Nokia 5800 and GPS and standby

How do you prevent the 5800 phone going into to standby while using the GPS maps?
While driving it a pain to constently bring out of standby - not worryed about going flat as it is on charge ... Help where are the settings?

Sorry, I should have been clearer when i said in your maps application...
I didn't mean the main menu's settings, I meant when you launch the maps application itself, there are settings IN the application.
Please go to Maps > Options > Tools > Settings > Navigation > Backlight...
Hope that clears it up for you.

Nokia 5800 Emails Faxes and messages prob

Hello all
I've had my Nokia 5800 for about a month or so now. When i first got it it was all good, the phone randomly restarted once and after that, up in the right corner it says i have new messages, faxes and emails. I didnt connect my email with my phone, nor do i have any fax related info. Also the message icon that is appearing is different than the one of the text message pic. I was just wondering is there any way to remove these?
Thanks

This icon indicates that the SIM card's own text message storage is full. This doesn't actually cause problems on the 5800 because it stores its messages in the phone's own memory, but the envelope can look a bit annoying.
To get rid of the flashing envelope:
On the standby screen press the white menu button.
Select "Messaging"
Select "Options"
Select "SIM Messages"
Delete some or all of the messages from the SIM messages folder using the Options menu.
This should make the flashing envelope go away. You only have to do this once because when the SIM card is emptied it won't fill any more, as the 5800 does not store messages on SIM cards.

Nokia 5800 Social Network and Internet/Email conce...

Having owned the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for a couple of months or so, I must say that I really like the phone and it has great functionality.
My main concerns/issues however are outlined below:
1. Facebook for Nokia app is slow, does not show all of the functions that m.facebook.com shows and isn't a homescreen widget (e.g. push notifications)
2. Communities app is even slower and again does not have the functionality of m.facebook.com and doesn't show notifications at all!
3. The Nokia Messaging app insists on connecting to 3G all the time, rather than a wifi connection when available. I've also experienced intermittent issues when trying to connect (sometimes it stays offline and even selecting 'Go online' doesn't wake the program up).
4. Default web browser keeps crashing and doesn't support larger websites (I experience intermittent crashes as well as memory issues). I do not receive such issues in Opera Mobile. I also dislike the defaulting to full screen mode all the time. If you turn full screen off, as soon as you navigate to a different page it goes back to full screen again, therefore increasing the activity on the phone and it takes longer to load the page before you can scroll or click another link.
I think I've covered all of my main concerns but in essence this device really needs better app support and social networking integration.
I would be grateful if I could be given an update on if/when we can expect to receive such support.
If anyone else agrees, please indicate below along with any additional feature requests relating to this topic.
Thank you for your time in reading this post.

Same issues here, facebook is almost unuably slow (it's quicker to boot up the laptop!)
Messeging will not use wifi and i have a limited data plan so can't use it for attachments.
Web browser randomly exits for no reaseon and the lack of width adjustment is infuriating
Now ovi store's won't let me download!

Nokia 5800 MusicXpress GPS not working!

Hi All
I'm from New Zealand, i bought nokia 5800 XpressMusic few months ago.
I don't seem to be able to get the GPS running.
Can someone please help me to get the GPS running.
I'm using Ovi Maps and if i try and search for my position it keeps waiting and never does anything (the red dot keeps flashing). I tried this outside in a clear day with my friend next to me trying on thier iPhone and getting a good sginal
Ovi Maps version on my phone is v3.04
My Phone's Softare version is V 51.0.006
Maps were downloaded and updated using Nokia Ovi PC Suite 2.2.1.23
Thank you in advance

Select only Integrated GPS
In Maps Menu (Spanner Icon).. select OFFLINE mode..
Go in an area open to sky and wait for some time.. (depending upon the Location and Environment you may have to wait between 5 and 25 minutes..)and you will definately find Your Location... Once you get the GPS Lock as it is known... you will not find any difficulty in Navigation..
Using Maps in ONLINE Mode and use of A-GPS / Network aided GPS will make use of Network Data which may be expensive..

can anyone tell if they have experienced this problem in their new 5800, the issue with my phone is that I cannot connect to any WIFi connection, it gives an error message and also the auto rotation function does not work.

Can any one help me, the phone is just 3 days old.

Thanks....now its sitting at nokia care with the promise that they want to change the mother board. Still waiting.....

NOKIA 5800 xm GREIF and FRUSTRATION

Hi,
Well after 2 days of ownership i was starting to like this phone and had installed google maps and setup my pop3 email etc.
Today installed all the software off dvd-disc onto PC, but eveytime i connect the usb lead to the phone in any application eg ovi or nokia music, it restarts the PC- driving me nuts. On my wifes new dell laptop the disc wont even load it just crashes it.
Today also tried to dowload and install bbciplayer. It is not in applications, and in downloads says 'downloaded', when i click here to 'open' it brings up bbc iplayer webpage with donload now button which does nothing.
This may be because the phone is running old firmware, I don't know. I'd like to be able to find out what i'm running and try updates but i can't connect the phone to my pc. On a symbian website they tell you to enter #0000# or something similar to check firmware but this didn't work.
Please help,
John

Ok firstly i've had to sign up again to this forum as i couldn't log back in with my previous username- Holy Cow this phone is winding me up.
On the o2 forum someone told me to forget the nokia disc and just use pcsuite and nsu. This has worked on my spare pc, but my main pc just RESTARTS everytime i connect the usb lead. My old 6280 used to connect by usb to pcsuite without any problems.
My firmware is 11.0.009 which is probably why the BBCiplayer wont work, at least for now as nsu says i have the latest software- I am in UK.
Just found out too that the phone wont work very well with blue and me handsfree system in my Fiat. Can't use phonebook, and wont seem to hold pairing. My old 6280 worked superbly and connected /disconnected automatically everytime i used the car, and i could use voice commands for contacts- now i can't.
Pretty fed up.

Nokia 5800 - Bad GPS reception lately (maybe after...

Hello,
When I first got the phone (about 3 months back), the GPS reception was fine. In buildings it didn't find sattelites, but when I was outside it was no problem. But lately the reception is really bad. Even when I'm outside and not in range of large buildings, my 5800 can only find a few sattelites.
I think it maybe is since I upgraded the firmware of my phone to v30, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone know what I can do about it? It's really annoying!
Thank you all in advance

May be you have deleted the Maps data. Connect the phone to PC thru' USB and thru' Windows Explorer browse for the 'Cities' folder and the 'qf' files on the Phone / Memory card. Delete them. Now disconnect the phone and open Maps..and close them after some 20-30 seconds so that the folder structure is recreated. Now connect the phone again and open Nokia Suite . Go to Maps in the Nokia suite and select the Maps you want to download / install.. and click the appropriate tab. Once installed you should be able to use the Maps once again ...

An appeal to Nokia - GPS and time

This is an appeal to Nokia to create products that make use of the fact that GPS receivers can give accurate time.
I'm an amateur astronomer, and GPS and Java-enabled mobile phones are an absolute godsend - I can whip out my phone and, with a built-in GPS and the right software, it will figure out where I am and hence what is visible in the sky.
EXCEPT that what is visible in the sky is also dependent on the time. And sometimes, having access to accurate time can make all the difference.
For instance, I am currently working on updating software I wrote to calculate the circumstances of total solar eclipses - something that a GPS-enabled mobile phone is perfect for. And a couple of seconds error in the phone's clock can make all the difference.
So please please Nokia make use of the fact that GPSes can give (astonishingly) accurate time.

To sync to GPS time on your Nokia phone, you need either Free TimeSync or FreeTimeBox,
These are free ware apps which allow you to sync to GPS time.
here's a link to Free TimeBox
http://nucellphone.com/freetimebox-v1-06-for-nokia-s60v5
Its the newest version compatible for s60v5, but AFAIK it should work on non touch phones as well.

Nokia 5800 Problems(battery + Reliacne GSM)

I have bought New Nokia 5800 XpressMusic on 15th November 2009(1month ago)
***But I think I am getting less battery life as compared to company assurance.
company says that battery lasts after
Talktime: 8.8Hours OR
Standby: 406Hours OR
Video Calling: 3Hours OR
Music Playback: 35 Hours OR
Video Playback: 5Hours(Mpeg4) OR 3Hours(nHD)
But my usage are as follows(PER DAY, 24hours)(2G):
at least 100 to max 170 Text messages,
at most 1:15 Hours music playback,
5 to 6 image capture,
At most 1 call (hardly one!)
No GPS
And network mode is selected as GSM because it causes battery last longer.
then also if i charge battery COMPLETELY ( until it says charging complete/battery full) at 6AM, then at 6AM on the next day only 2 or sometimes 3 bars are shown on battery indicator (on default theme)
IS THIS OKAY?
*** My second problem.
I have downloaded Guitar, Drum and othe music apps and SPB Brain Evolution from Nokia.
And I am using Reliance GSM sim card(in INDIA ONLY).
but when i open them Error comes out:This Application cannot be started on device other then Nokia 5800/India.
And application closes.(brain evolution)
and ,usic applications give error as this app can only be run on india telco simcard or something like that.
What should i do?
Please Help.
яєgαя∂ѕ,
gιяιѕн©®

The stated times for battery life by the company is at max efficiency modes, and can never be reached in real life. For example, to reach around 30hours of music playback, you need to set it to the lowest volume, lowest screen display brightness, offline mode, display off at 5 secs, etc...Meaning that you're basically turning everything off except for music player. Oh yeah, to make sure the battery is full, countdown only starts once its already playing and you unplug it from the charger. Basically you wont do that in real life. The 5800's actual real life battery performance is about one and a half days of moderate usage.
The phone lasts for me from about 6am to 12nn the next day (turns off), with about 100texts per day, 3 or 5 calls, random music playback (hardly an hour a day), 2 hours of internet. I have my 3G on at times, but I have reduced haptic feedback to lowest levels (this eats a lot of battery), touch tones are disabled, display brightness at about 3/4.

FREAKING CASE FOR NOKIA 5800!!

I apologize for my upper-caps message title, but I am getting quite angry. I just bought a Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, and I am looking for a simple holster similar to what I had for my Blackberry.

Help would be STRONGLY appreciated. Thanks.

Hi dragao20,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
In order to fix this issue, I would advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone. Enter *#7780# on your keypad, default lock code is 12345.
If the problem persists, I would suggest you to perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad. Default lock code is 12345.
The hard reset will dellete all your personal information, that's why a back up is very important.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Hope this helps and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
Pfrancoise

Using Nokia 5800 GPS and accepting a call

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to answer calls while the GPS is on on my Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. Currently, when I use the GPS and someone calls, I tap the answer button, but I get a message that says not allowed. I was looking around in the settings, but can't find anything. I was hoping there would be a way to answer the call and turn on the speakerphone so I can drive and talk at the same time. Anyway know if this is possible?
Thanks!

Getting my first call during active turn-by-turn navigation, I wondered about this strange behaviour too. As it is I dont see any green phone icon on the navigation screen. With the terminal placed in the included windscreen fixture, it is hardly traffic safe to have to press many buttons to get the handsfree activated! Nokia could consider another option on the main screen when a call is waiting to be accepted, for going directly to speakerphone-mode, or at least a configurable option within the maps application. As of now it jumps back to the maps app, which induces the added (two) press of the application switch button. I suppose buying a separate handsfree kit might 'solve' this basic issue, but that should really not be needed out-of-the-box with a dedicated navigation edition. If someone figures a setting that I have overlooked, I would be pleased to get a hint, thx.
