Nokia 5800 low tv-out quality.

I found that my 5800 has low quality tv-out, but that is only noticeable with some images, the ones that have smooth gradients appears like if the image have bands, the question is like if the tv-out don't output a 24 bits color mode image but instead it output in 18 or 16 bits color mode.
Someone other also have noticed this?
this is a test image, internal screen or PC no banding but with the tv-out has banding:

Can I buy TV out cable and try connecting it? your reply is appreciated.
Thank you,
Saquib.
I bought my Nokia 5800xm in February, 2010 and it relates exactly to the above post from saquib465. It seems, the functionality can be confirmed only by using..If I get the suitable cord to try it.. can anyone tell whether it will damage the phone if the phone does not support tv-out? If so..what about the Warranty in this case ?

Help!!! Low TV-out quality from K7N2G-ML on board video...

Just bought a K7N2G-ML board.
When I tried to hook it with my tv with a stock S-video cable (12 feet, 15 bucks from Bestbuy), the picture quality is horrible. I dont know how to describe it (it looks like lots of strips floating on the screen).
The same S-video cable, gives very nice picture on my another pc with a add-on Geforce 2MX card, sharp and clean.
Could it be the thin cable between the tv-out bracket and the onboard connector? Will it help if I go to buy a more decent cable (Monster Cable I think)?
Thanks.

Hi,
Could it be the good old hum loop problem? Try disconnecting any antenna or cable TV connections from your TV and see if the problem disappears.
The characteristic impedance of the S_Video cable should be 75 ohms. (The characteristic impedance of a cable is what you would measure at one end of an infinite length of the cable. Now, infinite lengths of cable are hard to find, and expensive, but if you have a cable of x ohms characteristic impedance, terminated with a load of x ohms resistance, then the incoming signal should be transferred completely to the load, without any reflections which show up as ghosting.)
In an ideal world, the characteristic impedances of all the cables and connectors along the signal path should be 75 ohms, but in practice they probably won't be, and it probably doesn't matter for short lengths, and for connectors. While BNC connectors used on professional equipment do come in 50 ohm and 75 ohm versions, I have never seen a characteristic impedance value quoted for RCA connectors, and the 4-pin Mini-DIN S-VHS connector is unlikely to have a meaningful characteristic imedance as it it not a coaxial construction (shielding surrounding the inner conductor throughout the connection).
There is not usually a 75/300 ohm transformer on a video output (low frequency performance is too poor), only on an RF input (to a tuner) or RF output (not usually found on video cards). Video outputs are normally generated by the TV chip and connected via 75 ohm resistors to the output connectors, in my experience.
Cheers

Nokia 5800 Low volume from headphones

Just wondering if anyone else thinks the volume for music playback, even when set at max, with earphones is pretty low? (Not exactly "Big On Sound"!)
Is there any way to change this?

For Bass:
- Select Bass Booster In Equalizer
- Select Loudness (On) in Settings
- Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
Now turn up the volume and enjoy
For Loud Music:
- Select Default In Equalizer
- Select Loudness (On) in Settings
- Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
Now turn up the volume and enjoy...

Dear Nokia Careline,
The "No Return Policy" already be used here. Seem that I have no choice to go for other alternatives. Maybe I have to file the case to our local authority i.e. Tribunal Court Claim to exercise my consumer right here.
Perhaps, further blogs at Nokia discussion column, facebook, twitter might help to let others understand more about so-called Nokia Careline entertain their loyal customer.
If you insist your stand there, then I am always ready to go for my alternatives.
I won't let go unless you could satisfy me.

Dear Mr. X,
We appreciate your prompt reply.
We will be noting for concern as a feedback. However, please be informed Mr. Tan that Nokia has noted in the box regarding the said case.
The outage experienced by our sub-supplier was quite unexpected. Typically, the lead time for components such as this one is fairly long, and one cannot react to sudden changes at short notice. We value our relationship with our suppliers and sub-suppliers, and know that our sub-supplier is doing everything in their power to remedy the situation and return to regular supply.
The lack of TV out should not affect any other device functionalities besides that you will not be able to show/transmit pictures or video to external monitor/screen.
As Nokia does not have a replacement policy, we suggest to check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding exchanges.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Dear NOKIA CARELINE,
Yap, you can tell me leaflet included & a tiny label on the pack box. But who will really check every single area of the pack box & read the whole manual or leaflet when they decided to buy the phone. What normally customer will check is the handphone and the accessories. Now you are telling me that customer have to check everything even they buy something from a reputable company like Nokia. If I going in a shop that sell a China like Nokia 5800 handphone and I bought it then I won't have a say here at all.
I have checked with my retailer they allow me to return the unit but I can't get full refund from them. They are going deduct a couple of hundred cause they said the unit is considered used unit now. According to them instead of asking customer to wait they prefer to refund the customer. So who is going to bear for the cost now.
I certainly frustrated by getting a unit that without TV out function. If you are telling me that once manufactured the feature could not be added in, then I would say if you do have a unit with TV-out feature now you could exchange directly to your customer. Why still ask your loyal customer like me to refer to dealer or retailer. Is that what you mean after sales service or NOKIA CARELINE. You don't even care in the first place.
Your apologies certainly couldn't be accepted with reason of Nokia did include leaflet to inform and tiny sticker at the bottom of the pack box. Sound irresponsible to me at all.
What I wanna your care now, that is pls exchange a unit with TV-out feature with mine in which without such feature. Do I really put the CARELINE into difficulty position. Your reply to me is highly appreciated and also to show that you care or don't care.
Regards,
XX

Dear Mr. X,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
Greetings!
In response to your inquiry, please be informed Mr. Tan that due to a component shortage, a limited number of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has been manufactured without the TV-out functionality. It is possible that you have one of these devices. In that case, the sales package should have a sticker on the package and a leaflet inside the package that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Also, the TV-out cable has been removed from the affected sales packages.
Kindly take note Mr. Tan that it is not possible to add the feature after the device has been manufactured. Therefore we have labeled the affected sales packages with a sticker and included a leflet that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
The new batch of phones should have the feature back. As this matter is clearly stated in the sales package, it is not possible to return to Nokia. However, you may check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding the return of the unit in exchange for a version that has the TV-out feature. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

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
Video Bitrate: 768 kbps
Audio Bitrate: 128 kbps
Video Format: MPEG-4 (be sure not to use H264, as it’s not supported in the current firmware)
Audio Format: MP3
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.
Settings for video playback on Nokia N97, N95, N85 and other Nokia phones.
Nokia N97: Video playback formats are 3GP formats, Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4; the video resolution is 360*640. Audio formats are AAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.
Nokia N96: video playback formats are 3GP, Flash video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo, WMV 9; the video resolution is 240*320. Audio formats are AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.

OK, I will not list all settings of Nokia phones. If you are interested you may get more relative information on Nokia official website.
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.'

Nokia 5800 behaves strange

When i purchased Nokia 5800, i found it really good and i thought, this is my best phone till date. But lately, it really made me bad with tons of bugs showing every other day. Here are the list.
1- Install many applications in your phone and your scrollbar in Application will behave really bad. It does not scroll properly. You can not see the applications in the last row in grid view. You will have to tocuh the screen carefully to make it upwards to see the application icons that are not showing with scrollbars. I will soon paste image here as my cell is in Nokia Care now.
2- Change the font size of your cell to small and then do a grid view. You will not be able to see the name of icons. small font size works fine only with list view.
3. Play a big .flv file and after running smothly for sometime. It starts behaving bad. sound breaks and you are not able to listen sound properly.
4. Open a .flv file and while it's opening. Tocuh it to make full screen and you will see d-pad that you see when you play flash games. Do we need it while watching .flv. I need to wait for it to open and then only i can touch to screen to make it full screen. That shows it's poor performance.
5. Press quick media bar shortcut in home screen and you will see your clock hides first than other elements on the screen. It's shows the UI repaint is so slow that you can see the difference in elements being hide.
6. I don remember, if i ever played with my cell too much, but yet within 4 months of it's usage. My LCD is gone. When someone call or when i on the screen. It shows paraller lines with background colors of home screen icons. It functions when you touch the screen, but you are not able to see anything on the screen. It happens so frequent and your money what you put on your cell goes in vain.
Problems
1. I had a theme and a wallpaper in my cell other than default theme when i was doing a mass storage. As soon as i plugged the USB and it selected mass storage. My cell automatically changed its theme and wallpaper to default one that comes when you purcahse cell. It become slow and the last dialled green button stopped working in home screen. It woks in other screens but not on home screen. It means i am not able to dial the last dialled number.
2. One of my image showing more than 40 times in Gallery with the same name. What i did is deleted the one and it's no more in file system, but it's still there as icon in Gallery and when i try to delete all those duplicate icons. It says can't delete. General error. I have more than 40 dead icons and i am not able to do anything.
3. Sometimes my clock on home screen just dont displayes. Click on the clock's place and come back to home screen and it will show you the clock. but again move to any other screen and come back to home screen and again clock is not there. Everytime, i need to see the clock, i have to touch the clock's place and then back to home screen to see the clock and that too, till the time , i am in home screen.
4. Play some videos and your cell will become too hot to touch it. Feels like it will burn out.
5. My very old Nokia 2650 has better sound. when someone calls me and i am not in a quiet place. I have to open speaker to listen the voice properly. I feel it's low compare to my oldest cell.
6. Recently listened the songs on Nokia E63 with same headphone i use and the sound quality is much much better than my 5800.
Features Missing
1. Flv player does not give seekbar functionality. If i have a big video file say for 10 minutes and i want to see portion of it. I am not able to see. Either from start or from the place where it stopped. Why no seekbar like other players when play mp4.
Other than these, I have a long list of small small problems i face, since my cell is in Nokia care, i am not able to write them here.
If anyone else has the same problems, then please share here.

sunilgupta20801 : "1. I had a theme and a wallpaper in my cell other than default theme when i was doing a mass storage. As soon as i plugged the USB and it selected mass storage. My cell automatically changed its theme and wallpaper to default one that comes when you purcahse cell. It become slow and the last dialled green button stopped working in home screen. It woks in other screens but not on home screen. It means i am not able to dial the last dialled number."
This most be because you have the theme installed on the card which is what the mass storage uses. Reinstall it to your main memory.

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!!

Is there anymore updates for Nokia 5800 XM??

Hi, I would like to know if there is anymore firmware updates for Nokia 5800 XM after V52.0.007?
Can anyone provide me with the news?
I am a huge fan of Nokia and their Symbian platform.. But I am getting more and more disappointed with them.
I cannot use another OS. Cannot use new softwares. Very slow and low hardware and performances..
I was hoping to get a Symbian ^ 3 update for my 5800 but that is not possible... So I have decided to see the last firmware update for 5800 and see if its any good. Otherwise I'll simply throw it away and start using HD2.

There are rumors about a v60 coming out, but I quite doubt it... and even if it comes it will most likely be a failure...
Nokia has done so much stuff wrong latelly (even Symbian^3 devices are filled with bugs and issues) and doesn't commit into fix them before launching something new based on the old ones.
This angers the users and most likely drivens them away... Nokia was once one of the biggest (if not the biggest) name in smartphone industry... now ... iPhone, Android based and even the dieing Blackberry are way ahead of them ... only 'dumbphones' on Nokia worth some consideration...
If you think 5800 has issues then don't look at it's more expensive brother ... the N97... so much for a top of the line phone...
Nokia has the firmware so fragmented that makes Android look like an homogeneous mass of software...
Because how some companies work, I start a personal blacklist of devices/brands that will never buy.... Apple and Sony are on the top of that list, Nokia will soon join them :[
Well... true to be said, I have 2 old 'dumbphones' - one of them has a 3.2MP camera with OPTICAL zoom, while it has 6~7 years more than 5800 it beats it in screen quality, camera quality and build quality, it also cost half the value of it - that I would most likely return to once 5800 dies... because it will die...
5800xm on a blender ... will happen sooner than expected.... v51 is a failure as an update .... v52 just postponed its fate....

Nokia 5800 Questions.

I posted this in the nokia 5800 problems topic but it actually wasn't a problem and also it got ignored. So I decided to post it in a new topic.
I just bought this phone 4 days ago and I am in total love with it Now the pros of this phone are too much to list but there are a few cons which slight bugged me.I have version11.0.008 from the begining and have not faced a single problem - no lag , no peculiar behaviour Now I have a few queries that I was hoping to get answered on.
1. Is it possible to add more stuff below the Search word in the Shortcut bar theme. Maybe a Calendar memo reminder or anything. I already know of the music now playing bar that comes there during tracks but other than that are there nothing else to be done?
2. Is there any way to use the 2nd camera?
3. In the silent mode , for some odd reason I might have missed a call ( i.e did not feel the vibration ) Now is there a option to turn on so that the phone will emit little vibrations after a period of time to remind me or notify me of a miss call? I have this on my razrv3i so missing it now The menu button just flickrs on off to notify of the missed call but is there no way to know I have a miss call without taking out the phone from the case and looking at it?
4. I heard theres a new update to v11.0.009 - But my NSU doesn't show it . I was wondering is it that necessary to update to this firmwire at this moment? I live in Bangladesh.
Thats about it The 5800 is a exta ordinary phone and I have not regretted my purchase yet and have no hope of doing so. It costed me around 272.74 Euros. The price to quality ratio is mind bogling

1. The Calender memo will show by itself if you have any entry made in the Calender.. It will come up as "Next Entry on ..." a few days in advance and the Actual details a day before...
2. Open Camera application.. Goto Options -- > Use secondary camera..
3. There are 3rd party applications like T-Reminder for this.. It has options of Sound/Light/Vibration reminders for missed calls / SMSs / other events at user defined interval...
4. Firmware versions are different for different regions.. Connect the phone thru' OVI Suit to a computer and check for the latest available for your phone.It says that version upgrade is for good but there are newer complains associated with them. So its up to you whether to take that risk or not.. If you are satisfied with the current version so be it..

Open .rar file in nokia 5800 ??????????????

Hi there, I have one problem with my nokia 5800. When i am trying to install .rar file in my mobile, it says the phone is not compatible with this file. So that why i am not able to install any theme in my mobile. So someone pls help me.

petrib, you obviously haven't downloaded many themes in recent years.
Most popular and quality thememakers (even one of the most well known, pizero) out there now distribute themes in ZIPs or RARs because quite often there is more than one version of the theme (changed icons and default icons). The zip/rar keeps the versions together when other sites link to the themes.
Personally I open the zip/rar on a PC then send the required sis/sisx files to the phone using bluetooth.
There is one application that allows you to open rar files on the phone but it requires signing and I am not sure if it can be open signed or not.

Nokia 5800 x UK Vs UAE Middle east version

I wanna prchase nokia 5800 xpress mainly to use trun by turn navigation in UK. Right now i am in Dubai when i compare the prices in UK Vs Dubai. Dubai is much cheaper. I wanna buy 5o from Dubai. My queries:
whether it will support in UK for nokia applications

UK turn By Turn Navigation
If it will work same like unlocked version available from nokia UK or eurpoe
Basically what is the differance in 5800X UAE or miidle east version and Europe version.
I am not gonna return middle east later and will entirely use the phone in UK.
Pls help

You're asking in the wrong place.
Look at the Nokia website for the Middle-East (http://mea.nokia.com). You should find the price of a 5800 there.
Please note that the warranty on a 5800 bought in the UAE is not valid in Pakistan.
Also please note that Nokia phones from any official Nokia factory in the world are made according to the same standards and will be of identical build quality regardless of the factory of origin. The things you have to look out for are FAKE Nokia phones, ie. phones which are not Nokia devices at all but cheap knock-offs manufactured usually by Chinese companies.
