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'm yet to have this phone delivered but I'm looking forward to it. I was thrille dto hear that Nokia do updates which can also enhance this phone's cameras which is really cool. My question is if Nokia could make an update that gives the phone Face Detection, Smile Detection, and all those other modern camera features? It seems unlikely to me but I was just wondering if they could do this, and if they, can they do it soon.
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.
My Nokia 5800 XM (firmware v21), is going from general to silent profile automatically every weekday at 09:00 AM. I don't understand how it happens as I didn't set auto profile or whaever to anywhere!
my nokia 5800xm is getting stuck when i put on the memory card. the memory card is also not reading. when i put other memory cards it works(the phone and the memory card works)
Though I have not saved any application in the phone memory, it shows that I am left only with 48mb of phone memory.Can anyone tell me how to check what is using up my phone memory?
After upgrading my 5800XM to v40 and upgrading to the latest PC suite and software updater versions on my PC, my phone no longer connects with the computer with the error message "cannot authenticate phone" with bluetooth. If I try USB connection, the OS crashes while trying to install phone software (windows 7 pro, Dell Inspiron 6400). I have uninstalled and re-installed all nokia software on the PC and still got the same results. Even without PC suite, the phone does not connect through the PC bluetooth anymore.
I got Bitpim to recognize the serial and modem ports for Samsung as available but,when I try to goto file system with the serial port, it shows the folder icon as open but it doesn't do anything. I tried to use "Other CDMA Phone" for detection. If I try the Modem port, it says "Retrieving." like it's attempting to open it but, soon, it stops and is in the same spot as the serial port.
I have a 5230 (v10.0.071) and I'm trying to connect it to my PC.I've used the most recent versions of software updater, PC Suite and the Ovi software from this site but my phone remains "undetected". Windows 7 detects the device but fails to install it, which isn't something that surprises me.
Every now and then the pop up menu to select a network connection (ie. search wlan...) keeps appearing on my home screen. Is there a way to disable this? It is getting quite annoying. I have set the 'Show WLAN availabiliy' to Never in the WLAN settings but it still appears every now and then, probably when a network is nearby Im guessing.
Is it possible that the safety camera detection isn't included in maps 3.03.I have a Nokia 5230 and the free navigation ( no licence needed) and maps 3.03 installed.I have downloaded the maps and navigate always off-line.When a navigate I get the announcements that i drive to fast but i don't have the safetycamera (speedcontrol) detection. Normaly they are downloaded at the same time as the map.Last remark : i live in Belgium, so is it pôssible that the camerafunction doens't work here.Is there a solution to install it on my mobile.
I bought an N8 shorty after it was released. Slowly over the past three or four months, the touch screen detection has been slowly becoming inaccurate. The phone detects that I am pressing slightly above where I am actually pressing. Is there any solution to this problem?
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
