Reasons to hold onto my Nokia 5800???

The battery ran out on my Nokia 5800 the other day and I had my old Nokia E51 spare and it was nearly charged up so I popped in my sim card and away I went, this only started me thinking why did I give up on my E51 for a Nokia 5800. My E51 has a screen I can see when the backlight times out, the battery standby life is tons better than the 5800 (touchscreen phones drains batteries I hear) I can get a good version of Internet radio on my S60 V3 E51 (something that they never developed to work on S60V5) I can have a screensaver on my E51 (the Nokia 5800 screen goes blank) the missed calls notification light on the E51 is more noticeable, The camera on the E51 (even though the E51 hasn't got a LED flash) is tons better than the camera on the 5800 (which is very grainy pictures in low light) the E51 is lovely to hold (and don't feel like I am holding the brick like 5800) the E51 fits comfortably into my pocket as its slim, The home screen has the calendar entries and six shortcuts without me having to purchase an app (as in shell for 5800), I can turn on and off Bluetooth simply by just long press on the star key.
So really all I am missing is the qwerty (I like that on the 5800), the Stereo Speakers/sound of the 5800 the contact bar of the 5800, er I think that's just about it unless anyone else can think of any other reasons why I should hold onto and use my Nokia 5800?
I know what I really want but there is no way I could get it I suppose, what I want is a Nokia exactly same size as the E51 with a pull out qwerty keyboard, flash, Same quality camera as the E51, even a E52 which I have held doesn't feel as nice to hold in the hand as the E51, and the E52 is missing that lovely chrome surround and smooth battery plate that the E51 has. - I dunno you would think with modern technology that a person who has had/used a Nokia 5800 would never want to go back to using an older E51 model but with me I feel reluctant going back to using the 5800 now and much prefer using the E51 now!

After using 5800 for a month,i once took out my old 1100 and it felt loads better!! Now i only use 1100 for texting and calls but 5800 is still with me for browsing purposes.I now understand the saying Old is Gold!!

Nokia 5800 Express and Adobe Mobile Packager

Hi.
I wanted to use the mobile packager to get an app onto a Nokia 5800.
But I couldn't find the Nokia 5800 on the list of devices supported by the Abode Mobile Packager.
I created the app in Flash CS4...if I don't use the Mobile Packager how can I get the app onto the Nokia device?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can find a list of supported devices and countries here:

As of today we do not support the Nokia 5800 within the mobile packager, to package for this device you can use the Forum Nokia packager or SWFPack.com

Nokia 5800 Questions.

I posted this in the nokia 5800 problems topic but it actually wasn't a problem and also it got ignored. So I decided to post it in a new topic.
I just bought this phone 4 days ago and I am in total love with it Now the pros of this phone are too much to list but there are a few cons which slight bugged me.I have version11.0.008 from the begining and have not faced a single problem - no lag , no peculiar behaviour Now I have a few queries that I was hoping to get answered on.
1. Is it possible to add more stuff below the Search word in the Shortcut bar theme. Maybe a Calendar memo reminder or anything. I already know of the music now playing bar that comes there during tracks but other than that are there nothing else to be done?
2. Is there any way to use the 2nd camera?
3. In the silent mode , for some odd reason I might have missed a call ( i.e did not feel the vibration ) Now is there a option to turn on so that the phone will emit little vibrations after a period of time to remind me or notify me of a miss call? I have this on my razrv3i so missing it now The menu button just flickrs on off to notify of the missed call but is there no way to know I have a miss call without taking out the phone from the case and looking at it?
4. I heard theres a new update to v11.0.009 - But my NSU doesn't show it . I was wondering is it that necessary to update to this firmwire at this moment? I live in Bangladesh.
Thats about it The 5800 is a exta ordinary phone and I have not regretted my purchase yet and have no hope of doing so. It costed me around 272.74 Euros. The price to quality ratio is mind bogling

1. The Calender memo will show by itself if you have any entry made in the Calender.. It will come up as "Next Entry on ..." a few days in advance and the Actual details a day before...
2. Open Camera application.. Goto Options -- > Use secondary camera..
3. There are 3rd party applications like T-Reminder for this.. It has options of Sound/Light/Vibration reminders for missed calls / SMSs / other events at user defined interval...
4. Firmware versions are different for different regions.. Connect the phone thru' OVI Suit to a computer and check for the latest available for your phone.It says that version upgrade is for good but there are newer complains associated with them. So its up to you whether to take that risk or not.. If you are satisfied with the current version so be it..

Nokia 5800 missing personal files on memory card

Good day everyone!
I have a problem with my new nokia 5800. A month ago, i lost some of my pictures, which are saved in my memory card. I just ignore it thinking that somebody from my frends just deleted it. After a week, all of the videos, which i took, were all missing.. I was so **bleep** of. A while ago, an application that i downloaded from the net was also lost.. Im so frustrated about this.. Please kindly help me on this one.
Your response is highly appreciated. (n_n)

this seems to be a problem of a common virus as the 5800 is generally doing well except for some performance hogs.
@chan chan, there is absolutely no use when you use a PC antivirus to kill a 5800 symbian's virus. there are s60 antivirus out there, but i recommend you do a hard-reset of your phone by holding
"green" + "red" + "camera key"(full press) all simultaenously while powering on the device.do not leave the power key also till u see "NOKIA" on the screen.before doing this, remove the memory card from the phone and format it on the PC.after the phone starts factory-fresh, insert the formatted card.it should work fine now.also update to the latest v31 firmware.
remember to backup your contacts and other phone-memory data as hard reset wipes-clean all data, but do not use the "backup phone" option as it uses memory card.better sync contacts with other phone or PC
It's not always about KUDOS, but to make people happy with their Nokia. get the most of your Nokia.And be happy with what u get ......yet, please dont forget to press KUDOS if my post helped to solve your problem kudos=Rep++

Nokia 5800 V51.0.006 Upgrade

I had upgraded my Nokia 5800 XM software three weeks back to V51.0.006. While upgrading I had kept the 8 GB Micro SD Card out of the phone. Now my battery back up has reduced considerably since the upgrade. Please suggest if you any resolution for this.

OVI suite recommends to keep your memory card while updating your phone, but however it is done without failing. Means nothing wrong with installing update. try hard resetting your phone.
First turn off your phone, then follow these steps
Press and hold Green key (call key) + Red key (end key) + Camera key while turn on your phone. Release those key when phone ask for your country.
P.S. Hard reset will erase phone memory backup your important data first.
DON'T BACKUP SETTING, SETTINGS MAY CONTAIN ERRORS.

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.

Dear Nokia Careline,
The "No Return Policy" already be used here. Seem that I have no choice to go for other alternatives. Maybe I have to file the case to our local authority i.e. Tribunal Court Claim to exercise my consumer right here.
Perhaps, further blogs at Nokia discussion column, facebook, twitter might help to let others understand more about so-called Nokia Careline entertain their loyal customer.
If you insist your stand there, then I am always ready to go for my alternatives.
I won't let go unless you could satisfy me.

Dear Mr. X,
We appreciate your prompt reply.
We will be noting for concern as a feedback. However, please be informed Mr. Tan that Nokia has noted in the box regarding the said case.
The outage experienced by our sub-supplier was quite unexpected. Typically, the lead time for components such as this one is fairly long, and one cannot react to sudden changes at short notice. We value our relationship with our suppliers and sub-suppliers, and know that our sub-supplier is doing everything in their power to remedy the situation and return to regular supply.
The lack of TV out should not affect any other device functionalities besides that you will not be able to show/transmit pictures or video to external monitor/screen.
As Nokia does not have a replacement policy, we suggest to check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding exchanges.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Dear NOKIA CARELINE,
Yap, you can tell me leaflet included & a tiny label on the pack box. But who will really check every single area of the pack box & read the whole manual or leaflet when they decided to buy the phone. What normally customer will check is the handphone and the accessories. Now you are telling me that customer have to check everything even they buy something from a reputable company like Nokia. If I going in a shop that sell a China like Nokia 5800 handphone and I bought it then I won't have a say here at all.
I have checked with my retailer they allow me to return the unit but I can't get full refund from them. They are going deduct a couple of hundred cause they said the unit is considered used unit now. According to them instead of asking customer to wait they prefer to refund the customer. So who is going to bear for the cost now.
I certainly frustrated by getting a unit that without TV out function. If you are telling me that once manufactured the feature could not be added in, then I would say if you do have a unit with TV-out feature now you could exchange directly to your customer. Why still ask your loyal customer like me to refer to dealer or retailer. Is that what you mean after sales service or NOKIA CARELINE. You don't even care in the first place.
Your apologies certainly couldn't be accepted with reason of Nokia did include leaflet to inform and tiny sticker at the bottom of the pack box. Sound irresponsible to me at all.
What I wanna your care now, that is pls exchange a unit with TV-out feature with mine in which without such feature. Do I really put the CARELINE into difficulty position. Your reply to me is highly appreciated and also to show that you care or don't care.
Regards,
XX

Dear Mr. X,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
Greetings!
In response to your inquiry, please be informed Mr. Tan that due to a component shortage, a limited number of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has been manufactured without the TV-out functionality. It is possible that you have one of these devices. In that case, the sales package should have a sticker on the package and a leaflet inside the package that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Also, the TV-out cable has been removed from the affected sales packages.
Kindly take note Mr. Tan that it is not possible to add the feature after the device has been manufactured. Therefore we have labeled the affected sales packages with a sticker and included a leflet that inform about the lack of TV-out functionality. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
The new batch of phones should have the feature back. As this matter is clearly stated in the sales package, it is not possible to return to Nokia. However, you may check with your dealer if they have a policy regarding the return of the unit in exchange for a version that has the TV-out feature. Those individuals who wish to have the TV-out functionality should wait for a sales package that that has it again.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Nokia 5800 screen messing up

when i unlock my nokia 5800 the screen goes really messy and i can't read any thing. the only way to fix it until i lock it again is to press one of the applications, "watch". it started quite a while ago but i thought it might sort it's self out like most of the other problems i've had have... but it seems to be getting worse, now it doesn't even sort its self when i press the app sometimes and it takes a few attempts for it to work.
i don't know what the problem is and what to do to fix it, any help???

what firmware are you running on check and see if you can update
if the problem still continues back up your data and try this
Press and hold GREEN + RED + CAMERA when powering up.
Keep the keys pressed until you get the shaking hands. That should fully reset the device, with a lock code of 12345.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

I tryed to put again the software but i only get a new version on it or the same version and the viruses remain there! Help me please because I started to miss my phone...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do this:
A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
2.) Reinsert battery
3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.
Also, format your memory card. Just make a copy of your songs and pictures on your PC.

Bad performance on global race-nokia 5800

Ive updated my flashlite, and all, but the performance of global race game on my nokia 5800 (just bought a few days ago) is quite bad(framerate wise) compared to my cousins' 5800. what could be the problem?

When I read battery estimates I always deduct 50% of it, that is usually a more realistic figure...the battery times are laboratory test results and usually don´t have a lot in common with "the real world"...
This isn´t just with Nokia phones btw...
About your test: I think your battery is fine, one the reasons why you couldn´t achieve the 35 hours is that you had the phone turned on...and if the phone was moving (it was constantly changing antenna signals) then the result gets worse as well...
That´s all I can contribute since I don´t have a 5800.
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.
The day we stop improving is the day we stop being good.

Nokia 5800 - the contact list doubles in size by d...

Hello,
I own a Nokia 5800,
After updating firware from v11 to v20,
i started facing a weird problem.
from the home screen when i press the contacts button, the contact list comes up as expected,
but after about half a sec, all the contacts gets doubled( i.e. 2 copies of each contacts exist).
It doesnt happen everytime, but once it happens the only solution i found was to delete all the contacts, and copy them back from the memory card which i had backed up.
and in the options->settings, i have set it to display contacts only from "phone memory",
and not from "sim memory" and "service nums".. so problem is not with displaying contacts from 2 sources.
Also i have abt 420 contacts, so the sim cant hold these many( limits to 127 contacts).. so its not coming from my sim.
my 420 contacts is becoming 840 contacts.
Additional info:
If i delete one copy of the contact, both the copies gets deleted.
and also when a contacts makes a call to my phone, her name appears..( This doesnt happen if the same number exists more than once in the list)
Any1 has any solution to this problem or any idea as to why its happening??
Thanks.

NOKIA 5800 WEB BROWSER HELP!

My web browser on my nokia 5800 does not work anymore. I go onto the web browser and the phone freezes and stops responding until the web browser can shut it self down. I am currently using the opera web browser available on the Ovi Store. I need help to get my web browser working again. Any advise?
thanks
corryn x

You can discount a virus as a cause of your issues. If it wasn't for the loss of data involved, I would have suggested restoring your 5800XM to "factory settings" and re-formatting memory card, there is obviously corrupt data on your device/memory card.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Reasons to hold onto my Nokia 5800???
