Nokia :: N5800 Symbian Doesn't Work Well On Phones

Aug 2, 2010

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...

Nokia :: N5800 How Long Does Backup Take?

Feb 25, 2010

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.

Nokia :: 5800 Camera Doesn't Work / Key Dialer / Contacts Icon On Home Screen Don't Work

Mar 22, 2010

Problem 1:

The camera doesn't work. I open the camera application with both methods (button on side and icon in apps) but it does the red dot thing in the corner for about 4-6 seconds then disappears and applications tells me the app is running. I try to go to the app but it wont go on it.

Problem 2:

The green key, dialler and contacts icon on the home screen do not work at all. I have no way of opening my dialler as there is no option for it.

I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 last week. Please be aware the problems were both there BEFORE i made the update and are still here after the update.Is there any way of doing this without soft/hard resetting. Also, does soft/hard reset mean you lose the data in an app (eg your high scores in a game like bagatelle)?

Nokia :: N5800 Backup Restore Possible After Formatted Memory Card?

Jun 29, 2010

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?

Nokia :: N5800 - Option For Turning Off Random Noise And Alarm

Jan 20, 2010

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?

IPhone 4s :: IOS 7.1.2 / Sound Only Work With Head Phones

Sep 10, 2014

I recently discovered that my iPhone 4s has not been functioning the way it should be. My sound and speaker are not working. I can't even adjust my volume unless I have my headphones. I can't hear my incoming calls and they can't hear me. This happens every so often and its been happening for the past two days. Is there anyway of fixing it? My phone is no longer under Apple's warranty.

HTC One M9 :: Original Headphones Not Working On Device But Work On Other Phones?

Dec 1, 2015

I was trying to listen to music as usual using the orginal headphones that came with the M9, however it did not detect it and the sound played through speakers instead. So I tried them in three different phones and they worked just fine, so then I thought it was the jack socket, but I tested two different headphone (Phone and computer) and by some miracle both worked. So now I'm seriously confused whose fault is it? The headphones or the socket?

I managed to get the headphones working on the M9 for about 20 seconds before they stopped working again, I did it by pressing harder and fiddling with the cable, but now it won't work at all, despite the other headphones working just fine.

Nokia Navigation :: C5-03 GPS Doesn't Work

Nov 24, 2011

I bought a new C5-03 a week ago, I installed Nokia Suite and connected my phone to download and install maps for my country (Morocco).To use free GPS I followed instructions on a topic already published here, by selecting Integrated GPS only and disabled positioning server on Application settings and also disconnecting from the net. Afterwards I used Integrated GPS and finding my position was succesful. I saved it as My Home and was happy I had a functionning GPS Phone finally. A few minutes later I tried to use my GPS but it couldn't find my position.I don't understand what happened, but it already worked once for a minute before I stopped it. Why isn't working again?What are the default settings for Integrated GPS to connect without using internet? To make sure if something isn't OK.
