Nokia 5800 showing small coverart.

I have searched this forum and others but all I can find are threads concerning difficulties displaying coverart on the phone. My problem is not showing the artwork but that the artwork shown is very small.
I have updated SW to v21 as this should have solved the issue but it has not. I use Itunes to organize my music and Salling Media Sync to transfer the music and the coverart to the phone.
Am I missing a setting or am I simply using wrong images? I usually search for the picture on the net and manually ad it to Itunes. The pictures are approx 20Kb and 300x300 and always Jpeg.

I would think this may due to 5800 compatible issue with image from itune the images may bee resize during the process.
To confirm this, you can manually update the album art in Nokia 5800.
1) copy your album image (300x300) into nokia 5800 memory card (ie E:\images) directory.
2) Go to the music player > Albums > "select your album".
3) Then, use the "Option" > Album art (should see your album image).
4) Select the "Option" > Change > (look for the album art image you have save earlier on 1) and replace it).
Good luck

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic- No Apps show up after upgr...

My Nokia 5800 XpressMusic shipped with a 4GB memory card. But that was too small for me, I used up almost all of it, only 500 MB is left.
So I bought a 8GB MicroSD HC memory card. I then took the 4GB out and inserted the new one. And then I transferred all of my data (pics,vdos,music,docs, apps etc) using a backup of my 4GB memory card which I created using Nokia Ovi Suite sometime before that.
But the backup was not successful, though all of my Images,videos,music, docs etc were restored, I dont see any of the apps I installed on that old memory card restored here in this new one.
But the main problem is that they are there, they were transferred. But they don't show up in the applications folder. I think they are hidden cuz when I tried to install one of the missing apps (Google Maps), my phone said that app already exists and asked me if I want to replace that etc. Also same with the Ovi Store app. If I try to again download the missing items, It doesn't work (the download button is greyed out).
This problem happened though I restored my backups twice.
Please give me a solution on how to fix this. I really need it. It took me a lot of time to download all of those apps. So I really need it now. How do I make them appear?
Pls
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since you already have the back up of all your content, do a soft reset and only restore contacts, messages photos, music etc but not any apps. Then see if ovi store let you downloade them again.
You do the soft reset by dialling *#7370# with default code 12345 (if you have not changed it your self)
This will wipe the phone memory - therfor the back up. You might also have to format the memory card if there's something there triggering ovi store to believe the apps are already installed.

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.

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.

Video and photo date&time stamp (nokia 5800)

Hi,
i have the nokia 5800 and i'm having a strange problem.
i had to format my memory card so i copied everything to my pc, and after i formated it i copied everything back to the memory card.

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.

Nokia 5800 Troubles and Suggestions.

I am sorry for my English, I am from Russia.
I have Nokia 5800, version 10.0.010 04/11/2008, User version 10.0.010.205.01, Language 05 (Russia).
Wearing has some errors:
1. In the built in Internet browser at mapping number from a floating point, the fractional part is not displayed. For example number 16.75 is displayed as 16. On the personal computer all displayed normally. If it is necessary, I can send a screen shot.
2. Photo the camera. The white balance in pictures is not correctly installed. The photo has shades yellow or blue. Basically it appears at shooting indoors and not depends, what lighting - natural/fluorescent lamp/heating lamp.
3. Customizations of the camera after an out from a shooting mode are not saved.
Suggestions:
1. The Camera. To make operative customization of balance white on a leaf of a white paper.
2. The Camera. To make saving of customizations of the camera and restoring to standard customizations.
4. Small lamp (lantern). To add the application "Lantern" on flash light-emitting diodes. Modes: to switch on/off and shine 1 minute.
5. Keyboard layout. Very often at text writing it is necessary to switch from Russian to English. Switching through the menu is not convenient. It is necessary to make switching in one click by the additional button on the virtual keyboard. For fast switching each user should set a “Set of Languages”.
6. To add the application allowing to store various notices in enciphered mode - passwords, codes, numbers of credit cards. For example application “HandySafePro_S60_Touch” .
Can You give me an e-mail address of software for NOKIA 5800 developers to transfer them this information?
Yours faithfully Alexander.

Nokia 5800 Huge Icons

Hey friends
I have nokia 5800, recently upgraded to V30. but the icons in menu are really huge.. i want small icons which was there in v11. Is there any option to make them small?
There is small font option but that doesnt changes icons in menu grid.

I have the same issue. Updated to v30 on 03/11/2009 and my menu icons have gone from 4 in a row to only 3. They now have the description underneath but I now have to scroll up and down pages which used to show on one screen. Changing the font size to small makes no differance.

Nokia 5800 and Ovi Suite Contacts Sync Changes Pic...

Hi,
I have a Nokia 5800 and just installed the latest Nokia Ovi Suite (2.0).
It is a good tool, but I have a problem with the synching my contacts.
Befor Ovi sync, I use to associate pictures from my gallery with contacts. When I dial the contacts the picture of the contact took up most of the screen (until the contact answers the call - then it makes the picture small and puts it in the speech bubble)
After I sync'ed with Ovi Suite, the contact picture now shows up as a small - very small - thumbnail image during the call on the phone.
Is there something that can be done to protect this from happening, or a setting that can be changed in Ovi to use a large picture instead of a thumbnail?
My 5800 has the latest firmware installed (available to me in my country) - which is 31.0.101.
Thanks for the help in advance.

one more bump and then I give up on Ovi suite. Once again

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..

Problem with Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

Hello. I have a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music for about a year now and been taking great care of it. I don't know why but a while ago it started freezing at times when i would try to turn on the camera..had to multiple times restart the phone and remove the battery in order to make it work (In the open applications menu it would show the camera running but you wouldn't be able to use it). Then i noticed that the two touch buttons it has in the main screen (dialing and phonebook shortcuts) wont work either, no matter how many times i press them nothing happens. Same goes for the Green and Red button on the left and the right side of the phone (Accept/Decline buttons), they won't work either when i'm on the main screen (wallpaper), they do work in the main menu though. I tried resetting my phone to manufacturer settings but nothing happened. What is wrong with my phone? Can anybody help me with it very please?

Welcome to the forum!
When you say restored "factory settings" I don't know whether you mean that you backed up essential data then keyed in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself); I would remove any memory card first and see if any difference before restoring device.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Nokia 5800 Social Network and Internet/Email conce...

Having owned the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for a couple of months or so, I must say that I really like the phone and it has great functionality.
My main concerns/issues however are outlined below:
1. Facebook for Nokia app is slow, does not show all of the functions that m.facebook.com shows and isn't a homescreen widget (e.g. push notifications)
2. Communities app is even slower and again does not have the functionality of m.facebook.com and doesn't show notifications at all!
3. The Nokia Messaging app insists on connecting to 3G all the time, rather than a wifi connection when available. I've also experienced intermittent issues when trying to connect (sometimes it stays offline and even selecting 'Go online' doesn't wake the program up).
4. Default web browser keeps crashing and doesn't support larger websites (I experience intermittent crashes as well as memory issues). I do not receive such issues in Opera Mobile. I also dislike the defaulting to full screen mode all the time. If you turn full screen off, as soon as you navigate to a different page it goes back to full screen again, therefore increasing the activity on the phone and it takes longer to load the page before you can scroll or click another link.
I think I've covered all of my main concerns but in essence this device really needs better app support and social networking integration.
I would be grateful if I could be given an update on if/when we can expect to receive such support.
If anyone else agrees, please indicate below along with any additional feature requests relating to this topic.
Thank you for your time in reading this post.

Same issues here, facebook is almost unuably slow (it's quicker to boot up the laptop!)
Messeging will not use wifi and i have a limited data plan so can't use it for attachments.
Web browser randomly exits for no reaseon and the lack of width adjustment is infuriating
Now ovi store's won't let me download!

Want to know how the GPS works on nokia 5800?

Hi, are there any documentation explaining the working principle of how gps on nokia 5800 actually works? I want a kind of in-depth understanding...Thanx in advance.

Network based positioning is the fastest, but most inaccurate. Basically, it looks at what cell tower you're connected to, and approximates your location to be the location of that tower. The phone will use this FIRST (if you have enabled it), because it gives you an approximiate position while you wait for GPS to work.
Integrated GPS is the actual GPS receiver built into your phone. It receives signals from the network of GPS satellites and calculates your position. Due to the inherent design of the civilian GPS system, it takes time for the receiver to see enough satellites to figure out where you are. Because sometimes this time can be 5 minutes or more, the cell companies developed Assisted GPS.
Assisted GPS (AGPS) is just regular GPS, helped out by a server on the internet. Your phone will take partial GPS data (not enough to get a fix on its own), and send that data to a server (in our case supl.nokia.com). The server knows a LOT more about the exact locations of GPS satellites at any given time, so based on partial information it can compute a very good approximation of your location. This happens very quickly because a server has a much more powerful processor, and many more resources, than your phone (to put it simply). The amount of data actually sent is very very small (less than 1KB every time). AGPS helps out in getting a position fix quickly when the gps receiver hasn't been used for a while, or when you are in an area without great GPS reception.
So the order of methods used by the phone in your case is as follows. First it will give you an "approximate" position using Network Based Positioning. This will happen almost instantly. Then the phone will immediately get to work trying to get a GPS fix, and will use the AGPS server if you have allowed it to. Note that you must have an internet plan with your cell provider for AGPS to work, since it sends data to supl.nokia.com which is on the internet.
Hope that clarifies things,
Ravi

Nokia 5800 Xpress Call Waiting notification

Hello all
I have problem with my nokia 5800 xpress.
the problem about call wating.
when i call someone he call to another we usually see in all other models a notification "call waiting" to be know the person we are calling to is busy talking with another
nokia 5800 xpressmusic doesnt show this notification "call waiting"
this problem causes many problem for me.
that i think that the person that i callig dont want to answer me
but the truth he is talking to some one in his phone.
i have my nokia 5800 since firmware v50.x i think that nokia will solve this problem in the next firmware but didn't solved in v 51.x and waiting for new firmware and now updating my phone to the last firmware but not solved too.
pls any one have a solution reply me.
sorry for my english not good
i hope to understand me.
thanx alot

furthermore if the reciever doesn't want to recieve ur call, he may let ur call ring through and through, in which case u'll hear ringing and at the end u'l hear a voice sayin tht the person isn't pickin up ur fone plz try later.. OR there he may reject ur call, in that case u'l 1 or 2 rings and then a voice tellin the prsn u r tryin to reach is busy, etc..
Of course these vary accordin to network..
Well in any case it's a network issue not a handset issue..
Check with ur network.
What say farby?
Regards,
Dr. Shoubhik
