Nokia 5800 GPS Problem

Hello,
i have an Nokia 5800, and i can´t use the gps with a satellite signal, only with the GPRS.
someone can helpme.
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi i was facing similar problem here in bangalore(India)
All you Need to Do is to stay in some open area(Outside your house or anywhere)
1.Open Maps
2.click on My location
and Keep the device searching for satellites (there are 6 of them) .
it would take at max 45 minutes
3.Be patient for 45minutes
4.Dont forget to load MAps for your country
5.Nokia GPS works without any need of Wifi or Telecom operator for
Nokia Maps
6.If you have google maps installed ,
GPS will work too ,but it will ask for WIfi connection or network operator to download maps
7.Nokia location application is awesome
you can see you speed,navigate and do lots of things
but google Maps is no less
[just it needs some connection to download maps from internet ]

Nokia 5800 GPS Edition

Dear Nokia Users,
Is it possible to turn off the vibration for the Nokia 5800 GPS Edition/5800 when touching the keys on the phone? Grateful if someone could advise.
Thanks,

Nokia 5800 menu problem

I have a problem with my nokia 5800. A red menu bar keeps flashing up intermittently rendering all other functions useless. i have tried cleaning the screen but it still keeps doing it. any suggestions before i throw it out the window as its driving me mad!

Any magnets or cases involved?
If not then you need to get the phone looked at by a nokia care point.

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 Expressmusic - problem

I have recently had my Nokia 5800 replaced by my contract provider, Orange. this slightly newer , or updated version of my original handset had a few differences, which I have managed to overcome. I find, however, that when I have an incoming call from someone on my contacts list, their name does not come up, only their number, and I do not know who is calling me. When I make a call, using my contacts list, I have no problem.
Can anyone help, please?

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...

The third problem there is a workaround: create a mini webpage with the following content::
(replace 'myflashimage.swf' by the name of your swf).

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 problems when unlocking

When I unlock my phone, I get horizontal and/or vertical lines - I can't use the phone during this time, because the display is so badly affected!
After about 5-10 seconds, the home screen will show perfectly normal. When I either lock the phone, or lock it manually, then unlock it a few minutes later the lines come back again!
Is this a hardware or software fault? If it is a software fault, how can I resolve this annoying problem?
5800 v20.0.012 -- 6500s v9.40 -- 6233 v5.43 -- 5140 v3.13

I have exactly the same fault on my 5800 to the point where the phone is completely unusable.
Used the "Contact Us" facility 5 days ago - still waiting for a reply/acknowledgment.
I bought the phone in mid February so it was quite an early release model, V11 frimware, but the screen fault was there early on but only very occassionally. Had the phone updated to V20 but the problem was still there. However it got progressively worse until the phone became unusable. The screen can only be restored by powering off and on again but once the screen has gone into saver mode it cannot be restored via the unlock button, or any other means other than a power down.
Sent the phone to the Nokia "Anovo" repair centre only to have it returned 10days later with exactly the same fault as I sent it in with. The return advice note stated that details of the repair would be found on the enclosed letter - there was no enclosed letter. The return form states that all phones sent in would be automatically updated to the latest firmware - mine wasn't, even though Nokia notified me 2 weeks previously to inform me that there was an update for my phone.
Rang Nokia Care last week, (Thursday) to be told that someone would contact me by phone, (borrowed phone obviously, as I had stated my 5800 was unusable). Friday and I had not been contacted. Rang again Friday morning 10.30am only to be told someone would contact me. Left a contact phone number again. Friday afternoon - still no contact so rang again. This time I was informed that someone should have told me that I wouldn't be contacted until Monday as thet were all "Very Busy" - I wonder why. Today, Monday afternoon stil no one has been in contact so I suppose I am going to have to go through the whole routine again.
I am very close to the point where I am going to give up and demand a refund for an item that is clearly "Not of Merchantable Quality" or "Fit for Purpose" which would be a shame as when it worked I was really pleased with it. I bought the phone outright so I have no contract redress so am completely in the hands of Nokia. I know that Nokia is a very large company and I am but a single customer but from all the forums I have lookes at since this saga started I am driven to believe that the 5800 is causing Nokia some serious problems.
If I do finally get some acknowledge from Nokia I will inform this forum.

Nokia 5800 microphone problem

i have nokia 5800 with latest firm ware v40,
when i do call to somebody, i can hear the sound, but on the another side, cant hear me speak, he/she said my voice so slowly. i think in the first time is network problem, but change mobile phone, its okay.... so i think the problem is my nokia 5800, when i test with recorder application, i found that its very slowly, i try with the same voice and same volume with another phone, its good, so i think i have problem with my nokia 5800, especially with microphone. can somebody help me what to do? should replace firmware ? or this is hardware damage?

I told him to get it checked for a hardware fault. W T F is your problem?
i surely do not like nokia and never again i will buy or advice some one to buy a nokia, you got my point? And it **bleep** me off that many people buy this phone and they can't enjoy their investment without headache without pain, and without having to spend some extra money to get this sht working well like decent mobile phone. AND YOU you instead of focusing on the base of all this troubles, you can just spend time over here pretending that you are the **bleep** of steve job, trying to send people spend some extra money to buy some fkin leather jacket or to so call nokia care. You doing that now and for how long will you keep on sending people to where ever you want? Tell nokia what we want from them and if you can't tell them then you are surely useless and you advices doesn't prevent new people who are buy nokia phone to face the same issues like the ones you helping people to solve, and at the end you might finish old white hair on your head keep on writing to people (GO TO NOKIA CARE CENTER TO CHECK FOR YOUR HARD WARE, OR HARD RESET YOUR DEVICE). I know and i believe that you are clever than that to be running inside this kinda circle every single day.
You got my drift? Now and everywhere i will find your post telling to people to go to anywhere to check for hardware i will ON MAY warn you until you and some others which are also in just like you for kudos to be in for a better nokia phones with a better hardware that seriously give less and less troubles, a better software that seriously give no troubles and not to be in for what ever you want.
THAT'S IT I HAVE AN EYE ON YOU, AND SO DO LIKE WE WANT NOT LIKE you WANT.

Nokia 5800 calling problem

im new to this so sorry if this is in the wrong place and otherthings, anyway, i have a nokia 5800, which has been pretty much plain sailing apart from recently the speaker hasnt been working for calls. when i make calls i have to put it on loudspeaker, which as you can imagine is arkward to have everyone listening to your conversation. Sometimes it works, but more often than not i have to use loudspeaker. I have insurance but i was just wondering if there is any easier way to fix this?

Unfortunately I have to mention that also my 5800 is having this problem. Furthermore a collegue is experiencing the same.
So, it looks that there is a kind of weakness in the system. I sent the mobile phone back and they returned it just with a "software update". Obviously, after my first phone call, I found again that the speaker volume goes down during the conversation and I cannot hear anything...
Now, since this is the second problem after the break of the vibration, I'm disappointed...

Nokia 5800 sync problem (especially music causes m...

Hello
All seemed well until a weak ago. I used the ovi suite for syncing my contacts, messages, photo's and music.
Now, it all went wrong:
   photos; works (after re-install, was empty before)
   messages; works (after re-install, new messages were not read)
   contacts; not in sync
   Music; this is the major problem.
When I installed ovi suite 2 months ago, all was well; I configured a map to sync; it worked.
Now I added some music to that monitored map, Ovi Music then crashed every heartbeat. Ovi suite said "ovi unable to copy tracks". But in the ovi suite I still play the songs.
I finally removed all nokia products from my pc (vista 32bit).
Then re-installed ovi suite, which I downloaded from the ovi website; and reinstalled ovi music.
Ovi music; does not read my phone none of the connection modes.
Ovi suite cannot copy any music to my phone, and cannot sync contacts anymore.
I still get the message "unable to read the tracks" or "unable to copy the tracks".
Ovi suite can still play the songs in the list from the pc.
If it weren't for ovi maps navigation, i'd seriously consider installing a non symbian system all together on my phone, my friends with a iphone never seem to have these problems.
I am now sitting here with a musicexpress on which i can't put any music. This sucks balls.
ovi suite version: 2.1.1.1
nokia 5800phone firmware: 40.0.005
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you recall what might have happened when system started malfunctioning?
- I've added some music from my music library to the map that is monitored by the ovi suite to check for new music. I don't know if that 's the cause of the problem, but that is were I first noticed it. A day before I successfully downloaded a map for my navigator; that worked fine.
- When I added that music; ovi music started crashing every second. I removed all music; deleted all 'Mdatastore.db3' files; another thread suggested this; but it kept crashing.
- The first time ovi music player crashed, was because I clicked on a song that I've deleted from my control map. An exclamation point appeared; and the program crashed.
(with the new install ovi music player still shows the songs I've deleted on with the previous install)
- I now have a fresh install of ovi music; it does not crash anymore; but it does not read my nokia 5800 either; still shows songs I've deleted couple days ago; now deleted them manually.
Did you install something (device or PC)?
No new apps on my device. I downloaded an extra map for my navigator though (Germany).
Did you uninstall something (device or PC)?
No uninstalls either.
Did you reconfigure, change, delete, copied over, upgrade etc. Anything on the device or PC?
After I had the problem I upgraded ovi suite; did not work. I then removed all nokia software and did a fresh install of ovi suite and ovi music. But the problems remained the same.
Can you please provide any error messages (from sync) that might appear or any other related information related to failures? (thanks for the "Unable..." info).
Only the 2 error messages in ovi suite I already gave; nothing more.
Ovi music; no error messages; but it makes no difference whether my phone is connected or not; it just shows a picture of a wire with the standard message 'connecting your device. 1. .... 2. ..... '
What version of Ovi Player (Music) you have?
After the new installation of ovi music.
Nokia ovi player: 2.1.10304.00
(517 unprotected tracks)

Problem with Flash Lite in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic-Problema con Flash Lite en Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

I've got a problem playing videos in YouTube with my 5800. Recently I updated my version of Flash Lite to 3.1, from that day I can't see correctly videos on YouTube, when the the indicator of the bar reaches 1/4 of the totallity of the bar, the sound and image stop, but the indicator continues playing. If i want to see completly a video I have to put the indicator in the start of the bar and wait the load again. Some idea to fix this problem?
Sorry for my English level.
Tengo un problema reproduciendo vídeos en YouTube con mi 5800. Hace poco actualicé la versión del Flash Lite a la 3.1 y desde entonces no puedo ver correctamente vídeos de YouTube, cuando el indicador de la barra alcanza 1/4 de la distancia total, se detienen el sonido y la imagen, pero el indicador continúa como si siguiera reproduciendo, es decir para el vídeo es como si siguiera reproduciendo pero ni el sonido ni la imagen continúan., para ver los vídeos tengo que llevar el cursor de carga al principio y esperar la carga de nuevo, es un problema realmente molesto. ¿Alguna idea para solucionarlo?

Hi,
I have Nokia 5800XM as well. The YouTube videos are playng fine for me. my FW is 40.0.005 with FL3.1
Maybe you need to update your device's firmware and FL version.\
Start Device Manager application on your 5800XM from menu or dialing *#0000#. It will check for new updates and ask you to download them. Remember that these updates are in MBs. I'd recommend update using a WiFi connection or flat-rate data plan.
Best,

Nokia 5230 Gps problem

Hello guys, I've brought my Nokia 5230 recently and I've soon discovered a problem with the gps function. The problem is every time I tried to see where I'm or the gps function it takes ages and it still can't detect any gps signal, I've been to many places, home, library, in my car moving through town and really it don't pick up any signals. Does it matter if I don't use internet at all? And are there settings that I have to follow? Thanks in advance.

Hi rexlee123
Sounds as if you are not utilizing the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network access point. Whereas you can set OVI Maps to "Offline" if regional maps downloaded, if you just rely on Integrated GPS reception will be quite poor. You need to check in Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning server > Access point and also in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations - that WAP access point has not ended up in "Uncategorized" folder where not utilized.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Nokia 5800 Sound problems in music player

Having a weird problem with the music player. When you choose a song to play, there is no sound unless you press either volume button, then the sound works normally. I have tried this in all different profiles, with and without headphones and nothing seems to work. Any ideas how I can get the sound back in the music player?

I don't know the exact solution to the problem but you may try to do a reset option. Sometimes with my N82 the sound just stops but the music is going. So i pause and play it again.
Try this reset but-
Before perfoming this please take a backup of your data.
Factory defaults-
Type *#7780# on your standby screen.
This will reset all your setting to default factory settings. User data wont be affected.
Soft reset-
Type *#7370#
This will reset the phone as well delete user data. Use when want to format the phone.
If none of these worked then you might want to do a hard reset.
For this you have to-
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.( Just in case of N78 it will be the multimedia key the small silver key on right side & for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. For Nokia N97 is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE. )
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?
