I started a backup of my N5800 over an hour ago. It finished "user files from phone memory", contacts, calendar, notes, messages, bookmarks in about 10 minutes. Then it started on "phone model-specific backup" (at 50% of the big progress bar). And hasn't progressed a pixel since then.I got fed up with watching "do not use or disconnect the phone during the operating", so I clicked "cancel". Then it asks me if I really want to cancel. I can then click the checkmark (green) and not hte red cross, and now 5 minutes later, it has not stopped. It is still at 50%, doing "phone model-specific backup". How long should I wait for it to backup my N5800? How long should I wait for the "cancel backup" button to react? 5 minutes seems that it should be possible for an operation to cancel. I'm a bit unfamilar with Windows. I'm a Linux user, so I may be a bit spoiled in that I expect a progress bar to update more than once an hour, or that a cancel button should work within 5 minutes.
due to several reasons it seems that I need to format my N5800 XM existing memory card but I have installed quite a lot of applications so recreating them would be quite a pain.The question is: is it possible to do a complete backup from the Nokia Ovi Suite program, format the memory card and then _restore_ all contents including memory card contents so it will be exactly as before?
After few months of using phone, more and more files are becoming corrupted...
my phone: Nokia 5800
firmware: 50.0.005
code: 0573860
memory card: original micro SD - Nokia 8GB class6
After few months of using phone, more and more files are becoming corrupted.It's mean your videos, your audio files and maps is no more usable. After formating memory card works everything OK, but only for while (few weeks or months).What I should to do? Still do memory card formats, or try to buy new memory card?Anyway my girlfriend has the same phone and she has the same problem. So its mean, probably all nokia 5800s has this BUG.Why nokia is not able to make one good phone model without bugs?
Recently my Nokia 5800 has had problems connecting to my computer through Mass Storage option. Will connect no problem through PC Suite but not as a USB Mass storage.Have re-downloaded the drivers and installed them again and still same problem.
I exported all the messgaes from my nokia5800 into a csv file using nokia ovi suite.Then i deleted all the messages from my mobile and again imported the messages.all the messges were imported to nokia ovi suite and then i synced ovi suite to mobile.But nothing happened.
I've always connected my nokia xpress music to the internet. But one day it didn't work, I didn't touch nothing. When I connect to a wireless its says nothing and the icon shows that it is connected, but in Truth its connected to none. And when I try to reconnect it it says close the active connection and when I try to do that it says that I'm not connected. And when I do this after a minute or 2 my phone turns off!
I'm a very happy owner of the world's worst mobile - Nokia 5800 - a smart phone with absolutely no reliability.So far it has helped me so much that, if I had my pockets full of pencils, I could eventually substitute them for the Nokia.Here are some simple everyday situations where the frustration of having a nokia kicks in really fast.
Few days ago: Situation: Must go from A to B by train. Problem: Don't know when train comes. Solution: Nokia 5800 web browser, train time table site. Obstacle: "Memory Full. Please go and jump out of your window" Solution II: Not using Nokia.
Two days ago: Situation: Three electricity counter readings must be submitted. Problem: No paper and no pen in pockets, only Nokia. Solution: Take a photo, simple as that. Obstacle: Tried to view the photo, but the media button randomly didn't work. Restarted and it works again. Now why would a media button randomly stop working?? Obstacle II: Phone is restarting for ages. Solution II: Not using Nokia. Use -- paper!!, simple as that.
Some time ago: Situation: Need to know what time is it. Problem: No watch on my hand, only Nokia in pocket. Solution: Unlock the keypad and see what time is it. Obstacle: On sliding the touch lock the screen goes black and the phone starts to vibrate and does not stop, making me embarrassed to the people standing by, because now I have vibrating **bleep** in my hands!!!! Solution II: Take out the battery, consider putting the phone in the trashbin, not using Nokia. Ask what time is to the old lady while Nokia restarts as the old lady crosses the WHOLE COUNTRY!!
Not so long ago: Situation: Must make an important phone call. Problem: People don't make phone calls by brainwaves, now do they? Obstacle:Made the phonecall, said "Hello" and <zappp>, no more phonecall, the phone randomly restarts. Now it never had been so bold before this.!! I thought it has a phone call protection against rebooting during a phonecall, but NOOOOO, it of course doesn't wooork. Solution II:Not use Nokia.
Yesterday: Situation: Insurance company must have sent me an invoice. Problem: Out of curiosity can't resist checking email while mobile. Solution: Open e-mail account, press the Connect button. Obstacle: The Connect button does not respond. Solution II: Press it harder, TWICE!!!! Obstacle: The screen fades out and the phone restarts. Solution III: Not use Nokia.
Before a week: Situation: Must find an address I don't know, and reach it. Problem: Don't know where it is. Solution: Use Nokia Maps, oh excuse me, OVI maps. Obstacle: The search returns no results. Now, how can you not find this??? Blahblah street 143 - what's there not to find?? Solution II: Not use Nokia, use Google Maps (definitely not on Nokia). Found it.!!
Long time ago, and guess why long... : Situation: Let's enjoy some great music on this not-nokia-sony-ericsson Bluetooth headset by using the ultra-fabulous NokiaTrashPress XMusicPerience, it's supposed to be great, isn't it? Solution: Pair Headset to Nokia 5800, and turn on the music player. Success!! - it works ow wowowowowowowwowow i'm so freakin' excited. Obstacle: The second track made no sound. Solution II: Check what's wrong. Obstacle II: The media player has shut down by itself. Solution III: Not use Nokia!!!!! And I could write many more of these..Now, I have performed countless hard resets, trying to optimize every little bit. SOO little applications installed!!Symbian platform brings a great idea within itself. But it just doesn't work on Nokia phones..Didn't Nokia invent this Symbian? Then why doesn't it work???And this has been so far my experience with any Nokia Symbian phone regardless of the price, regardless of the market segment, regardless of the phase of the moon.And I am very suspicious that the same is going to be with Symbian^3 5 7 9 whatever...I just don't care anymore...My next cellphone budget goes to either Apple or Windows mobile, Android, HTC or anything else that's not Symbian and not even close to a NOKIA, because Nokia it's just a parody of a cell phone, no wonder why the USA and Japanese market doesn't love Nokia, not just because most of them are very ugly, just because they don't work...
Few hours ago nothing was wrong with my phone. All of a sudden everything on my memory card was Deleted. I didn't know wat exactly happened so I tried to restart the phone, but bothing happened. I tried to remove the battery and put it back again , and still the same and now I have nothing on my phone.
I have a problem with phone music store applications. After i start music store i can't login or go to main page because when i press those buttons i get error "Music store: Unable to perform operation" Tried to do hard reset and update firmware again with no help. FW: 40.0.005. I think this problem came with this new V40 firmware or shortly after that when i lost email notification from shortcut homescreen.
I have just got my N5800 but one thing is driving me crazy - it randomly makes a "ching ching" noise and its very irritating - its just done it twice while I am typing this up. Is there some application that I have got open (ie checked and cant see any) or is there some kind of alert that I have forgot to turn off - either way its doing my head in. The alrm function seems to do what ever it wants, so far it will either got off on time or 3 mins late or just not at all - am I missing something ? Surely the alarm function cant be that complicated to set and get right?
I am restoring my new I phone 4S to the back up of my old phone and have a message on the phone screen saying "Restore in Progress" nothing else seems to be happening and it has been like this for over an hour. There are only about a dozen apps, 50 or so photos and messages and a few notes.
My 16GB 3GS is only about half full. Yet my phone has been connected here for 30+ minutes trying to sync and backup. I actually stopped the backup process with only about 10% on the progress bar after sitting there at 10% for at least 5+ minutes. Now it's continuing on with the sync process. You would think with USB 2.0 it would go faster than this. I also don't understand why it's having to update 157 songs in one of my playlists when those songs have not changed and were already on the phone.
I am unable to backup Blackberry Bold 9900. The Backup at Smart Card Option takes a long time to complete. I tried all possible solutions that I was able to find on a generic google search.
Just got a refurbished D2G, the Nav app takes a long time to long on > 10min sometimes. Anyone else having this issue? Called VZW up they claim that google pushed out an update which breaks Nav. I called BS, then he tried to blame it on the hurricane.I have been through 4 of these phones, all with different annoying problems, Getting tired of it.
My N95 8GB reboots at the final stage of backup during settings. I have reset to factory settings but no change. My PC uses Windows 7 and I have latest software on my phone and PC. I would appreciate help please.
after upgrading to nokia belle on my n8 when i tap on the image to send it via bluetooth or mail it takes long time for it give the options of bluetooth, mail or msg ...it shows processing for a long time ....which wasnt the case with nna....nokia any updates on tht????
Just bought myself the 5800 XM navigator edition.How long does it normally take to charge the battery for the first time? It seems to be fully charged after only 3 hours (though it was already a bit charged when i bought the phone)
I am a Nokia n8 user and I am pretty happy with it ( Wouldn't trade it for an Iphone ) . I am going in a trip soon and I would like to know if I can listen to Music on my N8 for around 6-7 hours without recharging. I am going to use Pioneer SE-M390 Headphones and I'd like to turn the volume very high ( Maybe Max ). Do you think my phone can handle it? I have recently deleted all widgets and turned off all background apps . With energy saving mode the phone survies decently a few days ( it simply stays unused ). Do you think I should better buy a MP3 Player? The ones I have been looking into are pretty expensive and I thought the phone might be good too since the sound is superb and has a lot of memory. Also during the camp I might be the "DJ" with the Radio FM transmitter. Plugged in with the charger would it be able to transmit continuously for 8 hours ( I dont want to burn it =D ). Further more I would also like to buy a MicroSD Card , a Sandisk Ultra 32gb ANDROID. What does the Android stand for? On Sandisk's site it says it is specially designed for Android phones. Does it mean I cannot use it with my N8 ( Belle OS ) ? I dont wanna spend 60$ for something useless. Some guys said I can "Format" the MicroSD to get rid of the "application for Android" located on the MicroSD.
Since my E71 was updated to the latest firmware (at a Nokia Service Center) around 6 months ago I have had a number of odd mail problems, which manifest themselves as follows: After an initial boot everything with mail and messaging works fine as expected. However at least once or twice a day the phone switches unpredictably into an odd mode with the following symptoms:
1) E-Mail key stops responding to short or long presses.
2) New e-mails and sms messages which arrive do not appear on the home screen as usual, though they may (or may not) appear as small icons in the top right corner of the screen............
I am facing problem with the navigator on my new E6 nokia. it takes too long time to connect to connect to satellite! Before i was using E72 it was taking around 1-2 min to connect,, but with my new E6 it takes more than 15 to 20 minutes to connect! Is it normal to take this long time? Can I do something to speed it up?
such app or utility that replicates the long press of menu button over n8 handset.That is to launch the running apps window or what some ppl call it multitasking window.I have been finding the long press idea a very incovenient ,so looking for an answer from the community as my knowledge is not even a drop in the ocean of information.
The entertainment function Voice command is great for parties and for placing calls to random friends and fiends alike from your contacts list. For day time and business use I would like the long right softkey to a more boring function like Contacts.How can I reassign the long-press right softkey?
I want to do a long (8 h+) timelapse witch my nokia n8, and i got one problem witch it, When my phone get 100% full, charger turn off and this will dont charge until i plug it out and in. What to do? I dont want to spend all day siting next to N8 and have fun witch charger.
While entering an SMS (text), when I reach a certain unknown number of written characters my N8 pops up message saying, 'Message type changed to multimedia msg.' There's-one-little-glitch: Where I live MMS service is - not - available! If I delete even one (1) character I get another pop up saying, 'Msg type changed to text msg.'
Nokia's solution: When the N8 tries to convert to mms go to Options > Sending Options > msg type > Text. Nokia's solution fails immediately after pressing 'Options' because there is NO 'Sending Options' option to select! How - can I disable/remove/get rid of this unwanted/forced MMS change over so I can write and send as many characters as I want/need in SMS (text).
I have problem with my "Nokia Browser" in my "Asha 200".The browser is unable to open too long links.(links containing more than 40-50 characters in it).I am unable to download movies...
Like the title says, will the battery die faster and need a quicker replacement if I keep the phone connected to the charger for long times? What exactly happens when the phone says "battery full, unplug charger to save power" and the white charging indicator goes off? Does the phone software automatically stop the charging process?Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)
There's a problem with my phone.. when i restart the phone.. the motion sensor doesn't work for a long time.. it only works for apps.. how to solve it?
