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 5800XM FW v40.0.005 bugs report

    Hello, At first I would like to thank all those working on the development of Nokia phones.
    Then I would also offer a group of problems which discovered in the latest  firmware for Nokia 5800 (v40.0.005).
    Problems (bugs):
    - Some application icons are multiplied.
    - Some application icons are hided (Icon transparent).
    - Sometimes (when the sensors enabled) I restart the phone and find that the sensors do not work (Its still enabled in settings menu), and to solve the problem, I disable it then restart the device and then re-enable them. 
    - The device becomes slower with the passage of time
    - Software updater always failed to install python and scribble, even installing using Nokia Ovi Suite failed.
    - There a screen bug (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZsCCaqFxI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6818wmKbgY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3IzYvNYOs)
    Adds:
    - Add a way to open (Now playing screen) from media bar at home screen (because the way to open it  is long , you should open menu then go to Music then now playing, or from shortcut bar.
    - Gallery recognize all multimedia files (images-swf-video) even if it was not located in Image folder or Video folder, this good and bad, so add an option to only searching for multimedia file in the default media folder will be great, because some applications based on swf files or some image files (For example: PowerMp3, Flashlight) make the gallery unorganized.
    Thanks for your time.

    Usually I do this solution every 4-5 months to solve some problems, but i think this is a foible in Nokia systems!
    Whatever, this don't work well for this issue:
    "Sometimes (when the sensors enabled) I restart the phone and find that the sensors do not work (Its still enabled in settings menu), and to solve the problem, I disable it then restart the device and then re-enable them. "
    Because it was happened from the previous firmware.
    Also the biggest problem which I faced is :
    - There a screen bug (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZsCCaqFxI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6818wmKbgY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3IzYvNYOs)
    I can't find a solution for it , also i noticed that if the phone located in a cold room (AC on 20 degree or lower) the problem will happen, and the lock button can't fix the it immediately.
    (I should wait for 5 min. or restart the phone to fix this)
    Also this still a problem for me:
    - Software updater always failed to install python and scribble, even installing using Nokia Ovi Suite failed.
    So the summary is:
    Screen bug
    Software updater bug
    * sensors not a big deal for me at this time.

  • No more fast GPS fix with 5800 XM v40.0.005 using ...

    Hi to all,
    I'm so diappointed to have losen one of the best strength of my nokia 5800 XM (fast GPS fix thanks to A-GPS function).
    Indeed, it's now inconceivable to hope a GPS fix before 5 or 10 minutes while staying at the same place. Thus, we lose all the interest of the GPS driving through a city !!!!
    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    Unfortunately the new Ovi Maps version didn't either solve the problem...
    Could you give your feedbacks on the problem or explain me how the problem might be resolved ?
    Thanks to all

    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    As you already had the problem best guess
    would be a hardware problem  rather than  firmware .
    Take phone to a Nokia Care Centre   or you could try wiping the phone and memory card and starting from a clean install .

  • Nokia 5800 won't update to firmware v40.0.005

    Hello,
    I have tried to update my 5800 using nokia software updater several times( I am currently on v21.0.025), but no luck. The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect. I know of people who have updated their phones to v40.0.005 without incident.
                                         I purchased the phone in late December '09 and have been trying to update it since the middle of January 2010. I am at a total loss as to why the noka software updater won't detect the newly available software. Nokia them selves said that the update is available in my country(Ireland).I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software update.
    Thank you for your help

  • 5800 xm v40.0.005 WLAN bug

    Hi,
    Ever since I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 on 5800 XM, my phone automatically connects to the WiFi working in my home. Even after I have turned off all the settings to autodetect WiFi network.. It automatically connects to WiFi network as soon as I disconnect it manually. Earlier(v30 firmware), it used to connect only when I was using some application with WLan usage..
    Its annoying and also draining battery.. I can't switch WiFi router as other devices(laptops, PC) are using it..
    P.S. I installed Image Exchange software in new firmware?
    Kudos, If I Helped !!!
    Solved!

    Your last statement may have provided the answer. Is Image Exchange set to look for a data connection? I have this problem initially with Nimbuzz and a couple of other apps.

  • Nokia 5800 update 50.0.005 Find song is missing?

    I've updated my phone to the latest firmware version,but now it seems that option to find a song is missing (you know if you open all songs and if you have about 1000 you want to search for the song that you want,but the *find*option is missing in the options menu) ??? Is it only me?or it supposed to be like that?
    nokia 8210->3310->3330->8890->6800->3220->6680->n72->E-90->5310XM->5610Xm->n82->n95 8gb->5800XM 8gb->2630

    After upgrage to V50.0.005, i am not able to See music files those are available in V40.0.005. Though those are avialble in the music drive of the mobile but not able to retrive 2GB music files. I think the NOKIA testers and developers should do proper testing before release the product. Testers are either poor enough to raise internal bugs or not competant enough to work in the industry. how many times you people are doing sanity, performance, system testing for this firmware?i guess you you people are in a hurry. BUT why higher managements are not taking proper care of such kind of high issues raised by users?
    This is really a poor stuffs as far as a SIX sigma company is concern.Send the latest update to solve all kind of issue at once. This is Too much ....

    I have upgraded my nokia 5800, After upgrading the firmware i am facing three big problem. They are:-

     3. Wifi- Droping frequently connection .
    Pl advice
    Thanks in advance.
    1. Same is the case. However, this is not a problem and digitally locked files are supposed to work this way. The solution would be to visit the nearest Nokia care center and have this unlocked, or wait hoping that Nokia would release OTA unlocking similar to N95
    2. Same case. I will try keeping it on download on WiFi for a few hours and see if there is any response.
    3. I haven't noticed any.
    2. I kept the phone for download on WiFi for a few hours and there was no positive progress. Guess we will have to wait for Nokia to give a solution.
    3. I would have used WiFi to browse for at least 3-4 hrs, and the connection was never dropped.
    Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smooth...

  • Nokia 5800 Firmware update V20

    Hi all ,
    can anyone advise if this works with the phone as i keep hearing about system failure notice with the new version ?
    who has installed it on there phone and does it make any difference ??
    Message Edited by 5800uk on 19-Feb-2009 05:47 PM

    yes v20 was buggy thats why Nokia have removed it off there NSU. It shouldnt be long til the next update comes out on NSU. Nokia 5800 is a very demanding phone and Nokia will make new firmware qucikly so users who have v20 firmware can update to later version which will solve handset issues and those 5800 that people purhcase of the net some come with v20.

  • Nokia 5800 firmware v21....problem trying to updat...

    Hi there...i have Nokia 5800,Hong Kong blue, product code 0575408...when i check on the Nokia website,it tells me that the firmware available for this model is v21.0.025...however....when i connect to the NSU...it tells me that the current firmware for my phone is the current one,v 11.0.0.09, and there is no need to update....anybody had this problem?or is there anybody that knows the cause of this?any help would be greatly appreciated.
    cheers

    Nokia care in the UK often reply quick but you nearly always get a scripted non-answer from them
    @ mccbleue - That is true because things such as web links and extra programs can be added to firmware but other manufacturers do that too.
    What should happen is that the release is delayed until it's ready for all.  Nokia's regional offices would have to act quicker at regionalising the firmware.  In the past on other models UK variants have ranged from same day release to the EURO1 variant to 8 weeks later, which just doesn't make sense.
    This is probably the only way to put an end to the masses of posts from people in various countries asking when updates will be available in X country.  This is not taking into account branded phones which is a problem in itself.
    Other manufacturers can manage near simultaneous worldwide release for firmware, why can't nokia?

    Nokia doesnt provide update by FOTA for v.20 in middle east at the moment. But you can update it via Nokia Software Updater by logging on to www.nokia.com/softwareupdate

  • Cannot Update Nokia 5800 Firmware

    I own a nokia 5800 on t-mobile UK. I'm on a mac so cannot use the device update software. I entered *#0000# and tried to update it. However I got asked to create a new server profile. I read some 'default' nokia server settings on another forum and entered them but received a message saying server not responding. I've tried some other server settings I found but none of it works. I really would like to update it! Help me please!

    You could take it to a Nokia Care Center and they'll update it for you. Problem free for you. =p

  • When will nokia 5800 xm v40 be available in the Ph...

    Its REALLY frustrating that its still not available in the Philippines while other countries have v50 already..

    Nokia did not announce anything about availability. Philippine phones are country variant units, and Philippine availability for firmware is usually 3-4 months late, not to mention that certain country variant models skip entire firmware updates (A turkish variant did not receive v40 but skipped right to v50).
