Nokia 5800 alarm bug auto-fix!

My Nokia 5800 (UK)
0575581
v30.0.011
Had the workdays alarm bug. The alarm would sound 3 minutes late.
But after the daylight saving automatic update the bug has disappeared.
My Date and time settings:
Time zone: Local Time
Automatic time update: On
I hope this helps.

It is in fact pretty random. The change back to GMT didn't cure the problem for me and the alarm still goes off late. The phone also switches late out of a programmed profile and the scheduled backup sometimes doesn't happen at all.
The update to V31 is reputed to fix this issue - if ever we get it for our UK CV handsets.

  • Daylight savings time and iPhone 4 alarm bug NOW FIXED???

    OK this morning i turned on my alarm and put it 1h ahead (the alarm is on repeat for the rest of the week) so the alarm goes off at the right time cos of the alarm bug.
    but this morning my alarm was set at 6:45am and went off at 6:45am rather then 7:45am (if the bug was still present)
    i have not changed my alarm and they are all repeat alarms. last week i fixed this problem by making my repeat alarm 1h ahead then normal.
    i am now confused if this issue has been fixed.
    Has this happened to anyone els?

    Thanks wjosten.
    I had been keeping an eye on this alarm bug but did not no thing changed on the 7th, guess i did not look hard enough.
    would be nice is apple had a mailing list for these kinda things. so they can inform you of an error like this
    well i am not in a rush for the 4.2 patch now sis the alarm is now working. they have now got like 5 odd months to fix this.
    looks like apple is going on the same way as windows

  • Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Bugs! (v20.0.012)

    These are the following bugs i have found in the Nokia 5800. Please do add yours to this post that you find. So other users who have not got v20 can decide if they want to update to v20.
    Bugs...
    .1.
    When receiving new message and viewing it, the little envelope icon on the left in the inbox is still set to closed. its not like previous firmware where the envelope is open once you view your message.
    .2.
    Check your battery on the right hand in the main screen just say for example u got 3 bars, now go in to music player and play a music track and u will notice it will be 2bars instead of 3. It will always be 1 bar below than what u got on the main screen battery status bar.
    .3.
    If updating from previous firmware with lock code enabled to v20. your phone will not be accessible whatever pin code u enter either ur own, or default codes... 12345, 00000 etc (BEFORE UPDATING TO V20, TURN OFF YOUR LOCK CODE !) 
    Would be great if NOKIA could add more themes with the phone rather than just one. ope to see a new update for this.

  • NOKIA 5800 XM :Bugs dependent on SIM card used

    Hi !
    It's been a couple of months now since I've been using this phone. Because I'm travelling abroad and using different network operators , I could notice few bugs related strictly on the SIM card used.
    Starting with previously firmware releases, if I'm using an Orange SIM card, sometimes when powering on the phone, just before register in the network, on the screen will appear few vertical lines, display will fade into blank and then will reboot. As a hint of what could be, if this SIM card is used in another phone, it will ask "Allow send SMS....".You must answer YES otherwise the question will appear in a short time.
    Regarding the latest firmware, 40.0.005, I've noticed when using a prepaid SIM card, that the "Settings" menu will not show anything when accessed. You need to restart  the phone in order to gain access on the folders from "Settings".
    Just to mention that my N5800XM phone is network free.
    Thanks for attention,
    Mario

    There's No relation
    i'm also prepaid with network-free 5800
    just try to soft reset your phone and see if it works

  • 5800 - Does new firmware fix auto-rotate problems ...

    Ever since V 50.0.005 I've had problems with auto-rotate stopping working after a while (memory leak anyone ?) with a reboot being required to fix it. DAK if this is fixed in V 51.0.006 because if it is I'll go through the hassle of changing my product code to get it early as it's driving me nutzzzzz.

    The real issue lies somewhere else.. atleast thats what I think because I did not face such problem on my Nokia 5800 xm with v  50.0.005. It was happenning just occassionaly and not so frequently or permanently as some posts suggest. 
    Auto rotate should work perfectly when the phone is held vertically.i.e. the top and bottom edges at same distance from the body.. Normaly when the phone is held in palm the bottom edge is nearer than the top edge as it is slanting. The feature will not work 100% in this condition...

  • Nokia 5800 firmware v40.0.005 bugs that I faced

    I was quite happy to see the new firmware update for my Nokia 5800.  Looking at the new features like kinetic scrolling etc.. I've installed the update with no second thoughts.  I had taken the back-up of what ever I wanted and ready for upgrade.
    However, the below is the experience
    1. The update went smooth.  Phone has automatically restarted after the update.. I'm happy for few minutes.
    2. Basic functionality is fine.  Some of the applications like Opera Mobile were missing.  Understand that I need to reinstall them.  Also, wanted to update the Ovi Maps.
    3.  Tried S/W update option in the phone.  No application was able to install or upgrade.  After downloading the application, it just says update failed.
    4. Tried through PC Suite.  Experience is same.
    5. Soft reset the phone.  Now applications are getting installed or updated.  But there's another problem.
    6. Phone restarts itself upon any incoming call or alarm or any calendar alert.  This was very annoying!!
    7. Soft reset the phone again.  Imported the back-up.  
    8. With zero customizations, the basic functionality is back.
    9. Installed Opera Mobile back. Phone is working fine.  But the touch key board provided by Opera is gone.  It goes to phones default input mode.
    10.  All the applications like Fring, Google Maps, GMail are gone.
    11. Installed Fring (from Ovi store). Phone restarted.
    12. The incoming call problem is back.  I can't simply take any incoming call.  Phone reboots automatically, when I hit any option on the screen.  
    13. Uninstalled Fring.. Problem still exist.
    14. Soft reset again.. basic things are back.
    15. Don't have enough guts to install any new software.
    Summarizing:
    1. The firmware is very very unstable.  It seems to have a very narrow happy path.
    2. Beware!! Basic things like incoming calls are affected.  
    3. Some applications are not happy with new firmware.  They can break the phone.
    4. If you had any security related application like WaveSecure, do not forget to install it again. 
    Other issues found:
    1. Pause functionality has disappeared in the  Recorder tool.
    2. GPRS / WAP access points are taken in the order of preference.
    Other than kinetic scrolling, I didn't find any major difference / benefit from this update.  
    Do it at your own risk.

  • Nokia 5800 Auto Fullscreen QWERTY??

    Hi All,
    I normally just use the standard alpha numeric keypad for texting and such on my 5800. That suits me most of the time, but sometimes I like to switch to the fullscreen qwerty keyboard.
    What I am wondering is, is there a setting or something that I am missing that would allow me to have the the alpha numeric keypad as my default and when I rotate the phone the fullscreen qwerty keyboard is activated? 

    After upgrade Nokia 5800 firmware to v40.0.005, the full screen QWERTY keyboard is missing from the input method shortcut (as shown in the screenshot).
    But, you can easily turn on or enable the full screen QWERTY at wish:
    1) Click the input method icon and select “Alphanumeric keypad”,
    2) Rotate the touchscreen to landscape mode (horizontal mode, if you want to call that).
    Voila, there is the full-size QWERTY keyboard appears automatically :-)

    2) when the phone is fully charging, the LCD backlight UNABLE to turn OFF itself. I tried to charging my phone overnight, and when i wake up the next day morning, I can see the LCD backlight still turning ON.. this is something wrong here. For old firmware, I didnt encounter this problem before.

    WE ARE DOOMED! Looks like Nokia does not think the problem we faced is a firmware bug!

    Dear Mr. Wang,
    Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
    In response to your inquiry, you can first reboot the phone by turning it off and removing the battery. Wait for around 5 minutes before returning the battery and turning it on. Another option will be to restore the settings by going to Menu > Settings and Phone > Phone mgmt. > Factory settings > Lock Code (default is 12345).
    Alternatively, we suggest for you to make a backup of all important information.

    Once done, you can format the phone.To format the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, kindly dial the command *#7370# in idle mode > Lock Code (default is 12345).

  • Is there anymore updates for Nokia 5800 XM??

    Hi, I would like to know if there is anymore firmware updates for Nokia 5800 XM after V52.0.007?
    Can anyone provide me with the news?
    I am a huge fan of Nokia and their Symbian platform.. But I am getting more and more disappointed with them.
    I cannot use another OS. Cannot use new softwares. Very slow and low hardware and performances..
    I was hoping to get a Symbian ^ 3 update for my 5800 but that is not possible... So I have decided to see the last firmware update for 5800 and see if its any good. Otherwise I'll simply throw it away and start using HD2.

    There are rumors about a v60 coming out, but I quite doubt it... and even if it comes it will most likely be a failure...
    Nokia has done so much stuff wrong latelly (even Symbian^3 devices are filled with bugs and issues) and doesn't commit into fix them before launching something new based on the old ones.
    This angers the users and most likely drivens them away... Nokia was once one of the biggest (if not the biggest) name in smartphone industry... now ... iPhone, Android based and even the dieing Blackberry are way ahead of them ... only 'dumbphones' on Nokia worth some consideration...
    If you think 5800 has issues then don't look at it's more expensive brother ... the N97... so much for a top of the line phone...
    Nokia has the firmware so fragmented that makes Android look like an homogeneous mass of software...
    Because how some companies work, I start a personal blacklist of devices/brands that will never buy.... Apple and Sony are on the top of that list, Nokia will soon join them :[
    Well... true to be said, I have 2 old 'dumbphones' - one of them has a 3.2MP camera with OPTICAL zoom, while it has 6~7 years more than 5800 it beats it in screen quality, camera quality and build quality, it also cost half the value of it - that I would most likely return to once 5800 dies... because it will die...
    5800xm on a blender ... will happen sooner than expected.... v51 is a failure as an update .... v52 just postponed its fate....

  • Software update Nokia 5800

    On my Nokia 5800 if I go to software update in the menu it connects to the internet and gives me a list of what needs updating, a very good feature (if it worked OK) so I got this list which says Here & Now 2.0 and mail for Exchange, Nokia messaging 10.2, ovi contacts 1.50 and scribble. Now up the top of that list it says phone software and then underneath that it says Important, all the others are optional, now this important one set alarm bells ringing so I ticked it and see that it has to be updated by PC (seems you cannot update it OTA) so I went to the site on my PC (www.nokia.com/softwareupdate) and it said the latest firmware was 50.0.005 so I checked on my phone using *#0000# and my phone told me I had 50.0.005 firmware already on it, and when I check options it says no updates available! - so what am I to believe the software updates in the phones menu or check for updates on the *#0000# screen? - Does anyone know whats going on?, is it a bug? Thanks.

    that's applications updates. when you dial *#0000# it says phone's firmware. so v50 is the latest firmware for 5800xm. you can update your application using SW update.
    go to - menu>applications>sw update then it will automatically searches for updates select updates that you want to update then select Start Update from options menu.
    you can update these applications through OVI suit too. connet your phone via USB. then select update tab.
    Glad to help
