5800 alarm problem

My phone has a problem with the alarm, it doesn't ring at the right time, sometime 2 min. late, sometime 15 min. late & sometime even 30 min. late.
I have upgraded the firmware of my phone from v21 to v31 formatted the memory card & the hard reset the phone before update & after update.
It was working properly before the firmware update, is this a problem in the new firmware, if so it needs to be fixed as soon as possible, cause I depend on my mobiles alarm to wake up fro office (currently using my wife phone fro that purpose)

The point is to change it and put something else there. Altering the snooze time has been known to put things like this right.
FWIW, I never had problems like this on V21 but I'm now plagued with them on V30 and then V31. The alarm goes off at the wrong time, the phone exits timed profiles late if at all, and scheduled backups happen only randomly. The firmware is buggy, there's no denying that.

  • 5800 alarm problems with v40 firmware

    After doing the update to v40 my alarm does not work properly (on both my 5800's), when the alarm goes off and the stupid orange and red bars come up saying snooz and stop they do nothing ! I hit them and the alarm just keeps going and going, I have to hit the red menu button and it goes to snooz mode, is there a way to revert back to v31 as I really do not like this newer v40 firmware.

    You have got to be kidding me. Everybody else was complaining about the keyboard not switching to full qwerty when rotated now you are complaining why it does that. Its not dumb, its called market request. And I like it better actually. I hate the landscape alphanumeric, and I know a lot would agree with me. Its not intuitive enough, the lansdscape alphanumeric.
    The connecting to wireless network is probably due to a messaging application your wife has on the phone. Its a normal thing since messaging applications like that do that since they are meant to be always connected to the web.

  • 5800 Wifi Problems

    I know this has been mentioned a few times - but reading them does not help me:
    I have a wifi network set up at home on a Netgear Router.  I have a few things connected to it via wifi and not had any problems.
    My network is set up with a hidden SSID, mac address filtering and defined IP addresses for all the mac addresses so when each device is attached it always gets the same IP address.
    I have entered the mac address of my 5800 no problems there:  However,  when I try and connect the 5800 to the internet through my wifi I get nothing.
    I have tried using the wireless wizard which says the connection is made, my password is correct - but I just cannot connect to the internet through my wifi?
    Any suggestions?  My phone has the latest firmware - just cannot get a wifi connection at home

    If the MAC Address is showing in the list of connected devices, then I suspect that it is not a problem with the MAC filtering.
    With regards to DHCP, this is the system that allocates an IP address (and other information) to devices connecting to your network. Check on your wireless router settings, there should be something that says DHCP is enabled or not. If DHCP is not enabled, then your device will not be able to acess anything on the network without manually entering the IP information.
    If DHCP is not enabled, try to enable it and see what happens then.

  • Missed a flight due to Alarm Problem!

    I don't know why apple didn't send out any warning messages to users about this issue. Apple really upsets me!

    No, January 1st is NOT when the i Phone alarm problem hit -- Apple has known about this problem since it first showed up on iPhones in New Zealand in October. see this Apple Insider report from last November:
    "The new support document [<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542>]*, published on Wednesday [11/03/10], comes days after Apple made headlines with an iPhone bug that caused repeating alarm clocks to go off late across Europe. The issue occurred because of a change from daylight saving time, and could repeat itself in the U.S. on Sunday when America concludes daylight saving.
    Apple's documentation notes that users can resolve the issue by setting the repeat interval on an alarm to "Never." If users reset their alarm every day, the daylight saving bug will not affect them.
    The support note says that after daylight saving ends in the U.S. on Nov. 7, users will be able to set their alarms to repeat again. The iOS issue affects the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G, as well as the fourth-, third- and second-generation iPod touch models.
    In October, the same bug caused alarm clocks in New Zealand to go off an hour early. Apple said it was aware of the issue and had already developed a software fix, but it has not yet been released.
    This week, Apple released the golden master of iOS 4.2, the next software update for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, to developers. Golden master status suggests that the software is finalized and a release to the public is imminent. It's possible that Apple could release the software update before this Sunday, allowing users who update their iPhone to iOS 4.2 to avoid the daylight saving bug."
    *Apple Support doc: <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> posted November 3, 2010, which said:
    "Symptoms
    In some regions, shortly before or after the daylight saving time (DST) change, repeating alarms created in the Clock app may work incorrectly.
    Products Affected
    iPod touch (2nd generation), iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3GS
    Resolution
    To resolve this behavior for existing alarms, set the repeat interval to Never. You will need to reset these alarms for each day you need them.
    After November 7th, 2010, you can set your alarms to repeat again"
    NB: This Apple Support doc was posted 11/03/10, and has not been updated since.
    But the problem didn't "fix itself" on 11/07/10, after the DST change, and it didn't fix itself today, January 3, 2011 -- Apple's next promised date that the iPhones would "fix themselves," -- as both my daughter in CT, and my son-in-law in KC, KS can attest: their iPhone "wake-up" alarms both went off an hour late, in different time zones.

    iPhone alarm clock glitch: Still not working; iOS bug FAIL
    By Richi Jennings. January 3, 2011
    Despite Apple's promise that it would fix itself by today, the iOS alarm clock glitch is still making pomaceous owners oversleep. iPhone and iPod Touch alarms stubbornly persist in not working due to yet another bug with alarms. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers rub their eyes in disbelief.
    From SkyNews, 01/03/11
    An Apple spokeswoman released a statement to Macworld on Jan. 2 saying it was aware of the problem and that the alarm on the £499 ($773) handset would begin functioning normally again Monday.
    However, the firm has yet to release a further statement on the problem.

    "Apple said yesterday that the failure of its clock app only happens when you set a one-time alarm, and it will somehow fix itself on January 3.
    "We have made a call and sent an e-mail into Apple asking why this happened."
    From PC Magazine: <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374971,00.asp>:
    "iPhone Alarms Still Silent On January 3 "Self-Fix" Date"
    "Just two days ago, we reported about a frustrating glitch for those using various permutations of iOS 4 on Apple's iPhones—specifically, an annoying bug that was preventing one's mobile alarm from ringing on either day.
    "The bug allegedly only affected single alarms set for either January 1 or January 2. According to Apple itself, the company was aware of the issue and was advising users of a crafty workaround—setting recurring alarms for either day, which would bypass the issue for whatever reason. And according to said Apple spokesperson, the bug would allegedly go away on its own come January 3.
    Or so we all thought.
    "Reuters is now reporting that some iPhone users are indicating that the alarm issue persists, a claim that's being slowly backed up by affected users' Twitter posts."

    "iPhone alarm problems persist
    By Hayley Tsukayama
    Call it Y2K-11. When a bug kept iPhone and iPod touch alarms from sounding on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, Apple suggested that those having trouble should set recurring alarms, and that the alarms would fix themselves by Jan. 3, the first work day of 2011."

    iPhone alarms hit by New Year glitch
    Setting New Year single alarms was to no avail
    A glitch on Apple's iPhone has stopped its built-in alarm clock going off, leaving many people oversleeping on the first two days of the New Year.
    Angry bloggers and tweeters complained that they had been late for work, and were risking missing planes and trains.
    Apple has acknowledged the problem and says it will be fixed by 3 January.
    The reason has not been given but the glitch appears to affect single alarm settings on the iPhone 4 and earlier models with software updates.
    “According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people”
    Jonathan Fildes
    BBC Technology reporter
    A similar problem hit the iPhone alarm when the clocks went back in November, again causing many users to be late for work or for transport arrangements.
    "We're aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said in a statement quoted by Macworld.
    "Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."
    'Two days too late'
    "BBC Technology reporter Jonathan Fildes says the problem is embarrassing for Apple, not only because of previous problems that came to light when the clocks changed, but because the company prides itself on the simplicity of use of its products.
    "This seems like another simple error, but it cannot afford to have too many before its reputation becomes tarnished, he says.
    "Apple should have learnt from that example and seen this one coming, he adds. According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people.
    "More than 1.7m people around the world had bought iPhone 4 handsets by June 2010, in what was the company's most successful product launch."
    DEAR APPLE DISCUSSION GROUP MODERATORS:
    This is not a rant, I'm simply reporting the news regarding the situation with the iPhone Alarm function as it stands this morning, 01/03/11. People claiming that this was a new problem as of 01/01/11 are simply wrong, as your own TS doc <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> of November 03, 2010 clearly attests.
    It would certainly be helpful to know the latest Apple timetable for the iPhone alarm problem to "fix itself," or if Apple has managed to come up with any workarounds, other than the third-party alarm clock apps that are available for the iPhone.
    Best of luck.

  • Vivaz alarm problem

    Ok so i bought a new Vivaz and because of my working hours i need 2 daily alarms. My problem is even though i press the stop key the alarm will repeat itself at random intervals, sometimes after 15 minutes other times after 37 or 23 minutes, one day the alarm repeated itself after 4 hours and 22 minutes i looked in the settings but i didn't find anything, i even reinstalled the phone software. And the second problem i have is that sometimes when i start the camera and want to make pictures it says that there isn't enough memory and i should stop some applications, but the camera is the only one that is running.
    if anyone can help it will be gratly apreciated, thank you

    even after updating the software the alarm problem remains ??
    whats ur default storage for camera ??
    i mean when u take a picture. is it saved in the phone memory or sd card ??

  • Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction

    Since upgrading, my alarm won't go off. For years, I've kept my iphone on do not disturb and I still get woken up. My sounds setting is with the volume all the way up and the setting of Change w Buttons is off. At first I assumed it was a wifi problem because I deleted my stored music. So, yesterday I downloaded my wakeup song. Again, today no wake up. No vibration, even though the vibration is on. I haven't found any complaints about this bug. When I finally do wake up, the Alarm function is on the screen, but no vibration or song. Help!

      Re: Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction
    Yes, I have the same issue. Song only plays once and that's it. (mine is also iPhone 5s on iOS8)
    The whole alarm thing on the iPhone is very substandard in that one actually has to find the right buttons/sliders when still half asleep and eyes and mind half closed. Impossible for me, so I still rely on my good old Nokia phone (no SIM card in it but it still does many functions without) as a reliable alarm. It beeps, I press Snooze and it repeats after 10 minutes etc. Easy!
    I think the Apple guys should work a bit harder on this topic as I am sure many folks rely on their phone to wake them up. But it is too fumbly and unreliable which is not good enough for such an expensive product.

  • 5800 touch problem

    got he same prob ... plz help ..
    Re: Nokia 5800 xpress music firmware update 60.0.003 (posted by :ivanmigNew Member)
    ‎2011-12-30 22:15
    Hi,
    I have quite a similar problem with the same phone. Whenever I receive a call, the touchscreen does not function, I have to answer the phone by pressing the green button. Thus I do not have the option to make the call silent. This happens both when the phone is locked (slide option) and also when it is not locked (tapping option). This happened a few days ago. I updated the phone yesterday with the latest software V 60.0.003 thought maybe this could be fixed but I still have the same problem. This also happens with the phone alarm. I cannot turn it off or put it on snooze with the slide function. A week ago I had to dismantle the phone to replace the touch screen as it was all scratched. Everything worked perfectly fine. A few days later the slide function to answer call and to turn off the alarm  stopped working.
    Any help on this please?
    Thanks in advance

    Can't say much since the phone was self servised.. but just to silence the call why not use the Flip to Silence feature ? Go to Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Sensor settings-->..set Sensors to ON and select 'Silencing Calls' under Turning control .. Now when a call is received, to silence it simply flip the phone upside down ..(turn it so that display faces downwards..and the back faces up)

  • Nokia 5800 alarm bug auto-fix!

    My Nokia 5800 (UK)
    0575581
    v30.0.011
    Had the workdays alarm bug. The alarm would sound 3 minutes late.
    But after the daylight saving automatic update the bug has disappeared.
    My Date and time settings:
    Time zone: Local Time
    Automatic time update: On
    I hope this helps.

    It is in fact pretty random. The change back to GMT didn't cure the problem for me and the alarm still goes off late. The phone also switches late out of a programmed profile and the scheduled backup sometimes doesn't happen at all.
    The update to V31 is reputed to fix this issue - if ever we get it for our UK CV handsets.

  • 5230 alarm problem

    I need to be able to use the alarm on my phone. Setting the alarm is not the problem. Turning it off is. Because the phone locks itself when not in use I can't turn the alarm off when it starts to sound. So the phone then automatically snoozes the alarm, which looks like I can also not turn off in the settings.
    Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Watch the video. "How to Stop alarm in lock screen". Its for a 5800 but its the same for a 5230.

  • Problem with Flash Lite in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic-Problema con Flash Lite en Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

    I've got a problem playing videos in YouTube with my 5800. Recently I updated my version of Flash Lite to 3.1,  from that day I can't see correctly videos on YouTube, when the the indicator of the bar reaches 1/4 of the totallity of the bar, the sound and image stop, but the indicator continues playing. If i want to see completly a video I have to put the indicator in the start of the bar and wait the load again. Some idea to fix this problem?
    Sorry for my English level.
    Tengo un problema reproduciendo vídeos en YouTube con mi 5800. Hace poco actualicé la versión del Flash Lite a la 3.1 y desde entonces no puedo ver correctamente vídeos de YouTube, cuando el indicador de la barra alcanza 1/4 de la distancia total, se detienen el sonido y la imagen, pero el indicador continúa como si siguiera reproduciendo, es decir para el vídeo es como si siguiera reproduciendo pero ni el sonido ni la imagen continúan., para ver los vídeos tengo que llevar el cursor de carga al principio y esperar la carga de nuevo, es un problema realmente molesto. ¿Alguna idea para solucionarlo?

    Hi,
    I have Nokia 5800XM as well. The YouTube videos are playng fine for me. my FW is 40.0.005 with FL3.1
    Maybe you need to update your device's firmware and FL version.\
    Start Device Manager application on your 5800XM from menu or dialing *#0000#. It will check for new updates and ask you to download them. Remember that these updates are in MBs. I'd recommend update using a WiFi connection or flat-rate data plan.
    Best,

  • ICal alarm problem

    I set alarms for most calendar events. They work fine if I have the computer turned on when the alarm is scheduled to go off. However, alarms will not show up if they are scheduled to go off when my Mac is not turned on. For example, if I set an alarm for tomorrow to go off at 10am (for an event later in that day), and I start up my computer at 11am, the alarm doesn't show up. I have the "turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box unchecked. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
    The Entourage alarm will show all alarms that were due (or overdue) when I start up my Mac. I'm assuming that iCal should function the same way? Other than this alarm business, I prefer the Mac Mail/iCal/Address Book system, so I would like to continue using them.

    Not really, as it works for other people. The next thing I would try is to make a new user, log on as that user, make sure that iCal and Scheduler are in the startup items, and create a couple of events with alarms. Shutdown and restart after the alarms should have fired and log in as the new user.
    If the alarms fire, the problem is in some setting or file in your normal account. If not, it is something system-wide. Post back anyway. You can get rid of the new user again - some people keep a spare around for tests like this, but I think it is better for such tewsts to be run in a newly-created account.
    I will be away for a couple of weeks, likely with no internet access, so I suggest you start a new topic with a summary of everything tried so far. Maybe someone else will spot something.

  • 5800 internet problem

    I'm hoping some knowledgeable people on here will be able to help me!
    I've just got the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and I'm on O2 Text and Web (from my previous phone). The texts and calls are working fine but for some reason it won't let me connect to the internet.
    Everytime I try and connect to the internet or maps it says 'Packet Data Connection Not Available'
    I went onto the O2 website and they sent me settings which worked for an hour or two then the same thing happened again!
    Has anyone ever experienced this and how is it fixed? Thanks for any help!

    I had this problem with AT&T. For some reason, they kept turning off the MMS and data features on my account. (A pay as you go account.) Have them check that they are activated on the account.

  • 5800 language problem

    assalam alaykom
    about 2 days ago when I was connected my 5800 XM
    to OVI
    he told me I can update software
    and I do that immediately
    and change from v 51
    to v52.0.101
    the problem is the phone don't have Arabic language ( writing only)
    I can read Arabic but can't write Arabic
    how I can fix this problem

    If the problem appeared after the firmware update.. in all probability the phone was not intended to be sold in your region.. but the retailer added the language pack and sold it in your area for his personal gains.. Though you may try going to the retailer and explain the situation to help you out..( should be a Free of cost install...)..if that can not be of help, then the ONLY solution is to visit Nokia Care and get the language pack installed. It may cost you a little..but be warned that any future firmware upgrade..(.. IF and when available..) will again result in the language missing that will again need to be installed...
