Nokia 5800 apps and updating firmware

Hi all
Quick question regarding installed apps and updating the firmware... I install all my apps onto the phone itself rather than the memory stick. Firstly i've been told that this isn't a good idea (i'm not not sure why) Can anyone think of any reasons? I do it as I've found some apps do not work when they are on the memory card for some reason.
Anyway, since they are all on my c: of the phone will updating the firmware delete them all? I'm not sure if a firmware update resets it back to factory settings or just updates it but leaves everything how it is?
Can anyone help? I would test it but my phone is already up to date!
Thanks

The 5800 has UDP (User data preservation) so in theory your data and applications should be safe when you update. However it always better to be safe than sorry so do backup your phone.
If the phone memory was big enough, I would probably install all applications on it as it runs faster. However the reality is the phone memory is very small and you will run low on phone memory after just a few applications. So a balance is required where some applications which are perhaps used more often and those which will only work from the phone memory are intalled on it., The remainder will unfortunately have to go on the memory card.

Hello Sriggers,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

Try a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

Nokia 5800 won't update apps or download apps

I just got this phone yesterday and i want to do the 3 app updates (adobe flashlite 3.1, mail exchange 2.9 and nokia messaging 10.0) that it has on the list in the application folder.
but when i press start update it tries to do them but then says 3 updates failed
also i cant get the ovi store on my phone or download anything
what should i do to fix it?
thanks

Well since its brand new I expect nothing would be the problem is we put the phone through formatting and firmware reinstallation. Some guy at factory must have been half asleep.
On your phone, just dial *#7370# and lock code (by default its 12345). After which, connect to PC to Ovi Suite and update software, then perform the format again. This should ensure that the system is as squeaky clean as possible.
This isnt necessarily the solution, but its sort of the "nuke it" final straw option which in this case I doubt if its a problem on a brand new mostly still empy phone.

Nokia 5800 Screen Problems After Firmware Update V...

Hi all,
I have the Nokia 5800 navigation edition. I just updated the firmwareon it from V40. to the latest available 51.2.007. Doing so has turned the phone's screen into a huge mess - the lower half of the screen is all white and the upper half has some weired flickering and the icons(the ones that are visible) are all messed up too and some of them are not responding at all.
Heres what I've done to resolve the problem:
- remove the battery, memory and sim cards for a few hours.
- reboot the phone without the memory card(eliminating any corrupt setup files).
- reinstalled the V51.2.007 update several times using bothe the Ovi Suite and the older Nokia PC Suite updater.
- tried running the updates on all XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Can you please advise me of any other possible solutions I can try. Is there any way to revert back to the older firmware. The phone was working just fine before the update.
Thank you all for your help.

There is another way to hard reset your phone and it is as follows.
With your phone powered off, press and hold Green + Red + Camera Keys. Then power on phone using the on/off button whilst keeping the three keys depressed until you see the Nokia Shaking Hands Logo.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
This reset will revert the phone to its out of the box state, so it will revert back to the original version of Maps that came with the phone. However, this should be an issue as you can easily redownload and reinstall the latest again.

Nokia 5800 [ Screen and phone problems]

I got a problem with my nokia 5800 screen,
sometimes when my brightness is bellow 80% 2-3 flikering lines apear wherever i am ( home screen, watching a video, browser,call someone etc.)
when brightness is at 80% its normal always( maybe of the high brightness i may not see the lines)
however this is annoying and i want to know if i can do anything about it !
on top of that my phones shuts down suddenly on its own randomly!
the phone is functioning well running app without any problem and watching videos !

The 5800 is getting on in years now so it's definitely a hardware issue your facing. Your best bet is to visit a Nokia Care Point and see if it's worth the cost of repair otherwise you'd be better off getting a new phone.

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.

Nokia 5800 Express and Adobe Mobile Packager

Hi.
I wanted to use the mobile packager to get an app onto a Nokia 5800.
But I couldn't find the Nokia 5800 on the list of devices supported by the Abode Mobile Packager.
I created the app in Flash CS4...if I don't use the Mobile Packager how can I get the app onto the Nokia device?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can find a list of supported devices and countries here:

As of today we do not support the Nokia 5800 within the mobile packager, to package for this device you can use the Forum Nokia packager or SWFPack.com

Nokia 6125 Accept Software Update (firmware)?

Hi, my nokia 6125 has present a blank screen by 5 at 10 seconds and go back to main screen while I use the phone. Other things how cannot select a profile (only General profile can be use) and aleatory alarm. Using *#0000# I see Nokia Cougar RM-178 Vp 03.05. I was thinking about software update (firmware) can resolve this trouble? I'm sorry about my english... Fabricio

If it says "Nokia Prototype" and "Nokia Property", then it could be a prototype phone that was sold illegally (whomever gets them are supposed to return them to Nokia in order for the device to be destroyed after testing and after final devices become available).
A Nokia repair center will not fix or support prototypes. They also do not have any kind of warranty.
Or, someone might have just changed the startup message as a joke and it is not an actual prototype at all.
You can see if it is a prototype, also if the serial number (so called IMEI, International Mobile Equipment Identifier) starts with zeros (0). Type *#06# on the standby screen and the phone will display the IMEI.
If it really is a prototype, then you should go back to whomever sold it and request a refund of your money, and then go and buy a supported, released device, instead.
