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 :-)

  • Fullscreen QWERTY keyboard in Nokia 5800

    In v40 firmware, it is said that Fullscreen QWERTY keyboard has been removed. But I could see it while using Opera Mobile 10. Is there any way so that Fullscreen QWERTY keyboard option is available in other places as well, like in messaging, while using nokia browser etc.

    It wasnt removed. When in the alphanumeric keypad, just tilt your phone sideways to landscape mode and it will automatically show full qwerty. It only appears if you hold the phone in landscape. After all, what's it's use if you hold it in portrait.

    That said at the end of the day 5800XM is still lazy rotating say compared to 5230 and on mine can be a bit hit or miss with v51.0.006.

  • 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.

  • Nokia 5800 Layout trouble!

    Hey guys,
    About a month ago, my new nokia 5800 which i recieved on a plan using virgin fell into water. I bought a new one from a website called topbuy.com.au, which came from Hong Kong, although claimed to be made at the same factory as all the other phones. When i received my new phone, i was suprised to see that everything seemed to be in order, and that it all looked fine.
    When i started the phone i noticed many problems with my layout. It all seemed very awkward, and the Add button for the quick contact function was large. I also had 2 buttons saying telehpone and contacts at the bottom of the screen instead of the 2 icons that were there on my older phone. I also do not have the full screen qwerty keyboard available, or atleast cannot find it, when i want to text. Another small thing i noticed was that when i scrolled through with the stylus, for example through the messageing menu, instead of stopping at the top or bottom it would keep scrolling untill i stopped.
    Sorry for the wall of text, but i would appreciate any help that anyone could offer.
    Thanks!

    It sounds like your new 5800 has the new version 40 firmware on it.
    This version includes a new and improved contacts homescreen that allows for 20 contacts instead of 4.  It's not possible to have the old version back.  If you aren't bothered about the contacts homescreen you can switch to the shortcuts screen giving you back the two icons.
    Menu > Settings > Personal > Home screen > Home screen theme > Shortcuts bar
    The scrolling you have noticed is called kinetic scrolling. This was also added in v40 and cannot be disabled.  The faster you swipe the faster it will move.
    The full screen qwerty appears automatically when you rotate the phone when using the alphanumeric keyboard.  Auto rotate needs to be enabled in the settings for this to work.

    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.

  • Wishlist for Nokia 5800 V21+

    So you've seen that 5800 has it's new update V21.0.025 up and running and we can see some changes/Updates but not major ones..
    What major updates would you love to see in you Nokia 5800's other upcoming Versions ? (minor ones aswell) 
    Nokia 3230, Nokia 6255i, Nokia 6500s, Nokia N72, Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia 5800 XM, Apple Iphone 3G

    the thing that i wanted the most is the standby screen rotation.. i know it's not very difficult to insert this issue in the firmware, as did nokia have made the more difficult improvements before. so i believe this is very simple for them, but they juz dun wanna make the standby screen to autorotate.
    1) auto-rotation for standby screen.
    2) add another "stop" button in music player, so it would look like "backward" "stop" "play&pause" "forward"
    3) camera colors and sharpness improvements, especially in Landscape & Sports mode, the sharpness is not that good in Landscape, and noises when using Sports scene. colors are dull and always have to adjust the color tones to "vivid"in order to have better color pictures.
    4) hope the "turn to silent" function can add another "turn to hang calls"...
    5) better touch sensitivity
    6) better bass reproduction on music player
    7) better if can have smaller shortcut icons, so that we can put more shortcuts on the standby screen
    8) a better auto-rotation theme effects
    9) can create own new folders in menu
    10) improve in the speed of the hp when using 8GB memory card

  • Reasons to hold onto my Nokia 5800???

    The battery ran out on my Nokia 5800 the other day and I had my old Nokia E51 spare and it was nearly charged up so I popped in my sim card and away I went, this only started me thinking why did I give up on my E51 for a Nokia 5800. My E51 has a screen I can see when the backlight times out, the battery standby life is tons better than the 5800 (touchscreen phones drains batteries I hear) I can get a good version of Internet radio on my S60 V3 E51 (something that they never developed to work on S60V5) I can have a screensaver on my E51 (the Nokia 5800 screen goes blank) the missed calls notification light on the E51 is more noticeable, The camera on the E51 (even though the E51 hasn't got a LED flash) is tons better than the camera on the 5800 (which is very grainy pictures in low light) the E51 is lovely to hold (and don't feel like I am holding the brick like 5800) the E51 fits comfortably into my pocket as its slim, The home screen has the calendar entries and six shortcuts without me having to purchase an app (as in shell for 5800), I can turn on and off Bluetooth simply by just long press on the star key. 
    So really all I am missing is the qwerty (I like that on the 5800), the Stereo Speakers/sound of the 5800 the contact bar of the 5800, er I think that's just about it unless anyone else can think of any other reasons why I should hold onto and use my Nokia 5800?
    I know what I really want but there is no way I could get it I suppose, what I want is a Nokia exactly same size as the E51 with a pull out qwerty keyboard, flash, Same quality camera as the E51, even a E52 which I have held doesn't feel as nice to hold in the hand as the E51, and the E52 is missing that lovely chrome surround and smooth battery plate that the E51 has. - I dunno you would think with modern technology that a person who has had/used a Nokia 5800 would never want to go back to using an older E51 model but with me I feel reluctant going back to using the 5800 now and much prefer using the E51 now!

    After using 5800 for a month,i once took out my old 1100 and it felt loads better!! Now i only use 1100 for texting and calls but 5800 is still with me for browsing purposes.I now understand the saying Old is Gold!!

  • Nokia 5800 Annoyances

    I've just got the Nokia 5800 and think it's a great phone but there are a few annoyances that I have with it.
    1.  No predictive text on QWERTY keyboard
    2.  The notification light (white button) is inadequate
    3.  If screen is off, it doesn't light up when new messages arrive
    4.  There seems to be no msoffice or pdf compatible viewer/editor
    I'm hoping that nokia will rectify some or all of these in future updates.  Does anyone know of any inexpensive ways round these problems?  

    The only thing I could see to be fixed is the 4th point. There's the MobiSystem Office Suite and QuikOffice Adobe Reader LE Touch. I don't know if QuickOffice do a s60v5 touch version about the QuickOffice Office Suite. You culd buy or "come to the dark side of the force". Just your choose xD

  • Nokia 5800 With a Capacitive Screen..

    " South East Asian models of the smartphones have already received the update and the rest of the world should follow soon. There are also rumours that the firm will update the 5800XM with a capacitive touchscreen which will improve navigation and responsiveness greatly."
    ( Extracted from - Click HERE )
    and lots of other sites are talking about the same as well... 
    More Confirmation ( Click Here ) 
    Don't you feel a bit ripped off with this...You buy a brand new one and within a couple of month they release another version of the same model with a capacitive Screen. Sucks man...I feel like I am a Guinea Pig, They checked if we would love the phone, We did, and now they are upgrading.

    Two options are better than one, namely, lock screen manually or automatically. Is it an impossibility?
    Am not sure about your requirement (..sorry, did not understand it)..but on Nokia 5800xm you can either automatically lock the screen after a pre defined period..or simply keep it Unlocked infintely. Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Phone Management-->Auto Keyguard..set the period to User defined or None as you desire...But, even with this set to None.. the display will go out between 5 and 60 seconds max. (..again user defined) ..Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Display-->Light time-out ...
    ...and further check THESE applications ...

  • OMA E-mail Notification - nokia 5800 - nokia email...

    hi,
    i have a problem using the e-mail notification from the automatic retrieval options for Nokia 5800. Again, it is not auto retrieval for messages or headers. It is a notification that it suppose to appear to my phone telling me "you've got mail" That does not happen even when i have new e-mails in my mailbox. Can any body help me? When i retrieve the messages, it ok, i receive them, but that s not the point. Maybe it is a gsm network provider issue? I use Vodafone in Romania.
    Or, if this doesn't work, the Nokia Email software will be available for Nokia 5800 or already is?
    thanks

    i had the same problem. The thing is, the email notifications do not seem to do anything (?) . The solution is to activate e-mail recovery (for example every five minutes), this way you'll get the notifications of new e-mails. But the problem is that then it starts to download all the messages in your inbox (when it is enabled, you cant choose how many emails you want to retrieve from your mailbox). I use that for gmail (i only have about 200 mails -it works fine) but for my hotmail inbox it downloads the 2000 messages headers (only headers !) and the phone gets really really slow every time i open that mailbox (in messaging app).

  • Nokia 5800 Serious Problems not Solved??

    I have been using 5800 for over 4 months and I have updated my firmware whenever it is available but none of the firmware updates solved the following very serious problems that turned my phone into a useless thing:
    First thing is the text messaging problem:
    -While writing in Turkish language, while the number of letters in a SMS got higher and higher just a little bit(more than 50 characters), writing a SMS became painful, because it got slower and and slower so you cannot write your SMS properly and fast! The last thing that make me crazy is that I write a SMS more than 300 characters in over 10 MINUTES!!! (This problem must immediately be solved)
    I hoped that v21 update will solve the problem but it did not, my older Nokia 1110 can write SMS under a minute no matter how long is the SMS is...
    Second problem is the snyc between phonebook and calendar:
    -The problem is that you can add birthdays under persons in phonebook but why cannot we set those dirthdays as calendar events???!!!
    V21 neither solved this problem!
    Third problem flash not full screen!:
    - The last thing is that when ever I start a flash .swf file in works properly but when I try to change the resolution to full screen, a useless screen keyboard pops up and you cannot chose to close this, so in reality you cannot use flash .swf files fullscreen!
    The problems above are serious problems, that make the phone useless and must immediately be solved,
    DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS ABOVE?
    THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS ANYWAY...

  • Nokia 5800 - calendar issue

    The alarm for calendar events on my phone has suddenly stopped working. Instead of my phone alerting me of a todo note, it says "alarm missed due to time change" (or words to that effect) when I open the calendar after the alarm was due.
    Multiple restarts haven't solved this issue. Anyone have any ideas?
    Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

    Yes, but I've had the phone for 2 months now and automatic time update has always been turned on, this problem only started a few days ago.
    I'll try turning auto update off and see if that helps, thanks

  • Keyboard local Nokia 5800

    I want to ask development support it is possible to be developed for the Nokia 5800 keyboard with phonetic placement of keys in the Bulgarian language. The proposed standard keyboard with BDS use is available for writing with 10 fingers, but understand it is impossible to be located ten fingers on the screen 5800. Most of the users of this model in Bulgaria using the U.S. English keyboard, for writing in Bulgarian with Latin letters, because Bulgarian BDS has a different location letters. The next question is there a tool, that can configure the keyboard and install it in the phone. I guess that would be the easiest way to deal with many problems.
    Thanks for the suggestions and assistance.

    It wasnt removed. When in the alphanumeric keypad, just tilt your phone sideways to landscape mode and it will automatically show full qwerty. It only appears if you hold the phone in landscape. After all, what's it's use if you hold it in portrait.

  • N_gage in nokia 5800 xpress music

    why nokia 5800 xpress music dont has n-gage but nokia n97 has it and they are nearly to each other and they are from the last phones

    After gathering information from various sources I have finally managed to compile a decent guide to install NGage on the Nokia 5800XM using the files which have been circulating the web for the past week.
    If you have any questions please PM me on the forum or reply to the topic and I will try my best to help.
    Installing NGage
    Step 1
    Download the NGage Install Package which I have compiled below:
    - http://www.1filesharing.com/download/RIROTQGS/NGage%20-%20Nokia%205800.rar
    Step 2
    For this to correctly work, you will need to have your phone hacked, this should be no problem providing you have a little confidence and common sense. I can confirm that using HelloOX does work as it is the method I used and I can use NGage fine. If you're phone is already hacked with HelloOX and you're having trouble, ensure that all patches (open4all etc. are applied and set to auto using ROMPatcher.
    Step 3
    Copy the file "NGage 2.0 Installer.sis" to your phone and install it. You will need to sign the file using SignSIS GUI or a similar application, you should already have a certificate if you have hacked your phone as you need to sign HelloOX to hack successfully. The install process will take quite some time and you will be prompted to press "Yes" to various warnings. I can confirm that no harm has come to my phone from this process, however, proceed at your own risk. I take no responsibility.
    Step 4
    Once NGage has been installed, you will be able to find it under "Applications" on your phone. The icon will be an orange "N" and it will say "Games" underneath. To play NGage games they must be copied to "E\N-Gage" with "E\" being your memory card.
    Controlling NGage
    Since NGage is designed for phones with a keypad, and the Nokia 5800 is almost completely touchscreen, the controls must be customized. I have so far come up with two solutions, they are as follows.
    Control Method #1
    This is the most stable and easy to configure control scheme, I can confirm this works OK.
    Step 1.
    Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" which can be found in the "Control Method #1" folder of the Install Package.
    Step 2.
    Run the virtual keyboard application from your "Applications" menu and then start the NGage application. You can use the Virtual Keyboard to control your games.
    Control Method #2
    This control scheme is still a work in progress but, with some fiddling and a varying degree of luck, you may be able to get it to work. Some people have confirmed it working with different settings. I feel that this setup, if working correctly, would be the best way to control NGage on a Nokia 5800. I would like to request feedback from anyone who has this method working!
    Step 1
    Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" and then "Virtual Key.sis", both of which can be found in the "Control Method #2" folder of the Install Package.
    Step 2
    Start up "Virtual Keyboard" so that you have it running on screen and then proceed to start up "Virtual Key".
    Step 3
    In the Virtual Key application, choose "Options" then "Load Mode" and choose "Custom Mode 1".
    Step 4
    Press "Options" then "Add". Highlight "Original Key" and then press the Right arrow on the Virtual Keyboard application you loaded earlier. Then highlight "Mapped Key" and hold down the "Volume -" key then press the "Volume +" key. If all has worked correctly the mapped key should change to "Vol+". Then do the same for the following
    Vol+ .................. Left
    Vol- ................... Right
    No ..................... Up
    Yes ................... Down
    Camera .............. K
    Then press "Options" and save your "Custom Mode 1".
    Step 5
    Set the Virtual Key application to run in the background and completely exit the Virtual Keyboard application.
    Step 6
    Start up the NGage application and try to play a game. Hopefully the Up/Down volume keys will control Left/Right when holding the phone horizontally, and the other keys should do what you mapped them to above. You may have to use the volume keys in the same way you had to set them (Hold down Vol- and press Vol+ etc. So now hopefully you can play NGage. Let me know of any other control schemes you guys come up with!
    The installer and key mappers are freeware, but you need to purchase the games legally at www.n-gage.com.
    I'm an Xploit - Please feel free to post your issues, feedbacks in this discussion forum and I'll do my level best to help, otherwise my knowledged friends whom are around willing to help you. Thank you !
