Nokia 5800 Problems(battery + Reliacne GSM)

I have bought New Nokia 5800 XpressMusic on 15th November 2009(1month ago)
***But I think I am getting less battery life as compared to company assurance.
company says that battery lasts after
Talktime: 8.8Hours OR
Standby: 406Hours OR
Video Calling: 3Hours OR
Music Playback: 35 Hours OR
Video Playback: 5Hours(Mpeg4) OR 3Hours(nHD)
But my usage are as follows(PER DAY, 24hours)(2G):
at least 100 to max 170 Text messages,
at most 1:15 Hours music playback,
5 to 6 image capture,
At most 1 call (hardly one!)
No GPS
And network mode is selected as GSM because it causes battery last longer.
then also if i charge battery COMPLETELY ( until it says charging complete/battery full) at 6AM, then at 6AM on the next day only 2 or sometimes 3 bars are shown on battery indicator (on default theme)
IS THIS OKAY?
*** My second problem.
I have downloaded Guitar, Drum and othe music apps and SPB Brain Evolution from Nokia.
And I am using Reliance GSM sim card(in INDIA ONLY).
but when i open them Error comes out:This Application cannot be started on device other then Nokia 5800/India.
And application closes.(brain evolution)
and ,usic applications give error as this app can only be run on india telco simcard or something like that.
What should i do?
Please Help.

The stated times for battery life by the company is at max efficiency modes, and can never be reached in real life. For example, to reach around 30hours of music playback, you need to set it to the lowest volume, lowest screen display brightness, offline mode, display off at 5 secs, etc...Meaning that you're basically turning everything off except for music player. Oh yeah, to make sure the battery is full, countdown only starts once its already playing and you unplug it from the charger. Basically you wont do that in real life. The 5800's actual real life battery performance is about one and a half days of moderate usage.
The phone lasts for me from about 6am to 12nn the next day (turns off), with about 100texts per day, 3 or 5 calls, random music playback (hardly an hour a day), 2 hours of internet. I have my 3G on at times, but I have reduced haptic feedback to lowest levels (this eats a lot of battery), touch tones are disabled, display brightness at about 3/4.

Nokia 5800 XM battery problem

hi to all users,
i am using nokia 5800 xm.i have an problem with this model regarding battery.when i connect to charger to mobile it show charging but after some time when i unplug the charger from mobile it will show low battery and after restarting the device it will indicate full battery bars
can any one help me.....

Take back-up of your data.. and Go for Firmware Update / Re-install..If that does not help..do a Soft Reset by dialing *#7370# followed by 12345 (Default code) when prompted. If you have set your own code..use that instead. Be warned that Soft Reset will erase all data from the Phone memory and Restore will be necessary.. You will also have to re-install some of the applications..

My nokia 5800 problem.. pls help me thx

Hi there.. i have just bought my nokia 5800 last month.. and now im experiencing a minor problem.. the problem with my phone is whenever im surfing the web with my phone using the original nokia web browser.. and when a new sms comes in a message icon will appear next to my time display which is the top left corner of the phone... and when i click on that icon to display my message the message just wouldnt pop out.. and i would have to old down my menu button juz to switch to the opened messaging application to view that message... please help me with my problem.. thanks~

that happens with mine as well, but i think its because there is an active internet connection. You just can't simply shut that out since you might lose valuable data, so I think its better that way, prioritizing internet over the message which we could simply access anyway.

Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic Battery Now lasts only arou...

Hi,
My 5800 used to retain battery power for 3-4 days of normal usage until my upgrade to the latest firmware. Firstly the FOTA failed. After restart it popped a "System Error" after"installing..." The Music Player also screwed and used to continously show "Fixing Corrupted Library files..(something like that)". Then i used OVI suite to transfer music and it temporarily fixed the issue.
But then i used the USB connection with Nokia Software Updater and reinstalled the firmware. all the problems were fixed. But i observed that the Battery life has now reduced to just about 18 hours!! I am not sure if its indeed the firmware but most likely so. I also did a soft reset without realising that i would lose all the smses and contact data Anway, main issue is batterypower consumption. The Nokia Energy Profiler shows a current consumption of about 170mA. It was same even before the soft reset.
Can anyone help?

First I would do as chanchan05 suggests. Some application is using power and draining the battery.
Then I would do the usual ''power saving'' settings: packet data=when needed, 3G to GSM (if 3G not needed) ...etc.
Then I would do the battery calibration:
1.Switch off the phone
2.Fully charge it
3.Unpug the charger
4.Remove the battery from the phone
5.Wait 10 minutes
6.Insert the battery back in the phone (don't switch the phone on)
7.Plug in the charger and charge again till the battery meter shows full
Switch on the phone and start Nokia Energy Profiler; turn off the screen nad wait 10 minutes. Then check mA graph (cut out the spikes from the start and from the and of the measurement when the screen was on). If the measurement shows more then ~15mA there is something wrong. My Nokia 5230 measures 6 or 7mA in standby.

Comes With Music / Nokia 5800 problems downloading...

I've just got a new 5800 with Comes With Music and I'm having lots of problems! Hopefully you can help?!
Problem 1 - the main problem! Downloads don't add to phone's music library
The main problem is with downloading songs directly using my phone. Songs I download (using the mobile, not the PC) don't get added to my music library, and refreshing the music library dowsn't help. If I go to the music store, select 'options' and 'downloads' I can see a list of all the songs I've downloaded. If I select 'open' I can play the songs (one at a time), but they don't get added to the music library. If I press 'delete', I'm told 'File not found'. When I connect to my PC, I can't see these songs using the Nokia Music software, so can't transfer them to the PC. All very strange. Any ideas for how I can get these songs to add to the library?
Problem 2 - Nokia Music software
This is just irritating rather than anything else. When I plug my phone to my PC and use Nokia Music, the little phone icon has the caption 'Nokia N95'. But the phone I've connected is a 5800! My old phone was an N95...
At first this meant I couldn't sign up to CWM using my pin, because I was told it isn't compatible with this phone. So I had to sign up using the phone rather than the PC, and then use the log-in details on the PC to access music. This has worked and means I can download songs to my PC and transfer them to my phone, but it was a pain to get there.
Problem 3: Nokia Music website doesn't work
To add insult to injury, when I look for some help on the nokiamusic.co.uk website I'm told I need a new flash player. So I download the new flash playe, and I'm still told I need a new flash player. Brilliant. Incidentally, at the bottom of the page it says"Click here if you're quite sure to have Flash Player installed" which is gramatically a lot of nonsense.
I've always got on well with Nokia, but frankly I've had a nightmare week trying to get this new phone up and running and I'm very disappointed with them. The help-line isn't much use either. Anyway, any help on the above would be really greatfully received.
Ryan

Hi!
For your first problem, are you accessing Nokia Music Store on your mobile through the webbrowser or via the application in Music Menu? If you are using the web browser, try using the application.
If you are using the application already, have you tried with different access points? (i.e. WLAN, different operator interet access points) Also make sure that you have a memorycard in your phone which is compatible with the device, might be worth trying to re-format it and then try again?
For your third problem, have you tried to access nokia music store through Nokia Music program on your PC? (Click on Store tab). And which browser are you currenlty using to access it?
Cheers,

Nokia 5800 problem with drivers windows 7 32-bit

Hi, i have problem with drivers for 5800 in windows 7, all drivers except modem and cdc comms work, how can i update drivers for that, i have installed lates nokia suite 3.3 and newest cable drivers, i try drivers 6.x but then my 5800 is not recognized, what is the solution?

Hi:
You can use the W7 x64 drivers from the 250 G2 support page. They have the 32 bit driver files too.
That would be for all but the graphics if your G2 has a Pentium or Celeron processor.
If your notebook has one of those processors, then download, unzip and run the graphics driver setup exe file from the link below.

Nokia 5800 - poor battery

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing poor battery life? I only got the phone last week and it doesn't even last 24 hours without the battery running out. I am not on the phone for long, I send a few messages and maybe look through the pics, but it just doesn't last long at all!!!!!!!!

My personal experience has been pretty positive. It lasted longer than I thought it would since I was used to charging my phone (after it reaches low battery) every 2.5 days.
My phone lasts me about 3-4 days on GSM mode with what I consider minimal use:
In terms of activity:
- occasional WLAN (about 30 minutes total) usage
- occasional GPRS web surfing (about 30 minutes total) usage
- 5-10 SMS-es a day
- Brief phone calls less than 5 minutes (total about 5 calls)
- I launch maps about 3-5 times a day with GPS and A-GPS on, using about less than 5-10 minutes each time.
Brightness is also a notch above the mid-point.
It's been that way since the first charge.
Usually after 2 days, I'll charge my phone eventhough it's half of the bars. I get really nervous when the bars get low.
Once, when my house lost power at night, I sat in the garden listening to music for about 3 hours. I had roughly about half of the bars (or slightly more) when I first started playing my tracks.
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

Nokia 5800 problem(The file simply cannot be remov...

Some time ago, i tried to download a movie via my torrent client(symtorrent) on my nokia but i have changed my mind and aborted the operation. It said that the movie is 1.4 gb, so i found the folder and delete it. But the memory on my card remained the same. I took off my memory card, put it in my friends phone still it didnot worked there was no file but the space was occupated. I instaled 3part applications like Y-Browser to search for some hidden files. Nothing. I connected the phone in media transfer mode, so i can maybe search via my pc. Hidden and system files were checked and shown. Still nothing. I calculated the size of my files on the MC, they are 6.4 gb but when i press properties it says that it contains 7.8gb of data. Any solution...? Please.
And yes, forgot to mention formating the memory card is not even a last solution cuz a have a ton of signed applications, which are quite expensive.

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.

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 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
Message Edited by ishmam156 on 09-Feb-2009 10:50 AM

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..

Nokia 5800 freezes, needs restart - problem starte...

Hi there,
I think I have a fairly unique problem, but I hope someone here can help me.
I have a Nokia 5800 which is fantastic, apart from the very annoying problem that the phone will freeze and ultimately crash about 50% of the time when I flick the key lock after it has spent a bit of time on, but not being used (in stand by). I will press a button (e.g. to bring up the dialler, or even just the menu screen) and the phone will obviously register the command (tactile response, and button will highlight), but not respond. If I leave it, it *might* eventually load, but any further inputs are met with the same overly sluggish response. It basically becomes unusable, and I have to switch it on and off again. If I have tried to press too much, ultimately even the on/off button won't respond, so I have to remove the battery. Once the phone is started up again, it's fine - until the same thing happens again about an hour later. As I'm sure you can understand, this makes the phone totally unreliable, and therefore not much good at its core function of being a phone!
This started happening the evening after my number was ported from O2 to Orange. I thought it was the phone itself, so I put the factory settings back on, then updated the firmware, and still I suffered the same problem. I took the handset back to the shop I bought it from, and got it exchanged for a brand spanking new handset today. I got it home and....same problem. V20 firmware was pre-installed on the new handset.
I am now thinking that this problem could be related to the number port - the week and a half before I did this, I had no problems with the phone whatsoever. I just wondered if anyone had any further insight on this, and if it's even possible for a number port to stop a handset working correctly?? Any suggestions or ideas are extremely welcome, this is driving me mad!
Many thanks.

Hmm. From what you've described, it doesn't seem to be related to the number port/SIM card.
If you press and hold the middle button (menu key), what applications do you see running?
The symptoms you described is quite new to me and I haven't had that happen on my 5800.
My next thought would be something new that's been installed. On both the original and replaced phone, were there applications, video files, or something that you installed after you got the phone? Include applications from either from Download! or external sites.
Does your phone come with pre-installed software from your network, i.e. a network variant?There are variants in the phone software customised to the network's specifications. In general, I find that a lot of major complaints about software issues tend to come from phones which have been customised by networks.
Unless someone else can come up with an idea, you could try the steps below (some of which you tried already, but can always try again):
1. Reboot your phone: Switch the phone off. Take out the battery. Wait a few minutes. Put it back in and switch the phone on.
2. Restore original phone settings: It will be under phone settings or type *#7780# in your phone's standby mode. No data will be lost, but you will reset all your phone's settings back to the default.
3. Hard reset: AKA the 3 finger reset. [not applicable for version 11. It's for 20.0.012 and presumably higher], you do a hard reset with the phone off and pressing the following buttons at the same time -- green "call" key, red "end call" key and camera button.
NOTE: Step 3 will remove all personal content and data added after the original default state. So you might want to do a backup using Nokia PC Suite's Backup application and/or backup to your memory card before you do any of those steps.
Otherwise, you may want to go back to your dealer (if it's still an option) or take your phone to be assessed at your Nokia Service Centre.

Problem updating Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Hello,
First excuse me for my bad English.
I have just updated my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic with the USB cable and plugged into the mains. At the end of the update, a window told me that I could unplug my phone and nothing more since it does not turn over: just a vibration but no screen display. I removed the battery and did another test and still nothing. Is there a solution or should I return it to the VAS.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, Did the phone complete the hard reset? I.e. after the phone is completely started up, it prompts for a country selection? To do the reset, the phone must be turned off first, then hold the relative buttons together / simultaneously while turning on, until prompted for the country selection.
If you managed to complete the hard reset, and your problem is still occurring, then please keep me updated as to how you resolved it, just incase I need to also try it
Thanks.
