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.

The 5800 is getting on in years now so it's definitely a hardware issue your facing. Your best bet is to visit a Nokia Care Point and see if it's worth the cost of repair otherwise you'd be better off getting a new phone.

Dirt under 5800 screen

There is dirt under my nokia 5800 screen. How do I remove it?
Solved!

Take your phone to a nokia care point and they will remove it for you. It should be free if your warranty is valid.
Any attempt to open the phone yourself to clean it will void the warranty and may cause further damage. We cannot help you with any of that here.

Nokia 5800 Screen protector

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me good screen protector for Nokia 5800 to avoid finger print smudges? I have googled but all I found are the screens whcih have to be cut to 5800 screen size. I am looking for screen protectors designed for nokia 5800.
Help appriciated.
Thanks

I recommend those too but they need to be modified as the protector covers the proximity sensor.
Review taken from the Mobilefun site.
Not a bad product with the exception that you need to modify the screen protector itself in order for your phone to work correctly. Specifically, the 5800's proximity sensor does not like being covered by anything, even this thin protector. The resultant effect is that when applied, you will not be able to hold/mute calls etc when on a call as the sensor senses the protector and activates the key lock. Similarly, it means that you cannot see who's calling, as the proximity sensor kicks in as soon as the phone starts to ring. I'm not happy at having to modify what is otherwise an expensive protector but other than that, it works well.

5800 - Screen turn off is a turn off...

....Using Skyfire I can get Catchup TV and BBC iPlayer BUT when viewing - how do you stop the Nokia 5800 screen from turning off every minute (max setting 60 seconds)...Most annoying having to keep operating the screen on/off button to bring it back on again...
Solved!

You need to buy an app like 'smartlight'. Well worth the £5 GBP I paid: best app I've ever paid for.
Nothing in phone can do it.

5800 screen blackout - no power saver option

A quite simple complaint - the 5800 screen blacks out after 60 seconds no matter what settings you use. (Latest firmware.) I can't find a power-saver disable anywhere in the options.
I want to be able to use a permanent screen saver display, such as a greyed-out clock on low power display, or the status + time blue and white stripe. This is fine on my older N76 and many other models. Why has this feature been excluded?

Good Afternoon sarenj,
That must be frustrating when your handset will not respond to your attempts to power it off. Have you verified that the software is up to date? I have included a link below to assist you. The latest version is: 1.26.605.11; Baseband: 1.15.00.0816
http://bit.ly/yIYT0E
If the software version is up to date, please try running the device in safe mode. This will help determine if any downloaded apps are affecting the device.
http://bit.ly/yAHjEJ
If the behavior is the same after running in safe mode, please complete a hard reset.

I hope this information is helpful.

Macbook Air (13") screen question

Does the mid 2013 Macbook Air have any sort of coating on the screen?

Jon P D
Unfortunately I have not tried to play WoW on this MBA yet, it is realy a pain for my ears to listen to the fan noise from such a thin machine. And I also use iStat menus and temperatures like 98-100 C excite me even more. But as soon as I decide to game a bit - I'll post here ))
wickedHangover
Thank you very much for a professional advice ! This information is very usefull, because EVERYTIME I rise the question of high temperatures everyone sais "its ok dont worry, its mac, its Apple, so everything should be ok etc". And finaly I do hear about overheat issues. As for me, I ALWAYS use Just-Mobile Cooling Bar if I use the integrated monitor, otherwise I use Twelve South stand - when connected to an external display (both of these cooling pads provide passive cooling).
So if you do not recommend stressing a work machine I will not do it for sure. I'll look for some other gaming solution...maybe iMac... or replace MBA with new thin MBP . . . Or maybe Apple will intergrate GPU in the upcoming thunderbolt display lol ))))
Otherwise it doesnt make much sence.

Mac mini and a 30 in display screen questions

Hi everyone .
I wanted to no if anyone out there knows if the Apple Mac mini will run a apple 30 inch screen . I want to run my dell 30 inch screen on it at full resolution of 2560 x 1600 . Thats what my display runs at like the apple one . But before I buy one of these mac mini machines . I want to no if it will handle dual link for the 30 inch display .
Also I what to run the sims 3 game on it . I see that some of the older mac mini will not run with gma -950 series graphic card thats built in to the older ones . Only the newer made mac mini machines . I see that apple dont have any newer style mac mini left for sale right now . So ether I have to spend 600.00 dolars at the apple store off the shelf . But I dont want to do that right now . so I have to wait for now .
But what I really want to no is if The mac mini is wort the money . I see some people say that the imac is better . But I dont want not use my 24 inch dell display screen . I payed close to 600.00 new with a 5 year warranty for it . Plus the mac mini has built in bluetooth and airport card for it .So I dont have to buy it extra .
If you have any reviews on it , I would like to hear what you have to say about it .
Thank You
duckland23

Thanks for responding to my post but Thats somewhat what I was looking for . The Main question I wanted to no Did anyone out there Have a mac mini hooked up to a 30 inch screen. I need to no if the screen will have the same resolution as my power mac g5 1.8 dual with a Nvivia 6800 GT with duallink video card . The card I have from nvivia has a max resolution of 2560 x 1600 at it maxed out .
My game graphics look very good on my power pc g5 dual 1.8 with the dualink card from nvivia .I would buy a new mac pro but I dont have money coming out of my a*s. I'm fine with my regular g5 but the only reason I want to buy a mac mini is to play the sims 3 .Me and my wife are really mad that maxius the maker of the game , will not wright a new program for mac . The only one they are making is not a true mac software or program under os x . What I have learned at the sims 3 web forum is that the current game for mac os x is a windows game with a mac emulator . The people that are also playing it under a power book like 2007 model with gma 950 graphics . It wont play at all . Nice going apple on this one you really want the people with powerpc g5 to buy new macs .I think apple and maxis the game maker had there hand in on this .Apple dont you get enough money you have squeeze every bit of money out of us you can .
But back I'm done lashing out at apple for now .So as it stands I buy a apple mac mini or a dell hybrid small computer windows based by dell 499.00 us dollars . or a apple for 599.00 dollars at the apple store .But the downside is that in the future it may not be able to play the new games in three years or so and be out of date . WE waist more electronics in this country than any country in the world . But I'm not the first person encounter this problem . There's many more people that still have the g5 line and like there true mac computer not this fake intel machine . Why did apple do this in the first place start with a intel chip in there computers in the past not goto IBM to buy there chips ?. If this was done in the first place we would be better off right now .
So back to me buying a mac mini this is were i'm at right now stuck not able to play the sims 3 because it not a true mac written game under unix like all the games in the past . I had game from my windows machine that were written for windows 98se and the games played fine under windows xp no problems at all .I did not have to shell out hundreds of dollars to play a game like this ? . I think apple and maxis is taking us for a ride and riping us off . Maybe some of you people dont think so . Me my self dont think that and am very mad at this .
so that all i mave to say for now .

I've got nothing(gray screen, question mark folder) Please Help!

This problem is on my girlfriend’s computer, about the same as mine, PB G4 800mhz 768mb RAM, 10.4.x
I am a competent user and this one has me worried…
Problem
Last night she goes to the computer sends an IM checks her e mail, watch some tv, goes back to the computer to look something up on line and its frozen, I do not recall if the mouse was visible but I don’t think there was a beach ball. She asks me what to do I said just give it a few minutes maybe it will process through what ever it is and be back to normal. We both forget to take a look at it before bed.
This morning computer is still frozen/non-responsive and the fans are running... Shut down by holding down the power key. I try to re-start by pressing power key, screen lights up with gray background wait wait then the folder icon comes up with the question mark in it. This gets me worried.
What I have tried
I have tried to get it into target disc mode with my powerbook(computer B), I start up computer A holding down the T key and the screen goes to that moving firewire icon but the hard drive does not show up on my computer B.
I tried unplugging it, removing the battery and re setting the pram
I tried to run the hard ware test CD, but when I hold C to boot to the CD it spins up the disc and the little hardware test folder is in the middle of the screen but then it does not load any further. I had to shut down holding the power button. Computer would not eject CD so I had to start up and use unix eject cd command, this worked.
I tried target disc mode again.
I tried just a plain start up again.
I do not have the 10.4 CD at my house so I have not tried to start from that yet, but I can borrow one from grandparents this evening after work, but I am worried since it will not start from the hardware test CD that it will not start from the system CD.
I believe I have computer A backed up from either last week or the week before( I thought about doing it this weekend but did not get to it  ), she is not backed up daily as I am. Though she said there is quite a bit of important work from this past week.
I have no idea what to do next or what the source of the problem could be(software or hardware). I fear the worst, but hope that you can share an idea that will turn out for the best!
Please help me fix this computer, I can play with it some when I go home for lunch and then I need to get it fixed if possible this evening because she needs some important class work and grad school applications from it!

So is the next step to try and re-format the drive and then use super duper to copy the back up over to that drive and then run disc utility and disc warrior on it? Which specs should I select for the re format, do they have to be the same as what is on my back up drive?
Yes, reformatting the drive is the next step. Use your Panther installer discs, choose Mac OS Extended format, and check the box to install OS 9 drivers, just in case. The "Verified" SMART status is somewhat less reliable than a "Failing" status would have been: "Failing" definitely means trouble was detected, but "Verified" could just mean nothing seemed to be wrong right at the moment when you happened to ask. So if there's any trouble reformatting the drive, replace it: you shouldn't entrust anything important to it. If all goes smoothly with the reformat, the drive probably really is OK.
What you can do with your backup depends on how you created it. If the backup is a bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, you can clone it back to the reformatted drive the same way you created it in the first place, then add the extra files that were created or modified after you made the backup. If you just Finder-copied the drive to another drive, the backup isn't bootable, and copying it back onto the reformatted drive won't make that one bootable either: OS X isn't Finder-copyable. In that case, I really shouldn't advise you on reconstructing the former contents of the drive from your backup — my only experience of backing up OS X disks is by cloning, which eliminates all the hassles of making sure user accounts, passwords, permissions, etc. are transferred correctly to the backup, and then transferred correctly back to the original disk in a restore. Nearly four years after my adoption of OS X, I confess I'm still far more mystified by many aspects of it than I ever was by the old-time Mac OS.

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
Solved!

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

White screen or green screen question

hi
i have a series of interviews coming up...will shoot 1080. I like the nice clean look of white for the background. Question is whether to shoot with white backdrop or green screen and key white in post. Here is my issue: I want to use part of the space (framing screen right) for bullet points, graphics, etc. but i also would like to achieve this look at 2:40 into the video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRK5QVEE8Ng) Clearly, a green screen was used here. I am wondering if I shot against white could i just use the luma and key out my white background, create my effect with white and moving video then key it back in? Thanks.

Here's my 2 centimes, FWIW. luma and chroma keys both have plusses and minuses. Green screen will potentially give you the cleanest key if you follow a few "rules" while shooting. It's a huge challenge to do good green screen: large enough set so that you can light the screen absolutely differently than the talent. You're really lighting two sets-- the talent and the screen. you ought to be able to turn one off without affecting the other. You'll need enough distance to avoid bounceback onto the talent. or a magenta backlight to minimize the bounce. Fly-away hair is another issue-- paste it down. That said, a well shot greenscreen is a joy in post.
A luma key is quick and easy-- IF the subject cooperates and doesn't have any highlights that might get blown off. It's not good for people to have holes in their foreheads, etc.
I'd go green with a good shooter and proper lighting.

5800 screen not responding

Im having a slight issue with my 5800, it went flat last night so I put it on charge, now when I try turning it on it starts up then just before it gets to entering the pin code the screen dims like the keygaurd has turned on and it wont respond to any touchs on the screen.
I suspect it could be a firmware issue but I can't run an update through my computer because it requires the phone to be on in order to recognise it but i cant turn it on because it requires the pin code which it wont let me enter.
Quite a pickle i think you'll agree, does anyone know of a solution other than send it in for repair?

Does the phone turn off do you think? How long has it been charging? After the battery has run totally out of juice, you will might have to let it charge for 15 mins before turning it on. I've had this issue with my N97, where the phone didn't have enough juice to actually turn on - and every time I tried - it used all the battey so I had to leave it charging for 15 mins and then it would turn on.
If you've charged it fully before trying to turn it on: pull out charger, pull out battery and wait 1 min, then put it back and try turning it on.
Have you dried using the lock screen button when the display dims?

IPad Screen Question

Not sure if this is a silly question, but - my 8-year-old nephew is visiting and is totally into my (brand-new) iPad. Thing is, he has a raging head-cold... sinus congestion, sneezing, etc. I cringe when he sneezes or even just touches the screen. Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen? If not, does anyone have any ideas of how to truly clean the screen? Thanks much!

Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen?
What "Apple-provided wipe"?
Unless it says it disinfects, it won't.
any ideas of how to truly clean the screen?
To clean it, use a soft cloth.
To disinfect, use a Lysol (or similar) disinfecting wipe then use a soft cloth to clean it.
