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 Maps and GPS

I live in New Zealand and will be travelling too Hawaii next month, if I use the phone for GPS will I be charged for global roaming data?

Hi, yes you will incurr data roaming charges, previous advice was correct, to disable AGPS you can go into setting-phone-phone mgmt-Application Settings-Positioning-Positioning methods, and un-tick everything except intergrated GPS, this will incur no data charges, and phone will work like a TOMTOM.
Good Luck (though you probably don't need it, you live in NZ and are going to Hawiai !!! Enjoy your trip)

Best Settings for Video Playback on Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
Nokia 5800 as the multimedia phones makes you able to enjoy watching the video and music with it. The question is, how’s to do to convert that videos and what are the best setting used for. I have convert many videos into my phone, I found that most video files can play with this phone such as mp4, 3gp, rmvb and flv files. But of them plays well but some are not. After many tries, I finally got the best results for Nokia video files. My video in 5800 was full screen, high quality and sounds very well. Here are my settings:
Video Resolution: 480*320

Audio Channels: 2 Channels
You can apply these settings above in whatever application you used when converting videos into 5800. Then I am sure you will get full screen, high quality and flawless video in your phone.

How to transfer video files into Nokia 5800
I have download some videos from video website such as Youtube, Google video. But I can’t watch these videos in my phone. As these videos were flv files, Nokia 5800 can’t play such videos. I use Internet Tablet Video Converter to convert it, but it shows “Unsupported Video File Type”. Then I got to know some best video converter that seems professional for Nokia phone, I free download its trial version and tried it, and it works very well. Below are what I do:
Click Add button to add video files from your computer, set your videos according to the above settings and select Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 format for your video. Then just click convert button to start the conversion. After the conversion complete, you may watch these videos with Nokia 5800.
Also you may get music from video in this way. But pay attention to the format. As Nokia 5800 support mp3 audio format, you should select “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)”.
How to convert DVD files into Nokia 5800
Obviously phones don’t have DVD drives, so to watch DVD on a phone you have to convert it into a video file on your PC then drag it into your phone. I also follow the above settings and convert DVD files into MPEG-4 video with Daniusoft DVD Ripper. the results are excellent.
After insert your DVD into the DVD Drive click the Open DVD button to upload DVD files on to this program. Click Settings button to set your videos according to the above settings I listed. Click Profile drop list to select “Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 (*.mp4)” format for your Nokia video. Then click Convert button to start the conversion. In few minutes the whole process will completed.
If you select audio format “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)” you may also get music from DVD.
To transfer files into Nokia 5800
In the above tutorial I have explain you how to convert Nokia videos from DVD and other video files. Then you need to transfer these videos into your phone.
1. Make sure your computer and phone are both switched on. Also make sure your 5800 have a memory card in its slot.
2. Plug the small end of the microUSB cable into the phone’s USB socket, which s under a plastic flap in the top left corner.
3. Plug the larger end of the microUSB cable into a USB port on your computer.
4. On your 5800 it should ask which mode you wish to use. Choose “Mass Storage”.
5. Open the memory card window (probably called “Removable Disk E:”), drag your video files into the video folder.
6. After finished transfer files, do not disconnect the cable yet. You should make it safe to disconnect the cable. You may do this by click a small icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that appears when the phone is connected.
7. After you have made the device safe to remove, you can unplug the cable at both ends.
Some useful tips to make the Nokia 5800's battery last as long as possible
Sometimes you may have to stop talking with your friend or watching videos with your phone as low power of your battery. It is more inconvenient if you are in travel and have no alternative battery. Here are some tips to make your phone battery last as long as possible when using telephone.
Do not switch the phone off. As switching a phone on uses far more battery power than simply leaving the phone on.
Shut down unnecessary applications.
Turn down the 5800’s screen brightness to the lowest acceptable level.
Switch off your 5800’s screen when not in use.
Use headphones instead of speakers when listening to music or watching movies.
Avoid using the camera flash unnecessarily.
Use 2G instead of 3G.
Switch off Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi.'

New Firmware for Nokia 5800

hello. Nokia 523x and nokia c6 are getting firmware updates. it got some interesting new updates such as qt 4.7.3 and symbian anna browser. so it will also be possible for Nokia 5800 to receive a firmware update ?

5800 had received many updates, even more than the N97/N97mini. It is less likely that 5800 or any other S60v5 handeset would get an update with new features. Not sure 5230 and C6 got updated to Anna web browser, because Anna update is only for S3 devices and when devices like N8 and E7 are waiting for Anna it is nearly impossible that older devices has got that update. You can directly install Qt to your phone anyway by downloading files from http://developer.nokia.com.

NOKIA 5800 V50.0.005. PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.

HI everyone,
I updated my NOKIA 5800 from v40 to v50 through over-the-air.
I didn't got all the features like quickoffice, cherry 2.1, Ovi music, Lifecasting, Rihanna servicelauncher.....etc
My update package was only of 9.8 MB.Now I too can't reinstall the update through my NSU or OVI updater as the latest version of NSU is not showing any option to reinstall or repair...Please help in solving the problem . I want all the features of v50.0.005 in my NOKIA 5800.THANKS..

If the update is not available for you, then its not. Just wait for it
Reasons why a phone cannot update:
1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

Nokia 5800 XM Display Problem

I have Nokia 5800 XM with its version updated to V 21.0.025. I had purchased this phone in Jan 2009 and had no major issues till yesterday.
Today when I unlocked the phone I suddenly saw a scrambled greyish display with flickring lines.
I locked & unlocked the phone again, I got back the normal screen. I repeated locking & unlocking to check whether problem still persist or not, unfortunately the scrambled display showed up every alternate time I locked & unlocked the phone.
I thought, restarting the phone will get rid of this problem, but restart didn't solve the problem.
Then I thought of resetting the phone to its factory setting. I restored the phone to its original settings through *#7370# code but it was a futile effort.
I checked about this issue on the web and found that lot of other people are also facing the same issue.
for instance check the following video link which exactly demonstrates this display problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9A7yd-2eeA
Now after a lot of reading on the web, I feel the display problem is a hardware issue and will get solved by Nokia Care people only.
I am really disappointed with Nokia for such a poor build quality of this phone.
I trusted Nokia for its superior build quality and durability and opted for this phone but it doesn't lived to its expectations.
Now lets see what happens when I take this phone to Nokia Care...

Need to downgrade Nokia 5800 software version

Hi.
I upgraded my nokia 5800 software version, but after updating half screen has gone blank and other half shows some white line coming and going, i googled and got the solution that i will need to downgrade the software version, my earlier version was v20.0.0.12, now from where can i get this v20 version?Plz help me....

@Bradleyfox
Although any data would be lost you will probably have to try resetting device to "Out of box" state by keeping these three keys depressed RED, GREEN & CAMERA whilst powering on until Nokia "Shaking hands" logo appears.
Have you removed any memory card if present before trying the above?

Nokia 5800 XM failed firmware update/GPS issues

Hello.
I'm currently having issues with my Nokia 5800. Firstly whenever attempting to update the firmware through the Nokia Ovi Suite, it fails with an "Error in the software update package configuration" error. I've read around on the forums, and I've noticed that other people have had a similar problem, but no real answer was given other than "I solved it, but I won't bother telling you how". There must be other ways to update the Nokia firmware than just relying on the Ovi Suite.
Also my GPS on the phone never manages to get a signal, no matter how much in the open I am. I'm assuming that this is probably due to the fact that I haven't updated the firmware, but if anyone else has any ideas why this is happening feel free to let me know!
Cheers

Hi, I was having the same problem but I found that if you use the Nokia Software Updater rather than the Ovi Suite it installs fine!
Hope this helps!

GPS LD-3W and nokia 5800 charger

hi , i have a nokia 5800 and a wireless gps module ( LD-3W) .
in bundle for Gps i received a DC-4 car charger but i need also charge GPS module at home .
May i use the nokia 5800 charger for this ?
i remember that :
5800 charger is 5v/890mA .. and GPS charger is 5,7v/890 mA
thanks

Someone asked so;
My 5530 charger works fine charging the LD-3W; its because nokia only every 1 of 2 chargers the large tip or the small tip.
Yes the LD-3W works really well and except for the LD-3W having some extra battery life I heard that the 3w and 4w are really quite similar.
I am not too sure on the specs of them for accuracy and positioning but when i use mine it updates quite quickly (with only little jumps while in my car) and it gets the right position all the time.
I believe the LD-4W should work fine with the 5530 also.
And if you do not have nokia/ovi maps then you should get it. Its free and it has full navigation now.
Ovi Maps
++If you have a 5530 you have to download the 5800 maps application from here;
http://maps.nokia.com/ovi-services-and-apps/ovi-maps/downloads#/nokia-5800-xpressmusic/
Its up to you but I just choose download from pc which is at the bottom as it wont cost you data charges etc for using you mobile.
++Next install the app on your phone
++Now thats it just install ovi suite from here;
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
and choose what maps you want to download and by choosing update you can check your app is up to date.
Most of this info above plays to the 5800 aswell

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..

Please need help!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Under your battery, there's a product code on a sticker (X: 0586707). Go here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update and type in your productcode to see if there should be an update for your productcode. If there's not, you could take your phone to a Nokia Carepoint and ask if they could do it - no promises. Or else you have to wait untill your productcode gets it.

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

Update Nokia 5800 XM with product code 0574888

Practically all russian users of 5800 can't get access to firmware V20.0.012 and even to V11.0.08. Why?

Hi flashxl,It's because of Russian network operators must approve new SW first.
Like always, a lot of bureaucracy slowing down innovation and changes. I hope RUS operators will sign the RFA and we can upgrate our nice phones very soon.
Cheers..
FYI "20.0.012 software release speeds up your phone with faster touch-screen input. In addition, this update brings faster internet data download times and new camcorder features such as second camera support allowing users to take multiple pictures one after another without needing to repress the picture taking button. Also included is "Geo-tagging", enabling you to add location information to your pictures. Other improvements include: improved e-mail experience, Application Updates feature and better in-device search experience"
