Hello,
Maps can be used offline to avoid data charges, however the following will not be available in Offline Mode:
View Satellite maps
View Terrain maps
Search the latest address/POI database
Real-time Traffic and Safety updates
Share your status, photos and location to your Facebook profile (Maps 3.03 Only)
Get Weather forecasts
See local event info from WCities (Maps 3.03 Only)
Access Lonely Planet city guides (Maps 3.03 Only)
Access the Michelin restaurant guide (Maps 3.03 Only)
Synchronize your locations with Ovi Maps on the internet
You can switch between Online and Offline mode by going to the Maps Settings and:
Select Internet
Select Connection or Go Online at Start-up
Please Note: Switching between Online and Offline mode in Maps will not prevent data charges through the use of positioning settings such as AGPS and WiFi/Network positioning. These will need to be turned off in the Positioning Settings on your device. Please see your device manual for more information.
Taken from the Maps Faqs:
Avoid Data Charges
Hope this helps,

How can i install GPS navigator for Nokia 5800 ?

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide-
turned on sensor in phone settings, but when i touch the PHONE it does not work.
Please, tell me how use this function or maybe my phone is out of order

As long as your Sensor Settings are On within Menu, Settings, Phone, Sensor Settings then you just need to do the following -
Tapping
The tap function allows you to quickly
mute and reject calls and alarm tones, and
to display a clock just by double-tapping
the back or front of the phone when the
slide is closed.
Select Menu > Settings > Phone >
Sensor settings to activate the tap
function and vibration feedback.
Mute calls or alarms
Double-tap the phone.
Reject a call or snooze an alarm after
muting it
Double-tap the phone again.
Display the clock
Double-tap the phone.
(If you have missed calls or received new
messages, you must view them before you
can see the clock.)
Simply, if you double tap the screen when the slide is closed and you can see the clock appear then it is working.
I hope this makes it clearer for you.

How can i install c6 firmware on nokia 5800?

how can i install c6 firmware on nokia 5800?
please help me
thanks

Wow psycho, 23k+ posts! You are quite the Overlord here!
Aside from voiding the warranty on a phone that has probably been out of warranty for at least a year, why is it against the forum rules? Symbian is open source now.... or didn't you get the memo?
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimite...

I have just purchased a Nokia 5130 XpressMusic mobile phone which came with music. I have previously had a similar phone which came with music which for the last year I have been using. That unlimited downloads has now expired.
So I have plugged in my new phone, which I have not used to purcahse any music with through my old unlimited downloads, and it is saying:
You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimited edition mobile.
Can someone please tell me why not? The phone is capable of playing music (it is an XpressMusic mobile). I have specifically gone and purchased this phone for the unlimited downloads and will not be very happy if I am unable to activate it.
Many thanks,
Tania

Hi Tania,
Like @petrib mentioned you should be able find local Nokia Care details behind that Contact us -link up right in this page (or if you tell which country you are in I can check the details for you).
You could also update to latest Nokia Music Player which has just become available e.g. here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-music-support and see if activation would work with that.

Want to know how the GPS works on nokia 5800?

Hi, are there any documentation explaining the working principle of how gps on nokia 5800 actually works? I want a kind of in-depth understanding...Thanx in advance.

Network based positioning is the fastest, but most inaccurate. Basically, it looks at what cell tower you're connected to, and approximates your location to be the location of that tower. The phone will use this FIRST (if you have enabled it), because it gives you an approximiate position while you wait for GPS to work.
Integrated GPS is the actual GPS receiver built into your phone. It receives signals from the network of GPS satellites and calculates your position. Due to the inherent design of the civilian GPS system, it takes time for the receiver to see enough satellites to figure out where you are. Because sometimes this time can be 5 minutes or more, the cell companies developed Assisted GPS.
Assisted GPS (AGPS) is just regular GPS, helped out by a server on the internet. Your phone will take partial GPS data (not enough to get a fix on its own), and send that data to a server (in our case supl.nokia.com). The server knows a LOT more about the exact locations of GPS satellites at any given time, so based on partial information it can compute a very good approximation of your location. This happens very quickly because a server has a much more powerful processor, and many more resources, than your phone (to put it simply). The amount of data actually sent is very very small (less than 1KB every time). AGPS helps out in getting a position fix quickly when the gps receiver hasn't been used for a while, or when you are in an area without great GPS reception.
So the order of methods used by the phone in your case is as follows. First it will give you an "approximate" position using Network Based Positioning. This will happen almost instantly. Then the phone will immediately get to work trying to get a GPS fix, and will use the AGPS server if you have allowed it to. Note that you must have an internet plan with your cell provider for AGPS to work, since it sends data to supl.nokia.com which is on the internet.
Hope that clarifies things,
Ravi

Nokia N97 can't send picture message to Nokia 5800...

I have a Nokia 5800 and my partner has a N97 and he can receive my picture messages but he is unable to send to my phone. We have gone through all the trouble shooting with our service providers.
I put my sim card in two other new nokia 5800's and the message didn't come through, I then put my sim card in a different brand phone and I got the picture message! The phone shop said it must be a incompatibility between to two phones, I don't understand how two new nokia's can't send a picture message, has anyone heard about this? Any fixes??
Thanks

I have the same problem as you with picture messages. I have a friend in Australia who has a Nokia E71 and she cant either. This has happened ever since i have had a Nokia phone both N85 8GB and now my N97.
I havent found a answer and we had no troubles when i had a sony ericsson could send and receive pictures.

Qosmio F55-Q502 can't use GPS in Vietnam and Southeast Asia

I have a Toshiba Qosmio F55 Q502 Laptop with Garmin GPS integrated system buy from US.
But when i carry it to Vietnam and try to use GPS, it not work.
I open Garmin Mobile PC, It just have US and EU maps.
I try to turn on GPS, but the satellite signal always empty.
I've tried to go around many places with clear sky view but cound'nt catch the sattelite signal.
I though that GPS is Globe Positioning system that mean it can be use everywhere over the world.
I dont know may be my GPS have problem or the GPS can't use in VietNam.
My laptop has just bought a few days and i haven't tried GPS in US before.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

GPS is worldwide, but the maps you get with a device are genreally not.
So the GPS should be able to get a satellite fix anywhare on the planet for as long as there is good singal, but you might have to purchase the maps of the country you want (unless just having your current coordinates is enough for you).
Take the laptop somewhere with no tall buildings around you and an unobstructed view of the sky and wait for it to get a fix (it might take up to 10-15 mins on a cold start depending on the GPS chip). Don't try this inside a house or a car just to minimise any complicating factors.

Can you use GPS and Navigation on a 5230 without a...

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if you can use the Maps software on a 5230 without a SIM card. It works perfectly well with one, but the sim I will use in this phone does not have a data package, so I don't want to use Maps if I can only get GPS data in conjunction with a data connection.
Could someone please advise?
Thank you!
John.

Hi GarfordJB
Yes you can as just put my 5230 into "Offline" profile, but bear in mind that takes longer to lock on to position as totally dependent upon Integrated GPS.
You would need to go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods and disable all except "Integrated GPS" as per screenshot here:http://i50.tinypic.com/2lk4g1w.jpg
In Maps application click on "spanner" icon bottom left of screen > Internet and set "Connection" to "Offline"

Can't use my purchased credit - Nokia Xpressmusic ...

In music store I purchased a credit of 25 €. The purchase is displayed as "Last Purchase" and "Pay € 25, get €27", but I can't use it. When I'd like to buy music I'm always asked to pay again. The amount of credit shown at my account wasn't increased by the purchased credit.

This a user forum. Nothing can be done here.
You should be able to contack Adobe Support and get a roll back of the number of installs for each paid for license. You should have two.
If you have no record of the download, the serial number or anything else, you may be in for a purchase!
Good luck.

Can I use gps applications like tomtom at the ipad mini with mobile data transfer turned off?

Need help about ipad mini.
The information on the apple web page refers that only the 3G versions have gps capabilities.
Wath is not clear to me is if the gps works only when coneted with 3G data transfer, or it works without it, if I download some software like tomtom or navigon.
Best regards
Pedro

You can use it without being connected to 3G. Only the 3G/4G iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't, and you can use apps such as TomTom with it which contain the maps, you don't need to be connected to 3G (or even have activated 3G on the iPad) or wifi to then use it.

Can you use GPS app while talking on the phone at the same time?

Hi I'm just curious because I will be getting a iPhone 4 in May and I wanted to know if it's possible to be in a phone call while also using an GPS app?
Does the GPS app use the data connection or the GPS signal or satellites?
Thanks a bunch!
Bruce

Thanks and I also did some research and found out that with GPS active, if you load your route/directions prior to making a phone call the route will be cached and navigation still works. The GPS will tell you where you are along the route.
But if you're on the phone and then try to load a map or navigation it will not load your route until it can download the map, meaning you will need to wait until you get off the phone call to download the info.
So if you know you will need to use navigation, turn on your GPS, load your map/route to start navigation, then make your phone call. Makes sense to me now and if anyone needs to know here is the solution right here.
