Nokia 5800XM phone lock issues

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these problems? I searched and could not find anything relating to this.
I use the “phone lock” feature which requires you to enter a pin number in before being able to use the phone whenever it is locked. This is different from the key lock feature which just requires you to unlock by using the scroll key only. When the phone is "phone locked" the only things you can do is answer a call and snooze/turn off the alarm. Everything else requires you to enter the pin to unlock. I use this feature for obvious security reasons.
I have found two problems with this:
- Firstly, the “activate loud speaker” when answering is unavailable until you unlock the phone which can take a while and not easy to do if you are driving.
- Secondly, sometimes the alarm window for snoozing/turning-off does not work. It just hangs and I have to power off the phone. The alarm window appears under the "phone lock" window and even the buttons on the phone cannot stop the alarm. This happens occasionally and notably more often if I use the snooze.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
TIA

It must be a faulty card. Try formatting it and see if it works. If not then you should replace it.

Nokia 5800XM - Automatic Answering Issue
Example Issue
Have a weird problem with my Nokia 5800. Occassionaly when someone
calls, the phone auto answers after a ring and I am not able to answer
the call. This happens only occasionally. How can I remove the aut
answer completely?
Solution
There's no auto answer for the device itself unless u plugged in

1. Menu -> Settings
-> Calling -> Call -> Anykey Answer -> set to OFF
2.
Menu -> Settings -> Phone -> Accessories -> Scroll all 6
category there and set all Automatic Answer to OFF
Important note: It shud

I noticed the Nokia Connectivity Cable Drivers had a Repair Function, i ran this process and reconnected my device.
All drivers were then found and installed correctly.

Is Mail being pushed to your device?
Although it would be a pain necessitating backup of essential data first, you could always reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user).

Nokia 5800XM High Performance Battery

Nokia 5800XM High Performance Battery
I saw this advertisement and also some of my friends in Malaysia using high performance battery on their Nokia 5800XM phone. Whereby the standard power output allowed to the device is 3.7volts @ 1320mAH. However, these users bought higher performance battery (linked example below). My question is:
1. Does this allowed by Nokia to be used by end-users on the device?
2. Any side effects technically on long term use?
3. Does Nokia covers warranty on this issue?
Example seller link: http://www.valuemax.co.uk/product_details.php?id=15835
Note: I prefer some senior members / Nokia staff to reply on this topic.
TQ .. XM
I'm an Xploit - Please feel free to post your issues, feedbacks in this discussion forum and I'll do my level best to help, otherwise my knowledged friends whom are around willing to help you. Thank you !

Using this battery in and of itself will not have any impact on your warranty.
However, if the phone is damaged through use of this battery (eg. electrolyte leakage or explosion!) then it will not be covered by the warranty.
I actually have one of these batteries and I'm pleased with it. Please do note, however, that the camera window is poorly designed making flash photography impossible. There is no insulation between the flash and the lens meaning that light from the flash floods any photo taken using it. It has no discernable impact on daylight photography, though.

Is there a sliding trouble in Nokia C6 phone?

Now i have a nokia 5800xm phone. I like buy a nokia C6 phone (because of C6 has best stylish homescreen, customize widgets, 5pxl camera & good sound quality ect....) But somebody says slide phone face hardware problem. (They mean, between phone keypad and display connectivity cable). Please explain me. Thank you.

I don't know if the C6 itself has a problem but in general Nokia slide phones are quite robust. If it's built anything like the 5200 then you have nothing to worry about for years. Probably even until you have to replace the handset.
My 5200 is over 5 years old now and the cable still hasn't been damaged. it only got disconnected on the screen side once(after 4 years of use) and it was very easy to fix because I had the right tools.
Hopefully other C6 owners can comment and help you decide. I don't think you have anything to worry about though. Just make sure that if you drop the phone it is closed

Phone locked up and other issues

I was having issues with my phone last night. Sync was a problem and I received several messages that sync for calendar and contacts could not be continued because phone was disconnected! Phone was not disconnected nor was the computer in sleep mode. I ejected the iphone from the itunes program reconnected and now itunes did not see it. Lucky I had taken a couple of pictures. Then iphoto launched and asked if I wanted to download pictures. Once I had then ituned came up and saw iphone once again. I once again tried to sync to no avail. phone locked up on removal- I called support- was on phone with support in about 10-15 mins. I was told that so much was going on with new devise that I should be patient and give it time to learn all imported information. Then when holding power button down did not work I was told to hold home button and power button down- viola it did a hard restart.
We keep going I went back to import and set setting to import what I wanted- songs- photos- movies- ipod web cast- addresses- and contacts. It went into import mode- everything looked good- it said import completed and them screen went black when I ejected from itunes the phone was sounding as if it was continuing to import on phone hard drive. Vibrating and syncing sound coming from phone. Phone did not respond to anything. No to power up, wake from sleep and another reset or hard reset only brought up apple screen and stopped. I was tired and went to bed. THis morning I got up to a screen that said low power, very thin line on battery image. I have let it charge now for two hours and I am back to battery that is 3/4 or a little more then fully charged. I have tried to import and it seems to be working.
After all I think I am up and running with music, contact, calendar, movies, tv and podcast imported. I have 8 gig and from what I choose to import I have a little over a gig and a half available. I want to play with wifi and web and all the functions but I am letting iphone fully charge up before I do. I am frustrated with what I have to refer to as crashes- feel think I am on my 840av computer with premiere video pushing to the max. till CRASH- I dont know if this has been issue with anyone but I feel the after 600 plus dollars and this out of the box I need some explaining!
On the other hand I switch from my blackberry and AT&T account in a matter of sec. with no issues.
Thats all for now!
I hope to love this iphone and feel I will but .......
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Not sure if posted previously:
My phone locked up while I was watching a video of Apple's website and I clicked the button on the earbud wire and it paused the video and started playing music. Then clicking it again, the screen froze. Holding down any one button did nothing, but I held down the top button and menu button and it rebooted the phone. Nothing was lost.

Request for phone lock code - Nokia E7

I got updation for my E7 to symbian anna. when i am trying to activate phone lock, it asking password and i tried 12345. But the phone shows incorrect password. It is the first time i am trying to enable this option. pls share other lock codes.

You may have changed your lock code , if you can't remember it then you'll need take it to your local Nokia care point. Please bare in mind that you will need back up your files first as any activities performed by a care point will potentially delete all your data.
I should stress that there could be an additional charge for the service.

Nokia 5230 v 21.0.004 phone lock problem

hi, I've recently updated my nokia 5230 to v. 21.0.004 software/firmware. After I turn off and turn it on back again, It asks for phone lock code, I entered standard code 12345, its says code error, but still I can use my phone. The phone management setting for phone lock is off, I tried to change the phone lock code, but after I re-enter the new code, it says "you've entered the wrong code five times, you can unlock in five minutes" or something like that. Is anyone have the same problem with me or have a solution for it. Thanks

if you can still access full function of your phone, reset your phone to factory setting. It is also recommended to do factory reset before formating(soft rest/hard reset) phone or firmware update. And disable phone lock. Some users reported that same code(used earlier) is not recognise by the phone after soft reset and firmware update

Nokia 5800XM says: "Phone start-up failed. Please ...

Hello,
3 months ago, I got a Nokia 5800XM from a friend of mine, cause my own phone was demaged. It was a very nice phone. But 2.5 ago after I updated the firmware, says my phone: "Phone start-up failed. Please contact retailer.".
I've been to the retailer, but they said it's too difficult for them. I'm also been to a Nokia Care Point, and they said that a new 5800 was cheaper than to repair him.
The death vulcan grip/hard reset doesn't work. I tried it 30 times.
How can I fix this? I really want to use him. Another firmware is ok.
Kind regards,
Rogier

Bit surprising if you really got such responce from Nokia Care..because it MIGHT have just required firmware flashing which certainly will cost nowhere around the cost of new phone.. If possible, try another Nokia Care..

My Own Concept Idea - Nokia Gorilla Phone.

I figure a range rather than just limiting myself such as the Navigator Series, the E series, the N series, but this could be the G range or Gorilla Range. anyway i'd like to see this based on Symbian 60
OK might as well warn you,i'm drunk now, i was drunk when i wrote it too, so i've not spell checked it or anything and to be honest not going to either until i wake up so here goes, if nokia can't take on iphone because they don't understand what 'bling' is yet. so anyway check out my concept phone idea.
Nokia's Gorrila Phone
Specs for: Nokia Survival Range - The Gorrila Phone
This is all new, This is for the mountain climber, the skier the extreme sports, the swimming
coach, anyone who works in a dusty or dirty enviorment, this is for the construction worker, the
security gaurd, the police, this is for everyone who likes to venture out past their back doors
and into the wild extreme world we live in, scared of going into a pub in the fear of dropping it or
falling out, the Gorilla Phone can handle it.
We first have to do a special technique to this phone to get it to be what people will need
and want.
*Waterproof
*Sturdy Gel / rubber type case to protect it from drops
*GPS
*WIFI
*Accelerometer
*Compass
*Barometer*
*Signal Amplifier*/Better internal antenna design
*All the frequencies we can fit on
*Small Camera, nothing fancy
*8/16 Gig of Memory for user content files and games images / videos
*100+ meg of ram
*OLED 320*200, enough to see a map on would be ok, a little larger than the Nokia 6110
*Bluetooth *heart rate device
*Docking Station (maybe compatable for future releases?)
Able to squeeze as much power out of it as possible with say a 1amp/h battery
All radio devices off mode except anything you select on the list to help conserver
battery life or survival mode.
AND
Docking Station which connects at the bottom of the phone and then clips onto the phone, there
will be 5 (or more) little metal pins that protrude out of the plastic phone which is slightly hidden out
of the view due to the gel like case..
[Nokia's]
[Gorilla]
[_Phone_]
{ I I I }
[ ] (this is the docking station which just clips in and accesses the ports from the PC)
DPV
So basically once you cliped it on the 5 little pins (as soldered blobs protude gold coated
to prevent wearing away
(Sea water might be an issue, might stick a warning in saying not suitable for sea water due to errorison
which will be down to you other than that the phone should work fine.... maybe a cost underwarrents to
just replace those pins meaning a component could be designed to simply pull out with realitive ease making
it cost efficient to both the user and nokia...)
Other than being able to make actual phone calls maybe if that went under a thin peace of plastic that can be
easily heard so that the case does not get in front of sound quality. and likewise near the bottom or some sort
of attachment for a waterproof speaker. The electronics with the exception of the connectivity modual to make it
easy to exchange the rusted component pop it out and replace)
Battery / Sim Card.
Pull off the battery case, some kind of switch to lock the battery cover into place to prevent it coming out
even if you try yourself, the inner side of the phone should have a waterproof gasket to prevent any kind
of water coming through under the battery.
Outside of the phone we appear to have 0 inputs but infact we actually have it with this simple docking
station, the docking station is connected to the PC via usb so this way your phone simply clips on
no fuss no looking around for a spare usb port, or plugging in the cable, the docking station makes it much
more easier.
---- +
---- Data
---- Data
---- Whatever.
The data can then be grabbed off the phone on the computer, the docking station, while docked it will charge
the phone, it will supply USB 2.0 and transfer files between phone and computer, optional for later advances
could be given on the docking station also USB/WIFI file transfer if not using the docking station
Gorrila Phone Charge In(0) Such as, External Chager
USB Out (which connects to PC)
TV out (TV OUT)
Headphone out (unplug the computer's USB)
- etc
Virtual Drive or Real Drive via Micro SD.
Virtual would be for example this gorilla phone were the 8 gig internal is the memory card on E:\
once connected to the docking station, you then have the unquie ability to put in an 8 gig memory
SD card into the dockingstation and backup or use (from windows explorer) and be able to
copy either from internal memory or external memory of a memory card you've inserterd, in terms
this is a way of cloning your memory card as a backup, this could all be done with the docking station
and a simple button of "Backup Memory Content" simply have a little Green LED and Red Led come up when
you press copy, Green for writing/Reading, Red for Error, or maybe Orange for finished succesfully...
you could then back up your phone to another memory card anywhere anytime... how useful's that! or even
have the ability to use that dockingstation's memory with the mobile device itself and as long as it's connected
you can even install programs on it.... 2 Drives, the posibilites are endless.
So all the outputs we're all so a custom all now live on the docking station, so now what, the protection
of the phone comes first, all the circuits have to be covered in a gel/rubber/glue expoy type substance
and injected protecting the delecate components, it has to be essential to protect ribbin cables
and other little pins and cables that have to stay firmly in place, also doing this will increase
the circuity's protection against g-force and shock.. once all the gaps have been filled and all made
sure to be very very watertight against dust and all else that is thrown at it...
Now then the Gorrila Phone's key aspects
*Survival of any keen trecker or explorer will need and want.
*Tough for the toughest jobs, Construction Worker, Police, Law Enforcement, Road Workers.
*can be dropped from X amount of feet (based on calculations done)
*Survies water and dirt
*Can be submerged underwater up to 30 Feet for 30 minutes or so? etc, give it an IP rating of IP-6
Now then why does an explorer or hiker need this?..
*Electronic compass will always point you north, combine this with GPS and you'll have
yourself a way of locating your position and which direction you're pointing.
*Barometer, small symbian application to interpret the pressure in milli bars, you could
then have your phone warn you if the pressure's increase (high pressure, good conditions) or
if the pressure starts to drop rapidly which could indicate bad weather (storms etc)
*Altimeter could be used, however the GPS is far more precise, maybe something in the future could be done, this would
be uptodate information, other phones could even send into a server, how much processing power and number crunching would
take place if every mobile phone could send a FREE SMS to a server every few hours with your GPS location
and altitude, world wide, i'm sure we'd be able to improve weather predicting with so much data coming in
from the people who say yes to submitting data to a weather server, providing the altmeter is calibrated.
GPS data, this phone will go all out to get a signal, then you have a series of options like sms my current
location to another phone or a request for help including how high up (altimeter/gps) his/hers cords from
the GPS
with the OPTIONAL bluetooth heartrate monitor.
*the phone could connect to a bluetooth heartrate monitor and then it displays the BPS of the indvididual
and a small sensor to measure temprature from the person as well.
*Maybe a Resuce Mode
*Safety mode / tacker
If the person who's in danger is able to get a signal even from 2g or the phone
will automatically try if it's in rescue mode, in rescue mode it could get your body
temprature, BPS, get your GPS location and direction heading from compass, even the barometer
so it could report things like weather info to help, for example is it safe to use a helicopter?
Why yes, the last 8 sms text messages the barometer has been increasing, but could easily be looked
up anyway.
If the person collapses, the SMS messages until someone arrives will be the only info, since we
are able to monitor heart rate and location, the emergency services will arrive.
Now if the heart beat drops below X BPS, it could automatically SMS the wife, brother, girlfriend
or even multiple people, reporting back the person could be in a lot of danger, there would be nothing
like this on the planet.
If not in danger, there will be software to monitor vital conditions, tempraterue of you, it can
also see where you've been by tracking your data and storing it automatically on memory, all data
stored could be used as a 'black box' once recovered, in other uses..
In other uses, it could detect that your heart beat has just shot up from 80 up to 120 and higher
it was an instant change, this could then SMS the parent, or the phone could make a high pitched alarm
sound either as to prevent an attacker and drawing attention to you or the high pitched alarm could be
an alert to others to say something is wrong with you and seek help, it could even detect low heart beats
and also do a similar warning of sms or both.
the Gorrila Nokia Phone can survive up to say -30c because it's well insulated and well protected
from the outside elements if there's a way of making a watertight seal with a slide, use that
if not the keypad can be put below as traditional phones go for example the new nokia 2960 style.
internally protected by epxoy too, So for a good rough phone that withstands abuse and yet be
absolutely packed tight of features nobody could say no.....
With the broadsprectrum of frequencies the phone has to offer, 2G, 3G 3.5G etc etc you stand more
chance of getting a signal with the better antenna or included signal amplifier/booster to pickup
that signal that might just save your life and then your phone becomes your only chance of hope....
Without the gorrila docking station, you wont be able to charge the phone without one although
you could use bluetooth/wifi in the short term for data transfer...
*Accelerometer / Barometer/ GPS...
Each one could be used for this but if all 3 were combined an accurate result would be optained
and better to accurately determine to warn or not, for example if the heart beat drops or increases
significantly an automatic SMS text message can be delivered to friends and family instantly before
the person even realizes themselves...
The person might be climbing the side of a hill and all of a sudden he trips and ends up sliding down
the hill, the Gorilla Phone might be a few feet away now even outside the range of the bluetooth heart
/temp monitor, ok, the phone is montioring the altitude via either altimeter or GPS or both, the acceleromter
detected the sudden movement and jerk and strong G-Force at the very millisecond he falls.
the alitmeter suddenly declines in only a couple of seconds, and now the heart rate monitor is out of range
based on that data.....
The person has just fell 3ft from X,Y GPS cords, and the phone landed X,Y GPS cords, it then gets as much
data as possible such as altitude, temprature from phone (or heart rate monitor) and if the phone is not picked
up within 10 seconds, the Nokia Gorilla Phone kicks into action sending out an SMS with your location on it can send up
to 10 people or so of importance along with contact info directly to you when it happens.
by now, the SMS message will provide emergency services precisely to the location of
where the person has fallen or rough position, as the person may lay 3 or more meter away from where
the phone had landed, this could very easily save a persons life, imagine if this happening at night
in a wooded area, if the phone is simply dropped most people would pick it up within 10 seconds, even then
a drop from roughly were you're holding the phone to where your feet are would indicate a dropped phone......
The heart rate monitor could sit on you as every day normal life and if you have a heart attack, your
phone will know (providing you're linked via bluetooth 10/100m range?) there's a serious medical problem
and again could easily get the message out to save your life, even possibly having an option where the phone
smses AND turns on the loud speaker so you can talk to emergency services, maybe a simple voice to speech or
if you can't speech and can't move, there's not going to be that much of conversation but could be added.
SMS Return: Location: GPS Cords X,Y; Altitude: 844m; HeartRate: 50; Pressure: ?milibars
time spent getting to you to save your life,
rather than time spent trying to find out where you are.
Another option would be to text the phone and then get a text message back automatically
providing access was granted on the phone.
The Ultimate Survival Tool... Nokia's Gorrial Range of phones.
They can save your life, they're tough take them anywhere you want, show it smashed down
hard onto the table with an iphone (lookalike) that just smashes into pieces with the phone
saying pick me up (since it will detect the smash as a drop of phone onto say concrete)
if it detects a fall, if it does not get pickedup within 10 seconds, people are alterted
to this fall or collapse,
Difference in this case between fall and collapse is simple, what's your heart rate at if
there's a problem there, it does not presume it was dropped and that you're in serious medical trouble
take it swimming with you in the swimming pool, get your GPS cords and display them on a map
geotag photos, get info about the weather, using the barometer high and low bands if a low pressure
wave comes in and the barometer is dropping 998, 983 over a period of time will indicate what's likely
to happen, if it increases better weather, if it decreases the weather coming in is bad, the phone
will then direct you to start looking for shelter or find a nice lookout sunshine on the way...
So all is well? the bluetooth monitor could even be attached to you sleeping so if your body
temp and heart rate drop badly, it looks like you're freezing to death, the phone will then alarm
a danger sound to try and wake the person sleeping up as well as contacting friends and family
who will ring you, or give the message out with the GPS info out to the emergency services.
The nokia gorilla's not just another phone, it's your buddy who looks out for you and will follow you
into any conditions you go into, you work on the construction site, you wear a hard hat for protection
when you see a nice new iphone (lookalike) all pretty has to wear a yellow hat, what a disgrace... while
the Gorllia slilently laughs...
The toughman phone with the ultimate survival tools, the Nokia Gorilla Phone, kicked, sat on, used
to prop up your monitor, very tough and very strong handles whatever is thrown at it... but with GPS
Barometer, WIFI, Compass you'll have everything you'll ever need handle what mother nature can throw
at you..
Maybe a couple of LED's to make the casing light up at night incase you drop it, which a sensor can detect
if it's dark or not after it's been dropped (fed by data by the accelerometer, drop found, any light? no switch on lights)
Oh yes and relax by playing with the internet browser over wifi, enjoy the better reception you get from better
antenna or boosed up (amplified) radio signal.. enjoy the fact you can depend on this phone, it's your buddy
not just a phone.
So anyway guys what you think?

The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless)
The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

N70 Phone memory issue

Hi,
Using Fexplorer, here is what I see
C: (8884/11804 KB) flash
D: (1816/1831 KB) ram
E: (400/489 MB) disk
Z: (0 / 0 KB) rom
Now when N70 has 22 mb internal memory, why i see only 11.5 mb ?
I have formatted using *#7370# and formatted the rs-mmc as well.
Thanks

If you feel that this is a major issue then reinstall firmware. But before that hard reset your phone by
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.( Just in case of N78 it will be the multimedia key the small silver key on right side & for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up).
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button to switch on the phone.
4. Release the buttons when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
But keep a backup as you may lose your data. I dont know whether this trick actually works on N70.
Mark my posts as helpful if anyone finds it! After all you will make us improve.
Thanks for kudos if you give!

Nokia 800 auto lock screen

Is there any way to disable auto screenlock?
It only has 4 time periods, 30s, 1m, 3m and 5m.
Other Windows phones allows off, so it seems Nokia has done this by design.
This is an extremly annoying feature if driving where I listen to music from the phone through the sterro, if I want to skip a song I have to unlock first which is distracting and dangerous instead of simply swiping.
I can understand it can save battery but when it's plugged in this isn't an issue, plus I lock my phone when I put away anyway.
This is a design feature which is forced on us instead of allowing us to choose for ourselves.
Os there anyway this can be changed in a future update.
As I said other windows phones like HTC HD7 never had this so its not the OS.
It also does it while using maps with navigation, which is useless, it doesn't seem to do it with Nokia drive though.

This seems to be an issue with Windows Phone. On my Nokia Lumia 800 I also don't have the 'never' option. However, my friend has the exact same phone and he DOES have that option. The only difference I can think of so far is that I use a password to unlock the screen and he doesn't. In that case it is kind of logical that the 'never' option is missing when you require a password to use the phone. However, even when I disable the password, the 'never' option does not return...
For me it is an issue during my running work out with the Sports Tracker app. When running, I don't want to enter a password each time I need to check the status in the app. So before I start running, I disable the password and set the screen lock to it's max of 5 minutes but I still find it very annoying that I have to swipe away the screen lock before I can see my running stats.
I search the internet high and low and find many posts in forums from people with the same issue, but no post at all that actually confirms this is a bug or 'expected' behavior.
Also not encouraging, I also found this post that says this issue also exists in Windows Phone 8.
During my search I also found the official Windows Phone Forum here.
And you may want to give your vote to this idea about this the screen lock issue.
