Nokia :: Home - Screen Problems On 5800xm V 40.0.005
Mar 30, 2010
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?

Are screen scratches covered under warranty. I've never used anything other than the stylus, it lives it's life in soft case, yet the screen is covered in scratches..especially where the scroll bars would appear.This is my 3rd phone.. the other 2 didn't scratch like this one has.

A few weeks ago, I had an issue where i wasn't getting sms alerts. I put it down to a one off or me just missing them. However, I'ts happened again.My inbox had 3 messages, that I'd not heard a beep for, I had no little envelope icon and no "New Message" alert on the main screen.
As a test, we sent a message to my phone, the message hit the inbox, but there were no notificataions. I changed the profile and sent another text.. same again, no notifications.I rebooted the phone and sent another message.. this time everything worked OK.I'm using a standard message tone as the tone alert..

My touch screen has been playing up for several weeks nowWhen I try to touch the main screen it will select an area to the right of where I am touching, i.e. clicking the dial pad button will actually select the contacts button, clicking 'answer' on the keypad will put the caller on hold etc etc. Other times the scren will not respon at all.
The funny thing is, when I remove the phone's plastic casing, the touch screen works fine! Similarly, if i push the top part of the case to the sides (so it is not in contact with the digitiser) the touch screen will work again until my phone goes on lock and then when I unlock it the touch screen is stuffed again.
I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware problem. On one hand its as if the plastic casing of the phone is rubbing (putting pressure on) against the side of the touchscreen and causing it to not work (hardware) while on the other hand it could be software in that the problem keeps happening everytime the screen goes to sleep (it's not initialising right).The other problem which started at the exact same time is that the green button is not working sometimes when I try to answer calls or turn off my alarm.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should try? I've already done a hard reset. The next step is to buy a new digitizer/plastic case and see if that solves the problem.

Over the last 3 days ive noticed my phone using a lot more battery than it usually does, i can usually get upto 2 days battery usage when its used frequently, but it has been getting less than a day over the last 3 days.
I turned the phone off with the power button and tried to turn it on again, The instant i press the power button the screen turns on (stays black but becomes a dark grey with the backlight) for about 30 seconds, but nothing else happens, the screen turns off after those 30 seconds and its back to square 1.I have tried turning it on again without a sim card, or memory card, or both and still the same result

Just discovered my home screen is blank, so I thought I had accidentally changed/moved it when I turned on "Easy Mode" to check that out. Switched back to "Standard Mode", but found my home screen gone, with a blank page in it's place. I found some directions on how to move pages around, making one a home screen. I selected the page I wanted as home screen and moved it to the page where the white house icon is highlighted. I was done but noticed nothing had changed. Home page still blank, so I did it again. I find that whenever I try creating my home screen page by moving it to the highlighted white house icon, the white house icon shifts to the left, remaining blank.

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 have a problem with my phone, whenever i try to click on on of the two icons at the bottom of my screen ( Home screen/NOT MENU). It does not work, so i can not enter a new number or call someone, with out changing the home screen option. Can you tell me what the matter is.
I can still use my phone and call but the home screen, setting at the moment i really do not like. I know this may not be properly clear to understand, if you need more info just send me a message.

I recently got my new mini back from the local Nokia Care centre after repair (Screen broke). Before it went for repair it was perfect and did all I needed it to do. Now however I have a multitude of problems. Most of these I have resolved with a little bit of research. For some unknown reason when I try to add content to one of the three single app "windows" I get a very restricted selection of apps to add. ie Wlan scan is not on the list. If I edit one of the multi app windows, all of the apps are there, so it knows where the apps are..
Also I have another query. Is it possible to re-install the firmware as opposed to updating it ? It was on all of the previous Nokia's I had, but this does not seem to be an option with the N97 mini. I feel that my local Nokia centre is a bit short in the expertise department and I am somewhat loathe to take it back to them in case they screw it up completely.

I am in the messaging application, click to update mailbox and while it is trying to update the email application crashes and closes completely. I am returned to the home screen but now the shortcut I had for my email account inbox is gone, replaced by a shortcut to the music store. I had to manually fix this several times but then I discovered that just leaving it after a while the correct icon would reappear.

I really can't understand why can we only have 4 application shortcuts in the home screen. This should be configurable. Anyone else having the same thoughts?

I have changed the home menu today just messing about with my phone. When I went to put the home menu back to contacts bar it just goes back to basic (but with no tick to show it is selected). If I highlight contact bar in the menu then select options then set it says (no data). Any ideas. I just downloaded the last software last week and wonder if it is a bug.

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
please remove the sliders in the next update!

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.
