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..

Nokia 5800 question

is v31.0.008 and v31.0.11 same

All v31.x.x are the same firmware, just specific to different regions of the world (different languages, carriers, etc...). The same applies to the v30.x.x, and all other firmwares of any given major version number.

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.

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.'

Buying a Nokia 5800, does it work in Europe?

Hi..
Im living in the US now and for 4 months more. I need a new phone and was thinking about the Nokia 5800. My question is, if I buy it here in the US, will it work when I move back to Sweden? And do you know if there is any way to get swedish language on a US bought Nokia 5800?
Thank you!

It will work as a GSM phone worldwide but it will not work on 3G networks in many countries outside of the US and certainly not in Europe.
Your warranty will only be valid in the US too.
Nokia care points can add languages for a small fee, thats the only way.

Nokia 5800 with terrible slowness problem

I have a Nokia 5800. The device recently became very slow. The simple act of shutting down and restarting (detection range of a local network) take a period of several minutes long. Middle clicking on the menu appears, takes just a long time. What can I do to fix this.
It is important to note that the device is installed version 50.0.005

From what u tell it probably would help formatting it at some point. Note that this will delete everything on the card. Back up first.
Could you answer some of my above questions?
Meanwhile you could clear browser cache. Also an extreme amount of messages could slow down your phone if they're stored on the phonememory.

Keyboard local Nokia 5800

I want to ask development support it is possible to be developed for the Nokia 5800 keyboard with phonetic placement of keys in the Bulgarian language. The proposed standard keyboard with BDS use is available for writing with 10 fingers, but understand it is impossible to be located ten fingers on the screen 5800. Most of the users of this model in Bulgaria using the U.S. English keyboard, for writing in Bulgarian with Latin letters, because Bulgarian BDS has a different location letters. The next question is there a tool, that can configure the keyboard and install it in the phone. I guess that would be the easiest way to deal with many problems.
Thanks for the suggestions and assistance.

It wasnt removed. When in the alphanumeric keypad, just tilt your phone sideways to landscape mode and it will automatically show full qwerty. It only appears if you hold the phone in landscape. After all, what's it's use if you hold it in portrait.

However the the middle button does flash when there is a non read message in inbox. i tried to turn the phone off and on and it didn't work...sugestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi dragao20,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
In order to fix this issue, I would advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone. Enter *#7780# on your keypad, default lock code is 12345.
If the problem persists, I would suggest you to perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad. Default lock code is 12345.
The hard reset will dellete all your personal information, that's why a back up is very important.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Hope this helps and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
Pfrancoise

Nokia X6 questions from an interested buyer

i am selling my Samsung Galaxy S as i am very disappointed with its poor battery life and various bugs that came along with it. even with Froyo 2.2 coming the only thing that would save its day would be an excellent battery life, a fully-optimised software with Google Android and a good network signal which in my case i don't have.
until i saw your Nokia X6 which might suits me as regards music is concerned. but i wanted to ask:
1.. does it have the ability to edit/make a playlist on-the-fly (without the use of a software)
2. does it have the ability to add songs to the playlist on-the-fly
4. can i customise the EQ settings on ALL or a particular song to my liking?
5. compared to a resistive screen how is the touchscreen? is it that responsive?
6. what would be the best way to update the software? over-the-air or thru the Ovi suite?
7. i'm a bit particular on a phone's software and firmware. is there a way to
know the phones software version? and
is there a way to find out what updates does the OS "provide" my phone? (i.e. OS details)
8. is the X6 BBC iplayer compatible?
9. is there a way to actually play divx or xvid (in avi or mkv containers) on the X6?
10. i've heard there is no "kinetic scrolling" ability on the main menu. only on sub menus and the music & video menus i think. is this true? if yes then can this be applied on the next software update?
11. is there a cover flow-esque style in the music menu / player?
the reason i will be buying the X6 is mainly for its music capability ( a dedicated audio chip, surround sound, etc.). the apps are secondary but would be very beneficial to me in many ways anyway....
please convince me that this is the phone for me...
thanks.

The Nokia X6 is a music phone. It comes in 3 different variants;
Nokia X6 32GB
Nokia X6 16GB
Nokia X6 8GB
The Nokia X6 32GB Comes With Unlimited Music License so you can download as many songs as you want for 1 year. To your questions here are the answers;
1
Yes
2
Yes
4
EQ settings is customizable, so this effects all the songs.
5
Touchscreen repsonse is fast but not fast as the HTC Legend, Galaxy S.
6
Over the air is safer than the OVI suite (which sometimes can lead to a dead phone).
7
If you press *#0000# it will show you the firmware on the X6. If you go here you can select the X6 and it will tell you the latest version and the improvements/fixes/updates.
8
Don't know.
9
Don't know.
10
kinetic scrolling is available on the main menu using either v20 or v21 firmware.
11
Nope there isn't any. It just plain. It does however display album art.
By the way the Nokia X6 has other settings for the music player such as:
- Loudness
- Stereo Widening
- Balance (L/R)
This phone is great for music needs and the bettery is top notch. The speakers are by far the best from any other Nokia phones and the audio quality is the best and better than 5800 (which I owned before).
1. are there any phones that is as good as the X6 when it comes to the audio specs?
Nokia X6 is the best music phone so far. Some say Nokia 5800 got better audio quality, it's either their def or something. Anyone advises you to get 5800 for audio quality is a just dreaming. Nokia X6 audio quality is better than 5800.
2. with the coming C-series (C7 & C6) would they be as good as the X-series? basing on the specs & features so far they seem to be marketed as smartphone or for business users and doesn't seem to be as a "dedicated" music phone.
The C6 and C7 are no good for music.

N_gage in nokia 5800 xpress music

why nokia 5800 xpress music dont has n-gage but nokia n97 has it and they are nearly to each other and they are from the last phones

After gathering information from various sources I have finally managed to compile a decent guide to install NGage on the Nokia 5800XM using the files which have been circulating the web for the past week.
If you have any questions please PM me on the forum or reply to the topic and I will try my best to help.
Installing NGage
Step 1
Download the NGage Install Package which I have compiled below:
- http://www.1filesharing.com/download/RIROTQGS/NGage%20-%20Nokia%205800.rar
Step 2
For this to correctly work, you will need to have your phone hacked, this should be no problem providing you have a little confidence and common sense. I can confirm that using HelloOX does work as it is the method I used and I can use NGage fine. If you're phone is already hacked with HelloOX and you're having trouble, ensure that all patches (open4all etc. are applied and set to auto using ROMPatcher.
Step 3
Copy the file "NGage 2.0 Installer.sis" to your phone and install it. You will need to sign the file using SignSIS GUI or a similar application, you should already have a certificate if you have hacked your phone as you need to sign HelloOX to hack successfully. The install process will take quite some time and you will be prompted to press "Yes" to various warnings. I can confirm that no harm has come to my phone from this process, however, proceed at your own risk. I take no responsibility.
Step 4
Once NGage has been installed, you will be able to find it under "Applications" on your phone. The icon will be an orange "N" and it will say "Games" underneath. To play NGage games they must be copied to "E\N-Gage" with "E\" being your memory card.
Controlling NGage
Since NGage is designed for phones with a keypad, and the Nokia 5800 is almost completely touchscreen, the controls must be customized. I have so far come up with two solutions, they are as follows.
Control Method #1
This is the most stable and easy to configure control scheme, I can confirm this works OK.
Step 1.
Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" which can be found in the "Control Method #1" folder of the Install Package.
Step 2.
Run the virtual keyboard application from your "Applications" menu and then start the NGage application. You can use the Virtual Keyboard to control your games.
Control Method #2
This control scheme is still a work in progress but, with some fiddling and a varying degree of luck, you may be able to get it to work. Some people have confirmed it working with different settings. I feel that this setup, if working correctly, would be the best way to control NGage on a Nokia 5800. I would like to request feedback from anyone who has this method working!
Step 1
Sign and install "Virtual Keyboard.sis" and then "Virtual Key.sis", both of which can be found in the "Control Method #2" folder of the Install Package.
Step 2
Start up "Virtual Keyboard" so that you have it running on screen and then proceed to start up "Virtual Key".
Step 3
In the Virtual Key application, choose "Options" then "Load Mode" and choose "Custom Mode 1".
Step 4
Press "Options" then "Add". Highlight "Original Key" and then press the Right arrow on the Virtual Keyboard application you loaded earlier. Then highlight "Mapped Key" and hold down the "Volume -" key then press the "Volume +" key. If all has worked correctly the mapped key should change to "Vol+". Then do the same for the following
Vol+ .................. Left
Vol- ................... Right
No ..................... Up
Yes ................... Down
Camera .............. K
Then press "Options" and save your "Custom Mode 1".
Step 5
Set the Virtual Key application to run in the background and completely exit the Virtual Keyboard application.
Step 6
Start up the NGage application and try to play a game. Hopefully the Up/Down volume keys will control Left/Right when holding the phone horizontally, and the other keys should do what you mapped them to above. You may have to use the volume keys in the same way you had to set them (Hold down Vol- and press Vol+ etc. So now hopefully you can play NGage. Let me know of any other control schemes you guys come up with!
The installer and key mappers are freeware, but you need to purchase the games legally at www.n-gage.com.
I'm an Xploit - Please feel free to post your issues, feedbacks in this discussion forum and I'll do my level best to help, otherwise my knowledged friends whom are around willing to help you. Thank you !

Nokia 5800 and Ego Talk connected no radio and no ...

Hallo,
I bought an Nokia 5800 and in my car i have a EGO Talk carkit. Normaly my phones ( all Nokia) connects and I can still here and use the radio and cd player but now with the 5800 there is a perfect connection and I can and use my phone but there is no radio or cd working. Can annybody help me please??:womansad:

Hi Bitshifter,
Not sure what's happening to your wifi connection on the phone but I do think I have a solution to your two questions about the liveleak website and the Live TV app.
Liveleak.com uses a flash player that is not compatible for the nokia phones, I checked it on my phone and it keep saying that I needed to upgrade my flash player. The nokia phones use flashlite which is not the same version as what most flash sites use and only can be viewed from a PC. The sites need to mobile content ready for you to view the content, youtube is mobile ready.
The Live Tv app is viewing DVB-H, which is if the country your in does not have it up running, then not possible to use the app. Also on a side note, to the app you need the SU-33W.
Hope this helps in answering some of the questions.
