5800 3G issues

Hi guys,
I know it's a known issue for those of us living in New York and Chicago that we can't get 3G, but i've been searching around and I havent found any info on whether or not Nokia has managed to fix that problem yet? My 5800 is not picking up 3G here in NY and I was just wondering if there's a fix that i didn't manage to find?
Many Thanks!!

  • 5800 three issues

    Issue #1:  I deleted all of my music on my 5800 and reloaded all new music (about 2 gigs worth), I restarted the phone and then refreshed my library.  It added my new music but it did not delete the old music.  How can I delete these old files from my library.  
    Issue #2:  Every time I connect my phone in Mass Storage mode and sometimes in PC Suite mode, the Messenger says that it is Unable to Read the memory card and switches my text message saves to the C:, I then have to go back and change my message save location back to E: manually.  Is there a way to stop the phone from doing this.
    Issue #3:  After upgrading my 5800 to v40 my left headphone plays louder than my right.  I have tried different headphones and different songs and they all played the same.  I am push the plug all the way in.  It was working just fine before the upgrade.  Is anyone else having this same issue?
    These attention to detail issues get annoying when they pop up, Nokia (or Symbian) really needs to fix these issues.  Some of these issue carry over from update to update and thats not good business.  I would like to stay away from resetting my phone if at all possible...I have done so many resets, I have lost count and quite frankly my phone is setup the way I wont it and do not want to sit and set it up again. 

    1. Try to delete all songs then refresh library. Then add songs and refresh again. Tell me what happens. I havent encountered this before so I cant say it will really work.
    2. This is because the card is being locked to the PC for use. This is actually normal because the two OS cant access the same drive at the same time.
    3. Check MusicPlayer>Options>Settings>Balance It should be in the middle.

  • 5800 memory issues

    Hi all,
    When taking pictures with the 5800 I get the message (cannot acces memory card, phone memory used instead)
    I change memory options to E: Memory card but still get the message when taking pics.
    I can access the card fine from phone file manager and through PC.
    Have reformatted and tried second sd card.
    Games and some apps will not install on the sd card either but will on phones memory.

    It could be due to a faulty memory card. You said you've formatted it and still you have issues. Then chances are high that you would need a new one.
    As said by the poster above, you may try restoring factory settings (Type *#7780# at the stand-by screen. This will not result in loss of data). But if it's something to do with the memory card then it won't help.
    Cheers,

  • 5800: vibration issue

    Hi everyone, sorry for my very bad english (I'm italian...eheheh).
    I have an 5800 with 31.0.101 FW (it's the last update for my product code) and it has a strange problem related to the vibration of arriving sms or calls, not the touchscreen vibration.
    I noticed that after some hours that it's turned on, the vibration stops working, and this happens in silent mode (obviously with vibration activated) and in all other modes with a ring activated. To resolve this problem i have to restart the phone, turning it off and then on. But after some hours this happens again.
    I tried to do Hard Reset and reinstalling the firmware, but after 1-2 days same problem.
    The secretary of customer support in my town told me it's an hardware problem and the phone have to be sent to Nokia Italy for at least 2-3 weeks for repairing, but I think it's a software or firmware issues, otherwise the vibration will not work for nothing.
    What I have to do? Waiting for new fw update for my phone, hoping that this will resolve this problem, or sending to Nokia? I need help!!!! :-(

    Since you already tried a hard reset, try it without a memory card. It maybe that system files on the card are corrupt. However if nothing helps, you really have to send it.

  • 5800 camera issue

    When I try to use my Nokia 5800 camera it just says "Unexpected error occurred. Restart the phone." is displayed
    Can someone help me ?Thanks

    Does it do this the first time you use the camera after restarting the phone or does it allow you to use the camera once or twice before the problem occurs?
    Also try this:
    Menu > Settings > Phone > Application sett. > Camera > Image > Restore camera settings
    If that doesn't help try this:
    Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone mgmt. > Factory settings
    You shouldn't lose any data doing this but it will reset your settings.  It's wise to backup anyway.
    If that still doesn't solve it, try this:
    Dial *#7370#
    This will fully wipe and reset the phone so all data and programs will be lost.  Make sure you backup and test the camera before restoring your backup.
    If that still doesn't help then you have a hardware issue.  Contact the retailer or a nokia care point.

  • Nokia 5800 - calendar issue

    The alarm for calendar events on my phone has suddenly stopped working. Instead of my phone alerting me of a todo note, it says "alarm missed due to time change" (or words to that effect) when I open the calendar after the alarm was due.
    Multiple restarts haven't solved this issue. Anyone have any ideas?
    Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

    Yes, but I've had the phone for 2 months now and automatic time update has always been turned on, this problem only started a few days ago.
    I'll try turning auto update off and see if that helps, thanks

  • Nokia 5800 screen issue!!help!

    hey guys,i bought my nokia 5800 somewhere in december last year.and a couple of days ago,i began to realize that there were moving vertical lines across the screen.the lines are most visible when my light sensor(intensity) settings is set at 75%.it only came to my attention when i hard resetted my phone 2 days ago and the intensity settings was reverted to its default 75%(i've kept it customized at 25% until 2 days ago).the moving vertical lines are less visible in darker backgrounds and at a lower light intensity.i was just wondering-is this normal??has anyone been experiencing this?is there a fix to this?
    p/s:this issue is different compared to the previous 'slider+screen lines' issue. the moving lines on my screen is constantly present.locking and unlocking the phone bears no effect whatsoever on the lines.
    Thanks!

    I think I am having the same issue as yourself, it just started recently and I just bought it in April. As you stated this is not the other common screen issue where after unlocking the phone those bars show up across the screen. These are thin lines that cant be seen from far away, it is only when you look closely that they become obvious (they just keep moving vertically across the screen). I have a pure black theme on and I cannot notice them but when I use a lighter theme or use any application with any other color it becomes very apparent.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

  • 5800 Software Issue - Screen Fuzzing

    hey people! 
    I'm using a 5800XM and over the last few weeks it appears to have developed a software issue... it's not perminant its getting worse and worse!
    every time i lock the screen, then unlock it (doesn't seem to matter how long its been locked for), it will show a fuzzy screen. seems to show the correct colours eg: white and blue if i've left it on facebook, red and black when on the background etc...
    the only way i can fix this is by rebooting...
    i've wiped the phone, removed the memory card and even reset the device... still the same...
    FW Version 21.0.025 (up 2 date)
    any ideas?
    thanks... 

    The same thing happened to my 5800, at first it wasn't so bad and went back to normal but it gradually got worse and i haad to take it back. I have recentley had my phone back and they told me it needed a software update. Whilst it was getting fixed they updated my phone with the newest software and it works perfectly now, its like it was when it came out of the box!
    Hope this helps and you get it sorted.

  • 5800 XpressMusic issues

    I have the number stored in SIM and phone memory still when a person gives a call i can only see the number and not the "NAME" which i have stored. This is irritating.
    Other issue i have faced it gets stuch sometimes in touch screen when a call comes but luckily nokia provided 3 buttons.
    can you please help with the 1st issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have the classic duplicated number problem. The phone sees two entries with the same number so it doesn't know which to use.
    To get it to show the name you need to either delete the entry from the sim or delete it from the phone.

  • 5800 GPS issues

    Hello,
    I have bought my Nokia 5800 about a month ago, and since then I have used "Maps" quite extensively.
    Sometime last week I found out that GPS does not work anymore, as if it cannot process the signal.
    It shows that GPS is available but does nothing (positioning does not work).
    I have upgraded my "Maps" software just today, but it still does not work, either indoors nor outdoors.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    aGPS will give you a sat lock fairly quickly. Using only integrated GPS could take hours and then only lock on 2-3 sats. I think it is because the integrated GPS antenna is exceptionally weak. I have seen the same complaint is other forums, including the GPS forums. The only solution I have seen so far is to buy and attach somethng called a reradiating antenna. However, I don't see that being of much help except for use while driving.
    If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

  • 5800 email issue

    This has to be the buggiest phone ever!!!
    I have Nokia Email (@) installed for my personal email (4 accounts) and MfE for my work email (one account).  Everything was working just fine and for no apparent reason, I cannot open the email account (personal) that I had the Homescreen notification set to.  I can open the other accounts just fine but when I choose that particular account the app just closes.  I have tried selecting a different account for the notification and it seems to work fine, it's just that account.  It was working fine an hour ago and now it doesn't.  Nothing has changed in the last hour.  If it aint one thing it's another.  

    I think the issue is partly resolved.  I deleted the email address and set it up again and now it doesn't shut down the app when opening that mailbox.  But...now it doesn't seem to be receiving mail into that mailbox...I have sent several messages and even hit the send and receive button.  I confirmed that the messages are going in to the actual mailbox (web) but not to the phone.  Oh wait...now none of my accounts are working.  Just sent a message to all for accounts and none are working now.  The messages are in all for accounts (web) but none have updated on the phone.  Will try re-installing the app later.  There has to be light at the end of this tunnel...   Has anybody else had this problem?

  • 5800 Email Issue - Messages deleted when reconnect...

    Hi, I've recently become the owner of a 5800 and have set the phone to receive emails from my broadband ISP (Virgin media) via our home WiFi. I can download messages, read and send messages without any problems, but when I disconnect and then later reconnect to retrieve other message the ones on my phone disappear. The deletd email messages are available on the server as I can access them when I log on to my email account online. How can I stop this from happening?
    Thanks, Nick

    Can anyone help with this problem?

  • 5800 Application Issues

    Hi,
    Something strange has happened to my 5800, last week all of my text messages deleted themselves and the ringtone defaulted to the Nokia tune.
    Since then very few of the applications on my phone work correctly. The internal web browser works fine but Nokia Maps, Garmin Sat Nav and the Gmail client don't work properly.The applications all load but Maps and Garmin fail to obtain a GPS location and gmail doesn't download any emails. In addition, BBC iPlayer requires a reinstall every time I wish to use it but Google Maps works ok.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks!

    Erm...
    Go on to the main menu, then click settings, then click Application mgr, then click installation sett, then check if online certificate check is off if not change it to off.
    If this doesn't work then do this...
    There is also something else.
    go to settings then go on to phone and then on to application settings and you would be presented a list full of installed applications
    If none of these work then i recommed a hard reset/factory reset
    REMEMBER! back up your data

  • 5800 maps issue

    When i 1st got the phone I went on maps no problem, didnt really use it but just tested it.
    now when i need to do it i press maps from menu, it loads 90% then closes without error message.
    If i try access location from applications and I choose an address i entered before and want to show map of that it says 'unable to perform operation, no suitable application installed'
    any ideas?

    try removing the maps and download a new file from http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download
    Also download the Maps Loader to your computer and download the country maps you'd like to use.
    or just download Maps Loader and try loading some new maps.
