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.
View 5 Repliesmy 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I had v40 I had to tenter the Lock Code when I turned the phone on (something I did rarely so no problem).
When I updated to v50 it doesn't ask for the Lock Code now. Any one know how I can set this to happen?
When I synced my phone with Outlook, it synced all the "reminders" or alarms for the calendar. Does anyone know of a way to change this from playing an mp3 alarm to playing nothing? In other words, can I turn off these alarms? They're going off in the middle of the night in some cases. I think I can change a setting that makes them inactive when my phone is off, but I don't want to have to turn my phone off at night.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following feature requests (I previously had a SE phone):
1. You cannot assign different melodies for different alarms. Even old $50 non-smartphones can do that.
2. You cannot make one alarm for Monday, Thuesday and Friday and another alarm for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Work days are absolutely insufficient. Please, make it possible to assign any number of days for any alarm.
3. Delivery reports must be a part of the sent messages. It's absolutely inconvenient to have them in a separate folder. This way you have to go into a separate folder just to know if a message was delivered or not (in case you've sent a dozen of messages and missed on-screen delivery reports).
4. Received SMS messages do not include sent date information (a time/date when a person hit 'send' ), only a time/date of actual delivery.
5. When adding a contact to a contact list, earlier SMS messages from this contact remain unidentified.
6. Service requests, e.g. *NUMBER# have no user feedback. All other mobile phones I've dealt with say: "Requesting ..." (I can upload video demonstrating this issue.)
7. Many actions, like hanging up cause very uneven feedback - the phone shutdowns in less than a fraction of a second. I can upload video demonstrating this issue.
8. It's not clear if a mobile telephone is fully charged up - especially if you haven't heard the completion sound/alarm.
9. The same telephone numbers with different prefixes are not recognized. In my country you can call a person "8 123456789" and receive a phone call from "+7 123456789" - Nokia 5530 will treat these two numbers as different numbers when in fact they are the same.
Also you can call a person or a land line phone by omitting country and city prefix like 1234567 and then that person or number will call from "+(country prefix) (city prefix) 1234567" and, of course, Nokia will not recognize this phone number.So this is a direct request to Nokia software engineers: if the last five digits of a number match any previously stored number it must be treated as the old already saved number, e.g. a call from XXXXX12345 must be treated as a call from PersonA who has 12345 telephone number.
10. When entering an SMS message, the phone sometimes goes nuts and after you've finished typing a sentence ending it with dot, all subsequent characters are entered in CAPS mode. (I can upload video demonstrating this issue).
11. QWERTY keyboard in wide screen mode should look exactly like a QWERTY keyboard, like here http://www.gonzalobarr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/qwerty.gif So the second row should have a different indentation and e.g. 'A' char should be located almost in the middle of 'Q' and 'W' chars above. Right now in wide screen QWERTY keyboard the second and third row chars are located exactly under first row chars and it's not easy to map this image with your memory of QWERY keyboard. That makes typing much more difficult.
12. You cannot edit a contact before opening it, which means a lot of unneeded clicks. Please, add "Edit" to contact "Options".
How can I put an alarm for Mondays and Thursdays and another for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays? When I input one new alarm it changes the days of the other at the weekly work days already chosen. It makes it impossible for me to put two different work weeks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedX6 Alarms, how do they work. I see it can take multiple alarms (one up on Blackberry), BUT how do you switch them off, or snooze? When the alarm goes off, a partly lit screen appaears with a STOP and SNOOZE button on the touch screen. Tapping either does nothing. Even unlocking the phone on the side slideer and then taping on these two tough screen button does nothing!. Only recourse is to click on the Red Telephone button, which seems to have the same effect as a snooze button. Still no idea how to actually switch it off, and tend to go into alarms and delete it or reset it to a prior time. Also do alarms that are set for "Weekdays" stay, or do you have to reset (re create) the alarm each time.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm rinning version firmware V50.0.005 and have just updated to the latest Ovi Sat-nav. Now when one of my alarms triggers it won't shut off. Pressing stop on the screen gets a response from the hand set (it vibrates) but the alarm just keeps on playing.
View 3 Replies View Related1) I cannot stop the alarms or reminders when phone is in lock state: When the handset is locked and I get a reminder tone for alarm/reminders, then the STOP and SNOOZE buttons on the screen are disabled. I have to snooze the alarm by pressing the red button on the handset, then unlock the mobile and wait for snooze time (also ensure that mobile is unlocked), and then press the STOP button on the screen.
This is creating huge problem, because to stop any alarm or reminder, I have to wait till the snooze time with mobile unlocked.
2) Cannot turn my phone to silence during incoming call when mobile is in lock state: When I receive any call and if the mobile is in locked mode, I cannot make(rather silence button on screen is disabled) the ringing to silent. If the mobile is in unlocked mode, then any incoming call can be made silent by pressing the silence button on the screen. Again here i need to ensure that phone is in unlock state or use the start/stop button on the side of teh phone.......
I updated the 5800xm to the new firmware v40.0.005. Everything seems to work, except for a small irritation. There are some entries in my calendar and reminders are set.When a reminder is due, a window pops-up with audible alarm for the calendar entry.
To dismiss the reminder, I have to unlock the touchscreen and select from the 2 options (don't remember the exact names).But, after unlocking, the buttons don't respond.. The touch/tapping seems to be registered, but the alarm still persists.The only button that seems to be active is the Red one, which puts the alarm in 'snooze'.. and the alarm repeats every 5 minutes.
After the alarm is 'snoozed', the keyguard again goes to 'locked' state. Further unlocking and working on the phone works ok, except on the calendar reminder option..
Product:5800 XM with firmware version 40.0.005
In version 40, when receiving a call the old answer button was replaced by a sliding button. The same goes for the alarm. The old stop button was replaced with a new sliding stop button.I was in a call, the phone suddenly crashed and restarted. After that both sliding buttons don't appear when receing a call or when an alarm goes off.Is there any solution other than reinstalling the firmware update or hard resetting 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.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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 just got an X6 and was wondering if someone can answer the questions?I've tried settings memo's and meetings with alarms, however if the phone is switched off they don't alert me when I turn it on. Is there something I can change to do this? When I get a new message and the phone is locked the menu button light flashes. Is there a way to make the screen flash when a message comes in (even just once)?Can I get rid of the 'Add' icon on the front as it's in the middle of my other contacts?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwell 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
please remove the sliders in the next update!
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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedA 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.

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.
