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 .
Just upgraded my very stable G3 from 4.4.2 to 5.0 this afternoon. Everything seems to work except the BBC iPlayer app which will not live stream anymore (no video or sound but the timebar indicates it is running). Strangely it does does download and then plays. I find it difficult to get out of the app - it takes 3 or 4 taps. The last time it froze the phone and I had to remove the battery, something I have never had to do before. I have done a factory reset - that makes no difference. It's a 32Gb D855 and I'm unlocked on Three.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been successfully watching TV on my Nokia 5800 using the preinstalled BBC iPlayer app for sometime without problem. But for the past month, although I can connect to the app, and browse through the content pages, whenever I press click to play nothing happens - and the programme content (tv and radio) simply doesn't play. Any thoughts? Is RealPlayer involved?
Device software version: V 31.0.101 of 16-09-2009

Latest update: Not Updated
Hopefully someone can help me here. I have just received a brand new nokia 5800 chrome edition from T-Mobile. From what I can tell I think it's running version 31.0.101 firmware. One of the 1st apps I want to install is the BBC iplayer one. I browsed to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer on the phone which prompted me to download the software. Downloaded and installed fine.
Now when I go to open the app it pops up with "Allow connection to network" message. I click ok it instantly connects via T-Mobile internet. As the iplayer only allows steaming via wifi (for t-mobile anyway) obviously this connection method is no good.
I have ready that RealPlayer basically controls the back-end of iplayer so I have turned the default connection in their to my wifi connection. Still does exactly the same thing (tries to connect via T-Mobile). I have also put the wifi as the deafult connection in settings>connectivity>destinations and it Still automatically tries to connect to T-Mobile internet with no other options.
I've unistalled and re-installed the app many times. I've also moved my WAP connections to their own seperate folder and just left the wifi as the main option, but still it tries to automatically connect using the T-Mobile WAP.
I've also tried putting the phone in offline mode and then opening the app but it just says connection unavailable in offline mode in an endless loop that is impossible to stop without turning the phone off.
This is really frustrating. All in all it seems like a great little phone, just a shame I'm having such trouble with the 1st app I decide to put on it!
If anyone can offer any help I would be most grateful.
For the first time since the v50 update I tried to use BBC iplayer (on 5800), which now seems to work - through native browser now, even though the widget is separate. Accessing archived stuff worked fine, but when I tried to use it for live streaming I got the sound but the screen stayed grey (I was on wifi at the time). Is this the BBC still preventing access (as they used to) or is there another issue here?

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'.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I used to be able to listen to Radio1 on my N97 via the iplayer app, however recently when I went to use it it does not work. Have tried it over a couple of days and still faulty. iplayer starts, I select radio, select radio1, select the day and that is were it stops.

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHaving been able to control my music via the supplied headset of my Music Express 5800 it has now stopped working. I can still hear perfectly well via it, but the volume control, stop, start of skip functions have now stopped. I'm not too sure the ability to answer the phone from it exists either. Can anyone tell me if this is due to the headset itself or if there's an option in the 5800 that I need to look at? If it's the latter I won't need to make a trip to the store.

When I use BBC iplayer the program selected runs ok, but if I try to move it on through the slide bar it moves it on but then displays the slide bar permanently and the rotating circle, which is annoying.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan anyo0ne explain why the N900 cannot play streaming video like BBC iplayer or TV Catchup. Even you tube videos are blocky and jumpy. I thought one of the great selling features was that it could play flash. The iphone yet again wins in this category - may not be flash but they seem to have a workaround that works unlike the N900 - or am I doing something wrong? Is this another underpowered nokia device? I don't understand when the lesser models like the 5800 and the N97 can do these things - Why do Nokia get is so nearly right but in the end always seem to fail. And please don't tell me the N900 is a "work in progress" there are some things it should be capable of out of the box.
Current Devices:
N900, N97, 5800 & iPhone.
nukea - we will get the perfect device in the end (but not this year!)
I have finally solved the issue of setting you the BBC iplayer so it asks you how you would like to connect when you run the application rather then it always by default connecting to the service provider in my case (orange).
Step 1 - download the newest software update for the N97 you will need software version V 20.0.019 software version date is 13-10-09.
Step 2 - download the latest BBC iplayer version this should be version 2.5.0(141).
Step 3 - from the phone go to menu then go to web once opened go to options then settings once in settings go to general and set access point to ask when needed.
Step 4 - from menu go to Videos & TV go to option in Video and TV then settings and set network connection to ask when needed if its not already set to this.
Step 5 - from menu go to settings then connectivity then destinations then internet and set your required WIFI connection to priority 1.
Step 6 - from menu go to applications then open realplayer then settings then go to streaming settings then network and the access point in use should display your required WIFI connection e.g. mine shows my home network talktalk. If your required network is not displayed then open the access point in use and select the required WIFI connection.
Step 7 - turn your phone off and take out the battery for 2mins then turn your phone back on.
Step 8 - when the phone turns on and the phone displays select connection you should see internet underneath it should be displayed your WIFI connection. Do not select anything. Instead go to options then go to select access point and choose your service provider e.g. orange Internet.
Step 9 - once your phone is set-up and all widgets are set all you have to do to use BBC iplayer is go to options on the home screen select content to offline mode then content to online mode then open the BBC iplayer. The phone will then ask for a connection select your wifi connection and your away.
i hope the above steps help you and work as they worked for me just remember after you do the 8 steps above you only need to repeat step 8 everytime you wish to use BBC iplayer.
Just upgraded from an N8 to the 808. All good but I am getting the unable to obtain licence message for downloaded programmes from the Iplayer. I have I installed the WMDRM DLA plug in but no joy. Checked my N8 and this is still able to acquire the licence.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI work nights, and until last year was able to convert BBC Listen Again radio programmer to RealPlayer and listen to them again in the evening when at work with headphones on my N5800XM I used to convert (using iplayer converter) the files, but for some reason the BBC stopped the RealPlayer format and since then I have been unable to listen again to any local programmes (think they are in windows media format now).
I say Listen Again, but I can listen to the main National BBC radio programmes, such as, BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, etc., but I desperately want to listen to Local BBC Radio.
Am I doing something wrong? I can access Iplayer through my mobile, and find the required programme. When I press yes, it takes me straight back to the "Do you want to download Iplayer" and wont let me go any further. I already have Iplayer on my mobile and can watch TV progrmmes and as said before National Radio Programmes.
Getting desperate now, and thought it a bit too trivial to mention it on the forums, but it is sooooo frustrating. Someone else must have come across this problem. Or maybe, it is something you can't do and then I can stop fretting.
I have a 5800 XpressMusic and recently bought an BH-503 Bluetooth headset. It paired easily with my 5800 and I have no problems connecting the headset to my 5800. The sound quality is good and I enjoy listening to music on the new headset. The mic, however, doesn't work when paired with my 5800. I can hear the other guy without any problems but he cannot hear me. I've tried calling all of my friends and they obviously use loads of different mobile phones and landline phones, the result is always the same. I've tried resetting the headset - to no avail. Removing it from my 5800's Bluetooth paired devices list, then adding it again - no help. To test the mic itself, I paired the headset with my PC (a Dell XPS M1530). It paired fine - and the mic works!
It's a bit on the quiet side but it works fine, I can chat on Skype and record voice on my PC. So obviously the problem is pairing the mic with my 5800. My 5800 recently came back from Nokia after some service (wouldn't switch on, now fixed) and has firmware v. 40.something (haven't got the phone at hand right now). I have beautiful sound in the headset, all the buttons work fine and I love the headset. Everything works when paired with my PC, it's just the mic not working with my 5800. FYI, I haven't tried the 5800 with other Bluetooth headsets. Maybe my 5800 has Bluetooth problems. I guess I could go back to the store where I bought the BH-503 and ask to borrow another Bluetooth headset to check if that fixes it.
I bought a new Nokia 5800 xpress music last week. I upgraded the fiwmare to 40.xx and the ovi maps to 3.0.3 immediately after purchase. I see that GPS is not working atall. I can see that GPS data at the top but i am unable to get my current position. The same is working on my frineds mobile. I live in india and dont think place is a problem. I tried to get my position using GPRS as well as WLAN biut no use. Update: I just installed Google maps and its able to detect my current position! something is not right with ovi maps i guess.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI installed the latest Nokia OS for my N86 yesterday, v 21.006. I now find that the BBC iPlayer doesn't work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, and downloaded fresh videos of Dr Who etc, etc.
But still I get the error message "unable to play either sound or video clip, Trying to play partially." And then all i get is the sound of Dr Who fighting the daleks. This all worked fine before I applied the update. I can still watch videos recorded using the camera, and via the France 24 application.
I will call Nokia Helpline, but am expecting to get told that this is due to a problem with the BBC iPlayer.
using n8 with hdmi out (have big screen app installed) to use bbc iplayer (basically a web-based real video app, similar to Internet, but allows you to "catch-up" with previously aired bbc tv programmes in the uk).
i've started using my n8 upstairs, on my bedroom tv - so currently have no lan connections, and my n8 is the only way to watch programmes on iplayer around the house (can use my wii console for this purpose in the lounge).connectivity all seems to work ok, and manage to pair a spare wii controller to the phone to control it (big screen app functionality?).
the one thing i'm curious / concerned about is what's on my phone screen whilst watching iplayer on my tv over hdmi. normally you use the break-out / fullscreen option when watching iplayer on tv, so on my phone's screen, all the while i'm watching something, there's a web page in landscape, with a black box (about 1/3 of the screen size) of the video that's playing on the tv.
1. will this cause any damage, "burn-in" or overuse of my phone's screen to watch programmes on my tv for a couple of hours? have to say i'm not that up-to-date with usage best practices or things to avoid with things like amoled screens, just vaguely remember some concerns with plasma or lcd tv displays.
2. is there any way to blank my phone's screen whilst watching this app (bbc iplayer) on my tv? if i use the lock-key, the app stops / pauses.
