5800 SatNav questions.

I've been learning about the satnav on the 5800 and need a bit of help if possible. I believe I can use the satnav without connecting to the internet.
From OVI maps In the tools setting I have Internet > Connection ( offline ) - Network Destination : Internet and Roaming Warning : On
If the phone is in Dual mode, I can locate my position, search destination and If I check Settings > Connectivity > Connection Manager : It shows no active connections ( as it should do )
However
If the phone is set in GSM mode and I locate my position. When I check Settings > Connectivity > Connection Manager : It shows Tesco MMS ( I'm on the Tesco UK network ).
So a couple of questions. Why has it connected and why is it showing Tesco MMS and not Tesco WAP ?
If I switch back to Dual mode and allow OVI maps to connect. Its either connected to TEsco Wap or my Wifi connection.
Many thanks

So what exactey does the function within OVI Maps > Tools > Interent do ? ( online - ofline ) . IS that for when you get the maps in real time from the nokia server ?
Assisted gps will speed up position fix and only uses around 16kb of data.
Setting Maps to online does exactly as you described.
I am still a little puzzled with the map data. I would recommend you do as JJ suggested to make sure you have the correct map data downloaded and do not accidentally end up with a huge data bill for downloadinng map data in real time.
I took JJ's advice and reloaded the maps from the OVI suite. I rechecked my cities folder and its still the same size . I just bought my 5800 ( can yer tell ) and although it came in a standard box, the manual was marked Navigation Edition. So I think the the UK maps come pre-loaded . That could explain why I have the full UK maps.
For now ( while in the UK ) I have put all the assist nav back on and turned the internet to offline.
I would just like to know if I can delete the OVI map history

5800 screen question

Hi, I'm a 1st time owner of a brand new 5800, this is my first experience with a touch screen phone and I was wondering since the screen is plastic and I absolutely hate scratches on my phones anywhere but especially on my screen, is there a way to put a screen protector on the screenof the phone and have the touch screen still work, will it be less sensitive or will it work at all??
Thanks for the help

No scratches on mine either. I make sure no coins go into the same pocket.

5800 firmware question

Hi all,
a friend of mine has an 5800 and as soon as she bought it she tried to upgrade the firmware to version 40 (ovi suite said update was availiable). However, halfway through the update failed and the phone crashed and does not switch on anymore. The thing is it was not the pc's fault cause she succesfully uprgaded the firmware for both a n96 and n97 before. Do you know if she will have to pay for upraging and fixing her phone at nokia stores?
N95,N81,N96, N97

If she has not done anything to it that could void the warranty, this should be fixed on warranty.
Have she tried to do a hard reset to see if it makes the phone boot? This will delete a clean your C memory, but it's worth a try if her phone wont boot at all. Pres and hold call-end-camerabutton while turning it on. Keep holding them untill handshakescreen is finnished.

Express Music 5800 Browser - Question

Hello !
Does someone knows if it is possible to just store a few html files in the memory card and use the browser to open any of them, as File -> Open ?
Thank you!

Yep it is released in EU already but I was wondering when it will be available in USA?
I got 5800 while in Fin and about6 months later it was released in USA, it was half price what I paid (thanks to currency rates and insane taxation in Fin)
Also I got my lesson with warranty as thanks to common speaker issue, I had to airmail it back to Fin for service and at the end, it had been cheaper to wait few months and buy new from here when it was released, that is reason I rather buy it from region I live as Nokia international warranty big lie and it is not international, it is regional and they don't give a **bleep** if your phone breaks while you are in other country. I tried to het help and all I got is "too bad"...
So any details from US release?

Some questions on the 5800 GPS

Hi folks
i am debating at the moment whether to upgrade from my N95 to a N95 8GB or the lovely 5800, i prefer the symbian OS so im glad to stay with these two phones. now i had tomtom 6 working fine on my N95 and i know it will work ok on the N95 8GB but the verdict i find on the interwebs is a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work on the 5800. however i am more interested in the Nokia Maps
now as i understand this program is included and you can use the A-GPS built in GPS but can you use an external source? i have a BT GPS antenna and would be happy to use this to avoid paying A-GPS charges is this feature still ok with nokia maps? also is it possible to just run the nokia maps through the built in GPS and not using the A-GPS.
i also just want to clarify something about the maps too, as i understand it comes with the function built in to navigate you point to point but doesnt include voice instruction. you pay extra for that functionaility?
thanks very much folks id love to give the 5800 a twirl as much as i love the N95 i love to try new stuff

Thanks! I'm planning to head to the shops tomorrow to get 5800 XM.
I never actually tried seeing if there was a visual turn by turn navigation on my friends' phones before because I thought there wasn't one. Hmm. Do you mean the "tracking" option? The very early version of Nokia Maps on N95 had that tracking option (Maps 1.x?), but the new ones don't (Maps 2.0).
Paying for navigation is a bit steep for me after I convert the price to my currency. So I totally understand! I might try monthly though for special events.
Thanks for the kudos. Do skim through the rest of this board section. You might find your answer since 5800 XM uses Maps 2.0 which is available in other phones too. I learnt a lot of info from here.

Nokia 5800 Questions.

I posted this in the nokia 5800 problems topic but it actually wasn't a problem and also it got ignored. So I decided to post it in a new topic.
I just bought this phone 4 days ago and I am in total love with it Now the pros of this phone are too much to list but there are a few cons which slight bugged me.I have version11.0.008 from the begining and have not faced a single problem - no lag , no peculiar behaviour Now I have a few queries that I was hoping to get answered on.
1. Is it possible to add more stuff below the Search word in the Shortcut bar theme. Maybe a Calendar memo reminder or anything. I already know of the music now playing bar that comes there during tracks but other than that are there nothing else to be done?
2. Is there any way to use the 2nd camera?
3. In the silent mode , for some odd reason I might have missed a call ( i.e did not feel the vibration ) Now is there a option to turn on so that the phone will emit little vibrations after a period of time to remind me or notify me of a miss call? I have this on my razrv3i so missing it now The menu button just flickrs on off to notify of the missed call but is there no way to know I have a miss call without taking out the phone from the case and looking at it?
4. I heard theres a new update to v11.0.009 - But my NSU doesn't show it . I was wondering is it that necessary to update to this firmwire at this moment? I live in Bangladesh.
Thats about it The 5800 is a exta ordinary phone and I have not regretted my purchase yet and have no hope of doing so. It costed me around 272.74 Euros. The price to quality ratio is mind bogling

1. The Calender memo will show by itself if you have any entry made in the Calender.. It will come up as "Next Entry on ..." a few days in advance and the Actual details a day before...
2. Open Camera application.. Goto Options -- > Use secondary camera..
3. There are 3rd party applications like T-Reminder for this.. It has options of Sound/Light/Vibration reminders for missed calls / SMSs / other events at user defined interval...
4. Firmware versions are different for different regions.. Connect the phone thru' OVI Suit to a computer and check for the latest available for your phone.It says that version upgrade is for good but there are newer complains associated with them. So its up to you whether to take that risk or not.. If you are satisfied with the current version so be it..

5800 - Questions when switching on

Hi,
I have updated my 5800 to the latest firmware but now each time I turn it on (when it crashes and restarts itself) it immediatelly before I see the main screen asks:
"Allow application to use network to send or receive data"
Yes | No
I usually hit Yes, then it has "Welcome to email setup". I just hit Exit here. My email account is already setup.
Any ideas how to prevent this so it just starts normally?
Many thanks,
Jack

maybe your email setup is lost when you updated your firmware

Question about 5800 Product Codes

Hello,
As I was looking for a Nokia 5800, I found out there are currently 3 different versions of this phone available in The Netherlands.
These versions are:
0559066 (EURO2 RED)
0570026 (EURO2 RED BENE)
0576907 (Netherlands NL CV R)
I was wondering what the difference is between these 3 versions, and which one would be the best/most sold one to get?
I hope someone can help me with this, and suggest which one I should try to get.
With regards,
Jeffrey

The main difference between them will be any country- or region-specific content preinstalled on the phones. I can't think of any example pertinent to the Netherlands, but here in the UK, for example, we have a piece of software called the iPlayer, which allows us to stream or download video content from our national broadcaster, the BBC. The iPlayer software is only preinstalled onto units specifically intended for the United Kingdom. It is not preinstalled onto other European variants that are liable to be sold in the UK.

Question regarding nokia 5800 express music

Currently I have Nokia e61, with this phone I can connect my plantronic bluetooth stereo headset. I know my phone doesnt support ad2p but as i listen to audiobooks it doesnt matter. While listening i can write mails, use internet, chat on msn and so on without closing any program, they all run in the background. This phone never stutter or becomes slow.
How does all that work with this phone? I know that a common problem is when you use a bluetooth connection and the phone becomes very slow. I am thinking of buying this one because of the nice musicplayer, internet browser and of course the large memory capability.
Thanks in advance
Björn

jimmy, why are you making up random answers to people's questions yet again? Is misleading people a hobby of yours or are you just plain useless?
It is not possible to copy and paste text from anywhere within the browser. It's a well known and annoying limitation of the S60 browser. Text can be pasted into it from other applications but you cannot copy a paragraph of text from a web page.
@ waspworld: Hopefully a more knowledgable user that doesn't guess their answers can help you with your bluetooth query. I don't use a headset like that myself but I can't remember seeing any major issues posted about it.

Nokia 5800 XM homescreen problem/questions

Hello everyone,
I have a few problems with my 5800 homescreen:
The homescreen does not rotate when I rotate my phone. First I thought the motion sensor is disabled or even broken but then I noticed that the main menu and other applications rotate correctly. Am I overlooking a setting or is this a bug?
New emails do not show up on the homescreen. I've had an E71 before and new emails would always be displayed on the homescreen.
Contacts bar and shotcut homescreen cannot be displayed at the same time. This is really annoying, because the contacts bar was one of the main reasons I bought this phone - I did not expect that it eliminates all the other homescreen options I was used to from the E71.
Can anybody help me with these issues?
Overall the homescreen does not seem to be very flexible. I've already tried to upgrade my device firmware to see if any of these bugs were resolved, but I am still stuck at v21.
Solved!

Wow, all of these problems have been discussed dozens of times. Next time please search before posting, but here are answers.
1: No the homescreen does not rotate. It's not a bug, it's a "feature". Wait for a firmware update and hope that Nokia decides to do it right for a change.
2: No there aren't emails on the home screen. It's not a bug, it's a "feature". Wait for a ... blahblah
3: No, you cannot show the contacts bar and the shortcut bar at the same time. It's not a bug, it's a "feature". You know the drill. Also, no you can't show more than 4 shortcuts or 4 contacts at once.
Yes, the homescreen for the 5800 is only minimally useful. You'll learn to live with it. People are shouting for Nokia to add the widgets homescreen (like in the N97), but who knows if Nokia will see reason. At this point they're trying to keep the N97 boat from sinking at the dock, from the reviews I've read.

Nokia 5800 Real Player Question

I noticed something weird. The real player is an application that is built to play rmvb files right? I mean rmvb is real media video sumthing right? The real player on my 5800 (installed upon purchase) plays the rmvb file's audio pretty nice, but the video pixelizes and lags behind all I can see are big unmoving squares despite the video being at 300+bitrate and 640x480 resolution! Now I'm currently using Xilisoft Video converter, but for some reason the audio doesnt come over when the vid is converted to mp4 and is played on my phone. it registers as 'no audio'.
HELP???
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Wow, it's incredible that RMVB of VGA resolution play at all. I've only had success at QVGA resolution (320x240) and 128 kbps or 256 kbps maximum.
I haven't found any reference anywhere as to what are the capabilities of the RealVideo decoder in the S60 v5 software but I'm pretty sure that what you're trying to play is well beyond the capabilities of the device unfortunately.
As to why Xilisoft doesn't encode the video, I don't know, you'll need to contact Xilisoft. Does the converted video have any audio at all, check the video properties on the PC?, maybe Xilisoft doesn't support the format of the video.
640K Should be enough for everybody
