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!

  • I am trying to set up iCloud on my PC. My congtrol panel doesn't have Network and Internet.

    How do I set up iCloud on my PC when I don't have Network and Internet on my control panel?

    Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

  • 701 Mail, Calendar, Social network and Web bug.

    Hello
    im pretty satisfied with my 701 but just right now i started to experience bugs. let me explain
    Calendar- sometime (always when i go through widget) when i open a calendar, it opens a speciffic day (the one that is actual), and im unable to select month or any other view point, and i cannot see any of my notes in the calendar until i restart my phone.
    Mail- widget sometimes doesnt refresh inbox even though i have it set on 15 mins. (happend last time for a week. thought i had no mail, instead i found 10 new messages.) also sometimes my mailbox wont open using widget, only with a normal Email icon.
    Social network just doesnt want to open at all. says (in translation something like "Unable to launch the client"
    Web- even though i have 3g network signal and mobile data are turned ON, opera mobile, and Web client (the nokia one) both cannot connect to the internet for some time.
    i tried backing up my phone data (not applications only galery, phonebook, music, ebooks etc and videos) and erasing (reseting) my settings. when i turned my phone on again, it asked me to enter time, date, my nokia account etc. as if i just bought the phone. then i loaded my backup files. email looks like its working again, calendar got stuck just today again... social network still doesnt work, web still cannot connect to 3g network sometimes.. 
    dunno what else to try, starting to be little angry, since calendar and web are the things i use more often then sms and calls. 
    is this common? will there be an update to fix this? or is there a simple solution to my prob?
    i would add an attachment supplying info about my phone but i have no idea where to get such file.
    thanks for help.
    Solved!

    No problems here!  
    Any way the Feature Pack 1 will solve those problems ...  

  • Computer - computer network and internet sharing

    I apologise if this has been discussed elsewhere - please point me to any useful links.
    I have a G4 iMac and iBook (running 10.4.6) both with airport extreme cards installed. I would like to use a computer to computer connection for file / printer sharign and most importantly to share the ethernet connection to the internet running through my iMac.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone could point out how to do this and incorporate a practicable level of security (I don't want any of the hundreds of people in adjacent flats downloading lord knows what through my connection).
    Having accomplished this, I then need to be able to create a similar connection when required so that when required I can share the internet connection from the iMac with our PC laptop running Windows XP service pack 2.
    So, the simpler the better, instructions for creating a computer - computer network for internet and file sharing between two Macs and following that between the Mac with the internet connection and a Windows laptop.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    G4 iMac USB 2.0 / G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You don't need to setup up computer to computer connection if your using internet sharing. Once you start internet sharing then your 2 computers are connected togther.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone could point out how to do this and incorporate a practicable level of security (I don't want any of the hundreds of people in adjacent flats downloading lord knows what through my connection).
    The problem you have is that if you enable internet sharing on one of your macs to share its connection over airport then the only level of security you can enable is WEP encryption.
    The problem with WEP encryption is that it offers no real security and can easily be cracked. WPA is the only security you should consider using and unfortunately OSX does not have WPA encryption functionality when using the built in internet sharing function.
    Your best solution is to get a wireless router that has a SPI firewall an WPA encryption. Depending on what your current internet connection is and how it is provided would determine the best kind of router to get.

  • Bluetooth Network and Internet sharing issue

    I'm trying to set up a network through Bluetooth between two computers having the latest Toshiba Stack installed, and to share the Internet connection with the second computer.
    On the firs computer I've set the Internet Connection Sharing, and because of this it automatically sets the TCP/IP adresses for the Bluetooth Personal Area network (192.168.0.1).
    On the 2nd computer, i've set everything to obtain it automatically. Firewalls (Kaspersky) disabled.
    When I connect the 2 Bluetooth devices, everything looks fine, the 2nd automatically obtains the IP adress, I can ping both computers, and the Internet also works on the 2nd computer, for a few seconds! After that, it appears like the 2nd computer is disconnected from the network... what could be the problem?
    In the event viewer under the System tab, I've found Informations like these:
    2nd comp:
    The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{E44D18EB-91F5-4... was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.
    The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{E44D18EB-... because a master browser was stopped.
    and at 1st comp also appeares this:
    The system detected that network adapter Bluetooth...Area Network - Packet Scheduler Miniport was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers.

  • Created Network and Internet Sharing Problems

    Hello,
    I created network with WEP password. I proceeded to turn on internet sharing.
    All works great until the iMac goes to sleep.
    Once it comes back on the network I created is missing and I have create it all over again.
    The internet connection is through ethernet staring into the iMac.
    Is there a way to get the iMac to stop forgetting the created network and leave the internet connection on? Even when it's sleeping.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    Is there a reason why you chose WEP? I ask because WEP is an encryption technology that has been cracked so if possible I"d suggest you use WPA or WPA2 encryption instead. Am I correct to assume you don't have a router and all the other computers connect to the internet through the imac? If you don't have a router I'd suggest you buy one, they are not much money and provide excellent protecton from the internet. A router will protect all the computers on your network behind its firewall and would no longer have to connect through the imac.
    A couple of things to check:
    Go to System Preferences>Network and highlight 'Wireless' on the left side. (Also, if you don't use Bluetooth or any other type of networking listed there delete them from the list leaving only Ethernet and Airport) Uncheck 'ask to join new networks'.
    Then click on 'Advanced..' and under the Airport tab make sure only your network is listed in the 'Prefered Networks' window. Under that window check 'remember any network this computer has joined' and uncheck 'disconnect from wireless networks when logging out'.
    That's the way I've got my computer set up and I've never lost a connection.

  • Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

    I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
    The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!!  I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY! 

    Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this?  Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

  • Nokia 5800-cant connect to internet

    hi i have a 5800 for few weeks now and internet used to work well.all of a sudden i cant connect anymore,tried different access point including wlan but still wont work and at times it seems to initiate browsing however it immediately stops and then the screen jam or froze.
    can anyone pls help if you have the solution

    first of all,thank you for taking time to reply.
    im not really good @ gadgets but when i first used my 5800 everything seems straight forward.immediately i managed to connect to internet using "contract internet" as access point and with wlan,I only have to key in the WEP code of my linkys and it worked well.over last few days i've been enjoying browsing the internet using different access point.
    since i had the problem yesterday i been scanning my phone setting to check if setting been altered but it hasnt,settings been the same since i boyght it.

  • Nokia Asha 306 Wifi and internet options

    I have searched this forum for answers but have not found any so post this here. I know the Asha 306 is not a top notch phone from Nokia, but it is still a good phone and I like it a lot. I bought it as an introductory smart phone, as I want to learn to use it before I go into more expensive models. I will list some problems I have had recently, not to criticise the phone or Nokia, only to name some problems that I can't explain. I admit some of this may be because of my ignorance ans so I apologize beforehand. But it would not surprise me if other people have had similar problems. I bought my first Nokia cell phone back in 1998 so I am not a new customer, by the way.
    First thing. I was glad to get a cell phone with Wifi, as this is cheaper than using a subscription internet service. I have access to free Wifi, so planned to use this in the daytime but then use a prepaid package at night or when travelling. To make a long story short, I adjusted my cell phone in such a way that it would prefer a Wifi network wherever possible, and then only go to the internet provider in case the Wifi did not work or if I did not have a password for the Wifi. This, it seems to me, has not been possible. When adjusting the settings in this way, the phone will simply not contact with the Wifi network. I had to turn the Wifi off before I could access the internet again using my prepaid package.
    Could a part of the problem be that my Wifi provider requests people to log onto the Wifi with a password every time? I used the password but the phone does not seem to remember it, even though the settings are set to remember password.
    Second, the Nokia OVI suite does not work for me. I downloaded it and then connected the cell phone, first by bluetooth and then by cable, nothing works. I thing this is a serious issue. I remember from past years, like five to eight years ago, that this was a recirrent problem with the Nokia phones I had then. I want to make a backup of my data for safety purposes. Since I can't use the Ovi suite, I have resorted to back up my data by copying the phone numbers and contact onto another cell phone thatI keep as a reserve in case my new phone gets lost.
    To return to the original problem, I think it very important that a cell phone will operate on a Wifi network without problems in order to save money. There are considerable costs involved for many people to browse the internet a lot. Therefore, the Wifi option is very important.
    Thank you for your patience. I still think this is a great phone and very good value for money, perhaps the best value for the money on the whole mobile phone market.

  • Airport Roaming Network and Internet Sharing

    Dear Esteemed Experts (Tesserax et. al):
    Thanks to you, I have successfully set up TC and 2 Airport Express N in a roaming network (plugged to Ethernet but using the same name and protocol) using 802.11n (b/g compatible) radio mode. It's working well, except a few blind spots to cover.
    If I want to add an old b/g-only Airport Express or Netgear Access Point (WG602) to this roaming network (plugging them into Ethernet outlet), will this slow down the N network?
    Also, can I turn on Internet Sharing on my iMac (with N capability) and make it to join the Roaming Netowrk? If so, can I manage it through Airport Utility?
    Thanks
    Aghoo

    If I want to add an old b/g-only Airport Express or Netgear Access Point (WG602) to this roaming network (plugging them into Ethernet outlet), will this slow down the N network?
    If it is connected via Ethernet it will have no direct affect on the performance of the 802.11n network.
    lso, can I turn on Internet Sharing on my iMac (with N capability) and make it to join the Roaming Netowrk?
    Internet sharing has nothing to do with joining a wireless network. If you want your iMac to join the wireless network, just go to the AirPort menu and select the network that you want to join.
    If so, can I manage it through Airport Utility?
    AirPort Utility is only for managing Apple's base stations.

  • Remembered Networks and Internet Sharing

    How can you view the list of remembered wireless networks to remove one of them? I don't want to connect to this one network when i'm in a certain area, and airport instantly connects when I turn it on. Also, whenever I turn on airport, my powerbook shows up as an ad hoc computer to connect to. Even when my airport is turned off, people can still see my SSID broadcasted from the powerbook. Is there anyway to completely shut down internet connection sharing so that my powerbook does not act as a wireless point?

    To turn off Internet Sharing, go into System Prefs -> Sharing -> Internet and untick it.
    To change your preferred list, go into System Prefs -> Network -> Airport (from drop down menu). You can also de-activate ad-hoc networks by removing them from the list and change the order they wish to connect to.

  • I have a Time Capsule as my router.  I can connect wirelessly to the network and internet with my MBPr, but my Mac Mini will only connect to the network wired or wirelessly. Airport on it sees the internet as green, but will not connect.

    I have the Time Capsule hooked to a wireless modem.  It uses a static IP, which is put in and running.  The MBPr connects, as well as my iPhone 5, to the internet and network without problem.  I can see the Mac Mini, external drive attached to it, and the Time Capsule.  The Mac Mini connects to the network wired or wirelessly, but not to the internet.  On wireless, using AirPort the Internet shows green, but no connection when I open Safari.  The settings under network settings are identical except for LAN IP between the Mac Mini and the MBPr.  I was hoping someone might have an idea of what was going on.  Before I moved the Time Capsule was on Bridge mode from another router, now it is on DHCP and NAT for the internal network.

    No, its is connected direct to the providers fiber box.

    Can any one help me, the phone is just 3 days old. 

    Thanks....now its sitting at nokia care with the promise that they want to change the mother board. Still waiting.....

  • Set up network and internet, main computer cannot 'see' base station

    OK, I am too stupid. My network was fine in the old place, after moving houses I reconnected the old way but it wouldn't work. I connected, i Mac, a powerbook and ipod touch. This is what I did:
    connected dsl modem to wan port on AE station
    connected lan between iMac and AE station.
    Resulted in all devices connecting to my network, no devise, not even the i Mac, connects to the internet, saying PPPoE host could not be found. ipod touch say safari could not find the server, but I think it basically means the same.
    Next, I tried to re-configure the AE station but the administration program on the iMac does not list my AE station, though my powerbook does. Reconfigured via powerbook but with the same result.
    Is there anyone who can make sense of what I wrote above? Advise would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, my ISP requires PPPoE and the AE was configured this way originally. I am not sure if I disabled PPPoE on all my other devices. Checked system preferences on the iMac (that is the main computer) but when I open the 'network' pane it says 'your configuration was changed by another program' (sorry this is translated as I am running the OS in German) and won't accept any input, not even quitting the system preferences.
    One more new thing, I tried to access the AE by putting the address and password in. iMac seem to find the AE but comes back with the message 'error occurred when reading the configuration'.
