Nokia 5800 XM keeps restarting!

Hey there,
I bought my 5800 XM in summer of 2009, everything worked fine till november, suddenly phone got stuck, I removed the battery, inserted it back try to start the phone, it was dead cold, when trying to turn it on it just vibrated and nothing else. I sent it for servicing, I got the phone back, they said the problem was fixed, indeed phone could be turned on everything seemed to be working just fine, when suddenly the screen goes funny colors and phone restarts. It's been like 2 days and phone still restarts every 10 minutes.
I've tried soft reset, hard reset, default factory settings, reinstalled the firmware like 5 times, nothing seems to be working. Don't think it's a battery problem, because it restarts itself, it doesn't turn off. Any suggestion for this pour little guy?
Thank you!
later edit: forgot the mention when I got my phone back from servicing, they updated it to v 40.0.005. nokia if you don't change your attitude towards your customers you will loose them. Already thinking of never buying a nokia phone and recommending the same to relatives and friends

Nokia 5800 freezes, needs restart - problem starte...

Hi there,
I think I have a fairly unique problem, but I hope someone here can help me.
I have a Nokia 5800 which is fantastic, apart from the very annoying problem that the phone will freeze and ultimately crash about 50% of the time when I flick the key lock after it has spent a bit of time on, but not being used (in stand by). I will press a button (e.g. to bring up the dialler, or even just the menu screen) and the phone will obviously register the command (tactile response, and button will highlight), but not respond. If I leave it, it *might* eventually load, but any further inputs are met with the same overly sluggish response. It basically becomes unusable, and I have to switch it on and off again. If I have tried to press too much, ultimately even the on/off button won't respond, so I have to remove the battery. Once the phone is started up again, it's fine - until the same thing happens again about an hour later. As I'm sure you can understand, this makes the phone totally unreliable, and therefore not much good at its core function of being a phone!
This started happening the evening after my number was ported from O2 to Orange. I thought it was the phone itself, so I put the factory settings back on, then updated the firmware, and still I suffered the same problem. I took the handset back to the shop I bought it from, and got it exchanged for a brand spanking new handset today. I got it home and....same problem. V20 firmware was pre-installed on the new handset.
I am now thinking that this problem could be related to the number port - the week and a half before I did this, I had no problems with the phone whatsoever. I just wondered if anyone had any further insight on this, and if it's even possible for a number port to stop a handset working correctly?? Any suggestions or ideas are extremely welcome, this is driving me mad!
Many thanks.

Hmm. From what you've described, it doesn't seem to be related to the number port/SIM card.
If you press and hold the middle button (menu key), what applications do you see running?
The symptoms you described is quite new to me and I haven't had that happen on my 5800.
My next thought would be something new that's been installed. On both the original and replaced phone, were there applications, video files, or something that you installed after you got the phone? Include applications from either from Download! or external sites.
Does your phone come with pre-installed software from your network, i.e. a network variant?There are variants in the phone software customised to the network's specifications. In general, I find that a lot of major complaints about software issues tend to come from phones which have been customised by networks.
Unless someone else can come up with an idea, you could try the steps below (some of which you tried already, but can always try again):
1. Reboot your phone: Switch the phone off. Take out the battery. Wait a few minutes. Put it back in and switch the phone on.
2. Restore original phone settings: It will be under phone settings or type *#7780# in your phone's standby mode. No data will be lost, but you will reset all your phone's settings back to the default.
3. Hard reset: AKA the 3 finger reset. [not applicable for version 11. It's for 20.0.012 and presumably higher], you do a hard reset with the phone off and pressing the following buttons at the same time -- green "call" key, red "end call" key and camera button.
NOTE: Step 3 will remove all personal content and data added after the original default state. So you might want to do a backup using Nokia PC Suite's Backup application and/or backup to your memory card before you do any of those steps.
Otherwise, you may want to go back to your dealer (if it's still an option) or take your phone to be assessed at your Nokia Service Centre.

New Nokia Lumia 1520 keeps restarting every 5 seco...

Hi all,
I have just got the phone and I have not installed a SIMcard into it, but if I press the powerbutton, it shows the Nokia sign for 5 seconds and then it becomes dark.
I then connected the charger but then the same thing happens except it restarts itself every 5 second and a vibration alert.
Is this a damaged device?
Many thanks for any help!

The SIMcard tray that came with the phone was on the left side and it was not put into the phone when I got it so I thought I could put it in the phone without a SIMcard in it.
It sat wiht a tape. Shall I put it out?
Is that the case?

Nokia C7-00 Keeps Restarting in a loop,

Hi,
I updated my Nokia C7-00 to Belle update on 9th Feb, 2012 and i have been having some damn serous trouble with it, despite of a huge waiting time for it's arrival, it was said that Nokia is trying to make it as flawless as possible, but i don't get the thing that why is my C7-00 re-starting so often, i.e every minute or two, i have FLASHED to original C7-00 4 times, can you imagine 4 times FLASHED.
I am damn not happy to what's going on, as soon as i start to open 3-4 apps, phone just gives up and goes back to it's restart and comes back to main home screen.
Specially when i open apps like QuickOffice Pro, Adobe Reader etc...
I am at all not happy with what's going on, and want Nokia to address it's restart issues by the end of the Feb atmost, otherwise i have no option other than to trash it.
Extra Apps Installed on Device by me
Opera Mobile, cuteTue, fMobi, Mr. Applock, Fruit Ninja, Swype
And, 1 more thing everytime the device is restarted it loses all it's configuration of the single, contacts image display on the homescreen, single and multiple favourites contacts get lost from the screen, and i have to re-add them manually.
I am very very disappointed Nokia, didn't expect this type of problems to show up..

Hey djluv, Apologies that you are experiencing this problem!
Have you fully the device or performed a hard reset? If flashing your devices please take your phone to a Nokia Care Point to flash your device as using third party flashing software can potentially cause damage.
Please be sure you have also installed the latest version of Nokia Suite and have tried re-installing the software via USB in Nokia Suite.
I hope this helps, and we hope to resolve your issue as swiftly as possible.

E7-00 keeps restarting, when network coverage is l...

After upgrade to Belle refresh, my Nokia E7-00 keeps restarting when network coverage is very low, or gone.
I think, that this is an issue related to the phone's network connection, because the problem of the phone restarting is non-existing, when the phone is in offline-mode, and the problem is non-existing, when network connection is good.
The problem did not exists before upgrading to Belle-refresh.
Anyone experienced this, or any ideas to solve the problem´?
Tanks in advance.
Best regards

Nokia 5800 - The phone will hang during restart if...

I had bought this nokia 5800 three week ago. This problem did not occur on the first day. On the second day, after i put in some media files inside the memory card through USB connection (using nokia PC suite), the phone will hang during restart and i need to take out the battery to turn the phone off. This problem keep on happens until i remove the memory card from the phone. Somemore, this problem does not disapear even i remove those media files.
With this problem, i need to remove the memory card evey time i restart the phone and plugin the memory card again after the phone is turned on.
Can anybody help me?
By the way, i would like to ask ---> if i plugin the memory card after the phone is ON, will it harm my phone or the memory card?
The memory card is original card come with the phone.
Firmware: V11

If this is happening when the MMC is not inserted then the fault almost certainly lies with the memory card somewhere.
A corruption of data can sometimes happen on the MMC when transfering files from pc to phone.
Try the following.
Menu
Applications
File manager
E. Memory Card (select and go into E: drive)
Options
Menory card options
Format
Select Yes
Enter Security code (default is 12345 is not changed)
This will format your memory card, and should delete any corrupted data held on the card.
Note that performing a format on the card will delete all data held on it.

Nokia 5800 - keep screen on when charging?

Is there a way to keep the screen of the Nokia 5800 turned on when the phone is plugged into a charger. This functionality was available on many older generation (non-Symbian) Nokia phones, but I can't find such a setting on the 5800.
Similarly, it would be useful to have a way to keep the phone unlocked when it is plugged into a charger.

my nokia 5800 keeps freezing/crashing when i try to view my pictures and videos? what do i do

Try clearing privacy data in browser to get a bit of ram back. if no good , do hard reset, you'll need to re-set up phone so back up first. Then type *#7370# and use passkey 12345 and phone will re-start and be like'out of the box' your memory card will not be affected.
Good Luck

Nokia 5800 keeps connecting to WiFi every day.....

I do not know y my nokia 5800 keeps connecting to wifi every day...few times a day...
i have to manually disconnect the wifi but it will connect again later on....
i think it could be a virus or bug when i already set to manual connection for the search availability option...
could someone explain to me asap the CAUSE of it...ty

Another culprit is Share Online. Even caught me out once... I came to the (obviously false) conclusion that some theme contained a form of malware and was doing naughty things, bit then remembered that I'd set share online to update automatically every 6 hours.

Nokia Maps on 5800 XM keeps shutting down on start...

Hi everyone,
I bought the Nokia 5800 XM two weeks ago, and have been playing around with it. The Nokia maps application is really cool until recently, when everytime i start the maps application, it just shuts down automatically. I never get a chance to connect to the internet with it, or navigate using the touch screen. I recently installed nokia map loader as well and installed some maps, but nothing helps. The application keeps shutting down every time i start it. I also did a software reinstall using nokia software updater, but that didn't help either.
If anyone has this problem or knows how to solve it, i would be really thankful!

I am having the same problem. I've tried reloading from the Nokia site but the version there won't work - it says it is not compatible with the phone even though I selected the 5800 from the available phones list. No idea about a solution though.

Can't see images after Nokia 5800 phone restarts

Hai.
Plz help me. I am using a nokia 5800 XM phone. I took some photos and videos of a function which is very important to me. After that I view it also. But the phone switched off because of low battery and when I switch on the phone again, i can't view the images and videos in the gallery as well as the file manager. I did't deleet it. There were about 50 or 60 images and 2 videos of about 3 minute duration. After the phone restarted i took only one photo and one video of 2 second duration. That files are still there. I don't know whether those precious files are still there or it got deleted. When I connected my phone into PC as mass storage and check the property of the folder, it showing as 64 images, but no files inside the folder expect those photos I took before. Please can anyone help me. I will be really greatful if anyone can give a solution

Nokia E6 keeps restarting

I have a Nokia E6, i installed the Kaspersky mobile anti virus and was using the trial version. After the trial period got over i purchased a new license and uninstalled the trial version.

Please help what should i do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I having a same problem with all the above.
After read a few suggestion from here and other topic, I'm deciding to do the following step TODAY at 5pm:
1. I'm reset to the factory setting > restore.
2. Change Network Mode > Dual Mode to GSM. The phone quite stable and I'm waiting when it will retargeting by its own again. Last few minute starting from restoring the phone, it restarting 4 time maybe due to the Dual Mode which is the phone getting a 3G or 3.5G signal it start retargeting again and again.
3. Switching Mail for Exchange from Auto to Manual Sync.
As of now, the phone quite stable and running smooth. No more restarting issues. Hope I have a patient to wait until getting a new stable OS for Nokia E6-00. My aim toward Samsung Galaxy Note or S2.....hemmm....If NOKIA want me stay/loyal with your product, please resolve this issue ASAP!

Nokia 5800 keeps losing wifi signal

When i connect to the internet, ovi store, google maps....anything that requires a connect on my nokia 5800 using my wi-fi it only stays connected for about 30-60 seconds then it says connection lost, it makes using wifi at home just impossible. There is nothing wrong with my internet as i conect to my modem with my ps3, psp and laptop and never ever lose signal. The signal strength on the nokia 5800 is over 80% and am never more then 10 feet away from modem but still constanly loses signal.....please help

I am also having the same problem I have to wireless routers in my house never had any problems before connecting to them but just this past week it my phone keeps losing connection and if I do a refresh it picks them up but once I try to connect. I get the messiah no wlan connections available.
Am thinking of contacting orange and asking for a replacement after all I do pay the £5 a month insurance.

Hi
Couple of months back I upgrade my Nokia 5800 to V40. After that, i have started having peculiar problem with the FM Radio. Radio plays fine...but when I keep switching the different saved stations, at one point it just HANGS. No keys on my phone / hands free work and the only option left for me would be remove the battery and reboot the phone.
Appreciate if somebody can let me know what could be causing this problem.
Regards
Vijay

I found a funny solition for this. But ıt is working. Thisis the things what i did:
Restart my 5800.
Open bluetooth.
Connect to the Nokia suit.
After that open my radio on 5800.
