5800 Xpressmusic getting capacitive screen?

Engadget are posting a rumour that the 5800 is to get revised with a capacitive screen instead of a resistive one. I'm taking this with a pinch of salt, given that the 5800 has a stylus (maybe it's just a new handset model similar to the 5800), but it's nice to hear that Nokia are considering capacitive displays now. An N97 with that display would be outrageously awesome.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

hi there, try the Nokia Carrying Case CP-361 for 5800 XM or you could at least try to visit any nokia store near your place and try to look for alternatives

Nokia 5800 With a Capacitive Screen..

" South East Asian models of the smartphones have already received the update and the rest of the world should follow soon. There are also rumours that the firm will update the 5800XM with a capacitive touchscreen which will improve navigation and responsiveness greatly."

and lots of other sites are talking about the same as well...

Don't you feel a bit ripped off with this...You buy a brand new one and within a couple of month they release another version of the same model with a capacitive Screen. Sucks man...I feel like I am a Guinea Pig, They checked if we would love the phone, We did, and now they are upgrading.

Two options are better than one, namely, lock screen manually or automatically. Is it an impossibility?
Am not sure about your requirement (..sorry, did not understand it)..but on Nokia 5800xm you can either automatically lock the screen after a pre defined period..or simply keep it Unlocked infintely. Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Phone Management-->Auto Keyguard..set the period to User defined or None as you desire...But, even with this set to None.. the display will go out between 5 and 60 seconds max. (..again user defined) ..Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Display-->Light time-out ...
...and further check THESE applications ...

5800 XpressMusic - Password for screen/key block

I apologise in advance if this has been asked 10000 times already, but I can't find it anywhere in the Bedienungsanleitung or here.
How can I set a code for the screen/key block so that only I can actually use my phone?
If it's somewhere on the net then just a link would be fine
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

to add to that, default lock code is 12345. Change the code in the Settings of the phone.

Screen capture on 5800 XpressMusic

I'm currently using the ubiquitous "Best ScreenSnap" on my 5800XM. However, this only works properly as long as your screen is in portrait mode. Switch it to landscape mode and you only get part of the screen in the resulting screen capture, like this:
So, basically, I'm wondering if anyone has come across any other software to perform a screen capture on S60v5.
Was this post helpful? If so, please click on the white "Kudos!" star below. Thank you!

Didn't know about this app and was looking for one, so thanks for the message. If anyone is looking for the link, it is: Best ScreenSnap.
I tried another freeware app Screenshot for Symbian yesterday, but on the 5800 the camera button which is the default, doesn't take a snapshot but invokes the camera. The other hot-key choices require the keypad to be up which isn't a good option for this touch-screen phone. Maybe when I get some time I'll play around with the source code & figure out how to make it work.

Problems to sincronize Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic with...

My Nokia 5800 xpressmusic sistematically sincronizes extremely bad with Outlook in Windows 7. Either it duplicates contacts, or sincronizes some and some not, many contacts incomplete but with duplicated info within, or deletes from Outlook contacts that I need, or aborts the sincronisation randomly.
The last time I had erased all the contacts, notes and calendar from the mobile in order to sincronize from scratch with a laboriously just depurated Outlook and what happened? it deleted half of the contacts, the notes apparently sincronized well, and the calendar aborted the sincronization repeatedly. Does anyone have a clue o what is going wrong before I buy another mobile brand?The software in the mobile and OVI Suite are updated. Anyway, this has been happening with previous versions as well. Another problem is that the fields in Contacts do not match after sincronization with those in Outlook, and the information in each contact is partially duplicated and/or incomplete. I can send printed screen of the windows in which the errors have been informed.

I have exactly the same problem.
It is very often impossible to synchronize.
I am able to send SMS-messages (via bluetooth connection), but unable to synchronize.
When clicking on the "synchronize" button or when choosing "synchronize" from the pulldown menu, OVI Suite may or may not synchronize.
I am unable to keep my Calendar in sync.
If this does not get resolved soon, I will get another phone and it will certainly not be a Nokia.

Update Nokia 5800 XpressMusic software

Hello,
I update my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic through Nokia Suite on my personal computer.
Step 1. Get Started and Step 2. Back up was successfully done. On Step 3. Install, I follow the instructions. Then my phone screen turns white. Then the logo of Nokia and its version was displayed on the screen. Then it shut-down/turned OFF by itself. A message on my Nokia Suite(on my PC) says "Your phone is restarting" and an instructions below says "Take a look at your phone. If it asks you for your PIN code, time and date, or your Nokia account details, type them on your phone. You may also need to choose the Nokia Suite (or Nokia Ovi Suite, or PC Suite) USB mode on your phone. Then wait for the installation to continue.".. So I wait. Then a follow up message show that says "If your phone does not restart, remove and re-insert the battery, charger, and the USB cable. Then switch the phone on.".
So I follow the instruction. I removed and re-insert the battery, charger, and the usb cable. Then I switch the phone on. BUT the problem is.. it doesn't turn ON. Still off. When I long-press the POWER button, it vibrates but it doesn't continue to turn ON. I hear continues pop-up sound on my PC when the USB cable was connected. But still nothing happens.
Your immediate advice is highly appreciated on this matter. Thanks in advance.

5800 XpressMusic - Unable to Enter PIN Number

Hi
When I power on my 5800 XpressMusic I get taken to the screen where I enter my PIN but for some unknown reason the touchscreen has suddenly become completely unresponsive. This means I'm completely locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea why this has happened or what I can do to fix it?
I have tried all the usual stuff like removing the battery and the SIM card but nothing seems to make any difference. When I removed the SIM card and powered on the phone I was prompted to enter the lock code and although I couldn't enter any numbers I could press the arrow key so this indicates that the hardware behind the touchscreen is still working. I could try a hard reset, but I'd only like to do that as a last resort if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help provided!

In the end I just tried to perform a hard reset, but even that didn't work! Oh well looks like it's time for a new phone!

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Gallery, Accelerometer etc ...

Hey everyone, got a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic as my birthday gift. Love its camera, style, features etc. But there has been some Issues I am facing/discovered recently. Please help me!
Gallery:
I've got some ringtones I transferred from my old phone. But the problem is they are listed in the "Songs" folder, in the Music Library. This is a bit frustrating because I don't want ringtones to play when I want to play all of the songs. eh? They won't move to the "Sound Clips" folder. I've tried many things...but I couldn't fix it. Pls help
Another thing is that when I load up my device with new Images and videos, they don't get added to the "Images and Videos" folder, unless I move them to the folder which the phone created itself and saves the pics and vdos captured by the camera. Then they get added to the gallery..I think. Is this a issue or it supposed to be like this? Pls tell!
Accelerometer:
Sometimes when I had to restart the device, after it freezes or hangs up etc. The accelerometer sometimes doesn't work. When I put the phone horizontally (to rotate the screen or images) It doesn't work. And I had to restart the device again to make it work..(the device takes a while to boot up though..)
Other "funny" stuffs:
I've heard that you can put up to four contacts in the contacts bar (favorite four). But in my one, I can put up more than four! How's that?
When I press the media key and activate the media bar, then tap the "Images and videos" icon, shouldn't it directly navigate me to the Images and Video folder? But it takes me to the gallery homepage, (where u select where u want to go, Images and videos, songs, sound clips, other media etc) why is that?
Current software version: V 52.0.007 . Updated it using Nokia Ovi Suite. Previous version was V 52.0.004 .
Full model name: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Navigation Edition. Bought on Dec 13, 2010
Please provide me with solutions to this problems. I would appreciate it very much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

gallery: it's supposed to be like tht. Irritating but the problem is all .mp3, .mp4 sound files are read as music files.. Sound files r .amr and .wav files i guess.
Accelerometer: chk if ur memory card is corrupt or not. After update, did u try hard resettin? F u dnt hv much data to lose, u cud do a hard/soft reset, using *#7370# code. Nd if u make a backup before reset, which u should, avoid restorin the settings and files after the reset.
If u'v lot of data to lose, try switchin off the mobile, remove battery, sim, memory card for 10/15mins., reinsert and switch on. If this doesn't solve, resettin is ur final option.
As for contact bar, i donno if tht's how it is in Navigation edition. If it isn't, resettin will surely solve this. But do not restore settings frm backup after reset.
The one touch image icon is supposed to do tht. No issues.
Memory card corrupt: ths s not necessary, but u could check ur memory card. For this u'l have to attach ur fone to pc in 'mass storage' mode. Open my computer on pc. Rt click on ur memory card nd goto properties. Under tools tab u'd find 'check disk for errors'. Run tht. If there'r any corrupt files, it'l be solved. In my experience corrupt card usually leads to some or the other issues in the phone..
Repost if u've any query.
F problem solves, Kudo!

W510 not compatible with Nokia 5800 XpressMusic headset (earpiece)?

Hi all,
Have anyone came across this problem? I have 2 of those headset and I tried both in my W510. When I played any music source, the sound is so diffused like as if it works like a surround speaker that only produce presence sound. To get the vocal, I have to shift the Balance to the extreme left or right. First time encounter such problems. However, other headset work fine with my W510.

Rest of all are updated...
I have tried my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic headset on my other 2 desktops and 2 laptops, it work perfectly, I guess it has some incompatibility or something, Disable all enhancement in Sound does not solve the problems.

did you update your phone to the latest firmware for your phone currently it is v30......but it just got released so it may not be avaliable for all product codes just yet. also is your phone unbranded./unlocked if that is the case then you have a better change of updating than with a provider.

you can also try FOTA from your phone by plugging *#0000# on your home screen and see if your phone can pulll the updates.

Hopeless disk-full error of my 5800 XpressMusic

Dear Nokia,
I'm using my 5800 XpressMusic for quite a long time a I like it for many things: long battery life, ergonomics, etc.
There is one terrible bug though that spoils the pleasure. I'm constantly getting "disk full" error.
I have read all forums/discussions/advises about the problem. I have cleaned up the browser cash and the cash of all other applications. The firm fact is that all the files (including hidden ones) in my C drive occupy about 20percent of its size but the disk is full.
Yes, I know that if do the hard reset, it will help. BUT I JUST DON"T WANT! Last time I did it, it took me hours because the new firmware would not want to install or something.
It is an obvious bug of the file system. Why, dear Nokia, are you making updates of the firmware with new graphical features and (sure everyone needs it) dynamic scrolling WITHOUT FIXING THIS BUG? Can you at least make an app that would recover the lost space?
Is it not a proper message for discussion forums? Probably! But there is no support anymore to contact. All "contact support" links end up here. You are not trying to help your customers with their problems, you invite to discuss them. How nice!
Could you please give some response to the issue? So far i've only seen reports of desperate users trying to fix the problem.

Hello, w00dman. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
We are sorry to hear this. You may try the below fixes:
Close some applications and try again
In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory
The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card free space is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, for example:
"Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
"Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
Free your Phone memory
Transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options > Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following items:
Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
Define a shorter sync period in Mail settings to remove retrieved e-mails.
Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache).
Saved images, videos, or sound files.
Contact information.
Calendar notes.
Downloaded application packages.
If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
Any other data that you no longer need.
Use the memory card in the Camera application (select Options > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). Or copy images and video clips to your PC with Nokia Suite.
Let us know how it will go.
