Nokia :: 5800 - Started Using With Sim Card And It Kept Restarting Itself
Jul 31, 2010
I have bought a new 5800 5 days ago and i have been using it without a sim card. There was no problem. Yesterday i started using it with my sim card and it kept restarting itself. My version is v50 and i have already tried hard and soft reset. Also no problem with memory card. I tried my friends sim on my phone and still same problem.my apps are from ovi store . On offline mode it works fine but when i start to use sim card it reboots in 3 minutes. Any ideas before a nokia care center?
After succesfull upgrading to Symbian Belle(111.030.0609) my Nokia N8 has started self restarting. It restart more than 20 times a day, even if no application is running and all widgets are closed. I reinstalled Symbian Belle, but nothing changed.With Symbian Anna i haven't noticed that my Nokia N8 has performed self restart.
I tried a lot of methods to solve this problem (restart, reflash, hard and soft reset, run it without memory card, put papers near the battery, changed some settings..) - anything doesn't work for me. I know that on net are a lot of topics like this one, but i think i tried all recommended solutions to solve it.. I updated my 5800XM to v50 firmware, after it was done, i started it and i enjoyed the KS, music player etc.. But after a while (like 3-4mins) my phone restarts (restart without needed to insert PIN code). I said, it's ok. But now it restarts every 3-4 mins. I found the solution - when the screen is not lighting (sleeping), it wouldn't restart. But i need to work with it, so this is useless.. Any help please?
has always worked fine, i view on the phone and they stay til i either delete or view on my computer. but today they have just started vanishing from my phone after i recheck my mails and when i go onto my laptop they are not there at all. I've checked and its still set to ask me before it deletes but it is and i cant find out whats happening . I've not changed any settings either . it just started of its own accord. help please as I've lost some important mails already.
Recently my nokia 5800 started displaying broken thumb icons in the picture lybrary.The pictures are fine on my memory card but the phone cant display them.Its not the memory card because my music works.Also i think that my phone didint update like it should the last time i tried it because it got kinda slow can i "preinstall it"
This is my wifes phone, this weekend the screen started to change colour with a slight blue or green tint that then went back to normal, the phone seems to be getting quite hot when in use, has anyone heard of this problem, other than this the phone functions as it should?
recently i had updated my firmware through phone itself,after that its getting restarted automatically once or twice in a day. Since the problem persists i reinstalled the s/w through system also.but the problem is still there.
my nokia 5800 has been weird for some time now ..it restarts itself every now and then it has like vertical grey and black lines ..and red and black horizontal lines other times ..now it just restarted itself and i found NO MESSAGES anymore .. all my files were gone it was overloaded with +1000 inboxes and sent items ..but how come i get to lose them in a glance?
I updated my Nokia 5800 to v 60.0.0.3 using nokia suite. Earlier I had version 52.0.0.7. After updating, the screen on my PC said "your device will restart" But it never did. Now when I press power button, I get a short vibration. That's all. No display or light or sound.
My phone started restarting automatically after i put thesim cards for my first use, it was restarting for more than 10 times without shutting off. My battery percentage was 28%. I thought it is a charging issue so i charged it until the 100%.
Today (the second day), my phone was very good for all the day until the battery reach the 27% and received a phone call, then the mobile started restarting immediately until i put it on charger.
My BB is a curve 9300 that has suddenly started restarting on its own while texting, calling, left alone etc. Has been doing this the past two days about 8 times a day. Softwares are supposedly up to date. Have removed the batteries and sim and restarted, but it has not helped.
I recently got a Nokia 5800 Music phone on contract, I've already had to get an exchange once because the battery was dodgy on it. I'm now having problems with my 8GB memory card, when I put it into the phone it said "Memory Card Corrupted", So I formatted it, as it had said to (lost all my music from it) And now it only shows up as 30MB, **bleep**? Also, when I take pictures and such, they're all showing up as corrupted (since they save straight to memory card) - I called up the company who I've got the contract phone from, and they really weren't any help.
When I go to gallery /images & videos. only thing in it is msyncinit, dwnl imgs and dwnl vid all my pics are on memory card but in gallery i can't see it
During an OTA Ovi Store software update the phone froze with a white screen and all buttons including power button dead .
Removed battery and reset gets past boot screen then message memory card full ( 16 GB so i dont think so at all )
Fails to connect im mass storage mode so i cannot format the card . *#7370# and attempt at 3 button trick got knowhere .
Managed to format the memory card but it still refuses to connect via mass storage or PC Suite .After *#7370# Opening file manager results in a never ending opening message .Any further ideas before i take the memory card back to CPW ( who also sold the phone )
As I'm editing music files / installing apps to card, I'd like to do regular backups (5800 XPress Music).Can I just copy all the contents of the card over to "Backup" folder on PC harddrive (using phone in "storage" mode) ? If I then moved these over to a new card, would this be transparent to the phone?Or is there some fancy function of Ovi software that is needed to do this ?
After having this phone for more then half a year, I finally decided to post my complaints, now that my phone really stopped working properly. I'll bullet-point it in chronological order so as to make it clear, because there are too many problems I would like to share with you.
1. After I got the phone( firmware version 21.something), I very very liked it. When I compared it to my friend's 5800 phone (the first firmware version 11.something) though, mine didn't work really fluently. For example, when I press the button on the top of the screen, the bar just appears/disappears as opposed to nicely slides out/in as on my friend's phone. Same when closing/opening windows, mine just appears/disappears as opposed to the nice way it did on the other phone. This is of least of my concerns right now though.
2. Moreover, soon I found out how unstable the whole thing was. The phone kept freezing and crushing whenever I was using the internet or listening to music. I took special care not to install or copy any illegal stuff in it. The application folder took forever to load (all applications from Ovi store) and from time to time I got some really nasty crashes where the screen went black with some red line across it. This slowly led me to believe there was a virus in the phone. After downloading the anti-virus program no virus was detected, though................
When I select Messaging -> Settings -> Other -> Memory -> [select memory card E]then it is OK for email messages but when I receive an SMS it issues an error 'Cannot access memory' and then it switches back to phone memory C, stres the message there and then opens is.
This bug is still present in Firmware V4.0025. Is there a workaround for this?The reason is that 'Phone memory C' is still very precious as it is shared with the working memory (Symbian design flaw ?) so I do not use the C memory is possible.
1. I have my own tone for incoming sms and it is not a song so I don't what it to be added to my music library in default music player I can't understand in what folder I should put it on SD card? (in other words what folder is not scanning for music by default music player). 2. In what folder I should put my music files by default? SoundsMusic? If I will put it in this folder my music library will be updating automaticly with new files from this folder? 3. Do you have any description of folders in memory/SD card and what content is expecting to be in these folders.
after browsing in Opera Mini(5.2 beta), my 5800 froze and restarted. It no longer recognizes my memory card. On starting usb connection it tells me that i don't have a memory card in and PC-suite might not work as expected. I tried a soft-reset (*#7370#), but it still does not recognize the memory card. All applications saved on my memory card are no longer displayed. In file manager it tells me I have no memory card in. Of course I have ejected and inserted the memory card, but the initial problem started when my I was just browsing.
I have a prob with my one week old (!) 5800 phone. Its 8GB memory card became invisible (file browser says- E: NO MEMORY CARD INSERTED) while I was browsing internet (on the screen suddenly appeared 'it is advised to choose Remove memory card first in phone menu, and then remove it' or smth like that).Now no formatting capabilities in phone menu. I have tried another Memory Card 1GB, Nokia made, and it is invisible too. My old Nokia E51i file manager can read both cards.The phone is ONE WEEK from an authorised Nokia shop, no damages, no fall.
I've had one frustrating experience with my phone and it continues to annoy me. Since the past 6 months that i'm using my nokia 5800, one problem reoccurs frequently. Data on my memory card gets deleted by itself every now and then. I lose videos, music and images primarily every time.
The only option remaining then is to run a data recovery software on my memory card to restore to the lost data. This has happened 5 times in last 6 months and I have no clue why. I have seen many other complaining of the same problem in this forum but there's no solution. I hope to find on in this thread.
For your knowledge, i'm using 8gb micro sd that came with the phone and i'm already on FW ver 40.X which is the latest.List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB and 5800 XpressMusic (currently using this).
I have a very large contact list I want to import to my new express music 5800. I read the fine manual, but don't see how to switch the saving of contacts to the memory card so that I have more than the 40 MB currently available on the phone's memory.
I have bought a new 16 gb sd card to replace the 8 gb card that comes with the phone. I thought that copying all the files (including hidden and system) will be enough, but when I put the new card, applications installed in the memory card does not work. I have also used the same name for the new memory card.Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the card without having to reinstall the applications?
First off I just wanna say THANK YOU NOKIA for releasing this update for FREE.Im taking of my hat for you :-) Very much appreciated!I just have one question, is it possible to use the MAP program in offline mode (not connected to internet?)Before I did the update I was able to use the GPS without any internet connection, atm I need to be online to use the GPS and MAPs. I been reading back and forth for 2½ hours now searching for the MAP download to put on my memory card.But I cant find any link etc that get me to download the entire Swedish map (so I can use the GPS without internet connection) Or isnt that possible with this free service anymore ? (cause connecting to internet everyday and always when using the GPS can and will be very expensive The Phone is : Nokia 5800 XpressMusic The Phone Version is : V31.0.101 (Date: 19-9-2009) -updated yesterday OviMAPS (in phone) : V3.03 So could someone answer if its possible to download an map to the memorycard (as before) and use it offline?
The thing is, i'm running out of memory in my 5800, i had 36 mb free in my phone and after updating to ovimaps 3.3 i have 30 mb, a there's still 15 mb to be updated, my question is, can i set the updates (im updating with the app. update)to be install in the memory card instead of the phone? V31.2.101
I have a virus on my memory card which has de-stabilised my phone, has it seems to be frezzing, shutting down and just mis behaving. the problem i have with re formatting the card is that it came with some system files. if i reformat through the phone , will it replace all the system files on the memeory card...
My xpressmusic 5800 has decided to stop reading my memory card. It is the original 8gb micro sd card from Nokia. I'm no longer able to use apps such as Ovi Maps and I don't have enough memory to update it.I haven't dropped the phone nor have I removed the memory card until after it stopped reading.What can I do? It has some stuff on there I would like to keep as I hadn't got round to uploading it so even if I had the option to would I be able to retrieve some data off it?
As you all Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gives only 81MB for its phone memory. Many of you have used the 'App. update' located in Application folder in Nokia 5800 main menu. On the first use of App. update you will find updates like
Adobe Flashlite 3.1Live TV 1.2Mail for Exchange 2.9Ovi Store 1.5Python for S60 2.0Scribble 0.2After installing all these updates, only 64 - 70 MB is left in my mobile this makes my mobile slow. While installing these updates i didnt got any pop-up to choose while installing these updates to Phone memory or Memory card i.e C dirve or E drive. can install all the above updates in Memory card that means i will get a pop-up like we get while installing 3rd party application.
After a year of purchase, i now decided to reset my nokia 5800. I backed up every contact and messages on to my Memory card and after the reset Memory card asks for a password...Guys please help and plz do't give sugessions to format memory card as i have all the USEFUL data on it..By the way i only connect mobile to PC via USB cable i don't have a seperate CARD reader.
After receiving my 5800 I had to restore factory settings and format the memory card to get rid of unwanted pre-installed content.Before that, I had no problems connecting the phone to the computer via USB and transferring media files, but now - Ovi player doesn't recognize it when I connect the phone and select PC suite modemedia transfer mode. Bluetooth works, mass storage mode via USB works. I am using Windows 7.Is there anything that I need to reinstall on the phone to get it to work? has anybody seen this problem?
