Nokia 5800 With a Capacitive Screen..

" South East Asian models of the smartphones have already received the update and the rest of the world should follow soon. There are also rumours that the firm will update the 5800XM with a capacitive touchscreen which will improve navigation and responsiveness greatly."

and lots of other sites are talking about the same as well...

Don't you feel a bit ripped off with this...You buy a brand new one and within a couple of month they release another version of the same model with a capacitive Screen. Sucks man...I feel like I am a Guinea Pig, They checked if we would love the phone, We did, and now they are upgrading.

Two options are better than one, namely, lock screen manually or automatically. Is it an impossibility?
Am not sure about your requirement (..sorry, did not understand it)..but on Nokia 5800xm you can either automatically lock the screen after a pre defined period..or simply keep it Unlocked infintely. Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Phone Management-->Auto Keyguard..set the period to User defined or None as you desire...But, even with this set to None.. the display will go out between 5 and 60 seconds max. (..again user defined) ..Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Display-->Light time-out ...
...and further check THESE applications ...

  • 5800 Xpressmusic getting capacitive screen?

    Engadget are posting a rumour that the 5800 is to get revised with a capacitive screen instead of a resistive one. I'm taking this with a pinch of salt, given that the 5800 has a stylus (maybe it's just a new handset model similar to the 5800), but it's nice to hear that Nokia are considering capacitive displays now. An N97 with that display would be outrageously awesome.
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

    hi there, try the Nokia Carrying Case CP-361 for 5800 XM or you could at least try to visit any nokia store near your place and try to look for alternatives

  • Nokia 5800 express music monitor "screen" problem

    hi all,
    i've a nokia 5800 device and i've faced a very serious problem:
    when i lock the phone and unlock it the monitor or screen dont appear as previous normally, instead of that shaked colored lines appear, so i can't see who is calling. But the touch is working normally so i can play music or answer calls but without knowing who is calling.
    if i switch the phone off then switch it on i see the the screen normally, and when it locked then unlocked the same problem appears again.
    i've tried to solve the problem by formatting the device but it is no use
    the same problem faced my frien
    i don't know what to do, please give me a hand......
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've been having a very similar problem with my nokia 5800 expressmusic.
    it started off like yours but then the screen went fully black.
    the green, white and red buttons at the bottom work so does the small touch button at the top right.. those lights always come on when i unlock the phone so they're fine.
    I know that my phone is still working because i was randomly touching the screen when the phone was unlocked (even though i cannot see anything on it) and i ended up calling somebody. my only problem is that i cannot see the screen at all!!
    i've tired turning my phone off, taking out sim and memory cards, putting different sims in and charging it.
    nothing works!!
    is there anything i can do?
    can anybody help me with this?
    or is my phone just past its 'use by' date?
    please, please help me!
    thanks

  • Nokia 5800 with Greek letters

    Hey all,
    I'm hoping to buy a new phone sometime in the next week or so.  I have been looking at the Nokia 5800 however there's a minor setback.  Because I live in Australia, the languages are usually Asian languages and English.  The problem is, I do part time translating and quite often have to message friends in Greece for help, and it's a pain writing in "Greeklish."
    Does anybody know if:
    A.  The Australian version comes with Greek
    B.  If not, is there a way to install a Greek character keyboard 
    I've used Nokia for the last 8 years and I really don't wnt to change for something so minor, but I may not have a choice.
    Anybody know the answer?
    Thanks!  =)

    A. It does not come with greek installed on the Australian version of the phone.
    B. You can get the language added at a nokia care point, for a small fee.  Ask at your nearest before purchase to ensure that they can do it for you.
    You cannot add it yourself.

  • Nokia 5800 with Route66 Mobile 7 for S60 V2/3

    Hello, 
    I have Route 66 Mobile 7  S60 V2/3 installed at a new Nokia 5800.(it comes from my older Mobile N80i)
    The software Route66 start up very well but can handle the touchscreen of the Nokia 5800.
    Is there an possibilty  that the Nokia 5800 can work with mine Route 66 version.
    Route66 said that you need S60 V5, but maybe somebody knows an other solution.
    Thx

    What do you mean lie? This is not a tech forum. This is a user-to-user forum. Posting here comments or suggestions regarding what you want for the next firmware is unlikely to reach the software developers simply because they dont go here. Even if they do, its rarely. We arent Nokia Employees
     2. Radio Freeze - running my radio now for 10min. Still isnt freezing.
    3. My mp3's have tags. They're all correct. Maybe the program you're using for tagging is not compatible?
    4. This I dont understand. I thought you said Navigation? We're talking about Ovi Maps when you refer to navigation right?
    5. Hmm, cant say I noticed. Whenever I clear browser cache, memory size goes back to what it was before. Well, at least IMO this works fine for me.
    6. What's wrong with using that program to clean?
    8. Why bother putting factory application when there's free out there? Would only make the cost of making the phone bigger.
    9. I'll try to check this. I usually use Opera Mobile and Skyfire because they have flash support. I think if you have enough free RAM you might be able to play facebook games here.
    10. Hmm, ok I'll try to connect to Ovi store for longer than 30min to see if it crashes. have you updated Ovi store yet?
    11. Uh, how much free memory do you have on C anyway? I have like 37mb free, and it's pretty fine. Cache cant eat all of those in a week.
    Anyway, I think your phone has bugs. it seems that the APAC firmware has bugs. I'm on Euro version.

  • Nokia 5800 with Ford fiesta

    I have just got a new fiesta with bluetooth and recently got a nokia 5800.
    I tried to set the phone up so that i could have it handsfree in my car, they paired fine and i can dial through my car but once i try to call someone it doesn't come through the car speakers it stays as a handset call.
    The phone shows the bluetooth connection with a car symbol in the corner.
    I have tried the car with a different phone and it worked first time so it is definately my phone.
    The ford site says that the 5800 is compatable so why wont it work??

    RM-428 is the North American version. They use different frequency bands over there so your 5800 will not work on 3g in Europe and most of the rest of the world. It should however work in GSM mode.

  • Nokia 5800 with 32gb card?

    Has anyone tried the 5800 with a bigger card than 16gb? There are some romours that it can handle bigger cards...

    In theory it can handle 32gb (and even larger like all S60's that support SDHC) but they are not commercially available yet so it is unknown.  I read somewhere last month that a 32gb preproduction card had been found to work on nokia S60 phones that support SDHC but no specific details were mentioned.
    All you can do is wait until the cards go on sale then check blogs and forums for people using them. Nokia will not officially confirm in advance if they are compatible or not.

  • 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.

  • Nokia 5610 with dead(?) screen

    Hey guys I seem to have a problem!
    I was uploading some mp3 to my newly bought Nokia 5610,
    I got it 3 weeks ago. I installed the latest software etc etc. Now here we go: I was uploading the mp3's and at some point I had to go to college, and I thought it be alright if I just left my phone on the desk so it could upload the songs while I was gone, and it'd be done by the time I would get back.
    Then I thought that maby the battery would be empty soon if it was uploading all the time, so I got my charger, and I plugged it in the mobile... and then suddenly the screen went black. I was like... euh? O.o what was that.
    So I start looking at what could be wrong (no i didnt open the device exept of taking out the SIM card and battery and back in again so my warrenty is still intact) Its pretty weird, the screen is black, but when I put it 'on' it vibrates 1 time as normal, I see black letters "Nokia" apear on a dark grey screen. And then nothing happends. The only thing noticable is that the screen goes from total black to dark grey for 2 seconds, it does this 3 times and then it stays black. And then I can push 'on' again and the exact same happends again.
    So I thought, maby the battery went dead? I put in the charger again, and this time it kept on going from black to grey untill I unplug the charger. Also when I connect the USB to my computer, the pc finds the 'new device' and then immediatly it disconnects again. This happends everytime the 'cycle' starts again (going black to grey 3 times and then black). So it seems like it is going On, and then after the screen goes black for the last time it is turned Off again.
    Its the only thing I see, nothing apears on the screen exept "nokia' (in a weird place aswell, at the middle-bottom instead of the middle where it normally apears).
    I'm bashed... I bought this mobile 3 weeks ago, never dropped it or anything. Nothing seems to be damaged either, from the outside at least.
    It was all fine untill this morning. Now im not sure wether it was because of uploading the mp3's, or because I plugged in the charger, or combination of either.
    Again its about the Nokia 5610 Xpress Music, Has anyone encountered this problem or has suggestions? Else I'm afraid I will just have to get it back to a repair center in Amsterdam (after I told al my friends my new number and said that they could delete my old 1 :/)
    Any help is appreaciated!

    Well mate, the only experience i have with this phone (I have the same as yours) is that you should bring it back to a nokia care centre (for locations see posts above) and tell them what the problem is, then they should update/flash the software. In the worst case they will send it to external repairs, which will cost a few weeks (2-4). That is what is happening to my mobile as I'm typing...
    Just ask them if they cant do it right in the store, they should be able to. Try to avoid that it is send to external repair as that will cost alot of time. It will help you to understand if you read the a/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=34235

  • Nokia 5800 - Realplayer - stream - black screen

    I have the problem with Realplayer screen stays black when listening internet radio. This happens after upgrading to V30. With V21 it was OK. Tested the problem on a second new 5800 and have the same result. Firmware V31 = the same result.  

    I have the exact same problem when listening to internet radio. When I disable the 'key pad lock' and realplayer was left active the screen will be all black and you cant get realplayer to show up and the phone wont react when touching the screen. Two ways to get around this is to either quit realplayer via the task bar or pressing the start/pause button on the head phone dongle thingy plugged to the line out socket. I got this problem with the version 31 not sure what version I had before updating.
    please fix asap!
    considering to go back to previous version if that is possible.

  • Nokia 5800 with Sony Ericsson HBH-PV770 disconnec...

    I manage to pair and talk thrue the headset but it disconnects after a few minutes.
    They are compatible acoarding to http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-ericsson-hbh-pv770-p15660.htm
    What to do ?

    The Nokia 6300 phone is designed to meet Bluetooth Specification 2.0, hands-free, headset, generic access, generic object exchange, object push , file transfer , dial-up networking , SIM access , serial port , service discovery, personal area network , advanced audio distribution and audio video remote control profiles.
    the above specification will fully support the advanced music control features of the DS980..on the other hand for full control over phone book the phone should support bluetooth phone book access which i don't think the phone does. "a point that has to be confirmed by other members".
    another point is the laguage used on the phone, if you're using non english characters on you phonebook , please change one of the names to english letters and see if it appears on the headdset. if it does then the headset only supports certain languages and phone book entries has to be in that form to appear.
    please tell me how it goes with you

  • I have a nokia 2620 with a broken screen need to g...

    I can just barely make out top of screen, and I need to get my contacts off and onto the sim card. If anyone can give me the sequence of keys to transfer them I'd appreciate it. I have a new [phone, sim card works in it, but my contacts arent on it. I can't even remember my mothers phone #. Stupid technology.

    The drive is probably formatted using the Windows NT filesystem; Mac OS X can't write to this format without additional software. If desired, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase it.
    If it's formatted as MS-DOS, FAT32, or exFAT, run a disk repair utility on it.
