5800 XpressMusic Software Issues

After playing the phone for about a week, I found a number of software issues as follow:
1) In the built-in web browser, it is not able to start a new line in multiline input control with the 'Enter' key.
2) The predictive text input will be turned off automatically. This is the step to reproduce the error. Enable the predictive text input. Then go to www.gmail.com. Click on the username input. Click on the password box and then click it back to the username input. You can observe that the predictive text input is turned off.
3) The keyboard input becomes slow when the text messages length is long. This is a problem when you are replying text to a prevous e-mail which you normally will have the previous e-mail conversation appended after your input.
4) The built-in web browser can not be used to connect to the facebook full site.
5) When you take the picture, the picture output is different (in terms of the exposure settings & orientation) if you use the camera button on the touch screen against the physical shutter button.
6) Calendar are not restored to the phone either using the backup created using the file manager in the phone or using the Nokia OVI suite on the PC.

o gosh ttoooo much wining ... guys im a nokia user for the past 4-5 years i used almost all the kewl gadget tyypo phones never had any issue with the phones, u guys must be downloading some third part non compatible stuff, or not supported files to your phones thats why,
i used n95 that evry body complained abt ,hanging restarting blah blah.. when it came in the begining i used and download all types of scrappy softs..i saw results. never had any problems with the phone itself ,may be some 3rd party apps gave problems once in a while. used n73,n82,n81,e51,e65,e90,e66,e71, ....... list goes on..!!! all phones for 2- 5 months... never had any problems.. i had one slight problem with n78 only ,, earpeice speaker sound was low,, then later came to know there is a screen protector covering the speaker.. thats it..
i m amazed to see all these reviews... darn.. tooo much problems.!!!
You are correct. I have not had nearly as many of these problems that people are having. Not even close. I had one of the first gen N95's with the **bleep** battery but the phone worked well after the first upgrade.
I have an open challenge to anyone here to provide one phone, just one that has no problem. From the iPhone to any SE or Samsung phone, to Motorola. ALL phones this complicated are prone to problems because us, the consumers want faster, better, more features and we want it now. The product cycle for a phone is about 6 months from conception to birth. There is no way to properly test and debug all things in this period.
So anyone, please show me where there is a perfect phone out of the box.
Show the KUDOS button some love.... Hit that bad boy.... It don't hurt....

  • 5800 Xpressmusic software update made music player...

    Hello,
    I recently used the Ovi suite program to upgrade the software of my 5800 Xpressmusic.  After the update was completed, which was to make lyrics available in the music player, I was no longer able to open the music player. I am unable to open any of the music files on my phone. I restored the phone to the status before the upgrade and still nothing works.
    Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!

  • 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.

  • Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic Software update to V30

    Hi
    I have updated my Nokia 5800 today.
    havent noticed much changes, but the phone does respond much faster.
    will keep you updated as i notice the new changes.
    Click the kudos, to say thank you.

    If you use the forums search box you will see that people have posted about the new features and issues that this firmware brings.
    Perhaps you should try it so that you know what to expect?

  • 5800 xpressmusic - internet issue

    Hi All
    Using the interent on my 5800 last night, the battery died and the phone switched off when still browsing. Since fully charged and switched on i cannot access any of my bookmarks or any of the search results when using yahoo. The page seems to open then close straight away. There appears to be an error message pop up and close before you get a chance to view it...
    I have cleared the cache and history, rebooted - no success
    I have also done a full factory reset -  no success
    any ideas before i phone T-Mobile and go round the world to get told 'take it to a service centre'?
    Thanks

    back up your data and try code number 2, read carefully
     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. )
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • 5800 Software Issue - Screen Fuzzing

    hey people! 
    I'm using a 5800XM and over the last few weeks it appears to have developed a software issue... it's not perminant its getting worse and worse!
    every time i lock the screen, then unlock it (doesn't seem to matter how long its been locked for), it will show a fuzzy screen. seems to show the correct colours eg: white and blue if i've left it on facebook, red and black when on the background etc...
    the only way i can fix this is by rebooting...
    i've wiped the phone, removed the memory card and even reset the device... still the same...
    FW Version 21.0.025 (up 2 date)
    any ideas?
    thanks... 

    The same thing happened to my 5800, at first it wasn't so bad and went back to normal but it gradually got worse and i haad to take it back. I have recentley had my phone back and they told me it needed a software update. Whilst it was getting fixed they updated my phone with the newest software and it works perfectly now, its like it was when it came out of the box!
    Hope this helps and you get it sorted.

  • 5800 XpressMusic Mass Storage issue

    I've been quite happily using my 5800 XpressMusic as an mp3 player by attaching it to my PC with the USB cable, copying over the songs/book, and then deleting them when done.  Suddenly, I'm no longer able to do this, and the contents of one of the folders on the phone seems to have become invisible. to the PC (Attempting to ls the directory gives an input/output error)  I've tried resetting to factory settings and also rebooting the machine in case udev or usbfs was to blame, but the problem persists.  Any thoughts?

    my 5800 having problem with memory stick, every time after i connect with pc and transfer date from my phone or to pc, the 5800 is unable to access to memory stick sms. error msg shows unable to access to memory stick then its switch to phone memory. why its happen and any solution? i already update firmware ver. 31.x.x but still same problem appears.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • No updates received for 5800 xpressmusic

    Many of 5800 xpressmusic phones hav received the latest update 60.0.003. But still i havn't received one. I tried checking through software updater from laptop but it says no updates available. When will i receive it? Or is there any other way to download it?

    Did you also check if its available thru' FOTA ? Dial *#0000# then under Options check for updates.. Some Product Codes got the Firmware update only this way..so pl. check.
    ..Else, wait till one is released for your Device.

  • 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.
