5800 Xpress problem..

Hi everyone,
I got a 5800 last week and have found that while I'm using the phone, if I accidentally cover the prox sensor, the screen goes blank. Applications keep running and I can still touch buttons but with no display.
Any ideas what's going on?

If you had done a search, you would have found that this issue has been discussed time and time again. It is the normal operation of the phone for this to happen.
Next time try the search feature.
Show the KUDOS button some love.... Hit that bad boy.... It don't hurt....

  • App running differently from N95 to 5800 Xpress

    I downloaded the trapster app since i had it on my N95, to my 5800 Xpress, problem is the GPS (the blue circle that indicates where i'm located) keeps disappearing, and the sound files from the app only play half way, then abruptly stop, however it still works perfectly on my N95, is there something I need to update on the 5800 ? I just got it.

    The problem is that the app isn't optimised for the 5800xm.  Many S60v3 apps will work on the 5800xm but not all will run perfectly.
    Contact the makers of the app and ask them if they have a newer version thats fully compatible with S60v5 phones like the 5800xm.

  • Display problem in 5800 xpress music

    I had purchased a 5800 xpress music in April 2010.  For the last two months there is some problems in the display.  Sometimes, the display is gone and only lines are seen, when the key pad lock on.  This pevails for long time.  Due to this, I am unable to make any call or identify the incoming call.  Any solution?

    What version of Firmware ? Check for any updates thru' the OVI Suite..
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you may try the Soft Reset by dialing    *#7370#     followed by 12345 (Default security code) when prompted. If you have set your own code, enter that instead... Note that the Soft Reset will erase all data from the phone, so back-up your data before doing that...

  • 5800 Xpress Music Camera & Lcd preview problem

    Hi
    Iam facing the foll problems with my 5800 Xpress Music phone.  I always update it to latest firmware.
    1. 50 % of times , when I go into snapshot mode or in video mode,
        the preview becomes blank and I am unable to operate the camera
    2. Worst bug, is recently, some of the stored pics & videos are getting deleted automatically,
    3. 50 % of times, the LCD preview shows a blank screen in video play back mode.
    please suggest a method to resolve these issues.
    Thanks

    It shows also the duration of the last call. 
    Oh I get it. You want for each particular call.
    When you go to Menu>Log, you see three icons (recent calls, call duration, packet data). If you notice at the top of the screen, just under the time, and the "Log", there are two tabs. Tap the tab on the right, it will take you to the "Detailed" Log. You can see here a list of all the SMS and calls you have made. Each Item is labeled if its a call, sms, or gprs, and if its outgoing or in going.
    Tapping on a call entry will show you call direction (in/out), type (video/voice), DURATION, and number call/calling.

  • HELP!!! 5800 XPRESS MUSIC INTERNET PROBLEM!!!!!!!!...

    Hi,
    Im having issues with the internet on my 5800 Xpress music.
    I connect which is fine, but then 3 pages into browsing, it freezes the internet, phone and all the menu screens. Then I have to reconnect to the internet and start all over again.
    I have already sent one handset back to my network provider, with the same problem, got a new one and now have the same problem.
    I have tried to restore factory settings, with no luck!
    Please Help!!!

    @john_everett
    Would suggest that you try deleting E:\cities +.qf file (if present) and re-open Ovi Maps which should re-initialise application and re-create necessary folders to download regional mapping.
    Presumably you have the latest version of Ovi Maps installed:http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/​software/ ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk23_b05_s60_5...
    Ovi Maps v3.06 uses different map set to v3.04 which can lead to issues and corrupt map data is one of the commonest causes of this application crashing upon opening.

  • New 5800 xpress music battery problem

    soo here goes...
    i got dis new new 5800 xpress music just 2 days back...i fully charged it and didnt insert da sim yet....so da phone was actually just on standby mode continuosly.....and yet only after 24 hours it showed battery dead....i again recharged it fully....and again after 24 hours it showz battery dead....wat am i supposed to do?? i faed a similar problem wid my n95 and hence changed da phone and nw dis thing;s again acting up......HIGHLY IRRITTATING!!
    wat am i supposed to do....fight with da dealers for giving me a problematic battery or sumthin??

    Here is a strong possibility of what the problem is - I have noticed how easy it is to leave some application still running when you shut it down by using the slide switch.  Maybe maps or bluetooth - anything really.  Before you use that slide switch; display the main menu and look carefully for any item with a little circle near it.  Any you find should be turned off by clicking onto that item and then exiting from it by clicking "exit".  Now check that menu again to make sure that all items are now turned off.
                   As a separate precaution; if you keep your 5800 in a flexable pouch; you will find that there is plenty of room for a spare battery (only about £5).  The spare would be needed on a long flight or when using the unit as a satnav if not plugged into the cars cigar lighter

  • Ovi maps problems with Nokia 5800 xpress music

    Since Ovi updated the maps I've had trouble using it. I have version 40 firmware which was installed by Vodafone when my device expired. Despite the update, Ovi maps just crashes the phone when I try to use it. The screen goes blank and I get all coloured lines flashing down one side and the phone reluctantly restarts. Any advice please?

    I am having exactly the same problem with my 5800 xpress music having updated to version 40.0.005.235.10 and installed the new version of OVI maps and the software Own Voice.
    I have also tried reinstalling the sotware, restoring my phone to factory settings and resetting my phone by pressing the green, red and camera button whilst powering up. The problem persists. I will be making a call and within a few seconds of the call being connected the phone switches off and back on again. I also get the the coloured lines flasing on the screen.
    Please Nokia Support, help us out.

  • Problem with Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

    Hello. I have a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music for about a year now and been taking great care of it. I don't know why but a while ago it started freezing at times when i would try to turn on the camera..had to multiple times restart the phone and remove the battery in order to make it work (In the open applications menu it would show the camera running but you wouldn't be able to use it). Then i noticed that the two touch buttons it has in the main screen (dialing and phonebook shortcuts) wont work either, no matter how many times i press them nothing happens. Same goes for the Green and Red button on the left and the right side of the phone (Accept/Decline buttons), they won't work either when i'm on the main screen (wallpaper), they do work in the main menu though. I tried resetting my phone to manufacturer settings but nothing happened. What is wrong with my phone? Can anybody help me with it very please?

    @guilty_gr
    Welcome to the forum!
    When you say restored "factory settings" I don't know whether you mean that you backed up essential data then keyed in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself); I would remove any memory card first and see if any difference before restoring device.

  • Problem after update for 5800 xpress

    i have a nokia 5800 xpress and i updated it by internet and now i cant open my profiles ringing tone because the phone tells me there is low memory to acses tones . can i format the phone memory with out harming my phone . or any type of help can i get and thank you.

    KUDOS ME IF YOU FIND MY ANSWERS HELP FULL
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    make sure you have a back up of your data and try code number 2 see if this works for you 
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

    This is what your product code says: 5800 RM-356 Middle-East_North Africa AE Ramadan Arabic Nav Red v1.
    It seems to me that you have bought a 5800 ramadan version which is a special edition device with some ramadan apps. These phones are often stuck with the fw it came with, and will probably not get any updates.
    So what you could do is to take your phone to a Nokia care point and ask them if they could update it for you.

  • Nokia 5800 Xpress Call Waiting notification

    Hello all
    I have problem with my nokia 5800 xpress.
    the problem about call wating.
    when i call someone he call to another we usually see in all other models a notification "call waiting" to be know the person we are calling to is busy talking with another
    nokia 5800 xpressmusic doesnt show this notification "call waiting"
    this problem causes many problem for me.
    that i think that the person that i callig dont want to answer me
    but the truth he is talking to some one in his phone.
    i have my nokia 5800 since firmware v50.x i think that nokia will solve this problem in the next firmware but didn't solved in v 51.x and waiting for new firmware and now updating my phone to the last firmware but not solved too.
    pls any one have a solution reply me.
    sorry for my english not good
    i hope to understand me.
    thanx alot

    furthermore if the reciever doesn't want to recieve ur call, he may let ur call ring through and through, in which case u'll hear ringing and at the end u'l hear a voice sayin tht the person isn't pickin up ur fone plz try later.. OR there he may reject ur call, in that case u'l 1 or 2 rings and then a voice tellin the prsn u r tryin to reach is busy, etc..
    Of course these vary accordin to network..
    Well in any case it's a network issue not a handset issue..
    Check with ur network.
    What say farby?

  • 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.

    Re: Nokia 5800 xpress music firmware update 60.0.003 (posted by :ivanmigNew Member)

    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)

  • 5800 Xpress Music speaker function

    Hello, I was wondering if there is any solution on the issue that when the speaker function on 5800 Xpress Music is activated the microphone of the phone makes the interlocutor hear the conversation interrupted or with large differencies in volume. Can the phone be used on speaker at all? Thank you.

    Hi sarahdolker,
    Getting "Expired Certificate" message while trying to install some application or games is due to Symbian security consideration
    Guides
    1. Try re-setting phone clock back by 2 years or so. But this often does not solve the problem in most cases.
    2. There are 3rd party tweaking tricks to make ure fone to install using hack method, however, Nokia forums does not entertain this and will never guide u in the negative side of the road.
    My best solution is, for u to have a visit at http://store.ovi.com and download some free and also purchase apps and games, even widgets for ure usage. The items from OVI store are pre-signed legally by vendors, so u do not need to worry about 3rd party signing issues.
