 cents to make in china. FU&K that. or Return the iphone. Thats out of the damn question i love the damn phone i spend hours waiting in line. So if anyone can help me find that free bumper people have been getting for the issue that would be great. Thanks for the help and sorry for the rant
