as meentioned 10000 times before ...
updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
you can check for updates @ :
http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/dev​ice-software-update/can-i-update
To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like and in some certain countries "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy

  • NOKIA 5800 V50.0.005. PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.

    HI everyone,
    I updated my NOKIA  5800 from v40 to v50 through over-the-air.
    I didn't got all the features like quickoffice, cherry 2.1, Ovi music, Lifecasting, Rihanna servicelauncher.....etc
    My update package was only of 9.8 MB.Now I too can't reinstall the update through my NSU or OVI updater as the latest version of NSU is not showing any option to reinstall or repair...Please help in solving the problem . I want all the features of v50.0.005 in my NOKIA 5800.THANKS..

    If the update is not available for you, then its not. Just wait for it
    Reasons why a phone cannot update:
    1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
    2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
    3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

  • Nokia 5800 v40 updating problem!

    Hello
    So, I used NSU to my update my Nokia 5800 device, the code is on the list and both Ovi suite and NSU detect the new firmware, NSU downloads the update, then when it says " installing update" ( 15 minutes left ) it asks me to revome the USB connection, restart my device and connect it again, I did that, didn't work, removed the memory card and did it agian, didnt work. it showed the same message, so I used Ovi Suite, it did just the same thing, I thought my USB port has a problem, so I put the USB cable in another port ( I think that solved the ' conneciton has been lost with your device problem' but not for long, till I ran into another problem, " Iternal module error" I searchded for it, and this is what I  found /t5/Software-Updates/quot-Internal-module-error-quot-in-NSU-fix-offered-here/td-p/88351;jsessionid=5... I did what's mentioned there, it said "loadlibrary ("regsvr32 C:\WINNT\system32\msxml4.dll") failed - the specified module couldn't be found , any suggestions? Thanks.

    lol, sorry, "replying" for myself here,  the code is "regsvr32 C:\WINNT\system32\msxml4.dll" I use windows xp not NT, so  I changed it to "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml4.dll" which worked for me, now that my USB connection and Iternal Module problems are solved, I will try installing the new update using Ovi suite again, I will let you know what happens, bare with me

  • Nokia 5800XM FW v40.0.005 bugs report

    Hello, At first I would like to thank all those working on the development of Nokia phones.
    Then I would also offer a group of problems which discovered in the latest  firmware for Nokia 5800 (v40.0.005).
    Problems (bugs):
    - Some application icons are multiplied.
    - Some application icons are hided (Icon transparent).
    - Sometimes (when the sensors enabled) I restart the phone and find that the sensors do not work (Its still enabled in settings menu), and to solve the problem, I disable it then restart the device and then re-enable them. 
    - The device becomes slower with the passage of time
    - Software updater always failed to install python and scribble, even installing using Nokia Ovi Suite failed.
    - There a screen bug (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZsCCaqFxI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6818wmKbgY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3IzYvNYOs)
    Adds:
    - Add a way to open (Now playing screen) from media bar at home screen (because the way to open it  is long , you should open menu then go to Music then now playing, or from shortcut bar.
    - Gallery recognize all multimedia files (images-swf-video) even if it was not located in Image folder or Video folder, this good and bad, so add an option to only searching for multimedia file in the default media folder will be great, because some applications based on swf files or some image files (For example: PowerMp3, Flashlight) make the gallery unorganized.
    Thanks for your time.

    Usually I do this solution every 4-5 months to solve some problems, but i think this is a foible in Nokia systems!
    Whatever, this don't work well for this issue:
    "Sometimes (when the sensors enabled) I restart the phone and find that the sensors do not work (Its still enabled in settings menu), and to solve the problem, I disable it then restart the device and then re-enable them. "
    Because it was happened from the previous firmware.
    Also the biggest problem which I faced is :
    - There a screen bug (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZsCCaqFxI or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6818wmKbgY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3IzYvNYOs)
    I can't find a solution for it , also i noticed that if the phone located in a cold room (AC on 20 degree or lower) the problem will happen, and the lock button can't fix the it immediately.
    (I should wait for 5 min. or restart the phone to fix this)
    Also this still a problem for me:
    - Software updater always failed to install python and scribble, even installing using Nokia Ovi Suite failed.
    So the summary is:
    Screen bug
    Software updater bug
    * sensors not a big deal for me at this time.

  • Nokia 5800 Auto Fullscreen QWERTY??

    Hi All,
    I normally just use the standard alpha numeric keypad for texting and such on my 5800. That suits me most of the time, but sometimes I like to switch to the fullscreen qwerty keyboard.
    What I am wondering is, is there a setting or something that I am missing that would allow me to have the the alpha numeric keypad as my default and when I rotate the phone the fullscreen qwerty keyboard is activated? 

    After upgrade Nokia 5800 firmware to v40.0.005, the full screen QWERTY keyboard is missing from the input method shortcut (as shown in the screenshot).
    But, you can easily turn on or enable the full screen QWERTY at wish:
    1) Click the input method icon and select “Alphanumeric keypad”,
    2) Rotate the touchscreen to landscape mode (horizontal mode, if you want to call that).
    Voila, there is the full-size QWERTY keyboard appears automatically :-)

    Please need help!
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Under your battery, there's a product code on a sticker (X: 0586707). Go here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update and type in your productcode to see if there should be an update for your productcode. If there's not, you could take your phone to a Nokia Carepoint and ask if they could do it - no promises. Or else you have to wait untill your productcode gets it.

  • Nokia 5800 won't update to firmware v40.0.005

    Hello,
    I have tried to update my 5800 using nokia software updater several times( I am currently on v21.0.025), but no luck. The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect. I know of people who have updated their phones to v40.0.005 without incident.
                                         I purchased the phone in late December '09 and have been trying to update it since the middle of January 2010. I am at a total loss as to why the noka software updater won't detect the newly available software. Nokia them selves said that the update is available in my country(Ireland).I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software update.
    Thank you for your help

  • Nokia 5800 firmware v40.0.005 bugs that I faced

    I was quite happy to see the new firmware update for my Nokia 5800.  Looking at the new features like kinetic scrolling etc.. I've installed the update with no second thoughts.  I had taken the back-up of what ever I wanted and ready for upgrade.
    However, the below is the experience
    1. The update went smooth.  Phone has automatically restarted after the update.. I'm happy for few minutes.
    2. Basic functionality is fine.  Some of the applications like Opera Mobile were missing.  Understand that I need to reinstall them.  Also, wanted to update the Ovi Maps.
    3.  Tried S/W update option in the phone.  No application was able to install or upgrade.  After downloading the application, it just says update failed.
    4. Tried through PC Suite.  Experience is same.
    5. Soft reset the phone.  Now applications are getting installed or updated.  But there's another problem.
    6. Phone restarts itself upon any incoming call or alarm or any calendar alert.  This was very annoying!!
    7. Soft reset the phone again.  Imported the back-up.  
    8. With zero customizations, the basic functionality is back.
    9. Installed Opera Mobile back. Phone is working fine.  But the touch key board provided by Opera is gone.  It goes to phones default input mode.
    10.  All the applications like Fring, Google Maps, GMail are gone.
    11. Installed Fring (from Ovi store). Phone restarted.
    12. The incoming call problem is back.  I can't simply take any incoming call.  Phone reboots automatically, when I hit any option on the screen.  
    13. Uninstalled Fring.. Problem still exist.
    14. Soft reset again.. basic things are back.
    15. Don't have enough guts to install any new software.
    Summarizing:
    1. The firmware is very very unstable.  It seems to have a very narrow happy path.
    2. Beware!! Basic things like incoming calls are affected.  
    3. Some applications are not happy with new firmware.  They can break the phone.
    4. If you had any security related application like WaveSecure, do not forget to install it again. 
    Other issues found:
    1. Pause functionality has disappeared in the  Recorder tool.
    2. GPRS / WAP access points are taken in the order of preference.
    Other than kinetic scrolling, I didn't find any major difference / benefit from this update.  
    Do it at your own risk.

  • 5800 xm v40.0.005 WLAN bug

    Hi,
    Ever since I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 on 5800 XM, my phone automatically connects to the WiFi working in my home. Even after I have turned off all the settings to autodetect WiFi network.. It automatically connects to WiFi network as soon as I disconnect it manually. Earlier(v30 firmware), it used to connect only when I was using some application with WLan usage..
    Its annoying and also draining battery.. I can't switch WiFi router as other devices(laptops, PC) are using it..

  • Nokia 5800 software update (from V31.0.101 to V40....

    Does anybody works for Nokia here? I'm still hopeful to get real answers from real Nokia Support employees.
    This is my post so far. An I also responded on the I hate my Nokia 5800. But I dont really hate it yet. I jus need the sotware to update.
    Hi Nokia!
    I purchased your Nokia 5800 Xpress Music mobile phone and I am trying to update the software/driver to improve 1: Touch Screen scrolling, 2: version of OviMaps, 3: Ovi Contacts, 4: SW application, and 5:  WLAN performance.
    I called technical support for mobile phones, unfortunately it is unavailable according to the recording, i've waited for thinking its a wrong message, but nothing happened the call dropped after the message.
    The current software version is V31.0.101 and it does not upgrade. I have tried using my phone options to upgrade/update the software, this did not work, i have tried using the Nokia Software Updater but it can not find the new version of the software, and I have tried searching for the new software version by using my phone code under the battery and still it can not find the new software version.
    I need help on resolving this issue.
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Have a good one.
    Cheers!

    Done all the reset and the reinstallation oof firmware.
    NOKIA 5800 
    Mobile Issues
    The phone touch screen is not very responsive.
    Limited setting/shortcut you can set on the main screen.
    Alarm is inconsistent. Sometimes it’s late.
    Clock settings/time zone is not working properly.
    The charger port on the phone is a bit loose. Charging gets interrupted even if there is only little movement.
    Option is to update NOKIAs 5800 software. Current version is V31.0.101, the latest version is V40.0.005.
    Nokia PC Suite / Nokia Software Updater cannot find the update
    Tried to use the mobiles code, still cannot find the update
    My mate has the same mobile NOKIA 5800 on a Virgin Mobile plan; he was able to update the software. I got images of his phone and my phone with different versions, mine was the old version his got the new 40.0.005 His mate has the same phone as well, which they manage to update the software. He tried helping me update the software, but ended up unable to update the software and got frustrated.
    Option is to speak with TeleChoice Barrack Street. After TeleChoice checked the phone why it will not upgrade they suggested having the phone serviced/checked by Nokia Care in Morley.
    I let Nokia have a look at the mobile/issue, they told me they will be able to update the software for me, I left my mobile with them, and after 3 business days and the going back and forth to Nokia, and they were unable to update the software. Very sadly, they said it’s being locked by Optus.
    I am using 3 as my provider, the mobile I bought it outright from TeleChoice, no plan whatsoever. So I don’t understand why Nokia said it is being locked by Optus.
    The option provided for me is to patiently wait for updates, which is available now or to return the product.
    Now I am processing a replacement of the device from TeleChoice 10/02/03, hoping to have the issue rectified. They should rectify this, or there will be a violation againts fair trading.

    Actually, it has nothing to do with locking to their network. That's a totally different problem altogether that's independent from the branding.
    What's happening here is altering the firmware so that it contains Three's logo and links to some of their services in the menu. Plus maybe a few alterations to maintain compatibility with the network, although they should be minor since unbranded phones will work on Three.
    The trouble with making these alterations to updated firmware is that it takes time and therefore money to do it, and they get nothing in return. That's why it's such a low priority for network operators to approve updates.

  • No more fast GPS fix with 5800 XM v40.0.005 using ...

    Hi to all,
    I'm so diappointed to have losen one of the best strength of my nokia 5800 XM (fast GPS fix thanks to A-GPS function).
    Indeed, it's now inconceivable to hope a GPS fix before 5 or 10 minutes while staying at the same place. Thus, we lose all the interest of the GPS driving through a city !!!!
    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    Unfortunately the new Ovi Maps version didn't either solve the problem...
    Could you give your feedbacks on the problem or explain me how the problem might be resolved ?
    Thanks to all

    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    As you already had the problem best guess
    would be a hardware problem  rather than  firmware .
    Take phone to a Nokia Care Centre   or you could try wiping the phone and memory card and starting from a clean install .
