5500 Sports Mode with GPS

I'm using the sports mode on the 5500 with a bluetooth GPS and have concerns over the accuracy of the distances travelled. It regularly gives a figure 10% higher than that expected but I don't know whether the problem is with the phone or the GPS. I'm using the miniature GPSlim 240 supplied with the Navicore SAT NAV product but wondered if anyone else had similar experiances with other GPS products.

Strangely enough, i found the pedometer function to be quite accurate... but only on level ground. When hillwalking, it really doesn't take the gradient into consideration. (Especially not for the calorie burn part)

    Hi i have just bought a Blue ant light hands free car kit and my Nokia 5500 sports will not connect to it. i have tried everything, the phone does detect the blue ant devise if you search from data transfer but of course it wont send data to it. Can some one help?

  • 5500 sport model

    my 5500 got busted and cannot be repaired anymore... is there a newer model with the same features? or an upcoming model close to the 5500 sport?

    everything about it... maybe a slimmer version with all the same features, even the keypad color indicating when it is in sports or music mode is good maybe more cutomization for the light colors would be good and it fits your grip perfectly... maybe additional features like the colourise theme in the 7610 supernova would make it better... and a 3.2 megapixel camera... of course the text to speech and the tapping features for shifting modes should also be included... i wish there is an upcoming model that is very similar to the 5500...

  • 5500 sport,Antenna Coupler and Holder incompatabil...

    I have a Nokia 5500 sport which is causing some grief in relation to finding and appropriate antenna coupler and a suitable phone holder. I am wanting to install a CK- 7W car kit with an external broomstick antenna but am limited I think to a universal holder CR-39 because of the phone. I already have the CK-7W but need some advice as to which cradle I can get that will support an antenna coupler and what model of antenna coupler I should purchase. The dealer has sold me an AX-15s coupler and a CR-39 holder but the two do not match!
    thanks in advance

    The only company which i know of that do a cradle for the 5500 sport is THB Bury, but you will have to buy a full new car kit for this not a ck-7w, although it dose have antenna connection and charging.

  • 5500 Sport - Volvo V 70 (2008) handfree set blueto...

    I bought a Volvo V70 Model 2008 with built in bluetooth handfree kit. According to my Volvo Dealer the newest software is installed. My Nokia 5500 Sport connects without any problems but the phone book list on the car device remains empty (it works with my wifes blackberry and some other nokia phones i.e 2630). Does anyone have some helpful tips?

    Car manufacturers are now building complex car kits into their vehicles.
    One of the functions, is that it pulls the phone book data from the phone via bluetooth.
    A lot of the Nokia E and N series, Symbian S60 handsets, or Ns40s do not carry the required bluetooth profile in their bluetooth stack.
    The phone is missing the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) that allows the car to pull data from the phone.
    Why the phones do not carry the profile is unknown. What is known is that using the Nokia 810 car kit downloader software, you can partly restore some of this functionality.
    The information is here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881
    You'll need to delete the pairing in the handset and the car, then install the application.
    When it is installed start the application, and then re-pair the phone to the radio, this may then copy your contacts into the radio, be paitent, as it can take a few minutes to copy and setup.
    It may copy the phone book over, but the Missed Dialled and Received calls may not work.
    I have tested this with an Audi S3, A4, and A6 on a Nokia N82 and N95.
    The Nokia E71, appears to have the profile and functions correctly with an Audi car kit.
    Installing the 810 downloader only restores phone book functionality, there are some software combinations on car and phones that work without the downloader.
    It may also be possible for your car manufacturers franchised dealer to be able to update the software in your car so that additional features are available, they may charge for this service. Also updating software in the phone may also help, as Nokia may see fit to add the profile if they are able.
    Some N95 users report that the downloader is not required, I have tried this in my S3 with a Vr30 N95-1 and it does not work at present.
    The workaround only resolves the problem with the phone book. Problems such as random disconnecting which also is reported, are beyond the scope of this article.

  • 5500 Sport Firmware no longer in NSU

    Hi,
    According to NSU and "can I update" link, there are no longer software updates for 5500 sport.
    I have no nokia care point near enough to travel too.
    I have version 03.14 05-07-06
    Can anyone tell me if there's anywhere else I can get the latest firmware?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi acenry,
    I too have just got my 5500 back from repairs (with the new 3.18 firmware put on), although I sent mine in because my silent/general profile # button didn’t work.
    So far I haven’t found my number buttons to come unstuck (I have had the black/silver 5500 since late September), although this could be down to the fact that I'm not a heavy user… I just press a few buttons now and then!
    It must be said though that Nokia has definitely got a problem on their hands by not getting the glue/keypad issue sorted (perhaps a product recall would be in order to replace all the “old style” keypads?)
    As for the browser issue, I find that if I go into “Web” under “My Own”, then I get the following message:
    “Web: unsupported content type”
    Although I am with Orange and it connects using the “Orange Internet” settings (perhaps they are causing it?), I do find though that I don’t have a problem (at least nothing I have found yet) if I visit a site (I have only gone to a couple but they seem to be alright, no error messages!)
    I am hoping that either the keypad will hold out for the year (as I'll upgrade again then) or that it will fall off before the 6 month “consumables” warranty runs out in March ’07.
    Hope this helps Harv (theenigma)

  • Disable training in 5500 Sport

    hello all,
    I've recently bought a nokia 5500 sport and i noticed that the training application keeps starting every time i boot my phone.
    There is no point of that since i never use it, so i was wondering if there is any way to uninstall the application or disable the automatic startup.
    I tried to find the application files and delete them using a file explorer, however i couldn't find any...
    any help would be much appriciated.

    Hey man! Look there is one possible thing that you can do, plug your phone to PC (using DATA Cable), and chose one of three modes (excepts nokia mode)! Hope this helped ж)
    Thanks!

  • Nokia 5500 sport-lacking in features?

    I just upgraded from a 5140i to a 5500 sport and in doing so tried to copy my contacts from the SIM to the phone. Not only do you have to do this individually, contact by contact (or have I missed something), but it does not copy the whole business card, preferring to set up a new contact for each line of the business card. Irritating at least if you have 200 entries on your card! Is there any way of overcoming this?
    Secondly, there is no way of putting a reminder to 'call' a contact into the calendar as there used to be on the old phone. Useful, as you could call the contact as soon as the reminder prompted you.
    Thirdly, the letters on the screen are tiny! At least there was an option to double the font size in the old phone (in 'contacts' - again! ).
    Fourthly, there seems to be no 'timed' facility for setting a profile, useful if you go into a meeting for a period and come out and forget to switch to 'General' again.
    Fifthly, calendar 'anniversaries' cannot be set up as date specific ie birthdays are now just marked as a reminder, without telling you how old the person is as there is no way of inputting the birth-date.
    Sixth. Autolock operates on all profiles, it would be better to be able to choose which profile to apply it to.
    If anybody has any suggestions about my comments I woud be interested to read them and find some fixes.

    Hey, have the same phone and gps module and having problems connecting to gps satellite. Pairing the two seems ok - green and blue light flash but am getting no white light, just wondering how did you get yours working? thanks.

  • The 50D has a sports mode. What is the same mode on the 7D

    I shot sports on my 50D using the sports mode.  What mode do you shoot sports on usint the 7D?

    Shooting in Sports mode is a convenient way to avoid learning how to do it right. It just uses a built in program that assumes some variables will always be similar so it sets the camera to capture action using that program & light meter readings. Unfortunately different sports require different settings to capture them properly, which is why more advanced cameras ignore those modes. Let me explain that plus I'll direct you to an article I wrote which should help you get a handle on the settings.
    Sports & Action are one in the same when it comes to the camera settings but the shutter speeds used need to match what's considered a good photos of that activity. In motorsports we want to freeze the car or bike etc, blur the background & more importantly the wheel & tire to show speed. Freeze all of that & it looks like the car or bike etc is just parked on the track. The same for shooting prop planes, they need prop blur if they are flying through the air. The reverse is true for poeople playing sports (in general) so you use a faster shutter speed & freeze everything in the frame. Each activity is different so it's important to learn what looks correct & then set the camera to get that result PLUS learn how to pan SMOOTHLY.

  • Nokia 5500 sport RM 86 - character reduced support...

    Hello folks,
    I bought 5500 sport gray, branded for operator Orange France.
    I was disatisfied with it, and change product code to Balkans.
    I got Serbian language.
    Product code is: 0533823.
    And with NSU, reinstalled firmware version 4.60.
    I set serbian for writing language, then turned on character reduced support.
    However, character support for Serbian does not work at all.
    When I type our special coded characters such as: č, ć, ž, š and đ, number of remaining characters automaticly falling from 160 to 69.
    I was curius and changed product code to Euro1, and character reduced support worked.
    I back to balkans code, and still does not work...
    I really like t9, and I cannot write SMS messages...
    Experts, please, tell me, I found 12 product codes for Balkans but dont know which to put in function to character reduced support work...
    Thank you verry much.

    Talking about product code changes is prohibited in this forum. It is unofficial and is grounds for Nokia to refuse to repair or service your phone in any way.

  • Abominal Voice dial - 5500 Sport

    The automatic "recognitition" of contacts is virtually unworkable, as it doesn't read contacts in the same way as I speak.
    I think I speak quite conventional English, and have even tried to speak with the atrocious intonation of the auto- voice TAG. All is useless.
    Is there anyway that I can record my own voice tags, or download software to do this? Otherwise, has anyone found a method to defeat the communication barrier, and make voice dialling work?

  • Sx280 video sport mode

    The fullHD 1080@60p video mode is screaming for a sport mode on SX280,
    modern tvs are at last really fast in terms of motion resolution, 60p would
    be much much clearer if shutter speed could go way beyond 1/60s. [like 1/500, 1/1000]
    The SX280 keeps the shutter slow, in order to get low noise, but with video, motion clarity is far more important than low noise. Motion gets blurred, if not recorded in the brightest sunshine, with shiny objects.
    Is there a wishlist at Canon? For the next firmware update, I would vote to put a "sport mode" [shutter speed or ISO adjustment] to movie mode, just like it is in camcorders.

    Read the manual.  I no longer have a 280 but I recall you may have to disable image stabilization or change some kind of mode if you are panning video.  The camera thinks your panning is shaking camera.
    Powershots: A80, SD1300is, SX280 (returned)

  • 5500 Sport not responding afetr a failed update

    I tried to update my 5500 sport this morning and it failed about 2/3rds of the way through and now it won't turn on! Can anybody help me?

    I think that is what caused it, judging by the way I'm getting the ding dong, dong ding every coupe of seconds with the phone plugged in now.
    When I tried the first time the phone froze an the updater told me it had lost the connection, so I started it again. Then when the updater told me it had lost the connection for a 2nd time the phone was dead.
    Yes I think that the phone lost its usb connection but the cable wa never unplugged.

    just been given a 5500 sport as a work phone people can only hear me when i am wearing my bluetooth earpiece, with the handset alone i am silewnt to callers and to people i am calling i can hear an echo of myself very loudly

    its probably the phone, try calling someone different and see if that works, if it doesn't your microphone is probably blocked with something, check if its not dusty or the other option is taking it to a nokia service centre.
