I got a Nokia 5800XM with the v31. Now I've been trying to update it to v40, But it won't let me update it. It still detects that the latest update is v31 not v40. My RSM is 365 and code is: 0587678
I have seen on the Internet that there is an v40.0.005 update for Nokia 5800XM. But I can't download this 'Over the Air' and in Nokia Software Updater? Product code: 0578577.
Apparently this includes the following: - Browser 7.2 - Lifecasting (with Maps 3.0T SR3.0) - Flash Video Phase-3 - Flashlite 3.1.7.x - Gimlet Touch 2.2 - Kinetic scrolling in Appshell (Menu grid) - OVI Sync 2.0 - Hurriganes Music Player - Enable Side lock Key functionality during Swipe UI (Calendar/Clock alarm) - Windows 7 Device Stage Support - OVI store 1.5.6 - Quick Office v4.2 - OVI Music - Cherry v2.1 - Rihanna service launcher - OVI contacts 1.50.8 - Workaround for Niagara (SMD) display module for DFS52.50 based products
I can see the new music player (with it's loss of Find function!) but not sure where all these other things are? QuickOffice (not listed in apps)? Flashlite (what is this ?), Gimlet Touch (ditto) etc.
I just updated my 5800XM's FW to the latest version (40.0.005). After the FW update I can't install any apps on the phone. When I try to install an app, it gives an error Unable to start operation. Installer already in use. I tried again after restarting the phone, but still no change.
I have a Nokia 5800XM since 1 year and I have an issue since a few weeks. I Updated my phone to the 40.0.005 firmware version When I play a music with the music player, at the end of the song, there is a General System error and I can't use the payer anymore. But the rest of the phone system is operational, I can do what I want (except playing music). If I reboot the phone, I can play 1 song and the same error appears. I've tried a soft reset, a hard reset and a firmware reinstallation. The problem remains the same.
I have recently updated to v50 firmware. I did first OTA, and then through Ovi Suite. I am experiencing several issues, the most severe of which is a substantially patchier internet connection. The internet connection worked well previously, but now it's a coin toss whether it will or not. This change coincided with the update. The auto-rotation has also become substantially slower. I have tried reinstalling the firmware, resetting the phone, rebooting, removing battery and SIM card, to no avail.
I am very happy for Nokia to be updating the firmware for a phone that came out a while ago, so this is just constructive criticism. I am overall happy with the phone, and all the improvements are very welcome. The main issue I had been experiencing was random crashing of the browser, and occasional random reboot from the phone.
I tried to take out my memory card, but it stilll connnects without asking. Is there a way to check what app connects to 3g? I dont want to uninstall apps or do a reset. I tried to disconnect it with connection manager but still does the same.
I understand that FW v40 has introduced some new features like kinetic srolling etc. But also it removed appointments/todo lists from Home screen! What else it improved? Did it fix shortcut disappearing after USB disconnect? Or phone hanging on restart unless memory card taken out?
Whenever I set a place and select "drive to", it always ask me: "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I select NO, it will not work. It can show where I am, but don't tell me how to go to my destination.
I bought an unlocked 5800XM (RM-428, fw 21.2.025) for my wife a couple of months ago. It is actually Cincinnati Bell branded, but we are using it in AT&T. Until yesterday everything was going smoothly until she was not able to send SMS's anymore.
I verified the SMS center #, all other settings etc., but to no avail. I even put my SIM in the phone and I wasn't able to do that, either. The phone was able to receive messages, though. And she was able to send messages on another phone.
So... I decided to use my Nokia PC Suite and Software Updater to check if there is an update available. No, there wasn't, but I still decided to go ahead and do a reinstall. Just in case.
The process went great, no problems, error messages etc. Except a "phone disconnected" (I never touched the phone or cable while the update process was going on) message a couple of times, which the PC Suite said is okay. Until I tried turning the phone on.
NOTHING! I press the power button and the screen lights up briefly, but that's it. Then I decided to press the button a bit longer so that I would feel the usual brief vibration when turning it on. Well, there is a vibration, but it continues for about a minute, or so, and then stops. But the phone still doesn't turn on.
I've got a 5800xm on T-mobile in the UK which had software version 21.0.025. Checked for updates on the phone and had the 'no updates available' message. Went onto Ovi Suite, did a backup of my phone, then updated the software to version 31.0.101 which should be compatable with Ovi/Nokia maps 3.3 (with FREE navigation). After several attempt to download and install the new map software (through Ovi store on the handset, Ovi.com, and Ovi Suite) I finally managed to get the 'installation complete' message
I don't get the dashboard when I first start Ovi maps each time, which is supposed to show that it is indeed the new version that you're running. Now when I start to plan a route, I get the first turn voice command, then my phone shows 'updating' then proceeds to ask me for money! If I go into options - about (on maps), I'm supposedly running v31.01 09wk26. If I go into settings - application manager - installed application, Ovi maps shows version 3.03(246) being installed. Tonight I connected the 5800 to my PC to download some maps using maploader, and Ovi Suite came up with an option to install Maps v3
For a change, this is not a post to complain about my phone. Just a post to say thanx to Nokia. I got a 5800 since about a year now. At the beginning I was a little bit disappointed because of no office document reader, no free navigation, no kinetic scrolling but all these came, one by one, every 3 months or so.
And I am just so happy with what I can do with it (Calendar sync with Outlook, MP3, stereo audio bluetooth, read my emails with WiFi, use Google Maps, Google Mail) and with the improvements that have been delivered through the several firmware releases. Especially OVI MAPS with Free worldwide GPS Navigation, this is so cool. And the new music player, and the free Office document reader.
Of course there is always room for improvement. I'd like to : - sync my address book & mail with Thunderbird - open PDF document - get rid of the Nokia internet browser for the new Opera - never have to restart my phone for software problem - charge it from USB etc.
I have had 2 times issue that phone screen freezes during call. No keys helped, but ON/OFFswitch. Updated to last version of v40.0.005. Don't remember the exact conditions or sequece of actions, just got unpleasant case. I noticed also that batteryindicator showed 1 stripe of battery. After restart , the battery was full. Is this expected action for this phone? Should Itake it back to service? My phone is used ~1 week, so there can't be any issues caused by wrong usage.
well i dutifully upgraded to the latest firmware and while the kinetic scrolling is nice i feel there has been an attempt to emulate the iphone somewhat with the 'slider' functions for answering calls and turning off alarms?
frankly i think they are awful and fiddly there was nothing wrong with the origional touch button functions. the rest is fine nokia honestly i Heart my 5800 immensly but stop trying to ape the iphone and just do your own thing
Anybody can help me, suddenly my phone began to be very slow when is starting, take 5 minute to start the main screen.notice that I take out the microsd card, inmediately run and star the well.
Most of time I'm using my Nokia 5800xm (about 12hours per day). I mean I'm living with my phone. so i wanna know any risk of using? will my usage harm to my phone. but I'm using it very carefully.
I have a few mp3's showing no album art & would like to download the images (from Google images) to enable the "change album art" option to work.I can't see an obvious way to do this e.g. there is no option to download images, either from Nokia web browser or via the album art function.
I have various calendar alarms set on my Nokia 5800XM. It has the latest software according to OVI although I have seen a slightly later release online. When an alarm sounds the phone seems to lock up. I can't stop or silence the alarm nor can I unlock the screen to do so. To stop the alarms I have to either switch the phone off or press the red button which snoozes the alarms for 10 mins.
A rather odd problem propped up the other day after I updated to V40 on my 5800 XM. The ringtone I've been using for a while suddenly changed itself...
If someone were to call, the ringtone SHOULD be the my personal ringtone, instead it is the Nokia Tune tone. But the issue is that it changes constantly, so this person could call the first time, the ringtone would be the Nokia Tune. The next time they call, say, perhaps 5 minutes later, it'd be my personal ringtone.I've already checked and the ringtone (a music file) is definitely still there and I can play it through the music player.
The 'General' profile is where this particular ringtone is set and it's still set there too. I've tried changing it to another music file, then changing it back to the original file but still the problem persists.I've even gone as far as removing the entire music library from the phone (all music files are located on the Memory Card) and re-transferring it over to the phone from my PC.
It's not particular to any contact and sometimes, it'll play my personal ringtone for a call and the next call it'd be the Nokia Tune. It's only ever the Nokia Tune that it changes to by itself.
I have downloaded to my phone a very good internet browser called UC Browser (http://www.uc.cn/English/download.shtml ), I am finding it a lot better than the built in Nokia one but when I want to open up a link the hone always uses its original browser, how can I get it to open up in this new browser instead? I have looked in application settings and cannot see how to selct the other browser as default browser.
A couple of days ago I had to a hard reset (all 3 stages) and since then the PC won't recognise my 5800 as a phone (in media transfer mode)..........BUT it now recognises the memory card as a proper computer drive (drive D, a second HDD which is now corrupted) if put into 'mass storage' mode!! It now appears on the Windows device driver as a 'portable device' and not under 'USB connections' as before.I've done a System restore on the PC to back before the phone reset with no success.And the phone behaves perfectly in all respects.The problem with the 5800 not being detected as a phone is that the C drive does not appear and so is not accessible.
I love my Nokia 5800XM phone. I"m still trying to learn it all, but I have one problem. When someone sends me a picture it comes in very small. I don't know why. When I save the picture it's that same size. I would love for someone to help me with this. What's the point of haveing a camra phone or having people send you pictures if you can't see them?
I just bought a new memory card for my 5800XM, and tried to use back up/restore from Nokia Suite to move the existing messages, apps etc to the new card. Somehow it didn't work as I expected. While the everything was restored to the new card, I can't run the apps (there's a key symbol on them, I suspect that means they are locked), and it says I have no messages.
My 5800XM keeps connecting to the internet, at least once per day. I don't want it to do this because I'm on PAYG and would like to be in control of when I pay to connect to the internet. There are no apps running and I've started uninstalling lots of things to try to narrow down why this keeps happening. The default connection is Always Ask, I've done everything I could find to make silent unconfirmed internet connection impossible. Is there any way of determining what is using the internet connection?
my 5800XM turn off automatically while booting up. To be precise, it turn off when the screen is showing a white background with a blue nokia word in the middle.
I have Nokia 5800xm, I have updated the OVI maps to to version 3.3 and whenever I open it, mobile connects automatically to internet via GSM network which I don't want, before updating it asks me before if I want to connect or not. Now may most of application which need internet, it opens internet automatically. It does cost money because it's expensive to connect from mobile.
When in 'My Position' mode, the map moves to follow you as you move, however, it does not rotate. Is this due to the 5800's lack of a built in compass? If not, how can I enable this? Pressing the compass icon achieves nothing. Is there a way to manually rotate the map? Again, messing about with the compass icon has no yieled results.In navigation mode, when a route has been set, your current speed is shown, along with warnings when you go too fast, along with speed camera information. Is there anyway to activate these features without setting a route? I'd like these features when I'm out on a random drive, and have not decided a destination. E.g. having them in 'My Position' mode.Also, I do not have a data package, and so have A-GPS disabled, in Locations -> Positioning settings under applications, and have only integrated GPS activated. I've been wondering whether there is a charge for Network Positioning though? It seems as if all it does it find the mast you're connected to.
I have been trying over the past 7 days to add a 2nd email account using the nokia messaging website, but after inputting the mailserver and port details continually get the error message "Cannot process your request, please try later". Is anyone else experiencing this?
I purchased my new Nokia 5800XM so I could get access to my email and this not very satisfactory.
The asterisk which appears on the home screen contacts bar when you have an outstanding contact has previously worked absolutely fine. However I now have the asterisk "stuck" on a contact despite not being able to find any contact to clear or open - no missed calls or unopened text messages etc.Any ideas on how to clear this?
I recently updated my 5800 xpressmusic to V 40.0.005. Sadly it wasn't just good stuff like faster menus, better unlocking-feature and more practical texting, it came with some annoying errors too.
My problem lies in the Home-Screen and its shortcuts, I got some trouble in Home-screen settings too, but not as important. I can't use the dialer and contacts-buttons on the touchscreen, I get a confirming response from the vibrator but nothing really happens. The same with the calendar-shortcut when you push the date-button above the contact-shortcuts on screen.
The green and red button won't work in the Home-screen either, although they work everywhere ells. I have tried to soft-reset, is there any other option than hard-reset and would it solve my problems?
