Nokia Nseries :: 5800XM - Use Keyguard Switch To Unlock?
May 12, 2010
Just this afternoon, when I try to do anything on my 5800, it says use keyguard switch to unlock screen and keys. I slide the keyguard switch, it says the same.I also have a snall key icon at the top of the screen.
XM5800, Phone won't start up properly, doesn't load after the Nokia Screen. Basicall I turn it on and it goes the Nokia screen and then my background pops up but then nothing else happens, if I try to press button, the "Use keyguard switch to unlock screen and keys" message pops up, and nothing happens if I try to unlock it.
I have the X6. The phone rings and I unlock the keyguard using the slider on the side of the phone and the phone stops ringing. Then in order to answer the phone I press the green button on the bottom left of the phone or I press answer call on the screen and then I can speak which I suppose sounds fair enough. But I just think that something is wrong because surely the phone should continue to make the 'ringing' noise until I actually answer the call rather than going mute just because I have unlocked the keyguard.. Am I doing something wrong or is this just how the phone works?
I just bought a new memory card for my 5800XM, and tried to use back up/restore from Nokia Suite to move the existing messages, apps etc to the new card. Somehow it didn't work as I expected. While the everything was restored to the new card, I can't run the apps (there's a key symbol on them, I suspect that means they are locked), and it says I have no messages.
I've been experiencing poor battery life on my Nokia 5800 XM recently. Sometimes on a full charge I could only get a day to a day and a half of standby time with minimal usage (2-3 texts, no calls and 5 photographs). I put this down to an old battery and ordered a new one.In the meantime we went to my parents-in-law and the battery lasted 5 days on a full charge including a reasonable amount of web browsing via WLAN.Got back home and the battery died a couple of days later despite being fully charged.
Put in a brand new battery, charged it up and used the phone - 2.5 days later it was dead (minimal texts and a couple of photos). Charged it again - 2 days standby before dead.Downloaded the power profile app - everything seemed to be fine. The phone idled nicely on standby with minimal power drain.Then I used the bluetooth and everything became clear. After connecting to OVI for a minute or two, downloading my photos then closing OVI and disabling the bluetooth on the phone, I noticed my power consumption didn't go back down. I was getting regular peaks of around 150ma and the battery life was considerably reduced.
If I left the bluetooth disabled and power cycled the phone, it would settle down to minimal usage. The moment bluetooth was enabled, the problem reocurred.I then backed the phone up, totally wiped the sd card and reinstalled from scratch.Exactly the same problem - fine until BT enabled then even when disabled, the phone started drawing excess current on idle.
I did a hard reset on my 5800XM and now my java apps doesnt work because i lost the Java Runtime. I tried to install some versions (beta) that i found and the problem is more or less solved but that versions had bugs etc, are not stable.. how can i get the stable version (no beta version) of the firmware or whatever?
Nokia 5800xm can't connect to internet or ovi store.Just got my phone back after a Firmware reset. Now it can't connect to internet or ovi store. It keeps coming up with Invalid Server Name.
Recently, I've found this cellphone lying around in my brother's house, with the screen broken. He said it was a great phone till the screen cracked out of nowhere (touch area intact, lcd glass intact), and he didn't bother fixing it, bought the **bleep** bitten fruit phone.anyway, I brought it back to life two or three days ago. A new batt (actually, two - the normal battery and the clock's batt), a screen (cheap nowadays) and a lot of WD40 on the board, to flush out the oxidation. Had the v20 FW and I've updated it OTA to v60.0.003 (released 09-22-2011)
I have 4 contacts on my contacts bar. When I click one of the pix, I get a list of all the events relating to that contact - great, that's as it should be. But when I click on one of the other three, there are no events shown - the message is "(no communication events)". But I know there should be some, because I remember calling them yesterday and if I check the call log I can see the call there. If I then do something with one of the three (send a text or call them), then as if by magic the missing lists of events appear. It's always the same one that's complete initially, and always the same three that seem to need a reminder to behave themselves.if there's anything I can do to get all comms events showing all the time?
This is the 3rd time I connected my Nokia 5800xm in Mass Storage Mode.. and after isconnecting (thru' Safely Remove Hardware..everytime) the Folders are in a Mess. pplications are shifted from its original folders to don't ask where..(Oh!) ..I could re-organise them back without much trouble.. but why is this happening? Is there any way to stop this ?
I'm a relatively new user of the Nokia Nuron and I just wondering if there is a way to unlock a Nokia Nuron without using the switch on the side.Maybe there is a good app that people are using for that feature?
Is there a way of that being my default method for unlocking my phone, as I currently have a Device lock kick in after 5 minutes idle, then I have to flick the switch and type in the 5 digit key. I'd much rather just do the swipe. How can I set this as the default option to greet me when I flick the switch to wake up?I have the device lock on as quite often the screen becomes active on it's own, and messes up my widgets etc.
I recently hard reset my phone & installed the latest Nokia software (60.xxxx).(I could never understand why the memory was so low before as all my apps were installed to the memory card)Anyway, since then the only things I've installed to the phone memory are Mobbler, Nokia photo sharing & the upgrade to Nokia Store.This dropped memory to around 56MB.However it seems to drop further gradually for no reason I can see - and is now down to 50.8MB !
whenever i start some of my phone applications, like web, make a call, receive a call, start maps, my phone automatically switches off even if the battery is full. And when i restart my phone, it switches off again after displaying the nokia logo or just after the main screen is displayed. The same process continues repeatedly. Is my N8's battery not working correctly?
Took my n8 to the local Nokia care center for repair under warranty, received phone back said they flashed phone software and whilst in the shop the phone switched itself off. This was the problem it was sent in for repair. Now they say its the battery that needs to be replaced. phone will not switch on again.
my n8 screen blank when i switch on...but i can sense my touch screen works...n my menu button light on when i switch on... but my screen blank doesn't show anything...
Yesterday i tried to switch on my 5230 but the button failed... I went to nokia store (Larisa, Greece) and they asked me for 25 euros to fix it someone tell me if can switch on the telephone without the on/off button working ??
If I try and switch an alarm off when it is rining, I am unable to do so using the touch screen.I have to press the red button, then go into the alarms and physically remove the alarm.This never happened with v30 (the last firmware I had)How can I stop it from happening?
Is it me or is "Swipe to unlock" rather slow as missing tap to unlock already?Prefer not to use spring loaded "lock-key" as probably first component to fail!f I've helped in any way, a click upon the white star at bottom right of screen would
the automatic keyguard on my 5130 stopped functioning after the battery emptied and the phone turned off.No matter to wich value i set the keyguard to it wont lock the keypad.
I recently bought a used N8 to replace my old one that got stolen, although it works perfectly, I've had a couple of occasions where it has switched itself off overnight, & I cannot switch back on until putting on charge, despite the phone being well charged the day before.Is it possible that an app I've downloaded could be causing the battery to discharge overnight?
I have had an X6 for about a month now, and the slider keyguard on the phone had broken off. The phone is now in a permanent state of saying 'use keyguard to unlock keys and screen'. Obviously I cant because it doesn't work!!
I have tried leaving it switched off for 15 mins, and restating it. This lets me restart the time and date but then locks once the phone opens up. I have tried a drawing pin and paper clip to slide the keyguard without the keyguard but to no avail.
Is it possible to create a "profile" (or similar) which lets the phone recognise that it is plugged in (or perhaps paired with an incar bluetooth device) and therefore over-rides the keyguard behaviour? When I'm driving I use the 5230 as a music player, and it is very frustrating that it locks in the same way as it does when it is in my pocket.I always have the 5230 plugged in / charging to an in-car charger when I'm in the car, so having the screen permanently lit would be good.I can't see a way of making the screensaver / keyguard change depending on profiles. Perhaps there is an app that does it?
